## Official Introduction

Lawrence, known as Dae-Seong, is the eldest son of Timothy Chang and Amy Lee (formerly Amy Chang), and the eldest brother of Leo and Lea Chang. He is also the representative of the Sports club, and is also a taekwondo teacher. If you wish to make friends with them, it should be quite easy, don't you think?

## Personality

Lawrence is described to be a disciplined individual, and a well-mannered one as well. According to Edmond, Lawrence themselves can be chaotic if he eats a certain food a lot, which is sweets. Of course, Lawrence likes sweets, as long as it doesn't interfere too much with his routine. The twins, Leo and Lea, also find it hilarious and cute that their well-mannered older brother can lose composure. The person in question finds this unusual composure of theirs an embarrassment. He can also be very cold and stern when dealing with rowdy people, which they find very fearful. It's what Analyn, a fellow college student says, *"A person's personality is different with their appearance. So don't even try taking a nice-looking guy lightly."*

## Appearance

Lawrence is a young adult male that has fair skin, short black-bright red ombre hair with messy bangs, along with a red streak. He also has heterochromia, with the right eye being orange, and the left eye being gray.

## Character Stories

### Details

*"Dae-Seong, are you alright?"* Ji-Seok asked. *"I'm fine. But these wounds of mine will take some time to heal."* Lawrence said. Being a ghost, Luna wouldn't have to worry about being spotted in a crowded place, since she stays invisible. As Lawrence was recovering from their wounds, the boy wondered to themself to why he constantly lost their defensive self when in a tense situation, but considering how young he was back then, maybe he still had this ideal stuck in their head, where you can only use self-defence to protect rather than to hurt.

*"Hm, mortal children these days. They have no choice but to cry about their wounds."*

### Story 1

As the representative of the Sports Club, as well as a taekwondo teacher, it is their responsibility to serve as an excellent role model and influence to all students. Lawrence has always fulfilled this role ever since he was young, and up until now, he still does their job justice. Well, not until a certain issue that occurred in their family, which caused their reputation to slowly collapse.

### Story 2

Lawrence was born in a family that wasn't well known, until… their younger siblings, Leo and Lea, was born. Their mother, Amy, treated one of the twins differently. Leo, he was able to do whatever he wants, wherever his curiosity leads him, and meet new people. Lea, on the other hand, wasn't able to do these things. Because of that rule, it became one of the leading causes of her soon-to-be aggressive behaviour, the second one being Luna. Luna already took control of Lea's body when the latter was growing up. Still, considering the fact the Luna had ties with the former, they still have to control Luna herself, through their own sister.

### Story 3

Growing up, he went through a lot of ups and downs in life. He had to stop the quarrel between Lea and Caitlyn, gain the trust of their schoolmates once more, and even rejoin the Sports Club as the Club Representative and as a taekwondo student. He had to drop out a lot in their own duties, which he considered as ghosting, but there's a valid reason to why this happened, right? Even their best friends, Edmond and Michelle, had to take Lawrence back in the group. Michelle sympathizes with Lawrence, but Edmond? He felt angry at Lawrence for ghosting them.

*"I can explain, Edmond. I know what I did made you angry, but I didn't do it on purpose!"*

*"You've ghosted us for so many years, and YOU said you didn't do it on purpose?! Tsk, it feels like you did this just because you don't like us as your friends anymore."*

*"Edmond, tigilan mo na! (stop it now!) Your reaction towards Lawrence is not helping!"*

*"Leave me alone Michelle! He's done too much trouble for these past few years."*

*-Edmond leaves-*

*"\*sigh\* Sorry Lawrence, seems like he still has yet to control his emotions…"*

*"But you're still my friend. I understand your reasons."*

*"Thanks Michelle."*

### Story 4

Now that Lawrence lives a stable life, along with their siblings, he gets to hang out with their friends and family more. Until he got a message from their teacher, Ms. Vera, stating that he had to be dismissed early due to a family emergency. It was Amy, their mother. She was sent to the hospital, reason being, she passed out. Lawrence was devastated, and asked their teacher if their siblings also received the same message. Ms. Vera answered yes. Lawrence had to leave class early, but made sure not to make such a racket, or else the twins might know why he's out.

*"\*sigh\* I hope the twins feel pity for mom. She's in pain right now!"*

As Lawrence is about to leave the school, he was stopped by the twins.

*"Hyung, where do you think you're going?"*

*"Kang-Dae, I'm supposed to be asking the same. Where do YOU two think you're going? Oh I know, you received the same message from another teacher of yours?"*

*"Exactly. We're supposed to be leaving. Didn't expect you to receive the message too."*

*"Kang-Dae, please stop. We're visiting mom here, why do you have to act all stern here?!"*

*"Oh, so just this day you're feeling pity for mom, who literally went through therapy just to change herself, and here you are, you still though of her as a monster?!"*

*"KANG-DAE! Stop. It. Can't you fe*e*l the same thing for mom?!"*

*"I will. You better not tell mom we fought here. But she'll find out by the looks of our faces anyway."*

*"I'm sorry we fought. Hyun-Ae, will you forgive us?"*

*"… I forgive you. But I won't cause any more trouble, and I won't talk to anyone but mom now. Let's go."*

### Story 5

*"Hyun-Ae. You're here. Sorry to bother your class hours, you too as well Kang-Dae."*

*"Hi mom. It's alright. How's your condition so far?"*

*"It's a bit stable, but my head still hurts. Technically, I've been getting insomnia lately, so I haven't been sleeping very well."*

*"Mom, you need some rest."*

*"I'm very sorry to trouble you all. I promise I will take care of myself. And of course, Dae-Seong, I will take a rest."*

In that conversation, Amy would occasionally forget to take a rest when she feels tired. Lawrence had to remind her multiple times, but he didn’t mind. What Amy did in the past may damage Lawrence's past as well, but it never really did anything bad to them, but instead, it managed to help them be more mature and mentally prepared. Lawrence also hopes that their siblings would also be like them, but for now, they are still learning how to be 'decent' people.

### A Picture of Amy

Lawrence also has a picture of their mother, but it was never hung in a wall, rather it was kept with them in a scrapbook. He has always kept this picture, just to remind them that Amy is always with them, along with the siblings and their father.

*"Hmm… Seems like my scrapbook is opened. But who opened it?"*

*"Oh? It seems that Kang-Dae opened it. Plus the picture's almost out."*

*"\*sigh\* Maybe he left in a hurry."*
