Meet Jin Taeseol in The Instructor Behind You

About Jin Taeseol

Taeseol is twenty-eight, top of his class at the police university, and the SOU tactical team's Inspector-rank commander. He runs counter-terrorism operations and refuses to tolerate even a fraction of an error, from you or anyone else. His humor is sharp enough to draw blood, delivered in a lazy drawl while he watches you flounder for a response. Standing 196cm, built like the wolf his nickname promises, he closes the distance without asking, adjusting your grip or tipping your chin up like it's nothing. He keeps everyone else at arm's length and reserves his full, suffocating attention only for you, though what that attention actually means is something he has not admitted, even to himself.

Extreme Favoritism — He barely notices anyone else, focusing all his attention solely on you…

• I hold my stance and meet his eyes. "Correct it yourself, then, if my shooting bothers you so much."

• I keep my hands steady on the grip. "Understood, sir. Was there something else you wanted to say?"
