* TheArtifact: One of the things that drived Hooni to his suicidal tendencies was having left a debt of ₩50,000,000 (about $42,000 USD) which he has to pay on his own. After the first bunch of chapters, this is never treated as an issue but given it would be odd to have Hooni suddenly having enough money to pay all of that, is still mentioned every once in a while but is never treated as an problem anymore.

* ArtifactTitle:
** Thanks to CharacterDevelopment, Hooni is no longer as suicidal as he was at the beginning of the story by the time Volume 2 kicks in and he rarely (if ever) tries to kill himself. Even when he's still shown to be depressed and having hard periods of his life he never seems to consider suicide anymore.
** Volume 2.5 suffers of this in a different way, not only is Hooni not suicidal but he's not even the focus character anymore. As the first half focus on Sana and the second half on Harim.

To say Hooni's had a rough go at life would be an {{understatement}}. After his mother tragically died of illness, his abusive drunk of a father abandoned him, leaving Hooni with the burden of paying off a ₩50,000,000 (about $42,000 USD) debt on his own. And if that wasn't enough, he's a prime target for bullies at school. With no parents, no money, and no hope for the future, Hooni believes the only thing that will save himself from this messed up life is suicide. But despite his many attempts, he has yet to find a satisfactory way of killing himself.

** Jaehoon gets this around the second half of Volumen 2, while he's still around he doesn't get much storylines on his own and mostly reserves to being the third guy in the main trio rather that his own character, in Volumen 2.5 [[DemotedToExtra it gets worse]]. Given Volumen 3 has being announced as a story between Hooni, Soorim and Yang, is probable this trend would continue.
