step two: sell yourself *

CHOSEN » The optimism

PERSONALITY » 
- optimistic : Seul is a jumble of positive. She is the one that keeps the girls hopes and dreams alive. without her optimism, seul wouldn't have gone to college for pastry arts; she wouldn't have followed her dream. no matter what, she's gonna stick to the positive. She's even positive towards her rivals/enemies. if she's in a competition of some sort, she'll cheer on her opponents as much as she'll cheer herself. She's a good sport and definitely not a sore loser. Though, as optimistic she can be, Seul's optimism can die pretty quickly. Her optimism is fueled by her dreams and fantasy. When the people around her wake  her up back into reality, she gets discouraged and feels like she can't do it anymore. But thanks to her firends, they help her find the light again.
- motherly : Seul isn't just a mother, but also a sister and best friend. She's the person who will keep your secrets, stay by your side and be ther when you need someone the most. she's got your back and will never turn her's on you. seul's your shoulder to cry on and your crying buddy. and no matter what will always support and stand by you. she'll take care of you; cook, clean, bake, take care of your injuries, take care of you when you're sick, etc. sometimes, she'll be so focused on taking care of other people, that she forgets to take care of herself. but's hard for her; she always puts others before her and it's been like that since she was little. seul just likes to know that the people she loves and cares for are okay, even if that means she's not.
- stubborn : seul is not a quitter. when her mind is set on something, she's determined to do it and finish it. no one can stop her. she'll be up all day and all night if she has to. and as much as it kills her to think about it, she'll even skip a meal (and food is her everything). once she's started, there's no stopping, going back or backing out. you can't talk her out if it; she's made up her mind. and it's because of her stubbornness that she gets dehydrated and faints. and it's her fault, because she won't tell anyone that she's not feeling well or she's sick. Seul worries the other girls. they're always worried about her health, because she never tells them when she's not well. But seul doesn't want them to worry, that's all. and when she can't cover up the fact that she's sick, then she'll give in, but only on that occassion. other than that, she could be running out in the rain with a cold and get a fever and that's what worries the other girls the most.
- sharp-tounged : ooooooooh yeah. seul can be quite the talker. i'm telling you, if you ever get on her bad side (which is rare), she'll tell you off. and good, too. she doesn't care who she's talking to, as long as that stuckup, arrogant, rude, conceited person understands that they aren't the only ones who are all that. she can go all "z snap" on you and you can't do a thing about it. she's good. no great. no amazing! at giving those people a taste of their own medicine. you can't win against her, because everything she says comes out continuously and turthfully. the funny thing about it is that the people that are watching are laughing at the one being owned. i'm telling you, seul's got guts and she's not afraid to tell you off.

HISTORY » INCLUDE ANY IMPORTANT PAST EXPERIENCES HERE EXCLUDING INFORMATION WITH YOUR LOVE INTEREST. TALK ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD, FAMILY, ETC.
- family : cha taewoon (shawn) (50) is the only child of cha minseok and kim hana. after graduating high school, he attended stanford university law school and is currently the american ambassador to south korea (even though he's korean himself. oh well.). surinan (alexandra) waewsuwan (48) is the youngest daughter of 3 older brothers of kritchai waewsuwan and kannika waewsuwan (boonmee). after she graduated from high school, she attended a culinary arts school in flordia. both taewoon and heera are from honolulu, hawaii and have been in a relationship since freshman year of high school. so, they too, are high school sweethearts. after graduating college, taewoon asked heera for her hand in marriage. she with a happy heart, said yes and they were married the following year. after their 1st anniversary, they were hit with a surprise; and a big one at that. they had a quadruplet! (still don't understand how they do it, but if octo mom's can, there's almost no limit). yijung (Pathapee) (hartley) was first then seul came after 2 minutes, juho (satayu) (ty) after 3 minutes and jiah (somying) (layna) after 4 minutes. her parents didn't really have a reason to give only her a one syllable name, they just liked the name. unfortunately for them, their grandparents from both sides were on the sinking of sewol on april 16th 2014. their bodies were luckily recovered and brought back to the family, but of course, it was a terrible loss for a lot of families.

