I'm too lazy to write out a full background so I'll just do some dot point summarising; I didn't want to keep this portion of Myungsoo's profile empty for too long.

— Myungsoo is the (currently) single child of Kim Myunghoon, former competitive swimmer and highly decorated Olympian for South Korea, and Lee Sooyoung, former Olympian for the South Korean diving team, a hell of a legacy to uphold and one that he's determined to honour; despite how hard it may be.

— Kim Myunghoon is/was(context is important) one of the best swimmers in South Korean and in general, was considered top ten in the world during his prime in the 80's and 90's. With 12 Olympic medals under his belt and was a world record holder for the 200m relay, it's no wonder that Myunghoon has such high hopes for his son.

— Kim neé Lee Sooyoung doesn't hold quite the illustrious career her husband does but her accomplishments are no small feat. With 2 silver and 1 bronze medals to her name in 3m solo and synchronised springboard diving, Sooyoung was a popular beauty with the talent to boot back in 80s South Korea; she was somewhat of a minor celebrity(an 'influencer' back then really) but had the talent to back it up.

— They moved from South Korea to Miami, Florida, when Myungsoo was five years old; both Myunghoon and Sooyoung had received lucrative career opportunities in coaching now that both adults were retired from their sporting careers, at the time, the move seemed like the right idea. Myungsoo was a bright little boy, curious about the world and wanting to do everything and anything. As is fairly typical with moving to the otherside of the world, the young family initially struggled to intergrate but settled by the time Myungsoo was seven. They loved the warm weather and carefree lifestyle that Miami offered, even if Myunghoon and Sooyoung didn't exactly live the 'beach bum' lifestyle; they still followed strict exercise and diet regimenes, followed airtight daily schedules and refused to let himself grow slack in their aging.

— It was an unspoken guarantee that Myungsoo would take up swimming, after his father, though Sooyoung had briefly introduced him to the world of diving, his father quickly squashed that idea and insisted that he would be a swimmer.

— Myungsoo was almost always in the water but when he turned eight, his play-time would turn into lessons into drills into relay practices. His father was his coach, which some may have thought would be a blessing; after all, who else to know his limits then his parent? Somebody who he was around all the time! Myungsoo couldn't have agreed more, even if Myunghoon was more like a drill sergeant both in the pool and out of it.

Arrogant Boy.

— He was competing in national competitions by the time he was eleven, though Myungsoo wouldn't win until he was thirteen; the disappointment at each loss was palpable in the Kim home so when he finally, finally came first, Myungsoo was elated. He adored the feeling of satisfaction, gratification and praise he received from others and knew he'd do anything to keep that high in his life.

— His competitive career took off over the next few years(excluding a brief stint when he was 18 after slipping on a pool edge and breaking his arm) and Myungsoo dedicated his life to the pool. He loved everything to do with swimming, not just the winning part of it, and he knew that this was what he wanted to dedicate his life too. Myungsoo was far from the perfect swimmer but he was a consistently high-ranking contender and a strong candidate for the olympics.

Rich Boys have no hearts.

— He did receive an offer to compete in the olympics following his high school graduation but Myungsoo declined in favour for attending IOU; he wanted to practice with and compete against the best of the best in his age group, but also desired the university experience while he was an 'appropriate' age. His parents weren't happy with his decision but couldn't deny that his logic was somewhat understandable; after all, IOU churned out Olympic gold and silver medallists, world famous atheletes, etc., every year. Why couldn't Myungsoo also be a part of that prestigious alumni? And so they agreed to let him attend under some strict rules.

and this is where my brain fails.

myungsoo's typical day can look like the below:

• 5:00 to 7:30am, Mon - Fri Swim practice.
  Saturday will be 7:00 - 8:00am.
  Sunday is rest day.
• 7:30 to 9:30am Showering and general 'get ready' for the day routines; breakfast, getting lecture notes ready, etc, will fall within this 2 hour block.
• 9:30am to 4:30pm, Mon - Fri Will vary depending on his course schedule and time of the semester. Being in the medical department means a heavier work load so most days will have multi-hour classes with some breaks in between
• 4:30 to 8:30pm, Mon - Fri Studying, hanging out with friends, eating dinner, etc. He will have a 45 to 60 minute call with his parents during this time.
• 8:30 to 10:00pm, Mon - Fri Back in the pool for at least an hour for more practise OR will be in the gym.
• 10:30 to 11:30pm, Mon - Fri Gaming or catching up on last minute daily activities
• Saturdays & Sundays are more flexible and will be spent either studying, in the pool, hanging out on the beach or doing other hobbies.

basic summary.

