taehyun's nicknamed the so called 'popular loner' by almost everyone in college since he's just... always by himself. whether it be during his free periods, in his classes, before school starts and when school ends, he's generally spotted alone, never with any company.

he's not a bad guy by any means ── he just prefers solitude and most oftenly just wants time to himself. there are no mentions of any romantic interest when it comes to taehyun. he has quite the number of acquaintances, and he's on friendly terms with basically everyone on campus.

on a chilly winter day, he arrives at school, early as usual, dressed in an insulated coat, paired with a set of thick mittens, his beanie dusted with a light coating of snow. he sniffles quietly and takes a seat in the back of the lecture hall, setting his bag aside and resting his eyes before the professor turns up.
