fashion
earth colours, for the most part. he doesn't change his clothes very often, at least, that what it seems to most people. he is the type to buy the same thing of something he likes. he usually likes to wear work clothes such as leather and cotton. browns, greens, and creams are what you may usually see him in.
— temperament
to many, jongin seems cold, serious, and uncaring. he doesn't speak much so if he is speaking to you, it is usually short and to the topic. however, it is usually because he sees most people as "business partners" and not as friends. if you do manage to get him to completely trust you and consider you a friend, he will be mischievous, a little whiny, and playful. he is very caring and loyal. however, if you do get on his bad side, there will be hell to pay.
likes
outdoors, nature, plants, the night sky, large bodies of clean water, but also rivers, food, dogs, dancing, hiking.
dislikes
cramped spaces, loud noises, city spaces, people who don't like dogs.
talents
although he doesn't know the name of many plants, he knows what they are and what they do. he is a herbalist, in a way, who can fix you up sooner than you can ask him, as long as you give him time to look for the plant in the greenhouse.

he's incredibly agile, strong, but flexible. he does not have a bulky body, as it would inhibit his movement. he can hunt things easily but also get away from things just as easy.
hobbies
his talent in reading seems to be a little more adolescent than most, but he is well enough off to read books about plants, fish, animals, and rocks. 

most of his hobbies are gardening. although he never had to do this when he lived with the old man and the wolves, he loves tending to the gardens that consist of flowers, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and the like.

he isn't amazing at cooking, but he likes to make certain things out of what comes from the garden. usually, they are inedible as a meal, but are really good for you and could be seen to some as medicine.
goals
for the most part, jongin wishes to live a quiet life. he's not completely sure if he wants to settle down and start a family or help chanyeol with pendray for the rest of life (he honestly wouldn't mind either, or both). but for now, he likes where he is.
fatal flaw
incredibly untrusting, to the point it can hinder his relationships greatly. he has trouble getting close to others, and he only considers chanyeol a friend now after 7 years of knowing each other and working together. he can work with you, but many find him intolerable with how "professional" or "cold" his demeanour is. he doesn't want to get close to people.
fears
his biggest fear is to be abandoned and betrayed. he fears being alone again, afraid, like he was in the forest. he fears loud noises, especially things like thunderstorms.

chapter one
the forest.
What is the first thing one sees when they are born? The face of their mother? The face of the doctor? The bright lights above them?
Jongin remembered seeing nothing. Awake was he at an age he didn't even know. His head hurt and he didn't remember anything. He was alone in the forest, with nothing but a bloody rock to his side and the green grass underneath him. He was alone, starving, and in immense pain. He could barely see the world around him, and when he tried to get up, he would just fall back down. Why was he here?
What felt like hours that could've been days, Jongin laid on that forest floor, until he heard rustling. Was it a predator about to kill him? In a way, he wasn't even angry, scared, frustrated. He just felt pain and he wanted so badly for it to end. He heard some sniffing at his ears, was it a wolf?
Once his eyes finally opened, a wolf was before him. Its eyes were golden and piercing through him. He expected the wolf to kill him, rip his body open and eat him. Instead, the wolf left. A few minutes later, the wolf came back, nudging some leaves to Jongin. Jongin was able to pick the leaf up, and almost out of pure instinct with no intuition whatsoever, he was able to eat the leaf. He felt a little relieved.
Soon after the wolf came, sitting next to Jongin and watching him, came a pack of wolves and a man. The man carried Jongin and brought him to a cave in the mountains, wrapping the wound at his head and nursing him. Jongin was out cold for most of that, but when he woke up, he finally met the man who saved him.
"who are you?"
The man didn't reply. Instead, he just smiled and gave Jongin some water.
The two lived in mostly silence. Jongin didn't mind it, but he wasn't silent like the man who saved him. Sometimes he would chat with him or with the wolves that found him, but he was quiet. The man and Jongin lived a good life, he was like a father to him. Jongin took a while to recover until eventually, he was helping the man with his daily chores. Hunting, foraging, taking care of the wolves. Jongin loved it until a few years later, the man had died. He went away one morning and didn't come back. Sometimes he would do this to hunt, but he didn't take any of the wolves with him, and a week later, Jongin and the wolves found him dead.
Jongin wasn't so sad that he grieved so much that it killed him too. After spending so long together, he knew that the man would've wanted Jongin to thrive. He and the wolves thrived as much as they could together, but their forest was getting smaller and smaller.
 
chapter two
the house.
jongin acts like he doesn't remember these days, but in reality, he does. he remembers bits and pieces and he remembers who hit him that day in the forest.
before jongin was born, he was hated. he was the son of a gardener, the gardener to one of the most prestigious nobles in the land. but it wasn't just the gardener, no, it was the noble's daughter and the gardener. a classic story of love and betrayal. jongin was accepted by his mother, somewhat, just because he was the only heir to the family name. the noble himself decided to let jongin do what he liked around the house, and jongin was most like his father, in love with nature. and while life was good for jongin, he had the education of a noble but kept secret like the gardener's son, there was another secret his father had. he was a wizard.
and naturally, so was jongin.
when jongin's grandfather found out, he was ordered to be brought out into the forest by his mother and father. it wasn't out of the ordinary for jongin to be brought out like this, but it was usually just his mother.
when jongin turned around, he saw the pained face of his father as he hit him across the head with a rock. jongin saw black after that.
 
chapter three
the city.
It wasn't until the forest was completely taken over by the city nearby, made into high-rises and parking lots. Jongin lost his home, his family. The wolves had run off or were killed by the workers. Jongin was now someone just living on the street, alone and starving.
He had nothing else to live for, so he would steal. He would pick people's pockets, take their food from their stands. He would fight high schoolers and take their uniforms, using them as clothes for himself or selling them to make money for food. He lived in horrible conditions, that is until he met another man.
He wasn't much older than Jongin, who was nearing the end of his teenagehood. Jongin had no idea how old he was yet, but he knew he was getting older. He looked a lot like the other boys in the city that were still in high school. But he found a man that was probably a little older than him, who was the only one to catch him picking his pocket. Frustrated, Jongin kept trying. He was angry, the man never reprimanded him, never yelled at him, chased him, reported him to the authorities. He just had a goofy smile on his face, and it was getting on Jongin's nerves.
Soon enough, the man was picking Jongin's pockets too. He seemed to think of this as some sort of game. The hell! Jongin was trying to survive, and this man was just wasting his time. Jongin was so angry, but he was humbled. Maybe the man could teach him. He wasn't exactly mean to Jongin or seemed to hate him.
The man introduced himself as Chanyeol. The two became friends, relating to each other well. While Jongin was with the man in the woods, he had figured out he had magical powers. They were strange, varying from spells to knowledge on potions. The man in the woods was magical himself, using the potion he made to save Jongin's life. Chanyeol was magical too, on his way to build the castle.
 
chapter four
the castle.
Jongin wanted to embrace this part of his life, despite knowing how horrid other people saw those of Jongin's kind. Maybe he and Chanyeol could make something new together. A new home. A new family.

park chanyeol.
relationship
best friend.
he found jongin right before he started to make the castle, now, the pair runs the castle together, for the most part. chanyeol is probably the only one jongin trusts completely, even with his own life. there is a possibility he is afraid that chanyeol might betray him one day, like the one who betrayed him in the forest. he dares not tell anyone this though, including and especially chanyeol.
