NICKNAMES
ROBOT Coined early on by a now insignificant third grade peer, the moniker was originally a nod toward her unrelenting work ethic. As Miyoung grew, the name in tow, it soon evolved to refer to her typically emotionless demeanor and beauty. Even during its initial creation, Miyoung was never comfortable with it. In current times, she loathes it more than ever. Subsequent to the tumultuous events of the previous winter, the title is used sardonically by the majority of the student body to the point where they finally see her stoic expression crumble.
mimi A derivative of her name not used by many as most aren't on intimate terms with her. Exclusively used by a select few, notably Yoonoh and Jaemin. She isn't against the use of the term by others and adores its use (usually accompanied by an affectionate tone) but it's the fact that she's so hard to approach that hinders its use by a larger crowd.
DATE OF BIRTH + AGE December Seventeenth, 17.
PLACE OF BIRTH Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
ETHNICITY Korean.
LANGUAGES
FLUENT korean Her native tongue. Speaks in the standard Seoul dialect. She possesses an expansive vocabulary, and speaks slowly albeit eloquently, thus boosting her proper image.
ADVANCED english Born simply for the purpose of success, Miyoung has been learning English since she could formulate a semi-proper sentence in Korean. As a result, her English skills are nearly on par with a native's. Due to her reticence, her speaking skills are not as well developed as others in her cohort with an accent clouding her words. She makes up for this by performing well and excelling above all those in her class in reading and writing.
FACECLAIM Jeon Heejin, LOONA.
BACK-UP FACECLAIM Park Siyeon, PRISTIN. Jung Yein, LOVELYZ.
appearance Delicate features placed on her small face enhance her already sought-out, doll-like beauty. Her waifish figure, a result of her fast metabolism, only propels this perception as she stands at the average height of 162 centimeters but only weighs 44 kilograms. Some say the large mole by her left eye destroys the notion, but others say that such imperfections only make her more beautiful. As such, it becomes a habit for Miyoung to cover the mole with makeup at formal events. Despite being born with naturally straight hair, Miyoung's hair now immediately becomes wavy when let down due to the immense amount of time it spends in braids or in a bun at school.
fashion style Much like her persona, the way in which Miyoung dresses is uptight. She wears her uniform properly at school: shirt tucked, blazer fitted, face void of makeup, hair left braided or in a neat bun, skirt left unrolled to her brush her kneecaps, shoes polished whether of outdoor or indoor variation, and sleeves never rolled up no matter how hot it may get. She wears a diamond embedded watch on her wrist. If anything, she'll remove her blazer during the summer days where the sun beats down, but nothing more. It's only during the winter that Miyoung draws away from her image. While she still wears designer coats she'd never seen before being handed it that morning her slightly tattered brown scarf, courtesy of Yoonoh, remains wrapped around her neck up to her rosy cheeks.
Outside of school, Miyoung doesn't dress much differently. Still prim and proper, she tends toward knee-length skirts, dresses, or trousers and a blouse with small heels. She'll let her hair down when outside and accessorize with the odd pair of earrings and lightweight necklace. But then again, that's what she portrays when outside. Those who've seen her at home, relaxed, know that she has a drawer full of sweats, graphic tees decorated with nerdy puns, and an array of oddly embellished socks. They know she wears oversized Harry Potter glasses because she's practically blind from putting so much of her time into learning. They've seen her hair falling out of a poorly done bun with five pencils sticking out from said abyss of hair, free of the weight of the world.

"You see that girl over there?" A student points their finger in the direction of a fragile girl on the other side of the hallway, her eyes facing forward with a blank expression on her face. Despite that, she remains striking, attention-inducing. "That there's Jung Miyoung. She's the heiress to the Jung Group, you know the one that huge technology conglomerate that basically owns every store. You've probably bought something from them and helped her family become richer.
"She's basically the most perfect person in this entire goddamn school and you shouldn't cross her unless you want to end up like... well, you know. You've probably seen the recent news about the Jung Group's lawsuit. Yeah, she's the daughter of that family. Anyways, she's so pretty and you'd think that was the end of it but she's also a part of the Diamond Class, which is basically a bunch of snobby elites who go to class together because they're extra extra special.
"But she's like, the cream of the crop, you know? She's always within the top 3 in that class and I'm pretty sure she does the most business-y stuff outside of it too. 'Cause, she's the heiress and all. Her family just won the lawsuit so she's going out to all these events and networking their success with that pretty face of hers. She has an older brother too and he was pretty smart so I'm not sure why this girl here is the heiress on top of going to school and all, but whatever."
The student beside them listens intently, furrowing their eyebrows, "But, what's she like?" they prod the student extolling the girl. Subsequently, the student in question falls silent, turning to their friends for a snippet of information. Yet they all shrug, unable to recall a sliver of personal information about her.
— — —
To the majority of the people who know her, Jung Miyoung is an enigma. She's graceful and accomplished, poised and alluring. They know of her family life, her plethora of accomplishments, and... that's it. Implicit assumptions state that her character matches her demeanor: politely perfect. They don't approach her in fear that their ego may take a toll from interacting with her outstanding intellect. So while her peers may speak her name with fondness and envy, they know nothing of her character behind closed doors.
In the classroom and in her home, it's assumed that those who've seen her know her true nature. They claim to know and reinforce the queries of curious bystanders. To them, Jung Miyoung is the persona she presents: bright, kindly, deferential. Words few, emotions fewer, smiles wide. A businesswoman like her mother was. But the most poignant difference between her and her mother is that her incredible work ethic shines through her laconic behaviour. She slaves away, a young woman under the tutelage of a multitude of etiquette principles, her own schoolwork, and the pressure of the company. Even with the weight of the world resting on her shoulders, she manages to make her workload appear to be nothing more than a feather. Wit shines through in conversation with investors during the annual Jung Group gala. Her insight is apparent, apparently withheld. Her manner raises questions: she leads with insight, strategy, and tremendous ambition but restrains herself, letting others advise her even if she completely disagrees with their words for the sake of her father. He tells her to listen; she's young and has a lot to learn. (She's also a woman, but that detail is always left unspoken between them.) So she listens, either appeased or livid, turning to look for her father in the meantime to showcase her constant filial disposition. Time and time again, she is commended for her resilience.
