Background: Geonhak was supposed to be one of those kids who had an easy life growing up. His parents made more than enough money to support their family and lifestyle including having two sons. Geonhak couldn't remember a time when his brother wasn't there in his life, but he knew there was a time. Gunhee was younger than him by three years but that never bothered Geonhak. He looked after his brother while his parents worked, played together as they got older and helped in any way he could. His family was his whole world when he was young, which unfortunately got him teased a lot at school. Often called a 'mama's boy' and the sort. Not that it bothered him once again, he kept his head down and focused on his school work. No one dared to actually try and rough him up, so he could ignore the comments. He was still young when his parents pushed him towards a sport, but gave him the freedom to choose himself. It had taken only a few months for him to decide what he wanted to try. Gymnastics.
The Olympics had been on around the time he turned 7, and around the time his parents began to push him to do something more than just his schooling, and Geonhak instantly found himself drawn to the Gymnasts. Their strength and grace were what had drawn him in, and though his parents were a little worried about the idea why happily enrolled him. Geonhak had taken to the sport as if he were a fish placed in water. He practised often and picked up new skills easily. He trained hard to work up his strength and flexibility and never feared a new skill when it was time to learn it. Unfortunately, his sport of choice had done nothing to help his social image at school. As he got older the teasing got worse and worse with some of the 'bigger' kids no longer afraid to take it out on him physically. Still, Geonhak did not mind. Even when his brother started to distance himself a little, Geonhak continued on. He had a new dream, a new passion.
By the time 2012 rolled around Geonhak was well on his way to making the Olympic team, a dream come true for him. The teasing had died down a lot as people realised just what that meant, and he was hardly at school anyway, constantly training and really only coming in to do exams or pick up what work he needed to do. The school were more than happy to support him through the Olympic season and Geonhak was more than ready to face the challenge. But of course, good things didn't come to good people who worked hard. Geonhak was announced on the team, he was training, in the best condition of his life and more than ready to go for gold. 2 days before he was set to leave for London his hand slipped on a vault and he slipped off breaking both his collarbone and tearing his ACL. Though Geonhak knew just how much damage he had done he attempted to simply stand and walk it off, an impossible task.
There was little chance for a comeback for Geonhak after that, the damage he had done would take a long time to heal and would likely be a problem for him for the rest of his life. For the first time, Geonhak had no drive to continue in his life. His parents, brother, and even the kids at school didn't know what they could do. No one anymore, no one really spoke to him for fear of the reaction they would get. For 2 years Geonhak continued to drift through his life, oblivious to everything around him, unwilling to even try and make things better. Until he met Seoho. The weird kid that always seemed just a little off to everyone else. Geonhak was sure he had seen him taking to himself more than once. He'd seen Seoho around before, not too often but he knew about him, something was different now though. Whatever had changed sparked something in Geonhak and pushed him to find out more, or just make a change in his life.
He started watching the other when he could, and started training his injuries once more to strengthen his body. He was never going to be at the level he had been previously but he found his passion for it once more. As time passed and Geonhak got more confident he began following Seoho more often and further. Until he finally followed him into the east, instantly getting distracted by the difference between worlds and losing sight of Seoho and really anyone. Unwilling to turn back empty handed he continued into the streets further, doing his best to avoid people. Only people didn't want to avoid him. He'd spent barely 10 minutes walking through the streets before he had a knife to his throat, one to his back and a group of people around him asking him for everything. Of course, Geonhak gave up everything he had on him, apparently, it hadn't been enough, or more this group had realised he was worth more as a ransom or something.
Geonhak never found out where he had been taken, how long he'd been held, or really what had happened. He remembered fragments or memories and a lot of pain, but not a lot of anything else. The only thing that stood out in his memories was the image of Seoho burnt into his mind as he lay on the ground in pain, looking up at the other male. From there he remembers then waking in the hospital with his family around him. Geonhak could vaguely remember Gunhee saying something about noticing his obsession with Seoho so he'd approached the other for help. Geonhak doesn't know what happened but from that moment on he swore to stand by Seoho no matter what happened. Once he was released from the hospital and had made it clear to Seoho that he was on his side, Geonhak started living once again. He found his passion once more, working on his aerial skills, strength and just about everything else and getting himself a place in a Cirque crew. He now travels with them, often returning to help with stunts in movies, or helping to teach those on stage that might need it. All while making sure to stick close to Seoho to keep him alive.

Character's darkest secret: One of the first times he'd followed Seoho (Angel) on a job he'd noticed another person also watching the other. When he realised that this other person meant to do harm to Seoho Geonhak did everything he could to try and get the other male's attention, to warn him. Nothing seemed to work so Geonhak did the only thing he could think of. He dealt with it himself. He grabbed a decent-sized rock and began smashing the guy over the head just constantly driving the rock into his skull well after he was dead, simply out of fear that he wouldn't be able to safe Seoho if he didn't. In the end, he'd reduced the mans head to nothing more than a bloody mass of destroyed flesh.
Does anyone else know: Seoho knows, he'd been the one to find Geonhak after everything and help to calm him back down. As far as Geonhak knows, Seoho dealt with everything so no one would know he had killed someone.

Seoho and Angel: Geonhak still doesn't know what to make of Seoho and Angel. He knows both sides, somewhat well. It can take him time to work out which is which sometimes as they hide it rather well but he's getting better. Seoho is a person that Geonhak wants to protect, to keep him safe no matter what. Angel is the person Geonhak wants to put through a wall for constantly getting Seoho in dangerous situations. Geonhak is more timid around Seoho and more aggressive around Angel, almost like he has his own split personality.
