He became close to Miru as Miru practically took him in while they were at school together when they were younger. Miru made his parents treat Zack like a younger brother. Not out of pity, but from the kindness in his soul, making Miru someone very dear to Zack. No one holds a position in his heart like him.
While studying Law, he took a holiday at Korea where he reconnected with Miru and learnt about his plan.
Another thing that really brought him close to Miru and his other members was his Harvard graduation. He never really cared that he didn't have a family, until that moment. Seeing everyone come with their loved ones to celebrate such a special day with pride and joy. Then there was him, all alone. When it was time for him to formally say goodbye, the hall erupted. Miru, together with the other members and their family, came to support him and brought the hall down. That was the first time they ever saw Zack cry. He delivered the most compassionate heartfelt graduation speech and felt what it was like to have a family
Bonus: a homeless man whom he used to give his lunch to attended his graduation. It was truly touching. The man died some months after, and Zack still sends flowers to his grave.

Special ability: sight. As a natural leader and lawyer, he's not only quick witted with a smart tongue, he's also hyper observant, noticing extraordinary details. He can also see things at inhumane ranges and angles and can see things humans normally shouldn't.
He also has "foetus memory". A rare phenomena where he can remember things all the way from the womb. Another reason why he understands Chinese, as he used to hear his mother speak it while in the womb.