formal dresses / tight lipped smiles / delicate pearl earrings / porcelain skin, porcelain plates / reserved thoughts / utensils lined in order of intended use / half-eaten platters and empty stomachs feigned full / handshakes, not too firm /
Her true charisma is lost to many and found by a handful she has sought out. They know of the way the weight of responsibility crushes and grinds her every bone, slowly tearing her apart as she hounds herself to do better, act better, be perfect. They've seen her in her darkest moments as she relives the tragedy of her past. But they've also seen the two external hard drives she keeps on her desk from too much experimentation with code. They've witnessed the way her eyebrows come together as she evaluates pages and pages of a physics paper her brother sent her to read over. With them, she lets her hair down and dons her ugliest, most comfortable articles of clothing. She laughs loudly and babbles on the philosophical understanding of time, of the newest innovations breaking the market. Excitedly, dramatically. It's an idiosyncratic phenomenon of sorts, the way in which she reverses her entire personality around them. Her eyes sparkle as she speaks of things she cares about, far away from the indifferent gaze that hides beneath layers of skirts and makeup. Here she's resolute with everything she says whether it be of fact or morals. She has everything laid out and pre-determined within her, unable to be truly swayed by the words of men. They say she reminds them of a child in those instances as she cries under her sheets when the world drives her into her weariest state. When she shrieks in glee at the smallest, most ordinary object because it's so, so fascinating but she's never had the privilege to witness the smallest miracles life has had to offer. In instances like these, their eyes soften and they hope the world will be kinder to her.
pushing too-large eyeglasses up / the smell of old books / full days spent under the covers / sweater paws / messy hair / fresh-baked blueberry muffins / tear-steained sleeves / childhood nostalgia / jumping barefoot into sidewalk puddles
tl;dr extremely competent and has her together but is also an emotional trainwreck who holds everything in. sheltered in the sense that she knows how the world works but doesn't know how to enjoy it.
background Born as the second child and only daughter of Jung Joonsu and Han Iseul, Miyoung was pre-determined to be the face of the Jung Group, one of the largest international technological conglomerates, from an early age. She was beautiful, for one. Secondly, she was a girl. With the contemporary rise of women in scientific fields, it would be more marketable for her to represent the company than her older brother. She wouldn't be allowed to take strides toward the scientific field herself, of course. Her brother has displayed more than enough intellect for the both of them; she'd just need be the pretty face, continue living her spoiled life, and learn a tidbit of English. Her focus would be on beauty. But she doesn't know any of this as a child.
What Miyoung is aware of as she grows up is the crumbling marriage before her. She witnesses her parents in love before her brain can properly store memories. Years and years pass and she witnesses them fall apart: her father leaving the house in the early hours and not returning until late if at all. Her mother's tears and the distant look in her eyes become a norm no matter how much she and Yoonoh try to coax a smile from her. She just sits all day waiting for her husband, a prisoner to the luxurious life she married into without an education, hobbies, or friends to pass the time. She sits and she stares until even her young children are convinced she's become a statue and shell of her former self, if that even existed.
It is under the nose of their mother, who had formerly been against the idea of Miyoung being well educated, that Yoonoh begins to teach his younger sister about the wonders of the world. He has wide eyes and wider gestures as he explains basic arithmetic and the English alphabet in their early years and the inner workings of calculus and physics much later. Miyoung, in all her inquisitive youth, listens and questions, intrigued by every nuance Yoonoh explains. It isn't long before she takes matters into her own hands, quietly opening incognito tabs in the dead of night as she reads and attempts to comprehend the Theory of Relativity. Soon after, she begins researching the Jung Group itself, now knowledgeable of her intended future sans the fact that she wouldn't be expected to know anything, and expands her knowledge to every scientific corner of the industry albeit the knowledge being surface level. She delves into computer science and coding and finally, finally finds her home there amidst the emptiness following Yoonoh's boarding school departure. With more than enough online resources, she quickly learns Javascript, Python, C++, and the like. If anyone were to know, she'd be branded a genius beyond the intellect of her brother. But they aren't to know and she remains in her room, happily expanding her knowledge as she aces every exam in school. Both activities remain unnoticed, more notably the latter, for the longest time.
She's eight years old when she finally recalls the existence of her father again. He storms home in a rage, cursing a specific company out under his breath, claiming they'd claimed that the Jung Group had stolen a revolutionary medical formula from them subsequent to their announcement of it by the up and coming Jung Pharmaceuticals the week prior. While trying to comprehend the rage that left her father in a tumble of words, what Miyoung found herself more focused on the image of her mother at that time. The woman was standing and smiling regardless of the very irate manner of her spouse, cheerfully welcoming home and asking what he'd like for dinner. Miyoung remembers it very surely, that moment. Yoonoh is out with his friends at that time. Her mother is clinging to her husband's arm as he tells Miyoung not to talk to some kid in her school whose name she couldn't catch between the chattering of her mother and the swear words rolling from her father's lips. She remembers the first moment she saw her father hit her mother with clarity. She recalls the tears that spring in the corners of her mother's eyes and the indifferent look in her father's. Lastly, she can hear the name of the demonized child ring in her ears: Na Jaemin. Too late.
Turbulent times follow the event. Her father spends more time away from home, if that were even possible. He spends his time with his lawyers and in court. Her mother retreats from her chair into her room, lifeless and loveless. Yoonoh remains by her side for a few years more before he's shipped off to an overseas boarding school by their father with the intent of entering an Ivy League. So Miyoung is alone in her too-large home, neglected until the day her mother is actually found lifeless. "They say she died from loneliness," she hears the attendants of her mother's funeral comment, "you know how it is with the lawsuit happening." Thereafter, her father comes home. He focuses more attention on his daughter, fearful that she'd die from loneliness too and shed a negative light on him. One death invoked pity, two gave off the impression that he isn't a family man. He forces her out of her room, still unaware of her academic accomplishments, to learn how to act as a proper lady. She spends her free time with etiquette tutors and while she complies, petrified that refusal will result in violence, she hates her time there.
The first time her father notices her achievements is when he's notified of her invitation to the Diamond Class. He briefly congratulates her and hires more tutors, those of fashion and dance, telling her that it's fine to spend more time focusing on what mattered. She doesn't have to remain in the Diamond Class.
