name: lee taemin
nicknames: minnie
age: 24
 

draft bc im tryna figure this kid out:

background:
- brought up by a single dad (by choice; he didn't want marriage, but wanted a kid; taemin was birthed through surrogacy)
- lived on the poorer side of the middle class, but was heavily doted on by the few friends he had so he turned out okay
- he beat the crap out of some kids who were buillying a younger kid and got send to anger management camp for a while
- met jongin in first year of highschool, instantly started crushing on him, but jongin was painfully straight by then
- turns out, that didnt matter, for they began dating in their last year of highschool
- jongin wanted to go to saebom, and taemin simply followed, not having had many aspirations
- they started uni two years late though, having travelled the world in that meantime instead
- freshman year, he finally overcame his fears and went from undeclared major to art

personality: 
- usually pretty chill, but can be super sassy
- people mistaken him for being soft spoken because of his more feminine features, but he's got the mouth of a sailor (literally, his dad used to be in the marines)
- cloaks himself with a veil of prickly attitude, but deep down he cares fiercely and loyally for the people he loves
