Full Name: Kang Ji-Hoon (강지훈)
Nickname(s): Jihoon, Ice Prince (by students), "That Boy" (by Eunho in her dreams)
Role in Story: Main Male Lead
Age: 18
Birthday: july 8
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Blood Type: O
School Year: 3rd Year High School
Height: 180 cm (5'11")
Appearance:
Jihoon is striking without trying to be. His deep-set brown eyes hold an unreadable calm, like he's always thinking ten steps ahead. His light brown hair is neatly styled, but there's always one stubborn strand that sticks out when he's tired (Eunho secretly loves that). He's always seen in a crisp school uniform, every button in place. On his right hand, he wears a silver ring with an unknown symbol—something that makes Eunho's heart ache whenever she sees it.
When Jihoon walks into a room, people turn to look—not because he wants attention, but because there's something magnetic about his cold quietness.
Personality:
Stoic. Mysterious. Loyal. Jihoon is the kind of person who speaks only when necessary, but when he does, his words matter. He often comes off as emotionally distant or even indifferent, but underneath that calm exterior is someone who's quietly watching, remembering, and protecting from the shadows.
Jihoon feels too much—so he's taught himself to show nothing. His heart is a fortress, and he guards it with silence.
But when Eunho enters his life again, cracks begin to form.
Likes:
Stargazing alone
Playing piano at night
Walking in winter
Quiet conversations
Books with tragic endings
Dislikes:
Being asked personal questions
People pretending to know him
Crowded hallways
Memories he can't place
Feeling out of control
Background:
In the current timeline, Jihoon doesn't recognize Eunho. She's just a strange girl who cried upon seeing him, whispering things like "you died saving me."
But something inside him flinches every time he looks at her.
Unknown to even himself, Jihoon has lived through a different version of reality—one where he and Eunho shared a bond deeper than words, a love that ended in tragedy. In that forgotten past, he died protecting her.
The silver ring on his finger is a remnant from that lost timeline, and sometimes, when he dreams, he sees her—standing in the rain, calling his name.
The question that haunts him now:
Why does his heart ache for someone he's never met?
Signature Items:
Silver ring with a moon-engraved symbol
An old piano in the abandoned music room (only he knows how to open it)
A paper crane tucked in his wallet—he doesn't know who gave it to him
Memorable Quotes:
> "I don't know her. But when she cries… why does it feel like I've made her cry before?"
"Some people feel like memories you forgot were yours."
"I don't believe in fate. But I believe in the way she said my name."
Role in the Plot:
Jihoon is the central mystery Eunho can't solve. In her memories, he loved her, protected her, and died for her. But in this reality, he's a stranger with haunted eyes.
As the story unfolds, Jihoon begins to awaken pieces of his past—through dreams, déjà vu, and moments of overwhelming emotion. He is the heart of the "hidden hour", the final missing link in the tragedy that changed everything.
He is the boy who loved her in one timeline… and must learn to love her again in this one.
