However, when you were as poor as they were, contraception didn’t come easy. Nor did the ability to have an abortion (especially as it was illegal at the time). In late July, Ye-Won realised that she was late for her period but thought nothing of it. It wasn’t until October did she decide to go and see a doctor. She was gaining weight and was still yet to have her period. And it seemed that the main reason for it all was that she was, in fact, six months pregnant. Song-Ki and Ye-Won were both shocked to find that they were expecting a child within three months. Both of them didn’t have any family who could help them out and were freaking out that they wouldn’t have everything they needed for their child’s arrival. Luckily, the people of Moon Village came together and donated anything and everything that they could for the arrival of the new baby.
And then on Christmas Eve, their son was brought into the world.
As it was the village people who helped to prepare their house for their child, they asked them for a name to give him. They asked the village fortune teller and she announced that their son’s name would be Sun-Woo – coming from the Hanja characteristics that represented “to give, to bestow” as he would provide warmth and happiness to others. Because of this, his nickname, Sunny (or Sonny), was born. Sunny was a blessing to the village and known as the “village’s child”; each family that lived in their area knew about him, and all came to give their blessings on New Year's day.
While the village saw Sunny as a blessing, Ye-Won continued to see her son as a burden. So much so that she developed postnatal depression. Song-Ki would often come home to find their son screaming his lungs out and Ye-Won ignoring him. He would also come home to discover Sunny hadn’t been changed during the day or even fed. The final straw was when he came home to find Sunny – at four months old – lying on the floor, naked, all by himself and crying. Ye-Won was nowhere to be found. She eventually returned home and told her husband that she needed to go and get her hair done by the volunteers.
Song-Ki pleaded with his wife to go and see a doctor; they went together and eventually, managed to convince her to get onto medication. It was two weeks into her medication, and Ye-Won still felt the same. Song-Ki came home from work that night to find his son, once again, lying on the floor and screaming his lungs out. When he went to search for his wife, he found her in the backyard – hanging from a tree with a rope wrapped around her neck.
As he helped the other grandmother’s out, this meant he helped them out when the volunteers would come to their village. Even though he lived in the village, he took time to help the volunteers also. And this was how he met Kang Mi-Rae and her mother. Well, Mi-Rae practically saved him one day. He had been running away from some of the local bullies who had been throwing rocks at him again. She stood before them and told them to leave him alone – and for some reason, these boys were petrified of Mi-Rae despite their obvious height and age differences.
From that day forward, Mi-Rae became Sunny’s best friend.
Whenever she came with her mother during the volunteer days, Sunny would be by her side for the full day. Never had he ever met someone his age who was so willing to be his friend. All the children at school looked down at him because he was poor and lived in Moon Village – but not Mi-Rae. She didn’t seem to care at all. And over the coming months and years, their friendship began to grow stronger to the point where all Sunny wanted to do was be with Mi-Rae. Because… well… she was his first love.
So, instead of spending his time with the village grandparents after school and on weekends, Sunny began to spend more time having fun with Mi-Rae and actually being a child. He loved going over to her house and especially loved spending time with Mi-Rae’s mother. She always provided them with something to eat, and she would help him sew any clothes he may have had that needed fixing. She even helped him with his homework when things were just too difficult. Mi-Rae’s house was so big and beautiful compared to his own place – she even had a television which he never had the opportunity to have!
One night, while he was having dinner at Mi-Rae’s place, there was a knock on the door. Mi-Rae’s mother went to open the door and whoever was there sounded very angry. Sunny couldn’t pick up exactly what was being said but could catch small sentences about ‘giving him new shoes’ and ‘he’s not another charity case’. After a heated exchange, Song-Ki entered the room and made his way over to his son. Without saying a word, he took hold of Sunny’s wrist and pulled him out of the house. It wasn’t until they were walking up the pathway to their house that Song-Ki told Sunny that he was never allowed to see Mi-Rae ever again. That Mi-Rae and her family hated them, and they were only nice to try and steal from them.
Sunny was so confused to why Mi-Rae and her family would try to do that to them. But Song-Ki was persistent and told his son that if he ever saw that family again, that he would get a smack and be grounded for the rest of the year with no Birthday or Christmas presents. So, Sunny kept his mouth shut, head down and followed his father’s rules.
For years he continued to keep going this way. Bottling everything down because he needed to make sure that everyone else’s happiness came before his own. He knew that one day it was just going to explode. But, like with everything else, he placed it into the back of his mind and continued to focus on what was happening now.
