ELABORATION throughout the years, people associated taewon's personality with his face. if the kid looked mean on the outside, then he must be a jerk on the inside too! however, it isn't true. (ok maybe some of it) he's always been the type to make everyone laugh at anything and his jokes weren't the best - in fact they . he'd be the one laughing on his own. but people would laugh along because he made an effort and him laughing by himself was funny on it's on. the kid wasn't a social butterfly, but he still spoke enough for everyone to know him (the loud boy he is). he's never been dependent on people because he always felt like it'd be a burden and leave most things up to him and himself. taewon is like a crackhead when he doesn't sleep, that's when he gets most energetic and hyper and becomes carefree. i know right, hyper when you're sleep-deprived?? but taewon's energetic even with sleep, he'll jump from place to place and scream and shout and make lots of jokes about anything. 

 

he loves his friends more than anything and is usually always down for them. even though he's had a cold appearance, most people know deep down (even though he does display his emotions of care towards other well) that he puts his friends and family before himself all the time. people's feelings matter to him and he usually tries to brighten peoples day up.

 

however, he may seem like a lil ball of bursting joy, he's very short-tempered. in fact, he's a ticking time bomb. for taewon, anything can set him off real quick. so his friends are really careful around him about what they say or do. but once he's pissed off man - like sorry, you're stuck with satan for the whole day (or a few hours or minutes depending on how bad you pissed him). he's very irrational, in his mind the most stupid and reckless thing is the most reasonable option for him in his head. he does irrational things out of anger a lot of the times. even if he wasn't angry, still irrational kid. he's very impatient, he just wants things done quick and hates waiting around. he usually tends to not talk much to people he doesn't know and has a cold exterior around them and when they try and communicate with him, he replies with one or two words.

 

people say it isn't right of him to do this but - like father, like son, right? he's a huge player/ flirt when it comes to girls. it's a pretty bad habit, but he's actually never stayed committed to anyone, he's scared of committment, because he sees his friends in failed relationships and people he knew getting divorced. so he'd rather save the pain by not getting committed and just play around while he's still young. having to be known as one of the best players on soccer team AND being captain, he holds his head high, way too high. and arrogant. sometimes he looks like down on some people and comment bad things just because they aren't up to his level. 

 

STUDENT INFORMATION bang taewon, born being the youngest and only son, he was treasured very well by his family members. especially by his two older sisters. his family was strict growing up, so he had manners (luckily) and was a polite kid. taewon always loved the word, sports, growing up. he always spent his time after school playing kick the can or soccer or basketball in the streets of bordeux with the neighbours' kids that were his age. as the little boy grew, he was good academically, but focused rather on soccer and let his grades slip from time to time. when he turned 12, his parents suggested the idea they move to korea to live, but taewon never thought they'd go through the idea because they say it all the time but it never happened. plus, he hated change. he was comfortable in the country he lived in. 

 

when taewon moved to korea, he stopped playing soccer for a few months out of bitterness and anger of having to leave france and his friends and family behind. after a few months of his parents being annoyed about his resistance towards playing soccer, they signed him up for the youth team anyways and he had no choice but to play again. although he'd been wanting too for so long. he began to feel at home again when he played soccer, eventually becoming one of the best players on the team. when he got to highschool, he didn't really try for captain or anything - he just wanted to prove he was a better player than everyone else. when he was chosen as captain for the soccer team, it came as a surprise for everyone and some others on the team were angry. the kid who didn't care for the authority spot on the team was chosen.
 

when taewon was living in france, he had felt the need to rather be friends with these type people than another type, hence making his social circle pretty small. but when he moved to korea and reached highschool, he opened up more (because his coaches forced him). he was more upfront and forward. he did hang with his teammates, but he hung out with whomever he felt like being with that day. people say he's part of the popular boy squad because the amount of his friends, but he denies. although, he is popular among the females and loves to give them all the attention and play around.

CONNECTIONS
 

Baek Hyunjoo | best friend - #wedontseemlikebesties

baek hyunjoo, one of the first girls that talked to taewon when he first started highschool. taewon at first just thought she was the most annoying girl, she was "too materialistic" in his opinion about her. so he'd wave her off or just reply to her in flat out french, acting like he had know knowledge of korean. they started talking when he was at the cafe after practice just chilling there alone. hyunjoo happened to be there, but he ignored her existence until she walked by and on accident (like seriously on accident), her bag knocked over his drink. she turned around and panicked and apologized quickly. annoyed, he ignored her and got up to order another drink. she had come over to keep apologizing and right before the cashier took taewon's money, she took it and paid it with her money. "thanks." he told her and walked back to his seat. she followed him and tried to talk to him. "french kid!! I don't know your name... isn't bang taewon? i'm really sorry." he shrugged and continued scrolling on his phone. upset, hyunjoo left. they didn't start becoming friends until her twin brother (who was his friend), came over and nagged taewon about being kinder to his sister and etc. so after the next few days, taewon decided to apologize and talk to her more often just so her twin brother wouldn't kill him. but overtime, the two became super close. their relationship as friends consisted of them insulting each other and making jokes all the time. and at times, hyunjoo would be taewon's shoulder to cry on. 

"yah, hyunjoo-ah! stop eating my ing fries! I just bought you fries right in front of you!" taewon clenched his jaw. 

"I just helped you pass your math test! don't give me an attitude, taewon." hyunjoo glared at him.
"i just helped you pass your math test," taewon mocked. "if it wasn't for your brother, i would have thrown you out the window by now." 

"if it wasn't for my brother, i would have done the same." she rolled her eyes.

Hyunjoo's Twin Bro | best friends - #alittletoocomfortable 

baek hyunjoo's twin brother and taewon get along a little too well. though the two tend to have useless arguments about uselss topics that they think makes sense too each other (and only each other). they met when taewon came to the school and talked to the coach about their sport program. the head coach at hyunjoo's brother explain how everything works to taewon. because the two weren't in season yet for both their sports, they'd usually find interest in going to watch other sports practice, like basketball, swim, etc. the two have a relationship where they do everything together, almost every other week they'd be at each others house chilling and sleeping over, talking about girls - doing things boys do.

"i'm gonna go shower dude, be right back." taewon said as he opened his closet to get a towel.
"im gonna sit on the toilet while you shower, you shower too long so i get bored." hyunjoo's brother replied, getting up from the bed.
"ok ok, just don't pull open the curtains on me like last time." taewon warned. 

Jiang Kun | co-captain - #angelonhisshoulder

jiang kun is the soccer team's co-captain. he's very easy-going yet strict on the field. they're usually together always studying or practicing for the game together. he's the second best player on the team. as well as arrogant and cocky a bit like taewon, the two best players refuse to practice with anyone else but each other. however, he's quite the dork and makes actual good jokes (unlike taewon who's jokes waaay too much ). kun usually is seen as the opposite of taewon even though he does carry some traits like him. he's more of a bigger social butterfly and more bubbly. kun is usually the one who gives him advices about females and other necessary advices that taewon might need because he's very irrational. kun usually is one of the first people to break up a fight taewon gets into.  

 

"taewon, i feel like you need to think this through..." Kun mumbled.

"why can't we kick him off??" taewon grumbled. "he doesn't deserve to be on the damn team." 
"TAEWON WE CAN'T JUST KICK HIM OFF BECAUSE HE BORROWED YOUR SHIN GUARDS." Kun shouted in the locker room. 
"I'm so ready to kick you, you donkey ." Taewon threw his dirty towel at Kun's face. 
"Okay, kick me off - then who's gonna be there to save your when you get in trouble, hmm??" Kun grinned brightly.