Her father returns the winter break between her first and second year with a grin gracing his countenance. He hugs his daughter tightly, laughing throughout when he announces that he's finally won. The Jung Group has won the lawsuit after nearly ten years.
lifestyle In constrast to popular thought, Miyoung isn't much of a morning person. Regardless, when her alarm blares and echoes between the walls of her large room at six in the morning, she's forced to rise from bed in an attempt to regain consciousness and composure. Once her eyes can finally blink without the intense need to fall over and nap on the floor, Miyoung spends her mornings reading the news, finishing up homework from the previous night, and replying to e-mails. If time allows, she'll take a quick shower to clean herself up before heading downstairs for breakfast with her father. Once she finishes breakfast, her driver takes her to school so that she arrives by 7:30AM. It's earlier than most but she uses the time efficiently, reviewing notes before everyone files in and the silence of the morning dissipates.
School itself is nothing special to her. Her time is spent primarily with her nose in her books, whether it be during class or lunch. She'll continue reading the news during the later on her phone if time permits. It's not like she doesn't have friends in the Diamond Class, but it's that everything else occupies her to the point where they've given up on trying to converse with her during free time unless she approaches her peers herself. Once school is dismissed, Miyoung either stays after to study or heads home immediately. There, she's greeted with tutors who instruct her on how to carry herself in public and scold her for minor mistakes. Dinner follows, occasionally with her father but usually without. She then heads to her room to study both her schoolwork and the names and faces of the attendees of the last event. Around eleven, she calls Yoonoh if his schedule's free that day to update him on everything and for him to update her on his college life abroad. Whether or not she's calling him, she spends this time coding. Once Yoonoh leaves for his class, Miyoung stares fondly at her phone screen and the Favorites Page. Yoonoh's listed first. She winces when she sees the second name, still unable to bring herself to remove it from the list.
Weekends are a repetition of her weekly routine without school. She finds time to exercise on weekends and goes on jogs early in the morning before the humidity overtakes. After taking a shower, she'll fall back to sleep and wake to read, study, and code in secret. Her tutors come over to fill up the time. She calls Yoonoh at night and smiles sadly before falling asleep. Lather, rinse, repeat.
trivia
ONE The Jung Group is a relatively new technological conglomerate founded in the 1940s originally as a manufacturer of aerial vehicles. It is currently run by Jung Joonsu. Its subsidiaries include Jung Display Solutions, which constructs and markets computer monitors and large-screen public-information displays; Jung Telecom, which offers mobile phone services, wired and wireless combined services; Jung Aviation, an aerospace and defense development and manufacturing firm; and Jung Pharmaceuticals, the newest branch of the company that specializes in the creation and testing of medicinal drugs. The conglomerate also houses Jung Central Labs, a research facility that performs the majority of research for the other subsidiaries with the exception of Jung Pharmaceuticals.
TWO As a result of years of lessons and practice, Miyoung is proficient in both the piano and violin. Having been taking piano lessons since she was five and violin lessons since she was seven, she has various awards lining the walls of her home. She no longer takes violin lessons but has weekly lessons for piano and performs biannually: once at the annual recital her teacher requests her to participate in and once at the annual Jung gala. As a result, Miyoung has a plethora of expensive evening gowns in her closet, all of which she's only worn once.
THREE While initially placed in the third position upon entering the Diamond Class, her rank tends to fluctuate between the top three positions. She's content just being at such a high position among her peers. Although she gains first position a few times at the beginning of her second year, she's been unable to regain it, now always between the second and third rank in the class. But considering the person who is in the first position, she doesn't want it.
FOUR Despite excelling in STEM fields, Miyoung loses her steadfast grip of understanding in humanities. While she performs well in English due to the amount of time she's spent learning the language outside of school, she struggles with Korean and Social Studies. The former makes sense to her in speech but not so much when attempting to analyze the meaning of age-old texts while the latter isn't something she felt she didn't needs to try in considering it was mostly memorization, but she was wrong and she absolutely despises the subject for trying to make her compare and contrast the political climates of the Joseon dynasty to contemporary times when it's evident that the passage of time is what affected it most.
FIVE Because of how busy she is, Miyoung doesn't maintain any social media accounts. She does have a Kakao and Instagram account but she only lets a select few follow her on the latter (she doesn't know why though, she doesn't post anything) while following primarily political leaders and digital conglomerate's accounts. Her followers count is 11 and her following count is 57.
six Despite coding and general computer science being her passion, most don't know that she can even type a single line fo HTML code. She's been keeping it a secret since she found out her intended future as the face, and just the face, of the Jung Group. Only a few people know of the zeal she holds for it, those being Yoonoh, Jaemin, Chaewon, and her closest friends in the diamond class. Her skillset, while outstanding for a self-taught person her age, has its shortcomings due to lack of guidance. While Yoonoh reads over her code from time to time, he's not that great at it either and fails to catch her mistakes at times. She wishes that she'll be able to study Computer Science in college, if she's permitted to attend, but she knows she'd have to talk to her father about it first and the thought of doing that terrifies her.
seven Although she no longer has time for it, she still loves the anime she used to watch with Yoonoh whenever he'd "take a break" from studying. While she primarily tuned into shounen anime back then with shows like Naruto and Dragonball Z, she now only watches films whenever she has time. From time to time, she watches the Miyazaki box set she keeps on her desk. Currently, her favorite film is Your Name.
eight A longtime fan of the DC universe, once again courtesy of Yoonoh. Has watched most of the old DC films and tries her best to keep up with the shows that are currently being shown on the CW but has fallen behind a season as of current times.
nine Has a cute, unbelievable sense of humor. While she understands dry humor, she prefers bad puns and flirtatious jokes that make her insides curl. But above all, if someone were to make an inane joke that didn't make sense but had funny words, she'd start laughing. (Basically, if she were to play Cards Against Humanity and she were judging, if the card "A micropig wearing a tiny raincoat and booties" was played, it'd automatically win because she thinks the image is cute.) This humor, of course, if held back in public.
ten Listens to a lot of classical music for her classes, but after being introduced to pop music by a few classmates, she's gotten into it. Her favorite artist is Taeyeon but she likes a variety of music.
Miyoung's Top Ten Songs:
1. 겨울나무 (I'm All Ears), Taeyeon.
2. 한숨 (Breathe), Lee Hi.
3. 무중력 (Zero Gravity), Zion.T.
4. 꽃 (Flower), XIA ft. Tablo of Epik High.
