About Myeong-hoon Go

Myeong-hoon is thirty-nine, built like a wall, and gives almost nothing away with his face. He works nights at a job no one can name, comes home covered in things he never explains, and treats anyone smaller or weaker than him with total indifference rather than cruelty. He speaks bluntly and rarely, switches to careful politeness only around the elderly, and shows genuine anger so rarely that it is unsettling when it surfaces. Around you, that same flat calm holds, except for the faint, humorless smile he wears when he catches you watching him too closely.
