birth name hong, jiyul ( 홍지율 ).
other names
hongjiru : literally 'boring', it's derived from her name and it's a pretty suitable nickname for her. it's used by pretty much everyone kiyeon roped in - even vimaru, to jiyul's chagrin.
"you're not coming again?? hong jiyul! you're so...so ... hongjiru!" "thanks, I'll take that as a compliment."
ruji : used by her love interest, it's derived from hongjiru and jiyul has no idea how this nickname is even relevant to her, but she finds it cute, so responds to it while faking reluctance.
"ruji-ah!" "what the do you want this time round?"
honghong!! : used by kiyeon, and kiyeon only. kiyeon was pretty proud of her hongjiru nickname for jiyul, but everyone started using it and she was peeved, so now she calls jiyul honghong (with overenthusaism, so the exclamation marks are a vital part to the nickname)- to jiyul's absolute horror. to make things worse, kiyeon is extremely protective of the nickname and pretty much screeches and pounces on whoever uses the nickname, rendering jiyul terrifyingly embarrassed. jiyul's even saved as honghong!! in kiyeon's phone.
"honghong!! honghong!!" "for the love god please stop with this name-"

languages
jiyul has no intonation whatsoever and speaks in a constant monotone with low volume. she drags her words and constantly fails to enunciate properly. she slurs her words together and in general no one likes listening to her speak, not that jiyul minds. however, if you're close enough to break through the sloth barrier, she speaks with spunk, sass, clear words and a volume so loud vimaru always complains his ears hurt.
— korean : as a hoyang native, it's only natural jiyul is fluent in korean and is up to date with the latest slang. her jeolla accent is also extremely thick and paired with a fast talking speed, seoulites that travel to hoyang and ask jiyul for directions always wound up terribly confused.
— english : don't even ask.
face claim 박수영 : red velvet
backup face claim 김유정 : actress / 김경미 : a.kor
fashion sense
—jiyul is always, always, always in plain outfits that further accentuate her fatigue. she rarely wears patterns and is always in solid, dark colours. her outfits mostly consist of black, navy and gray and due to her not being afraid of the heat nor the cold, she's always in similar long sleeved shirts and leggings that have people wondering — does jityl wear the same things every day, or does she have numerous same outfits? they're actually never really the same- if you look hard enough, the shirt she's wearing is probably a shade darker or lighter than yesterday, or maybe yesterday the shirt had a round collar, and today it's v shaped.
—as atumn rolls around, there's really not much difference with how jiyul usually looks. she's still in a dark long-sleeved shirt paired with jeans and converse. however, depending on the temperature, if she's feeling chilly, she'd throw on a cardigan or a scarf, and if it's really freezing, she'll put on a coat. but you need to know that jiyul's the type to wander around in her usual outfit even when it's fifteen degrees celsius outside, and can stand for hours in that temperature in that outfit without feeling cold.

