APPEARANCE
• a jock who doesn't look like one but seems like one is the best expression to describe kim yian. at first two glances, you would probably think that he fits the best as a popular guy. a tall, lean dude with a sheep-ish like face plus a fair skin that would totally make him look like one.. but that's just his exterior. the first shell before you get to know anything about him. after a while, when words spread around. information acquired. or when you spend time with him, you'll definitely notice those rocks hidden underneath his shirt. on a daily basis you can see how his arms would flex naturally whenever he tried to reach over something or how those veins appears as if they gonna burst anytime soon when he crushes the tin can with his hand. he might not be a showy, but once you actually find out that he's a jock. those tiny extra details would appeal and confirm even more that this kid really a jock.
OTHER — under the shade, yian's hair would appear as black olive and so does his eyes. but if you actually look at him face to face or in a close proximity under the sun, you will eventually notice that he is actually a brunette with a very dark brown shade in eyes too. and on your ways into losing yourself in his eyes, you'll notice that he has a small beauty mark underneath his right eye. yian never intend to pierce any part of his body since it's weird or as he often reasoned that he's a guy. but he did intend to have a couple tattoo, big or small. colourful or black. any kind. he just want to do it with his future partner.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT — 188 centimeters and 70 kilograms
FASHION SENSE
outside school fashion wise, yian isn't that much of a picky person. and neither did he has a certain criteria that he must have in wearing one. but that doesn't mean that he's a sloppy dresser. try having a mother and sister as fashion designer, then you'll get an unlimited range in clothes. his clothes might not always up with the trend, but good enough to make him look nice. since the two women in his life had make sure that he always got a fashion check every time before he goes out, it's pretty much confirm that he rarely pick out his own clothes and even if he did, it would usually be a t-shirt and a pair of jean. ['it's the basic choice that won't make me had to change my clothes again after putting it on.'] while a home, yian had been given full freedom on what he wear which usually just a  short with t-shirt and sometime just a pair of sweat pant with basketball jersey. anything that feels airy to him,
women's choice
his choice
homie style
inside school yian actually tries to tone down a lot of the two women's influence on making him look like a model straight out from magazine. he don't want to look like the popular student or like the jock who has chicks flocking around them all the time. yian just wanted to be yian. thus he often seen in his club's uniform which is just a pair of training pant and a jacket with a small logo of their club. since they didn't provide any t-shirt for the members, yian just wears plain white t-shirt most of the time. he reasoned that white can attract less attention from other.
PERSONALITY TRAITS — 
+ impartial, courteous, supportive, collected
- perfectionist, self-reliant, indecisive, calculative
ELABORATION —
• 'ian was never the one who would participate in team competition.' sure yian isn't a fussy person in general. but whenever he's in his zone which usually in his practice, it's pretty hard to meet his expectation. when he decided for A, A it'll be till the end. but the only good thing in this is that he's only hard on himself. the fact that he ony depend on himself had actually save his teammates for once. it's not the win that he always seek in every competition. but what he seeks is that the feels of achieving something by himself; his effort solely. he rather be down by himself than letting down the whole team. thus that's eplained a lot on why he prefer single race/work in general. 'he always leave the decision for other to make.' when it comes into voicing his own decision for other, yian never actually like to partake in such situation. he openly dislike the feeling of being pressure into choosing things. if he really knows what he likes, he'll say it. but when you ask it to think on the spot, he will back out from it. if you want an answer from him, you need to ask him a few hours before, for him to think about the consequences of his decisions. he rather has his friends call him a chicken or loser than having him made a decision that he'll be dissapoint in.
• 'a jock shouldn't notice those off-beat.' yian believes in equality greatly. he believes that everyone should be treated the same regardless their status or reputation. though he might not state it openly, you can see how he never spoke ill about other people. or the fact that he never really turn down anyone who attempt to hold a small conversation with him. sure he isn't that friendly or talkative. but he appreciated the effort that the other did just to talk to him first. 'he might not be in, but he'll be there for emotional support.'  in most situation, yian rarely lose his cool. he has this cool demanour that make he look like he had everything laid perfectly under his belt. even though we know it's half lies. this side of him appeal strongly whenever his friends are in need of moral support. mostly happened during competition. as someone who doesn't involve in team race, yian usually will stay at the match till the end as he just sit there and claps here and there for support; regardless the result or whether they notice or not his presence amongst other people.