Dude's a bit of a , more at 5。

Positive: self-confident, he's a king both in and out of the pool — trustworthy as he's never told a lie and never will — hard-working although he could stand to take a break every now and again — loyalty above all — willing to try things — passionate。

Negative: self-critical, and vehemently so — borderline arrogant but when you're as talented as he is, who wouldn't be? — vain which, again, when you look like him, wouldn't you be a little self-obsessed too — possessive as when he deems you worthy enough, he doesn't like to share — lustful because he's certainly known to have a wandering eye(and tongue)。

their likes.

Clear summer days — Double cheeseburgers with crinkle cut fries and extra ketchup — Late night hang out sessions — Bonfire parties — Live band bars, especially salsa and bachata — Watching superhero movies — Pina Colada's — Spicy beef Gimbap — Reggaeton music — Waking up early — Revealing swimsuits — more to come。

their dislikes.

Talking to his parents on the phone everyday(as they insist on doing) — Sweet food — Failing, or alternatively, not matching or surpassing his previous performances — Excessive Modesty — Classical / folk / slow-tempo music — Short hair on women — Beer — Missing meal times(this boy has a mad high calorie intake, he does not like being hungry) — more to come。

their hobbies.

Visiting the beach(swimming, tanning, playing beach volleyball/football, etc) — Swimming(duh) — Bar hopping — Throwing massive ragers that people talk about for days(he'll always find a way to top himself) — Playing online multiplayer games(Valorant = Platinum, could be higher but doesn't have the time to dedicate, Dead by Daylight = Consistent gold/iridescent on both survivor and killer) — Latin dancing — Exercising at the gym (enjoys cardio and HIIT style workouts) — Scrolling reddit (loves AITA stories) — Getting breakfast at a cafe/restaurant everyday。

their secrets.

Secrets he'll share: He wants to get married relatively young, although he lives a bachelor/one night stand lifestyle, he very much wants to settle down, plan a wedding and live a happily married life — Has an anonymous thirst trap tiktok(it's quite popular, sitting at approx 500k followers) but he'll never reveal the account name — is circumsised — got a piercing on a dare but took it out after a week, it's since healed over — Is almost entirely funded by his parents, what little money he gets from his life guard job goes towards his savings but it's meagre at best。

Secrets he'll take to the grave: His broken arm back when he was 18 wasn't an accident — Sometimes wishes his parents were dead or, at the very least, would have something horrible happen to them so that he wouldn't need to speak to them for a while。

**phrasing types of secrets credited to contemplate

their fears.

Being emotionally and physically vulnerable。

their bad habits.

Uses exercise as a distraction, can be detrimental at times — Tends to talk over others if he doesn't care about what they have to say — Holding unreasonable or unrealistic expections of other people — Guards his emotions carefully (could be considered somewhat of a lie as he's known to have anger issues however he is not the type to have a D'n'M even with his closest, most understanding friends) — Tends to follow the direction of his parents blindly — Binge-drinking but at a 'socially accepted' level aka he'll get blackout drunk pretty regularly at frat parties, clubs, etc., but not on an everyday basis — more to come。

Writing & Plotting Style

•.*★ writing style。 I prefer third but am comfortable with detailed first or script. I try to mirror but it doesn't always happen, sorry :/ on your end, I don't care what i receive in return as long as you're happy with it.

•.*★ plotting style。 I prefer plotting most of the time but I can wing. See my post in the introduction room.

I'm good at starters. Happy to do them.

•.*★ overall。 I'm very flexible about how we actually rp and will work at your pace if possible.

Activity & Reply Speed

•.*★ important。 Please do not poke me unless it has been 10+ days and I have not given you an ooc update in a chat room or in our dms. As mentioned in my wall post, my timezone is a bit wonky and so are my activity times. Sometimes I do forget a reply so a poke is very much welcomed but please keep it to the one time; I will get annoyed/frustrated otherwise.

Because I can be on the slower side, I'm more then ok if you decide you want to drop the plot; we can always pick it back up(at both of our discretions) later.
