Ulzzang/Actress name: Park Hwan Hui (Hana)

Back-up Ulzzang/Actress name: Han Su Hyun

Style: Eunmi likes a simple and casual style but knows how to dress classy and business-like whenever the need arises. She doesn't really know how to dress fashionably, so this is why she chooses this type of style. She loves wearing scarves and shirts that have the shoulders cut out for some reason. She also likes to be in comfy, simple clothes when she's not working, so she usually doesn't like wearing skin-tight clothes (except skinny jeans). She'd usually wear a V-neck or comfy, big T-shirt with jeans and Converse shoes. For formal events, she's the opposite and loves body-hugging dresses (which makes her little brother embarrassed and protective over her).

Your chosen storyline: The Iris { French Restaurant }

Back-up Storyline: The Ant { Pastry Shop }

Brief Personality: Eunmi is a fun, outgoing, caring, straightforward, honest, hardworking, and responsible type of person all in one. She likes to be honest with her opinions and doesn't mind stating them out loud. She doesn't mind letting others know her thoughts even though it could turn out good, funny, or bad. She knows when to be quiet and knows when to speak which is why she is usually the spokesperson for her friends. She almost always knows what to say when it comes to business and playing around. When she's with her friends, she likes to joke around and have fun with them. She also has a tendency to flirt with any of her guy friends even though it's unintentional. It comes naturally to her, and she doesn't even know it. The only thing she has trouble with is talking about her own feelings, such as falling in love. She tends to get awkward and not know what to say since she's never really had the opportunity to fall in love since she's just focused on her business ever since she first thought about it in college.

Ever since she was young, she always had the habit of making more guy friends than girl friends, probably due to the fact of her honest attitude. She can be laidback when she's not working, so she doesn't intentionally cause drama around her. She's playful with her friends which is another bonus to anybody friends with her, but she knows when to quit since she knows she's the oldest out of her other friends. She watches out for them and makes sure they're always doing well with whatever is going on in their lives. She's protective of her friends and always sticks up for them and herself whenever she feels threatened in any way. Because of her protective nature, she's never really cried before because she thinks it's a sign of weakness. She only ever cries if the stress and frustration are too much for her to handle.

She loves meeting new people since she seems to be a very likeable person with a likeable face. Even when she's not smiling, she looks very friendly. There are times when she gets really happy and hyper and always directs smiles to anybody she sees. She doesn't get bouncy when she's hyper though. She just tends to be a bit playful and mischievous to where she likes to sneak up on her close friends and give them surprise hugs or do the whole tap one shoulder and disappear thing, for example. People are always attracted to her friendly and playful personality. She rarely gets angry since she has a big patience with everybody (except when it comes to her restaurant and the meals). When she does get angry, she tends to get verbal and always sends out glares to anybody in her way except her customers.

» dear my family

Family Background: Eunmi came from a relatively normal family, who's lived in Seoul, South Korea their whole lives. Her father is a successful businessman in Seoul while her mother became a successful cafe owner with two-three other stores around Seoul. She has a younger brother who acts like her older brother sometimes in the way he is over-protective about her. They weren't overly rich, but they weren't poor either. They had a normal lifestyle to where both her and her brother were taught to be polite and nice to anybody they first meet, and Eunmi was glad for that. She and her brother have a close relationship and always had one since they were younger. Even when she studied abroad, they still kept in touch through email and video messages.

In school, Eunmi was always the hardworking type, which her parents were always proud of. They were never really strict on her during her school studies since they knew she always tried her best. When she was in her senior year in high school, she was able to study abroad in France since her father was able to get her connections, and it'd give her a great chance to experience something new. She ended up returning there the next year for her college years to focus on Culinary Arts in Paris, France. This was how she became fluent in both English and French. Since she had to move from South Korea to France, and then back to South Korea to open up her own restaurant (with the help of her parents and support of her younger brother), she never really had a chance to experience love and doesn't know what it feels like.