"hong jiyul?? who????" — lee jinsol, freshman.
"my brother told me there was someone almost legendary at school called hong jiyul, but I entered school this year and pretty much never heard anything about her." — lee suhyun, freshman,
"oh, I remember her! she was one of the juniors who helped me when I first entered school, and she was super friendly and outgoing! lots of people in my grade really liked her- she's still here? I thought she switched schools or something since I haven't heard her name for so long. she used to be everywhere, you see..." — kwon eunbin, sophomore.
"I used to have the biggest crush on her when I was a freshman, heh. she was just so helpful and funny and pretty, and didn't treat us like younger students who annoyingly stuck to her like glue and I remember a whole bunch of boys in my grade really liked her, but I haven't seen her around in a while. I thought she left or something?" — lee jeno, sophomore.
"I still remember when I gaped as she went on stage to promote the chemistry, literature and photography club as well as the debate team... and also went on stage to get awards for her grades. haven't heard her name in a while though." — park minhyuk, junior.
"jiyul unnie was super helpful when I joined the chemistry club last year! she was always bumbling around managing everything and answering everyone's questions without breaking a sweat- with a tinge of sarcasm, but that made her more lovable. she quit abruptly though, and I heard she actually quit everything and her grades all dropped and such. I don't know what happened to her." — choi yewon, junior.
"dude, jiyul was the . she was everywhere, handling everything, and everyone loved her. I mean, yeah there were people jealous and but personally I found her endearing and I was on good terms with her- btu then, hong jiyul was on good terms wtih everyone. but one day she just completely crashed. no idea why." — boo seungkwan, senior.
"it's hilarious how everyone says how much they loved her but no one truly cared enough to ask what happened to her. why outgoing and valiant jiyul went *poof* overnight and turned into this introverted, mopey and dull plain jane. it's disgusting how everyone still pretends to be care but I'm the only one who knows what's going on and I'm the only one left when all of jiyul's 'friends' drifted away as soon as jiyul changed. but y'know what, dull or not, jiyul's still my best friend and the rest of the world can off. and the funniest thing is how everyone thinks she's a person of few words now but holy if you're me you'll see how her sassiness is overwhelming. she's just good at hiding things. " — son juyeon, senior.
"I'm very, very concerned about jiyul. I know she can be capable of much more than the state she is now, and it pains me how her family situation has changed her from a star student into a student who sleeps in class and barely passes all her subjects. we're all letting her go by because we know how difficult it is for her, but all of us are worried about her future, because we know she deserves much more." — joo aeyeon, teacher.
"sometimes I can't help but look at my wife's picture at the columbarium. I hate how she rendered jiyul into someone as empty as this. jiyul thinks I don't notice, but I can see how she pulls down her sleeves and hides her wrists. I can see it, and it hurts me so much how she's taking everything herself. how she refuses to associate with anyone because she's afraid of them leaving her again. she's even ignoring juyeon and me and it's painful." — hong jungseok, jiyul's father.
lifestyle
— every day, jiyul wakes up drearily, brushes her teeth, seldom brushes her hair, changes into her unfiorm, half-heartedly munches on a sandwich, and heads to school in her dad's car, arriving just seconds before the bell. she sleeps through most her lessons, sometimes groggily waking up and copying something from the girl sitting next to her before drifting off to dreamland again. most of the teachers are worried, but don't really do anything about it. after school, she just heads straight back home to continue moping around and sleeping.
relationships
go jihyuk do you hear the crickets chirping? or the crows crooning in the distance? that's what happens when jihyuk and jiyul are left alone together. jiyul used to be able to carry a conversation and have pleasant small talk, but now the two just sit in utter silence with jihyuk trying to start a conversation and jiyul muttering out one-worded responses. sometimes jihyuk lets the hurt show on his face and jiyul would feel bad about how distant she's being but try as she might the easy banter just doesn't flow between them anymore.
further along the story, they'll start to grow closer again, with the old jiyul shining through at times and helping jihyuk stand up for himself, even teasing him sometimes. in return, jihyuk starts caring for jiyul more than he ever thought he would and would end up being slightly aggressive whenever jiyul's ex starts . one word to sum up their relationship would be camaraderie. they don't have to chat a lot and silence would never be awkward between them, but when the friendly banter gets going, it gets going.

go kiyeon jiyul won't deny kiyeon is absolutely endearing, but sometimes kiyeon's neverending energy and constant hyperactiveness drains jiyul. she loves kiyeon, she really does, but sometimes the girl's whines and hugs frustrate jiyul and she blows up, saying words harsher than intended. it tugs at jiyul's heart when she sees the hurt flash across kiyeons' face before it morphs into another cheery smile and she'd grudgingly let kiyeon cling onto her or jump onto her. their relationship is sort of dysfunctional now, iwth jiyu; trying to keep her temper and kiyeon bumbling around, trying to not annoy jiyul but her real, naive personality showing itself and annoying jiyul anyways.
if kiyeon doesn't mature during the story, it's a given that the two will remain distant over the course of the whole story. it's not like jiyul doesn't like kiyeon, but she doesn't have the heart or energy to keep up with her anymore. hopefully kiyeon grows and understands jiyul more, giving her the space she needs while showing her subtle affection.

min woo first things first, jiyul finds woo extremely visually attractive and understands why he has hordes of fangirls- even she finds herself looking at his face for longer than necessary. woo's reserved and responsible personality is another big thumbs up and the two have easy conversation due to their similar characters. the two became good friends quickly after kiyeon roped them all in, and to bitna's disappointment, jiyul would name woo as the person she's closest to and most comfortable with in the squad. woo is the only one who's noticed the marks on her wrist, and yet he only quirked his brow, touched her wrist briefly before going on his way, leaving jiyul incredibly thankful for his sensitivity. sure, his reaction shouldn't have been his reaction, but it was the reaction jiyul wanted.
woo's quiet "are you okay?"s and subtle checks of her wrist when they're alone is something jiyul is incredibly thankful for, and woo is delighted that jiyul knows of his worries and is truly the one able to alleviate his worries by saying just the right things. jiyul is also pretty much the only person to never have been offended by his sharp words and would in fact return the snark with a small grin that makes woo proud he made her smile.
ps: this is a basic rundown of their friendship. their story is elaborated in the love interest section.

