describe your mark : Jaehyuk's mark is the Chinese word '心', meaning heart. It is located on
the left side of his neck, so it just peeps out when he wears a t-shirt.

character traits : Flirty, Outgoing, Well-mannered (A gentleman), Humourous, Dependent (needy), Irresponsible, Skeptical (in denial)
personality : Jaehyuk's personality is the exact definition of a playboy. He is kind to all women and is always a gentlemen to them (even while breaking their hearts). He is very welcoming and friendly though sometimes he takes it a little too far, as he's often touchy-feely. He always tries to make his friends laugh and is most happy when they give him attention.
This playboy persona, however, is just a facade he keeps in order to keep his true feelings hidden. Although surrounded by many friends and the company of different girls, he is lonely. He depends on the love of others to fill the void that his parents' love was meant to be. He is irresponsible with the way he plays around with others feelings. He is also in denial that he isn't actually interested in girls (hence always playing around with their feelings). 
Jaehyuk is skeptical when it comes to his ual preferences and is really unsure about who he is as a person. He grew up thinking that being 'straight' was the norm; being surrounded by a homophobic family and closed-minded classmates in middle school through to high school. Although he had rarely had thoughts about other guys, whenever he did, he would just brush it off as though he was just going insane (he began to have more thoughts when he got to know his soul mate). He only wished to fit in with everyone else - and one of the ways he had done so was by dating girls (to prove that he was 'normal'); an added benefit to him through fulfilling his need to gain others love. Whenever he tried to have a romantic relationship with another girl, he could not even fabricate a bond with them. He is wary of being too close to other guys (hence he has females as his BFFs) as he is scared that he may release his 'inappropriate' inner desires (Minseok and Jongdae are different as he met them prior to any of those thoughts and thinks of them as nothing but good friends). 

background : Jaehyuk is a thoroughbred city boy and has never really taken a step outside of Seoul (As his parents never had the time to take him on any family trips). His childhood is a blur to him but the pain and loneliness that his parents inflicted on him is not. As his parents were hardly at home, he spent most of his time trying to become a 'perfect son' for them. He did his best in his studies, both in elementary school and even more so in middle school. He also did his best to grab their attention by helping out at home - though he made more of a mess when he was younger (Jaehyuk did grab their attention but the adverse effect took place and he got scolded more than getting praised).
Everything he has done up to now has been to please his parents, and to make them notice him. It was only in the first year of high school when a girl confessed to him did he find an alternative to satisfying his loneliness. Instead of making himself being the victim of pain, he decided to become the criminal. He needs love from those around him and will literally break-down without it.
The reason why he did not come to this solution earlier was because he had his friends. Only the ones closest to him really know him and the reason for his actions (though they may not approve(Sarang, Leibe and Minseok)) - otherwise he puts on his flirty/playboy guise on to protect himself. The love from his friends wasn't enough to satisfy him, that's why he was drawn to the idea of hurting others. 

He was never open to the option of men as he only thought to break the hearts of women. However, as time past, he realised that no matter how many women he had been with, they never really satisfied his loneliness. 

lifestyle : Jaehyuk currently lives with friends (Minseok and/or Jongdae) in an apartment, as his parents' home reminded him too much of his bitter past - he doesn't always come home as he sometimes spends the night with other girls. He lives(ed) off blogging as a popular ulzzang (he has been doing this since his 2nd year of high school - people often told him he was good looking so he did it for fun + more attention). He modelled for Stardom Magazine a once (in those fashion pages) since they did not have a replacement for a male model who was sick at the time (one of his friends that work there recommended him). Since then, he has been called in to do a few more modelling jobs and has also gotten a few opportunities with other photoshoots (he is however, still a minor model in the industry - meaning he can still go around without that many people knowing him).
You will often see him out taking photos for his blog (at restaurants, landmarks, etc.) in the day and in the midst nightlife of Seoul, scouting the clubs for potential lovers at night. He will always make time for his friends to catch up on the latest gossip (his friends are always the most important to him than any girl that he has been with. He has not gone back to visit his parents since the day he left.

trivia : 
- Positive comments on his blog - they usually make his day (he also gets negative comments alongside the good)
- He loves skinship - though he is afraid to initiate skinship with his soul mate (prior to him admitting his love for him)
- He enjoys photography 
- He loves attention - hence the blog
- He often goes out to the the club to meet new girls during the night
- He likes going out to eat with his friends during the day
- He hates having to deal with heartbroken girls - though he feels comforted by hurting others (putting his pain onto others)

family : 
     father : Kim Jaehoon | 51 | photographer | Confident, Ambitious, Irresponsible  | Jaehoon hates responsibility more than anything. When he found out Sayeon was pregnant, he felt as though his whole world was coming to an end. He, similarly to Sayeon, wished to chase his dreams of becoming a well-known photographer in South Korea. Although he came home every night, unlike his wife (who came home once every week), he never really interacted with his son. 
     
mother : Lee Sayeon | 41 | model | Selfish, Persistant, Dependent | She had Jaehyuk at the age of eighteen; a time when she was not ready to be a mother. She wanted to chase her dreams more than anything - including watching her son grow up, hence always leaving Jaehyuk home alone. She doesn't really know anything about her own son. 
     
