personality

if you asked the people who emily song was, you'd probably get either 'who the hell?' or 'oh, that nerd that barely speaks?'. raised by extremely strict parents, emily is usually seen tobe as quiet, introverted, intelligent and calm. she doesn't talk unless necessary but when she does, it's nothing but the truth and more. she's blunt and doesn't have a filter which has caused her some trouble, but normally she's huddled in a corner reading. passionate and hardowrking, she knows that she has to do well in whatever she's involved in, which makes her a natural perfectionist. the girl is placid and stoic and if you can catch her with a smile you can consider yourself lucky. she's relaxed and calm even during very tense situations which helps calm some people.

the brunette isn't cold like you'd think her to be. she's pretty empathetic and is a great listener if you allow her to be. emily is caring in her own quiet ways but doesn't know how to express herself properly which causes misunderstandings. she's generally very kind and thoughtful to the people around her and avoids conflict as much as she can. she's responsible and mature for her age while simultaneously being socially inapt for her age. flirting, and things like that are so foreign to her that she doesn't understand when someone is trying to pull the moves on her.

emily is however extremely fearlful of new things and change but hides her emotions easily to mask the fear. she's pateint, and understanding, but if you get her angry, you'll probably regret that decidion immediatelybecause an angry emily is a very scary emily. she gets a little quirky at times with her habits and mannerisms but all in all she's still a twenty year old lady.

LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK

after 'the incident' that caused emily to move back from san francisco to her grandparent's house in soeul when she was sixteen, the girl never really did much outside of school. she was at the top of her class and eventually got a scholarship to korea university where she has been studying business administration for about a year now. her parents are still in san francisco, working. emily was locked away from a lot of exposure as a teenager as well as a young adult by her close minded grandparents. she doesn't have many friends; and mantains a strict schedule of work-school-home controlled by her grandmother. she doesn't mind the loneliness as she has a close relationship with her grandparents and likes the solidity but she's starting to feel the strain of the constant control especially since she recently turned twenty.

personality

known around korea university for being it's top flirt, haneul sees ladie's as a game. once he gets bored, he'll drop one girl like it's nothing. super suave, flirty and exceptionally charming (with the addition of his good looks and ability to sing) most people see him as a either dip and a jerk or a stud and a charmer. but behind that huge doucheness haneul is actually a thoughtful guy. he doesn't open up to people easily and puts on the jerk front to throw them off. he's caring and is sweet behind the front, though very sensitive and unsure. expectantly outgoing, he doesn't have many real friends but will protect anyone that he cares for; it'll take some digging to get to that point, but once you do, you'll see a huge difference in him. for easy reference, think marshall lee from gender swapped adevnture time.

relatonship

haneul constantly comes to 7/11 just for the sole purpose of seeing emily. why, you ask? because while other girls react to his flirting with at least a giggle or rejection - emily just doesn't react that way. she doesn't even realize that he's flirting with her, and it just interests haneul so much, he takes her up as a 'challenge'. and so he continues flirting with her, (while emily nonchalantly doesn't realize anything) though he doesn't expect to actually get to know her. they talk and eventually bond and become friends; hanging out in school together etc. they eventually care for each other and unknowingly haneul stops his flirtacious ways and focuses solely on emily, which scares him terribly. they start passing his flirting as jokes but really they aren't? emily doesn't know how to react to her own feelings because she hasn't felt that strongly about someone ever? by the end, they kiss and end up together.