5. Fire, Taeyeon.
6. 둘 하나 둘 (Two One Two), Urban Zakapa.
7. Closer, Oh My Girl.
8. 밤편지 (Through the Night), IU.
9. 잊어버리지마 (Don't Forget), Crush ft. Taeyeon.
10. PARACHUTE, CODE KUNST ft. OhHyuk & Dok2.
eleven Most of the news she reads pertains to the technological industry, particularly companies such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook. Aside from science news, Miyoung makes sure to keep up on large global and national news to see how events would impact the company.
twelve Keeps her room immaculately clean; she can't stand a speck of dust. Is sure to make her bed before going downstairs for breakfast with her father. Her room is spacious and connected to an en suite and walk-in closet. Her desk sets the base for a 27" monitor, keyboard, and a small collection of books from the larger shelf adjacent to her bed.
thirteen As she lives in a penthouse in Gangnam, Miyoung has made a habit of going up to the rooftop garden of her building for some respite when she's feeling bombarded with work. She doesn't spend much time up there, usually only 10 minutes at a time unless she's trying to plant something, but feeling the wind rush around her at night with the lights of Gangnam surrounding her feels very cathartic. She does wish for the lights to all go out from time to time so that she could stargaze, but Seoul is a city. One of the greatest indicators that Miyoung's completely overwhelmed is when she spends more than 20 minutes in the rooftop garden.
fourteen For the most part, she's invisible in the Diamond Class. It's not that the students hate her or that she hates them, it's just that she has a tendency to fade into the background. While she hung out with them a lot more in their first year partly due to Jaemin's nagging and partly because she had more time, she no longer does so and only opts to talk to her peers one-on-one, away from prying eyes.
fifteen Has a hard time expressing her emotions. Whether they be of affection, gratitude, or remorse, Miyoung finds difficulty in vocalizing her thoughts outside of excitement. Her go-to mode of thought factors in pure logic and reasoning, casting aside any emotional factors. Due to this, she is declared by most to be a better businesswoman whilst finding difficulty in asking for help when she needs it most, furthering the load she has to carry.
sixteen Pampered all her life, Miyoung's always been privy to the greatest foods in the world. It's a wonder, then, that she prefers McDonald's fries and $2 tteokbokki from street stalls over the food that's prepared by her cook. But then again, all the times she'd gone to fast food restaurants with sanitary levels so low she shivered she'd been with him and all the meals she'd had at home were either eaten alone or with her father.
seventeen Due to one of the tutors her father hired, Miyoung excels in Home Economics. She can cook more properly than others in her cohort and cleans vigorously regardless of whether its her bedroom or the kitchen.
eighteen Holds primarily liberal views in political and social conventions. A strong believer of democratic policies such as gun control and net neutrality. (Obviously, she was very much against Park Geunhye.) She's a feminist to the very bone and while she doesn't voice out her opinions at every opportunity so as not to present her family's company as one that sways to or for a specific political party, her opinions are unyielding.
nineteen to be added!
jung joonsu

In her heart, Miyoung knows that her father isn't a good person. He was a neglectful father and abusive husband until the day his wife passed. Even then, Miyoung didn't see her father shed a single tear at her mother's funeral. Thereafter, he only attended to his children for the sake of his public image, not because he genuinely cared for them. But perhaps it's the fact that he's the only present member of her family that forces her steadfast morals to waver in his favor. In another world, she'd refuse tutors after tutors, act irreverently toward him, and do as she pleased just to make him irate. Or, maybe, it's the fear that she'd end up like her mother if she didn't: useless on her own and abused until the end. One way or another, Miyoung seeks validation from a man she'd otherwise despise with all her being.
She hides away her passion for coding and science, opting instead to practice her posture and piano playing for him. Aware he's training her to be her mother, a dependent woman, she closes her true nature off from him in hopes that he'll look her way for the surface accomplishments she's made one day. And then, maybe, just maybe, she'd find the courage to show him everything she loves and has been working toward for the past seventeen years of her life.
But when he gets home from a long day of work, it's rare enough that he even looks at her, much less eats dinner with her. So why on earth would she think he would turn to look at the new trophy she brought home from her physics competition, or care about her high ranking in her class? Her reasoning becomes clouded when it comes to her father. She just wants him to look at her with the same amount of pride he talks about Yoonoh with. Validation? Is that what she wants? Something of the sort. It's closer to love, really.
jung yoonoh
jung yoonoh
If Miyoung were to describe Yoonoh in three words, they would be: Best Brother Ever. He's been there for her through thick and thin, through their youth and even now, halfway across the world. He taught her how to love learning when she wasn't supposed to learn how to learn anything besides being a proper lady. For that, and for so many other things, she can't thank him enough.
The dichotomy of their personalities is intense, with him being sensitive and outgoing and her being rational and withdrawn. But this disparity and their four year doesn't place any sort of stopper on their understanding of one another. She's there for him when he's being swayed by emotion to reason him back down to earth; he's there to help her understand her own emotions when she's beyond confused by the situations she's presented.
But perhaps what strengthens their bond so is the distance between them. They haven't seen each other in person in nearly seven years at this point in time, not since Yoonoh was admitted and enrolled into an overseas boarding school and gone on to attend Princeton University (cue a jokingly exasperated roll of Miyoung's eyes every time Yoonoh feels the need to state the entire title for the entitlement that accompanies it) (she's proud of him, she just won't admit it). The distance just makes them want to try harder, especially on Yoonoh's part as he's left her alone to deal with their father and the company. There's always guilt and regret looming when the pair ends their daily calls.
park chaewon
park chaewon
Despite having been introduced by their parents when they were younger, Miyoung and Chaewon were acquaintances at best for the majority of their time together. With Miyoung's cautious reticence and Chaewon being timorous, interactions between the two had been sparse and awkward no matter how hard their parents tried to force them together. It was supposed to be a profitable business venture when their girls would take over their respective companies. The Park Group focused on the development of software technology, primarily video games, and the Jung Group manufactured display screens; it sounded perfect.
