#aneka evans

Sinan: Sinan feels a deep fear and sympathy when MC has a nightmare, as if their pain is his own. He approaches them with calmness and gentleness, softly trying to wake them without startling them. After offering water or asking quietly what they need, Sinan might try to lighten the mood by making a soft joke, hoping to distract them from their distress. His instinct is to hold them close, offering a mix of quiet comfort and light-hearted humor, ensuring MC feels safe and protected, while also gently steering them away from the lingering fear.

Nayla: Nayla is immediately concerned when MC is distressed in their sleep. She instinctively cuddles closer, whispering calming words to soothe them. If MC doesn’t settle, she gently wakes them, offering warmth and reassurance. Nayla stays attentive, asking what they need and offering her presence as a steady source of comfort, constantly reaffirming that she is there to support them in any way they need.

Aneka: Aneka reacts with calmness and quiet support, gently waking MC if they seem too distressed. She asks if they want a hug or offers to make tea, always suggesting peaceful activities like reading a fairy tale or listening to an audiobook together. Aneka doesn’t force conversation, preferring to be a quiet, steady presence, comforting MC through shared silence and simple gestures that convey care without the need for too many words.

Miguel: Miguel tends to panic inwardly, freezing at first because he doesn’t know how to handle the situation. His reaction is driven by concern, but he’s unsure of the right approach. He may ask others for help if possible or nervously wake MC, possibly a bit too forcefully due to his anxiety. Once awake, he struggles with silence, finding it too awkward. Miguel will start rambling, going on and on about how worried he was, or asking MC if they’re okay, repeatedly. His ability to comfort others is limited, and he knows it, so he compensates by holding MC close, continuing to talk because he’s uncomfortable with silence, even if his words aren’t very helpful.

Hongyu: Hongyu reacts with tenderness, gently caressing MC’s hair or cheek. His approach is soft and warm, placing a kiss on their forehead and whispering soothing words before waking them gently. His focus is entirely on MC, asking if they’re okay and offering to stay by their side. Hongyu doesn’t hesitate to make their well-being his priority, offering physical touch and quiet reassurance, doing whatever it takes to make MC feel safe and comforted, with no concern for anything else.

Marcos/Maria: Marcos/Maria wakes MC quickly, not with harshness but in a straightforward, practical manner. They want to help but aren’t sure what’s needed, and if MC doesn’t express their needs immediately, they become unsure of how to proceed. Their awkwardness stems from not knowing how to deal with others' emotions, feeling uncomfortable in situations requiring emotional support. They want to make things better but are unsure how to navigate the situation, often leaving if they feel they’re not needed or if it gets too overwhelming. They’re torn between wanting to stay and help but feeling uncertain about their ability to offer comfort.

Sinan: Sinan would feel bad instantly because he doesn't want any bad vibes, especially within the team or in general. If the situation is really bad, he might take some time to process it, but usually, he tries to resolve things immediately and apologizes right away. Sinan is very reflective and would take the full blame, even if it's not entirely his fault. He is deeply interested in keeping things harmonious and can't stand to see others in distress.

Nayla: Nayla would feel bad, and it would show on her face. She would apologize immediately after realizing her mistake. She’s very careful and adjusts her behavior based on the other person’s reactions. If someone needs space, she respects that. Nayla would feel bad for a long time and wouldn't easily forget the situation. She might even bring a gift as an apology and reflect on her actions, and try to improve for the future.

Aneka: Aneka would feel really bad and be willing to do anything to apologize. She would ask what the other person (MC) wants to do and put in her best effort to make things right. However, if she senses that nothing is improving despite her efforts, she would start to lose interest in maintaining the relationship. Aneka understands her mistake, but if both sides aren't working together to move forward, she sees no point in continuing.

