they say passion is what drives your love when it comes to any field. unfortunately, that's not how it was for jung yein. growing up as the only child of a father as ceo of a large company, as well as a world-renonwned actress of a mother, she was expected to do well and follow in their footsteps in terms of talent, intelligence, leadership - any field, you name it. from a very young age, she was forced to become the "perfect child," taking up music lessons, dance lessons, and many more supplementary courses. there wasn't a single night she wasn't being taught by a private tutor outside school. alongside talents and so-called "hobbies," she took part in many extracurricular activities and student groups in middle school and high school to further strengthen her role under her tiger parents who had never once loved her unconditionally.

it all came to a halt weeks before her eighteenth birthday - one night while she was out studying with her friends, a break-in occurred at her residence. her parents had been brutally murdered, and surveillance tapes throughout the house showed minimal to no evidence that would help law enforcement. the event took a huge toll on yein's life and she took time off before she decided to begin her college journey. yes, her parents were cruel and forced their beliefs and ideals on her. however, she never once cursed them or hated them for their acts - or did she? having not yet been eighteen at the time, she had to live under her aunt and uncle's roof, and she was heavily questioned by the police pertaining her involvement with her parents' deaths. given the kind of relationship yein had with her parents, the investigators on the case could not find it impossible that she'd want her birth givers dead for good. with positive polygraph tests and no incriminating evidence against her, she was able to escape a court case as a free woman. is she a woman to be pitied and sympathized with, having both parents taken from her? or do the police have a possible serial killer on their hands?

it's been four years since the incident. yein continues to live with a scar on her heart as she tries to find herself, as well as her own personal values that don't include her parents' inputs. with her parents having been such successful adults, she lives off the inheritance money and works at a bookstore. she also writes, paints, and draws for multiple companies and commissions. as for college, she knows that such an opportunity for education will open up possible future careers, though she is unsure of what she truly desires, unable to clearly see herself dedicating the rest of her life to a single field of study. with that being said, she is currently exploring biological science and mortuary science, mainly trying to focus on her general requirements.

when it comes to talents and hobbies, yein is largely multi-talented. although her parents pushed so many skills onto her, a great list became things that she fortunately enjoys. she loves both visual and performing arts, having picked up violin and piano at a young age - she's a huge music nerd and enthusiast and her favorite composer would have to be the great pyotr ilyich tchaikovsky. theatre, dancing, singing, writing, drawing, painting - you name it, and she enjoys it all. of course, she also grew up learning how to become a well-mannered lady, taking in how to cook, clean, sew, and attend social events. the only thing that sets her aside from the rest is her interest in grotesque subjects - murder, serial killers, torture, and the anatomy of the human body.

since yein was always so busy conforming to her parents' ideals, she never had a chance to work on personal relationships. friends were hard to keep close by, and she never reached out to adults. she comes off as a playful person who, in general, is always very bright and happy. though in reality, she is afraid of making ties and connections, afraid of who might leave or betray her next. loyalty, commitment, honesty - she wants it all. she yearns for the closeness and affection she never received as a child and as a result, she is unaware of what to do when it comes to interacting with others without wearing a facade over her true self. not to mention that her interest and talent in acting only further covers up who she really is on the inside - an insecure girl who can't voice her true emotions in fear of hurting others or getting herself hurt. talent, interests, studies, past trauma... it all took a toll on her and began to affect her public persona. even she doesn't know who she really is.

plot one | nostalgia: you knew yein back in high school before the incident occured. you two were close enough to call each other "friends," though there always seemed to be some sort of gap between you two that could never be mended. that gap only seemed to widen once yein's downfall occured, causing her to cut off all ties, with you being one of those ties. after you decided to move to casia apartments, you find that yein is your next door neighbor. vaguely remembering her from high school, you can't help but wonder what tore her away from yourself and her other connections, as well as what  changed her for good.

plot two | on edge: you've known yein for a good while, though you've also known someone in the police department longer. they've informed you of yein's past, telling you to be wary. upon confronting yein, she confesses that she indeed was the cause of her parents' deaths, continuously wrapping you around her finger with threats and lies in order to keep herself out of jail.

Plot three | actors:  you’re a person fond of books, plays, theatre, scripts, and the likes. upon visiting the bookstore, you find yein, a worker there, acting out a scene from a book/play you absolutely love. with such passion and grace ablaze in her actions, you can’t help but jump in and join her act from memory, even if it means startling her. having thought there were no customers, yein is very embarrassed at being caught in the act, though her passion takes over as you two continue on with the scene. after the small act, you two formally introduce yourselves to one another and bond over what kinds of things could be showcased through acting.