Miyoung never thought much of it until she attended the interest meeting for the Physics Team at the beginning of her first year, surprised to find that the only other girl present was Chaewon. But while Chaewon joined immediately, Miyoung wasn't able to do so until a few months later. During that time, Chaewon finally plucked up the courage to go after and attempt to befriend Miyoung in hopes of getting her to join so that it wouldn't be more awkward than normal for her (because she couldn't talk to boys more than she couldn't talk to intimidating brilliant young women). Miyoung didn't mind the shorter girl's persistence, finding it refreshing after years of cowering behind her parents' glory. So Chaewon would spend time with Miyoung whenever the latter was free, inviting her out to explain the ongoings of the Physics Club. As meetings with the two continued, Miyoung was surprised to find that not only was Chaewon brilliant in the physical sciences, she was also the world's most endearingly peculiar girl.
Such events bring them to their present state: best friends within a year. Although others doubt the validity of their friendship considering their evident disparity in most aspects of life, it's not strange in the least to either of them. Outtings occur as frequently as possible outside of Physics Team usually for the purpose of just talking. Miyoung is surprosed to find that she can complain about her professional life with someone other than Yoonoh without holding back. Moreover, Chaewon matches her mathematical and scientific reasoning and it's refreshing not having to wait twenty-three hours if she wanted to talk to someone about how subatomic particles didn't make sense once again. Best of all, Chaewon is physically there to provide emotional support for her through the turmoil that follows the winter after their first year.
yu haera
yu haera
While they've been aware of one another since childhood, the pair has never truly interacted with each other of their own volition. Their only conversations stem from the efforts of Jaemin to make his friends become friends and give Haera at least one female friend. It worked, for a little bit. Haera would approach Miyoung with a large grin and her typical gregarious manner but it was too friendly too fast for Miyoung who soon rejects the advances of the other girl.
Thereafter, the two only encounter one another again in the Diamond Class. Small smiles and hesitant waves are exchanged, the memory of Miyoung's refusal still clear in Haera's mind.
Soon enough, it becomes clear that the two of them would never breach the line between acquaintanceship toward friendship, but that doesn't equate Miyoung being indifferent toward the other girl. In all honesty, she's jealous of the love Haera's surrounded by, both familial and platonic. She's envious of the other girl's bright and carefree disposition but she also despises it. Even though Haera's supposed to be the heiress to her family's extensive hotel chain, it appears as if she carries no sort of responsibility. Miyoung does her best not to let her perceived thoughts cloud her judgement of the girl, but when someone lives a life so differently despite having the same fate, it's infuriating.
lee jeno
lee jeno
Like Haera, Miyoung became acquainted with Jeno through Jaemin. Unlike her relationship with Haera, Jeno and Miyoung became friends. They aren't particularly close, but they've hung out enough times with Jaemin to consider each other friends. Miyoung overlooks his father and the claims that nepotism is the only reason he was allowed to enter the Diamond Class, finding that his terrible sense of humor matched her own and focusing solely on that. Honestly, the amount of times she's laughed at his questionable puns is astounding, moreso because she genuinely finds him funny.
Likewise, Jeno's grateful to her for just seeing him as who he is, his family out of the picture. There's a mutual, unspoken understanding between the pair to be treated just as they are and, furthermore, to respect and treasure their closest friend, Na Jaemin, unconditionally.
So it comes as a shock to them both when Jaemin steps down from his position as their mediator and friend subsequent to the winter after their first year. It's left to Jeno, then, to fill the role that Jaemin had left empty. He continues to talk to Miyoung with the same warmth he had prior to the event. He updates her on Jaemin's thoughts and his whereabouts without her prior questioning. While these meetings between the two remain unknown to Jaemin, Jeno and Miyoung become closer and, despite the difference between the two, he begins to take on the image of Yoonoh by providing the presence and the comfort of an older brother. She hopes she can return the favor someday.

clubs
physics team Her only school-based extracurricular had taken two months of reluctant prodding on both her and Yoonoh's part for her father to accept, but even then she was only allowed to be a member. The club meets once a week during lunch to practice for any upcoming competitions as well as learn and examine elaborate theories that are currently boggling the minds of today's scientists. The team is relatively small but tight-knit and extremely bright. With them, Miyoung has gone to compete in various competitions, all of which they've brought home trophies for.
study habits Miyoung studies diligently whenever she can, but the duration of her study periods are much shorter than others (those who try, that is) in her cohort. Because her notes tend to be messy from scribbling down everything she can see before it gets erased, she spends time copying her notes into notebooks dedicated to their respective topics. Her notes aren't the most pleasing to the eye, but she values efficiency above aesthetics, so who's to complain? Subsequently, she reviews her notes and highlights anything she has trouble understanding or memorizing to go over a few times more. Because she excels in Mathematics, Science, and Technology, she rarely has to review those topics. If there's a day where she's particularly tired, she'll just listen in class during those lectures instead of taking notes and ask for the notes from one of her peers at a later date.
Most of her studying is done in school during breaks or when she stays after school in the library. Otherwise, she studies whenever she's on her regular calls with Yoonoh and aside from immediately after dinner. No matter how hard the topic, Miyoung makes sure to go to sleep by midnight when it isn't exam season as she's found that pulling all-nighters don't help her retain any information. If anything, she'll wake up earlier to review the topics at hand.
During exam season, Miyoung is the type of student who begins studying the week before at the latest. While she doesn't feel the need to review much due to having diligently gone over the topics at hand in the past semester, she spends at least an hour every day reading over her notes and reviewing assigned literature. She makes sure to go to sleep early the night before an exam to remain energetic and prepared.

nicknames
NAna For his rare surname and the cute manner of the moniker that suited his amiable demeanor. Used by most of his close friends and eventually caught on with the rest of the student body.
lover boy Initially came to use for his flirtatious, yet initially entirely unintentional (until he became aware of it, at which point in time he started exploiting this innate "gift"), manner of speech alongside the name FLIRT. However, by the end of their first year, the title came to be used in a teasing manner as the class caught on to the feelings he held for Miyoung. Whenever one of their classmates caught him staring at her or when they'd be studying together, a suggestive wink would always be thrown at him while she wasn't looking. ("Why're you blushing?" / "Wha- I- nothing, nothing. I'm not blushing. You should focus; we have a test tomorrow and you at history.")

dance club A member since his first year, Jaemin joined the club alongside his best friend, Lee Jeno. The intent of the club is to learn and teach various types of dance to their members. The club performs at most school assemblies and hosts a show at the end of the school year.

