parents went bankrupt during a dip in the economy, some rough times & all that jazz

eventually saved up enough for a loan

now they run a convenience store near her old high school 

she used to help out and all but only on the weekends cause she’s embarrassed and doesn’t want any run-ins with fellow classmates 

she loves her parents though don’t get me wrong

sought out a part time job @ the laundry mr. baek runs and by ~ fate ~ and all she ended up getting involved w the crew (details to be fleshed out later)

used to be head of a gucci gang gang girl gang back in hs so she’s got some contacts still if she needs something

but eh she’s kinda over it now 

her parents are unaware of the shady things so pls don’t tell thx (also no cops, be cool)

past 

grew up in a wealthy family. parents divorced when she was young and her father grew distant from her (for reasons unknown until later). mother then married an old lover. 

her stepfather isn’t a great man tbh. a corrupt businessman w mob connections. taught minseo how to shoot a gun, spoilt her when her father refused to speak to her. 

mother died in a car crash when she was sixteen. cue the teenage rebellion & smothering grief with violence.

her precision in shooting + her stepfather’s connections got her recruited by yuripa when she was eighteen. 

elder brother worked for smpa. but what use was fighting for justice? it ended up with him shot dead in an ambush when she was twenty-one.

*kill bill sirens* found out her stepfather had her mother’s car messed with, faulty breaks caused her fatal crash. he did it to inherit her money & family company, greedy to the bone. minseo would’ve put a bullet in his head but (#plot twist) he’s her biological father (as if she hadn’t suffered enough lmao). turns out her mother cheated on her first husband with him. 

current 

is cynical & disillusioned with life as she knows all too well how money = power, how the corrupt keep rising through the ranks in life, unpunished despite their sins. 

works as a hitman for yuripa. is loyal, but not to the extent that she’d die for yuripa. she serves her self interest first and foremost. 

could work more for a higher rank but she’s content with her position. 

may seem polite & sweet on the surface, but is ruthless & calculating af. likes mind games, exploiting weakness, picking apart people to see what makes them tick. 

pro liar 

killing is her speciality. no gun? no problem. knows too many other ways to kill. 

can easily compartmentalise her emotions + views killing as just a job, part of the reason why she succeeds $$$$

dw she isn’t some raging sadistic murderer - only kills when she’s paid to. unless you hurt those she genuinely cares about... 

till this day she hates herself + feels guilty for not avenging her mother. as much of an asshole her biological father is, he still cares her for and raised her when everyone else was gone. 

actually has a soft heart. just distrustful + guarded bc of her messed up family history. 

runs on adrenaline and alcohol and meditational music 10 hour loop

coffee is no lifeline of hers, that stuf be bitter af.

organization = key to happiness

severely allergic to all furry objects. keep that rug away

raised in a catholic orphanage most of childhood

orthopedic surgeon so now u have someone to professionally apply that bandaid ;^)

sleep? what’s that?

wiLD about drinking games and tv show trivia 

empty apartment most of the time, doesn’t mind when someone needs to crash but please clean up afterwards 

looks like could kill you but is a cinnamon roll

the type of silent that stares at you for + seconds and then begins to sterilize the table

has done several transplants for the organ trade herself, is game for doing it again so don’t mess wit her but at the same time pls do

creepy? more like Loving™ ;)

yall makes Big Bank, planned to boot after finishing residency but stays cus...it’s fun :(

a definite sadist. thinks that she can comfort you by administering pain...,, don’t come to her for emotional support the most she can offer is “okay” 

that being said, frequently glares and looks like she hates everyone ( resting bitch face ) but really just wants to fulfill her noona dreams 

the most petty type of angry. will stoop as low as to silly string ur car for replacing whole milk for lactaid 

at the same time quite emotionally detached except with the few people she’s grown to deeply care for

always appreciates free stuff

oh jewon aka smpa’s chief inspector aka no face’s oldest child aka the “trash oppa”.... yeah... he’s that guy...

such a troublemaker at younger age, which eventually leads to the indicent that could have ended much worse for the knight... in his defense it was never meant to end up quite that way but blame is still on him > packs his bags and he is off to boarding school as a lesson a punishment

returns home with a little bit of a changed persona, and maybe for a moment it was something no face had expected/ hoped would happen but jewon surprises everyone when he announces his refusal for the throne and that instead, he is leaving for the knpu

which is basically a big “fuck you” to dear old papa oh

bitterness runs deep, resentment runs even deeper - holds a major grudge against his old man 

and so, is determined to reduce his empire to dust :’)))

enlists, meets the faith, graduates from knpu. next: smpa, where he climbs the ranks and now sits on the position of the chief inspector

work work and more work... what can he say, he is very devoted to his job but sometimes he should just chill... (like rly. take a day off sometime )

the world’s best big brother award goes to... not him, obviously... but contrary to what others might think, he has never... well, disliked his little siblings. blames on the circumstances but finds no actual need to apologize. makes sense? didn’t think so

does not keep any contact with family, expect maybe mama oh but that is a bit on the scarce side as well

looks like he could kill you but is actually (maybe) a cinnamon roll who could also possibly kill you :))))

