THEY CALL ME MANNEQUIN » You'd often find Jinhae clad in white or pastel, light color. She is not a big fan of dark shades and she does not wear a lot of patterned clothes either. Jinhae also prefers jeans and trousers over skirts and dresses, because she feels more comfortable in them. Her style is basically quite simple, yet it has this hint of cute and elegant appearance. She is feminine, though she is not one to burden herself with useless accessories. A bag is sufficient enough. Her conception of fashion? The simplest, the better. To her, there's no need to encumber yourself just for a visual effect.
 
Jinhae does not wear glasses, nor does she have any piercing. In fact, she is quite disgusted by the very concept of piercing holes through one's skin. However, she has a little tattoo just on the inner side of her mindle finger, embodying her brothers' initials (KMT, standing for Kim Minhyung Taehyung).

WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF YOU
 
CHARACTER TRAITS » True, Confident, Sensitive, Relentless, Dependent
    True » Jinhae is a person of great integrity. She makes it a point to stay true to herself despite the situations and to be herself no matter what it takes. She thinks that there is no point in being appreciated or admired for what you are not and that building up a façade is just another way for people of escaping from their fears. Honest and straghtforward, the girl can barely fake anything and she has a tendency to truthfully speak her mind. However, she is careful of others' feelings and always take care not to put them down. She believes that there is a happy medium and that people should behave in consequences before it's too late. Lying is bad, extremely bad, but that does not mean that they do not have not to take people's emotions into consideration.
   Confident » Without overflowing with too much confidence and ego, Jinhae is still a self-assured girl. She believes that everyone is unique and that people have all their own qualities. Everyone has to be confident and acknowledge their own true value if they want to be appreciated by others. But then again, she does not think that what others may think should have an importance. Jinhae is who she is and she is perfectly fine with it. 
    Sensitive » Because she wears her heart upon her sleeve, it is easy to hurt Jinhae's feelings. She is the kind of person who gives her entire self to people she gets attached too, whether those people return her love, knidness, admiration and dedication or not. Even when she does understand that people cannot be forced to do things they do not want to do, she still finds herself being hurt whenever her feelings are not being returned. One-sided things are always difficult to bear, and Jinhae is no exception. As much as she tries to put things into perspective, she cannot help but feel pained because it has always been like that. In most of her relationships, in the end, she realized that she was the one putting in all the efforts while the other party did not really care. Being so dedicated to someone when this person is too lazy to make you happy, it hurts. It really does. Moreover, Jinhae being the sweety she is, it is very easy to break her. Caring and kind, and growing up with a protective and dedicated brother by her side whom she has witnessed his hard times and submissive actions, she has always been prone to helping others and putting herself on the line just to please others first. Her brother taught her manners and values that she still does not want to let go and that she is willing to hold onto even if it means that she will end up being hurt. Though she sometimes gets tired of trying too much only to be the one aching in the end, she refuses to drop her principles.
    Relentless » And this is one more thing you should remember about this girl. Kim Jinhae is persistent and she knows better than to give up on something she really cares about. She is ready to make all the needed sacrifices to get what she really desires and that is one of her traits that her brother likes the most about her. Jinhae never gives up. She will work hard until she is satisfied with the result she gets and she will take matters in hands herself to be sure that in the end she has no regrets. 
    Dependent » Even though Jinhae is a freedom-lover and always needs time to be alone to process things and get a hold on what is going on in her life, she happens to be a very dependent girl. Growing up with her brother always by her side and always watching over her, she needs to be accompanied and can't seem to bear loneliness. Of course, everyone needs some time on their own but as for Jinhae, it is only if she really, as in really feels like it. Most of the time, isolating herself from others happens when something's going on, when she's uspet or when she's losing control over what's happening . But generally, she is the kind of girl who needs to be surrounded by others and feel their warmness. Dependent does not mean that she is not capable of doing anything on her own; it just means that she needs to feel that people are there. That she can count on them when she feels the need to. 
Jinhae gets attached to people extremely easily and this is why she needs to know that they'd be there for her no matter what, as much as she's willing to sacrifice everything she has just for their own good. This trait may be related to her sensitive nature, as a cause or a consequence. And this is also why Jinhae never lets go of Hansol, she wants to know if he really does not care about her.
 
BACKGROUND » Kim Jinhae was born and raised in Yaksok, in a loving family composed of two caring parents and a protective older brother. She has never known anything else than life at Yaksok. She grew up to become an optimist and hard-working girl who is ready to do whatever it takes to reach her goals. As she turned into the pretty lady she is now, her parents were not often present, but she never knew what loneliness means since she always had her two brothers by her side. When she was 3, indeed, Jinhae's family welcomed another boy. The three siblings always supported each other when their parents were working until late in the evening and Taehyung was always the one to take care of the two younger kids. Jinhae is extremely thankful for that and maybe this is all the reason why the Kim children are so close to one another now. At one point, Jinhae used to suffer from the lack of parents' presence, but she understood that they did not do it on purpose. If she had the opportunity to make some changes in her life, she would not change anything. She believes that life is the way it is because it has to. Moreover, she cannot really complain about anything. 
Because she has always had a place to come back to knowing that there would be loved ones waiting for her with open arms, Jinhae is who she is now. Her integrity was made up by this feeling of security she had when she was home with her two brothers. Thanks to that, she was able to confront the world without the fear of being herself. 
 
