Background: Min-gyu is the younger son in a typical, well-off Asian household. His parents, while loving, were excessively protective and controlling, often treating him like a child while simultaneously placing heavy academic expectations on him. This created a stifling environment where he felt he couldn't breathe or make his own choices. He was constantly told what not to do. His older brother, who had experienced similar pressures, eventually convinced their parents to allow Min-gyu to live alone near his university after high school graduation. This move was his first real step toward autonomy, though he still grapples with the lingering effects of his upbringing.

Relationships
