personality

— Piper is a fun loving person, the type of person that would go all out when trying to let loose. After hiding true herself for most of her life to please her parents she realised that she has wasted a lot of time being someone else not the person who she really is. She is the person who would take people on crazy adventures and help others to find who they really are.

On the outside she might seem like she doesn't give a about anything and with some stuff she might not. But with the stuff that she really cares about, like her worries and fears she unintentionally keeps it inside because she's scared that if it started to reflect her outer appearance as well as inside her then she might explode.

background

— Piper Byun was born on the 6th of August,1997 in Melbourne, Australia. She is the third child in the family; with two older sister. Since her two older sisters turned out to be successful with their studies and later their careers a lot of pressure was put on Piper to follow in their foot steps. It got to a point during her the first two years of her high school that she felt like the life that she was living wasn't her's (A/N: There is no middle school in Australia. After primary school it's off to high school).That she was living in the shadows of her older siblings and the high expectations of her parents weighing her down. At about 10th grade her family moved back to Korea since her dad got a job there and he also has family there. Around the time of this realisation and the new environment she was now living. It stressed out and her grades started to drop. It stressed her out even more and her parents would start to tell her off saying how disappointed they were with her current grades. Her older sisters weren't any help because that don't seem to understand how much their success affect her. So it's not surprising that she isn't close to any of them since whenever they try helping her Piper either gets more stressed out or feels stupid to the point that she can't focus on anything. The only time she would get to time to herself and not having the expectation push down on her so much is at night when everyone is asleep. That is the time when she can let her tear flow freely down her face without any of the judging eyes of her family and the only thing that comforts her is the music that she plays through her phone which takes her to another place for a while.

But one day, she said to herself 'This is my life' not anyone else. So she changed her way of thinking. She would stopped thinking about the top position of the class and would try her hardest with the best of her abilities. She also started working part time at a popular trendy clothing store to take her mind off study and family for a while. Sometimes her aunt's family come over for family gatherings. At first Piper avoids them but after a while she found that she really connects with her two cousins Park Hong Chul and Park Ha Eun who are older than her; even more then her own sisters. They were all interested in EDM music and the music festival life which is how they connected. She was able to open up to them and talk about how her life was living behind the shadows of her sisters. After the three of them got really close in the short amount of time Ha Eun gave her that bracelet saying that that her brother gave it to her hoping for her to be able to experience a music festival that is as unique as Tomorrowland in her youth before a career drags her into serious adulthood. Which Ha Eun ended up going to Tomorrowland and having a blast with her friends. Since Ha Eun didn't have any other younger siblings to pass it down to she gave it to Piper. Thinking back to when she would try to be like her older sister just to please her parents. Even though she want to be her own person and doing what she wants to do she still feels like she need to at least confront/talk to her parents about how she felt over the years. After she told her cousins that she wanted to confront her parents her cousins her really supportive and gave her advice on how she should go about it. So six month before graduating she confronted her parents and told them how she felt about her life. She also told them her plans in the near future which is to not go straight into uni because she has no idea what she want to do with her life and take a year off to just work and sort out the next step. Which ended up with her and her mother is a really heated argument and her father defending Piper. After the argument she asked her father why he defended her. He explained to her that the expectations that both her mother and father put on her was unfair and that it took a while for him to finally see how it was really affecting her. All the time that she thought everyone was asleep while she cried her eyes out at night; her father heard them all and it broke his heart into so many pieces. When she told them what she wanted to do with her life her father was proud because his daughter has finally got her own goals for life not one that was placed for her.

A week after graduating high school she and her mother weren't on good terms but her father told her to follow the path that is before her. She still worked at the clothing store part time. She also worked as an admin assistant in a graphic design studio for about 7-8 months since it was a temporary role. Which was alright for her since it took up a most of her gap year. The rest of the year she started looking into a range of different courses at different universities and went to a bunch of open days. At the last open day she went to for the year it was at X university (A/N: I couldn't find the name of the uni anywhere in your story so I just called it that). There she me a bubbly girl named Choi Hae Won they both decided to explore the campus together. When first years started Piper and Hae Won were stuck together like glue. Mid year of her first year the manager changed that the store that she worked at and he was a major a**hole. Piper tried her best to just focus on working and avoided him when she could. She lasted 4 week of his bs before she quit. After that she spent a few months looking for another job she ended up taking a casual role at a small book store closer in the city.

Trivia:
— There's a lot of tension between Piper's older sisters and her cousins. Mainly due ther two different point of views when it comes to Piper.

— Even though she loves cooking/baking she wouldn't want to do it for a career because of all the stories she's heard of people turning their hobbies into their career which turns into a nightmare

relationships

— Older Cousin • Park Hong Chul / 29 / Song Joong Ki / Gaming Designer / lay back with work and studies, Parties Hard, Loyal, Protective / He's like the older brother she never had. He seems really protective of Piper especially  after she told him and his younger sister of what her household was like and what she had been through. Piper would catch up with him and Ha Eun all the time. He actually help her get an intern role at the company he worked at near the end of her first year. It would always be tense whenever he and Ha Eun her in the same room as Piper's sister.

