appearance: standing 160cm and weighing 47kg, yi jeong is considered petite among her peers. she has straight jet black hair reaching just above her chest. she usually wears it down or ties up into a high ponytail. she has a pair of earlobe piercings. blessed with dainty features and youthful skin, there is little difference with or without makeup. she prefers light makeup: brows (she won't leave the house without her brows drawn!), concealer (for her eyebags and any imperfections) and a lip product (her go-to lip product is either mac's devoted to chili or romand's brick river) she has myopia (-8.0) so she usually wears her go-to acuvue monthlies on a daily basis. otherwise, she will be donning her oversized glasses. she has an unique and small beauty mark on the left corner of her bottom lip. she is relatively fair and doesn't get tanned easily. she has a toned body and a bubble . with a good body proportion, many would think that she is taller than her actual height.

fashion & style: comfort, minimal and stylish is what yi jeong looks for in clothes. her wardrobe is mainly filled with muted colours. she's a jeans, figure-hugging tops and oversized outerwear kind of girl. currently, she has grown out of the phase of shorts and mini skirts, feeling much more comfortable in longer bottoms (midi or maxi). her wardrobe is mostly filled with work-appropriate clothes. and girl loves her kitten heels. the height boost of 4 to 5 cm gives her an added confidence. yi jeong loves to accessorise with simple and minimalistic earrings and necklaces

traits:
(positives) independent, decisive, loyal, down-to-earth
(neutral) easy-going, mature
(negatives) idealistic, impatient, cold, forgetful

elaboration
if ha yi jeong doesn't ring a bell, honeyjewel definitely does. yi jeong's ig account is famous within yeongi university and her photos are always so aesthestically taken and curated. this girl is famous in business school, scratch that, in the univesity, as the biz princess of class 2020. she is a definitely the popular girl with unique charms and is ranked #4 out of the entire school as the one of the senior girls underclassmen have a crush on (jinah is ranked #3). besides her popularity as a micro-influencer, yi jeong is also a student with decent grades. she is the epitome of a perfect girl leading a perfect life in other eyes, making them green with envy.

yi jeong's friend circle is small as she only hangs around a selective few, mostly jinah and hyejoo, who are part of her tight-knitted clique. she seems aloof and becoming her friend is almost impossible. well, it's true that yi jeong chooses her friends (i mean, who doesn't). she has high regards for relationships and will only be friends with people she can actually click well. yi jeong is someone who have a few close friends instead of a bunch of acquaintances. hence, she doesn't go around becoming friends with everyone.

but when you are her friend, you will find that she's the "most wholesome, loyal and down-to-earth girl on this planet", quoted by hyejoo. she is very easy-going and open-minded, embracing whoever you are. once you get get to know her, you will find out her blur and forgetful side, which is why she needs to take down her schedules and important notes. oh, before i forget, she has the worst sense of direction, which causes her to be almost always late (cause she couldn't find the place).

mature and independent, she is definitely not that clingy figure and is able to hang around places alone and have fun alone. as an introvert, she actually enjoys and values alone time (in cafes people-watching or gymming alone), allowing her to recharge her social battery.

unlike other girls who takes a million years to decide on something, yi jeong is extremely decisive and sticks by her decisions (she will never regret her decisions as they are already well-thought out in her head). she's that friend who will make all the decisions for you when you are stuck in your bubble of indecisiveness, and you better listen to her and stop wasting her time, before you annoy her off good time. 

she can be an idealistic girl, living through rose-tinted glasses. she will try to see the good in everyone until you give her a solid reason not to and that actually disappoints her a lot. 
    
background
yi jeong came from a warm and loving middle class family, having a great relationship with her family.  her parents are bothing working back in ulsan and she came down to daepo alone for university.

