appearance.
Jaehwan has a natural brown hair, which is usually pulled back with the help of hairspray or wax, showing his forehead. His hair stops and third of a quater above of the base of his neck - not intending to make it any shorter or any longer. He has a fair skin because he is not fond of staying under the sun neither does he likes to work out, thus having no extra muscles. Jaehwan is seen rather skinny because of that very reason. As for his fashion style, Jaehwan is all about buttom up shirt with suit pants or anything smart for college. ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) . for a casual look, he usually wears plain white/black/mostly gray t-shirts and long pants paired with any running shoes as his footwear, keeping his looks simple but neat.
 
 soul
personality.
(+) smart, sincere, hard working.
(=) perfectionist
(-) strict, apathetic, blunt.
 
  The most obvious trait that Jaehwan possesses is that he is intelligent. he didn't get the title The Brain, for nothing. With an IQ of 150, he sure is known by at least the quarter of the population of the department of sciences for being one of the top 5 students in the classes he take. He is very quick in thinking of a solution and very opinionated as well, never giving a one-sided answers. He is good at his studies, not just because of he works hard for them, but also because he likes spending his times with books and surrounding himself with knowledge, he even has a mini library in his house.
 
 He is not lenient and especially strict when he is tutoring thus not many people (zero) would want to nominate him as the most fun tutor. He teaches with a constant scowl on his face, would not tolerate any mistakes and gives more works for those poor students so they'd be better by time the next session comes. He is one of those annoying people that complain someone's skirt is too short, too revealing and not appropriate. With that being said, he is also a perfectionist, he likes his clothes perfectly ironed with no wrinkles and his hair styled to perfection so not even a single hair sticking out (he spends atleast 30 mins on hair alone every morning), wants some kind of dress code on the turoring session - this length, cover this, cover that. He is strict on perfection like that.
 
 Jaehwan does not really understand people's emotions. Even though he is smart, he couldn't quite grasp the meaning of someone's feelings like he could automatically with facts and studies. Which has resulted him to be the apathetic guy that he is. He, himself, doesn't show much of emotions. He says and does things that he didn't know would hurt people's feelings, he just blurt his thoughts out. He doesn't know when to pat someone at the back, how to comfort people, always confused of why someone's crying or whether or not he is the cause.
 
  Jaehwan knew this but he doesn't want to live his whole life taking a good care of people's feelings. He doesn't enjoy having to try hard to please people every single second, thus he only give everyone what he feels like giving. He will offers people something only if he is sincerely wanted to and not to fake anything. He ignores people when he doesn't feel like talking, telling a girl that she looks fat or the dress looks horrible on her, telling someone out rightfully that his or her joke is not funny or just simply walks away in a middle of a conversation if it gets boring to him. Jaehwan is bluntly honest but due to him not fond of faking something to please people, he very genuine in everything he does.
 
background
 
  Jaehwan is the first and only son of the Kim Daeho and Shin Jihyun - which is a rather wealthy family. His father was the main lawyer for a large company before deciding to build his own law firm six years ago while his mother was a dress designer and tailor for a small but decent wedding shop - she quitted the job after after she got married to Jaehwan's father. How the two, despite being in two very different industries, met was Jihyun favourite story to tell Jaehwan when he was little. While Daeho was feeling indifferent about the concept of soulmates, Jihyun had always been the one girl that thought the whole thing is ridiculous - she likes freedom and having someone out there destined to be the only one perfect for her is not considered as freedom. The two met when both of them went for coffee break at the same café. Daeho would never wanted to admit that it was love at first sight but that was what Jihyun told Jaehwan everytime - as cliché as that sounded. "It doesn't have to be your soulmate, Jaehwan," she said everytime she caught him looking at his wrist, "love is a wonderful thing that will even happened to you."
 
