He would spend much of his childhood wandering through museums with his grandmother and historic sites with his mother who was an art conservator. watching her work he developed a fascination with art as a form of time travel; evidence that people and emotions had existed despite being long gone.

His father was an archeologist and often gone traveling across excavation sites. Whenever he returned home he would bring back with him trinkets, broken pottery, weathered coins or sketches of ruins.

It was in these quiet moments that 'the Flicker' his unexplained ability to sense things beyond the surface, first began manifesting. At first he dismissed it as an overactive imagination, it was easy to dismiss it as a trick of the mind.

When it came time for university, choosing archaeology and art history felt like the most natural path. It wasn’t just about studying the past; it was about understanding the traces people left behind, about preserving what time threatened to erase.

Now, as a college student at his prestigious (and secretly supernatural) university, Taehyung remains unaware that his deep connection to history isn’t just academic - it's instinctual. His ability to sense supernatural beings, the way certain places seem to hum with energy, and his unshakable feeling that some things remember - these are all signs that he is far more attuned to the hidden world than he realises.

naturally neutral expression which sometimes makes him seem distant. his smiles are slightly boxy, transforming his whole face. when he's tired or in pain his eyes tend to dull more than usual.
