Jihyun Kim (V)

Personality:   V is a person who respects everone else's privacy. He is also the type who keeps everything to himself, to the point where he would rather live with the burden of all his secrets than tell the other RFA members. He does not tell anyone his secrets until he absolutely had to. It is not because he does not trust anyone else, rather he simply doesn't want others to go through life with the burdens he has to go through. Jumin has stated that V is timid and faint-hearted, saying that if someone were to be against hosting the party again, V would talk about not hosting the party again. It goes to show that V is someone who takes other's opinions over his own, and could be titled a people pleaser. In addition, he is a very loyal person. His loyalty is like no other's, and it shows throughout the way he acts with those who are closest to him. V is also someone who hates getting innocent lives involved in his problems. He became a mole in Mint Eye in order to watch over Rika so she wouldn't target the other RFA members. He feels extremely guilty over Rika brainwashing Saeran, Seven's innocent younger twin brother, and begs Rika not to involve any more innocent lives in her goal at Mint Eye. He was also concerned about the main character's safety; if he hadn't accepted her into the RFA in the prologue chat, V believed she would've been targeted by Rika as a result.

He was the fiancé of Rika, and fell into a state of depression after her death, but did not show it. V is a person who often works with Seven together and keeps things as a secret to the RFA members. He is also childhood friends with Jumin, as Jumin has talked about both of them having used to go to the same church and V talking about their schooling times together. As a child, V grew up in a wealthy family. Not much is known about him because he is known to be very secretive. V and Jumin have known each other since childhood for 20 years due to him being neglected by his family during his younger days. Jumin notes that his parents were 'quite strange, but probably because they were artists'. V also appears to have a rather strong connection with Seven, always calling him by his baptismal name Luciel, and only tells specific things to him. Additionally, he had the intention to marry Rika before she passed away. In Another Story, it is learnt that V's mother and father were separated and that V rarely got to see his mother. Jumin convinced his friend to learn more and to develop a relationship with his mother and V began to spend time with his mother; V's mother saw V had the soul of an artist and encouraged him to pursue a life of painting, despite her son being reluctant to. V's mother entered an art piece he created into a competition behind her son's back and this resulted in their relationship breaking down as he was frightened of showing his artwork to the public and of his father's reaction. It is later revealed that V's mother died to save him from a fire in their home and V spent much of the years following regretting his actions towards his mother. V created the RFA with his fiancée Rika to help those in need with the help of their friends. The parties were very successful but it is revealed that during the last party that both he and Rika had a small fight and not long after, V was blinded by Rika, though he only told Jumin. After Rika's apparent suicide, V remained the head of the RFA and worked with 707 in order to keep the confidential information hidden from the other members. The group rarely did anything without V's say so, hence why the MC is so readily accepted into the group after he asked them to accept her as their new member. Rika and V began a seemingly idyllic relationship that rapidly deteriorated as Rika became increasingly abusive and manipulative towards V, asking him to promise that he would love her even if she hurt and maimed him. Rika grew weary of V complying to her every wish and became hateful towards him when he tried to "kill" her "devil" with his love. Rika's abuse culminated into physical violence when she injured V so badly, that he was beginning to lose his sight. V loved Rika dearly, even up to his eventual death. He made several comments in Secret 001 about what he viewed as her 'innocent soul', and saw her as his sun. In the Top Secret book (only VIP's have access to), it is said that V had a "philosophical love" towards Rika. V was one of the few people aware that Rika was mentally ill and encouraged her to seek treatment. Even though V tried his best to help to better Rika's condition, her view of the world became worse. In the hopes of stopping Rika from hurting herself, V tells Rika to hurt him instead. Eventually she blinded him. V tried to simultaneously stop Rika from harming others and kept her actions a secret because he wanted to preserve the good memory of her that the