Family members: 

• Kim Jaehwa | 54 | Businessman | OC | Father | He is always there for his daughter even though they don't exactly have a very close relationship. They have a slightly awkward relationship. He's sarcastic, funny, caring, and responsible
• Kim Haneul | 53 | Cafe owner | OC | Mother | She is always there for her daughter and helps her out whenever the other needs it. They have a closer relationship and is considered okay between Eunmi and her father and Eunmi and her younger brother. She is kind, caring, and funny.
• Kim 'Kai' Jongin | 22 | Works at his sister's restaurant as a waiter | Idol (EXO) | Younger brother | He and Eunmi have the closest relationship amongst their whole family members. They always like to tease the other about anything and have a fun time together. He's flirty (but knows when he does it unlike his sister), caring, protective, and can be either quiet or loud depending on who he's with.

Bestfriend(s):

• Kim 'Key' Kibum | 25 | Chef and owner of another restaurant in town | Idol (SHINee) | Key and Eunmi have a close friendship to where they can always go to the other for help or anything. He knows the stress of being a chef and owner of their own restaurant. They'd hang out and go shopping together since she's one of the few people who could tolerate shopping with Key. They like to be dramatic with each other and laugh and have a good time together. She can always go to him for problems since she knows he'll be honest with her about anything.
• Zhang 'Lay' Yixing | 25 | Chef-in-training at Eunmi's restaurant/floater (plays piano, waiter, host) | Idol (EXO) | Lay and Eunmi have a close friendship to where she can talk out any of her problems and stress to him, and he'll just listen and give feedback. Sometimes, she'd listen to him and do the same in return. They'd like to tease the other and have a good time together. He likes to make her laugh and smile and always seems to know what to do to make her feel better. He's also good friends with her younger brother since they both love to dance.

Friend(s):

• Meng Jia | 24 | Dance teacher | Idol (miss A) | They have a typical kind of friendship where they know they can always go to the other for anything, especially food for Jia's case. She's a frequent customer of Eunmi's restaurant and always goes there to chat with all the staff and Eunmi since she pretty much knows all of them by how much she goes there.
• Lu Han | 25 | Waiter at her restaurant | Idol (EXO) | He's another friend of hers simply because he's one of Kai's friends. She always helps him out whenever he needs it and acts like the typical 'younger' sister to him. Because of this, he likes to with Kai about any guy she unintentionally flirts with, causing her to hit them on the shoulders and tell them to get back to work.
• Cho Kyuhyun | 25 | Singer at a classy club | Idol (Super Junior) | He's snarky and always shows it to Eunmi whenever he goes to her restaurant to visit her. He's honest in his opinions and tells them to her on ways to improve her restaurant even though he doesn't know what he's suggesting half the time because he doesn't own a restaurant and cook very often. They're good friends despite of this and like to make fun of the other.

» a 'good' bye

Anything more?: Eunmi was able to travel to some cities in France while she stayed there. The reason why she likes Lyons, France is because of it's famous light festival. One of the reasons why she tolerates shopping with Key is because he always helps her choose nice clothes for her whenever they go out. Ah, Lay, Kai, and Luhan are all friends in here, and Kai was the reason why Eunmi hired the other two besides both of their likeable, different personalities... Other than that... I can't think of anything else >.<.

Comment(s): 

• I can't think of any suggestions except having Lay teach Eunmi how to play the piano during their downtime in the restaurant? And having Kai watch them from a distance and appreciate his friend for slowly letting his older sister fall in love with him?
• Scenes of Lay intentionally making Eunmi laugh since he loves hearing it and gets a small smile on his face when he does?
• Kai and Eunmi teasing the other is always a funny scene too or Kai helping out his sister in her restaurant or whenever she has a crying breakdown, knowing he's the only one who has seen her cry before?
• Lay suddenly stumbling upon Eunmi when she's crying? >.< I'm just throwing out random scenes now... Sorry about that!
• This story also sounds really good! You did a great job with it and everything! :D
