JUNHOE GREW UP AS THE YOUNGEST SON OF A WEALTHY FAMILY WHICH STILL KEPT THE TRADITIONAL IDEALS THAT "IMAGE IS EVERYTHING" AND SO FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF HIS LIFE, THINGS SEEMED TO WORK OUT PERFECTLY. AS HE HIT HIS TEEN YEARS THOUGH, 'IMAGE' BECAME IMPORTANT ONLY TO THE OUTSIDERS, AND NOT INSIDE THEIR HOUSE ANYMORE AND THAT'S WHEN HIS FATHER SLOWLY STARTED SLIPPING AWAY FROM THEIR LIFE. FROM THEN ON IT WAS MOSTLY JUST HIM, HIS SISTER AND THEIR MOTHER.

WITH HIS FATHER OUT OF THE PICTURE, ALWAYS ON BUSINESS TRIPS, THEIR MOTHER ENDED UP SPOILING HER KIDS AS MUCH AS SHE COULD, POSSIBLY TO FILL IN FOR THE SPOT OF HER LOVER FROM WHO SHE COULD BARELY GET ANY AFFECTION.  THEY GOT EVERYTHING THEY WANTED, WENT TO ALL TOP SCHOOLS AND GOT A LOT OF FREEDOM AS WELL. AND JUST LIKE THAT, THEIR SMALL FAMILY OF THREE GREW EXTREMELY CLOSE. WITH THE TWO BROTHERS ALWAYS KEEPING THEIR MOTHER COMPANY ON ANY PARTIES OR EVENTS ORGANIZED BY THEIR PARENTS' FRIENDS AND SO DURING HIS TEENS WAS WHEN JUNHOE STARTED TO NOTICE THE WAY HIS MOTHER DIDN'T LOOK AS HAPPY AS HE HAD PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. HE STARTED TO NOTICE HOW SHE WAS ONE OF THE VERY FEW WOMEN AT THE PARTIES AND EVENTS WHO NEVER BROUGHT THEIR HUSBAND ALONG. HOW HIS FATHER NEVER ASKED TO TALK TO THEIR MOTHER WHEN HE CALLED. HOW HIS MOTHER WENT DOWNSTAIRS FOR A DRINK WHEN THEY WERE BOTH SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP.
HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN RATHER BAD AT DEALING WITH HIS AND OTHERS' EMOTIONS, AND AT THOSE MOMENTS, HE WAS VERY THANKFUL FOR HIS ELDER SISTER WHO SEEMED TO HAVE A SPECIAL SKILL FOR COMFORTING THEIR MOTHER WHEN SHE NEEDED.

AS THEY GREW OLDER, THE PARTIES BECAME MORE FREQUENT AS THEY NOW HAD THEIR OWN FRIENDS WHO INVITED THEM OVER. HIS MOTHER WOULD STILL ACCOMPANY THEM BUT LESS OFTEN THAN BEFORE. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THE TEENS ENDED UP SNEAKING SOME ALCOHOL BOTTLES INTO THEIR BEDROOMS TO PLAY DRINKING GAMES TOGETHER. MUCH LIKE MOST OF HIS FRIENDS, NEARLY ALL OF JUNHOE'S 'FIRSTS' WERE AT THOSE PARTIES. NOT THAT HE REGRETTED THEM THOUGH.
WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GET TO COLLEGE, JUNHOE CHOSE ONE BASED ON ITS REPUTATION AS MONEY WAS NOT A PROBLEM. GOING FOR HIS PASSION, HE WENT FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS MAJOR, FOR ONCE, IGNORING THE WAY HIS FATHER HAD TOLD HIM TO CHOOSE SOMETHING MORE 'WORTHY'.