— Older Cousin • Park Ha Eun / 25 / Park Shin-hye / Interior Designer / Funny, Quirky, Independent, Adventurous / Piper was able to open up a lot to Ha Eun, more than her own sister ever could. She understand what Piper is going through since she wasn't uptight in her own days at uni. Piper can always talk to her about a lot of things like her studies, boys and about other stuff going on at uni. She would always gives Piper advice whenever she needs it. But with Piper's older sisters she also experience the same tense atmosphere like her older brother experiences.

— Best Friend • Choi Hae Won / 20 / Jin Ji-Hee / Graphics Design Major / personality traits / They both met at he Uni Open Day and decided to explore campus together. At the end of the day they were friends and exchanged phone numbers. They would hang out together and have weird/random adventures together. Once Uni started they were both always together since they both became close in the short amount of time together. She is also the one that annoyed her into taking up chemistry.. Since she is a hopeless romantic and has a feeling that Piper would meet someone special if not 'THE ONE'.

— Enemy • Lee Eun Ae / 23 / Chae Soo-Bin / Biology Major / Two faced, Backstabber,  / It all started when Hae Won slipped and spilled her yogurt one Eun Ae's pants and shoes. Eun Ae made sure to make Hae Won's life hell. Since Piper is best friends with Hae Won she also was affected by Eun Ae's wrath; it wasn't as bad as Hae Won but still pretty bad. Like the time when she tried to break Hae Won's and Piper's friendship by throwing (figuratively) throwing Hae Won's crush between the two. She also talk about Piper to get Yao Chi to hate her so she can 'steal' him. But he had experience girls like Eun Ae before and saw right through her. (Also at that time Piper only started to be interested in him and the thought of actually dating him hadn't entered her mind yet)

Her thoughts are in brackets

WHAT's YOUR MAJOR? My major is Business Marketing since I still have no idea what to do career wise. But I was recommended going into Business since it open up to a many industries.
WHAT YEAR ARE YOU IN? I'm in my second year

DESCRIBE YOUR ROUTINE!

— On the weekday mornings I wake up an 2 hours before class to have breakfast and get ready. After that I get on the bus which take 10 min to get to the train station. The train ride is 30 min then I take another bus from the tain station to campus and that takes another 5 min. I have classes from 9am to 3pm on Monday to Wednesday & Friday. On Monday & Tuesdays I would head home and either study, do chores or just relax. But Thursday's schedule for this year is screwd up because I have a class from 10 am to 12 pm and then another class from 4pm to 7pm and nothing in between; like what am I gonna do for 4 hours. Lucky Hae Won doesn't live to far from campus so I just end up at her place and take a nap. I work on Wedndays and Fridays at a bookstore in the city. I also work on the weekends but the only when the store owner needs me. When I'm not needed at work on the weekend I sleep in and whatever happens happens since I don't really plan my weekends.

HOW DID YOU APPLY FOR CHEMISTRY?

— Just a week before the subject selection deadline there was a notice to all students via email saying that the Business Psychology subject is cancelled and the uni would no longer run that class which really annoyed the heck out of me. After a day my friend convinced me to join (more like I joined to shut her up) this Chemistry class. To be honest I didn't reallt have any expectations going into this class.

what'S YOUR FIRST REACTION AFTER KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE TO PAIR UP WITH (love interest)?

— Out of all the people in the world... he gets paired with me. It just had to be someone popular. (Oh boy. This year is going to be one hell of a ride)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?

— The only love of my life right now is my stand mixer. Apart from that then nope. (God. How I feel like baking right now)

 
 

love interest Yao Chi (Idol Producer S2 Trainee)
back up love interest Zhu Zhengting (Nine Percent) & Yao Mingming (Pre Seventeen Member and Idol Producer S2 Trainee)
birthday (1997/03/18 + 22)

personality

— Yao Chi is a bright, bubbly and cheerful person that can be friends with just about anyone. He is also hardworking especially when he tries to balance his uni life, work life and social life. But he also can be a worrywart, worrying about a lot of things like his uni assignments and trying to keep his grades up, also is the degree that he gets after graduating would it get him the career he wants and other stuff in the future. There is time where he wonders if he’s gonna be alone for the rest of his life. But that changes after he see Piper. He’s able to forget his worries whenever he’s around her because whenever he's with Piper it's always gonna be a new adventure.

How they met

— Yao Chi is a transfer student form China and he started attending this Uni in mid year of Piper's first year. He wasn't super popular but a lot of people knows him around uni. Piper knew of him but didn't know what he looked like. So one day near the end of the year of first year he tripped while walking in the cafeteria and the cupcake that he was holding flew out of his hand across the room. Piper saw it and the only thought that was going on in her mind was "Save the cupcake before it touches the floor" since she hate's wasting food. She didn't even know who's it was. She jumped and leapt across tables. As she was close to it she reached out her hand and caught it before she landed on her feet. She let out a sigh of relief before asking "Who's is this?" Yao Chi walked up to her and told her it's his. Once she gave it back to him. "Thank y-" he started to tank her but she cut him off "Oh sh*t" since she saw her professor on his way to her next class. "I gotta get to class" she said as she gathered her stuff and started sprinting off. "And you're welcome!" was all she yelled as she sprinting off into the distance leaving Yao Chi stunned. Since then he's grown interested in her and would notice her in the crowd.

