He is also obsessed with girls. He claims that he can make any girl fall head over heels for him.
Hayden is also a skilled networker. He is able to obtain phone numbers from numerous people, including the bucket hat guy from Naksung Fam. He is obsessed with maintaining a social media presence and posts about the Union life on Inssagram.
He also has a habit of ignoring phone calls that he doesn't deem important, such as when he ignored Hwangmo's calls when he was busy playing pool with other people. He gets mad when Wolf and the others hangs out and eats at the Bar without him even though he was the one who refused to answer any calls.
History[]
Hayden attended Gilshin Middle School alongside Jack Kang and Jimmy Bae. He often hung out with Jack's friend group, and he'd get annoyed whenever they hung out without him, even though Hayden sometimes ignores their calls. After Jimmy and Jack became friends, Hayden also hung out with them. One night, they encountered Hayong Jeong and other members of Manwol's Squad 2. Hayden was relieved when Hayong intended to let them go because Gilshin wasn't on the watchlist of Union-affiliated schools, but Jimmy wanted to fight. In the end, Jimmy, Jack, and Hayden were all defeated.
