## History

### Biography

At the age of 14, Sinan was abandoned by his mother and father. He was left to live alone in their old house while his parents went off to live their own life with their separate families. Sinan lives with his grandfather who sleeps all day and only wakes up to eat. We see Sinan wake his grandfather up to give him his food with no other interaction ever again. Sinan also has and takes care of his dog. At the beginning of the season, we see Sinan constantly drinking. Bringing a flask to school and whenever he is out with friends. Later in the season though, he gets better and we don’t see him drinking excessively. A couple episodes in, Sinan falls into the water and stays under. It is unclear as if this is a suicide attempt since he came up from the water on his own and we see him a couple scenes later. Later in the show, after adult Isik opens the gift of the painting her and Sinan bonded over, she starts crying uncontrollably. We don’t know why but we believe it relates to Sinan since the painting was important to them. The way she cries could also lead to the possibility to Sinan being dead, most likely suicide because of when he went underwater. However, turns out that possibility can not be true, as we see him alive as an adult in the last episode. Also earlier in the season, Eda made a remark for Sinan to go die like he always wanted to. When the group was talking to their parents about their possible expulsion, we see Sinan call his dad who responds to Sinan saying he’s busy and can’t talk while his kids laugh in the background. It is clear Sinan’s dad doesn’t care for him in the slightest, leaving Sinan without ever being loved except for Isik. Isik and Sinan started having feelings for each other towards the middle of the show and this was confirmed with the under water kiss they had the night of Isik’s birthday. Isik is the only love Sinan has ever had.

***Isik***

Form the first episode it is evident that Sinan and Isik are familiar with each other from being desk mates. Isik’s feelings for Sinan are confirmed to the audience through the 1st season with her constant asking about his whereabouts and looking after his academic and physical well-being. Unfortunately, Sinan has dealt with neglect since the young age of 14 after being abandoned by his parents and forced to live alone. This means he struggles to grasp her feelings and almost drives her away with his blunt and passive personality. Eventually, he becomes aware of Isik’s feelings as well as his own and they begin a relationship after sharing an underwater kiss in Episode 6.

Although finding himself in a relationship, Sinan maintains his pessimism but Isik never tries to change him and instead becomes his resting stone. Sinan’s own deep care for her shows when he writes her notes and takes them to her house, even cleaning up his appearance to gain acceptance from her mother. He is clearly lost without her and relies on her optimism to keep him going.

Their relationship dynamic is different from Eda and Kerem’s in which theirs is more passionate and heated, whereas Isik and Sinan are not too big on public displays of affection and keep their romantic moments a sort of secret from everyone else.

This could change however, now that the second season is confirmed to release on September 30, 2021 on Netflix.
