ELABORATION —

• even though she's a troublemaker, she's actually super intelligent. i mean, how does she get herself out of going into detention after pulling a prank on a student, huh? besides getting herself out of trouble, she is also someone who would ace almost every test despite being a new student. chouko is also someone who is immensely friendly and would befriend each and every person she would cross paths with (even teachers so they don't put her into detention for doing something stupid). growing up, she was always that kid who had a cute/childish side to them along with being funny. her aim was to please everyone since she always says she couldn't please her parents. but it was never to late for her to please those that stayed with her to the best of her abilities.

• chouko didn't become a troubled kid until she moved to korea when she was ten. who changed her, you might ask? well, a certain neighbor did. that neighbor was known for being a rebel in the neighborhood, but chouko thought he was being 'cool'. so, she followed in his footsteps. since then she was always rebellious/troublesome, causing trouble left and right in her neighborhood and even in school. her mother was worried over this sudden change, even thinking about moving to another place in seoul, but then she realized that the two grew fond of each other. so,, they stayed in busan. seeing her mother only for a few hours in a day, chouko would blame herself for everything. it all started with her seperation from her father all the way up to her mother's personality change. for someone who causes trouble, she actually has a heart for her parents. however, chouko is someone who gets easily bored. it's not that she doesn't do anything fun, it's that she basically did everything she could. the only thng she doesn't get bored of is skating and eating; that's basically it. but the ironic thing is with her being an ice skater is that she's actually a klutz. she doesn't know how she got into ice skating despite her many incidents of dropping something or tripping on air, but she succeeded in skating. she also succeeded in dancing since, unlike most clumsy people, she doesn't have two left feet.

BACKGROUND + CURRENT EVENTS —

• hamasaki chouko. born december twenty-four, nineteen ninety seven in miyazaki, japan; a place known for surfing, golf, tennis, parks, and concerts. living there was the peak of her her life. she enjoyed it there. she played tennis, even though she was at it; she played golf, again she was at that too. what she wasn't bad in was taekwondo, but that's only because her father was a parttime taekwondo teacher. all in all, she felt free and herself with her friends back home. however, a family problem arose that chouko didn't know of. because of her parents' indifferences, they decided to file for a divorce. but chouko was too young to understand what a 'divorce' was since she was only about eight years old. like, what can you understand about feuding parents when you're only eight? once chouko had turn ten, that was when her mother claimed full custody over her and decided to move back to the place she always said she belonged in— korea.
 

mother: we're going to korea, chouko
chouko: what about dad?
mother: he... has to sort out his life
chouko: ... okay.
 

• now living in busan in a small house in a small neighborhood, chouko had noticed a difference in her mother. her mother wasn't the always smiling, always cheerful person she grew up with. at nights, she could hear weeping from her mother's room. in the morning, her mother would be gone to find a job and come back only to cook for chouko. she always grew up thinking that she was at fault for their parents' constant arguing back in japan and now... she thinks she's at fault for her mother's sudden change. back then, she would depend on her neighbor and friend, jimin, to get her back on her feet. of course jimin was a troublemaker back then, only making chouko one too. but this troublemaker had a sweet heart. at the age of eleven, jimin brought her to an ice skating rink. why? because chouko had seen kim yuna ice skating and said "damn. she's got skills and is elegant af. i wanna do that." from then on, chouko was always at the ice rink after school to relieve her heavy shoulders into skating. she was there so often, the owner offered her a parttime job at thirteen of cleaning up the place. in addition, the owner let her skate for free, only increasing her love for skating and also increasing her mood.

 

chouko: wait are you serious? i'm only thirteen. is this legal??
owner: you're always here. and i feel like you need money... so...
chouko: OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU SENPAI - I MEAN, JUST THANK YOU!
owner: ... okay? you start tomorrow.

 

• when she started working at the rink, that was when jimin had gone to seoul to pursue a career in the enertainment industry. even though they would see each other when jimin was done (and drained) from training and would text often, they rarely talked. jimin was busy with his own career and chouko was busy at the ice rink after school. but, you know that saying of when two people are meant for each other, no distance is too far? or something cheesy like that? well, fate wanted to say 'hi' by giving hamasaki mama a job in seoul as a restaurant owner. that's when chouko began to get intrigued over what jimin does when he's not being her neighbor.

 

chouko: hold tf up, ma wha -
mother: i got a job in seoul. i heard you talking to jimin about being an idol or something so -
chouko: *yells* WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR ALL THAT
mother: have faith in me

 

• ever since her mom had enough money to own her own restaurant and buy an apartment nearby, chouko had quit her job at the rink to audition for companies in her area. the upside of all of this is that her mother was slowly turning into her normal self (even though she still blames her rebel for everything). the downside is that she actually didn't know what company jimin was in since he never told her. heck, he doesn't even know that she moved to seoul since that little nugget didn't look at his text. either way, she auditioned for a small company called big hit since they were holding auditions a month after she moved. to her luck, she was accepted with her skating skills she changed into an actual dance. the following month she started school in seoul of performing arts, there meeting jungkook, and little did he know that he was sitting beside one of his good friend's childhood crush FRIEND.

 

jungkook: ??? you're in big hit ???
chouko: yeah, i mean. i kinda followed in one of my friend's footsteps just to see its worth
jungkook: ??? who's your friend ???
chouko: park jimin. haven't seen him in over a year. i guess he's bus -
jungkook: ?!? PARK JIMIN ?!? MY BRO!11

 

RELATIONSHIPS —

• mama, #1 jiko (jiminxchouko) shipper.. literally - 박슬기, park seulgi (45/46 in korea) - restaurant owner - affectionate, loving, supportive - being a single parent of a troublemaker gives her such a headache, but she's learned to live with it. when chouko goes home to her mother's cooking after a long day at either school or that trainee life, they always talk about their day and if they're doing alright. however, her mother isn't afraid of even asking about her relationship with their previous neighbor, jimin. she's one of those mothers who likes to tease their kids about their love life, but chouko's mother takes it to a whole other level.
 

seulgi: so, when are you and jimin getting married?
chouko: mom..
seulgi: i'd like a grandson and a granddaughter
chouko: *physically chokes* mOM WHY

 

• classmate, the haku to her chihiro - 전정국, jeon jungkook (18/19 in korea) - idol, bts - caring, humorous, goofy, full-on meme - it's complete and utter chaos when these two are together. even though chouko isn't considered the maknae, though she does label herself as troubled, her and jungkook get along fairly well. yes, they're classmate and, yes, they're both from busan, so it's a must to be friends since they have to see each other's faces practically everyday. however, once they both graduated, they parted ways but they contact each other often to either chill or just spam each other with memes of some sort. the haku to her chihiro, jungkook and chouko tend to spend the most time together and he always looks after her, be it from afar or upclose.
