POSITIVE committed, optimistic, affectionate, fun-loving

NEGATIVE airheaded, naive, stubborn, conceited

THE PRESENT to be quite honest, saetbyul did not change that much over the years; although her friends have matured (some a lot, and some not so much), she remained rather easygoing and pretty much a person that still lives for the joys in life. most people can tell that she's a committed person to her passions, which mostly include her family, her circle of friends, and her job as a piano teacher. saet is quite dedicated, honestly; that's all she ever does with her life (hang out with friends & family and teach kids, that is). she's also very optimistic, and always looks towards the positive sides of things. even in dire situations, she still always manages to find something bright to look forward to, and it certainly rubs off on others. it's one of her best qualities, and when people have something to say about her, it'll definitely be on her positivity. saet, if you didn't know, is also a very affectionate person. she loves to cuddle and clings onto people like a sloth on a branch (ask jaebum, he can confirm that for you), and during her freetime, you can usually see her hugging her daughter or her husband 99% of the time. she loves to show her affection towards others very much and you can seriously tell that after having her baby, she's become more of an open person when it comes to expressing her love. however, just like before, saetbyul is quite the fun-loving gal and she always likes to prank others and make stupid jokes. you can always expect to hear a dumb pun come out of , and sometimes it's ridiculous how dumb she gets. pray that you don't lose brain cells listening to her cringy comments... please pray.

though it should be expected, it's still surprising that saetbyul is still as airheaded as she is. she still asks stupid questions, and most of the time, jaebum just stares at her increduously, wondering if she was serious or if she was just kidding, but most of the time, she's serious - unfortunately. she's seriously foolish, and her friends just wonder why most of the time, but they're used to it at this point. along with her airheadedness, she's also quite naive and believes a lot of things that people tell her. it might be because of her gullible nature, but if you tell her something completely ridiculous and weird, she will most likely believe it. it also might be because she's not entirely a wise person, but when you meet im saetbyul, do not be surprised with how naive she is. after having her child, saetbyul has grown to be quite the stubborn gal as well. she is more dogmatic towards her opinions and will defend herself until she can't defend herself any longer. saetbyul is quite the fighter, and she seriously has a lot of determination to prove that she's right, even when she isn't right. it's cause a lot of headaches on jaebum's part, but saetbyul always declares that she's right... especially when she isn't. staying true to her nature, saetbyul is as conceited as she's ever been about her appearance. it's true that she has model-like proportions and has the face of a goddess (or so she says), but when people tell her that she's pretty, it just fuels her ego, especially at this age. jaebum is usually the one that has to knock her ego down, but it only inflates to become bigger and bigger, and even though it's not as bad as when she was younger, she's still quite conceited. but nonetheless, saet is still a pretty chill person to be around, and you'd always have fun when you're with her!

 

 

FIRST HAVING A CHILD : BEING A BEGINNER PARENT since she was not in the right state to be able to work, saetbyul quit her job at hyunjoo's cafe to focus on taking care of herself and her daughter when the time came for her to pop out of her belly, but that was easier said than done. despite the fact that jaebum still had to get up early in the morning to get to work, he still insisted that he wake up in the wee hours of the morning to put their daughter back to sleep (which saetbyul is eternally grateful about, like seriously, how many guys out there are like jaebum, and are willing to do this type of stuff, and whenever this topic goes on, she starts crying while mumbling a spiel as to why she's grateful for him). it was pretty hard for saetbyul, as a stay-at-home mom, since she was practically forced to do all the chores (well not forced, but jaebum is a working man, she can't expect him to do everything for her), and she had to take care of her baby girl, so unlike before when she was stressed out, she couldn't take her frustration out by playing piano because it would wake up the baby. instead, she just napped (because honesty, the baby cried all day and night, jesus christ), and listened to calming piano music. despite what she though, saet was actually a pretty good mom and paid attention to her daughter a lot. she was pretty much the more affectionate parent in the beginning, but as jaebum grew more used to their baby, they both were quite affectionate parents. saetbyul would spend most of her time with her baby girl when jaebum was at work (since she practically had nothing else better to do) and when he got home, she would let him have his time with her. aside from jaebum, her daughter was her number one and she would've given anything to her. she was the more lax parent and whenever jaebum wasn't too happy about something, saetbyul would just convince him to let her go (if she thought it was okay to go to), and although she was pretty easygoing, she still set her boundaries as a mom. to be honest, saetbyul was really scared as a mother; she wasn't sure if she was raising her daughter correctly, and it seemed like all of her friends knew what they were doing except for her, and it really did intimidate her. of course, the only person she told was jaebum, but he comforted her by saying that her diaper changes were the best he's ever seen (and that's why he's the best husband ever). despite it being hard being a beginner parent, she really tried her best, along with jaebum, and even though she has some regrets, she wouldn't turn back time to ever redo anything. 

