style.
Your typical shirt-and-jeans girl. Average college students like her normally don't bother dressing up anyway and so, Soojin doesn't pay much attention to fads and pretty much just goes with whatever is durable and affordable. She needs to be prioritizing her purchases and therefore doesn't have the luxury to indulge. Comfort is heavily regarded as well, as she's always on the go. Soojin likes to wear band shirts, statement shirts and minimalistically-designed sneakers. Also wears turtlenecks, button-down long sleeves and long skirts. At home, she wears loose shorts and shirts. Will never wear heels. Will never wear V-necks or anything that exposes beyond the collarbone. Ditch every other accessory, but not the wristwatch - she feels without it.

others.
Although a typical nerd would stress on hygiene issues or on the pain of getting it, Soojin, on the other hand decided to have art inked on her skin. She had the words, "You can break everything down to chemicals, but you can't explain a love like ours" tattooed on her left shoulder just below her collarbone. It's a line from The Script's Science and Faith. This tat is the reason for her non-V-neck dress code. She avoids letting anybody see the tat for the risk of being asked repeatedly what it means. More on this later.

【one of a kind】

personality.

Key traits: awkward, calm and stoic exterior but inwardly self-critical, empathetic and compassionate, resilent, does not get mad-gets even, practical and resourceful, somewhat self-sufficient, forward-thinker, work-passionate, a dreamer and a doer, tends to reject own feelings and be passive about the truths that may render her weak

Why fit in, when you were born to stand out? - Dr. Seuss

background.
The family of Soojin's mom is traditional (-ly annoying) and "conservative". They're kind of superficial, always looking out for the family's pride more than actually caring for each other. The Jung family is big (as in, in number) and is quite well-off. Soojin's grandparents, however, want their children to make their own fortunes and run their own lives when they leave the ancestral home. Soojin's mom is the youngest daughter - also her gramp's favorite, which is why her sisters usually are envious of her and why every mistake she makes gets ridiculed. At some point, Soojin's mom had rebelled. 

  

likes.
>>Learning, in general. 
>>Stuff that stimulate logical thinking. Mystery novels, Lego, Rubik's cube, puzzles, Psychological-thrillers. All about ing the mind.
>>Some of Friedrich Nietzsche's principles. Especially the overman.
>>Sun Tzu's Art of War, Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power.
>>American and British TV series/movies.  
>>Benedict Cumberbatch
>>Ed Sheeran, The Fray, Orson, The Script
>>Eating.
>>Vanilla-flavored ice cream, Green & Mint tea., cheesecakes.
>>Blueberries. Which apparently are also scientifically proven to improve short-term memory, balance, coordination and speed.
>>Photography. She's a mere enthusiast, though. She doesn't even own a DLSR yet and she's merely trying to learn the technicalities in capturing photos but she definitely has an eye for angles and moments.
>>She's got a of some sort with pretty stuff and/or people.
>>She's into fencing and soccer, but she has asthma (although intermittent), so she's careful not to work herself out too much.
>>Musicians and artists.

dislikes.
>>Interruptions and disruptions.
>>Cold weather. Makes her want to sleep all day or may cause her to get sick and she can't afford to be just lying around.
>>Wasting time on waiting.
>>That time of the month. The duration of her dysmenorrhea episodes is hell. She is almost always bedridden during the half of her second days. There are times that she can't barely move or she has difficulty breathing.
>>Oppa. She always believed that it's an awkward word.
>>Combos like Cofee with milk or milk tea. She knows the two components cancel each other out; so, she drinks either but not simultaneously.

hobbies.
>>Origami.
>>Studying languages.
>>Reading philosophy and literature for fun.
>>Discovering indie bands or any nice but non-mainstream stuff.
>>Inventing small contraptions and/or gadgets.
>>Taking things apart and then re-assembling them.
 