university literally turned yi jeong's life upside down...in a good way of course. she managed to experiment with things she never thought she was able to do, build up her confidence and end up becoming a micro-influencer (the last point, of course she won't admit. she never sees herself as a budding influencer and she feels that the title is just too much. moreover, she still wants a stable career in the finance in the sector, so maintaining her ig page is just a side hobby.)
the very surprise came during orientation when she was selected as a pageant candidate to represent her orientation group. that caused her to shed off her glasses and get into exercising to prepare for pageant. who knew she had to also prepare a y dance item with her partner for promotional purposes in stilettos. 18-year-old yi jeong then was not y and definitely not a heels person at all. nonetheless, she also managed to make an awesome friend (jinah) who stuck by her throughout the past years. she remained pretty close to the other pageant kids, after all they were stuck together in training for close to three months. 
sophomore passed by rather quickly. in year 2, she joined the pageant committee as the vice-president. she was in a few clubs: a dance member in her hall dance club (freshman to junior year), an equity research member in the investment society (since sophomore year). she performed in the yearly dance production organised by her hall. (one of her favourite choreographies would be waiting for you; she's the girl in the middle @1:02)
junior year was where she got the chance to go overseas for an exchange programme in indiana, united states during the fall semester. she had a hella good time during exchange, especially so because her one of her bestest friend hyejoo went to the same uni as her.
now she is back in yeongi uni in her last semester, yi jeong is working on her final year project and preparing to graduate and secure a full-time job soon.
 
lifestyle
yi jeong is very disciplined. she gets up at 8 a.m. every morning without fail, no matter what time she slept the previous night (perhaps it is already ingrained in her body clock). after which, she will head go grab breakfast from the kitchen. she has stopped living in hall after junior year and managed to find a relatively priced studio apartment near the school. 
she currently only has two modules to take in school, along with her final year project. so she barely needs to be on campus except for tuesdays and wednesdays. however, she still heads down to her favourite cafe near the arts building to get some work done. every fridays, she will be in school in the evenings for the weekly invest soc equity research meetings. saturday mornings at 10 a.m., she will head down to school as well to give internal sharing sessions to the invest members on the weekly equity research findings. the other divisions will be doing their sharings as well.
as she is considered a micro-influencer, she will get endorsements from certain beauty or fashion brands. whenever she receives the products, she will brainstorm for ideas to present them to her viewers in the format of pictures. thereafter, she would schedule with her photographer, yongbin to take the needed photos. sometimes jinah or hyejoo would help her think of captions. 
yi jeong does not have any part-time jobs. oh wait, maybe you can consider her influencer activities as her part time job. she does get invitations to events and she will go for them if her schedule doesn't clash. being an influncer does gives her a small income. she earns some money from her previous internship experiences in finance firms during summer breaks.
on weekends, yi jeong devotes her morning to the gym. it has been a routine ever since freshman year. no one knows how yi jeong can still get up at 8 a.m. to hit the gym when all one wanna do is to sleep in. she does chill out at bars with her friends on some weekends to catch up. when she was younger, she did have her fair share of clubbing days but now she might be feeling a little too old for clubbing.not a lot of people knows but yi jeong is actually a little homebody at heart. she enjoys cafe-hopping and people-watching. binge-watching k-dramas at one shot is something she likes too. that being said, she won't start on a drama until the series is completed.
 
all in all, yi jeong's life is quite simple and plain, not as extravaganza as people perceives to be. 
don't you love love?

more on my love
 
personality
(+) boisterous, confident, intelligent, charming
(-) flirtatious, frivolous, insensitive, languid

