ok so dongwook was found abandoned inside a coin locker when he was just a newborn by a mobster trying to complete an exchange. instead of taking the newborn to a local orphanage, the mobster adopted dongwook as his own son and the rest was history !!

“does dongwook want to find his biological pa--” NOPE. 

anyway dongwook grew up in a,,,, unconventional environment i guess ?? he’s aware of the things his father would get himself into and he hangs out with the other kids whose parents are in the same mob. it’s full of violence but also full of love at the same time

in the mob, dongwook took up loan sharking just like his father. he would charm people into borrowing money from him and wouldn’t hesitate to hurt them if they don’t pay up bc it rly be like that

about a year ago, his best friend left the mob to have a regular life with his girlfriend and dongwook, being a Disaster, decided to follow suit bc what was the point of staying if his best friend was leaving smh

ok lowkey he had a huge hopeless crush on his best friend but just kept that to himself for his whole life

( this is so sad alexa play please don’t by k.will )

dongwook thought he could fix his life like his friend but oh boy,,, he was WRONG. he was just........ too used to his old lifestyle. addicted, probably. he likes the drama of it all

being a regular ol’ mechanic at his father’s shop was just too boring for him. he’s technically not part of the gang anymore ( just associated w them ) but continues his own loan sharking business without interfering with his old gang’s activities out of respect

nowdays he’s just trying to figure out what he truly wants for himself since he spent his whole life just doing what people around him were doing

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ let’s introduce you to wang jihae, they are a twenty-four year old park jimin lookalike living in daemapo apartment complex. this particular cismale has been living in seoul for two years and has gained the title of being the rose-colored glasses during that time, which is probably because of their communicative + self-indulgent, yet unstable + escapist tendencies. not to mention he currently works as a baker, and can been seen hanging around teachaicha in their free time.

wenli was a pastry cook known by her extraordinary wedding cakes ; having her work well recognized in hong kong, it wasn’t long before she wanted to grow in value and this was how she ended up at conferences all over asia. in a more special one, she met kim jongsuk, a son of a respected ceo in seoul, and then began their short love story.

jongsuk was about to take over his father’s company, and wenli needed to get back to hong kong when they discovered the pregnancy. and that was how jihae was born : in a not very conventional family, but it was what he had and appreciated the most. although far away, his father never lacked & his mother took cared for him as a good mama bear that she was.

grew in the middle of the flour. literally. his mother decided to take root after a few years and bought her first bakery specializing in wedding cakes and it was exactly from there that jihae’s love was born. he wanted to make brides thrill with the cakes he’d create in the future on the happiest days of their lives.

it wasn’t long before his father announced he’d get married. and to everyone’s surprise, it was wenli who proposed to make the wedding cake. jihae didn’t know, but if he suspected that this would be his last event closer to his mother in a healthy way he’d have made the most of it. after that, they received a diagnosis of breast cancer. it was a battle for a year and six months before the woman lost it bravely.

jihae didn’t let himself be shaken by it, he had his mourning time, but he knew his mother wouldn’t want him to focus too much on his pain. so he decided to occupy his mind, finishing high school with merit and asking his father for an academic exchange in france, to improve his knowledge. after six months very well spent, he spent some time traveling the usa & then decided that his new home would be : seoul.

 ➭  ❝    𝒷𝓊𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓅𝓇𝑒𝓈𝑒𝓃𝓉  ..

after moving back to seoul, jihae with the help of his father managed to sell his mother’s belongings, such as the bakery and the house they lived in ( only saving some of the woman’s favorite clothes and jewels as souvenirs ). part of the money he donated to a hospital specializing in curing cancer.

lived with his father and his family for a few months, but they knew it was temporary. since then jihae wanted to buy a place to turn into his own baker, and he knew it was a risk to make it still so young, but he needed to follow his mother’s dream —– and his own dream.

has a very good relationship with his father & his small family, especially his younger step-sister, whom he loves to make candies to and spend time with her whenever he can.

