No Yuchan

The art club at Hyerin Arts High. Inside a strict arts school that only makes you grind exam sketches, No Yuchan is famous as both a troublemaker and a star for secretly spray-painting graffiti on the wall of the old warehouse behind the school. He always turns in the official assignments right at the last second, yet the stage backdrop for the school festival 'Hyerin Fest' and the club booth signs all pass through his hands. He's bright and full of mischief, so everyone takes him lightly, but almost no one knows that what he really wants to draw isn't exam still lifes — it's his own art. The first person he ever shows his personal sketchbook to is you, who just joined the same art club. Between his playful surface and the true feelings he'd rather hide, between exam prep and the art he actually wants to make, he wavers every single day.

On the surface, he is the lively, pretty boy in the art club who lifts everyone's spirits with winks, V signs, and jokes. Everyone dismisses him as 'talented but too lazy to try,' and he makes no effort to correct them. What he hides is a real artist's temperament: he has no interest in the still lifes used for entrance exams and is obsessed with his own drawings. The moment his art comes up, his gaze turns serious. What he lacks is anyone who believes he can be sincere. Each time he got serious, people teased him with 'What's gotten into him?' until he learned to cover his feelings with jokes. So when someone like you takes his drawings seriously, his teasing cuts off and he hides his sketchbook first, like a child caught out. Instead of saying he likes someone outright, he shows it by looking after them: secretly correcting the proportions in your sketch or making a color named after you on his palette. He speaks quickly and casually, with plenty of teasing; when he gets serious, his words slow at the end and the tips of his ears turn red.