HIS CHARISMA AND CONFIDENCE ARE DEFINITELY TWO OF HIS STRONGEST POINTS AND SHAPED HIM INTO WHAT HE IS TODAY. HE'S VERY SOCIABLE AND EASYGOING, SO HE'S RATHER EASY TO BEFRIEND BUT HARD TO KEEP. CAN BE VERY LAZY AT TIMES, JUST LIKE HE CAN BE VERY HARD-WORKING AND PERSISTENT. HE IS INCREDIBLY HONEST, SO IF YOU WANT A BRUTALLY HONEST OPINION ASK HIM, THOUGH HE MAY BE A BIT TOO STRAIGHTFORWARD SOMETIMES. HE MAY SEEMINGLY HAVE MORE NEGATIVE THAN POSITIVE TRAITS IF YOU WERE TO LIST THEM ALL DOWN. BUT UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES AND IF YOU KNOW HOW TO HANDLE HIM, HE'S A GREAT FRIEND TO HAVE AROUND, AND SURELY LOTS OF FUN AS HE IS VERY ADVENTUROUS AND WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM A CHALLENGE.

HIS WORST TRAIT WOULD DEFINITELY BE HOW HOT-HEADED HE IS BECAUSE OF HOW BIG THE CONSEQUENCES TEND TO BE. HE CAN BE RATHER IMPULSIVE AND WILL HOLD GRUDGES IF THE SITUATION IS SERIOUS. WHEN HE'S MAD HE CAN BE VERY CRUEL EVEN TO FRIENDS, AND HE WILL NOT REGRET GOING FOR YOUR WEAK POINTS UNLESS YOU ARE ACTUALLY CLOSE, IN WHICH CASE HE WILL EVENTUALLY APOLOGIZE. HE IS ALSO VERY IMPATIENT AND STUBBORN, HENCE A BIT HARD-HEADED. IF HE'S SET ON SOMETHING IT WILL BE HARD TO CHANGE HIS MIND ON IT. HE CAN BE INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND IF HE DISLIKES YOU HE WILL BE RATHER UNCOOPERATIVE. GROWING UP IN WEALTH MADE HIM SOMEWHAT SPOILED WHICH RESULTED IN HIM BEING A BIT SELF-ABSORBED, BUT HE'S SLOWLY GROWING OUT OF IT.  TOXIC MASCULINITY MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH HIM.

Likes: HE BIGGEST PASSION WOULD DEFINITELY BE MUSIC, ALL TYPES OF MUSIC REALLY BUT IF ASKED ABOUT HIS PERSONAL FAVORITES THAT WOULD BE OLD ROCK, RNB AND ACOUSTIC, AND MAYBE SOME JAZZ. HE'S ALSO A BASKETBALL FAN AND HAS A SECRET PASSION FOR POETRY, EVEN WRITING HIS OWN POEMS FROM TIME TO TIME. HE LIKES TO DRAW ABSTRACT ART AND DOODLING ALL OVER HIS SCHOOL NOTEBOOKS. ADDED TO THAT HE ENJOYS PHOTOGRAPHY AS WELL, WHICH IS A HOBBY OF HIS ALONG WITH SINGING AND WRITING. also, musicals are his guilty pleasure.
HE LOVES DRINKING AND PARTYING, AND JUST HAVING FUN IN GENERAL. same for working out, it is almost like a hobby to him and pretty therapeutic. WHENEVER HE'S FEELING STRESSED HE LIKES TAKING SOME TIME TO HIMSELF. HE WILL SIMPLY GRAB HIS CAR KEYS WITHOUT A WORD AND DRIVE AROUND FOR A FEW HOURS, SOMETIMES FOR THE WHOLE DAY WITH HIS PHONE OFF. IT'S UNLIKELY THAT YOU'LL GET A HOLD OF HIM AT THESE MOMENTS.

dislikes: BEING RATHER SHORT-TEMPERED, IF HE'S MAD HE CAN'T REALLY TAKE A BREATHER AND SHUT IT. ALTHOUGH HE IS VERY SARCASTIC HIMSELF, HE WILL SNAP IF SOMEONE USES SARCASM ON HIM OR TRIES TO MAKE FUN OF HIM. Y BEHAVIOR GETS TO HIM AND HE WILL BE SURE TO TELL THAT TO YOUR FACE. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS JUNHOE DOESN'T LIKE BUT A LOT OF THEM ARE ONLY WHEN HE'S IN A BAD MOOD AND NOT WORTHY TO INCLUDE. I'M SURE YOU'LL GET TO FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH. MOM JOKES EARN YOU A SURE PUNCH TO THE FACE, SAME WITH JABS AT HIS FAMILY.