  

habits.
>>Hanging out in random places to study - like an empty dressing room at the mall. She often changes study venues because she got used to the other kids bothering her so she usually studies somewhere where she can be alone with her books.
>>Word-vomitting. Tendency to explain more than she should, blurting out cheesy lines and puns, correcting people, and those "did you know that...?"  fun fact moments. Although at times she ends up cringing at herself as well. She can't help it.
>>Making an origami piece (usually an animal) before she studies for something major. She makes a study buddy. Before she starts she has to name it first.
>>Making random Top 10 lists when bored. For example, kid misconceptions: cottons are made from clouds; period blood is blue says the sanitary pad ad. 
>>Reciting lines from classics like Romeo and Juliet in the douchey-est way possible to annoy the crap out of people.
>>Brisk walking is her normal manner of walking.
>>Having pastry and tea before studying.
>>When she's seriously thinking about something, Fencing helps. But since sparring partners are a rare commodity, she resorts to playing with a soccer ball alone in the school field. 
>>Scratching her head and walking out of the room when thoroughly pissed.
>>Pulling a poker-face and then runs or walks away when she refuses to answer a question or when she doesn't know how to respond to a situation.
>>Creasing her forehead when she's asleep.

fears.
>>Cats. She once was bit by a cat, saw a cat being ran over by a car, saw a cat giving birth, had a nightmare that cats took over the world and they were as large as dinosaurs.
>>Acquiring airborne diseases. Inhaling second hand-smoke, being in a car with a person constantly sneezing or coughing. She doesn't react much when stuck in such situations, but inwardly, she's likely panicking.

trivia.
>>Unlike many nerds, she's not nearly blind from all the reading that she does. Yes, she wears prescription eyeglasses at times as she suffers a subtle case of astigmatism, but her nerd frame doesn't have such high a degree of correction/aid in it. She reads a lot  but she's sure that she takes proper care of her eyes.  They look like her dad's.
>>She has good taste in music, but is not exactly a muscian and is rather a lousy singer. She sings like a tone-deaf yet enthusiastic child but wears a poker-face while she's at it.
>>She has this unexplainable obssession with British boys and their accent.
>>Soojin is such a grammar nazi, that she corrects public signs: from advertisment tarpaulines to subway vandalisms. 
>>Probably resulting from her lack of interaction with the opposite , Soojin's bi-curious. She has a lot of secret girl crushes.
>>She's a light-sleeper and also a little bit nightmare-prone. 
>>She studies Mechanical Engineering. She has an Eagle scholarship (full tuition shcolarship until graduation) at Yonsei University.
>>She currently resides in a small apartment in Seoul near the uni. 
>>She uses her native Busan accent when she's angry; and British, when she's drunk.
>>""The girl is quite stupid; but so is the boy for liking the girl." Soojin's take on One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful.
>>"This one is nice, though." Soojin's take on One Direction's One Thing.  "But the boy is still stupid until he finds out what that One Thing is."
>>Seafood allergy.
>>She knows basic self-defense (Krav Maga).
>>She finds Niccolo Machiavelli's political philosophy very interesting.
>>Her hair when she studies at home.
>>Agnostic. Her family (mother's side) is falsely religious. They go to church every Sunday, only to gossip about neighbors the second they get out of the holy house. Soojin realized how ironic and wrong they were acting and therefore this lead her to cast her "vote" in religious views as "abstained" for the time being. 
>>She runs fast.
>>She has a very good memory which she sometimes can't appreciate because she tends to remember a lot of things that she doesn't even want to remember. She also tends to overthink a lot so her usual enemy is headache.

