She was a bastard child. Her mother had her when she was only 19. Her mother’s life was perfectly laid in front of her, served on a silver platter. She can easily picked a University of her choice, her brain is capable and her parents can very much afford everything. Until she became pregnant. Disowned by her parents, abandoned by her boyfgriend. Using her money from her savings, she managed to survive 9 months of pregnancy and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Jinae grew up alongside her mother who continued her education in biology at Korea’s top university, KAIST on full scholarship while juggling in between her part time jobs to sustain their lives. Jinae grew up looking up to her mother very much. She was a strong, admirable woman. Intelligent, dilligent, and still not forgetting her duties as a young mother. Somehow in all of her business she can still make time to bond with little Jinae. They were all they have.

Jinae was a very smart child, she skipped classes and graduated elementary school at the age of 10. She was a quiet and shy little girl but she had a very sweet smile. She was an introvert but she still loves to play with her peers, wich sometimes a bit annoying to her since their level of intelligence is somehow below her.

It was night when she was 13, her mother just took her out for dinner after she finished her job as a researcher for a famous research facility, SIST. It was kind of late since her mother ended late as usual, but they are also very happy. Until it happened. A drunk driver suddenly crashed into their car leading to a fatal accident that killed both the driver and her mother. She watched it all, how her mother struggles to breath, how her body spasmed until it suddenly became still and she knew then how her heart sropped beating.

Since then she became a changed person. She shut everyone out of her life. She believes it was not her mother’s time to pass. She believes that there is some way to have her mother back. Thats when she started obsessing on how to bring her mother back. Surviving only with the money her mother left behind (which is a lot considering she was one of a top researcher), Jinae focused on her studies. She laid out a blue print on how to het her mother back. She was accepted at Stanford University at the age of 17.

She succeeded doing that all, graduating from the top 10 University in molecular biology, signed up at a famous institute as a researcher (just like her mother did), she is one step closer everyday to claim her mother back to her. 

current events

Jinae was accepted as a researcher at the young age of 20. Many was expected from her, the daughter of the brilliant Hwang Hyesun. And of course she exceeded those easily and by the first year, she was titled 'The Dragon Lady.' Seeing her exellence in research, the president decided to introduce her to the'EXO project' in hopes that she could develop more in the future and can make a brilliant innovation to the projects. Though the president still hasn't put her into the project yet and Jinae couldn't care less. As long as she keeps doing researches that could help her reach her goal, she's fine, though a bit offended but she was a mere 21 years old.

All of her hardwork paid off. She is now living in a luxurious apartment with luxurious stuff she was sure her mother couldn't have bought at her times as a researcher. She exceeded everyone's expectation on her. Although still haunted by the nightmare of that day, she is comfortable, but nto satisfied. She continues to work hard, for her dear mother whose life shouldnt have ended that night.

It was Wednesday, June 8 2016, Jinae is working late again. She is very close to solving a problem, she even rearranged her schedule for the night to work on the project. At 10 pm, she was finishing up, unfortunately for her who is very curious of the subject, due to her schedule. Then as she takes her coat off the hanger the light started flickering. She became worried because her test subject needs to be constantly radiated with the alpha wave. She then headed to the power source, making sure everything is okay, because damn if something goes wrong, all 3 months of hard work woud go to waste.

As she walked down, the siren started riinging. Dammit, she cursed. She ran to her laboratory to save her project. It was not until the blackout when she thought, this is serious. She looked out and the whole city is dark. She panicked. Her project! She wanted to throw a tantrum right at that second when she saw someone suddenly appeared right in front of her, making her fall. She recognised him as a part of the EXO project. He escaped. Her heart started hammering in her chest. Her brain started screaming "emergency" and it hurts. She wanted to scream but something blocked her airways. Oh, how adrenaline works so quick.

Then the she saw 3 other guys running towards them, the EXO project boys. Now her dead project seemed nothing like the failure she felt for this project. Her legs went noodles as she watch 5 of the boys running towards the exit with the teleportation boy showing up with more and more boys each time. Her body couldn't took all the shock she went through so after sometime, her mind just shut down and she was deep in a slumber.

— Please answer all question to the best of your ability. 

HOW did you first meet the experiment? — "I was introduced to the experiment 1 year into my job here, also one year since it was introduced to the public. The President trusted me enough with these classified information in hope that I will be able to help when needed and once I am capable. Though I am very sure I am very capable of doing it then."

How do you feel about meeting someone who has superpowers? did you believe him at first? — "It makes me feel motivated. If anything like that can happen that means there are more things that seemed far-fetched that are actually achievable. No matter how people deemed it impossible. Anything can happen." She sanswers as she stares blankly at the wall.

How do you feel about sist after hearing about the experimentation?did your perception change? — "I am now convinced that SIST really is a leading research institute."

what are your plans for the future? — "One year from nw I would be a head researcher for a programme. After leading at least 3 projects I will start the research of cloning an already dead body. And my goal is to make that happen in 5 years from now."

Kim jongin

— Do Kyungsoo

personality before — 
He was playful young lad. He has passion for dancing and music, even though his parents are against it, he is still working hard on convincing them and practicing to become a dancer he is. He is also one of the most mischievous one in his class. He loves to put pranks on people and never takes anything seriously. He just loves to live his life, living by the slogan #yolo.

PERSONALITY after  — 
He is more reserved and quiet. All gone his playfulness. Everything in him becomes more serious. The same smile doesn't come back no matter how much he tries. The only real smile he got was when he first broke out and was free at last, but that didn't last long. Now short-tempered, he barks at people when he lost control of himself.

relationship — 
She hated hi,. He hated her.  She hates people in general and he recognized her as a researcher at SIST. Mutual hatred seemed so simple while it is not. Especially having to see each other on a daily basis.

history — 
She s on her routine morning jog right before the sun rises that she spotted someone. She couldn't care less honestly, as long as he doesn't block her way. But as she got closer, she noticed that the guy is actually the one that appeared right in front of her that night. She felt her body shake uncontrolably. So she fished out her phone to snap the picture of him for reports to the office about the missing experiments. Then he noticed her. She ran, so hard until her lungs feels like it's shrinking. But the boy can teleport so he teleported right in front of her and teleported them both to a motel room. Before she can make a call he broke her phone. And that's how she became a prisoner in the boys room. She doesn't know where she is. He is afraid once she got out she will report to them about him.

one week into her imprisonment, Jongin suddenly came back drunk one night. It enfuriates her. She tried to keep herself in control, until she learned that he drove from the bar there, in a drunken condition. She went mad. She went rampage. She couldn't control herself. She launch herself on him. She attacked him, leaving him bloodied and bruised.

In the morning he woke up remembering the incident and finding the girl curled up in a ball in the corner of the room still crying. He felt guilty for no logical reason. So, after treating himself, he tended to her so gently that it scared her. It was the mark of their new relationship based on understanding on each other though not trust. 

They learned everything from their point of view. Jinae even told him about her mother, and her ambition to bring her back which kind of scares him. They become familiar with one another and something blossomed through there.

ending — 
He finally helps her let go of her mother and her unhealthy obsession. They then started working as normal people and he helps her with her new ambition; building her own top research institute. They got married, have kids later in life and live happily ever after (?)

other — 
-After they warmed up to each other their relationship is basically Jongin teasing her to no end
-Jongin likes being around her because he seemed to be turning into his old self around her
-Jinae likes being around him because he teaches her about the emotions she has never felt before
