Relationships
Gray Yeon
Jeremy was not particularly close to Gray, but he did inform Gray of his name not being on the registration list, knowing that Gray had intended to enter it. He accompanied Gray to the teacher's room to ensure his name gets put on the list before the deadline. Also, despite Oswald and Bryce not wanting Gray and Stephen to know about the group chat where they insult them, Jeremy still went out of his way to show it to Gray in secret. He also informed Gray about Stephen falling from the roof while Gray was away at the Olympiad so he could head over to the hospital immediately. Over a year later, Jeremy saw Stephen at Donghae Rest Stop during a field trip with his school and informed Gray. He was relieved to see that Gray made so many good friends.
Stephen Ahn
Jeremy was never close to Stephen on, but he was never malicious towards him. When Oswald Yang created a secret group chat where everyone in class secretly insulted Stephen and Gray, Jeremy showed it to Gray, despite the entire class having been told to keep it a secret from them. Jeremy also informed Gray when Stephen fell from the roof while Gray was away at the Olympiad. In high school, when his school was on a field trip and stopped by Donghae Rest Stop, Jeremy recognized Stephen as the barista at the cafe and informed Gray of his whereabouts to reunite the two.
Oswald Yang
Like the rest of the class, Jeremy feared Oswald Yang due to his father's authority. Despite this, he disobeyed the order to keep the class' group chat where they openly insult Gray and Stephen a secret from them. Jeremy secretly showed the group chat to Gray.
