Her brothers always said that she's a very determined person, she'll never give up on anything even when others said it's impossible. Hyerin's intelligence showed since she was a kid, top of her class during school and hard-working in everything. She has a very good eyes on anything, highly observant and detailed. She could point out any slight changes of differences on people of mood. No one can hide things from her, she's very good at spoting liars but also really good at lying or hiding things. Hyerin's good at reading people's expression and she would call out anything's off according to her. She doesn't easily get annoyed or insulted, she always takes it easy. 
Hyerin is charming in her own way, she could make people listen to what she needs to say. Her friends said she's a stan-attractor, someone that could you looked up at. She's also quite a good listener although she would throw some sarcastic comment such as 'Go on, keep rolling your eyes, maybe youll find your brain back there' or 'Are you serious? Losing a screw or two in your brain?' but she actually does listen to you. She just doesn't like people being pessimistic all the time. Her opinion and comments about something is always on point for example 'That highly overpriced sack-like dress? Nope, don't even think to buy it, I'm saving your pride and wallet. Besides, Celine has a better dress than this and it only costs $2000'. Also, she could be very persuasive with her words and actions somehow made her to be able to win a lot of arguements, her brothers used to say that she is gifted to become a lawyer but she doesn't want to become one because she said she 'might point out everything wrong on her client before trial' and she'll have no career on it.
Her friendly and easy-going look masks her domineering and competitive attitude. She has her ways with words to get what she wants and at some points even ask someone to do something for her. Hyerin doesn't have the word 'failed' or 'lose' in her dictionary, she doesn't accept any forms of failure in her eyes and expect others to follow the same. Her brothers repeatedly try to make her realize that it is impossible to put a high standard that she has to herself on others. But those traits are the traits that got her to the top of her class and achieved quite a lot of achievement outside academics. She's loyal and always make sure that people she cares about are propely treated, she doesn't allow any kind of bullying. She stands up for her friends a lot and does not take bulls from others.
Hyerin never lies while giving out opinions or comments but she is very good at hiding things from people. She listens to others but doesn't really talk about what's bothering her unless it's really bothering her. She overthinks anything that she does or others do, she keep up a lot in herself and covers any pain that she feels from others. She feels if anyone finds out, she will be exposed and people would use it againts her. 
BACKGROUND
Han Hyerin was born as the youngest of three and the only daughter of Han Sunwoo and Choi Miyoung. Her father is a software company CEO, a real IT genius who inherited the company from his father and nicknamed the iron hand. Her mother is a florist who enjoys painting in her free time, she was her husband's college friend before getting married. Choi Miyoung is the youngest daughter of Choi Jonghyun, the chairmand brother of SK Group's founder, which means she's also the younger sister of the current SK Group chairman. Hyerin's oldest brother, Han Seungwon, is 7 years older than her is the supervisor in R&D development at their father's company. Her second older brother, Han Sungwon, is 4 years older than her and currently a last year medical student,going to his intership soon. Hyerin was practially raised by her mom and brothers, her mom provides everything for Hyerin and her brothers while her father is busy with his work even rarely comes home.
Hyerin used to wait for her father until he comes home but he rarely does, even if he does, it would be two or three o'clock in the morning. She would find herself back in her bed after waiting in the living room for him, when she turns six, she stopped waiting for him. Realizing that it is useless anyway, he rarely made time for his family. All he thinks is work, if anyone could get married to their job, her father would be the first to sign up for it. That's how she grows closer to her brothers, they take care of her and always try to make time for her. As their mother's health deteriorates, Seungwon and Sungwon try their best to keep Hyerin out of the loop because she's still too young and try to take care of her when their mother needs to stay in the hospital. She was nine years old when the doctors diagnosed her mother with schizophrenia and every day it is getting worse. The psychotic episode sometimes lasted more than a week, their mom wouldn't acknowledge her own children because somehow she believed she's not married yet. Seungwon was hurt when their mother try to fight the medicine that they need to administer for her, a group of nurses aren't enough to calm their mother. In one instance, Hyerin noticed how her mother tries to kick Sungwon away when he came in to give her the medicine, believing that he is some evil entity in her hallucination.
Her father decided it was too much to keep her mother home while his wife's mood and behaviour is uncontrollable. She could be happily singing along while painting on her easel and then threatening her own life with broken or shattered glass. Seungwon tries his best to keep Hyerin out of it but it was getting harder. A week after her 10th birhtday, her mom was sent into a residential treatment center in Ok-dong, Namgu, Ulsan. The residential treatment center is a highly popular and expensive treatment center on the hill, a family friend of Han Family is the owner of the treatment center. With it's secluded and exclusivity, he trusted his wife in it. Hyerin wasn't alowed to visit her mother without her father's consent but Seungwon and Sungwon always manage to take her to see their mom together evey last weekend of the month. It's like a tradition for them. 
When Seungwon left for MIT, Hyerin was left with Sungwon who then left to Seoul to continue his study at SNU medical school. Just like any other family member in her family, Hyerin attented Keisung Academy where her family has been one of the main donators for the indepentdent co-ed boarding school. It is also another great chance for her to avoid her father, decreasing any interactions they'd have if there were only the two of them at home. When it's her turn to go to college, she refused any attempt from her father to make her leave Korea. Even though her ranking and grades are good enough to be accepted at SNU, KU, or Yonsei, she managed to talk her way to get into University of Ulsan despite all disagreement between her and her father. She wants to be able to see her mom more frequently and blame her father for keeping her mom away from her. Cold wars and arguements are inevitable whenever she meets her father. He hurts her so she decided that she doesn't need to protect him like how she portects anyone else in her life. Sometimes the only contact that she has with him is through his father's personal secretary.

