Though a very observing person, Xero, born Shin Jiho, speaks his mind. As seen on screen he seems very lively and friendly, respectful too— Wrong. Xero would gloat at someone’s mistake. One of his hobbies include bragging and setting himself as an ideal to everything he compares. Crude languages frequently spill out of his mouth, paired with a smirk. Xero got his stage name from the word ‘zero’ which means either ways. It could be a negative, it can be a positive— But it’s not. It’s basically neutral.

Relationships | Social Life:
Flirtatious with everyone he encounters with an exception of the gender the same as his, this never changed. Cheated on one of his girlfriend with a girl two year his senior.
He was seen as a egotistical person, very aware of his looks and structure. His advisers would usually pass him a detention slip for being late or skipping class. He was a very friendly person, but would destroy his new made friendship with a quick and painful confrontation.
Growth and Development | Adolescence and Childhood:
Very observing as a kid. Would get heaps of compliment how advance he could be for his age. At physical matters he grew with great speed. At the age of fourteen he lost his virginity to a girl who’s a year ahead of him. Though nonchalant, never did he smoked. By the time he entered his 3rd year in high school he was dubbed the ‘Bad Boy’ of the school, girls, older or younger, swooning at his sight and boys eying him. At the age of 8, he learned how to cuss/swear. Making it his daily habit.
Once left his home for getting scolded after his parents discovered his affiliation with after school fights. Stayed at a graduating senior’s house for 1 week. Ever since then he never introduced himself with his real name, instead he went for Jiro, which is zero.
Admission of being a Trainee:
Discovered by street casting. It was a snowy day, January 2nd, a middle-aged woman approached him, giving out a pamphlet that read ‘Stardom Entertainment Audition’. He tugged the piece of paper out of her hands and scanned it, nodding mutely at the other’s request to join.
Role Model:
Drake, J-Cole, G-Dragon, almost anyone who is a star the hip-hop industry.
Born Shin Jiho, Topp Dogg's main dancer. He was born enigmatic, seeking temporary solitude in city lights. Tended at a young age, Xero learned learned how to build his own wall, a strong and unbreakable wall, separating him from the world..
Longing to go through the crowded streets, the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds true love; Xero was never lucky, or rather, luck has never been by his side. He has grew to become a man who is used to giving love, but never to receive it back.
[ SMS: Cosmo ] I fly to Japan on Friday. I'd tell you not to miss me but I know you won't anyways ^^
Xero laid flat on his back, arms spread out against the practice room’s hardwood floor. As the cool air made its way towards his back, Xero received a notification. He slowly sat up, a hand rubbing against the nape of his neck. It was quite irksome, but he would never admit it. In his own point of view, it seems like she only contacts him when she needs something, or rather, when she wants something from him. It was a selfish thought, but it was all the main dancer could see; it was all he could think of when he’s with her. Staring down the screen with half-lidded eyes, a monotonous look fell upon his face, replying with only a couple of words, displaying his cold and tired demeanor.
[ sms from—; wanda ]
I fly to Japan on Friday. I’d tell you not to miss me but I know you won’t anyways ^^
Minutes after came out of he bathroom, a notification was pinned onto his phone’s lock screen.. a new text message from Soojung. Swiping his mobile open, he directed himself towards the messaging app, reading the new sms sent a couple of moments ago.
<!– Today, 2 minutes ago –!>
[ sms from—; wanda ] I miss you. It’s gross.
[ sms—; wanda ] that’s cute, i just came out of the bathroom, but that’s pretty cute.

❝I know I let you down.❞
Xero knew and he knew it well, being around Soojung could only result in something that would hurt the both of them, but being turned down after so many days of planning wasn’t forgivable in his dictionary. With an impatient tap of his foot, arms folded, his lower lip was slightly jutted out, eyes rolling back. It wasn’t like he gave up a couple of hour of sleep just to see her— not at all.
“Well, whatever,” he was perverse in his way, choosing not to hear whatever Soojung had to say. “Not like ‘sif I waited for two hours in the cafe, waiting for you.”

❝I don’t deserve it.❞
(` just earlier, he carelessly romped around the vicinity of the area, his phone tucked away in his jean’s backpocket; for all Xero knew, he still had his cellphone with him, which leads up to the current situation ) Ah.. Sunbae, (` he rubbed the nape of his neck, sheepishly chuckling ) Take it, really, (` hovering a palm on top of Jooyeon’s hands, curling her hands into a ball of fist ) I appreciate that you found my phone— but I think you do deserve this. Really, please take it.
And as a reward, he showed his gratitude by at least giving something back in return, a courteous gesture he was taught since he was young.. Though, all Xero could give was a pre-ticket to their upcoming fanmeet.
[ iN ] very, veeeery sure about that! unless someone lied to me about my birth date but-- I doubt it.

[iN] did you just call me ‘oppa’?? fine then, i’ll barge in and take her away!
if Xero was to have feelings for someone genuine, how would it go?
Bad. To start answering this question, let’s start with who Xero is when it comes towards the opposite gender: a Casanova. Since he’s a free soul, he comes and go whenever he likes. Xero doesn’t like attachment, not at all; any relationships he’s been in is either only considered a fling, or a one-night stand. Xero has never been in a serious relationship, and it’s doubtful that he’ll be in one anytime soon.
But say he does really get attached to this girl, there are two possible outcomes. This woman is either already really close with him, or it’s someone who has caught his attention real bad. Xero would start testing the waters first, dipping a toe before fully diving in; an unrequited love would definitely hurt him the most. If he feels like the girl cannot, or isn’t capable, of returning his feelings back, he’d pursue her even more.
OR.
He’d keep his distance, because his feelings are too strong for her, he wouldn’t want her caught up with whatever he has going on with his life. If worst comes to worst, the girl could probably be the one who’s going to end up hurting more (that’s if she return his feelings). He’d love her from afar, and maybe years after, Xero would regret his decision, letting a woman like that slip through his hands.
But personally, Xero isn’t the type of character to have a happy ending.
