ELABORATION —

• Jay is the geeky, sporty girl who likes to meddle and poke her nose into other people's love life. She prefers to read mangas or books in her free time, as well as draw or play soccer outside. Jay is candid and says things honestly and frank. She can't really hide her feelings, even though she wants to, her face naturally expresses it. She's also a bit social, meaning that she can talk with people whom she's never met, but doesn't let anyone in easily and has a tight circle of friends. She prefers to have one or three true friends, than a lot of known acquaintances or so-called friends. Jay can be quiet sometimes, especially when she meets knew people, because she doesn't really know what to say, but she dislikes uncomforable silences so she tends to fidget and quickly think about topics that her and that person can talk about. So, she always ends up uncovering a certain interest of that person, and once she feels comforable with that person she'll chatter on like there's no tomorrow. She's very loyal and protective towards her loved ones, meaning that she will not simply stand aside and let others hurt them. She will definetly rise to the occasion. She's usually friendly, polite and calm, however when she sees something unfair or an unjust situation presents themselves to her she gets frustrated and angry, her temper rises and mouth acts up, words being as sharp as knives, while her glare is unwavering and piercing. Her stubborn, impulsive and nosy nature often get her into trouble. She's never liked feeling helpless, so that's why she charges on without much thought.

Ever since her mother died, Jay has had to grow up fast. She's independent and doesn't rely on others. She knows that she has the responsibility of taking care of her siblings and helping out her father who's always busy with work at the hospital. She doesn't want to be a burden to anyone and so she thinks it's much easier just doing things on her own. Between taking care of the twins, school work, soccer practice and club activities, she doesn't think she has time to go our for parties or other such activities. If she's at one, it's probably because her friends dragged her and she's probably thinking that she could have spent that time reading, studying or watching dramas. If you ask for her opinions on something she'll tell you the truth or her honest opinion. For example, "Does this dress look good on me? Even though some may say "Yes", if Jay thinks it doesn't she'll shake her head and say, "Mmm, maybe you should try another one. That dress is not flaterring." She's not afraid to say what she's thinking or express her own opinion about stuff. If Jay sees some of her friends getting mistreated or hurt, she wouldn't hesitate to go over to the person who hurt them and give them a piece of her mind. However, when it comes to talking about her parents or anything that makes her feel sad or upset, she prefers to just stay quiet and deal with it herself. Jay hasn't fully opened up to people, even though her true personality is to be an honest and straight-forward person, if you ask the people around her what they know about her family life they would stop and realize that she's never mentioned anyone of her family members. She's very reserved about it, and will only talk about it at her own time.

Whoever knows Jay, knows that she looks calm but she's actually quite bossy. Always nagging after others, and of course with two younger siblings it has become a habit. She doesn't mean anything bad by it, that's just her way of worrying about that person. However, there is one apparent weakness to Jay that's very evident once you get to know her. If Superman's weakness was kryptonite, then food is Jay's. Even when she's mad, buy her food and she'll glare at you but soon enough, once she's eating it will all soon be forgotten. If she's still angry at you even after the meal, then you must have done something to get scolded for. Jay's witty and determined, always wanting to have the last word in everything. She hasn't really fallen in love, or so she believes, she's had crushes but not love. She hates being in a position where she's vulnerable. She always puts up a strong act but she's really just scared of being abandoned or left behind by someone she cares about again. She doesn't talk about her mother's death or father's indifference to her and how it's affecting her, she just decides to keep her mind busy on other things. Trying to remain as optimistic as she can, not letting her own thoughts or feelings get the better of her. She's quite down to eartch and practical. However, that all applies when it comes to her, this however doesn't stop her from being a closet romantic, and a meddlesome matchmaker. Still, Hyunwoo always thought that she was caring, independent and nagging yet he could always see her childish, insecure and clumsy side, and likes to bring these aspects of her personality out. 

 

BACKGROUND + FAMILY LIFE —
             

• Jay was born in Busan, South Korea. She was born into a very loving family. Her father is a doctor and her mother was a professor. Her parents lived in Boston, but her mother wanted to give birth with her family in Seoul. A few months after Jay was born, they returned to Boston. When Jay was 5 her twin siblings were born. Since young, Jay and her father always had a tradition of seeing soccer games. Jay grew to love the game simply because of how her father and her passed the day. It was always very exciting and fun. That was one of the reasons why she wanted to tryout for soccer at 9 years old. Her father was estatic, her mother complied since she saw Jay so excited. Jay started being defense and then moved up to forward. This also helped her gain confidence, since before that kids would bully her because of her ethnicity. She had a hard time making friends because of her candid nature. People would call her smart a** and even some teacher would get annoyed when she corrected them in class. She wasn't super intelligent, but she did like to participate in class and enjoyed learning. This had it's effects on her. She was bullied because of this as well, kids using the same old stereotypes to mess with her. She only got into a fight once at school, and that was because one of the kids insulted her parents. She didn't think and punched the boy square in the face. She got detention for three days, and was almost suspended if it not for one of her friends who had witnessed the fight and said that the boy started it. However, Jay's mother had a talk with her about Jay using her words instead to end arguments, for violence only leads to more violence. Jay was never one to fight anyways, but she just didn't like it when other people insulted her loved ones. Still, soccer helped to make friends and after a year everything seemed to get better. She didn't really pay attention to those remarks, and once they saw how she played everyone thought differently of her. She turned into a very bright and geeky kid. 