Born with the capability to see and draw out the best from those around him, Na Jaemin is perceived as a gift to all those around him. He's perfect in every aspect of the word. He's wide smiles and the comfort provided by blankets during a thunderstorm. He holds the spirit of a classroom of children whilst possessing the wisdom and sentimental capability of a grandmother. With a high emotional intelligence, he's able to gently give advice even when it's something the other party doesn't want to hear. All the same, he's armed with the humor and flirtatious side comments that are sure to make one's insides crumble from laughter and second-hand embarrassment. Able to adapt to each and every person he approaches, he's capable of opening up nearly everyone if he truly puts in the effort to get to know someone. His quality of thought only further sets him apart as an anomaly; he may not be the first to catch onto the concepts taught in the classroom but he's renown as one of the hardest workers in his cohort. Above all, he's incredibly honest. He wears his heart on his sleeve without caution, trusting humanity to welcome him with the same enthusiasm and frankness he approaches it with.
It is a shame, then, that he was faced with events that forced him into maturity at such a young age. Without such occurrences, the hint of cynicism that lies deep beneath his personable exterior may not be present. Without them, he may be less wary of the person he treasures most. He might have been able to stay alone for hours upon hours without feeling overwhelming loneliness and the intense need to socialize. His need to feel accepted and liked may not be as potent as he feels it to be. He might not feel a persistent need to fix everything and everyone that happens to fall within his peripheral. But maybe these faults were inherent and mere consequences of his versatile being, amplified only by the suffering of those he holds most dear.

trivia
ONE The sole child of the CEO and CRO of ANTIGEN, a company that researches and manufactures pharmeceutical drugs. Contrary to popular belief, Jaemin isn't the heir to this company and his family wasn't a part of its creation. His parents just met there as coworkers and were exemplary employees. The company is relatively small comparative to others within South Korea but it houses one of the leading research facilities in pharmeceutical innovation.
two Not the smartest in the Diamond Class by a long shot, but is one of the most dedicated students the class has witnessed in years. Always paying attention and diligently taking notes, Jaemin's usually the go-to student if anyone in the Diamond Class was out or asleep during class. Studies mostly in groups where he teaches his peers and vice versa, thus furthering his own understanding of the subjects at hand.
three Prior to their second year, Jaemin hovered around fifth within the student body and was initally placed in fourth upon entrance to the Diamond Class. Following their first year, Jaemin put in much more effort due to his status as a scholarship student and has since risen to first in the class. (This is of course subject to change according to how the story goes, if Miyoung gets picked.)
four Comes from a very loving family. Although his parents have always been incredibly busy from their work, they always made sure to have time to see him at the end of the day.
five Has a soft spot for all things unhealthy and found in street stalls. Even though he knows there's probably some home-cooked meal waiting for him at home and that he could easily make his own meal that's much better than the one before him, he still goes out to his favorite tteokbokki stand after school every day.
six Huge Marvel movie buff. Don't talk to him about Tony Stark, he can literally go on for hours about all the movies and little moments Stark has shined in each one.
seven Because being kind and complimenting others is his default mode, Jaemin has been perceived on a flirt on many occasions even though his intentions are strictly platonic. Since discovering others thought that of him, he's overdoing his sweet talk on his friends but has tried controlling his behaviour when around others.

With the single exception of Yoonoh, Jung Miyoung can definitively say that she hates boys. They're all six-year-olds with no worldly experience and too much energy for their small bodies to hold. They're the type to yell during class with no sense of the repercussions and to draw inane images instead of paying attention to the lesson at hand. They also have cooties. Compared to the childish boys in her grade, Miyoung much prefers the maturity of Yoonoh's friends Yugyeom and Seokmin. They're honest, older, taller, and are superior to the boys in her class in all facets. They definitely wouldn't play tag too ardently, fall, and scrape their knee when only one teacher was outside and unable to bring the boy to the infirmary, thus leaving the responsibility of bringing him to the infirmary to one of the students not playing, Miyoung herself.
Despite having been in the same class with Na Jaemin for both years of her education thus far, the two never interacted. On one hand, Jaemin was boisterously obnoxious and excitable whereas Miyoung preferred the solitude of the reading corner and books printed in font sizes smaller than her palm. Neither had a particularly good impression of each other despite not having exchanged words.
In this particular moment, with Jaemin limping next to Miyoung who was looking at him with arms crossed and evident annoyance on her face, their opinions of one another is not improving. Miyoung proceeds to walk ahead to the infirmary, stopping at the entrance to turn back and glare at the boy. "You're slow," she huffs indignantly.
"Well I scraped my knee when I runned. You don't even run." Jaemin replies, equally disgruntled that their teacher had sent the biggest killjoy with him when she could've sent Jeno or Donghyuck instead of lecturing them about being careful on the playground.
"My brother said that running fast when you knew you couldn't like that just hurts you up."
Jaemin shakes his head, approaching the infirmary entrance slowly, "Tell your brother he's a dumbo. When I ru—"
"Well your FACE is a dumbo!" Miyoung retorts, willing back her desire to kick him as hard as she could in his scraped knee, "Yoonoh is super smarter than you'll ever be!"
At her sudden outburst, silence falls over the nearly empty hallway when Jaemin finally catches up to her. He stares at her for a moment before bursting out laughing. "You're funny! I like you now. Let's be friends." Holding his palm up, he waits for her to high-five him with an exuberant grin on his face. It takes a long second and intense deliberation for Miyoung to raise her own hand and bring his down into a firm handshake.

In the years that come, the friendship between Miyoung and Jaemin stays constant despite the clear opposition to it. If anything, the disapproval it receives only intensfies the bond between them. Whether it be Miyoung's father or the entire student body when they see the two roaming the halls together, there seems to be few accepting of their friendship save for a handful of Jaemin's friends and Yoonoh. Thus, it becomes customary for the two of them to stop interacting with each other as much around others after news of the lawsuit becomes public knowledge and they come to understand the impression their friendship projects on those around them about the relationship between their families. But distance only makes the heart grow fonder. In place of walking to class together, Miyoung and Jaemin begin calling each other every night to catch up on how their days have progressed. They start escaping from their homes to explore Myeongdong's various cafes at night. He introduces her to street food then, laughing at her as her expression transforms from confusion to delight in reaction to eating Taiyaki for the first time.