AND NOW SHE'S ALL GROWN UP now that her daughter is all grown up and out of the house (although she sometimes comes back and stays for an extended amount of time), saetbyul and jaebum's lives are pretty much easygoing and very lax. they don't do as many things as they used to when they were younger because of their busy schedules, but they do make time for each other, and whenever they have the chance, they'll just sit on the couch and watch some netflix and just relax next to each other. to be honest, no matter how much they love their daughter, they're pretty glad that she moved out so that they can spend more time on themselves (sorry not sorry), but they still make time to visit her anyways. they usually visit her when she's not busy on her days off from work, but that can be tricky because young people are so active these days (saetbyul will never understand, all she did was work and eat). ever since her daughter started going to school, saet has officially quit her job as a part-timer at hyunjoo's cafe and she's decided to become a piano teacher and now has a bunch of brats (or students, if you wanna be technical about it) running around her house at hourly intervals, and it's pretty much the same now, except she has left her weekends strictly open so she could spend some time with jaebum. even after so many years of marriage, saetbyul wonders how she got to lucky and got him. seriously, she could've ended up with someone like park jimin or jung hoseok or that geezer choi seunghyun, but she got lucky and married a chemistry nerd - which doesn't sound appealing, but it is. he peeves her off sometimes, but she swears that he was a catch (actually she was the catch because she is like model material compared to his sweatshirt-sweatpants self). even though the pair love their daughter very very very very very much, they can't help but wonder when she'll get married (and they even remind her about it teasingly... sorta).

 

 

jaebum's pov "personally, i would want her to have a good mix between me and saet. i hope that my child doesn't come out of her as an airhead like she is, but some things just can't be helped. it would also be great if she were to like science the way i do, and i want her to be a responsible and hardworking, yet cute girl! but not too cute, you know? i don't want her attracting any guys, but my superior genes will make her so adorable... curse my amazing dna." 
saetbyul's pov "let's disregard everything that that idiot said because he's being extra right now - that's right, i know modern day slang! aren't i cool? i'm actually such a good mom, can i get the 'eomma of the millenia award'? thanks. anyways, i think it would be cool if my daughter had my traits! i don't know if you know this, but a woman that can go years without being in a relationship is a strong woman, and my daughter is going to be strong enough to be in the wwe - but not really, that stuff is dangerous. but i mean, jaebum has some pretty good traits too. i wouldn't mind if my daughter ended up to be as hardworking and passionate, just like him with the things he loves, especially me, coughs. but then again, i'd love my daughter regardless of who she turns out to resemble more, so i guess it doesn't really matter who she resembles more that much - but i am the perfect one in this relationship, ahem." 

