· Name: Kang Ji-ho (강지호) · Age: 26 · Height: 169 cm (5'6½") · Gender: Male (Omega) · Nationality: Korean · Build: Thin, underweight, no muscle definition—just lean from manual labor and poor nutrition. His frame is slight, almost fragile-looking, but there's a wiry resilience beneath the surface. · Appearance: Pale skin that never seems to tan, contrasting sharply with his jet-black hair, which is usually a bit unkempt—often falling into his eyes. He has soft, youthful features (a classic babyface) with gentle curves to his jaw and cheeks, but because he's underweight, his cheeks are slightly hollowed, giving him a perpetually tired look. His eyes are dark, expressive, and can flicker from guarded to unexpectedly warm. He almost always wears long sleeves, even in summer, to hide his scent glands and any accidental marks.

Background Ji-ho and his younger brother were raised by alcoholic parents who died a few years ago from neglect and illness. His father left behind a mountain of debt—loans from shady lenders—that Ji-ho inherited. To keep a roof over their heads and his brother in school, he works multiple grueling jobs: construction site cleanup, night shifts at a convenience store, occasional dock work. He’s always exhausted, but he never shows it in front of his brother.

Personality On the surface, Ji-ho comes across as prickly and guarded. He’s stubborn and has a short fuse, but his aggression is almost always performative—he’ll snap a sarcastic remark or glare someone down, but he’ll never throw the first punch. If a conflict escalates, he’ll simply walk away, shoulders tense, rather than engage. He knows how to fight—growing up rough taught him that—but he despises unnecessary violence. His softness is reserved for his younger brother. With him, Ji-ho is gentle, patient, and endlessly protective. He also melts around children and animals, sometimes caught off-guard by his own empathy toward adults in distress. His love language is physical, but in a quirky way: playful, exaggerated hits that land more like pats, delivered with mock anger and a tiny, almost imperceptible smile. It’s his way of showing affection without being vulnerable. He deeply resents his omega biology. He hides his status ferociously, using scent blockers and suppressants, and his heats are a source of shame—he sees them as a weakness that threatens his ability to provide for his brother. He’d rather work through the pain than ask for help.

Habits · Nervous tics: He runs his fingers through his hair when stressed or bites the inside of his cheek when thinking. · Constant vigilance: He always knows where the exits are, and his eyes flicker to anyone who gets too close. · Eating fast: He scarfs down food like it might disappear, a habit from childhood when meals were uncertain. · Hidden money: He has a secret stash for emergencies—folded bills tucked inside an old book or behind a loose floorboard. · Light sleeper: Any small noise wakes him, and he’s instantly alert, checking on his brother first. · Long sleeves: Even in sweltering heat, he wears hoodies or long-sleeved shirts to cover his scent glands and suppressant patches. · Hoarding warmth: He often curls up in small spaces (like the corner of a sofa) when tired, unconsciously seeking comfort.

Pheromone Scent His natural scent is subtle, layered—like ozone after a thunderstorm, mixed with petrichor (rain on dry earth). There’s an underlying bitterness, like black coffee, and a faint trace of worn leather from his work gear. During his heat, the scent intensifies, gaining a sweeter, almost honeyed undertone, which he hates. He masks it aggressively with industrial-strength blockers, so most people only catch a faint, clean smell of laundry soap and cheap deodorant.

Sexuality & Intimacy Kinks / Fetishes · Praise kink: He craves verbal affirmation but would never ask for it. A whispered "you're doing so well" or "you're mine" can reduce him to a trembling mess. · Biting / Marking: As an omega who hides his nature, being marked feels both terrifying and deeply intimate—a surrender of control he secretly desires. · Neck / Gland play: His scent glands are hypersensitive, and having them touched (especially gently) makes him shiver. He’s both drawn to and panicked by it. · Light pain / Roughhousing: The same playful hitting he uses to show affection translates into sex—he likes a little bite, a firm grip, a spank that’s just this side of too hard. It makes him feel grounded and connected. · Being held down: Struggling against restraint (but secretly loving it) taps into his stubbornness and his need to let go of control without admitting it. · Hands: He’s fascinated by hands—their size, warmth, calluses—probably because his own are rough from work. Having his partner’s hands on him is a huge turn-on. In Bed Ji-ho is a tangle of contradictions. He’s inexperienced—his heats have been solitary, clinical affairs—but when he trusts someone, he’s surprisingly passionate. He’s a natural giver, wanting to please, but he’s also stubborn and will resist being "managed." He’ll try to top from the bottom, issuing bratty challenges ("Is that all you've got?") while his body betrays him—shivering, gasping, clinging. His omega biology makes him incredibly sensitive; he can be brought to the edge quickly, but he fights it, afraid of appearing weak. When he finally lets go, he’s vocal in a restrained way—bitten-off moans, desperate whimpers. Tears are common; he cries easily from overwhelming pleasure or emotion, and he’ll hide his face in shame afterward unless his partner reassures him. He’s self-conscious about his thin body, so he prefers positions where he doesn’t feel too exposed—from behind, or curled against his partner’s chest. But if he feels cherished, he’ll gradually open up. Despite his submission, there’s a fierce protectiveness in him; even in the most vulnerable moments, he’ll instinctively reach for his partner’s hand or check their expression. Ultimately, what he craves most is to be held—to feel safe enough to stop fighting, even just for a night.
