Ari is very friendly, where she knows how to talk to people and tends to make friends easily, though the only real true friends she consider are Yeeun and Hansol.

Ari is quite sensitive, and easily gets hurt with the words thrown to her. When she gets upset, she tends to be sulky, and would make sure that the person who has hurt her would feel guilty. She also tends to be grumpy, from to time to time and when she sulks, especially with the people whom she doesn't like. During those times, she would just have a frown on her face and just shoos people away. Ari can be quite stubborn at times, not taking 'no' for an answer.

important things and people in life 

Background > Ha Ari was born on July 29, 1998, and was the second child of their parents. She grew up in a middle-class and light hearted family, and had everything she needed. Ari grew up loving music, and has always expressed her desire to pursue it, but her parents were against it, finding no stability in pursuing music. Not giving up, Ari continously asked her parents to support her, financially and mentally, with her love for music, only to be repeatedly said 'no' to. Being a bit mischievious, Ari influenced her younger brother, Dongjin, in music, and both of them found themselves continously falling in love with music. When she turned 16, Ari was surprised to hear that her parents had finally agreed for her to start learning music, by learning the guitar. They gave her a large sum of money, to hire a teacher, which she sadly, unconsciously spent on other things (food, going out with her friends). The only people who know about it are her two bestfriends, and her older brother.
Current Life > Unable to tell her parents what she had done, Ari goes to school and has been working at a convenience store for almost a year now to gain the money she spent that was originally for her guitar lessons, with her parents thinking that she attends guitar lessons during the time she works. On the weekends, and from time to time, she likes to go out with her family and/or her friends.

Family >
Father / Ha Minho / 48 / Store Manager / The probable reason why Ari is as carefree as she is. Minho isn't too strict of a father and loves joking around with his children. He doesn't restrict his children, except for Ari's love for music. Pursuing music is the only thing that is not stable and accepted for Minho, and Ari would always point out the beauty of music whenever her father would listen to music and sing. Ari would bicker a lot with her father and likes teasing each other. But when Minho has to be strict and scold Ari, he does, causing Ari to sulk for a while.
Mother / Ha Jooyeon / 45 / Former Cook/Housewife / Jooyeon loves trying out new things, and loves having her children with her during those times. Jooyeon cooks, cleans, and takes care of her children, just like a real mom, but tends to forget about her duties from time to time due to the different things she could try. Jooyeon would always force her daughter to join her, and Ari would say 'no' at first, but let's just say Ari's mother is more stubborn than she ever will be.
Older Brother / Ha Moonyoung / 20 / College Student majoring in Business Management / Moonyoung is the only "normal" person in his family. He's the only one that is a bit strict  with his future, finding business a great source of income. Ari would often try to help out in Moonyoung's business. Moonyoung likes to think of Ari as a grown up and tries to influence her in having a more stable dream. Though Moonyoung can be strict, he can be very playful with his family.
Younger Brother / Ha Dongjin / 9 / Student / Ari's partner in crime, or her biggest enemy. Dongjin is the only person Ari can't be stubborn nor sulk to. She loves playing with him, and somehow becomes quite mature, yet still playful, when she's with Dongjin.

Friends and Rivals >
Bestest Friend / Jang Yeeun / 17 / Bright, Cheerful, Optimistic / Ari's closest friend. They met when they were in middle school, and had an instant connection with their love for music. Yeeun and Ari agree at almost the same thing, but have their differences and would even fight once in a while. Yeeun is currently studying at a performing school, while Ari is stuck in a normal school.
Best Friend / Hansol Vernon Choi / 17 / Carefree, chill, passionate /
Hansol and Ari met through Yeeun. Hansol attends the same school as Yeeun, and though they had a rocky start, Hansol and Ari became good friends, or more like siblings. They treat each other like family and loves being affectionate with one another. Hansol tends to be protective or Ari, while Ari can be strict with the girls Hansol likes from time to time, though it's only because they very much care for one another.
 