➭  ❝    𝒽𝑜𝓌𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉'𝓈 𝒾𝓃𝓈𝒾𝒹𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓂𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈 ..

jihae can be classified as someone half-outgoing and half-introverted. he’ll keep quiet in situations he isn’t used to, but around those he’s comfortable with, it’s like a big ass party !

if you want to label him, however, mom friend is probably the best to go.

there’s no bad mood with him, he’s always willing to help his friends and family. and also those who need it. can’t see a street dog that he wants to bring it home, even though he knows he can’t.

despite being very good in the patisserie, kitchen isn’t his forte. complex dishes he prefers to leave for the take out app on his phone.

a flamboyant even if i don’t think that’s the correct term ?? by being raised only by his mother, he grew in greater contact with his sensitive side & giving reason more to the feeling than the concrete ideas inside his mind.

doesn’t have a sexual orientation ? like,, he respects everyone and is fond of getting to know about it, but he doesn’t feel in the place to put himself inside a box like that. he likes the people he likes, he does what he does and that’s it.

tho he’s extremely organized, has a plan for everything and states that everything that happened had a plan and if not, it wasn’t right. doesn’t believe in luck.

workaholic ( !! )

hates people telling him what to do. he knows how to respect opinions, but he’s hard-headed enough to insist on his own idea before giving up and saying he was wrong ( most of the time, he won’t be wrong, so he never needs to show his stubborn side anyways ).

although very sensitive, this side of him is kept shut down. always with a rehearsed smile decorating his face at all times.

l o v e s make up !

if he sleeps at least four hours in one night that’s like a lot inside his head.

is a volunteer in a hospital for children with cancer, and believes that this is one of the means that helps him recover from losing his mother.

can talk all night about literally everything.

let’s introduce you to DAO MING ‘KANG’ FENG MIAN, they are a TWENTY EIGHT year old WANG JACKSON lookalike living in HOTEL YONGSAN. this particular CISMALE has been living in Seoul for TWO AND A HALF YEARS and has gained the title of being THE INTANGIBLE CONCEPT during that time, which is probably because of their SCRUPULOUS, OBSERVANT yet DOMINEERING, AGGRESSIVE tendencies. not to mention HE currently works as a RESTAURANT OWNER & HEIR, and can been seen hanging around DONGMAEMUN DESIGN PLAZA in their free time. 

MINI MENTIONS OF ASSAULT AND MISCARRIAGE, BUT I DON’T GO INTO DETAIL.

right off the bat, kang’s real name is feng mian but literally no one calls him that now other than his grumpy grandfather. he introduces himself as kang and likes to be addressed as such.

he was born in shanghai to zhang wei ( ceo and director of the london headquarters of the dao ming corp. ) and jinghua ( a former international high fashion model and current cookbook author ). kang doesn’t have any siblings, so he grew up close to his cousins.

the dao ming family business is the dao ming corporation, which is the largest family owned corporation in shanghai and makes the dao ming family the wealthiest in china, with an estimated net worth of $58.9b, and it constantly rises everyday.

the dao ming corporation mostly focuses on financials, luxury real estate, and construction. the current ceo and director is kang’s grandfather, but when he passes away, then kang’s father will take over the company as a whole and kang will lead the london headquarters.

jinghua had a pretty difficult pregnancy with kang ( which is why he’s an only child ), and it was expected that she would have a miscarriage, but kang ended up coming a few weeks earlier than his due date. her pregnancy had already been a public spectacle since their relationship & marriage was already followed and scrutinized, so jinghua and zhang wei decided to raise kang in london. he was 3 when they made the move.

the family settled in the affluent hampstead, london village and kang grew up pretty spoiled. his parents always got him whatever he wanted, but they also weren’t the kind of parents to pass their son off on nannies. despite their own busy careers, zhang wei and jinghua were always there for important events, to tell him goodnight, and greet him when he came home from school.

during his teenage years, as most do, kang went through his rebellious stage. he started not listening and being an overall little dick, but he made sure to bring home the best grades. he knew from a young age that he’d someday be doing his father’s job, and kang hates feeling like a failure, so he always did his best.

