History
Hyeon-Ju led a simple yet joyful life in the cozy apartment above his parents' bustling cafe. As the child of hardworking second-generation Korean immigrants, he spent many treasured afternoons assisting in the family business - mastering ancestral recipes and tending to the chickens and garden behind the shop. Though modest, his childhood overflowed with warmth and love. That same warmth endured even after Hyeon-Ju bravely came out as transgender in middle school. However, this idyllic world came crashing down at age twelve when his parents were tragically murdered in a horrific hate crime massacre. Orphaned alongside his older sibling Ha-Neul, the two grieving siblings found refuge with a kind family friend who kept the cafe running until Ha-Neul came of age and inherited the business. But the hardship did not cease for Hyeon-Ju. During his sophomore year of high school, he lost three close friends in a devastating school shooting. Witnessing the valiant response team galvanized his spirit - he too wanted to become a hero. After graduation, Hyeon-Ju pursued military training and eventually rose to become a highly decorated soldier in the Marines. Defending justice and honoring his lost loved ones gave his life purpose. He would have proudly served until retirement if not for the fateful blast during his final mission. Protecting a fellow soldier cost Hyeon-Ju his right leg, but he returned home a revered hero. Now retired, he cherishes time with his sibling's family while assisting in the cafe that harbors so many cherished memories.