a valentine day boy, minjun has a boyish charm to him that definitely drew yi jeong's attention. i mean, who wouldn't fall in love with his handsome features and cute dimples? his youthful demeanour attracts a lot of company. unlike yi jeong, minjun is the popular kid with many friends. people loves to be around him for he is a happy virus. girls crush on him and guys would love to hang out with a popular kid like him.
you would think that this boy has a big ego because his confidence is sky-rocket high. on contrary, he is very practical and maybe a little modest. he, for sure, doesn't flaunt his wealth, since everything about him screams already rich, there's no need to flaunt right? he can be dressed in a simple white shirt and ripped jeans, but still look like he owns the school. he does everything to the bare minimum but ends up getting the best results. minjun is no doubt smart, a straight-a student. yi jeong can never gets how he can score well in his tests when 80% of the time in finance 101, he was asleep beside her. yi jeong always feels like he is too relaxed and last minute for his own good. he's definitely good at stress management cause this boy doesn't get stressed at all. one occasion he was still doing his slides when his presentation was going to start in ten minutes. but he ended up still giving an a+ presentation.
blessed with attractive looks, this gorgeous boy is a flirt at heart. he is forever throwing out greasy pick-up lines at cute girls, even at yi jeong (of course, leaving her very flustered and a little red on the cheeks). frivilous and carefree,  minjun looks like someone with no worries at all. however, he does have his worries and concerns, but he doesn't show it on his face. so no one really knows what is going in his mind, cause all he does is to put up a cheerful countenance.
background
minjun comes from a relatively well-to-do family. come on, just look at the rolex watch he wears to school. from yi jeong's understanding, his parents are senior executives in bulge bracket firms and yi jeong is very certain that he would end up in one of the top finance firms after graduation, following the path of his parents. 
 