When he was sixteen, his father announced to him that his health issues had resurfaced and because he didn’t get it checked out, it had formed into stomach cancer. Song-Ki took out a loan from a shark and started his chemotherapy. However, due to his treatments, he was unable to work (but did that really stop him from trying?). Eventually, Song-Ki became too weak, and the doctor’s announced that the treatment wasn’t working. Song-Ki was literally staying in the hospital so he could die peacefully. Sunny had only been made aware of the loan sharks a couple of weeks before his father’s passing. To try and pay them off quicker, Sunny decided to sell their house in the village. But even with that gone, there was still so much to pay off. Sunny spent those final days by his father’s side in the hospital. He slept, ate and studied there as if it was his own home. Because, after his father passed away, there would be no home to go to.
Song-Ki peacefully passed away on the 21st of August with Sunny by his side, holding onto his hand. The boy wanted to make sure that his father had the proper funeral. Therefore, he went back to the loan sharks and asked for more money to pay off the hospital bills and so they could try and produce some sort of funeral to celebrate his father’s life. The loan sharks said they were happy to and gave him money; however, also gave him a time frame of four years to pay it all back plus interest. Sunny agreed and was able to prepare a funeral that his father deserved.
He was at the top of his classes, and he wanted to maintain that so he could get a scholarship into university. Without that scholarship, he would probably have no way of getting any further education once he finished school. When he wasn’t at school, he was working one of the five part-time jobs which he obtained; tutoring, cashier at 7/11, charcoal boy at Sinabro BBQ, delivery work and, once in a while, getting paid off to finish some dumb kid’s homework. As for sleeping arrangements, jimjilbangs (24-hour spas) were a gift from heaven. With eight different jimjilbangs near his school, he was able to rotate which days he would sleep in the sleeping room. It also meant that he was able to get a good bath and scrub daily after work.
However, money is starting to become tight. And the loan sharks are starting to get onto his case about late payments. Only time will tell how long he’ll be able to keep staying at the jimjilbangs.

Dislikes Bananas, kiwifruit and anything latex (obviously because of his allergies) and dogs (because he’s petrified of them). He also hates it when people tap their feet up and down or click the top of their pens repeatedly.
Habits When he's thinking, he tends to furiously blink excessively. He doesn't realise he's doing it until someone points it out. It's almost like a nervous tick.
Fears Not having any control over his life or ending up alone. Also, he's scared of dogs ever since the neighbour's dog bit his ankle as a child.
Hidden talents He can move his ears up and down.
Love language Words of affirmation + Quality time. The absence of his mother in his life, his father always being busy and feeling like he was getting teased for doing well in school, Sunny has always doubted himself and his capabilities. Having someone praise him and spend time out of their day to be with him makes him feel unbelievably loved.
Intelligence Spatial Intelligence – The ability to imagine or visualize in one’s mind the positions of objects, their shapes, their spatial relations to one another and the movement they make to form new spatial relations. It’s the ability to perform visualization and spatial thinking.
Personality type Sunny has a Logistician (ISTJ-T) personality type. He enjoys taking responsibility for his actions and takes pride in all the work he does. When it comes to working towards a goal, he holds back none of his time and energy, completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience. He has defining characteristics of integrity, practical logical and tireless dedication to duty.
Strengths – Strong-willed and dutiful, very responsible and calm and practical. Sunny embodies that integrity in his actions making him hardworking and focused on his goals. He’s patient and determined and always aims to meet his obligations no matter what. Because of this, he is very responsible as his word is a promise and a promise means everything. He would rather run himself into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results he said he would. Finally, none of his promises would mean much if he lost his temper and broke down at every sign of hardship. Sunny keeps his feet on the ground and makes clear rational decisions.
Weaknesses – Stubborn, always by the book and often unreasonably blames himself – Sunny tends to resist any new idea that isn’t supported by him. It’s difficult for him to accept that he might be wrong about something or that he’s missed out any sort of details. He also believes that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes him reluctant to bend those roles or to try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Unstructured environments leave Sunny all but paralysed. Finally, he believes that he is the only one who can see projects through reliably. He will load himself with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas – but will reach a tipping point where he simply can’t deliver. Since he would’ve heaped the responsibility on himself, Sunny then believes the responsibility for failure is his alone to bear. [/div][/div][/div] [div class=Textbox][div class="tabContents tabContents04"][div class=scroll]
Song-Ki was always a busy man, making sure that he had enough money to provide for his family. He was very prideful and never liked to take any offers from strangers which was why he avoided the volunteer crew like the plague. The only thing he wanted in life was for his son to be happy with a bright future ahead of him. He was Sunny’s best – and after Mi-Rae, only – friend and he was heartbroken when he passed away.
Sunny never knew much about his mother. All his father told him was how much he reminded him of her. Apparently, she was very goal-driven and very smart, just like Sunny - and full of love to give to all. He has always felt somewhat guilty for his mother’s suicide as the children in the village would often say it was his fault. They used to love her as if she was their own mother as she would often play with them on the weekends while Song-Ki was at work.