Miguel: Miguel would avoid the situation, not because he wants to, but because he's awkward and unsure how to respond appropriately. He feels easily attacked, even when he knows the criticism is valid. He overthinks things and fears making more mistakes. Miguel would feel bad about the situation and be sad about potentially losing something important, but he struggles to deal with other people's emotions and communicate his own. Avoidance feels like the easiest solution to him.

Hongyu: Hongyu would accept his mistake and apologize, showing genuine interest in fixing the situation. Internally, he would push away any pain he feels and focus on moving forward. He’s practical and realistic—if he made a mistake, it's his fault, and he feels it's his responsibility to fix it.

Marcos/Maria: Marcos/Maria would likely walk away from the situation initially. It would take them some time to recognize or acknowledge that they did something wrong, especially if it’s not immediately obvious. Even when the mistake is clear, they need time to fully accept it. They might try to ignore it and continue acting as if nothing happened. If the other person (MC) confronts them later, they might finally realize their error and offer an apology.

Min: Min would feel bad and overthink the situation, which would bring their mood down significantly. They tend to hide their emotions, becoming even more sour. Min would genuinely want to apologize, but they’re unsure of how to do it, which causes hesitation. Sometimes, they might impulsively approach the situation, attempting to apologize on the spot, but other times they might wait, unsure of the right timing. If they delay, it could take a while, but eventually, they would still find a way to apologize, even if it takes some time.

Sinan: He definitely likes to have a fun, maybe even childish and spontaneous dynamic with his partner. But she needs to be mature and reliable when needed. He likes to be more cozy at home, so his partner needs to be fine with that. He has too many adventurous things happening at work, so he doesn't need that in his free time. He also always has his team of chaotics nearby, so that's enough for him. He can sense someone's vibe really well, even just from observing them. If he feels connected or if the vibe is right, he can get interested immediately. He always sorts people into two categories—potential love or friendship—fairly early, and once you're in one category, it's hard to switch to the other. So if he sees a woman and goes through that process and ends up dating her, he will say that he fell in love at first sight.

Nayla: She and her partner need to give and take equally from each other in all aspects; it can't be one-sided. She wants to learn together with her partner, try new things, do fun things, and be creative. Trying to communicate is also super important for her—open and honest communication, even if she struggles with it herself. The trying part is important. Also, her partner should validate her feelings because she struggles with expressing them. She doesn't believe in love at first sight, but she can be interested at first sight and then try to interact with that woman to see how they vibe together and base her intentions on that. It's more like interest at first conversation.

Aneka: She needs to be comfortable with the person and vice versa, just existing in the same space without much interaction. She doesn't like forced interaction to cover awkwardness; if that's necessary, she and that person don't work well together. If she wants to, she will speak or interact with them, but you can't force her to. It can be random, but she just does what she feels like in the moment. It doesn't mean she doesn't interact at all; it's just limited, and she isn't shy or emotionless. She still expresses her emotions a lot if you observe her closely. She doesn't fall in love, but if she likes a person platonically, she will want them by her side, just mostly existing there, together. Working together, eating together, reading together. Giving each other stability and strength through being near each other, not being alone. Finding comfort in that is important for a really close friendship with her. Grounding and finding peace with each other. You need a lot of time, and it needs to happen naturally. You can't force her to like you and get on that level. One day, you and she are hanging out, and you ask yourself, "Wow, she just appeared, and now we're so close. How did that happen?" Like when you think about how you befriended that one person you're close with, and it just happened.

Hongyu: He has his boundaries, and they need to be respected. He needs time to open up about his deeper self and his thoughts and feelings. There's a whole world with depths inside him that he keeps hidden most of the time. He will come to his partner when he is ready, on his own. You can't force it. His partner needs to give him that space. His partner also needs to calm him and his mind, helping him get out of his head, stop overthinking, by spending time together—exciting or calm. Time with his partner should give him energy, not take it from him like his normal life does. It must feel natural and not like a chore. He doesn't want to be babied; he wants his partner to respect his decisions and trust in his ability to make decisions for himself. He doesn't believe in love at first sight. For him, casual friendships or even flirting are first and foremost fun. From there, deeper relationships can form; he needs a base first.

