PERSONALITY

[ personality ] slytherin | capricorn | enfj

[ pos ] reliable, charismatic, flirtatious, free-spirited, honest, level-headed

[ neg ] selfless, sensitive, unpredictible, airheaded, forgetful, blunt
   
[ elaboration ] reliable & selfless.

          aibek will do whatever is asked of him, no questions asked. he is the friend you call when you need an ear or to bury a body. he is always there, unless he has forgotten. he is also the type to give more of himself than he should. he will always be the one to put himself out for someone he cares for, even at the expense of himself.

charismatic & sensitive.

          he is very compelling. he draws people in with his cute smile and well placed words. he'd much rather play his games or watch his anime, but he thrives in the public and on attention. he seems to come alive, playing people with his words, looks, and seeming innocence. he is great at telling people exactly what they want to hear to get his way. however, he has a heart of glass. it seems strong and as if nothing fazes it, but it is breakable and easy to crack. he just trist not to show when he is hurt by smiling.

flirtatious & unpredictible.

          aibek will shamelessly hit on everyone that even looks at him. he will flatter. he will casually touch or lean in to show interest. he will even drop cheesy pickup lines to get a laugh. it mixes well with his charisma and feeds into his desire for attention. he can be a bit rash however both in who he flrits with and day to day life. he has gotten into fights in the past for hitting on a taken girl. he is also known for doing what he wants, when he wants, without planning or permission.

free-spirited & airheaded.

          he doesn't care much about the opinions of those outside of those he cares for. he is independent, confident, and very sure of himself in most situations. why should he let the negative views of others get him down? it hurts his feeling most of the time, but he learned long ago to smile and keep going instead of feeding into the hater's desires. when not being overly flirty or on stage, aibek is just a big ol' goof. he is a bit foolish, naive, and tactless. he doesn't always read the moods of others well.

honest & forgetful.

          aibek doesn't say anything that he doesn't mean. he has dealt with liars, cheaters, and the very hateful while competeing as a gymnist. he has no time nor desire to feed into it and has instead swore to be as honest as he can be. he speaks his mind truthfully or not at all. he is very forgetful though and can be bad at taking things seriously. he is the type to forget promises or engagement he has that are a day or two after he scheduled them.

level-headed & blunt.

          not much rattles aibek. he is always cool, calm, and collected. he will smile through pain and anger. he will laugh through fear and refuses to cry in front of others. it takes a lot to get a visible negative response from aibek, instead gettng a sharp smile and biting words. he is honest to a fault, lacking tact and coming off as rude. his filter is nearly nonexistant, leaving him to seem harsh or uncaring of other's feelings when he truly does care.

BACKGROUND

aibek is the only child of zhuldyz and seunghyun, a couple who met while studying in kazakhstan together. his parents met in the library in a rather drama or romance like manner, bumping into each other while trying to get the same book for a class. the rest is a romance that spread over two years before marriage happened.

aibek grew up with rather high expectations placed on his shoulders. he was the first and only son. his father was a known surgeon while his mother was a sought after sectritary. they were beautiful and intelligent, both things aibek should be as well. 

his mother decided when he was two to enroll aibek into an introductory gymnastics class. it was one of her best choices because aibek loved it, even as he got older and it got more complicated. he liked the attention, the praise, and the recognition he recieved for his abilities. his father had even smiled in pride at him once when hearing the praise aibek recieved, something rare for the face sober faced or strict man. coaches had even talked of the olympics at one point, hoping to train the prodigy of the time. aibek was only focused on being the best he could be to gain his father's attention.

when aibek was seven, his father took a job in his home country and urged his family to move. aibek, familiar with korean due to speaking to his father and his father's family, didn't mind the move as much as he minded having to find a new coach for his gymnastics. he missed his favorite foods and friends. he missed seeing his mother comfortable and happy, but as most young children do, he adapted given time. that didn't mean he didn't often wish to return to the home he knew and was seen the most in.

he began focusing on floor routines as he got older and more serious in his practice of gymnastics. his mother radiated pride, but always told aibek, now sujin while in korea, that he could quit if he got tired of it. instead he picked up dance lessons on the side to work on his footwork and build a more solid routine for competitions. his father was proud and often spoke of aibek's wins and efforts to be the next olympic gymnist. aibek was always proud and pushed himself beyond what he should have. there were only limits before him to push past, not places to rest and learn.

when aibek was sixteen, he watched a friend of his shatter their wrist from a bad landing. later that year a friend broke ribs on the bars. knees went bad and people drifted away from the sport that seemed to only get more and more hard or competetive. it became less fun for aibek, and more scary. he didn't enjoy his routines and practices as much as he used to anymore, but he did enjoy dancing and how he could move his body to convey exactly what he felt without words. the gold medals just didn't mean as much to him as the music seemed to, not after nearly fourteen years. the answer to his lackluster adittude showed shortly after he injured his knees and was told he could never become a representitive or competitive gymnist again. he had only been trying a dificult routine, but it had been well beyond the hour of when he should have taken a break, and his knees finallly gave out from under him.

he refused to quit until he was eighteen and despite his injuries, pushing and trying well beyond what he should have. he had been working hard and eating less to try and keep himself in top shape. it became more of a struggle as he grew taller and filled out, his weight shifting and his build awkward. as he was in the middle of a flip, aibek became dizzy and weak. he nearly landed on his neck, but his spotter was able to save him last minute. he came out with a sprain and a desire to no longer partake in the art of gymnastics. dance was his only escape from his father's disappointment and harsh comments.

fearing disappointing his family farther, aibek began to try out for companies. he knew he was pretty and that he could dance. he knew that if he worked hard, he could be taken in by a company and use all the time he had put into gymnastics and dance. he knew that if he did something and succeeded, his family wouldn't be too upset with him.

at twenty, aibek was finally able to make it into a company. he had applied over and over, showcasing any and all skills he could think of until finally fantagio accepted him. the ceo had said that his passion was annoying but worthwhile. aibek was just relieved he could try and move forward into the spotlight and make his family proud, despite his struggles and pain. even after healing, he sturggled with his knees. he never fully let them heal, only pushing them as much as he could despite what he was toldby the doctor. as an adult, he pushes beyond the pain he siffers to try and be better.
