lee jinwoo

• older brother figure of group
• lots of younger cousins???
• birthday on valentine's! (aka i get to reuse the funny trainee stories from the old app because that is the hill i will die on)
  • the group has to do something for him on his birthday; i swear-
• plotline carmine
• love interest from the group
  • hanahaki for someone else though? wants to get surgery but the company won't let him because of publicity (also, tells the company who it's for honestly because he kind of wants the srugery? hello? possibly dying here?)
    • maybe a fellow trainee who he got really close to? helped him out a lot during his time training
    • or a model! super friendly but for some reason decided jinwoo was his new bff when he started at the agency; seemingly puts jinwoo first and was just so kind that jinwoo got a crush (and didn't expect more from it? thought it'd go away after all the trainee stuff? but actually became olympus's number one fan and made jinwoo's crush turn into flowers)
    • secretly has a girlfriend; when he tells jinwoo, jinwoo wants to get the surgery done immediately because he's not dying for something that isn't going to happen in the first place, but the company won't let him
    • maybe is not a model but a worker at the agency? then his girlfriend isn't a secret, but he only tells jinwoo about it when they're engaged because essentially jinwoo isn't his first priority but he's really good at making it seem like the person he is talking to is - which is what had caught jinwoo's eye in the first place
    • genuine good guy but not as close to people as he seems (aka jinwoo gets hit in the face with how selfish he was in his own love - centering on himself - turning around and seeing olympus there, worrying and loving him even though he's essentially doing the same thing - holding them at a distance)
      • the company keeps the girlfriend thing secret and orders the model / worker to not tell jinwoo - maybe the modeling agency is an offshoot of imagine? - but when he finds out, he's pissed, out of love (because it definitely is going to be through the engagement), and out for blood. olympus is behind him and he's grateful for them.
    • strain c-2 but everyone thinks it's c-1. so he's like at least i won't die from it, unlike some of our members. i'll just keep on taking my meds and focus on them first. then he collapses and everyone is freaked out (and mad at company when they discover it was treatable but they refused).
      • unable to tell which one for sure, but definitely c. makes jinwoo more angry because he doesn't want to risk dying just because of publicity - he barely even sees hanahaki-guy nowadays! what is he dying over him for?
      • because of the varying symptoms, basically hates living with hanahaki. i'm thinking headaches, nausea, shortness of breath, and general exhaustion at least. nothing that's life-threatening but makes his life hard, especially as an idol given they want him to keep on doing stuff even with the flowers growing in his lungs.
• generally passive and calm but basically the one people turn to when situation goes sideways
  • type who keeps to himself, even within Olympus, until post-stage-incident
  • sad background that makes him think that he's unimportant? or at least no one's priority? so being an idol is his way of making himself someone's priority? ; u ;
    • dead parents? raised by an aunt / uncle (who recently lost significant other?) who works all the time. is essentially told that he was taken in to help take care of the kids because he was the "oldest" (10? 12?) and will only be provided for until he graduated high school.
      • ok, no sob stories. so how about they're just super busy and they try, but they're awkward and definitely care about their kid more than him. plus, he knows they're struggling financially so he leaves to be a kpop idol on his own and refuses their money.
    • doesn't know how to be taken care of because he's so used to taking care of others instead
    • finally allowed to be a trainee after high school graduation aka 18 aka has to provide for himself now
      • part-times while trainee: flower shop (like his parents' shop ; u ;), restaurant, music store
• trope: the sweet secondary love interest no one picks despite being the best boyfriend figure ever in cliche kdramas
• literally everyone freaks out when he spits up flower petals on stage because absolutely no one knew
