Jihyun Kim Husbando

V (real name Jihyun Kim) is one of the side characters in Casual Story and Deep Story, and one of the main characters of Another Story, which was released on September 8, 2017, for Android users and a few days later for IOS users. He is the current head of the RFA, however is often offline because of his trips as a photographer and his blindness. He was the fiancé of Rika, and fell into a state of depression after her death, but did not show it. V is a person who often works with Seven together and keeps things as a secret to the RFA members. He is also childhood friends with Jumin, as Jumin has talked about both of them having used to go to the same church and V talking about their schooling times together. V is a tall and lanky character with turquoise eyes and hair. His hair sweeps slightly to the left, just barely covering his eye. Throughout the story, he's often seen wearing a pair of grey dress pants and a loose black shirt (or a black turtleneck) with an open silver suit. Along with his grey boots, he wears a necklace, which is generally silver. Due to being a victim of domestic violence committed by his fiancé, Rika, V's eyes are hurt badly, resulting in severe corneal damage from external trauma that almost blinds him, which is why he always wears dark sunglasses and a special lens, and can be seen with a cane at times. In Secret 001, both his eyes lose their vibrant turquoise color, as a clue that he has turned completely blind. Also in Jaehee's route, Jumin notes that V is already no longer able to see during their meeting. During Another Story, V's hair is much longer and shaggier and opts to wear a long brown coat over a button down shirt and slacks. At times, he can be seen wearing the robes of a Believer from Mint Eye as it is his guise to infiltrate the place in order to gain more information about the cult and the MC. During his Good Ending, V's hair is once again short and he wears more comfortable clothes, the necklace usually placed around his neck being replaced by colorful beads and a peace sign, signifying his growth and healing after his abusive relationship with Rika. His blindness is completely cured after receiving surgery and no longer wears sunglasses as he had in Casual and Deep Story. V is a person who respects one's privacy. This can be seen when he did not know Rika's password even though the apartment was under his name. He is also the type who keeps everything to himself, to the point where he would rather live with the burden of all his secrets than tell the other RFA members. He did not tell Seven all his secrets until he had no choice. Also, Zen says that although V is famous within the photography industry, he is not well known amongst the public since he does not like being talked about. Jumin has also stated that V is timid and faint-hearted, saying that if someone were to be against hosting the party again, V would talk about not hosting the party again. This implies that he is a people-pleaser and is sensitive toward the opinions of others, which can contribute to why he is a very private person. In addition, he is a very loyal person. Although Rika suffered from depression and paranoid delusions with her twisted personality, he never left her and even said, "Even if you strangle my neck, blind my eyes and break my limbs... I will still love you." V is also someone who hates getting innocent lives involved in his problems. He became a mole in Mint Eye in order to watch over Rika so she wouldn't target the other RFA members. He feels extremely guilty over Rika brainwashing Saeran, Seven's innocent younger twin brother, and begs Rika not to involve any more innocent lives in her goal at Mint Eye. He was also concerned about the main character's safety; if he hadn't accepted her into the RFA in the prologue chat, V believed she would've been targeted by Rika as a result. When he was in high school, V's personality was very different from his current one. He was extremely pragmatic and had similar values to his father. He also looked down on artists who valued abstract ideals over success and lived empty, desolate lives; seeing them as pathetic. He believed that he needed brilliant accomplishments (financial and social success) before he could begin discussing abstract values.
