minjeong is the only child of a well-off, supportive family. though her parents love her dearly, they travel often for work, leaving her to be primarily raised by her grandmother. her family had long expected a son to continue the lineage, and with her mother unable to have more children, minjeong became the reluctant heir to their legacy. while her parents encourage her to follow her own path, her grandmother holds more traditional views, subtly pushing expectations onto her. despite this, her home life remains warm, and she deeply respects her parents, even if she struggles with the silent pressure of filling a role she never chose.

growing up, minjeong was a quiet but curious child, always drawn to books and classical music. she found comfort in horseback riding, an activity her grandmother introduced her to as a means of discipline, but over time, she grew to love it. with her parents often away, she learned early on how to be independent, finding solace in solitude and select friendships.

adolescence

in her teenage years, she became more composed and self-reliant. while never rebellious, she quietly resisted being molded into something she wasn’t. she pursued her own interests while remaining respectful of her grandmother’s expectations, carefully balancing personal aspirations with familial duty.

a defining moment came when she overheard her grandmother lamenting her birth to another family member, speaking as though minjeong was merely an unfortunate circumstance. while her grandmother still treated her kindly in public, minjeong could never unhear those words, making her wary of people's true intentions. since then, she’s learned to keep a polite distance, guarding herself from forming deep attachments too quickly.

she fears that if people get too close, they might see her as something inadequate, just like her grandmother once did. so, she chooses to remain poised, collected, and slightly detached, never cold enough to push others away completely, but never vulnerable enough to let them in without caution.

and then there is him. someone who does not ask her to fit. someone who lingers just long enough to notice the weight she carries. maybe he understands, or maybe he just wants to. either way, it is the first time she has met someone who sees her for what she is, not what she should have been.

notes:

• open ending, romance is not necessary.

• open for some tweaking upon discussion.

and then there is them.

too loud. too persistent. unbothered by the walls she never intended to build. they keep sitting next to her. keep talking. keep making her life more colorful, more exhausting, more...

she sighs. "you're annoying."

they grin. "yeah, but you’d miss me if i left."

she does not respond. because maybe, just maybe, they are right.

notes:

• open for tweaking upon discussion!

and then, a name. a childhood nickname only one person ever called her.

she had a friend once. someone who knew her before expectations, before duty. someone who saw her as just minjeong. no titles. no weight to carry.

but time is unkind. people change. so why does it feel like nothing has?

"you don't remember, do you?"

maybe she does. maybe she just does not want to hope.

notes:

• open for some changes upon discussion.

minjeong’s admission into cheongdam academy was never a matter of if, but when. born into a family with deep ties to diplomacy and international affairs, her acceptance was expected, secured by both legacy and influence. while she never flaunted her background, it was impossible to escape the weight of her surname. professors knew of her family long before she stepped foot in the academy, and whispers of her lineage followed her through the halls. despite this, she carried herself with quiet grace, never one to rely on privilege alone. she excelled not because she had to, but because she refused to be seen as just another chaebol daughter coasting on her family’s name. even if the world assumed her path was paved in gold, minjeong knew better.. respect was something she had to earn on her own terms.