It's during their trips out, in the times that she's anticipating his calls more than she wants to talk to Yoonoh, when his voice cracks as he's trying to explain a historical event she can't recall properly while studying at the library because "Puberty won't leave me alone and it's not my fault." ("Oh grow up. Haha, get it?"), and in his comforting smiles that warm her up inside relax when she feels overwhelmed that Miyoung begins to feel something different to how she's always felt around him. A part of her thinks it's just a further development of the way she's always felt around him: relaxed. He has a way with her that helps her loosen up. When she's with him, she can feel the world easing away from her shoulders. But upon further inspection, this time it's different. She doesn't know the word for it, but she knows that her stomach flip-flops over itself when she first realizes how much deeper his voice was getting. She knows she slowly gets a little more distracted when she's around him, opting not to study to just talk to him. She's never done that before. While she doesn't know what it's called, she quickly accepts it as a part of her, settling into the thinking that her feelings were just wanting to spend more time with her close friend she can't have fun with in school. That is, until Chaewon shows her a bad rom-com one night and she comes to understand what happened.
Nerve-racking. Her first reaction is panic, refusing to pick up Jaemin's calls for the weekend and texting him a brief Sorry, I'm busy. She dives into her schoolwork to ignore Jaemin's worried texts, knowing full well he wouldn't dare come over in fear of seeing her father, and tries to forget about her predicament in doing so. Her penchant for ignoring her issues is no stranger to Jaemin, so the moment he spots her come Monday, he makes a beeline for her, ignoring the curious stares of passersby. He frets over her in spite of everything: asking if her father had done something, if Yoonoh was in good health, if Chaewon had hurt her, or if he himself had done something wrong. Miyoung stares at him throughout and she feels herself cave. She comes to her resolution.
This is too precious to ruin. He means too much to lose.
Jaemin, on the other hand, had nothing change. He loved her little gasps at toy trinkets the same as he did years ago: platonically. She felt more like a little sister to him than a potential love interest. So he expects nothing to change when he receives a text from her during the summer of their first year:
[21:54] JUNG MIMI!! Hey dad isn't home rn, come over I wanna show you something
[21:59] NANA JAEM!! Lol ok, I'm omw
[22:13] NANA JAEM!! open the door !
Before he can even raise his hand to knock on the door and ensure she got his message, the door to her penthouse swung open and there she stood, Jung Miyoung, in her pajama-clad glory with her glasses just about to slip from the tip of her nose and hair resembling like a bird's nest. She looks at him in confusion, "You— how did you get in?"
Jaemin shrugs in response, "The guy in the lobby just told me to head up."
Miyoung frowns. "I hope he doesn't tell my dad. Remind me to talk to him when you go down. Anyways! Go, go, to the stairs over there."
Jaemin slows his pace and leans back as Miyoung struggles to push him into a small doorway in the penthouse, laughing as she grunts under his weight. "You're. So. Fat." Miyoung huffs, "Can you just walk up the stairs like a normal person?"
Hands up in surrender, Jaemin walks up the staircase he's introduced to to reach a battered door at the very top. There he waits for Miyoung to catch up and place her hand on the doorknob. "You ready?"
"I bet it's a rooftop or another floor."
Rolling her eyes, Miyoung swings the door open and Jaemin subsequently gasps. The floor is decorated with small gardens, the walls with vertical farms, and small potted plants line the little ledge by the edge of the rooftop. It's not particularly large, but any natural wonder is worthy of at least momentary disbelief in their bustling city.
She turns around, eyes sparkling and hair wild as the breeze combs through it. Her arms are spread, figure illuminated by the glittering lights of the city around them. "Do you like it? I'm growing tomatoes right now and it's kinda embarrassing so you're the first one to see this but I think you'd make pretty good tomato soup. If, if you want that is."
Oh.
"...Beautiful."
Her smile widens. Oh.

"You've been acting weird lately."
It's true; Jaemin had been growing distant from Miyoung ever since he came to realize his feelings for her. Coming to terms with the fact that he now had feelings for one of his longest and closest friends was hard enough as it was. Miyoung definitely wasn't helping him by trying harder to talk to him at every instant to try and convince herself that her growing feelings were just a momentary lapse in judgement. (They weren't.)
In retrospect, he hadn't been acting that weird since that night on the rooftop. They had hung out as much, studied together just as much, but he had been emotionally distant — enough for even Miyoung to notice. Whenever they were together, he seemed distracted by something. Whenever he called, he'd keep whatever he was saying brief instead of rambling as he usually did. She would see him hit the other boys in their class whenever he was around her and he'd never explain the reason why to her no matter how much she asked. Such behaviour was disconcerting, especially as it had been going on for nearly five months. She wasn't like Jaemin in the sense that she could confront him immediately after noticing something was off. If he had a bruise, she'd confront him. But the intangibility of her situation left her confused, hurt, and anxious. Consequently, pulling him aside after school and mustering up a semi-scripted monologue she'd been rehearsing for weeks was no easy feat.
"I mean, ever since I showed you my rooftop garden. Was it really that weird? I, well, I know it was weird for me to show you because I'm not the outdoors-y gardening person but I — it's cathartic and I like it. But if it isn't that then did I do something wrong? Is everything okay at home? You haven't told me anything about your parents in a while. It's touchy because of... everything that's been happening over the past decade but you know you can always talk to me, right? I said something wrong, didn't I? I know that I'm really, really, really bad at expressing things and empathizing so if I did something bad please tell me otherwise I won't know and I can't apologize if I don't know what I did wrong." Her voice slowly gets quieter and her tone quickens as she talks, unable to meet his eyes.
She takes a long breath and squeezes her eyes shut. "Please."
Miyoung isn't sure what she expects from all this. All she knows is that she finds it imperative that they go back to normal.
Before she knows it, she's being pulled in, squeezed tight toward someone warm and trembling. Her breath leaves her at the intensity of his hug, but she can't bring herself to mind. Slowly, she brings her arms up to cling at his shirt.
"Sorry," she thinks she can hear his voice shaking, "I'm so sorry. I just, I'm gonna be honest with you right now so don't, don't say anything for now, okay?" She nods against the rough fabric of his shirt and he exhales, resting his chin on top of her head. "I just, that day when you showed me your garden, you looked really ugly when you opened the door. So — ow! Stop that — when you were showed the garden to me you looked so... perfect up there. And it's kinda stupid, right? Me coming to like you now of all times but I like you a lot and I didn't want you to find out because everyone tells me it's obvious but you're just dense.
