Jae-Hui is a quiet kid but a kleptomaniac at heart. He doesn't always mean to steal things he just can and does because it's oh so easy to do so. Food to get buy on difficult days, jewelry off the rich to pay for his books, gifts for a secret crush. He does it well and so quietly you never notice he's done it at all. Jae-Hui is also extremely calm, almost too calm one could say he hardly ever gets angry or scared even with a gun to his head. He takes it with grace and a calm that should be terrifying.
