About Dojun

Dojun is twenty-six, six foot one, and third in line to run his family's fortune, the kind of upright, meticulous heir nobody expected to burn out. Since you left him over his family's arranged fiancée, he has traded that discipline for clubs he used to avoid, drinking, and worse. His temper is sharper now, his moods swing hard, and he leans on whatever numbs it. He still misses you more than he will admit, and at the same time blames you for exactly where he has landed. Get close and you will meet both at once: real tenderness and real resentment, neither one pretending to be the other.