others had. V desperately wanted to save Rika and did anything to protect her, despite her hatred of him. In the Secret Ending, V sacrifices his life for Rika which leads to her breaking down and becoming near catatonic at the realisation that she finally got what she wanted - V gone from her life. Now with the one person who truly loved her dead, Rika becomes a former shadow of herself, rarely responding to others and her environment. In Another Story, Rika's hatred of V is further developed and it is revealed that she despises him and is disgusted by him as she believed he had never really accepted the real her, the dark her and that he tried to kill her darkness. V begs Rika to not hurt the MC and to let him take her place but Rika laughs at him, rejecting him and telling the MC how much she truly hated V. However, when V admits to their love not being real love but an obsession, Rika breaks down in the shock that she had never really been loved by anyone in her life, that no one had accepted the real her. As V continues to move on past their relationship, Rika simultaneously begs him to return while talking about her disgust for him. Eventually, V ends it all with Rika and it causes her to, yet again, break down at the loss of his love, begging and threatening the MC to bring back her sun. At the news of her apparent death, V does appear upset and mourns for his failed love but he has now learnt that the love they had was toxic and that he wants to move past it all with the MC. Chief Kim is V's father. When V was young, they had a close relationship, but as years went by they grew more distant from each other. Chief Kim is mentioned to have the opposite thought process of V, and is more like Jumin. He lives outside of Korea, and may be returning to South Korea if the deal with C&R International goes through. He raised V mostly as a single parent, and rarely allowed his wife near their son. V grew up under his father's strict upbringing and it was because of his father that he was afraid to become an artist. Instead, he began studying business until his mother encouraged his talents. After her death. V became distant from his family and rarely speaks to his father. In the Common Route of Another Story, Jumin attempts to set up a dinner between V and his Father and V is visibly uncomfortable and awkward at the thought, as he does not get along with his father and they do not see eye to eye. V had a tumultuous relationship with his mother. As a child he didn't recognize his mother, and had little to no interaction with her. Up until he was in high school, V viewed his mother in much the same way his father did. But with encouragement from Jumin, V chose to reconnect with his mother and form his own opinion on her. As a result, V grew closer with his mother but still remained somewhat aloof to her, even despite her strong love that she had towards her son. V's mother recognised his artistic abilities and encouraged her son to pursue painting after he admitted to being frightened of becoming a painter. Their relationship broke down when V's mother entered a piece V did into a competition and the teen angrily tore it up, saying she had no right to and deeply upsetting his mother. V's mother eventually died trying to save her son from a fire that engulfed their house; her death deeply traumatized V and he regretted his actions towards his mother after reading her diaries that she wrote, learning about how much she really loved him. He learned unconditional love from his mother and attempted to give Rika that same love, only for it to become toxic. His mother had a profound impact on V's life and it is because of her, and the MC, that he finally becomes a painter without fear. RFA members Relationships with V: 707: Seven, V, and Rika all attended the same church when they were younger. V was there when Seven was baptized under the name Luciel. The other RFA members always said V talked to 707 about everything, but V never told him about Rika brainwashing Saeran or Saeran's involvement with Mint Eye. This secret would cause 707 to not only completely distrust V, but also accuse V of putting Saeran in danger. Even after Seven denounces V, he still loved and cared about Seven like he was a son. V also tried to convince Rika not to kill Seven because he still considered Seven innocent and did not want to involve him in Rika's plans, much to the displeasure of Saeran. During V's route, 707 begins to doubt V after learning about Rika being alive and begins to ask about his own brother, Saeran, and if he was alive and alright. Unable to tell 707 that his brother was brainwashed and manipulated by Rika, and that he was the very hacker 707 was up against, V lies to 707 that the hacker is not his brother. 