Mi-Rae was Sunny’s best friend and his first love. He would always seem to find himself at her house or going to the park with her. He even told her one day that he would love to marry her – before getting shy and saying it was a joke, of course. She was the first (and probably the only) other person his age that took any interest in him and wanted to be friends with him. When his father told him that he wasn’t allowed to see her anymore, he was absolutely heartbroken. But, of course, like usual, he pushed it all down and told himself that he shouldn’t get upset over something like this. To this day, he still wonders what she is doing and what she now looks like.

REWIND
1-2 YEARS
The Ho Family were not well off at all. Song-Ki and Ye-Won were both trying their best in life to make sure that they could get by. While Song-Ki worked on a construction site despite his health issues, Ye-Won spent her time working as a cleaning maid at a local motel. They were only just able to make enough income together to have a house in Junggye-dong, Nowon-gu – also known as “104 Moon Village”. The poorest slum in Seoul. So, the thought of bringing a child into the world seemed like something so outrageous. They were struggling to feed themselves every day and to throw a child in there – that would just be silly.However, when you were as poor as they were, contraception didn’t come easy. Nor did the ability to have an abortion (especially as it was illegal at the time). In late July, Ye-Won realised that she was late for her period but thought nothing of it. It wasn’t until October did she decide to go and see a doctor. She was gaining weight and was still yet to have her period. And it seemed that the main reason for it all was that she was, in fact, six months pregnant. Song-Ki and Ye-Won were both shocked to find that they were expecting a child within three months. Both of them didn’t have any family who could help them out and were freaking out that they wouldn’t have everything they needed for their child’s arrival. Luckily, the people of Moon Village came together and donated anything and everything that they could for the arrival of the new baby.
And then on Christmas Eve, their son was brought into the world.
As it was the village people who helped to prepare their house for their child, they asked them for a name to give him. They asked the village fortune teller and she announced that their son’s name would be Sun-Woo – coming from the Hanja characteristics that represented “to give, to bestow” as he would provide warmth and happiness to others. Because of this, his nickname, Sunny (or Sonny), was born. Sunny was a blessing to the village and known as the “village’s child”; each family that lived in their area knew about him, and all came to give their blessings on New Year's day.

When he went to search for his wife, he found her in the backyard – hanging from a tree with a rope wrapped around her neck.
3-10 YEARS
Growing up without a mother was hard for Sunny. He was often picked on the boys in his village as he spent most of his time with the grandmothers while his father worked. The boys would often call him names and say that his mother hated him so much that she had to go ahead and kill herself. Not only that, but they would chase him and throw rocks at him. Who knew that not having a mother would make you into such a social pariah? Of course, Sunny always narrowed it down that they were simply jealous; that he was so well-liked by the older women in the village compared to them. He would help them with their shopping and clean their house. In return, they would gloat to anyone who would listen about how Sunny really was the village’s child and a blessing to everyone.As he helped the other grandmother’s out, this meant he helped them out when the volunteers would come to their village. Even though he lived in the village, he took time to help the volunteers also. And this was how he met Kang Mi-Rae and her mother. Well, Mi-Rae practically saved him one day. He had been running away from some of the local bullies who had been throwing rocks at him again. She stood before them and told them to leave him alone – and for some reason, these boys were petrified of Mi-Rae despite their obvious height and age differences.
From that day forward, Mi-Rae became Sunny’s best friend.
Whenever she came with her mother during the volunteer days, Sunny would be by her side for the full day. Never had he ever met someone his age who was so willing to be his friend. All the children at school looked down at him because he was poor and lived in Moon Village – but not Mi-Rae. She didn’t seem to care at all. And over the coming months and years, their friendship began to grow stronger to the point where all Sunny wanted to do was be with Mi-Rae. Because… well… she was his first love.
So, instead of spending his time with the village grandparents after school and on weekends, Sunny began to spend more time having fun with Mi-Rae and actually being a child. He loved going over to her house and especially loved spending time with Mi-Rae’s mother. She always provided them with something to eat, and she would help him sew any clothes he may have had that needed fixing. She even helped him with his homework when things were just too difficult. Mi-Rae’s house was so big and beautiful compared to his own place – she even had a television which he never had the opportunity to have!
One night, while he was having dinner at Mi-Rae’s place, there was a knock on the door. Mi-Rae’s mother went to open the door and whoever was there sounded very angry. Sunny couldn’t pick up exactly what was being said but could catch small sentences about ‘giving him new shoes’ and ‘he’s not another charity case’. After a heated exchange, Song-Ki entered the room and made his way over to his son. Without saying a word, he took hold of Sunny’s wrist and pulled him out of the house. It wasn’t until they were walking up the pathway to their house that Song-Ki told Sunny that he was never allowed to see Mi-Rae ever again.

But Song-Ki was persistent and told his son that if he ever saw that family again, that he would get a smack and be grounded for the rest of the year with no Birthday or Christmas presents. So, Sunny kept his mouth shut, head down and followed his father’s rules.