 

saetbyul's pov "well, to be honest, i wasn't feeling too good, and i initially thought that it was because i ate too much that day, but then i was talking to my girlfriends, and you know, it made sense actually. i had missed a period already, but i thought that was just because i was stressed or hormonal or something, so i didn't think too much about it, but my girlfriends all started screaming about taking a pregnancy test - which was ridiculous, but i did it anyways because one of them pulled one out of their cabinet and i peed on the stick and a few minutes later, you won't believe this... there were two lines! i was pregnant! it was crazy, like all my girls started screaming and i was just sitting there in shock because what the absolute fu- ahem. i mean, what the heck! i was pregnant! but later, i got home, and sat jae down when he got home from work, and i had a serious talk with him. i might've made it sound like i was about to divorce him, and i might've made him cry a little, but that's okay because i told him it was a joke and then told him that he was gonna be a dad! see, i'm not as evil as i seem to be!" 
jaebum's pov "god, saet is crazy. i got home from a long day teaching stoichiometry, and then saet is sitting at the dinner table with her hands folded, and she's looking pretty upset, so i ask what's wrong, and she tells me to sit, so i do. she then starts crying and i'm shocked, like what happened? my heart sinks when she says that we need to talk because what do we even need to talk about? we barely fight, we're pretty open with our communication now - compared to our forged marriage, so there shouldn't be a reason why she is upset about her marriage right? well, she proceeds to tell me that there's another man, and i'm shocked. what other man? i felt so hurt and betrayed and i might've let a few tears slip... until that idiot told me that it was all a joke and that she wasn't cheating. she was actually just pregnant, and i was torn between suplexing her and throwing bread at her for the dumb joke, but then it hit me - she was pregnant. i was a dad! a dad! i was so happy, i think i almost fainted. i can't belive it... i didn't even know how to carry a baby!" 

 

THE FATHER!

PERSONALITY TRAITS 

POSITIVE responsible, caring, affectionate

NEGATIVE worrywart, overprotective, awkward

meet im jaebum, the beacon of light for the im family and the overall glue that keeps saetbyul from going crazy. he's mostly the same from before he had a baby, despite some minor changes with his personality, but he's still as responsible as ever. it's seriously crazy how responsible jaebum is. he always takes the punishment for things he knows he did wrong in, and he knows what his obligations are, and does them well. he's also one of the most caring people you might have had the pleasure to meet. he is always concerned for others, and does his best to help them and it's crazy how much he'd do to help. his students are always grateful that he'd spend hours helping them with a complicated subject, and it's amazing how much he cares for his wife as well. though he tends to be quite shy at times, jaebum is clearly an affectionate person, and it can really be seen when he interacts with saet and his daughter. he loves them to no end, and will always give them a hug or a kiss (well, that's mostly to saet, but he cuddles with his baby girl a lot too). people who are just looking at them are sometimes jealous that saet has such a loving husband, but hey, it's jsut that saet got real lucky with him. 

after having a daughter, though, jaebum's become more of a worrywart than when he didn't have a baby, and he's very vocal about it as well. when saet was pregnant, he constantly urged her clumsy self to be careful, and he even followed her around when he wasn't working to make sure she was okay. when his daughter was born, he seriously worried so much that even saet got annoyed with it. she reassured him that everything was going to be okay, and he didn't have to worry so much, but knowing jaebum, that's quite difficult. he's also become very overprotective of his family, and he is always looking out for the wellbeing of those he loves. he's mostly overprotective of his daughter, and is the type of parent to ask questions such as "where are you going? who are you going with? what time are you coming home?" and stuff like that, and often gets annoyed when saet breezily tells her that she can go wherever she wants, as long as she doesn't do anything crazy and comes home at an acceptable time. saet says that she trusts her daughter not to do something stupid, but jaebum is just a worrier and can't stand to see his daughter making bad choices. also, if you know how awkward jaebum was back when he didn't have a baby, it's still the same after his baby has grown up into an adult. whenever he talks to people that he's not close with, there's always this air of tension, and even sometimes, saet finds it awkward when she talks to him, but that's only sometimes. he just finds it uncomfortable to talk to people he hasn't really talked to before, and it's difficult for him to find a topic to talk about, but that's im jaebum for you. even though he has his negatives, he's still cute and lovable (saet can confirm this for you).