: USUALLY PREFERS TO BE DOMINANT, BUT WON'T SAY NO TO A FEMALE DOM FROM TIME TO TIME, THOUGH HE WILL NEVER FULLY SUBMIT. HE'S RATHER ADVENTUROUS AND WILL BE DOWN TO TRY MOSTLY ANYTHING AND HE IS ALSO A BIT OF AN EXHIBITIONIST. SO IF YOU GET WITH HIM, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY EXPECT SOME MARKING AS A WAY TO SHOW OFF.
WITH MEN, HE MIGHT BE VERSATILE POSITION-WISE DEPENDING ON THE GUY AND UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT HE WILL BE STRICTLY DOMINANT AS HIS PRIDE WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO SUBMIT TO A GUY JUST YET.

TW// POSSIBLE TOXIC RELATIONSIP (DEPENDS ON WHAT WE PLOT)

SHE WAS THE ONLY SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP JUN EVER HAD. THEY WERE YOUNG, AND JUST TRYING IT OUT. HE GOT ATTACHED ONLY TO REALIZE HE CARED MORE ABOUT HER THAN SHE DID ABOUT HIM. OF COURSE THAT WAS A BLOW TO HIS PRIDE AS WELL AS HIS FEELINGS AND THINKING THE OTHER MIGHT BE CHEATING ON HIM, HE ENDED UP SNAPPING. IT WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME HE WAS EVER SERIOUSLY UPSET ABOUT A BREAKUP. THEY FOUGHT AND IT GOT PRETTY UGLY. IT GOT WORSE WHEN HE SAW HER WITH A NEW GUY AT SOME PARTY AND HE MADE A SCENE. HE WAS PRETTY CRUEL WITH HER THEN TOO FEELING THE NEED TO HURT HER AS MUCH HE FELT SHE'D HURT HIM, AND ONCE AGAIN IT WAS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES HE ACTUALLY REGRETTED BEING SO BRUTAL TO SOMEONE. MOST OF THAT SUMMER WAS SPENT EITHER WASTER OR HIGH, SOMETIMES BOTH. IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD MEMORY. HE PICKED HIMSELF UP WHEN HE GOT ACCEPTED INTO THIS UNIVERSITY AND THAT SLIGHTLY HELPED HIM MOVE ON AND FOCUS ON SOMETHING OTHER THAN HER.
HAVING COMPLETELY CUT HER OFF FROM HIS LIFE HE HAD NO IDEA WHERE SHE WAS NOW, SO HE WASN'T EXACTLY SURE HOW TO REACT HE BUMPED INTO HER HERE ON CAMPUS.
*TO BE FURTHER DEVELOPED*

THEIR FRIENDSHIP WAS WEIRD. THEY WOULD BARELY TALK ON CASUAL TERMS, OR IF THEY BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER ON CAMPUS, ONLY A SIMPLE SHORT GREETING BEING EXCHANGED. BUT WHENEVER ONE OF THEM WAS FEELING LIKE , THEY'D CALL UP THE OTHER. SOMETIMES FOR , SOMETIMES JUST TO SIT OUT THERE IN THE ROOFTOP, ROLLING ONE UP AND TALKING ABOUT RANDOM STUFF. SOMETIMES THEY SHARED WHAT'S ON THEIR MIND, SOMETIMES THEY DIDN'T, IT ALL DEPENDED ON THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM AND HOW THEY WERE FEELING. NO ONE REALLY KNEW ABOUT THEIR CLOSE CONNECTION AND THEY LIKED IT THAT WAY. IT KINDA FELT LIKE AN ESCAPE TO BOTH OF THEM. IT WAS VERY PERSONAL, AND VERY CASUAL AT THE SAME TIME.