how they met
"i like you and no one knows"
they met in orientation camp, as group mates. when yi jeong first laid eyes on him, she swore he was the most good-looking boy she ever saw in her entire 18 years of life. she slowly started to develop an infatuation for the said boy. however, she usually hung out with hyejoo and some of the other girls, keeping a safe distance between herself and minjun, out of shyness. people thought that yi jeong just hung out better with girls than boys since she is usually seen talking to the girls in her group instead of guys, so her secret is safe with her.
then, both of them were selected to represent their orientation group to participate in pageant. yi jeong has no idea how she was chosen for pageant since she was certain that she wasn't the prettiest or the most talkative girl in the group. as for minjun, it isn't surprising that he was picked. the inner girl within her was secretly elated to be paired with such a handsome boy with cute dimples. it didn't help when their og mates started shipping them together cause of their adorable 20 cm height difference, making yi jeong's heart thump.   
interactions
"i like you but you don't know"
in order to get to know each other better and faster, minjun came up with a "two truths one lie" game, where each day they will get to guess the lie of the other person. through the little ice breaker, yi jeong got to know that minjun is a morning person, he likes his coffee with two teaspoons of sugar, his favourite sport is basketball but he is good at tennis too and he can't lie (his ears will turn red when he lies). he also dislikes when girls throw themselves to him and initiates skinship with him.  
fast forward to pageant practice days, they were given a "new york love story" theme. for their promotion video, their seniors suggested them to perform a short dance item. yi jeong wanted to kill herself so badly cause she didn't think she could dance. what's worse was that the choreography was steamy, the clothes were going to be revealing (for her at least) and there's gonna be loads of eye contact and skinship. despite discovering her and his dance talent through this challenge, yi jeong swore, every practice she tried her hardest to not lose her balance when his hand drapes around her waist, to not melt when he was staring at her with his hooded eyes and to not be obvious that she's crushing on him. during the video filming, her jaw literally dropped when he came in a white shirt and black jeans, looking sinful as hell. she was thankful for her then short bob that covered her red ears. filming started and at the end of the dance, her height (even when the heel boost) allowed her to comfortably hide her face into the crook of his neck, but who knew that minjun was tilt his head down to look at her. his breath literally turned her legs into jelly and she willed herself not to stumble. and finally the video was published to the whole school. everyone was saying it looked as if minjun liked her a lot while she was being indifferent. that's when she knew her efforts in concealment had paid off. 
another fast forward to the end of pageant. minjun was crowned the biz king while she was the biz princess. both of them also snatched away the best couple award for displaying the most chemistry in their interactions and performances. the end of pageant really marked the start of school. however, their og were split into two during class allocation and she was not in the same classes as minjun. it was a pity but she still manages to see him around school during breaks. jinah and hyejoo had long found out about her tiny crush on the biz king, teasing her endlessly every time they crossed paths with minjun. yi jeong will turn red every time and curse at her friends under her breath.
finally, yi jeong ended in the same finance 101 class in year 2 sem 1. and for some reason, minjun chose to sit next to her, claiming that in the class he knows her the best. yi jeong was skeptical but she never complained. finance 101 was a dull subject but it soon became yi jeong's favourite subject just because minjun was in her class. even though they weren't split into the same group for project, she was still thankful that she was able to share a seminar with her crush. since minjun is forever sleeping in the afternoon class (he says the class timing clashed with his afternoon nap), yi jeong will always sent her notes to minjun and update him of important deadlines. the other classes she shared with minjun were all lectures and she will be with her friends and minjun has his friends to stick with. when choosing their major, yi jeong chose finance in a heartbeat after knowing that minjun is probably going to major in finance too. however, her reason for choosing finance when asked is always "i'm not interested in management. data analytics is too complicated for me and while i enjoy marketing, i can't picture myself coming out with creative strategies every day so finance is the last option." she ended up joining the investment society equity research division so as to be in the same club as minjun (minjun is in the fixed income division).
currently (last spring semester), both of them are in the same final year project group, doing a finance consulting practicum for hanA bank. yi jeong was shocked when minjun asked if he could join the three man team (hyejoo, jinah and herself), saying that his group of friends wanted to delay graduation but he still wants to graduate on time. the other two girls welcomed him with open arms happily. So now, they have been diligently working on their own parts, with them mainly talking in the group chat. Besides fyp, yi Jeong and minjun are still in invest together. More recently, minjun has been asking her out for lunch after Saturday sessions. and lastly, both Of them are currently modeling and promoting for an small office wear brand to help the brand reach a greater audience.
love story
it's the last year of university for both minjun and yi jeong. yi jeong is still single and minjun already had three exes. jinah had tried countless times to convince yi jeong to confess to minjun over the years but yi jeong has remained adamant about it. 
when asked why she refused to make the first move, yi jeong said lightly, "he doesn't like me that way."
"how do you even know?" jinah had asked back.
"don't you remember our gathering with the pageant kids over winter break during junior year? there was a question on whether we will date our partners and he replied with a no," yi jeong replied.
"that was like a year ago and you still remembered that? maybe he actually likes you but was shy and was covering up just like how you had been doing for 4 ing years."
"he wasn't lying though," yi jeong shook her head, "whenever he lies, his ears will turn red but when he said 'we are just bros', his ears didn't turn red."
"jinah, let her be. anyway, if he likes her, he will make the first move." hyejoo quipped from the side, before turning to address yi jeong, "and it's time for you to start dating people. college is for dating and having fun and you're already in your last year but still a motae solo. there are so many fishes in the sea, there's no need to be so fixated on him." 
"yeah...but i've just got my eye fixed on that specific, emotionally distant salmon who doesn't want to be with me."
"what the , yi jeong," the two girls hollered simultaneously.
"i think i might like you and i want the whole world to know"
initially, minjun just took her as a good, reliable friend but it is slowly looking at he is starting to develop good feelings for the girl he was partners with for pageant, the girl who was initially shy to talk to him, the girl who everyone thought was his gf after pageant, the girl who is always the first to give shy smiles and waves when he walked past her along the corridors, the girl who took notes for him while he took his afternoon naps, the girl who joined the same invest club as him just to see him more often, the girl who he sometimes have photoshoot sessions with for their ig feeds, the girl who everyone still ships him with until now, the girl who he could actually talk about anything under the sun with and the girl he doesn't mind having skinship with at all. 
he knew from the start that ha yi jeong had feelings for him. yi jeong was the only one who thought that she hid her feelings well but nope. he realised how her doe-eyes will light up whenever he was in the vicinity, how she will be flushed with happiness whenever they are talking, how she coyly blushes a little on instinct whenever they have some form of skinship, how she has been single for four years of college life. looks like he had been unknowingly noticing her all this while too.