【saranghae, saranghae】

family.
father. Baek Seungho // 50 // Concert Producer // A kid at heart - he's the kind of man who would seem foolish because of his bold and risky youthful ideas, but he's in fact very competent and he always knows what's he's doing. He has a soft spot for women and he's very loving and sensitive, however, he won't let these sides of him show so easily. // Awkward. Like, he would oftentimes ask Soojin to hang out and then ask her the same questions of "How are you?" or "How's school?" and receives the same reply from her of, "Fine. Everything's great...d-dad." It's pretty routinal. And then, he does this awkward patting of the head. Basically, they hang out because they kinda have to, because...they're kinda father and daughter. Despite the awkward, though, Soojin secretly looks up to her father so much.
mother. Jung Sora // 44 // constantly shifting from one job to another; typically has 2-3 contractual jobs // She's childish, a bit naive, reckless, and is quite a sore loser. Nonetheless, she's charming, and also very caring and protective of her loved ones. // She acts like a normal mom to Soojin and she tries hard to be a good one. Soojin handles Sora's mishaps and shortcomings patiently and tries to be responsible beyond her years for the both of them.  
aunt. Jung Dahee // 46 // corporate lawyer and recently, also a textile entrepreneur // The still-single, yet sucessful and outspoken woman. She's pretty boastful about her achivements and she always makes sure that she shoves it in Sora's face. She is the second eldest daughter who is most isecure of Soojin's mother. // Despite the never-ending rivalry between Dahee and her mom, Soojin's aunt doesn't pick on her all the time and she somewhat developed a liking towards Soojin because of her exceptional mind (which Dahee claims Soojin had inherited from her). However, that is not to say that Dahee never points out the misfortunes in Soojin's life, especially the one about her non-existent romantic affairs. Dahee's kinda glad her niece's love life isn't any better than her own. 

friends.
friend. Kim Kibum // 22 // uni student; part-time Baek Soojin assassin (self-procliamed) // Also known as the Next Door, Key is sassy, sarcastic, narcissistic, arrogant but has these naive moments from which Soojin more often than not refuses to save him. // On normal days, Key always finds opportunities to mock Soojin and put her down comically in the most creative ways possible. Soojin grins and bears it (although the habit of grinning eventually died down and so it's mostlly the bearing part now) However, despite all this, Key always claims himself as Soojin's friend (if not assassin) as he actually knows her better than it seems. He actually admires her dedication towards her endeavors. However, as he sees that Soojin needs to be trusting herself more, he practices tough love - thus, his sarcastic remarks on Soojin's showcase of weakness. 
best friend. Park Sandara // 27 // currently on a job hunt // This quirky and charming girl always looks forward to the good things life has to offer. She's persistent with her goals as Soojin is, but Dara tends to be more happy-go-lucky than focused. She is just so cute that people often think Soojin and she are of the same age. // She's Soojin's childhood friend back in Busan. She taught Soojin to be more optimistic and resilient. She's the only one with whom Soojin can be completely honest.
friend. Kwon Boa // 27 // uni professor // Professor Kwon is a very beautiful lady who is a bit oblivious about that fact because of her dedication to her career. She is like an older version of Soojin, only more confident and normal and verbal about her single status bitterness. Boa can't stand injustice, she's approachable but kinda moody. Many men are intmidated by her perfection and intellectual capability. Boa is most insecure about her height. // She's the adviser of Soojin's block. Boa admires Soojin's intellectual prowess paired with her diligence and dedication. She believes in Soojin so much and she always helps her like a sister whenever she can.
 

enemy.
N/A because she doesn't have time to waste on petty fights and she's mature enough to not bear grudges against those who have wronged her in the past. She's also socially awkward and therefore doesn't have enough interactions with people to actually form a rivalry or quarrel with them.

Ok. Maybe, Key? :))))

scene requests?

>>The humanoid creates a period mixtape for Soojin in which Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love is the first track. 
>>Key is on a major Annoy Soojin day - he gives her an earful about her singing. The humanoid interjects in her defense asking Key, "Why are you bashing on her so hard? I bet she's not that bad..." Key smirks and retorts, "You haven't heard her sing, have you?" and just goes playing his precious blackmail material strategically stored in his phone to give the humanoid a listen. The humanoid eventually joins Key in his smitting endeavors after hearing the clip.
>>The humanoid, out of nowhere, picks up the guitar and sings either The Script's Science and Faith or Ed Sheeran's Little Things as Soojin studies.
>>Soojin and the humanoid act out a scene from Romeo and Juliet out of sheer boredom. Soojin insists she be Romeo, and the humanoid be Juliet.
>>The humanoid develops some sort of crush on Dara  for sometime >:)))
>>The humanoid learns what sarcasm is and fondly uses it all day which may or may not get him in trouble.
>>Humanoid asks Soojin out on a date all so suddenly. Perhaps at a wrong time; when there is something major at the uni that she'll have to refuse..

suggestions:

soojin's specs sheet/ qualities wishlist:

(I’m sorry if this is going to seem redundant, but this how Soojin would likely phrase her ideal humanoid.)