11-17 YEARS
After his father forbid him to see his best friend, Sunny went on to focus most of his attention onto school and helping the village once more. He was always the top of his classes and continued to be well known throughout the town. However, it always brought unwanted attention and once again, with Mi-Rae not in the picture to defend him, he was an easy target for the older, stronger children. He didn’t bother to try and make any new friends at school as he had the intense fear that once he did, his father would make him give up on their friendship like he had done with Mi-Rae.For years he continued to keep going this way. Bottling everything down because he needed to make sure that everyone else’s happiness came before his own. He knew that one day it was just going to explode. But, like with everything else, he placed it into the back of his mind and continued to focus on what was happening now.
When he was sixteen, his father announced to him that his health issues had resurfaced and because he didn’t get it checked out, it had formed into stomach cancer. Song-Ki took out a loan from a shark and started his chemotherapy. However, due to his treatments, he was unable to work (but did that really stop him from trying?). Eventually, Song-Ki became too weak, and the doctor’s announced that the treatment wasn’t working. Song-Ki was literally staying in the hospital so he could die peacefully. Sunny had only been made aware of the loan sharks a couple of weeks before his father’s passing. To try and pay them off quicker, Sunny decided to sell their house in the village. But even with that gone, there was still so much to pay off. Sunny spent those final days by his father’s side in the hospital. He slept, ate and studied there as if it was his own home. Because, after his father passed away, there would be no home to go to.
Song-Ki peacefully passed away on the 21st of August with Sunny by his side, holding onto his hand. The boy wanted to make sure that his father had the proper funeral. Therefore, he went back to the loan sharks and asked for more money to pay off the hospital bills and so they could try and produce some sort of funeral to celebrate his father’s life.

Sunny agreed and was able to prepare a funeral that his father deserved.
18 - 19 YEARS
Now with his father gone, no house and a debt to pay off, Sunny put his focus onto two things; school and work.He was at the top of his classes, and he wanted to maintain that so he could get a scholarship into university. Without that scholarship, he would probably have no way of getting any further education once he finished school. When he wasn’t at school, he was working one of the five part-time jobs which he obtained; tutoring, cashier at 7/11, charcoal boy at Sinabro BBQ, delivery work and, once in a while, getting paid off to finish some dumb kid’s homework. As for sleeping arrangements, jimjilbangs (24-hour spas) were a gift from heaven. With eight different jimjilbangs near his school, he was able to rotate which days he would sleep in the sleeping room. It also meant that he was able to get a good bath and scrub daily after work.
However, money is starting to become tight. And the loan sharks are starting to get onto his case about late payments. Only time will tell how long he’ll be able to keep staying at the jimjilbangs.

INSIDE
Likes Going for walks with people (when living in the village, he would often go for walks with the grandparents), reading sci-fi books, learning about the human body (wants to be a doctor), riding his bike, potato twists with garlic salt.Dislikes Bananas, kiwifruit and anything latex (obviously because of his allergies) and dogs (because he’s petrified of them). He also hates it when people tap their feet up and down or click the top of their pens repeatedly.
Habits When he's thinking, he tends to furiously blink excessively. He doesn't realise he's doing it until someone points it out. It's almost like a nervous tick.
Fears Not having any control over his life or ending up alone. Also, he's scared of dogs ever since the neighbour's dog bit his ankle as a child.
Hidden talents He can move his ears up and down.
Love language Words of affirmation + Quality time. The absence of his mother in his life, his father always being busy and feeling like he was getting teased for doing well in school, Sunny has always doubted himself and his capabilities. Having someone praise him and spend time out of their day to be with him makes him feel unbelievably loved.
Intelligence Spatial Intelligence – The ability to imagine or visualize in one’s mind the positions of objects, their shapes, their spatial relations to one another and the movement they make to form new spatial relations. It’s the ability to perform visualization and spatial thinking.
Personality type Sunny has a Logistician (ISTJ-T) personality type. He enjoys taking responsibility for his actions and takes pride in all the work he does. When it comes to working towards a goal, he holds back none of his time and energy, completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience. He has defining characteristics of integrity, practical logical and tireless dedication to duty.
Strengths – Strong-willed and dutiful, very responsible and calm and practical. Sunny embodies that integrity in his actions making him hardworking and focused on his goals. He’s patient and determined and always aims to meet his obligations no matter what. Because of this, he is very responsible as his word is a promise and a promise means everything. He would rather run himself into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results he said he would. Finally, none of his promises would mean much if he lost his temper and broke down at every sign of hardship. Sunny keeps his feet on the ground and makes clear rational decisions.
