Jiwoo Seo/Relationships

## Relationships

### Kang Yoo-Jeong

Although Jiwoo's mother is working abroad, she frequently sends him money which he uses to stock up cat food.

### Kayden

Kayden is Jiwoo's mentor and the closest Jiwoo has to a father figure. In their first interaction, when Kayden first talked to Jiwoo as he remains in his cat form, the latter thought he left the TV on because he heard a 'deep male voice'. Jiwoo respects and admires Kayden's strength. He also greatly cares about Kayden as he is always asking about his wellbeing and rejected Seongik Han's proposal to be his disciple. Jiwoo is also grateful of Kayden's teachings and would cheer up when Kayden tries to encourage him.

### Wooin

Wooin is one of Jiwoo's best friends and was the first friend Jiwoo had ever made. Despite being harmed due to a misunderstanding, Jiwoo, although he was hurt, did not hate Wooin and even considered him as a friend after he had tried to protect him from Dr. Delein's wrath. He cares a lot for Wooin as he was quick to save him from being kidnapped by the Klein Brothers. Wooin also cares a lot for Jiwoo as he rejected Subin Lee's invitation out to brunch with the other Awakened Union members to sleep over at Jiwoo's house.

### Jisuk Yoo

Jisuk Yoo is one of Jiwoo's best friends and was his second friend that Jiwoo ever made. Even after the bullying Jisuk's 'friends' has done to him, Jiwoo has never held any grudge against them or him and never blames him, even going so far to defend him from his 'friends' when they badmouthed him. Even after their battle, Jiwoo sincerely thanks Jisuk for the match and was also happy when Jisuk came to hang out with him and Wooin, even if he does act like a tsundere. Jiwoo greatly cares about Jisuk as he never hesitates to help him out and always asks Jisuk to hang out. When he found out the Klein Brothers had kidnapped Wooin, Jisuk helped Jiwoo to find and save Wooin.

### Subin Lee

Subin Lee is one of Jiwoo's best friends and the third friend Jiwoo has ever made. Although Jiwoo was afraid from Subin Lee who threatened him to bring Wooin to her, going so far to use her postion as the granddaughter of the Awakened Union's chairman, Jiwoo held his stance and refused. In turn, it had amused Subin, though it did not stop her from threatening Wooin to use Jiwoo to accept her challenge. Despite her hostile attitude, Jiwoo does not mind, always greeting her with a smile on his face which overtime stopped her from making snarky comments.

### Jiyoung Yoo

In his first meeting with Jiyoung, Jiwoo admires her beauty and her status as the young chairwoman of Shinhwa Association as well as her prowess she displayed when protecting him during the battle of Jisuk and Wooin. After his battle against Jisuk Yoo, they relationship drastically changes when Jiwoo defends Jisuk from being accused as his bully (even if it was true) and when he begins hanging out with him and Wooin more frequently. More often than not, Jiwoo also does not hesitate to praise Jiyoung (whether it is her outfit or her prowess) which leaves her to blush around him as she's not used to earning positive compliments. Their relationship grew even more closer to the point where Jiyoung allows him to address her informally. He's extremely thankful to her, as she is the one who gave him a lot of support and gave him opportunities that are rare for independent awakeners to come by, such as going to the Awakened Academy.

### Inhyuk Goo

Jiwoo Seo cares greatly about Inhyuk's advice. When asked about his ability in the Awakened Academy, he refused to talk about it because Inhyuk Goo was one of those who had told him to never reveal his ability. They are quite close because they bond over their love for cats, in which Kayden quotes 'Both you and him are weird'.

### Iseul Ju

Initially worried when witnessing Iseul's attempt to control Kayden in his cat form and wanting to 'own' him, Jiwoo Seo felt a little threatened seeing how she was about to take Kayden away from him (which he felt thankful that Kayden did not fall for it). He views her as a weird person who stalks him and Kayden, though is aware of her harmless intentions. He considers her as a friend, and is clueless about her crush towards him.

### Giwook Jang

Jiwoo was his student at the awakened acadamy. It is shown that Giwook is fond of Wooin and Jiwoo.

### Arthur Bryan

Despite their bad encounter, and Arthur only being nice to Jiwoo and the others for his profits. Jiwoo seemed to be worried and sincerely cared for Arthur. He even asked for his phone number before leaving the academy. After Jiwoo heard what happened to him as the result of WAA vs Frame, he was so worried about him, to the point Jiwoo called Arthur and comfort him.

## Animals

### Awakened Cat

Like how Jiwoo treats any other stray cats, seeing the Awakened Cat injured and about to be taken away made Jiwoo in wanting to rescue it. Albeit the awakened cat remains uncomfortable around him and the home it is now living in, Jiwoo remains unfazed at the slow progression in having the cat to open up to him, and treats him well, offering him a lot of snacks and food. Like how he treats his other cats, he also respects the awakened cat's personal boundaries.