JUNHOE'S FRIEND HAS BEEN TALKING TO THIS GIRL THAT HE MET ON SOME RANDOM APP FOR A WHILE NOW, AND THEY FINALLY DECIDE TO MEET UP IN PERSON. AFRAID THAT THINGS MIGHT NOT GO AS WELL AS PLANNED OR TURN AWKWARD, THEY AGREE TO EACH BRINGING A FRIEND ALONG. TURNS OUT SAID THEY WERE MOST DEFINITELY NOT NEEDED, AS THEIR FRIENDS SEEMED TO BE HITTING IT OFF QUITE WELL. AND THAT'S HOW JUNHOE ENDS UP AT SOME RANDOM BAR/NIGHTCLUB SITTING ACROSS THIS PERSON HE'S NEVER MET, WHILE HIS FRIEND AND HIS GIRL EXCUSE THEMSELVES TO GO DANCING. OF COURSE, HE WASN'T ABOUT TO JUST SIT THERE ALL NIGHT QUIETLY SIPPING ON HIS DRINK, SO HE STRIKES UP A CONVERSATION WITH THIS 'STRANGER' WITH THE INTENTION OF JUST ENTERTAINING HIMSELF AND GETTING TO KNOW THE GIRL'S FRIEND IN CASE THINGS TURNED SERIOUS BETWEEN THE OTHER TWO. HE IS NOT VERY SURE HOW THAT HAPPENED, BUT NOT EVEN A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER HE FOUND HIMSELF WITH HIS BODY PRESSED AGAINST THE OTHER, THEIR LIPS SMASHED TOGETHER.

TW// HOMOPHOBIC BEHAVIOUR, INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA AND TOXIC MASCULINITY

AS FOR MOST OF JUNHOE'S 'FIRST TIMES', THE FIRST TIME JUN KISSED A GUY WAS AT A PARTY. THEY WERE ALONE AND YOUNG, AND HE WAS TOO DRUNK TO OVERTHINK IT. KNOWING IT WAS BEST TO KEEP IT A SECRET, NONE OF THEM EVER BROUGHT IT UP.
THE SECOND TIME THE SAME GUY TRIED TO KISS HIM, HE HAD BEEN SOBER, SO HIS FIRST REACTION WAS TO PUSH HIM AWAY HARSHLY. HE WASN'T GAY.
AFTER THAT, THEY DIDN'T SPEAK TO EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE, UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER AT ANOTHER PARTY, WHEN THEY FOUND THEMSELVES ALONE ONCE MORE, AND THIS TIME IT WAS JUNHOE WHO INITIATED THE KISS. BEING MUCH SOBER THAN HE HAD BEEN THE FIRST TIME, HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. IT WAS JUST EXPERIMENTING. IT WAS TO REMAIN AN ABSOLUTE SECRET. IT WOULD NOT TURN SERIOUS. THEY BOTH AGREED ON THAT. AND SO IT BECAME CASUAL TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP, WHICH JUN SAW AS AN ESCAPE THAT HE COULD USE, TO OTHERWISE IGNORE HIS INTEREST IN MEN. BUT WHEN THE OTHER GOT ATTACHED, AND TRIED TO BRING UP 'FEELINGS', JUN CALLED IT OFF AND NEVER CONTACTED HIM AGAIN. THAT IS UNTIL THEY MEET AGAIN AT UNIVERSITY NOW AND JUN IS NOT SURE HOW TO ACT AROUND HIM.

THERE IS THIS ONE CLOSE GIRL FRIEND OF JUNHOE THAT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND, AND YOU REALLY DON'T LIKE THE WAY JUN KEEPS PLAYFULLY FLIRTING WITH HER AND HITTING ON HER. EVEN IF HE DOESN'T REALLY MEAN IT. THE FACT THAT THERE IS A RUMOR GOING AROUND THAT SAYS THEY HAD A FLING DURING THEIR FIRST YEAR ISN'T REALLY HELPING THE SITUATION.
*OUR MUSES CAN BE SWITCHED IF JUN IS TAKEN AT SOME POINT*
*SHOULD BE AGREED WITH THE THIRD PARTY - GIRLFRIEND*