Weaknesses – Stubborn, always by the book and often unreasonably blames himself – Sunny tends to resist any new idea that isn’t supported by him. It’s difficult for him to accept that he might be wrong about something or that he’s missed out any sort of details. He also believes that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes him reluctant to bend those roles or to try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Unstructured environments leave Sunny all but paralysed. Finally, he believes that he is the only one who can see projects through reliably. He will load himself with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas – but will reach a tipping point where he simply can’t deliver. Since he would’ve heaped the responsibility on himself, Sunny then believes the responsibility for failure is his alone to bear.

THEOTHERS
OH SUNG-KI
Appa - 58 years old
Song-Ki was always a busy man, making sure that he had enough money to provide for his family. He was very prideful and never liked to take any offers from strangers which was why he avoided the volunteer crew like the plague. The only thing he wanted in life was for his son to be happy with a bright future ahead of him. He was Sunny’s best – and after Mi-Rae, only – friend and he was heartbroken when he passed away.
LEE YE-WON
Umma - 34 years old
Sunny never knew much about his mother. All his father told him was how much he reminded him of her. Apparently, she was very goal-driven and very smart, just like Sunny - and full of love to give to all. He has always felt somewhat guilty for his mother’s suicide as the children in the village would often say it was his fault. They used to love her as if she was their own mother as she would often play with them on the weekends while Song-Ki was at work.
KANG MI-RAE
Best friend + first love
Mi-Rae was Sunny’s best friend and his first love. He would always seem to find himself at her house or going to the park with her. He even told her one day that he would love to marry her – before getting shy and saying it was a joke, of course. She was the first (and probably the only) other person his age that took any interest in him and wanted to be friends with him. When his father told him that he wasn’t allowed to see her anymore, he was absolutely heartbroken. But, of course, like usual, he pushed it all down and told himself that he shouldn’t get upset over something like this. To this day, he still wonders what she is doing and what she now looks like.

[div class=tag]virtues[/div]
[+] Friendly; a sunshine incarnate with easy bright smiles and an even brighter heart. Adores making new friends and expanding her beloved circle of confidantes. An extrovert through and often ecstatic for no particular reason( which can be overbearing to some). A person dedicated to making others feel as welcome and included. A preacher of love and acceptance - a laughter easy and amused.
[+] Positive; a resolute follower of 'there's always a silver lining'. Understands that life needs a balance between light and dark but refuses to fall down the rabbit-hole of pessimism. Clings to the positive thoughts as her sanity is on the line, and maybe it is. Maybe there's a fear, the fear that if she gives in to the gloom, it will drown her in an ocean.
[+] Loyal - do you know that term, “ride or die”? that’s Mi-rae. if she believes in you, she will until the very end - her loyalty as unwavering as her beliefs. uses her knowledge to give advice and guide her friends in the best way possible, and will utilise her sources to end those whoever threatens them. won't abandon the brutal honesty, but will still be there at the end of the day should you need anyone. the kind who will weather all and any storms by your side.
[+] Hard-working - Mi-rae might not be the smartest, but will try her hardest nonetheless. Doesn't believe in half-assing things, even if the end result doesn't resemble it. Knowing she is doing something that contributes to something meaningful gives her a purpose and encourages her to do her best no matter what.
[div class=tag]vices[/div]
[-] highly emotional; moods drop and raise almost volatilely at times and it's far too easy to make tears prickle her eyes and fall from her face. There are times where she’ll cry about how much she loves her friends as well when they’re being too sweet to her, and times where she’s so frustrated that she’ll have no qualms actually screaming about it. A person who can't do halves, especially when it comes to expressing emotions. Gets too excited about things, too determined about others and too frustrated about matters. Particularly when under stress, criticism or conflict, emotional bursts are to be expected from this female and with the intensity of a thousand suns.
[-] Gullible; Mi-rae can be easily manipulated, especially by those she cares about. it's not difficult to coax her into things; usually all it takes is sweet pretty-please and some good puppy-expression for her to cave in. She takes many things at face value, so if you have a pretty good poker face, chances are that you can make her believe your lies quite easily. Love makes her blind, meaning it turns her oblivious to toxic behaviour or red flags. After all, she wouldn't love someone not good-hearted... right?
[-] Overly selfless; Mi-rae is someone always there to help, always ready to lend a hand. She likes to keep busy, and she also likes making others happy, so, her personality is one where she's always there to give a helping hand, ready to do whatever favours without hesitation. You could use her as a personal gofer and she wouldn't mind, never minding having to go out of her way to walk.
[-] Reckless; proud follower of the 'carpe diem' principle. A girl who acts on impulses and one very prone to lose rationality when it involves a thrill or excitement. A brave soul and - without doubt - someone who won’t back down and will forge ahead, even if what’s ahead terrifies her. Has no qualms going straight into the danger if she thinks she should, which is quite often. Not all a mindless peril seeking girl though; doesn't want to bring others in danger with her reckless actions and tries her best to prevent that.