Miguel: His future man need to be fine with him being a little jittery. I have diagnosed ADHD, and I see a lot of traits I have in him, to be honest. He is also chaotic, bubbly, and talks a lot, so his partner has to be fine with that. His partner needs to let him talk, especially about things he is passionate about when he has a new impulse or something. He can be random and reckless, so it's best if his partner matches his energy but also looks out for him in that regard. He can overthink a lot, so his partner has to reassure him frequently. His partner also needs to be able to stand up for what he believes in; Miguel has strong morals and values. Like many others, he needs a partner with whom he can calm down a little, where he can stop his overactive mind. He definitely believes in love at first sight, especially when that person seems to match his energy. In his head, he is already planning the wedding and a whole family together. Still, that relationship needs time to develop.

Marcos/Maria: Trust is super important for them. Seriously breaking it makes it hard to regain, even more in a romantic relationship than in a friendship, where they are more forgiving. They also give that dedication back, of course, but they also need it from their partner. Their partner has to let them be perfectionistic and experience their emotions when they mess up. Don't downplay the problem, and don't put pressure on them to do better or tell them they messed up if you weren't directly involved because they already know. Maybe don't mention it at all until some time has passed. Let them live through it; they will learn, talk about it, and maybe even accept it eventually. Be there for them when they reach that stage. Their partner needs to recognize what they are going through and acknowledge it. They have a hard time asking for and accepting help but secretly appreciate it. They don't believe in love at first sight; they have a hard time with romance and feelings in general. They aren't even actively looking at someone that way.

Min: They like teasing and when their partner gets them out of their shell, out of their comfort zone. They may seem like they hate it at first, but then they realize they don't and just needed a push. Their partner should make them laugh, validate their feelings—both positive and negative—and support them regarding their feelings and dreams. It's important for their partner to tell them it's okay to feel a certain way in a situation. They also need much time with their partner, with a lot of contact through regular messages, calls, etc. They have a lot of dedication and are stubborn, which can be frustrating, so their partner needs to be okay with that. They also have high values and morals. They can come off as rude and moody a lot, so their partner needs to be able to deal with that and see the person underneath. They know a lot of people can't deal with them, so they don't dare to fall in love at first sight or even show interest.

What will the ROs do? (if it's a crush stage)

Okay, so I split this question into two parts:

When the ROs notice the MC but aren’t aware of MC’s feelings.

If the ROs don’t notice the MC, aren’t aware of their feelings, and they just get flirted with.

I assume the ROs have a crush on MC in both cases. (I applied their sexualities too, just for reference: Sinan - straight, Nayla - lesbian, Aneka - bisexual and aromantic, Miguel - gay, Hongyu - bisexual, Marcos/Maria - bisexual, Minhyuk/Miyeon/Min - pansexual).

Sinan:

He is the team leader. The moment he sees anyone looking sad or anything, he will be there, crush or not, MC or any other member. He would reject any flirting woman immediately if he has a crush. He wants to try his best and dedicate his energy always to one woman, who has his interest and heart, at the time.

So that applies here too; if he has a crush, he isn’t interested in anyone until he dates his crush or he is 100% sure that it's not going to work out.

Nayla:

She isn’t really the hook-up type, and to be interested in a woman, she wants to get to know her better. But why get to know a woman better when she already has a crush? She is not interested in getting to know two women at the same time. So she would, of course, come over to MC and ask her if everything is alright. She rejected the other woman to be by her crush's side before MC can even get really sad.

Same as Sinan, if she doesn’t notice MC, she would still decline and probably look for MC afterwards to spend time with her.

