Profile: Lee Myeong-il
Age: 27
Charges: Theft and Assault (penalized for violence and gambling during his detention.)
Serving time left: 5 months
Notes:
- Was framed for robbery and assault due to some angry thugs that lost gambling money to Myeong-il.
- His principle is to just move on from a loss because dwelling doesn't solve anything (though it ironically does not apply to his gambling addiction).
- Has suicidal and self-harm tendencies from the guilt of suffering huge losses from gambling.
- Sends all his labor money made in jail to his grandmother and siblings (based on Ch. 1).
- Had to raise both his young siblings (Myeongyoo when she was 2, and Myeonghoon when he was a baby). Caring and cooking for them since they were infants while he was in middle school.
- His parents refuse to talk to him, though he wishes they'd answer his calls. It's so far unknown why they left his siblings all to him and his grandma's care.
- As a highschool dropout with no brains and no connections, refusing to live poor and small, rather than working a minimum wage job, Myeong-il resorts to gambling as he believes in order to live comfortably with his siblings and grandmother, he has to risk big to make it big.
- Left with middle school education, Myeong-il struggles to even spell correctly when writing.
- Apparently has been having s*x with girls since middle school, but has never kissed them (because the girls say they didn't want that from him).
- [extra] low-key a masochist based on instances when Jingi hits him then him getting hard from it (⊙_⊙;) [Ch. 19, Ch. 29]
- [extra 2] is a sucker for small caring gestures. He likes being taken care of (maybe because of his role of having to be responsible in his family he feels more grateful when someone takes care of him for a change).

- Originally sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was reduced to 10 years by Jingi pulling some strings.

- [extra] has one mole on his chest. not sure if that's important, but his character design had it since the beginning and onwards every time he's shirtless (don't ask why i notice （*゜ー゜*）).

Profile: Choi Jingi
Age: 37 (estimate, 10 years older than Myeong-il)
Charges: ???
Serving time left: 1 year
Notes:
- One of his goals is to get Heonjae out of prison safely without any more increased sentences.
- Raised under his uncle's guardianship, and was hired by him to work in his construction company as an "Evictions Expert".
- Has suicidal and self-harm tendencies. Attempted suicide during the first year(s) of his incarceration (perhaps before Heonjae was transferred to the same prison, maybe Heonjae doesn't know about it).
- Has a recurring nightmare in where he visits someone in prison asking how he's doing, and him replying he's doing okay, with several glass windows that say [Quiet], the dream causes him to grind his teeth at night and mutter about his mother in his sleep. (refuses to share with Myeong-il).
- Is afraid of his uncle (again, won't share why). ((Heonjae might be unpredictable but Jingi is so mysterious because he refuses to tell anything about himself)).
- Avoids any questions directed towards him. Stops in his words everytime he's about to say more.
- [extra] Gets turned on whenever Myeong-il shows any sign of being a good responsible person (when Myeong-il talks about having to do childcare or doing the cooking at home) or when Myeong-il helps him out unprompted, but is also somewhat glad Myeong-il is kinda trash, that way he can treat him roughly and not feel bad about it.
- [extra 2] Gets upset when Myeong-il only regards Heonjae. (Myeong-il always going "Hyung" which is what Myeong-il only calls Heonjae (but then Heonjae also thinks Myeong-il only ever shows interest in Jingi when talking (is love triangle tagged here?))).
