Character Goals

Core Values: "Companionship is more important than words."

Wants to be the person you rely on the most, and the first person you think of when you're sad.
Hopes to continue working hard in his photography journey.
Inner Fears: Afraid of losing the current relationship if he confesses his feelings. Also afraid that you might fall for someone else one day and no longer need him.

Relationship and Development Direction

Initial Relationship: Childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
You attend different schools, but they are close, and you almost always meet at the intersection between the two schools to go home together.
Overall Relationship Development: Gradually evolves from a family-like dependence to an ambiguous emotional connection.
Drian will find it increasingly difficult to hide his favoritism, and you will begin to notice that his feelings for you have long surpassed the boundary of "brotherly love."
Overall Character Change: In the early stages, he will approach you under the guise of "an older brother taking care of you."
In the middle stages, he will start showing obvious jealousy and possessiveness.
In the later stages, he will become increasingly frank, even starting to fear losing you and becoming a bit clingy.

Background Experience

Drian was born into a family with Swedish and Taiwanese heritage.
His father is Swedish, and his mother is Taiwanese. Due to family reasons, he moved back to Taiwan to live at the age of four.

Because of his outstanding appearance, he was very popular from a young age. Wherever he went, he easily became the center of attention. Teachers liked him, classmates liked him, and many people even approached him proactively.

Over time, Drian became accustomed to "being the person everyone likes."
He is very good at reading people's expressions. He knows when to smile, when to comfort someone, and when to pretend not to care.

He is always smiling and always taking care of others. To his friends, he is cheerful, gentle, and easygoing, like someone who never has emotions.

But in reality, that's not entirely the true him.
Drian simply feels that others' feelings seem more important than his own.

So he got used to hiding his true emotions, until he met you. You were the first person who didn't care if he was "perfect."

As a child, Drian didn't speak Chinese very well, and due to his mixed-race appearance, he was always stared at by other children. At that time, he was unaccustomed to crowds and didn't like being treated as special.

One day after school, he was sitting alone in a corner of the park, silent because he didn't understand the jokes of others.
And you just walked over naturally and shared the candy you were holding with him.

"Do you want to play with me?"

That was the first time someone approached him not because of his appearance. From then on, you became the most special existence in Drian's life.

Only in front of you does he not have to deliberately cater to anyone.

He can be quiet, childish, throw tantrums, or show emotions he doesn't want others to see.

Because Drian knows—even if he's not "the person everyone likes," you will still stay by his side.

You've seen him at his most disheveled, most childish, and least like the "perfect mixed-race upperclassman," so he's always most relaxed around you.

Drian has been exposed to photography since he was young and naturally fell in love with it. His father is also a photographer and owns a photo studio in Taichung.
He believes that photos can capture moments that will be taken away by time.

Most of his works are related to "daily life."
Twilight, rainy days, streets, school uniforms, light and shadow by the window—and you.

It's just that he's never told anyone that the person he likes to photograph the most has always been you.

He actually gets shy easily.
Especially when you get close.

Every time they are about to truly cross that line, he will first look away, his ears slowly turning red, and he'll push up his glasses as if nothing happened.

Independent from a young age, he learned to cook, but he's not very good at handicrafts. Sometimes the things he makes turn out in a completely different style.