"Nothing has to change though, I hope you know that. I'm still me and we'll still be friends, okay?"
He looks down at the top of her head, trying to smooth out her messed-up bun. "Sorry."
Suddenly, Miyoung hugs him tighter, shaking against him. "Are you okay? I know I messed u —" he pauses, listening intently. "Jung Miyoung! Are you seriously laughing right now?"
The coming week is, without a doubt, the best of her life. Their first year of high school ends elatedly. Neither of them tell their friends and decide to keep their budding romance a secret. For now, at least. But it all comes crashing down faster than either of them could have expected. It comes in the form of Miyoung's father prancing into their house, laughing gleefully as he picks up his daughter and spins her around. She believes it's an extension of her good luck that her father's finally glad to see her until he tells her that the Jung Group finally won the lawsuit against ANTIGEN.
[18:42] NANA JAEM!! Hey, I think we should keep our distance for a while. Sorry, my parents are really upset right now
[18:42] NANA JAEM!! I'll talk to you later, yeah?
News of the outcome breaks the following day. Two weeks later, ANTIGEN declares bankruptcy. Miyoung still doesn't hear from Jaemin.
[08:22] JUNG MIMI!! Hi, I haven't heard from you in a while
[08:23] JUNG MIMI!! is everything okay?
[17:11] Jung Miyeon Please talk to me
[21:16] Jung Miyeon Can we meet up and talk?
[13:29] +82 XXX-XXX-XXX Jaemin?
Just before their second year begins, news of ANTIGEN's former CEO's suicide hits headlines. They blame him for not only attempting to claim the work of Jung Pharmaceuticals, but for trying to evoke pity from the public after the ten-year war. So it's understandable, what Jaemin starts to do. His grief and anger entail an outlet and Jung Joonsu isn't a viable option with the countless guards that surround him. He turns to his next best option then. For what it's worth, she has Jung blood running through her.
[04:37] NANA JAEM!! can you just leave me alone?
relationship status We've known each other since forever, our families have butted heads longer, and I've liked you even longer than all that and as it turns out you liked me too but blood runs thicker than water and you prioritized family loyalties so now you hate me and that's fine and I get it, I really do, but I hope one day you'll be able to smile at me again.
fin: talking to the moon
blurry photographs / lingering gazes / walking in the rain / needing time alone / eraser shavings cast to a corner of the desk / winter's icy breeze
When they come back to school that winter, she recalls trying to approach Jaemin. She touches his arm to get his attention. It happens so quick that she can barely catch it. She sees him turn toward her, surprise flashes through his eyes. Surprise takes on the form of disgust and resentment as he shakes her off and turns his heel. Some of those around him adopt his stance. Others pity her.
Later, Jeno tells her that, after much negotiation, Jaemin was allowed to stay in Yeong Gwang as a scholarship student. He tells her that Jaemin's angry at something, but he's refused to talk about it with his friends. Miyoung knows, though. He's furious that he befriended her in the first place, livid that he let himself fall for her when all her family has done is crush his own into ignominy.
Possible contingencies:
one Jaemin comes to realize his wrongdoings whether it be on his own or with the help of his friends talking some sense into him, apologizes, and they become tentative friends who like each other a lot. (Personally, I find that the chance that they'll date highly unlikely with how terribly life has been for Jaemin as of late and I think that the best support Miyoung can provide for him is platonic.)
two Jaemin doesn't apologize or try to approach Miyoung anymore. Whether or not he comes to realize how terribly he's acting toward someone who played no part in his father's death, his pride refuses to let him accept his fault. They remain as they are, cold stares and longing glances. Miyoung throws herself further into her workload. They end up going to different universities (Jaemin probably one of the SKY universities on a scholarship and Miyoung either goes to KAIST if she can convince her father to let her go, a different SKY university, or no further education whatsoever).

comments WOO! THIS IS A MESS! BUT IT'S FINALLY DONE! i'm so sorry if nothing makes sense. if you can't tell i have no idea what i'm doing (ఠ్ఠ ˓̭ ఠ్ఠ) but i hope you like this??? ?? ?????? i haven't read through anything yet so if there are any typos/anything that's hard to understand please tell me and i'll clarify it! i just wanted to get this headache of an app in asap !! i honestly wrote this over the longest period of time so now i don't know if anything is coherent but i hope it is... anyways, please play the little soundcloud icons when you read about each character/love story section ヽ(´∀｀ヽ) they're just the songs i listened to when i was writing each part of the app and i think the songs capture the feel of each part/character?? maybe???? (also heads up part 3 was supposed to be in two parts but i didn't have another color accent to use and i didn't want to make another mini moodboard so here we are) (if you can't tell by now, there's no love rival because i think the family drama is more than enough!) i also really wanted to integrate 2jin into this story but alas, i created miyoung before i properly read haera's app and then i couldn't think of any world where miyoung and haera get along (◞‸◟；)
tldr here you go, 11k+ of my spectacular word vomit! i'm so sorry
lastly, i just wanted to point out that i never clarified whether antigen or jung pharm created the medication, just that the jungs won the lawsuit (spooky vibes~~~)
scene suggestions
girl friend this isn't really a scene suggestion but... miyoung having a female friend in the diamond class? i love girl love and miyoung needs friends other than chaewon (╥ω╥) also bc i really hope she has someone who is publicly on her side in the class considering how popular jaemin is and how strongly he influences the people around him
the jung group gala the jung group's annual gala? the entire diamond class is invited by joonsu without miyoung's knowledge and? does jaemin show up out of spite? does anyone that miyoung knows or cares about show up (aside from chaewon) of their own volition?
overwork in trying to forget about how much she hurt jaemin, miyoung launches herself into her work. she ends up overworking and is taken to the ER, determined malnutritious, and is forced to stay there for a few days
yoonoh yoonoh jeffrey jung comes home? woosh woosh big bad brother here to defeat all who've made his baby sister sad (not really but just him coming back home and giving miyoung a moment of respite)
OOH U GO GIRL the pressure of everything builds up and miyoung snaps and lets all her inner thoughts boil up and come out: she yells at the jung group's business partners for trying to make her think a certain way, at her father for being a d*ckwad, and at her tutors for trying to make her be someone she isn't. she still can't bring herself to talk to jaemin and risk the possibility of further upsetting him though.
