Kim Hajin/Relationship

## Creator's Sacred Grace

### Kim Suho

Kim Suho was rather wary at first, especially after Kim Hajin's harsh and strong suggestions for Chae Nayun to give up her bow and using the sword along with Hajin's insensitively mentioned Chae Jinyoon in front of Chae Nayun. Their relationship improved after Kim Hajin helped Kim Suho conquered a hidden dungeon and discovered the God-slaying branch "Misteltein". Eventually they became good friends during their time at Cube and their trust in each other improved immensely after graduating/leaving from Cube. Kim Hajin would and will go out of his way to make Suho stronger whenever the chance comes, causing Suho's trust and debt in Hajin to grow everlastingly. Kim Hajin sees Suho as a great ally due to his high potential in the novel as a main character and Kim Suho sees Kim Hajin as someone stronger than him and a reliable ally who will take care everything behind his back. Some would argue that their relationship is a little too close.

### Yun Seung-Ah

At first Yun Seung-Ah was interested in Kim Hajin for his hidden strength. Hajin's relationship with Yun Seung-Ah was indifferent even after being scouted personally by her during his Cube days. Only after leaving Cube did Hajin's relationship with Yun Seung-Ah improve when 'both' their nieces became friends. After discovering Yun Seung-Ah's financial situation after the fall of Creator's Sacred Grace's guild, Hajin bought her house above the fixed price and renting it to Yun Seung-Ah along with her family for free in exchange for taking care of his 'niece' while he was away. Yun Seung-Ah was very thankful to Kim Hajin for supporting her while she was at a crossroad and their relationship together improved steadily from there on a professional level.

## Royal Court

### Rachel

Hajin sees Rachel as someone important to keep the main story going and has repeatedly gone out of his way to protect her or accelerate her growth. Rachel didn't pay any attention to Kim Hajin at first, but after Kim Hajin was placed first in the theory exam and putting her in second, Rachel began to acknowledge him and texting him question that she had difficulty to answer. It was because of Kim Hajin, that Rachel discovered her talent as an Elementalist which was a unique power that rarely possessed by a hero on Earth. As someone in the royal family, Rachel tended to speak formally with dignity but as her relationship with Hajin getting closer, she revealed her cheery side with Hajin through text by using emoticons to express herself. She has romantic feelings for Hajin, though she kept it to herself.

## Essence of Strait

### Yoo Yeonha

Hostility and distrust was what Yoo Yeonha felt for Kim Hajin when they first met in Cube due to his choice of weapon and casual attitude towards Yeonha. Overtime, Hajin gained Yeonha's trust and gratitude while at Cube by not only by giving her key informations needed by her guild, Essence of Strait, but also saving her life from a Djinn. Yeonha started making over the top and wacky theories about Hajin's power and background due to many coincidences probably due to Hajin's high luck stat. After leaving Cube, Hajin's relationship with Yeonha only grew as he continuously invested greatly in Essence of Strait's numerous programs and departments along with his advice for future investments that led her became the Queen of Seoul. Yeonha not only felt indebted to Hajin but also guilt and sadness for what her father's actions against Hajin's family in the past.

After theorizing that Hajin could be a returner, she started thinking about how the relationship between the two of them could have been in his "past life", since Hajin knew her secret for loving junk food. Yeonha eventually moved on from her initial crush on Shin Jonghak and developed romantic feelings for Kim Hajin.

### Chae Nayun

Chae Nayun's first impression of Hajin was not so good yet not so bad either due to his average looks and choice of weapon. As Hajin had chosen a gun for his main weapon, Nayun assumed that Hajin either wanted attention or gave up on Cube. Her attitude towards Hajin only became hostile after he casually mentioned her older brother would come and consoled her, in fact Kim Hajin didn't know that Chae Jinyoon who was in a coma for 5 years after sustaining a critical injury during a battle that involved Djinns due to the co-author changes in Hajin's initial story setting. She was also the reason Hajin was severely bullied and harassed by Shin Jonghak's lackeys although it wasn't her intention at first and Kim Hajin's barely put any mind to it. After discovering Hajin's background and the harassment he faced from his bullies, Nayun felt guilty and remorseful towards him. After some coincidences and misunderstandings (likely due to Hajin's high luck stat), Nayun fell in love with Hajin to which he tried to not reciprocate her feelings. Kim Hajin felt that he didn't belong in the world Nayun lives in and he didn't want to hurt Nayun any further, knowing that Nayun would be devastated when she discovered her brother's death after their short reunion. Yoo Jinhyuk who was entrusted to investigate Chae Jinyoon's murder, with his gift he managed to get a clue about the murderer. A strange tattoo that was actually Hajin's Stigma on his upper arm. Eventually Nayun managed to find out that Hajin killed her brother after she saw Kim Hajin's Stigma shone brightly through his clothes when he was creating a barrier to fend off a provoked Azure Dragon's magic breath directed to both of them. She hated him without knowing the reason behind the murder since Kim Hajin decided to take the blame and her father Chae Shinhyuk disclosed the truth from her and the public. After her meeting with Kim Hajin in the Tower of Wish, Chae Nayun decided to do a thorough investigation about her brother's death, she went to Himalaya Mountain where she found her new mentor Heynckes a member of the 9-stars and led her to Kim Joongho, a forensic pathologist who was forced to hide in the mountain by Chae Joochul and kept Chae Jinyoon's corpse with him. In there, Nayun discovered the truth that Chae Jinyoon was turning into a demon before his death from his devilized right arm.

## Chameleon Troupe Members

### Boss

Despite her title, Hajin was essentially her boss. He pampered her a lot at first from his guilty conscience for creating her background story but eventually Hajin found himself enjoying her reactions whenever he was spoiling her. Similar to Yeonha, she felt responsible for killing Hajin's parents (actually Kim Chundong's parents) and decided to put him on the orphanage instead of killing him when he was a baby. A lot of time she was flustered by Hajin's constant seemingly unintended romantic gestures. At first Boss saw Kim Hajin as a perfect tool to avenge the death of the former Boss in Chameleon Troupe. As they spent time together, both of them became close enough for Boss to trust him and reveal her name to him.

### Jain

An amicable relationship as Hajin often appeals to her greed with his various plans. She was the reason why Chae Nayun found out about Kim Hajin killing her brother.