LIFESTYLE » Jinhae lives with her two brothers and her parents, though the latters are often taken with work in a little, peaceful street running parralel to Yaksok's main avenue. Jinhae goes to Yaksok's High School just like every other teenager where she is a rather good student. Jinhae also likes meeting her friends at their usual  hang-out, a little coffee situated in the corner of a generally busy street. She is often seen strolling in Yaksok's mall, doing window-shopping and likes taking a walk in Yaksok's numerous parks before going home. Most of the time though, you would find her slouched iin the back shop of the bakery Taehyung works at, sometimes alone, sometimes with a few friends as Taehyung is allowed to bring a few people to the shop. Otherwise, Jinhae practices swimming and basket-ball as a hobby and she loves photographying people, landscape and everyday life's situations.

BECAUSE OF YOU
 
FAMILY » 
      BROTHER » Kim Taehyung // 19 // University Student/ Part-timer in Yaksok's famous bakery // Their relationship is nothing near other siblings'. They are especially close and Taehyung is always ready to sit and hear his sister out. In fact, he does not even have to hear her out, for most of the time he knows when something is bothering her or making her happy and sometimes he can even figure out the reason. Jinhae's happiness, health and whatnot, he never fails to check if everything is alright. He knows his sister's weak points and also knows what to do or say to keep her going. His sister is like his little baby and he does not seem ready to let her go already. He's afraid she'd get hurt, as she already had been. But he still will stand by her no matter what her choices are and will suppor her. Nickname : Hyungie Oppa (형이 오빠) // 5
         

       BROTHER » Kim Minhyung // 14 // Middle School Student // As much as Kim Minhyung is sly and mischievious, he still is Jinhae's precious younger brother and they are almost as close as Jinhae and Taehyung are. He is the one who often throws cutting remarks just to make his sister mad, but he is also the one who would worry the most for her. Though he does not show it in front of his noona, Taehyung could tell you that this boy is a sweetie who easily freaks out. Jinhae wholeheartedly helps him out in everything he needs help for and is glad to reproduce for her younger brother what Taehyung used to and still do for her. Nickname : Baby Hyung (형 애기) // 4
             
 
FRIENDS » 
       BEST FRIEND » Kim Hanbin // 17 // High School Student // In Jinhae's eyes, there is no friend quite like Kim Hanbin. Hanbin is the serious and hardworking smart- who turns out to be as dorky as a human being could possibly be. He has the weirdest ideas ever and sometimes it just seems likes he lives in his own little world, which happens to endear Jinhae a lot and also amuses her. He likes cracking jokes just to hear Jinhae's laughter because he finds it really cute and he does not like seeing his bestie pained or gloomy. Ever since they met when he moved in at the age of 12, the two have been inseparable. They often tease each other and bicker, only to be glued to one another the next minute. Even if they seriously quarrel, which rarely happens, they can't stay mad at each other for too long. They understand each other in a glance and are even synchronized in their reactions and words. For instance, they will react the same way to the same thing or say the same thing and oftentimes they do it at the same time. It is actually pretty frightening. Taehyung often says, "If I was not Jinhae's sibling (and if it wasn't for Hanbin's dorky overflowing cheerfulness), I could actually believe that you two are hidden twins". This only sentence sums up really well their relationship. Nicknames : Kimbin (김빈), Twin (/쌍둥이) // 4 

            
 
      CLASSMATE » Park Chohee // 17 // High School Student // Chohee is Jinhae's classmate and she is also one of the best girl friends Jinhae has. Her joyful yet calm nature often helps Jinhae to steady (and Hanbin too, by the way). Though Chohee is the kind of girl who loves laughing, when those two have too much energy for her to handle, she'll just sit by them and do something on her own while listening to them. Since Chohee is Jinhae's closest classmate, they often chat and learn about each other's life. Chohee often happens to help Jinhae when she has a problem too - a problem Jinhae can't ask help for to her brother or Hanbin. // 3  
         