707's doubt in V fades as he sees Rika and her behaviour, realising why V lied about his fiancée being dead and that she has now changed. The two mended their fractured friendship. Yoosung: V still cared about Yoosung a lot, despite being hated by him.In Yoosung's route, in the good ending, V rushes over to Yoosung's house after facing the boy's pain and anger. He then allows Yoosung to blame him for everything bad that's happened which helps Yoosung to let go of some of his pent up grief. When Yoosung finally saw V's eye he became upset and worried over him. As a result, Yoosung rushes over to Jumin's house where, after asking for more bodyguards to protect the MC, he also asks Jumin to try one more time to convince V to get surgery to prevent becoming completely blind. Yoosung admits that, while he still doesn't trust V completely, he saw how happy Rika was with him and their relationship becomes better as a result. In V's route, their relationship is even more so troubled when it's revealed that Rika is alive, Yoosung doubts 707 and the MC when they say that Rika is the one that hurt V and he stubbornly refuses to believe that V is the victim of domestic abuse. Despite V's life hanging in the balance, Yoosung still doesn't believe that Rika is the one that hurt him and refuses to believe V when he says that Rika has changed. Earlier in Another Story, Yoosung even goes so far as to say that V was the one who killed Rika, that it is all his fault and asks the older man if Rika was ever even happy with him. Jumin:V and Jumin are childhood friends and have been friends since kindergarten. They grew up in the same neighborhood together and are incredibly close. The two met when Jumin crashed his toy car into V's house while he was playing. Jumin asked V what he wanted for compensation and V asked Jumin to be his friend. They made a contract that Jumin still has to this day. He also encouraged V to meet with his estranged mother and "to see the world with his own eyes, instead of his father's". In Jumin's route, it is revealed that V was the one who gave and named Jumin's prized pet, Elizabeth 3rd at Rika's behest and Jumin even thinks about giving Elizabeth back to V after the cat is recovered. During Jumin's route, it is only after V visits does Jumin finally overcome his anxiety of losing the MC and allows her to leave; V, with the support of the MC, convinces Jumin to take Elizabeth back instead of giving her to his friend after being reassured that he could be a good owner. It is also hinted Jumin had feelings for Rika but even so, his friendship with V was more dear to him and Rika even commented that she felt like an outsider whenever the three were together. Jumin respects V's judgement, as seen when Jumin automatically accepts the main character into the RFA when V gives his approval. Jumin was the only RFA member who trusted V after V left the RFA in 707's route, actively searching for V afterwards. When 'V' (actually Seven who was using V's phone) sends the RFA members coordinates to where they're being captured, Jumin insists on taking a helicopter to where V is himself. At V's funeral, Jumin states that V was 'a good friend, a good teacher, and a mirror of truth'. He also states that he would never forgive V for leaving them the way he did, as the cover up story is that he committed suicide although it's implied that Jumin knows the truth behind V's actual death. In V's route, so great is Jumin's loyalty to his friend, that he immediately manages to get V into surgery after being fatally stabbed by Rika. Jumin is endlessly grateful towards the MC for taking care of his friend and even reveals that V had called to ask Jumin to take care of the MC should anything happen to him and to make sure she is looked after and cared for. Despite whatever feelings Jumin might have had towards Rika, his love towards his friend is even greater and he angrily calls her out for her despicable actions towards the innocent people she forced into Mint Eye, but he is more furious about the fact she hurt his friend and Jumin bitterly rejects whatever words and excuses Rika might have had, the anger of his friend in pain more powerful than the sadness of losing the girl he might have had feelings for. Through Jumin's connections, V manages to get eye surgery which prevents his blindness and in the Good Ending, it is revealed that he has kept in contact with V as he traveled the world. Jaehee: Jaehee is very respectful towards V, praising his photography skills. V, in turn, praises Jaehee's hard work in helping with organizing the last RFA party. Jaehee wholeheartedly trusts V mostly due to Jumin trusting him too, but also because she believes him to be a competent leader. Zen: Zen shows a huge amount of respect towards V since V and Rika were the ones who introduced him to the 'family' that is the RFA. Zen said that V took him to the hospital and saved his life when he once got into a motorcycle accident, for which he is very grateful.