Aneka:

(So she is aromantic. Her route is more like a really close platonic friend/queer platonic friendship, and when wanted, with NSFW content, but that’s optional. I will describe her feelings in her route closer. She is similar to me in that I am on the aromantic spectrum too. You can play her route and be romantically into her, but you still have to remember that she is aromantic and may be a bit repulsed by that and unsure how to proceed. There will be multiple ways and endings to fix this later and still be good with her or not.)

Since she is aromantic, people flirting with her will lead nowhere; sometimes she just enjoys listening to them, so she stays, sometimes she don't. MC could still be jealous and hurt. Aneka values people close to her more, and since she doesn’t have a crush, let’s say she feels really close emotionally to the MC. She would definitely see that something is going on and immediately leave the flirty person behind; MC is way more important than some random person.

She would leave the flirty person after a while; she has fun with strangers sometimes, but there has to be strict no strings attached, so if the flirty person shows too much interest or is an asshole, she is out.

Miguel:

Miguel definitely knows when he has a crush on someone; he is really aware of his feelings and may hyperventilate and overthink. That’s why when he notices MC, the man he has a crush on, he is immediately concerned and comes over and makes sure that MC is okay and stays with MC if that is wanted.

If he doesn’t notice the MC but has a crush on the MC, he would either refuse the other man who is flirting with him because he has a crush on MC or go with him, flirt with him in hopes that it would take his mind off his crush even if he feels shitty later.

Hongyu:

He is really good at denying that he has a crush on someone, especially to himself, so he most likely isn’t aware that he has a crush on MC. He would notice that something is going on, however, and come over to MC and ask them if they are okay.

Since he doesn’t know that he has a crush, or well, he hasn’t realized, he would maybe just talk with the flirty person and decide spontaneously if he goes with them, or continues talking, or when he has had enough. He likes to have a good time; it’s nothing more than that for him, everythings starts as a good time for him, it rarely starts because of genuine dates.

Marcos/Maria:

They don’t like being openly directly flirted with, especially in a public setting, too out of their control. They would feel a little uncomfortable. They can get used to it and like it, but it takes time and trust. They like more subtle, indirect ways of flirting from others. They themselves sometimes flirt openly, but only when they do it and can decide the setting and everything, then it's okay for them. They wouldn’t notice MC feeling sad or off, but when they see them, they would use them as a way to get away from the person flirting with them and come over. They aren’t shy; they just don’t like it and often also don’t have the nerve or capacity for it. Plus, also because they are really loyal and share deep connections with some people, and to build that it takes time. They also sometimes think that they are really loyal to a person, but in the end, they have a crush and confuse those things until someone tells them or the person confesses. Similar to Hongyu, who has similar problems. They don’t make the connection why they would betray MC’s loyalty if they flirt with another person that they have a crush on, if MC is their friend. They just don’t want to deal with flirting, and they don’t want to "betray" their "friend".

Same as above, but obviously without them noticing MC, they would still go away from the person flirting.

Min:

They know that they have a crush but try to deny it, so it’s a little different than Hongyu. When they see MC looking sad or down, they would raise an eyebrow and think about going to MC, but then not do it because they are too scared, and they would have to acknowledge their feelings. It would make it real. So they would flirt back with the other person heavily and later regret it, thinking about MC.

They would flirt back and maybe even sleep with the person who is flirting with them, kind of like Miguel in that regard, that they would play along only to forget their crush and regret it later.

I think that this and other questions help you get clearer pictures of the ROs, since they arent in the story yet. you can always send me questions about all the characters or specific characters if you want too :)

(This is how I imagine, planned and wrote the characters, it could be however, that at one point when I am writing, some things change. I mean its a WIP and characters evolve with time and writing and ideas etc.)

Sinan: I think he would be good at it. He is open about his feelings and considerate of others. He acknowledges when he has made a mistake but is also ready to call others out. He might be a bit awkward, perhaps making a few jokes and then realizing that it wasn’t really appropriate at the moment. He is a mature guy when he needs to be; there's a reason he is the team leader.