jewon in suits? jewon in suits. finds casual wear just as comf though

logic / reason > feelings

here is his profile / trivia 

lee yeonju (formerly known as lee suyeon) / 24 / bodyguard (for??????anyone who wants to take her up for this pLS) and (sometimes) drug dealer working under yuripa

kind of estranged from her family, parents are dead, uncle is too shady to keep in contact with (so she moved away tbh n just changed her name), older brother @nckeon is kind of distant (in fact they havent talked to each other in years and she doesnt know how to even begin a convo with him anymore)

grew up in a lower-middle class family and attended the local high school 

because she was pretty she got along with everyone nicely (and then was also picked out to be a drug runner by a yuripa drug dealer)

from then > ran drugs to the prestigious private high school nearby > attended a bunch of house parties > got hooked onto the products herself > started dealing > made a SHITTON of money > moved away from home > ended up joining yuripa officially > moved from dealer to bodyguard eventually

there are some blanks to fill in here tbh, minor details really — krav maga/muay thai/mma classes she’s taken throughout the years. what makes her a good bodyguard(ish) lies in the fact that shes lowkey batshit though (crackheads, man), has a keen eye, not afraid of bloodshed!!! (mostly) 

plus, she always has really good coke 

(also doesn’t help that she’s conventionally pretty and unassuming as a woman)

that being said she DOES show up to work sometimes high or hung over but no one’s died on her watch yet so... we good

A PART OF THE CHEMICAL X SUBPLOT

so yea she’s kind of guilt ridden right now bc a friend died and yk survivor’s guilt

which ONLY serves to make her party more do drugs more make more bad decisions

girl is going down in flames stg

@ PERCOCET41 on all forms of social media if you’re looking for a hookup!! pfp is shippo from inuyasha 

generally a nice girl arent all party girls when they are running high on fumes???

shes kinda fucked up but also arent we all

plots wise —i really REALLY would love someone for her to be in charge of safety wise (ya she might suck but they wont die i swear) and then... i think that’s pretty much it for ideas i got in mind kshfsh hahaha

phoebe kim: 18, full time mechanic at mr. baek’s quick ‘n clean by day, parkouring errand girl and clean up crew member by night 

came to seoul when she’s around 8-9. starts getting into street punk bzns by the age of 11 and it’s just petty little kid stuff with pickpocketing and vandalism of minor property with her tiny kid gang 

meets the legendary errand guy mr. baek when she’s 13 and trying to fish out his ratty wallet but fate is funny like that 

eventually trains and introduces her to this seedy line of work, and while its high risk its also highkey fun and at the very least she’s not making bank by doing boring jobs like babysitting

also thanks to mr. baek she finally gets someone who she can call mom :’))) who knows what pheebs does because she too used to be an errand girl once upon a time

real sad about the cancer diagnosis of her teach though hence why she’s giving quick ‘n clean her absolute 100% to keep it in tip top shape

at a point in her life where hacked off heads and feet don’t bother her: only complaint is the smell of the chemicals when she gotta go home and wash her hair smh

chirpy and intuitive, easy to get along with, but also very impulsive  

knack for pulling things apart and putting them back together

when sending out correspondence to clients, she marks it with a stylized S that looks more like an ampersand so they know it’s her and the job is done

currently trying to figure out how to do nice makeup because its long overdue

has a cute little floating hoverboard that she gets around with on and off the job

a romantic (but is in denial about it)

hoop earrings enthusiast

skatepark frequenter

choi seunghee: 34, former u.n. diplomat turned chef and owner of half past twelve. took over for her father as he left her the establishment in his will 

past: birth, childhood, career

dad was a former mob boss who ran operations in mokpo; turf war complications + his inevitable arrest led to baby hee, her older sister and their mom to be relocated

mom’s death + sister taking her studies abroad left seunghee to be sent to boarding school and couch surfing during breaks 

lowkey highkey felt unwanted :’( may or may not have carried over as some issues she now deals with in her love life 

decided she wanted out / staying in korea doesn’t seem like her best bet to leading a life with some form of purpose so she took the first chance she could to go to the states

got her undergrad degree and masters in international relations, picked up by the u.n. and spent nearly a decade going to different countries. really put some things regarding diplomacy / political crises / human rights into perspective

dad got released from prison and seunghee wanted to visit him but work got in the way

prompted to return to korea when she finds out he’d suddenly passed away and ended up missing the funeral rites

present: half past twelve, personality 

doing her best to carry on the her dad’s work though a lot of it may...or may not have to do with remedying that guilt she’d felt for not trying to see him one last time

with how customers basically acknowledge her as the femme!papa choi safe to say she’s doin’ a swell job rn

can literally cook up anything: u name it, she’ll make it if the ingredients are in stock

intimidating as hell at a glance because she hardly ever seems to talk, but in actuality quite gentle and understanding. on the flip side, very firm and hard to persuade

soft spot for the kiddies that come in (who get to eat for free woohoo)

plays oldies all the time and only heads over to joule when they do throwback thursdays

swears she can hold her liquor (she can’t)

considers herself #cultured for all the traveling she’s done