[div class=tag]history[/div]
Unbeknownst to Mi-rae, she was not born to the Kang name. She was abandoned as a baby under a bridge by her real mother and if it wasn't for Kim Seon-ja to have found her and raised her as her own, her life would've looked a lot different. Kim Seon-ja and Kim In-kwon had recently lost their own son due to a drunk driver incident. It had broken the family and the hope of another child was near nihil since Seon-ja had already experienced many difficulties with conceiving their son. The fateful encounter with a baby under a bridge was dubbed a miracle. It was like god had gifted her with another chance to become a mother, and she took it with both hands. Kim In-kwon was more than surprised to find his wife with a baby in her arms once he returned home and after the explanation, found himself in quite the predicament. They could not just claim a random baby from the streets and raise it as their own: there were laws to follow. Not to mention that they knew nothing about the circumstance that led to the baby being discarded. Maybe there was still some other relative in the picture that wanted to keep the baby or maybe the person who left the baby regretted their decision and wanted their child back. Nevertheless, Seon-ja was convinced that no one would come back for the baby and didn't want to put such an innocent soul into a foster system. It was fate, she said. In the end, In-kwon relented but made his wife promise that they would go on about it the right way. Only if they could legally acquire parentship over the baby, they would keep it.
And maybe it really was fate, because the parents succeeded and soon welcomed their new daughter to the family. They named her Mi-rae and while their new child could never replace the son they lost, Mi-rae did bring joy back into the family again. Her childhood early childhood was just like most children; worry-free and brimming of life. Her mother was an elementary school teacher while her father was an account manager at an international company. Thanks to her father's position in the company, the family did not have to worry about money and were able to live a rather comfortable life in the heart of Seoul. Unfortunately, the job also meant that his father was often abroad. As a result, Mi-rae didn't see her father very often but it was okay - because he made sure to make every moment together count whenever he was home.
Mi-rae's mother was a kind and generous soul and often dedicated her free time helping others and contributing to good causes. During the weekends, Seon-ja did volunteer work where she travelled to a poor village in Seoul and gave free tutorship and schooling. Mi-rae often accompanied her mother on these trips and managed to make friends with other children. One time, she came across some others bullying another kid and perhaps recklessly, confronted them about it. She grabbed a stick and pointed it to the bullies, telling them to leave the other boy alone. One of the bullies started laughing - right until he got hit with a stick in the face. Mi-rae then told them to leave once again, or else she would tell her mother and her mother would tell their parents. That made the bullies back off and after they had left, she turned back to the boy, asking if he was okay.
Perhaps this was another fate encounter - because that certain interaction soon blossomed into a real friendship. Years passed by and the two grew closer and closer together. They spent a lot of time back at her home and, sometimes, he even stayed over for a whole weekend. It was no doubt that Mi-rae considered him her best friend, and maybe, that's what made it all the more painful when it suddenly....stopped. One day, they were still best friends, but then-- all contact ceased. Mi-rae was left in confusion and hurt, not knowing why he abruptly stopped coming over after that night when his father came over. Sure, he seemed mad about something - but that couldn't be their friendship, could it? Was it something she'd done? Something she said? Mi-rae wanted answers, wanted to have her best friend back, but her mother wouldn't say anything and forbid her to go there herself.
Nevertheless, Mi-rae couldn't let it go. Determined to get her best friend back no matter what, the girl lied to her mother about going over to another friend's house in the weekend and went back to his neighbourhood. There, she approached his home and knocked on the door. However, disappointment came when not Sun-woo answered the door, but his father. She asked if he was home and received a curt reply of no. Mi-rae didn't want to give up though and proceeded to ask if she could wait until he got home because she wanted to talk to him. His father then looked her straight in the eye and said: "Sun-woo doesn't want to be friends with you anymore, so it's best if you leave," before slamming the door in her face. Shocked, Mi-rae stared back at the closed door, unsure if she heard what she just heard. Was it true? It didn't seem like Sun-woo to just break off a friendship like this.... But his dad wouldn't lie about such a thing, right? Did Sun-woo really think that way about her? Defeated, Mi-rae turned around and left the neighbourhood, tears spilling from her eyes and heart aching like it never did before.
Mi-rae didn't tell her mother about what happened that day. Instead, she just kept it to herself while trying to work through the pain, the hurt and the anger. It took a while for her to accept the way their friendship ended, but in the end, life moved on - and so did she. Soon enough, the girl entered middle school, where her attention would be pulled into many different directions. School, new friends, social events. Before Mi-rae knew it, High school rolled around and another element was added to her life; work. Pressure was raised, the competitive environment weighing heavily on her shoulders as she battled through the harsh academic years. It didn't help either that suddenly, the equivalent of a prince had taken an interest in her - and she fell in love with him too. Now she also had to juggle having a boyfriend in her life !! Save to say, some of her subjects took a bit of a tumble grade-wise, which prompted her to seek a tutor to help her academic career not sink like the titanic.