neighbour + her family : Park Ahyoung | 30 | teacher | Selfless, Honest, Postive | Ahyoung was like the mother that Jaehyuk never had. They lived right next-door to each other and she always helped him out when his parents did not come home(bringing him food and company, etc.). She moved away when she got into University. Jaehyuk has always been grateful to her since. Her family also accepted him as their own son. [Not really an important character but she basically looked after him when he was younger.]

friends : 
     we're just friends...maybeChoi Minho | 22 | stylist at Stardom Magazine | charismatic, flirty, confident | Jaehyuk met Minho when he went to Stardom magazine to fill in as a substitute model. Minho was his stylist and at their first meeting, he was just a little close for comfort. He has grown used to his antics though they have no romantic feelings for each other. He was the guy who made Jaehyuk first realise the option of dating men.

others : 
     first love : Kwon Yuri | 22 | journalist at Stardom Magazine | Bubbly, Outgoing, Imaginative, Innocent | Yuri was his first and longest lasting girlfriend (2 months). She always felt as though she was the only one who was in the relationship but she still hasn't completely gotten over him. They didn't really break up but just stopped seeing each other naturally (too busy with exams, etc.). He starting seeing other people soon after her as he never really felt anything for her. 
     
on+off girlfriend : Im Jinah (Nana) | 23 | blogger/ulzzang | ambitious, dependent (clingy), flirty | Jinah had a similar past to Jaehyuk - they both had a lonely past and depend on each other when the loneliness becomes too much for them. Although they say there's no feelings between them, that's impossible with the amount of intimacy between them.

the main group : rank how close you are with each of the others in the main group of friends; 1 is the closest, 8 is the least; cross out your character
     L'amour : [5]
     
Ài : [7]
     
Amare : [X]
     
Leibe : [2]
     
Amor : [8]
     
Sarang : [1]
     
Jongdae : [4]
     
Minseok : [3]
     
Yixing : [6]

love interest : Zhang Yixing
     personality : Yixing is strange; the way he talks and his overall presence in the group. No one ever knows what's going through his mind, particularly with his blank expressions that paint his face the majority of the time and his occasional smiles which show his dimples to show he's listening. He doesn't talk that often, but when he does, he blabbers on. He's usually the passive type when they're hanging out with their friends but when it comes to something he wants, he will charge at it with full power. He will not give up on anything once he sets his mind on it.
     
how you met : Yixing and Jaehyuk met in their first year of high school. As Jaehyuk was in a different class to the others, they introduced him to Jaehyuk during their lunch break. You may ask why they didn't know they were soulmates earlier - the reason being because their uniform hid their mark. They also hardly saw each other outside of school, or if they did, they were probably in uniform once again. 
     
relationship : Yixing the only person Jaehyuk is awkward with. Once Jaehyuk found out that Yixing was his soulmate, they started spending more time together, but the more time they spent, the more he was doubting himself. He attempted to act normal - though it only made things more awkward (he was in denial). Jaehyuk tried to avoid him at all costs to surpress his feelings, though after months of the same pattern of ignorance, Yixing couldn't hold in his built up anger anymore. Yixing is the one who took the initiative to start their relationship, although he's the 'weird guy' and Jaehyuk is the flirty one. 
     
future together : Long before Jaehyuk admits that he was in denial, he had already fallen too deeply in love with Yixing (he could not stop/deny his strong feelings); the way he kept trying to bring the two of them together - Yixing's tough side. Yixing basically wears the pants in their relationship.  
As mentioned above, Yixing was the one who took the initiative to start their relationship.
Although they are soulmates they are not easily accepted into the world, after all, Korea and 'gay' people. Not all fairytales end with happy ending, and theirs certainly did not.(I would like to leave this up to you~)
     
trivia :
- When Jaehyuk tries to avoid Yixing, Yixing tries to make it ten times harder for him to avoid him the next time (it was fun for him the first few times)
- Yixing is panual (attracted to people regardless of gender)
- Yixing is slightly scary when it comes to what he wants - he freaking hated the time that Jaehyuk was in denial
- Yixing's family does not approve of their relationship at all
- They often don't use words to communicate, just each other's company is enough
- When he saw Yixing's mark matched his, his heart raced faster instead of his heart dropping
- He never really noticed Yixing until this moment (hence they weren't that close to begin with. Yixing would observe everyone though - he saw their mark match first
- Yixing loves making Jaehyuk embarassed - eg. kissing his mark
- Yuri meets Jaehyuk one day at Stardom - she expresses her remaining feelings for him.

questions & comments : I used Lay, a less preferred character for Amare but I hope you like the way I presented their relationship! I don't mind if you change his interest to Tao if Lay is already taken for another character you choose. I would consider Jaehyuk's ual preference to be Gray-aual. I'd be happy to change anything you're not happy with! 

scene requests : 
     you can't avoid me : Yixing and Jaehyuk have gotten to know each other very well through the past few months but why? Why did Jaehyuk begin ignoring him? Yixing texted him and called him on multiple occasions but all these attempts were to no avail. Was it because of that time that he confessed his attraction toward him?
But why would he start ignoring him because of that? It was clear that Jaehyuk wanted him as much as he did to him. This fact only made him more annoyed. He made it his goal to find him and make him his. He went to find him at his apartment with the other boys and convinced Jaehyuk to at least, talk to him. Yixing was failing to talk sense into him and instead used action, kissing his mark and then his lips. Jaehyuk belonged to Yixing and no one else.
