Jay Jo Husbando

At the beginning of the school year, Jay was always found by himself, studying. The only time he was around people was during student council meetings. The first time he was shown riding a bike aside from the prologue (Ep. 0) was when he made a downhill skid with his fixed gear bike. The Zephyrus Crew witnessed Jay's skills, including Minu and June who found out that he was Sunny High School's student body President. Minu proceeded to pester Jay into joining their crew and face off in a race against TJ. Jay finally agreed when Minu said that TJ had trash-talked Jay's bike and called it an "old piece of crap." Jay showed up to the race and won the game, which pissed TJ off. Jay did not have much childhood and was constantly studying, even on his birthdays. Jay's parents hold incredibly high expectations for him when it comes to academics to the point where he's not allowed to have friends as they would only distract him from his studies. His parents told him that he could have fun after attaining a stable and successful career for himself. When Jay was younger, he wasn't studying only when he was with his uncle, Mach Jo. On his 13th birthday, Mach gave his bike to Jay promising that they would one day go on a cycling trip together. Unfortunately, his uncle died before that could happen. Jay loved his uncle dearly and would often think about him, and those memories would remind Jay why he loved cycling. While Mach was still alive, he asked Jay about his dream, and Jay responded that he wanted to be a doctor. However, Mach knew that this response was the expectations Jay's parents had pushed onto their son. He then asked Jay what his absolute dream was. Mach's influence on Jay went on to fuel Jay's passion for cycling. Years later, Mr. Nam prompts his class, asking what they would do if they only had a week to live. Jay wrote down that he would like to go on a bike trip with his friends, something he could not do with his uncle.