[div class=tag]family[/div]
Kim Seon-ja - mother
A soul that is brimming of warmth, love and compassion. Mi-rae's greatest support in life and the person she might love the most. The absolute noisiest of the bunch, especially when it comes to her daughter. Will find a time and slot in every conversation to express the pride she feels and to unashamedly brag about Mi-rae's accomplishments, no matter how small. Unhesitant and unrelenting in sharing compassion with everyone around her, one positive energy through and through. Doesn't want her daughter to discover she isn't their biological child in fear of having her look for her real parents and leaving them, because she can't bear to lose another child.
Kim In-kwon - father
A more grounded person, but caring nonetheless. Loves his wife and daughter more than anything and works long hours because his family deserves anything and everything. Doesn't really believe in miracles, though can't help but admit that Mi-rae's case comes close to one. Feels a bit torn about keeping Mi-rae's real origins a secret, but ultimately, follows his wife's wishes. And while the two are not the closest, Mi-rae loves her father and knows she got his silent support no matter what.
[div class=tag]relationships[/div]
my lover:
Hwang Joon-jae
Mi-rae honestly doesn't know how she managed to become the girlfriend of the titled prince Joon-jae. He seems way out of her league, his wealth and popularity having gained him a plethora of admirers and yet...he fell in love with her? And with a persona as sweet, charming and smart as his, how could she not fall in love with him? He is a wonderful boyfriend; one who showers her with gifts and affection. Sure, he has a bit of a temper and gets jealous easily, but that's nothing bad !! Others might find him a tad possessive but to Mi-rae it only shows that he cares about her. He is still a kind person and he loves her, which is very important.
my nemesis:
Song Min-ji
Mi-rae does not know what she has done to evoke Min-ji's hatred towards her - other than maybe dating her ex-boyfriend. But, that's a stupid reason! They had already broken up a year before Joon-jae asked her on a date and Min-ji is dating someone else too. Nevertheless, it seems like Min-ji takes enjoyment in undermining Mi-rae every way possible, whether it be making snide comments about her clothes, family or work. Mi-rae has gotten to know that there's no winning in this scenario and opted to just avoid the girl as much as possible.
my soulmate:
Ho Sun-woo
While she hasn't seen him in years and is still kinda hurt/bitter about how their friendship ended, Mi-rae can't deny that they had a bond together like no other. She cares about him still and often wanders back to the memories they shared together with melancholy. It really is a shame how their paths got divided, their relationship severed. She knows there will never be someone like him in her life; he is her soulmate. So despite how mad she is about it, she could never hate him. All in all, Mi-rae hopes he is doing okay wherever he might be.
my side chick:
Park Hana
The two met by chance through Mi-rae's own clumsiness. Running with coffee in her hand might not have been the smartest idea but she was late for the bus, so that's what happened. But as she rounded the corner, she clashed into a girl. Mi-rae went down, coffee went flying, and the other girl was the unfortunate target of the spilled drink. Mi-rae immediately started profusely apologizing, bowing at least ten times, before hearing a small laugh. The girl assured that it was okay, but Mi-rae insisted on buying her a new blouse. In the end, the girl cave in and the two embarked on an impromptu shopping mission. During that time, they learned they had a lot in common and quickly became friends. Mi-rae loves Hana to bits and knows she can always count on her.
my partner in crime:
Choi Dae-won
Mi-rae met him through her boyfriend as he was friends with Joon-jae.. Though, in reality Dae-won only pretends to be friends with her boyfriend because his parents want the two to be amicable towards each other. Despite Dae-won's wealth, he is very down-to-earth and humorous. Mi-rae likes to joke around with him and also loves how he isn't the most academically inclined either. It makes her feel a little bit better about herself-

[div class=tag]virtues[/div]
[+] Friendly; a sunshine incarnate with easy bright smiles and an even brighter heart. Adores making new friends and expanding her beloved circle of confidantes. An extrovert through and often ecstatic for no particular reason( which can be overbearing to some). A person dedicated to making others feel as welcome and included. A preacher of love and acceptance - a laughter easy and amused.
[+] Positive; a resolute follower of 'there's always a silver lining'. Understands that life needs a balance between light and dark but refuses to fall down the rabbit-hole of pessimism. Clings to the positive thoughts as her sanity is on the line, and maybe it is. Maybe there's a fear, the fear that if she gives in to the gloom, it will drown her in an ocean.
[+] Loyal - do you know that term, “ride or die”? that’s Mi-rae. if she believes in you, she will until the very end - her loyalty as unwavering as her beliefs. uses her knowledge to give advice and guide her friends in the best way possible, and will utilise her sources to end those whoever threatens them. won't abandon the brutal honesty, but will still be there at the end of the day should you need anyone. the kind who will weather all and any storms by your side.
