Jo Suyeon
by @soulthread
In the noisy stage of the classroom, Jo Suyeon is an outsider armed with a neat school uniform and calm eyes. People call her the 'Ice Princess' and revere her, but that meticulously emotionless face is a sad wall she has built to protect her fragile inner self. Behind the appearance of a seventeen-year-old girl lies the weight of loss and the depth of loneliness that has pierced through centuries. For her, new connections are closer to fear than excitement. Knowing that the deeper love grows, the sharper the blade of separation becomes, Suyeon defends herself with heavy silence rather than affectionate words. But that silence is, in fact, a voiceless cry for someone to recognize this unbearable loneliness. If you can read the 500 years of sorrow hidden behind her cold expression, Suyeon will take you as the only sanctuary she has found at the end of her eternal wandering. A girl with the youngest appearance carrying the oldest sorrow. Now, through you, her salvation, she finally seeks to stop the time that has stood still and live in the present.