  Jaehwan, since he was 5 years old, had been exposed to private classes here and there - ranging from musical instrument class to early languanges classes just because his father had been raised the same way. Education being the main ingredient in surviving this cruel world. When you are fully educated, no one can look down at you, he said. His father had been paying for the personal subjects tutors for Jaehwan since he was in middle school and continued until he was in the final year of highschool. Now, though, he is what people call tutor since he was a junior in the university. When he is not studying at home, he goes out to tutor some students - at the library, the study hall or at the café near the university compound. When the lecturer assigned him to help the students, he doesn't take any payments for it but sometimes he earned some income in exchange of helping some of his college mates in maths, biotechnology or physics. Since he is in the process of majoring physics, he mostly offers to tutor the subject.

relationships
— father / Kim Daeho / 46 / owner of Kim Law firm / quiet, rational, understanding, calm / "I'm forever grateful, you know that right?"
  Daeho and Jaehwan don't talk much since he hit his adult age,18 years old - just because of their mutual personality. Both men in the family are more of men of actions and dislike wasting words - unless there was a world issue to debate about. Which Jihyun just had to groan out loud about everytime the two started going at it and walked away. Daeho had always been a busy father since Jawhwan could remember but always made time to asked his son about his college, about his days. Other than that the two would just exchange nods on the hallways at home or in the living room. As for his fate/words, maybe it was due to the words showing that he will somehow be making an impact on his soulmate's life - Daeho never care much about those words. He found his love and that's all he cares about.
 
— Mother / Shin Jihyun / 43 / housewife / warm, compassionate, supportive /"I'm just happy that I kept my promise"
  Being the only talkative one in the family, it is only natural that she is the very bestfriend for both Daeho and Jaehwan. Jaehwan mostly goes to his mother if he feels bad about himself or for just some motherly warmth. 'Your soulmate can be anyone, sisters, best friends, me - but there would always be only one love of your life. Go find that person.' or 'she doesn't have to be your soulmate, Jaehwan.' something along those lines. Jihyun had never tell Daeho about her own words even though he had ask multiple times about them. Once, Daeho had promised that he is not going to live one day less than her and it was the promise that she will forever remember because she might be those few lucky people that found their soulmates in their love of their life.
 
— best friend / Kim Jongin / 21 / university student (senior) / active and sporty, loud, lively / "because I'm tired of being second every single time, Jongin."
  Jaehwan and Jongin couldn't be more different. One is active and loves sports with his heart while the other one loves his bed and cursed obnoxious football players almost daily. The two wouldn't have exchange any words if it was not because Jongin's family being Jaehwan's neighbour for 10 years. Jongin is the type of man that thinks sports especially football as his religion. As a the uni's football captain he spends his hours practicing, prioritizing his team before other things. he is the college's crush and pride. Jongin is the only one that Jaehwan is seen hanging out with in uni and he is the only sport man that Jaehwan can tolerate talking for more than one minute. Jongin is part of Jaehwan's childhood and Jaehwan is Jongin's. Jongin hates his words and would wear any wrist wear two cover those words from his sight. Sure, he flirted here and there but that just it. The only relationship he had been in is with his football team - the one that he would skip meals, sleep and almost everything for.
 
 fate
the words. (none)
plotline. the doomed
backup plotline. the mellow. (words : "I don't want to hold you back, I promise I'll be okay")
the reaction. as a kid, he kept on hoping that some words would magically appear on his wrist - any words. he kept on waiting until he is old enough to accept that he is not going to meet his soulmate or not going to ever know what her voice sounds like. He is so used to not seeing any words on his wrist that he always forgot the concept of soulmates. Jongin kept on saying he is lucky, his mother said he doesn't have to have a soulmate to fall in love, to be happy. He kept reminding himself that but he would be lying if he said that it doesn't bother him that he might be alone with his books until he is old. Even so, he didn't go on running to look for someone desperately.

 heart
love interest. Im Aesul (OC) & University student (junior) (fc: Lovelyz's Sujeong)
backup love interests. OC - (back up fc : A-pink's Eunji / 9muses's Minha)
birthday & age. 6th August 1995 & 20
current relationship. close friends
personality.
(+) grateful, loyal, optimistic
(-)  over-sensitive, slow/lazy thinker
 Aesul is known by her friends for her overly senstive self. Making her day is as easy as it is to ruin it. Making her cry, angry, annoyed, laugh, scared, heart-broken, touched, disappointed are the easiest thing to do. One second she was laughing at your joke and the next thing you know, she is walking away with stomping feet because she doesn't like the one word you're using. One time, she ignored her friend for a couple of days because he made her wait for just half an hour on a sunday morning. Other times, she broke down after her baking attempts failed for the second time. She gets mad on behalf of best friends, screaming and exaggeratedly declaring wars that is not her own. Her mood swings are the worst so not really many people can handle her so she cherished the ones that are willing to stay with her with her heart and to be as loyal as she can to them in the both good and bad days is the least she can do. 
 
