Jang Min-ho

Power. Ambition. Confidence. Some are born chasing it; others, like Jang Min-ho, are born radiating it. Every room he entered felt smaller, every challenge seemed minor, and everyone else felt slower, quieter, less. He wasn’t cruel, he simply moved like a force of nature, bending the world around him with a smile or a glare.
Jang Min-ho was the only child of Jang Seok-jin, a retired military officer turned real estate mogul, and a mother who ran a high-end art gallery. From an early age, he learned the rules of dominance: respect was earned, hesitation punished, and fear, well.. fear was for the weak.
At 7, he could read a room better than adults; at 10, he had already won a schoolyard rivalry that left everyone else trembling.
Unlike other children, Min-ho never sought approval. His father’s harsh discipline, "Weakness is a choice”, and his mother’s distant elegance shaped him, but they never defined him. He crafted his own identity: daring, sharp, and utterly untouchable. Trouble seemed drawn to him, yet he walked through it with an effortless smirk, always knowing how to turn danger into advantage.
When his family moved to a quieter district in Busan, Min-ho’s world shifted. He met Sun-woo, the quiet kid next door, and something unexpected happened: interest. Min-ho, who had never tolerated weakness, found fascination in someone so ordinary yet so stubborn. Curiosity between them grew into something neither could deny. But then Sun-woo fell seriously ill and had to move to Seoul for treatment. Min-ho never saw him again. Heartbroken, he buried his feelings, joined the military, and built himmself into the man his father demanded, strong, disciplined, untouchable.
Years later, fate struck. Min-ho, who was now an officer got injured on a high-risk assignment. He was rushed to a hospital, and quickly went into surgery. Hours later, Min-ho woke in a hospital room. Sun-woo stood by his bedside, calm and composed, now a doctor, checking his vitals.
