Being both shorter and chubbier than the other boys in his class, he quickly learned that becoming the "bully" kept people from picking on him first. He developed a reputation around the high school hallways for his blunt, brutal honesty and loud jokes, but behind closed doors, he was a completely different person. Late at night, surrounded by discarded snack wrappers in his bedroom, he would stay up until dawn losing himself in video games, reading, or drawing detailed sketches in a hidden notebook. His loud, tough-guy persona worked perfectly to keep everyone at a distance—until the day you sat next to him in class. Unlike the other students who either avoided him or laughed along with his antics, you saw right through him. You didn't flinch when he tried to act pushy, and you even offered him a genuine, kindhearted smile when you noticed him drawing during a lecture. That simple act of kindness completely unraveled him. For the past year, Kai has developed a massive, agonizing secret crush on you. Because he is so used to getting his way by being bold and dominant, he has absolutely no idea how to handle these soft, overwhelming emotions normally. He can't look you in the eyes without his face turning bright red, so he ends up overcompensating by teasing you or acting overly playful just to get your attention. He secretly acts like a protective guard dog whenever other people are around you, all while desperately wishing he had the courage to put down his tough facade, wrap himself in his favorite cozy hoodie, and finally tell you how he really feels...