The first lesson of Chemistry class in her second year Piper the professor paired her and Yao Chi together. After that the class got up and when around to find their partners. When he came up to her "We meet again" and Piper just looked at him with a confused face 'I don'y think I've ever met this guy before'. "You don't remember me?".she shook  her head. When he told about how she saved his food she smile and said "Sounds like something I would do" indicating that she doesn't remember. They spent most of that lesson listening to the professor explain the unit outline and discussing how they would work on this subject and different approaches to doing the different assignments

love story

— Over time they would research on the different aspects of chemistry and human attraction. They made a list of different things that couples would to on typical dates and would try them out on their 'research dates'. After working together for a few weeks they both would hang out like close friends. One time it was literally less than a week before Ultra Music Fest was on in Korea again. But Hae Won cancelled on her and gave her the extra ticket the next day so she could go with someone else.  Piper was in the middle of researching to start on assignment early when Hae Won called to tell her this. So after the call Piper was disappointed that she couldn't go with her best friend to this festival even though they went last year and had a blast. At this point she wasn't in the mood to work on her assignment anymore and just saved what she had done. She began to think about the festival and who else she could go with. She didn't really want to go alone but she might have to since she didn't want to waste the ticket that she brought herself. As she was thinking while in front of her laptop her eyes landed on her chemistry notebook. That's when she realised that she could ask Yao Chi if he's free. So she called him. He was surprised that she called and ask her what's up? She then asked him if he's free on the weekend. He wasn't planning on doing much on the weekend, most likely game online. She told him about it's an edm music festival and how it's both days on the weekend and other stuff about it. After explaining she asked him "So do you wanna go?" Yao Chi had a smug grin on his face when he said "You asking me on a date?" "No. I'm asking if you want to hang out? But if you really want it to be then it'll be a research date" she told him. He let out a sigh "Ok. That good enough" "For now" he said that last part in his head. With that she explained to him how to prepare for these events and what to being. On the day of the festival they met up at the gate and headed inside.

From the start Yao Chi was interest in Piper but as the months came and gone he fell for Piper and her weird quirky personality.  It was near the end of the the year and every student was expected to be writing up their final assignment for Chemistry class. Piper was starting to show signs that she felt something for Yao Chi and her friend Hae Won had called her out on it. Hae Won would tell her that that she(Piper) liked him but Piper still felt it was too early to call it that, mind you Piper has never actually dated anyone. It was a few days later Yao Chi told her to meet in front of the ice cream parlour after her class ended. It was kinda late since her class was in the late afternoon. When they met up he seemed nervous but Piper (A/N: Oh innocent Piper) thought he was shivering from the cold. Which he told her he actually wasn't. He ended up pouring his heart out and confessing that he liked her. He held her hands and his eyes stared at her hoping that she wouldn't turn him down. "Yao Chi..." she started to say as she bit her lip trying to form the next sentence while her was eager to know what she would say. "I have feelings for you to but... this..." she let go of his hands and took a step back. He was happy to hear that she had feelings for him but was shocked when she let go. "I...This is all new to me. I'm trying to process everything" she explained to him. He opened his mouth to try and say something but can't think of anything to say. "I'm sorry I can't give you an answer now but-" she said but was cut off. "No, don't be sorry. I'm happy you have feeling for me. It's ok. I know this is a lot to process and I can wait" he said as he hugged Piper letting her head lay in his chest.

ending

— A happy ending where Piper sorts out her feelings and they date and along the way travel around Europe together. He travels between Korea and China to visit family during end of year holidays which test them at long distance relationship.

last comment Here is my characters. Hope they are what you had in mind for your story. Sorry about the personality sections since I'm not that great at writing personalities.

scene requets

— They both watch a romatic comedy in the cinemas for their movie review because they think that is what couples watch on dates. three quarters into the movie she realises that he fell asleep. After the movie ended and they both walk out of the cineas and stop near the ticket box. Piper say "Well my eyes now have cancer" since it was such a horrible movie. Yao Chi apologised for sleeping through the movie but Piper told him it was okas she glanced at the movies tarting soon on the ticket box screen. She saw the lastest Deadpool movie starting soon and asked him if he wanted to watch another movie to cleanse their eyes which he agreed. So they were sitting back in the cinemas waiting for the movie to start with a new box of popcorn. Piper also got a bag of maltesers since she forgot about it the first time round. She was about to mix it into the box of popcorn when Yao Chi stopped her by asking what she's doing. She found it criminal how he hasn't had the joy of mixing popcorn and maltesers so she told him to try it. Which he found it an amazing combo. (A/N: I highly recommend it. Google it if you've never heard of this). They both had more fun while watching Deadpool then the romantic comedy.
— "Why am I here?" Piper asked when she met up with Yao Chi at a theme park. "For a research date" he said as he shoved fairy floss in her face.
— Cafe dates
— Food adventures
— The time when Yao Chi and Piper go to Ultra Music Festival