1.    Attractiveness that would shut my aunt up the second she sees it. A tall one, preferably – as tall almost always is attractive. A charming one which can make my aunt Dahee go, "My, my! I wish I had a son like you!" Not really looking for the Daniel Henney type of debonair - just one with boyish charms and er...a...pretty face. 
2.    One which speaks my language. One that will not stupidly space out whenever I talk comfortably. Preferably, one that is as weird as me.
3.    An amiable one which can make me feel at ease in its presence because I swear I'm really awkward all the time.
4.    One which is able to prove a point and defend people (Yes, people – need not be me, specifically) without engaging to any violent acts. 
5.    One which is into the field of medicine. I can be its robot doctor; it can be my human nurse/nutritionist. Whenever I neglect myself, it should be persuasive enough to convince to be more healthy.
6.     A quirky and interesting individual which can be my energizer whenever I'm too tired to work or study.
7.    An imperfection.

backstory and whatnot

• Soojin’s humanoid is one of the first units built by the robotic engineer. That humanoid is kind of special and has greater sentimental value compared to others, because the engineer built him originally as his experimental robot friend. (So, Soojin’s humanoid is naturally friendly.)
• His system wasn’t really adjusted -  his features were just improved. Like, they didn’t take out his friendly function or completely reset him and just added stuff like potential lover functions. The engineer liked him as he is.
• He has a structural framework glitch. For this reason, he isn’t advised to be utilized in combat or any such activity that would cause him to  be damaged seriously—or even worse—beyond repair. This works for Soojin because she particularly listed off that she would like a boy who doesn’t resort to violence to protect people.
• He is a bit cheaper than the newer models. This works for Soojin as well because the family situation was quite urgent and she didn’t happen to have much savings for a sudden purchase.
• It’s not to say that this humanoid experiences constant “symptoms” or mishaps, though. He’s well-functioning; he just a little bit frail physically; but his “brain” is exceptionally sharp compared to other humanoids.
• Soojin’s humanoid has been activated for the longest time—earning him more experience and knowledge about the world. In fact, the humanoid himself examined and studied Soojin’s profile and specifications sheet, instead of having the engineers automatically install the info in him.
• Also, for the reason of being one of the oldest, he has a close relationship with all the other humanoids, especially in his line (EXO). He tends to get excited and be welcoming to “newborns”.
• How Soojin introduces the humanoid to her family: "Well, everyone, this here is [insert his name] . He's the one."
  That answer has been  deliberately planned, all the possible questions thought of and answered in the most truthful way possible. He is the one because she has been talking about bringing someone to the reunion. She didn't say 'boyfriend' or 'friend', but 'the one'. 
• Soojin is studying mechanical engineering, so she’s really fascinated about him. She finds him really pretty and precious so she tends to be protective of him. But she really just sees him as mere equipment (no matter how terrifyingly human he could be sometimes) and it’s what she’d like to keep seeing him as because she thinks she’d look and feel even more pathetic about herself if she develops attachment to or have romantic feelings for a robot.
• The humanoid might "feel" a bit useless or frustrated in some respect because of his glitch. /shrugs
   

I'm sorry the app's too long :(  I have a difficulty writing concisely. I haven't been writing seriously for a while either, so please forgive my mishaps. Thank you for being so accommodating. I hope I get really lucky to have the privilege of you writing for me again :)

/edit And wow. I honestly didn't intend to, but I think I might have unconsciously used Absolute Chanyeol as reference. Oh well.