THE few FRIENDs THAT HAve ACCOMPANIED JUN SINCE HE WAS A KID. EVER SINCE HIS FIRST FEW EVENTS WITH HIS MOTHER, THey HAD ALWAYS BEEN THERE AS WELL AND SO THEY TALKED AND JOKED, AND EVENTUALLY BECAME FRIENDS, THEIR RELATIONSHIPs DEEPENING AS THE YEARS PASSED.
THEY WERE THE FIRST people JUNHOE EVER TOLD ABOUT HIS PARENTS, AND THE FIRST people TO KNOW MOST OF JUNHOE'S BEST KEPT SECRETS, so TO THIS DAY THEIR FRIENDSHIP REMAINS INTACT. IF IT SURVIVED HIGH SCHOOL, JUN WAS SURE THAT IT WOULD SURVIVE COLLEGE AS WELL, NO MATTER WHAT LIFE WAS TO THROW AT THEM.
*WE CAN PLOT SOME ANGST, MAYBE SOME FIGHT IF YOU WANT TO SPICE THIS ONE UP*
*can have more than one childhood friend as long as the plots differ from one another*

TWO OF JUNHOE'S CLOSEST FRIENDS GOT INTO A RELATIONSHIP.  AT FIRST, HE'D BEEN WORRIED THAT HE MIGHT END UP GETTING LEFT BEHIND, BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT WHAT HAPPENED. THEY WERE VERY OPEN ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT OFTEN. THEY SHARED EVERYTHING, AND AT SOME POINT, THE COUPLE TALK ABOUT TRYING OUT A . THE GIRL ADMITS TO NOT MINDING JOINING WITH ANOTHER GIRL AND AGREES THAT HE'D TRY IT WITH A GUY AS WELL. AND THAT LEADS UP TO JUNHOE SLOWLY ADMITTING IT OUT LOUD FOR THE FIRST TIME AS WELL, THAT HE WOULDN'T MIND BEING WITH A GUY EITHER. ONE THING LEAD TO ANOTHER AND THEIR CLOSE FRIENDSHIP TURNS TO A BIG EXPERIMENT. 
WORKING UP SOME RULES, THE OTHER TWO REMAIN A COUPLE WHILE JUN BECOMES THE THIRD PARTY, SLOWLY EXPERIMENTING. SOMETIMES IT'S JUST A KISS, SOMETIMES THEY TAKE IT FURTHER. SOMETIMES ALL THREE OF THEM, SOMETIMES JUST TWO, BUT WHENEVER JUN WAS INVOLVED WITH ONLY ONE, THE OTHER PART OF THE COUPLE SHOULD BE AWARE AND ALL CARDS SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE. THAT'S THEIR AGREEMENT.
OF COURSE SOMETHING WAS BOUND TO GO WRONG DOWN THE LINE, AND ONE OF THEM STARTS TO WONDER WHY IT COULDN'T JUST BE OFFICIAL? WHY COULDN'T THE THREE OF THEM JUST BE TOGETHER? AND THAT ENDS UP BEING THE DOWNFALL OF THEIR THREE-WAY RELATIONSHIP.
*THESE COULD BE USED FOR SEVERAL PLOTS THROUGHOUT THE TIMELINE*
*can be done with an existing couple*

 

tutoring (m/f) ╱ friendly/lighthearted ╱ taken (yoojung)

IF JUNHOE LIKES SOMETHING, HE'LL DO WELL AT THAT, HE'LL BE HARD WORKING AND GET GOOD RESULTS. IF HE DOESN'T? WELL, HE'S LAZY AND IT MIGHT JUST GO ALL WRONG.
ART SUBJECTS WERE A GOOD POINT FOR HIM, BUT BIOLOGY AND SCIENCE, MATH? FORGET THOSE... THANK GOD HE ONLY HAD TO TAKE A FEW ON HIS MAJOR, BUT THAT DID INCLUDE ENGLISH AND MATH, WHICH ARE DEFINITELY NOT TWO OF HIS STRONG POINTS.
USING THIS AS AN EXCUSE, JUNHOE ASKS YOU TO TUTOR HIM, OF COURSE IT'D BE PAID LESSONS SO YOU HAVE NO REASON TO DECLINE RIGHT? IN REALITY THOUGH, HE JUST WANTED TO GET TO KNOW YOU AND THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AN INTERESTING METHOD TO DO SO.