She loves laying down on bed in the morning for a while before having to get up and get ready for classes. She lives in a two bedroom apartment 20 minutes from the campus.

At the end of the date, she would say "I'm here by their request, sorry" 
Although she loves parties and hanging out, she never wants to go anywhere on Sunday unless she really needs to go. She dedicated the whole day to stay in her apartment but still open for anyone to visit her. Sometimes Seungwon or Sungwon would come down and stay with her. She uses Sunday to revisit any school projects that she has left although she would always working on them the day the professors gave the assignments.

INTERVIEW

WHICH HIGH SCHOOL DID YOU GRADUATE FROM?

It's an independent co-ed boarding school in Daegu and it's been a family tradition to go to that high school, besides it helps me to become more independent by living in the dorm."

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS MAJOR? IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY UNDECIDED, WHICH MAJOR ARE YOU LEANING TOWARDS?
She tilts her head a little bit, "Well, global management is something that certainly needed in any company. My family do have a business but I'm not only learning because I might be working for my brother in the future. Business competition nowadays is not only happening between companies in the same country but also between countries which brings this major to be a key part as an ammunition for companies to thrive in global market. I want to be able to understand and meet the demands in the global maket which will be very competitive and fluctuative. But, still I want to take a part in this key role and this major has no restriction in what kind of career I might pursue in the future so, why not?" she shrugs with a smile, as confident as she always been.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO GAIN OUT OF COLLEGE LIFE?
Hyerin pauses for a moment, her brain is scrambling words as quickly as possible. "Memories and experiences. Actually, memory is a bit too general but I am sure that college life is something that will give you a bit of reality check, that sometimes life isn't always about what we hoped for. A little bit of reality check about the professional world that we are running towards to. It prepares us for the future and experiences, of course, that would be really helpful for future life. Connecting with new people, making friends, probably getting hurt along the way, finding our true self. These are the things that I hope I would gain."

WHAT IS ONE WORD THAT YOU WOULD WANT PEOPLE TO DESCRIBE YOU AS?
"One? Only one?" she raises her brows while looking at the interviewer to make sure she didn't hear it wrong. As the interviewer nodded, she let out a chuckle. "Determined, because I am determined. I believe without determination, it won't get anyone anywhere. I'm here because I am determined to get to Ulsan," she tilted her head a little bit before continuing, "The Allies managed to plan D-Day because they are determined to take over what they lost, I am very determined to get things that I have my eyes on. Of course, anything legal." she jokes a little bit.

WHAT PART-TIME JOBS ARE YOU UNDERTAKING NOW OR PLAN TO UNDERTAKE IN THE FUTURE?
"I'm still thinking about it, I'm currently not working or part-timing anywhere but it would be a really great experience if I got to. I'm keeping my options open for any possibilities in the future."

HOW DO YOU COPE WITH STRESSFUL SITUATIONS?
Hyerin looks down a little bit and smiled, a stressful situation is the definition of her life. "I am pretty good at coping with stress and dealing with stressful situations. Instead of avoiding it, I would go forward with my strategy to overcome it. You could say I became more dangerous then," all her life, she's been dealing with stressful situations all her life. Talking with her father is like going to war, she preps up and ready with all her ace cards in her pocket. Her words are not rude but it's as sharp as knife.

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON DRINKING, CLUBBING, AND NIGHTLIFE ACTIVITIES?
Hyerin shrugs, "I drink occasionally, my older brother is a licensed bartender. He would practice at home and then let me and my other brother to taste his drinks, my family is a huge fans of wine. So drinking isn't a problem. Clubbing and nightlife activities also don't really bothered me that much, I mean, people were trying to have fun and relieve their stress. I don't like being in crowded place that much but I won't resists when someone ask me to go to the club." she answers calmly and then remembers something, "Oh, and I hate smoking. I don't want anyone to smoke within a couple feets from me, I don't like the smell." she adds.

DO YOU PLAN TO STUDY ABROAD AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT FOR A SEMESTER? IF SO, WHERE?
Hyerin hums for a while, trying to find an answer. "I think western countries would be a very good place to study abroad to. I'm studying global management so I should be studying where the market literally a free-market. United States, United Kingdom, or France would be a great place to studying at."