Jay and her mother were off doing some shopping, they were supposed to get home earlier, but they had decided to go watch a movie. It had rained that evening, they were on their way back from the mall, when suddenly a car drove through a red light, hitting the their car from Jay's mother's side. Jay was 12, uncounsious and her mother died on their way to the hospital. Three months after the sudden death, Jay's father announced that they would be moving to Seoul. He had a better job there, working at his father's hospital. Jay didn't really know her grandparents from her father's side, but apparently they were wealthy and snobbish. They provided a house for him to stay with Jay and the children, as long as he would work for the hospital, and begin the process of becoming the heir. Her father was very busy with work, so they hardly saw him. The children were left alone in that house for three weeks, until their grandmother found a proper housekeeper. In that first week, was when she met Hoseok. Jay's life was suddenly turned upside down. The middle school she was sent to was an international private middle school. Since, she grew up in the US, even though her parents did talk to her in Korean, she still had a hard time adjusting to the formalities of the language and culture. Still, she tried her best to please her father, since she rarely saw him.Since her mother's death, her father had been shut in his work at the hospital, they were becoming distant from one another. She feels insecure about his affections for her, and wonders if he just wants to get away from them. Still, meeting Hoseok helped a lot. And she did manage to make friends in middle school, one of her best friends Park Sooyoung. She was glad that when she suggested to go to the same high school as Hoseok and Sooyoung, her grandmother did not object, for Daejeon Prep was a well-known and prestigious high school. 

Sooyoung was a sophmore at Daejeon Prep, they had gone to middle school together and had met there in the school's soccer team, Sooyoung is midfielder. They saw each other at the entrance ceremony, and were about to meet on the first day of classes at lunch, the very same day she met Haeyoung and Jooheon. Jay would have no idea of what was in store for her a few months later. When the fated day came, her practice was over so she decided to shower and change quickly in the locker room, and go watch the boy's basketball team practice, because she wanted to see Hyunwoo. Sooyoung was going to meet up with her boyfriend, Sungjae, at the cafeteria. She was walking over to sit on the benches when she saw a red headed Jooheon crouching over something on the other side of the gym. Jay dismissed him and focused on Hyunwoo playing, she noticed that his face was tired and he seemed like he wasn't enjoying it. However, her thoughts wondered again to Jooheon. She stood up and sneaked to edge in closer to where he was at. As she did this, suddenly red dust exploded and covered everything, it threw her a couple of feet away from where she stood. Jay fell to the ground covered in red dust. She coughed as she tried to stand up, taking the insides of her shirt to wipe her eyes. She noticed Jooheon next to her. "What did you do?!" Jooheon shook his hair, making dust fall on Jay again. "Jooheon!" she coughed. "Sorry." He mumbled, before scurrying away. She coushed again, as someone next to her shook his head once again. "Oh, sorry. You ok?" The boy helped her wipe her eyes with the inside of his shirt. "Thanks." she said, and looked up to see Hyunwoo. Oh great!, she thought.

After all the commotion, and seeing that everyone was okay, Jay walked to the girls locker room to shower again, all the while glaring at Jooheon and hoping that Haeyoung lets him have it. 

 

RELATIONSHIPS — 
                                                           

                                                       

• The Accidental Friend - Oh Haeyoung (16) - freshman - caring, calm, vague - Haeyoung did not mean to help Jay out. They were next to each other in the entrance ceremony, and had glanced at one another but never spoke. It wasn't until the first day of school, Jooheon was getting ready to "welcome" some first year students early in the morning Jay, along with Haeyoung, and a few other students were the first to arrive early that morning. Jay and Haeyoung were about to enter the building when Haeyoung saw from the corner of her eye a red headed Jooheon looking down from the window with a bucket, waiting for a very special freshmen. Haeyoung saw Jooheon and dodged quickly, pushing Jay out of the way along with her. Jooheon poured the bucket of water all over a poor first year boy who was behind them, followed by a pack of flour. Jay's mouth was hanging open, and she looked up to see just a flash of red hair dissapearing from the window. She turned to thank the girl who pushed her out the way. Haeyoung was confused by this, since she was just trying to get out of the way herself, she was going to say this but Jay kept thanking her, that Haeyoung found herself just nodding to the girl. Jay then proceeded to the boy who was covered in flour and gave him some tissues. Haeyoung passed by them, and Jay after asking the boy if he was okay, ran after Haeyoung. They entered their classroom, and Jay didn't hesitate to sit next to Haeyoung. After that, their friendship sort of developed in a way, that Jay just started following Haeyoung like a lost puppy, since she had the impression that Haeyoung was nice, and Haeyoung everytime she thought of telling the girl to leave her alone, would see her toothy smile and would give in. Jay started noticing that other people would be scared and even hate Haeyoung. To Jay this seemed odd, since she saw that Haeyoung was quieter and had serious expressions but she was always nice to Jay. However, she doesn't understand why Haeyoung would be best friends with that bully Jooheon. But at the same time, as they spent more time together Jay sees how Jooheon and Haeyoung's friendship is, and begins to understand. There's a very strong bond between them, Jooheon is kind to Haeyoung, and vice versa. If only Jooheon could be like that with everyone else.
