HELLO !! itâs velvet (bejaeyoung, beyuwol, beclaudine). i dropped betouma to bring you⌠BAEK SEONGHAN. upright, straightlaced, studious, hardworking, a classic good boy, someone who seemingly has his life put togetherâthatâs definitely how he presents himself, thatâs how he wants to be perceived. but thereâs always more to it.
under the cut iâll be listing the need-to-knows about this demon in my head, along with a few plot ideas that might start things up! iâm always down to brainstorm though and iâd love to hear what you have in mind too. LIKE THIS POST if youâd like me to approach you for plotting purposes! i also have discord upon request if itâs needed. Â

whatâs up with him?
growing up, heâs probably the picture perfect son and student. class rep, stugov, hardworking with all the good grades. he has to keep up with the familyâs reputation after all, thereâs a lot of expectations on his shoulders
but if you havenât realized yet, he grew up to be a grade-s two-faced mean girl. polite and friendly smiles all around while he judges the hell out of you and everyone! if this was really the movie then he 100% has a color-coded and neatly organized scrapbook-style burnbook of his own thatâs written in pretty cursive so that heâs the only one who can read it. but heâll keep up with the nice façade because he knows that is whatâll benefit him in the long run
he doesnât know who his dad is, and most of his childhood was spent in secrecy because his mom, an idol that was forced to retire due to depleting popularity, had him after her career took a hit because of substance abuse
but eventually it does come out that she had a child. just not with who, nor was details of seonghanâs identity ever properly released to the public. this, of course, lessens her popularity even further
itâs safe to say he never really witnessed any sort of affection in his household for a long time. that is, until he started being old enough to impress his mom with the beginnings of musical talent. she wants a perfect replica of herself, wants someone who can reach her heights, of course. she wants to be able to show off to the world thatâlook, not only did she make it as an idol the boy that she raised is also on his way to becoming the perfect idol too! tale as old as time
seonghan didnât mind much, just went along with it because music is pretty fun, dabbled in a few instruments... but he doesn't think of himself as particularly talented or gifted in that area
he venture into singing not too long after, then joining his churchâs choir as a soprano and began vocal training. his mother has always been religious and devout christians... but, seonghan personally identifies as agnostic, ironically
his mother, long past her peak, slowly faded into obscurity. (tw familial death, murder) â in an attempt to regain her old days, she begs her manager to give her one last fanmeet. to save cost security was loosened considerably, and they didnât think that would be a problem because her fans dwindled significantly over time. however, she ran into a stalker, and the stalker took her life â (end tw)
seonghan doesnât know how to feel about it, really. his mother had never been loving to him. the complete opposite really, but it was a traumatizing experience as a whole. and now, heâs all alone
he still has those ambitions, because music and the stage is all he ever knows and heâs aware that the stage should be where he ends too. but he doesnât want go out like his mom did, he will be perfect in the way she couldnât be
so, he broke away from his mother, her weaknesses, and is trying to make it on his own. instead of jumping into his motherâs old company and taking her path, he ventured on his own
and thatâs where heâs at now! doing everything in his power to achieve those dreams. regardless of what he has to do, the strings he has to pull behind closed doors, the fake smiles and boring conversations he has to put up with to get his name out there
he was formally adopted by his motherâs manager some time after her passing, and lived with her up until he moved for university. her manager used to cover for his mom and say that seonghan was hers, so it felt like the natural step
he also wants to know who his dad isâand all the information he has right now is that heâs somewhere in the entertainment industry, which is more reason for him to rise in that scene too
now onto some potential plots!
he was in public school up until high school, where he transferred to sopa. so, friends from then! iâd imagine heâd at least be known, considering his background and how active he would have been with stugov and extracurricular stuff
university friends! heâs very studious and hardworking despite everything and a great multitasker with the most detailed notes so being acquainted with him for all that can be pretty beneficial too
friends who donât know what heâs really like at all, who only knows the seonghan that is a bit of a nerd, who takes the cleanest notes, who had been designated the friend who takes care of the drunks in their friend group. he fooled you and youâre none the wiser
i think one or two people have probably broken away from a friendship with him because there has always been something off about seonghan. how he shares very little, how he maneuvers conversations almost meticulously, all the small things most people donât notice
alternatively, something like the above but you stuck it out because you want to find out more. you donât cut off the string of friendship and decide to play his game to see what happens
someone who may know of his momâs story, or at least what the public knew. information about his ties to his own mom is really muddy, but lately he doesnât care to hide it
...fellow church friends? he, unfortunately, sees most people who religiously attend as people with some sort of herd mentality and are even more hypocritical than he is. hence why heâs agnostic now. i think if he knew someone similar to him or someone whoâs the complete opposite itâd make for interesting conversations (with a few subtle jabs, maybe)
he just seems to have it all: perfect life, perfect future. you hate him for it, and he puts no effort into correcting you! because heâd rather be seen that way than show any sort of vulnerability. plus, if youâre being antagonistic for those reasons, if he does nothing itâll just make him look like the better person. thatâs how his brain works
an ex of sorts? he was probably the picture perfect boyfriend who took care of you and was very attentive. the truth was that he was curious about romantic relationships and decided to try it out with you, but he got bored and broke it off. he was probably nice about it and âitâs not you, itâs meâ or used university as an excuse, but the break up might have always felt a little strange to you
friends who drag him to parties, because thatâs inevitable! internally he hates to go but he will because he knows thatâs one of the best ways to make connections. he doesnât drink much and heâs mostly sat on the couch reading or finalizing his notes but he (begrudgingly) ends up helping out those who are drunk out of their minds to look good too
music-based friends... people he sang with, played music with, all that fun stuff! he also has synesthesia, which might be interesting to talk about
he lives and breathes coffee and iâd assume he has tried most of the coffeeshops within the area so if you work in coffeeshops or are ALSO a frequent visitor, then maybe we can do something with that
also... the waterbomb event!! pls speedrun with me <3
thatâs all i have for now! sorry this became REALLY LONG but if you reached this far thank you??? like i said before iâd love to brainstorm too and iâll be down with anything that you can come up with! thatâs a promise. i am super easy to please