- childhood : seul and her siblings were born and raised in honolulu until they were 13. they then moved to seoul for their dad's work and has lived there ever since. seul's family is a rugby family. not soccer: rugby. both her parents played and they then signed their children up when they were 6. all 4 of them love rugby and continued to play it thourghout their school career. seul is a rather special child: she wears glasses, she's claustrophobic, she has ocd (obssessive compulsive disorder) and photographic memory. she's been bullied ever since she was young. of course, she got the four eyes thing, but thank god she didn't get the chinky eyes thing, because her eyes are far from chinky. they'd purposefully mess things up, just to get Seul to react. they called her a cheater, because she could remember everything and got good grades. she didn't really have much friends in school, but she substitued friends with art, music, dance and sports. you already know that seul plays rugby, but when she was 5, seul asked to take piano lessons. when she was 9 she started ballet and traditional thai folk dance (which she learned from her mom). then at age 13, seul took vocal lessons. she's always been into art and quite good at it too. she loves water color, acrylics and charcoal the most, but her ultimate favorite is pastry. her mom taught her how to cook (great food!) and she really liked it, so she wanted to learn pastry. she found herself in love with it and decided that it was her dream and goal. but her father wanted her to be a doctor or lawyer or something along those lines. lucky for her siblings.
All for siblings were on full scholarships to play rugby for college. yijung, juho and jiah went to stanford medical school and seul went to pastry arts school. her dad wasn't happy with it and still isn't, but there was no stopping her. the other 3 were interested in medical stuff, so they had no problem with it. Seul was different. 

- present : still in seoul, yijung is now a pediatric surgeon, juho is an orthopedic and jiah is a pediatrician. seul is happily living with her 3 best friends and owns her own pastry shop. now that she's got one dream down, i wonder if she'll get the other.

step four: your heart

LOVE INTEREST » Kim Jaeyoung

BIRTHDAY + AGE » 09/30/1988. 26.

PERSONALITY » jaeyoung is an extremely warm-hearted person. he's considerate, thoughtful, kind, caring and a total gentleman. he's definitely not two-faced and that something that seul likes about him. he takes good care of the people around him and everyone likes him. jaeyoulng thinks and considers everyones feelings. if he were to say this to one person how would the other feel, like that. jaeyoung's the type of guy that'll tie your shoes, clean the house with you, run errands and take care of you when you're sick. no wonder all the girls got their eyes set on him.
he sounds great, but not after you read this. jaeyoung's actully quite stingy. he doesn't like to share his food, clothes or personal belongings. and because, he too, is stubborn, he won't let you have it or borrow it for the life of him. jaeyoung is also very witty. he loves teasing seul (well, she does too). not only that, but he's also a perfectionist. he does everyting in a certain way, so that it'll be perfect. if he plans an event, everything has to be perfect. if he's going out, he has to make sure that whatever he wears matches and goes well together, even if he's in sweats. if things don't go his way, he gets upset and starts blaming it on other people.

MEETING » 
seul and jaeyoung went to the same middle school. he was an upper classman, but that doesn't matter. seul was still being picked on at school and the only one — other than her siblings
 to stick up for her was jaeyoung. he was popular, but he was different than the rest. he didn't look down upon other people and he didn't act like a hot shot. this caught seul's attention and she ended up having a crush on him. he ended up leaving middle school, but her feelings were still the same. before school ended, seul confessed to jaeyoung, but he kindly said that he would like to stay friends. seul's feeling still didn't change, but she was more than happy to be his friend. two years later, when seul went into high school (the same as jaeyoung's), jaeyoung confessed that he lied to her and that he actually had feelings for her when they were in middle shcool. seul was shocked, but didn't hesitate to say yes, when he asked her out. they dated up to jaeyoung's senior year in high school.
their 1st impressions of each other were different. seul thought he was a good guy that seemed to have everything goind right for him. jaeyoung thought that she was an interesting girl, who had so much problems for other people to use against her and that she was fragile.

COMPLICATIONS » 
- seul couldn't stand jaeyoung's stingyness. she kept trying to get him comfortable with sharing, but he wouldn't, not even with her. jaeyoung couldn't stand that seul wouldn't even try to get over her fear of water. so basically, they couldn't stand each other's stubbornness and how they wouldn't give in.
- in jaeyoung's senior year, he was really focused on college and seul understood that. but then, he was forgetting about seul and kind of left her behind. he forgot about their dates, sometimes he wouldn't answer her calls, he just left her alone.

RESIDES » seoul, south korea

 

step four: take a bow

EXTRA » 
-
if this story is going to be au, jaeyoung graduated from medical school in america and is now a neurosurgeon. he also lives in a condo in seoul. if this isn't going to be an au story, then that's okay. I wouldn't mind him being a model and actor like he is now. ^^
- after their break up, jaeyoung tries to become not so stingy and it pays off; he's not as stingy as he use to be. he's a lot more caring, too. it's like he's become a man.

SCENE REQUEST » jaeyoung getting seul to kite surf again and get rid of her fear of water.