when he was sixteen, kang was gifted with a porsche 911 that he would always use to hotbox with his friends. kang got into smoking as a way to calm his nerves ( since he does have generalized anxiety disorder ), but he also liked to do it with his friends because that was their way of hanging out with one another.

fast forward and kang went off to the university of cambridge thanks to his incredible grades on his a-levels ( i hope i got that right i’m a dumb american ), and three and a half years later, kang graduated early and was gifted with the car that would ruin his life for a couple of years: a snow white bentley bentayga.

it’s the summer following kang’s graduation and he goes to a manchester united game with his friends. of course, kang had been drinking ( don’t worry, he wasn’t driving ), but they drove his car to the game. when leaving, kang’s car had been scraped badly by someone who was backing out of his parking space. instead of kang just exchanging insurance info and going to get his car fixed .... he ended up getting into a really bad fight with the stranger.

his friends attempted to get him to stop, and once the police arrived, kang turned his drunken assault on the police. thus, kang was arrested. he was originally charged with public intoxication, assault and battery, and assault on a police officer, but thanks to his fancy pants lawyers and his parents, it was talked down to two years on the charges of assault and assault on an officer.

so, kang spent two years in federal prison.

following his release, kang returned home, but his grandfather saw kang as nothing more than a huge, huge disappointment. he wanted zhang wei and jinghua to cut kang off financially from the family, but they weren’t going to do that to their son. kang spent about three months at home, and during that time he decided he wanted to open a restaurant in seoul.

his parents were supportive, and kang had always loved to cook, so he figured that the restaurant would keep him out of trouble and keep him busy until it was time for him to take over his dad’s portion of the family business.

once he got soba up and running, kang made the move to seoul full time two and a half years ago. over the course of those two years, kang settled into the presidential suite of hotel yongsan and slowly started getting tattoos. he currently has a full sleeve on his left arm, and for now he’s finished, but that’s mostly bc his mom smacked tf out of the back of his head when she saw it for the first time.

PERSONALITY

so, kang’s a momma’s boy even if he doesn’t want to admit it. you know that tumblr post about the boy who cursed really loud, his phone rang and like a second later, in the softest voice he said “hi mama”? that’s kang in a nutshell.

overall, though, he’s a really antagonistic guy. he’s content with being alone, and he doesn’t really like when people play games or joke around too much. all in all, he’s the kind of guy who doesn’t handle his emotions well and he doesn’t really like to have his emotions played with, so just.. don’t press his buttons.

positively, he’s really into a routines and having things in order, so he might panic if something falls out of whack and he doesn’t know how to fix it.

whenever he’s really upset, though, kang will completely shut people out and either spend his time in the kitchen at soba or he’ll shut himself off in his suitte. he likes to give himself time to be alone and it’s kind of his way of managing his anger -- sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. it all truly depends on how angry he was at that moment.

he swears a lot, skips breakfast all the time, and has a bad habit of stress eating amongst other habits. he can be really sarcastic and he doesn’t like letting people in, so good luck getting his can of worms open ! uh, he barely sleeps and wakes up at sunrise, but somehow manages to not look like a zombie so that’s we’re at fam !

Let’s introduce you to ( Choi Miyeon ), they are 19 years old ( Kim Yerim ) lookalike living in ( Hwangto Studios ). This particular ( female ) has been living in Seoul for ( 5 years ) and has gained the title of being ( The Flower Girl ) during that time, which is probably because of their ( hardworking and loving yet dependant and anxious ) tendencies. Not to mention ( she ) currently works as ( a florist ), and can been seen hanging around ( the Dreaming Tree ) in their free time.

born in jinhae, south korea in the summer of nineteen ninety-five right before a young couple was due to go off to college - rou namin was hardly planned by any stretch of the imagination. still, determined to make it work for their new family unit, her parents worked several jobs and lived in a studio apartment. both of her parents loved her with all of their hearts and regardless of how terrible of a day it was, coming home to both each other and their daughter always made them forget about their day.