BACKGROUND + CURRENT EVENTS —
• yian lives in a household that consist of 4 family members including himself. they had a stable income despite the fact that his father had quit his work as a nurse to be a full-time house-husband. their main income came from his mother's occupation as fashion designer from quite a big brand and some from his father's safe.
as yian grew up, he had learned that his mother had always preferred daughter over son. unlike his sister, who was taken care personally by her mother till she aged 1 year old. yian was taken care by his father right after his mother's postnatal period ended. growing up, yian never actually felt the need to satisfy himself other than his mother. he had never been good in making choice of his own as what he had been done has always been something related to his mother directly or indirectly. the fact that he couldn't built the interest in fashion unlike his sister, yian couldn't connect well with his own mother. despite his father's words of saying to do thing you like, yian couldn't do that. so the moment when 7 years old yian learned that his mother like swimming other than doing fashion. yian had himself learning to about how to like the water that had been his enemy since age 4. he actually forced himself to love swimming and attended the 4 hours long class at swimming pool with his father tagging along with him. at the age of 8 years old , yian actually managed to somehow got himself qualify enough to join the swimming team in his middle school. and that was probably the first time he witnessed a small smile in his mother's face that actually directed for him without his sister's presence around him. but he aging through the years, yian had gained 3 things from life. first, his mother's attention won't ever be on him without his sister in presence; second, he had unintentionally found comfort in swimming and fall in love with it and third, he learned that his father was his mother in disguised, a nosy one too while at it.
• yian had grew up into a quite decent young man. heck he's even one of the star swimmer for his school. he had earned a few medal and certificates for himself. yet none of that had really managed to make him stand as the same level as his sister as she's now working under their mother's wing as a fashion designer too. but the thought of earning his mother's full attention had been long forgotten as he knows his effort will mostly be fruitless. yian swims for his own achievement and he's pretty much set to join the national swimming if he manages to push himself more. and if not, well he hadn't imagine himself to be something else yet other than a swimmer actually we'll see is the safest bet he could say.
residing in hayang high for almost 3 years, yian had unintentionally earned himself the title as the pretty boy jock. he's still the indecisive guy that existed during his childhood except that now he started to slowly do thing that revolve around him. not just for his mother's satisfactory. he had people around him but still keeping his doofus best friend, jisoo. and as he's approaching the final year in high school, yian vows to really do thing for himself. he had promised both his father and jisoo that he going to really do something else that doesn't just involve swimming.
 
RELATIONSHIPS —

• older sister - kim yi hyun (25) - fashion designer - fussy, nosy, bright, confident - they wasn't the closest siblings ever exist, but neither did them the distance. yihyun probably the only person that actually get to hear yian's blunt opinion as she often asked him to test the sample clothes that her company working on. yihyun often likes to peer inside yian's life as she thought that it's the most interesting thing in the world. needless to say, it's pretty obvious that yihyun tried to make up for the lack of love from their mother to yian. though yian don't actually mind about it. he still appreciate and love her no matter how many times she barged into his room without permission.
 
replace with fc
• best friend - kim ji soo (19) - student/captain of swimming team - devoted, extravagant, slow-witted, cheerful - meet ji soo, yian's one and only best friend. they had been friends ever since middle school and luckily had been classmate since then. undeniably that there were times when yian couldn't stand how over-exxegerated his best man are, but it's not like yian can do anything aside from just accept him. though there were a lot of times where yian quietly ditched jisoo from attracting too much attention to them by his over-friendliness with the other jocks and sometimes the popular. but most of times, you will see the two giant hanging around each other a lot. it been said that jisoo's very frustrated seeing how chicken his friend being with approaching 'the' junior of them.

• a junior - han sang in (17) - student - it isn't hard for yian to not notice the girl. as he often heard the floating rumors about the girl. never did he believe one of it are true. standing up to his believe in equality, never did he ever being weirded out by the girl's appearance or dare to judge the girl. yian always reasoned that he never had witness such things ever happen in front him yet. at least until now maybe?