 Aesul is pretty much a contented and secure person. she doesn't get jealous easily, rarely feels envy of the things she doesn't have. she feels insecure at times too, of course, she is a woman after all and she knows she is not as pretty, as smart, as cool as other people but she doesn't let that thoughts get to her too much. She is Aesul, she is herself. Her parents taught her to be grateful of what she has and now that's what her life motto is all about - not to get too greedy. She rarely care that she doesn't have the branded clothes that others have, or the latest version of iphone that people are getting now. She'd rather see the things that she has than what she doesn't have and which is why it doesn't take much to make this girl happy. which also might be the reason she is an optimist as well.
 
 Aesul is more of a do-er than a thinker, she loves anything physical - so it's the mental hard work that she finds difficult. She doesn't like to study at all. she is a major in arts because of that very reason. Aesul, even at university level, takes longer time to do a multiplication or even addition of two double-digits number - she had said her final goodbye to maths long ago in high school. She answers your questions by an 'I don't know' most of the time, even before the sentence is not yet finished, because she is too lazy to search her brain to get the answers, or just answer it with another questions. Aesul's catchphrases might as well be "what do you mean?" or "I don't understand"
 
background. "For now, you need to let me go"
 
 Unlike most people her age, Aesul had heard those words. As sad as her words are, she doesn't push the idea of love and relationships away - she is optimist that way. That is how she met Jung Heecheol, someone that is 3 years older than her - they met because of mutual friends. Clicked seconds after they both started talking. They had been dating for 2 years and a few months but that was an old old story. Heecheol is an ambitious person, wanted to work at his father's company in Japan and when he was not spending his time with Aesul, he worked hard to prove his father that he deserves that spot. Those words were said at the airport and when Aesul realized, all she said was "okay" because if those were his last words, he is not going to come back to her. She didn't call and he didn't either - what was the point? Aesul believed in destiny with all her heart so if fate already determined that Heecheol is not coming back then she is not going to fight it.
 
first meeting.
  
"You're Jaehwan? You don't look like a Jaehwan."
"Okay. Let's get started and not waste any time."
"Jaehwan is such a friendly name."
"Shut up."
"You didn't even smile or greet me."
 
  It is a compulsory for the students in the university to take at least 3 sunjects out of their faculty and Aesul, for some reason, took physics for her junior year. To say she was doing bad in the subject is an understatement - she either felt asleep at class or simply put on her infamous blank face in the classes. Her lecturer even tried to give her extra lessons, she improved but yeah, still bad - so that was how she met The Brain. Aesul being Aesul, she is quick to judge Jaehwan to be a bad tutor when he asked her for her phone in addition to her first impression of him being so scary, greeting her with a frown.
 
"I don't like you already, how am I supposed to be better if I'm getting help from someone that I don't like? I don't like physics also. And you know what? I'm going to fail this semester like before because someone I don't like is going to help me study a subject I hate-"
"Blue. Shut up."
"Blue?"
"We're not here because I want you to like me and we have works to do and you and your nice blue nails need to work with me, okay?"
"Aw. You think my nails are nice? I take it all back, I like you."
 
  That was basically how the two started it off. Thanks to her kinda bipolar personality, Jaehwan is not ever going to see her as an another people to tutor. Aesul on the other hand had her day made because of a simple compliment. 
 
interactions.
 
"Blue?"
"Yes."
"Shut up."
"You have no right to-"
"Please."
"Okay."
 
As Aesul and Sehun continued to meet up thrice a week (Aesul is that bad), they two actually became closer and closer - despite the odds against them. Well, Jaehwan is forced to be close with her because Aesul said herself, if he made her don't like Jaehwan, she is going to fail (Jaehwan thinks this is ridiculous but still went with it). The two always end their sessions later than expected because Aesul just loves cut in here and there to tell Jaehwan stories about her days. aesul also digged in some information about him from Jaehwan, himself - about his birthday, favourite color, favourite food and lots more. Even though Jaehwan seemed forced to be friends with her, it actually amuses him how she always has something to talk about, not even trying to make a conversation and just basically talks with herself. He wouldn't admit that though and told her to shut up for like at least 3 times an hour.
 
"You know those foreign movies that have these girls that is so dumb, you just wanted to punch them?" 
"No." 
"You remind me of them."
 
