Cain Jung

Bodyguard of the Jeongs ... LOYAL, CHARMING, INTELLECTUAL

❝ there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. ❞

“Of course there isn’t.” Its an automatic reflex--a response that has been ingrained in him like a clockwork of repetitions, but Hye is someone that he knows. They’re similar, having served their own masters faithfully, and without any further questions or qualms. 

He admires her tenacity, as well as the kindness and gentleness. Perhaps its the purity that draws him to her, or the tradition that they share the same scope or similar scopes of work and responsibilities that they both need to have towards their royals.

“There’s nothing wrong with you either.” Cain’s socially awkward, but a sweet, dimpled smile glitters its way through to Hye as he grins, the shade of stoicness that usually encased his very self slipping away completely for a momentary moment of impish mischief.

❝ there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. ❞

If the other male was sorely expecting an reaction from Cain--the bodyguard had to say that unfortunately--there wasn’t going to be any. His hands were gloved, clasped in front of his body as he awaited the third born prince, head slightly inclined to the side as his hazel eyes studied the royal prince.

“Of course there isn’t, my prince.” A polite, politically correct answer seeped from his lips, falling to fill the space in between them, the frozen smile on his lips barely touching his dimpled cheeks. “May I ask why you’ve asked this question though?” The tilt of his head was inquisitive, his hazel eyes bright.

❝ let them watch. ❞

Watch? Cain’s eyebrows furrowed deeply at the princess’ words, a faint sigh emitting from his lips. He could never understand sometimes what the royals were implying. Some people said it was because he lacked the social skills that people were often born with--not that he didn’t agree nor disagree--Cain definitely had his own problems, and one of the greatest of them all was actual socializations.

“You mean watching the parade, princess?” His long lashed, dark eyes flickered as they danced under the flickering light, deferentially standing behind the Nam’s youngest princess, his tongue darting out slightly to wet his lips. Whilst Cain didn’t understand why exactly he had been sent to follow and tackle the princess when they had their own bodyguard, but he presumed that the male’s obvious and focal priority would have been more of the eldest princess of the prince--rather than the youngest of all the royals. Which is why he couldn’t for the life of him--fathom why he had been sent to the girl’s side when he was supposed to be watching over his king and prince. Cain was only one person, but he was truly a highly capable individual, as seen by how he was accepted as a bodyguard. 

Still, the bodyguard cleared his throat lightly, keeping his reservations to himself as he rocked back slightly on his feet, guarding the young royal as they moved through the bustling city square that was filled with a parade.

Hello

Hello Everyone! This is an official hello for Cain! Some of you probably already know me as Lina mun, the mun behind Leilah Mae as well as the resident Baek bad boy Dorian Baek.

Cain however, is much different from the rest of my characters--I think most of you would get along with him (unlike..Dorian) and so because I haven’t done most of his pages YET orz, (yes i know, i should have--but I had Lei’s and Dorian’s and I promise--its GETTING THERE), below the cut there’s everything you need to know about Cain!

birthdate/age: October 12thrd 1991

position: “The Bodyguard of the Jeongs

Aesthetics: Gloves, Swords, Wolf, Slightly mussed hair, Black and White Suits, Books, Smell of Paper and Leather, Rulebooks, Servitude, Loyalty, Tea, Coffee, Justice and Knowledge, intellectual conversations, awkward flirtations, confused expressions,  

(+)Loyal (+)Gentle (+)Straitlaced

(-)Stoic

(-)Traditional

(-)Emotionally Inept

THE STORY !

Triggers:

-          Born into a family that prioritized knowledge above all others, Cain was the exception of his family, having had an ardent interest in the military and fighting. The oldest of all his brothers, Cain pretty much became a disappointment to his family members when he decided to take the test to become a bodyguard instead of one for a scholar, unlike the tradition of his family, who were all scholars before him.

-          Cain is a very loyal man, some might even call him straitlaced, or going too much by the rulebook. He’s a man who keeps his pledges as well as his word, and does not stray easily from it.

-          Emotionally, he’s pretty inept—as in he can’t really tell flirtatious advances or if someone has interest in him. He seems like a block of wood when it comes to the emotional side of things, but once he’s pledged himself to one particular person, Cain is the type to follow through with his love and protectiveness for the other person till the very end.

-          Cain rarely smiles, because he was brought up as a traditional boy by his family, learning that poise and appearances are the most important for a civilian noble.

-          Cain is almost always found with one of the Jeongs, serving as their most loyal bodyguard, never leaving their side. He’s a good listener, but lacks in the area of being able to give a proper or a good response to others, which sometimes frustrates people to no end.

-          He’s gifted enough to be considered as a good candidate for a scholar, but chose the different path from the traditional route that his family used. In exchange for their forbearance for him taking a warrior’s path instead of a soldier’s path, Cain promised to never step out of bounds of what they demand of him ever again.

Personality: Cain is a loyal, protective individual, a man that embodies his position entirely and fully both in name and character. A traditionalist, Cain sticks very much by the rule book and can be considered as someone incredibly stoic as well as emotionally inept when it comes to flirtations. He can’t tell if someone is interested in him—and may sometimes be referred to as a straitlaced block of wood. But despite such short comings, he’s a very loyal individual, as well as a very protective person. He’s knowledgeable as well, and does enjoy intellectual conversations at times, but what Cain truly needs is someone who can show him that life isn’t all about rules and regulations, or being loyal to a fault, and that his life is just his own.