after her parents graduated, they picked up even more jobs, struggling to find jobs that fit their degrees in both primary school education and engineering. namin never knew about her family’s struggles growing up though, always making up elaborate stories on why she couldn’t have something, or why her home was so different than her friends (and she was willing to tell them to anyone that would listen to them.) as soon as she could write, she’d write down stories upon stories. journals would fill up within a week with stories, quickly resulting in a bookshelf almost entirely for them.

aged eleven, her parents were finally able to find jobs for their degrees, all the way in seoul. packing up the family, they promptly moved there when the school year ended. in an attempt to make sense of leaving everything she’s known behind, she throws herself into writing. which quickly turns into writing small fanfictions online, which turns into short stories, and i think you get where this is going.

by age sixteen, she published her first book. while it wasn’t a best seller by any means, it gained a decent following on the internet. slowly, she started getting more and more books published, eventually trying to branch out and write lgbt+ stories (which definitely gained traction) .by the time she graduated school, she had sold one of her books to become a movie and she got dat MONEY BITCHES !!!!!!

lowkey, she blew a good amount of that money cause she stupid n vain but whatever

she literally just keeps publishing books and keeps getting money so now she rich and wants to be a sugar momma

wanted connections

i want dat gay shit

i want dat angst

Let’s introduce you to ( Kang Jaewon ), they are ( 22 ) years old ( Yoo Kihyun ) lookalike living in ( Yangseo Studios ). This particular ( male ) has been living in Seoul for ( 2 months ) and has gained the title of being ( The Chaebol ) during that time, which is probably because of their ( intelligent and diplomatic yet distant and clumsy ) tendencies. Not to mention ( he ) currently works as a ( pro gamer ), and can been seen hanging around ( Boramae Park ) in their free time.

His biography and his character sheet are posted !

HISTORY

born in cheyenne, wyoming to a seventeen year old erik johnson and an eighteen year old jeon minsun- it’s an understatement to say celeste wasn’t planned. minsun had been sent to america with her father in attempts to grow his business to america two years prior to the pregnancy. once that business was done, minsun begged to stay in america and live with one of her friends until she could graduate there. and he allowed it and hohoho, she was prego the next year.

erik’s parents had hardly wanted celeste- he was due to go off into the marines, which would leave his parents with the burden of raising yet another child. so, without telling her parents, minsun simply brought celeste over to south korea. her parents were furious the moment that they saw the baby, making minsun live with them and go to school within a hundred mile radius ( her plan was to go to school in busan. )

they raised the child as if celeste’s grandmother had just adopted another baby- which meant growing up in a stupidly wealthy household of two very busy lawyers and being taken care of by nannies. this lead to issues very early on in their life. cutting their hair, ruining the furniture, destroying plates- they were a hellion desperate for genuine attention from their parents.

as they grew older, celeste proved to have more interest in the ... messier things in life. playing in the dirt, running through mud, dancing in the rain, you name it- they probably did it. this curious and adventurous nature would prove to be a downfall in school. unable to sit still in a classroom for hours on end, she wouldn’t be able to focus for more than an hour or two at most before she’d become distracted again and get in trouble.

everything relating to space and the sky quickly caught celeste’s attention in life. drawing and making up stories about dancing with stars, skiing around mars, and having tea with the sun filled up their free time. it was because of this, that they’d ultimately end up falling in love with science.

it’s age nine when celeste’s guardians die in a car crash, ultimately resulting in minsun now being able to try and be the mother that she wanted to be. it was hard, trying to help a nine year old who couldn’t fathom that something like this would ever happen to them. it’s because of this, that minsun would ultimately move her and celeste to seoul so they could get a fresh start.

school had become easier to celeste now- the urge to go outside was no longer as large as it once was and they kept their nose down and clean. it wasn’t until late middle school years that they finally found their group of friends that brought them out of their shell. the same group of friends stayed in their life throughout high school and ultimately helped to make them the person they are today.

after graduation, celeste moved in with one of their friends to help take care of them. floating from job to job, it took celeste a few times until they finally found a place that they wanted to work at- a local record shop.