song bitna bitna and jiyul have been friends before the whole ordeal of jiyul's mother, and bitna takes great care to not act any different because she knows just how much jiyul would hate to get pity. unlike kiyeon, bitna knows how to act and is never overbearing, never forcing her to smile or laugh but just chattering away, bitna and jiyul have a comfortable relationship. however, bitna is a little bit bothered at how jiyul shuts her out completely and would sometimes say things to irk her on purpose because she wants to see the former jiyul. however, said days seldom happen and they spend most of their time together sipping on milk and chatting about random, light topics.
to jiyul's delight, bitna is the one who gets angriest when she sees taeyang and is the first to leap up to talk back to taeyang. bitna is a very important presence in jiyul's life and the latter really hopes that she can see that and refrain from getting a reaction out of her just to feel how important jiyul views her.

ahn hyogyu hyogyu is, sadly, the person jiyul is most distant with. as if his height wasn't intimidating enough when they first met, hyogyu is just as reserved as jiyul, and yet isn't as clumsy as jihyuk for jiyul to put him on her radar. it's not lke jiyul doesn't like hyogyu, she's perfectly fine with him around, but the boy is just so nice and quiet and seems like a perfect boy-next-door and truth to be told jiyul doesn't really know how to interact with him. they've never really held a proper conversation but at least they aren't exactly awkward- they just don't have anything to talk about and they don't feel the need to desperately continue the conversation and their sielnces are comfortable. at least, that's what jiyul thinks.
truth to be told, hyogyu isslightly, okay, really, intimidated by jiyul's stoic demeanor even though he has to look down at the girl. he sweats bullets when he's around jiyul and jiyul doesn't even notice and thinks they have a decent relationship. hoepfully hyogyu will see through jiyul's constant face and warm up to jiyul? because I can totally see hyogyu standing up for jiyul against the people who talk against her.
truth to be told, hyogyu is
gal meahri kiyeon has bitna as her mom, and meahri has jiyul. yes, jiyul doesn't seem to have any maternal instincts at all but meahri's adorable yet not overbearing personality gained her a soft spot in jiyul's heart the first time they spoke. jiyul cares for meahri a lot and sees through the fact that she's putting away all her feelings for the benefit of others- and jiyul is bent on making meahri understand that it's okay to put yourself first sometimes. meahri asks jiyul for help with schoolwork and jiyul even starts to be more attentive in lessons just so she can help meahri even more in the future. in short, their relationship is beneficial for each other and they're growing close so quick bitna is jealous :^(
yong chaejoon guess who gets a huge hoot out of calling chaejoon all the cutest nicknames she can think of? jiyul. chaejoon's sarcasm and pranks bring out some of the former jiyul as the two banter back and forth. chaejoon is actually pretty awed at how jiyul can be so sassy as opposed to how she normally is and is sometimes rendered speechless when jiyul starts firing back, eliciting cheers from the squad as they high five jiyul for successfully shutting him up. however, they aren't exactly close and jiyul would name him as someone she socialises with, but not as a friend.
of course, further along the story, they'll grow closer through their mean converations and well-natured jabs at each other. in fact, jiyul can see her and chaejoon becoming very good friends in the future, but that'll have to require jiyul opening up and letting people be there for her instead of just shutting them up.

vimaru, our dearly departed toilet bowl aka vi or when she's feeling sassy, vivi
— maru has no idea what he really feels about jiyul. sometimes, he loves her presence because she seems like she's the only one capable of giving him some much-needed peace and quiet. sometimes jiyul acts up and is so terrifyingly spunky maru wonders why he ever liked having her around. when jiyul's actingup, htey bicker quite a whole lot before maru gives up on arguing with her.
"mr. death told me to get some answers from you ters so answer truthfully...also i can tell if you're lying so don't try to on me" no he can't he's just tryna scare u
"can you now. alright."
"why did you go into the house? also who did you go with if you went with anyone?"
"dad told me to volunteer and do some work at the carnival...so..."
"are you afraid of ghosts? because if so then ur gonna have to get used to me"
"do you think I'm scared of them? I'm literally talking to one right now."
"are you a resident of this town or are you just visiting for this crappy carnival lol"
"resident."
"what was your initial reaction to being chosen for this job? i mean i saw it, but i want to document this for the kids at home" maru snickers under his breath.
"no reaction really, I'd rather ghosts be real."
maru's eyes became a glowing green and his entire translucent body fell limp, still floating in the air. a low, raspy voice escaped his throat— one that was obviously not his own. "just a quick question would any of u be interested in becoming the grim reaper? there's slim pickings for the reaper position and idk i think the job is quite okay—"
"no."
"okay thanks sorry for the excess of questions please sign ur name here and i'll take that as a yes to saving the planet from a sad emo ghost .... if u dont im just gonna knock u out and take some of ur blood"
"if you can."
