student/p/t florist.

art & journalism & track .

heteroual & crushing.

hyewon comes from seattle, washington, she decided to come to korea to pursue her studies, her father got a job offer in korea, so belle decided to leave behind her old life and start fresh out of her break from highschool by attending university in korea. belle is a single child, and genuinely her parents love spoiling her rotten. she wouldn't say she grew up with a silver spoon in - although, her fashion sense amongst other qualities may beg to differ, but she was at least of high-class material back in washington.

as time goes on, in korea, she realized that maybe she's just a chic-looking nerd, rather than a rich and privileged girl. she may even seem "poor" to the other chaebols attending the university, as funny as it may seem. she never slacks off on dressing, she never really cared about fashion either, always wishing to dress that makes her comfortable. but over the years of her break from highschool when she finished at age 18 - she took an internship with a newspaper catalog, becoming an amateur writer for the paper, this is how she realized and found her love for writing; wanting to do something different that her family never ever did before; journalism.

 

over the time of being in korea, she developed a keen sense of enjoying the arts, hence the club she partakes in at school - she has a thing for blending colors and creating things of different shapes and sizes. eventually, even with her folks being rich and well-off, she wanted to grant herself a part-time job becoming a florist. as of now, belle is a part-time florist, which helps pay her tuition, not that she needs it desperately, but it's also a way of being independent and on her own feet without relying all on her parents. she also enjoys culinary arts, always trying to make something new and try different dishes and pastries here and there. she has a lot of ambitions, goals and hobbies and cooking and baking is one of many. one of which she's on the hunt for someone willing to give her one on one lessons and take her on as their apprentice [hopeful.]

her father, wanting to keep her happy, allowed her to splurge when she wanted, of course, when he gets a change in his job and they have to settle into korea, a big move, big changes, she got to humble herself a bit and respect that he isn't working for the big bucks he did back at home. things are starting back over in baby steps all over again. It doesn't deter her nonetheless. Which is why she's keen on becoming independent and paying for her own things, because she loves experiencing new adventures and she believes this would be something positive for her. 

her mbti- is infp - which is described to be a mediator and idealist type of person. it's a rare personality type and she's genuinely seen to be very open-minded, creative, imaginative in everything that she does. the one part she may not strongly agree with is being quiet, when she's new to different people, she would be very quiet at first, warming up to them and figuring out how she can act around them. when she does warm up to them and become comfortable in her own skin, then she would be more of her open self. being loud and wild at times, depending on her company. has zero filter and she speaks her mind, she's truthful and blunt, a bit too honest sometimes because it can come across as being offensive. she never backs down from her beliefs and morals, so this causes her to make a lot of enemies. she's a very temperamental individual, always having anger issues since growing up, something she's trying very hard to work on, sometimes she thinks if someone pushes her to the limit and she gets that angry, she can even hurt the person or herself. it's best to not get on her bad side.

 

she's a bit of a goody two shoes kind of girl, since her parents expect it from her, but deep down she wishes to break away from that. she's a bit of a hypocrite, honestly, deep down she's envious hence she judges others - would look at the stoners or jocks hosting their frat parties and be disgusted and wonder if they just come to school to get high and drunk and have . she would look on at people in the city, day in and day out at the floral shop, enjoying their life to the fullest, couples on the streets getting handy, people merely living their best adult life at night, wishing to break loose from the strings that suffocate her. deep down belle wishes to break free from her norms, her parents expectations and experience life to the fullest. she's a bit disheartened and sad, because the morals and beliefs she grew up with, fights her down on being who she wishes to become. 

it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting changes.