[+] Hard-working - Mi-rae might not be the smartest, but will try her hardest nonetheless. Doesn't believe in half-assing things, even if the end result doesn't resemble it. Knowing she is doing something that contributes to something meaningful gives her a purpose and encourages her to do her best no matter what.
[div class=tag]vices[/div]
[-] highly emotional; moods drop and raise almost volatilely at times and it's far too easy to make tears prickle her eyes and fall from her face. There are times where she’ll cry about how much she loves her friends as well when they’re being too sweet to her, and times where she’s so frustrated that she’ll have no qualms actually screaming about it. A person who can't do halves, especially when it comes to expressing emotions. Gets too excited about things, too determined about others and too frustrated about matters. Particularly when under stress, criticism or conflict, emotional bursts are to be expected from this female and with the intensity of a thousand suns.
[-] Gullible; Mi-rae can be easily manipulated, especially by those she cares about. it's not difficult to coax her into things; usually all it takes is sweet pretty-please and some good puppy-expression for her to cave in. She takes many things at face value, so if you have a pretty good poker face, chances are that you can make her believe your lies quite easily. Love makes her blind, meaning it turns her oblivious to toxic behaviour or red flags. After all, she wouldn't love someone not good-hearted... right?
[-] Overly selfless; Mi-rae is someone always there to help, always ready to lend a hand. She likes to keep busy, and she also likes making others happy, so, her personality is one where she's always there to give a helping hand, ready to do whatever favours without hesitation. You could use her as a personal gofer and she wouldn't mind, never minding having to go out of her way to walk.
[-] Reckless; proud follower of the 'carpe diem' principle. A girl who acts on impulses and one very prone to lose rationality when it involves a thrill or excitement. A brave soul and - without doubt - someone who won’t back down and will forge ahead, even if what’s ahead terrifies her. Has no qualms going straight into the danger if she thinks she should, which is quite often. Not all a mindless peril seeking girl though; doesn't want to bring others in danger with her reckless actions and tries her best to prevent that.
[div class=tag]likes[/div] floral patterns, sweet scents, warm cuddles on a cold night, pastel colours, Disney movies, karaoke, cute dogs, festivals, bingsu [ shaved ice], lotte world, hearing foreign languages, wearing matching clothes with her SO, romantic comedies, baking, strawberries
[div class=tag]dislikes[/div] rudeness, violence, arguments, getting left out, mornings, pressure, stress, soondae [blood sausage ], failing someone's expectations, overly competitive attitude between students, being called naive or dumb, repetition, continuous pessimism, insincerity, loneliness.

[div class=tag]history[/div]
Unbeknownst to Mi-rae, she was not born to the Kang name. She was abandoned as a baby under a bridge by her real mother and if it wasn't for Kim Seon-ja to have found her and raised her as her own, her life would've looked a lot different. Kim Seon-ja and Kim In-kwon had recently lost their own son due to a drunk driver incident. It had broken the family and the hope of another child was near nihil since Seon-ja had already experienced many difficulties with conceiving their son. The fateful encounter with a baby under a bridge was dubbed a miracle. It was like god had gifted her with another chance to become a mother, and she took it with both hands. Kim In-kwon was more than surprised to find his wife with a baby in her arms once he returned home and after the explanation, found himself in quite the predicament. They could not just claim a random baby from the streets and raise it as their own: there were laws to follow. Not to mention that they knew nothing about the circumstance that led to the baby being discarded. Maybe there was still some other relative in the picture that wanted to keep the baby or maybe the person who left the baby regretted their decision and wanted their child back. Nevertheless, Seon-ja was convinced that no one would come back for the baby and didn't want to put such an innocent soul into a foster system. It was fate, she said. In the end, In-kwon relented but made his wife promise that they would go on about it the right way. Only if they could legally acquire parentship over the baby, they would keep it.
And maybe it really was fate, because the parents succeeded and soon welcomed their new daughter to the family. They named her Mi-rae and while their new child could never replace the son they lost, Mi-rae did bring joy back into the family again. Her childhood early childhood was just like most children; worry-free and brimming of life. Her mother was an elementary school teacher while her father was an account manager at an international company. Thanks to her father's position in the company, the family did not have to worry about money and were able to live a rather comfortable life in the heart of Seoul. Unfortunately, the job also meant that his father was often abroad. As a result, Mi-rae didn't see her father very often but it was okay - because he made sure to make every moment together count whenever he was home.
Mi-rae's mother was a kind and generous soul and often dedicated her free time helping others and contributing to good causes. During the weekends, Seon-ja did volunteer work where she travelled to a poor village in Seoul and gave free tutorship and schooling. Mi-rae often accompanied her mother on these trips and managed to make friends with other children. One time, she came across some others bullying another kid and perhaps recklessly, confronted them about it. She grabbed a stick and pointed it to the bullies, telling them to leave the other boy alone. One of the bullies started laughing - right until he got hit with a stick in the face.