Nayla: She would definitely talk. She is open and gentle, and she typically isn’t offended but rather feels sad and hurt internally. She is willing to do a lot to fix a relationship when she likes the other person. She is also not afraid to speak her mind, but she is gentle and considerate, even playing down others' mistakes or things that bother her. She knows communication is key and does her best. She is still learning and would rather avoid conflict, but she knows it’s better to talk and fix things.

Aneka: There are limited people who are close to her and who she is actually interested in having a close relationship with. She doesn’t care about others. When you manage to get close to her, she is willing to do anything to fix things when they go wrong, when she sees that the other person try’s too. She listens more than she talks, taking it in and trying to be better. She might nod along or write things down. She tends to speak up when something bothers her, and if the other person doesn’t do anything to change, she cuts them off. She does not run after them.

Hongyu: He has no problem speaking his mind or accepting when he has made a mistake. He accepts it and tries to be better. He doesn’t get mad or angry; he is calm and gentle. He is interested in having good relationships with people he likes. However, he doesn’t talk about his own deeper personal feelings outside of relationships. He deflects a lot. It would be hard to fix something if that is the reason for the issue.

Miguel: He would avoid it, not because he wants to, but because he is a little awkward and doesn’t know how to respond or act appropriately. He also feels attacked easily, even if he knows that things are true. He thinks too much and is afraid of making mistakes. He would feel really bad about it, though and be sad about what he potentially lost. He doesn’t know how to deal with others' feelings very well or communicate his own. It’s easier to avoid things and that person.

Marcos/Maria: They would avoid it. They don’t know how to deal with it and their own feelings in the situation. It’s easier to just ignore it and move on, perhaps distancing themselves. They are good at taking their mind off things with work until they forget or enough time has passed. Mostly because they aren’t really in control, and they have a hard time living with their own mistakes, even recognizing them. They also don’t call out others' mistakes or what bothers them in personal relationships if the relationship still functions otherwise. They are perfectionistic. Everything they did, they did for a reason, and when people aren’t okay with that… well.

Min: They are usually a bit grumpy, maybe even offended, but eventually see reason. They would come to talk about things that need to be addressed and fixed; you just have to give them a bit of time. They need to overcome their own reluctance first, whether they made a mistake or the other person. They are interested in having a good relationship with people they like and want to be liked back by them. They might be a bit awkward and stiff, maybe a bit rude, but they mean well.

Sinan: Sinan is a touchy guy, even among friends, only if they like it, of course, so I would say physical touch is his love language. He doesn't even notice most of the time, but if he likes someone and that person signals that it's okay, he will do it, especially in a relationship.

Nayla: She makes jewelry and has a flower shop. She likes to craft earrings or necklaces for her partners and often gifts flowers. In general, she loves giving gifts; seeing her partner happy because of that makes her happy too.

Aneka: She is a poet, so definitely words of affirmation, letters, and poems. She is a quiet person and doesn't talk much, but when she speaks, you notice that she is really good with words. She is also aromantic, so this is more about a deep friendship in a queer platonic/platonic way.

Miguel: He talks a lot, like a lot about himself, his interests, and random facts. He also listens and takes in what his partner has to say and how his partner feels. He will also ask about his partner's life and show interest in them.

Hongyu: I would say acts of service. He likes to take care of his partner with small or big gestures—opening a door, giving his jacket away, taking his partners arm while walking, but also cooking after a stressful day. He always looks out for his partner. He also likes to make people laugh and cheer them up.

Marcos/Maria: They will listen to your problems and do their best to help you out at any time. No matter what it is, they will try to find a solution. They are also incredibly loyal once they let you in.

Min: Quality time. They take you out for dinner, to the arcade, shopping, but also to their boxing matches. They enjoy planning dates, especially creative ones. They also enjoy spending time with their partner.

Hongyu: 1,93m or around 6′4 ″