LOVE INTEREST — jung, ho seok
BACKUP — none
 
PERSONALITY —
• who is jung hoseok actually? is he an alien? is he an undercover agent? or is he a homo? not that it's bad thing. it's actually a great news for yian actually. but let put that question aside first. the point is if you ask every single person in Hayang, none of them are capable to give a solid answer about the existence of jung hoseok.
have you ever take a moment to actually sit down and observe this student who we call as jung hoseok? [yian slowly raised his hand. the creator casually ignored yian.] if no, then do it. jung hoseok might come off as a very distance young man. a guy that look like he wants to get pass high school quickly and get away from the hormonal, airhead students. but that's not all of it. that moment when he thought no one look at him, that moment when he feels no such presence beside him. he starts to longing. longing for something that he had years before. look at him in the eyes, lose yourself inside his dark brown orbs and you'll know how lonely and how desperate this young male is for someone to ask him is he okay; or does he need a shoulder to lean on; or just a simple it'll be okay, a phrase that some people take light of but means a huge thing for hoseok. and if you ask me, jung hoseok is like an abuse cat. alert of human, a step closer to him make him run away but at the same time yearning for a touch of affection and still want to at least has someone's eyes on him or in other words care for him.
LOVE STORY
• yian was training in hayang high's pool. despite the fact that it's just the first day of school. yian thought that he shouldn't wasted any more time and make up for the loss of practice during the  last week before school started. sure there wasn't any competition held, but his body itched for the chlorine water so why not?
before starting the final set lap for the day, yian swam to the corner of the pool and stayed there. he pulled the nearest buoy rope along and rested his head on it. he stayed floating around for about 10 minutes before his session abruptly interrupted by the sound of the door slammed.
unlike a normal person, yian's first instinct told him to submerge mouth-deep. yes it did sounded stupid, but he just happened to be a bit stupid that day. probably had too much water in good head. he stayed hidden behind the buoy as he scooted closer to the corner. it's definitely not because he's scared. but first who the heck stayed back 3 hours after school. some jocks maybe, but none of the other swimmer stayed for that day. and second who actually had a black hoodie on a 27 degree day? so it did switched on his alert sense.
meanwhile hoseok had a pretty rough day on his first day as a high schooler. he barely- no he didn't get to make any friend. or more like they barely noticed his presence. he had to sit at the very back of the class. and to top it all he had somehow locked himself in the janitor closer for 3 hours after class. how it happened? he was asked by his classmates for once to put back the broom they borrowed. and somehow the door had locked itself. he did tried asking for help, but unfortunately for him the janitor closet located at an isolated path. he only had himself out when a janitor came by to keep his things.
instead of going him right away, hoseok sauntered to the rooftop. but only to find it locked. he wanted to be somewhere alone. and that when he let his feet brought him to the school pool.
yian stayed in his heels. he let his eyes trailed along every movement hoseok made. he dipped his legs into the water and let it dangle lifelessly. he placed his bag aside and just stared at nothing. and the moment hoseok pulled his hood down was the moment where yian felt something tingling in his stomach. he recognized it pretty quickly. and admitted right away that the boy in front him was ethereal.
it would be lying if yian said that he didn't tried to approach hoseok. but seeing how his face  shrouded by darkness, yian stopped in his track. fighting over the coldness, yian stayed in the water for another 30 minutes until hoseok had exited the pool. you could said that his body wrinkled and almost turning into blue. luckily for him, jisoo had came around as he heard from yian's father that he hadn't came back from school yet. he was rolled into a large cocoon for the whole night under jisoo's surveillance.
 
• throughout the half year, it wasn't that easy for yian to find hoseok. he had asked his friends if they ever know a pretty guy with ethereal face but looked a bit lonely. but much to his dismay, it was hard to locate or get the name of an off-beat. yes he knew that hoseok's an off-beat a week after trying searching for him. and with his training there wasn't much progress for him.
 on the day where yian expect the least, where the thought of hoseok being pushed down with other stuff occurred in his life. yian was chilling with jisoo during weekend. on their way home from movie on a chilly night, yian suddenly had the urged to ride bus. despite getting all cranky and noisy, jisop still went along with his best friend.
it's an hour before midnight so there weren't much people in the bus. while jisoo dashed for the furthest seat at the back, yian chose to sit at the very front to inhale the night view of the road.
stop by stop the bus passed by, yian watched as people step in and out. then there he was. yian's gaze and breath immediately stopped when he spotted the same ethereal face he saw before. his heart racing in excitement but he kept his collected demeanour. he couldn't turned around and looked as it'll be too obvious. so he pretended to take a selfie of himself; when he adjusted the angle if his camera, he zoomed straight to hoseok's face. it's lucky that hoseok a few seat behind him. yian even sent the picture to jisoo with a few excited emoji exclaiming it's him.
with the new piece of picture, yian planned that it'll be easier to find the next day. but jisoo being an idiot, decided to be the man and do his friend some good deed. yian who only being told about that after they got down from the bus had to fight the urge to punch his friend and hug him.
'why i never see him?'
'who actually spend their lunch eating at the pool?'
'oh.'
since then, yian make an effort to eat in the cafeteria. he always keeps an eyes and alert with hoseok's presence. but never did he tried to approach the latter one. he wanted to, but he always questioned himself.
'do he want to be friend?'
'what if he find i'm creepy?'
'did he ever noticed me?'
'why now? after months, won't he feel weird why i wanted to approach him?'
—and so on. his brain had worked to detain him, to make him chicken out and only stayed back at the background instead. it had always been an issue whenever jisoo and him stayed together in lunch. only the two of them without any other people. thus that's why jisoo told the story to yian's father and made him promised both of them that he'll do something before he finish high school. 
 
RELATIONSHIP —from then on, yian actually tried to make small effort. he often 'accidentally' brushed over hoseok. purposely take a long route just to walk pass hoseok's class to catch a glimpse of the latter. but he never tried to initiate a small talk or actually tried to sit close to latter yet. the fact that hoseok always indulged in his own thought had make him overlook the senior. to other people, hoseok might be an off-beat and yian was the jock. but to yian, he is the off-beat while hoseok the popular one. even when jisoo had tried pulled yian to sit with hoseok, he just misunderstood it and thought that the jocks want him to move away from his seat.
STATUS — a hopeless stalker with 'the' junior
 
RELATIONSHIP STATEMENT — 'when you take one step, two steps farther away. i'll take three steps toward you. so that we won't get any farther away.' — one step, two steps ; oh my girl
FINAL WORDS
first, i'm very sorry for sending it last minute. i supposed to finish it a few days ago. but i had fallen ill, just starting to feel well since 2 days ago. orz. i'm editing through my phone so I'm not sure how it'll look to you. i tried to stay within hoseok's plotline. i hope it didn't stray much from what you imagined. ;; that's all.