To say that the two bickered a lot is sort of an understatement. At first, Jaehwan was stressing out of
how easily she said 'I don't know' to every question he fired to her while Aesul is frustrated by how Jaehwan thought she could answer every single of his questions. However the bickering didn't stop at their studies, they fight over petty things such as when Jaehwan refused to picked up Aesul's pencil after he knocked it off to the floor or when the two were kicked out of library because Aesul screamed when seeing a bug. They even have a verbal fight over the best movies or songs or genres or just anything. Jaehwan would sometimes threw insensitive comments here and then without thinking like 'that dress is ugly' when Aesul bought it with her first payment - in short, Jaehwan had made Aesul cry so many times.
 
"Hello?"
"Jaehwan. Where are you?"
"Why?"
"I want have lunch with you."
 
at first, Aesul was usually the one out of the two that initiated everything - from having lunches at university together to treating him oreo milkshakes after their tutorial sections - which is Jaehwan new favourite on top of his all-time fav bubble milk tea. Even outside the sessions, these two hang out. This is where they started to talk about the deeper stuffs such as their families, his most wanted scholarship to UK, Aesul's dream to travel the world despite her very bad english, about Jongin, about Heecheol and more. The two couldn't be more different but somewhere along the way, the two becomes bestfreind. The two couldn't not bicker when they are together but not as much after couple of months hanging out - they still can't agree with one another on which genre is the best. the two become eachother's diary, eachother's important part whether or not they noticed it.
 
"Blue. Wait for me after your photography class later, I'll send you off to work."
"You can always call me when you can't sleep, okay Jaehwan?"
"Blue, you want me to accompany you doing
your art work?"
"You are loved, Jaehwan, what's not on your wrist doesn't matter. Your parents, Jongin and even me"
 
From walking with her to her job to sending her off to her classes, Jaehwan did it all. Just because he knew, even though he doesn't like to say it out loud, that he likes Aesul's company and her mood swings are not so unpredictable now. Just like how Jaehwan likes to study facts and all those formulae, he kinda observed Aesul's likes, dislikes, pet peeves and all that - he called it Blue-ology or Aesulogy. Another reason why he wanted to be with her is that she always made him worry sick. He knows even before he befriend her, Aesul can take a good care of herself but how can someone with a mind like Aesul's be always safe? She might ride in a black suspicious van because she wasn't thinking much about it. When it comes to Aesul, Jaehwan wasn't thinking much, which is not him because he overthinks a lot, all he wants is to make her constantly happy. Aesul of the other hand, being the loyal girl that she is, will gladly run miles away or wakes up at 3 a.m to answer his calls if Jaehwan needs her.
 
ending. 
 
"Jaehwan, remember when you told me you want to continue your study in UK?"
"I think I know where you getting to, Blue."
"Then the other day, you said it's hard for you to trust me to be own my own."
"I can hear you sniffing."
"It's just, you know, it made me happy that you said that but then. It'd be selfish for me to keep you here when you can go anywhere with that brain"
"Blue, shut up."
"..."
"please"
"okay"
"I won't ever. ever! tell you to let me go."
"but, that'd be me holding you back and I shouldn't..right?"
"You should if that's what you want"
"is that what you want?"
"yes. I want that very much"
"go to sleep now. i'm hanging up"
"why do i hear sniffs again?
"go to sleep, Jaehwan. bye"
"if your brain is too slow to catch what i was just implying, I'll say it out loud. i like you, okay? i don't need soulmates, i need you"
"um. bye. hanging up "
"I don't understand"
*whispers* "I like you too" *line disconnected*
 
(LOL WHAT IT THIS. I MIGHT REWRITE THIS INTO LEGIT PARAGRAPH IF I HAVE THE MOTIVATION)
(you know the ending is up to you right? doesn't have to be like exactly like this. i just want the cliché bestfriends turn to lover kind of thing) 
 
 autograph
comments. you can call me ziem c: and for the love interest, I just wrote down the back up face claim since it is an oc, so the name and occupation is still the same. if that's not what you wanted then I will gladly change that. I've always wanted to do a tutor-me-senpai relationship even though it's cliché so I'm v sorry if their interaction is not realistic / too cheesy hehe.
requests.
• you can make Heecheol come back for a while if you like the drama lol like both Jaehwan and aesul saw him but Heecheol doesn't
• late night calls between the two of them
• Jaehwan invites her to dinner at his home