KANG SEUNGYOON
bad gangster gone better 

Nickname/s > Yoonie - Called by those who are close to him
Age > 21
Birthday > January 21, 1994
Back-up Lover > Woo Jiho (Zico)

Personality > A perfectionist and terribly moody man. One minute, he's cold and serious, and suddenly becomes cheerful and goofy on the other. Seungyoon is a hard worker and won't stop until he's satisfied, causing him to sometimes push himself to more than his limits. He tends to have a strong shell, and rarely opens up to others, due to being betrayed by his loved ones in the past. He is quite affectionate to those he cares about, and would do anything to protect them and to make them happy. He has a great observation skill, allowing him to see more than others see. Seungyoon has a strong belief in himself, and is often able to help himself in most things. He rarely finds the need to ask for help, thus he tends to be stubborn and denial of others' help. He tends to be naggy, as well, getting mad at the smallest imperfection he sees, and always points out every single detail. With perfection in his mind, he tends to just speak his mind and sometimes tends to be insensitive and hurt others' feelings. Seungyoon tends to hide all of his dark feelings and problems, and would sometimes just have a fake smile on his face. But when his problems gets the best of him, he tends to let it out on other people, and sometimes get violent.
Background > Seungyoon grew up in a small town in Busan, South Korea, and was raised by a single mother. Being abandoned by his father, he and his mother had a hard time living life. They found themselves covered in debts, and to top it all of, Seungyoon was forced to stop schooling, due to a betrayal done by his friends. His friends, whom he taught understood him, talked badly about him to others and spread false rumors, causing him to leave the school. In order to help his mother, he learned how to play the billiards and joined competitions to earn money, and once joined an illegal competition that caused him trouble with the police. Due to his love in music, he also learned how to play the guitar. Seungyoon and his mother moved to Seoul, looking for a brighter future, but found themselves still in the same situation. Meeting new friends, some gangsters, Seungyoon decided to join them, learning how to fight, and hoping to find something that would help him and his mother, even getting involved with drug business.

Love Story > It was one gloomy day when Yeeun decided to visit Ari at her job at the convenience store. Ari was complaining at how irresponsible she was for spending all of that money, for her guitar lessons, and coincidentally, Seungyoon was shopping at the same store. He overheard the conversation and took all of his might to offer to be her guitar teacher in exchange for dinner everyday, as he could only pay for the dinner of his mom. Ari refused, at first, thinking that it was fraud, with Yeeun agreeing with her. Seungyoon went to the convenience store, everyday, trying to pursuade Ari. Ari rejected him repeatedly until her parents demanded her to perform at an event her father's company was having, and she was forced to accept his offer. Ari, at first, had Vernon with him when they first had their guitar class at Ari's house, not able to trust Seungyoon, and her older brother had kept watch on them. At that time, she had no trust in Seungyoon's skills but as time passed by, she grew impressed. Her mother had forcibly invited Seungyoon for dinner when they had their class, and Ari's family found themselves liking Seungyoon, with Ari's older brother being a bit in denial about it. When the time of her performance came, she was able to perform well. After her performance, she still kept her deal with Seungyoon, wanting to learn more about the guitar, and would find herself travelling through different places, eating dinner with Seungyoon. Ari still kept her part-time job, planning to hire an official guitar teacher in the future.

As time passes by, they find themselves getting to know each other more and more, and soon their differences came out, causing them to fight from time to time. Whenever he gets beaten up, gets drunk or gets in trouble, and doesn't want to go home for his mother to see him, he would often stay at Ari's home, keeping it a secret to Ari's family. At first, all Ari felt was concern seeing Seungyoon beat up and drunk, but as time passes by, she found herself getting mad at him for being violent. Ari helps him keep calm, with her mother's help with yoga, and would invite him to eat at their house from time to time. Day by day, Ari would find herself craving for Seungyoon's presence and music, and Seungyoon would enjoy Ari's playfulness and comfort. Ari would take Seungyoon out to hang out, sometimes with her friends, and would find herself getting jealous when she sees Seungyoon and Yeeun interacting. One day, Seungyoon goes to Ari's house, beaten up again, and unable to hide her emotions, Ari gets really mad and unconsciously confesses her feelings before suddenly kissing Seungyoon, only to regret it afterwards, causing them to be awkward with each other for a while.

Relationship > Seungyoon would often point out Ari's wrongs and tends to nag at her, causing Ari to feel uncomfortable and would push her to her limits from time to time. They would talk back to each other a lot, and bicker, with Seungyoon believing in reasons while Ari believed in her feelings. Ari would try to correct Seungyoon but would take a while before Seungyoon would accept her help. Though they have high tendencies of fighting, they can also be very friendly with each other and learn a lot from one another. When Seungyoon is in the mood, he would tease and joke with Ari endlessly. They tend to be touchy with each other, causing Ari's brother to get mad and be protective. Though Seungyoon tends to push Ari away, she tends to get sulky, and would push Seungyoon to re-approach her. Ari often tries to make Seungyoon open up, but always gets brushed off or gets the topic changed, and was only able to make him open up after a while.