WHICH PLACES WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL TO DURING SCHOOL BREAKS?
"Jeju, Iceland, London.... I know, very random but I've always wanted to spend some time on those places. Especially London, I would love to go to the London Eye, the big observation wheel near the Thames. It would be lovely,"

WHAT ARE YOUR SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM GOALS AFTER GRADUATING?
"Short-term is obviously high GPA though I'm sure that high GPA isn't the only standard that we need to be employed. Experiences in organizations and internships in various fields are also important, something that I'm also planning to achieve in the short-term. Make friends and taking care of people I've known also important for me, I want to protect them whatever it takes. Long-term goals are still varied, I want to help my brother in the company, taking care of my mom, help my friends along the way, a lot of things I'm planning for the future." she smiles confidently, also being with him, she adds in her mind.

Ong Seongwoo was born in Incheon, his mother's hometown, but then moved to Daegu when he turned 3 years old. He is the only child of GN Group conglomerate CEO, Ong Seokwoo. He lost his mother due to cancer and he is the only heir to the CEO seat as his father is the oldest son of the chairwoman, Seongwoo's grandmother. Seongwoo grew up in Daegu alongside Hyerin, Sera, and Sunghoon. He lost his mother just before his junior high school graduation, his mother has been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) for two years then. He is not close to his father who chose works over his family and decided to not let Seongwoo goes to his own mother's funeral because Seongwoo screamed and yelled at him during his mother's final days. His father rarely visits he hospital and at some point wanted to move his mother far from him. Unbeknown to him, right before his mother went to the hospital, she signed a divorce settlement with his father and determined to take Seongwoo with her. On top of that, his father has taken mistress during his marriage with Seongwoo's mother, fueling his mother's determination to not let her son got hurt by him. Throughout her marriage, she was never happy from the start and his father never gave her a chance. 

Seongwoo blames his father for his mother's death, he knows it's inevitable but all he asks are some care and warm from his own father. Seongwoo was loved dearly by his grandmother and he respects his grandmother. After he graduated from high school, he was directly sent to London to study there, finishing up his bachelor degree at City, University of London's The Business School taking business management and then come back to South Korea ready to take over the company.

OUR STORY: 

Seongwoo met Hyerin alongside Sera and Sunghoon back in kindergarten. The four of them quickly became best friends and wouldn't separate even until now. At first, Seongwoo though Hyerin just a sassy brat who was spoiled back at home. But then when her mother was sent away and she turned defensive, he understands what she feels. Out of the four, only Sunghoon who has a good relationship with his own family. Seongwoo's house is the closest one with Hyerin so she would come to his house or asked him to come over whenever she feels she needs someone to talk to, especially when her brothers are busy. He became her confidante over time. When his mother was diagnosed with ALL, the three of them tried their best to cheer him up and visit his mother often. Seongwoo called them to come over to his house when his mom passed away, he told them how his father refused to let him to go to the funeral, went into a big slump, and for the first time in his life, cried for days. Hyerin was the one who would regularly come over, try to talk to him, and help him to move on with his life. 

Since then Seongwoo cares abut her deeply, although it was unclear how both feels about each other at the time but he clearly shows more care towards her. When students in high school talking about her mom or her, Seongwoo would come towards them and then knock some of their common senses. Showing them clearly that they have no right to talk about her or any of his friends. Just like how he starts to cares about her in a romantic way, Hyerin also starts to develop some soft spots on him. She doesn't say about this to anyone but it's like a mutual agreement to keep it a secret from the other two.
Although skinship between the four is usual, but between Seongwoo and Hyerin is clearly more than something between childhood friends. He would accompany her to go visit her mother in Ulsan during high school. Seongwoo knows this thing happening between them isn't just a fling. It's something that grew over the time they've been friends, best friends, and then they got into this relationship that they couldn't even tell what is it. Hyerin doesn't usually break down but her mom's deteriorating condition and constant mental battle with her own father don't really help. She would break down and the strong Hyerin is no longer in sight. Seongwoo would come and console her, trying to revive her just like what she'd do to him.
This relationship has been going on since their last year in junior high school. On their high school graduation, he told her that he's going to London.
 
"I knew," she said, "Yet you're still disappointed?" he asked her back and she just chuckled. "You'd rather me not to?" she asked him back and now he's the one who's laughing. Hyerin looked away, she knew she'd be going to the same college with Sera and Sunghoon but without Seongwoo it won't be the same. He smiled and reached out her hand, "I'm just one call away," he shurgs but she rolled her eyes. "Yeah, with 8 hours difference." she said while letting him to hold her hand. 
"I'll come back between breaks or you can come and visit me." he said while holding her hand, looking at her. Hyerin looked at him and raised her brows, "Oh, come on. Don't you act coy, I've always love you. I just didn't say it out loud," he said while looking at the other way. Hyerin took a glance at him and then smiled, "Well, you can keep my heart then." she said as if it sealed both of their feelings.
 
Seongwoo went to London and tries his best to keep in contact with everyone especially Hyerin. Although they don't seal their relationship, they know each other's feelings. She feels the happiest with him around and he feels the same, he feels that he needs to protect her. She made him want to keep on fighting in his life, when his mom died, half of his soul feels like it died with her. But Hyerin revives his lost soul, bringing back the light in his life again.