 

THE BEGINNER PARENT : BACKGROUND 

while his wife was busy searching up youtube videos on childcare, jaebum was a very stressed out dad. for one thing, he wasn't even good with kids, so the fact that he now has a kid to look after made him feel quite paranoid, honestly. he wasn't sure how to take care of her, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to relate to her girl problems when she became older, and worried that his relationship with his little girl would've been horrible because he didn't know how to take care of her. saetbyul always reassured him by telling him that his daughter could never hate him if he just tried his best and acted affectionately with her a lot, but for a guy who's had like barely any female contact before saet, that was quite difficult. he gushed about how cute his daughter was at work (and jimin too, oh goodness their co-workers must've been so annoyed), but he would've never admitted that he wasn't good with children. since saet was a stay-at-home mom, he wasn't too worried about his baby because well, he trusted that saetbyul wasn't going to drop her on her head, but every time he went home, and she tried ing the baby into his arms, he just clammed up and ran to the bathroom, claiming that he needed to take a massive dump (he didn't, but you know jaebum). truth be told, he was scared of dropping his daughter and it took him about seven months for him to actually be able to hold his baby. it took saetbyul a lot of work and effort to get him to be able to do that, but when he held her, he could not let go of her - he was in love. it was a different kind of love from what he felt with saetbyul, but it was certainly love, and he knew it right away. after his first encounter with his daughter, he made sure to shower her with love, even now, when she's grown up to be an adult. 

 

"THE GROWN UP" / "NOW SHE'S ALL GROWN UP" : BACKGROUND 

after his whole 'i-can't-hold-my-daughter' fiasco, jaebum has been a pretty affectionate dad. when he came home from work when she was younger, he would just devote his time to cuddling and playing with his baby girl until she got sleepy, and when she started school, he helped her with her homework a lot of the times (even though she didn't need it, she was smart). saet even commented on how he was so affectionate compared to how he was like when she was first born, and that would always make him blush and coddle his baby more. most of his time was spent working, grading papers, and spending time with his beloved family. he never got sick of his beautiful wife and daughter, even when his daughter would act up some days and get on his nerves; he was a patient father and while he would never fully hold her hand while doing things, he would push her to her limits to teach her, instead of giving her the answers. now that his daughter is all grown up, he usually spends time to himself or with saetbyul because they have a lot of free time to do so. jaebum does the things that he couldn't do before because he didn't have the freedom to, but he still tries to be a good husband and dad, and makes sure to call and visit his daughter frequently. you can tell that he's a really good dad, and it can certainly get on his daughter's nerves at times, but he really does care a lot about her and no one can ever forget that.

 

 

saetbyul sniffles a little bit, as she remembers how her baby was when she was little. "oh man, don't ask me this, i'm going to cry. she was so cute when she was younger! i mean, she's cute now, but she's an adult! she's not as cuddly or adorable, you know what i mean? well, now she's a brat... i don't know how i feel about her growing up actually. i kinda feel insecure about me being a parent... i hope she didn't hate me while growing up. i'm kinda idiotic as people know, and i tend to be a little embarrassing to be around. i miss how she had time for me when she was younger though... she was always off with her friends, and i was always missing her! i don't know, maybe i just miss her right now. time goes by so fast, she's already a grown up!" 
 

saetbyul laughs at the question. "oh man if her love story was like mine, i'd feel sorry for her. jeez, jaebum was so annoying back then. he was the one that needed me, but he wouldn't even tell me why he needed me! it was so annoying, i felt like i was going to strangle him everyday. well, i mean, if she's gonna have a similar love story as me, at least let my son-in-law be attractive and not a nerd like my husband." saetbyul rolls her eyes at the thought of him and his chemistry jokes. "but my husband is, without a doubt, way better than any other guy in the world, so my daughter is gonna have a hard time picking someone that i like more than him." she says, finishing with a bright smile.