PLOTLINE CONNECTIONS » 
       YAKSOK'S UNFORESEEN HOPE » Jinhae really admires the hopeful nature of this girl. Even though she perfectly knows that sometimes, she gets maybe a little too high hopes, she finds it amazing how she just never lets go of her thoughts and ideas and how she is ready to fight to make people see. This trait of her always keeps Jinhae going with a smile on her face no matter how much she has been hurt and it gives her the strength not to give up when she feels that she should just drop everything. They hang out a lot together outside of school and they always support each other through hard times. Yaksok's unforeseen hope has always been a comfortable shoulder to cry on for Jinhae. // 4
      YAKSOK'S FATALLY ATTRACTED » Jinhae absolutely loves the girl's personality. Her hardwork, her honesty, everything about this girl is precious in her eyes and she feels at her comfort zone whenever she is around. They often hang out together when they have time for themselves and Jinhae definitely likes spending time with this girl. Yaksok's fatally attracted is one of the rare people who has never hurt Jinhae in any way, hence the trust the latter has in her. // 3 
 
 

YAKSOK'S OBSTINATELY INDIFFERENT

 
NAME » Choi Hansol 
NICKNAMES » 
  • Hanie (한이) - Hanie is the nickname Jinhae made up for Hansol when they were younger, because she had a hard time pronouncing his name and then he always scolded her for that. However, Hansol does not like it because it sounds feminine and he always urges the girl to drop that stupid nickname.
  • ​Mr. Killjoy (재미없는 사람) -  When Hansol never stopped complaining about her calling him Hanie, Jinhae just came up with yet another sarcastic nickname aka Mr. Killjoy. She uses this one only to piss him off a little because well, he's y when he's mad. But this isn't necessarily a pejorative name because he's her Mr. Killjoy and she's ready to be the saddest girl on Earth if it's the condition to stand by him.
BIRTHDATE » February 18th, 1998.
 
PERSONALITY TRAITS » Careless, Selfish, Overconfident, Nonchalant, Determined, 
 
HOW DID YOU MEET/MET » Choi Hansol is Kim Jinhae's childhood crush. When he left for the USA at 7, he did not keep in touch at all with Jinhae, but this is not as if he cared anyway. They were too young for this kind of things. But Jinhae never forgot him and she grew up with the hope to see him again one day. After all, a first crush is always important in a girl's heart. Hansol and Jinhae were classmates back when they were in elementary school and Hansol's seat used to be next to Jinhae's.
 

INTERACTION » Jinhae has always had a thing for Hansol. As a little girl, she used to have a crush on him as they attended the same school, often were in the same class and even usually were sitting next to each other. But he only had eyes for their classmate, Jinhae cannot even remember her name.

Hansol is back in town and Jinhae finds herself being overwhelmed with joy and expectation. She is happy her old friend and first crush just came back. She is always around, always inviting him out or to do something with her and her friends. But it seems likes he's never available when she suggests things. He has shown her more than once that he did not want to and he keeps on pushing her away. But he does not even know what to do now to tell her that he is not interested. While Jinhae keeps holding onto their relationship, he just does not give a care about what can possibly happen to it. He keeps ignoring her feelings and hurting her without even noticing what his actions do to her. Things cannot seem to get better though when he meets Jinhae's older brother and happens to find the boy extremely nice and fun to be with. He likes Jinhae's brother's company and Jinhae is trying to get that to her advantage. But in the end, Hansol ends up rejecting her quite harshly and at some point she decides that it is time for her to stop being so desperate and clingy and to move on. Though she does not want to lose a friend, she's ready to let her crush go and so changes her behaviour around him.

However, as Hansol spends more time around Jinhae and the girl does not harrass him as much as she used to, he slowly has a change of mind. His heart feels soothed whenever she is there and he cannot seem to bear her being surrounded by other boys. But she ignores his feelings and he realizes what he has done to her all this time and he will try to make up.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME

 
SCENE REQUESTS » 
Well, first things first, I'd like to see the scene when Jinhae hears about Hansol's return in town from one of her old friends and when she sees him again after all this time.

Hansol discovering Jinhae's tattoo and being surprised because he did not think that she was the kind of girl who would get herself tattooed. He asks for the signification of her tattoo and she then explains him how she has lived before, how she still lives and why her brothers are so precious to her. Hansol finds it quite admirable.
 
Jinhae tries to bbuing bbuing Hansol to get him to do what she wants but this does not seem to work out with this boy.

Next, Jinhae and Hanbin quarelled over something not really so significant but they end up really mad. Jinhae is devastated due to this argument and somehow Hansol does not like the fact that she is so screwed up because of another guy. As weird as it may seem, he actually finds himself being jealous and he decides to act in consequences.

Maybe Hansol finding Jinhae's journal? It could be fun and all. And it can help him realize what he's really doing to her.

 
Jinhae drags Hansol out for some shopping and when she happens to try on several dresses, he happens to be amazed. Yet, he does not let her buy even one because he does not want other guys to look at her and see how feminine and beautiful she looks in a dress - even though she is feminine even clad in a pair of trousers. He just does not want her to expose skin even if they are not even together.
