Jaehyun would describe himself as clever and assertive. He is the kind of person who never gives up; extremely stubborn. His diligence is something to be admired, never one to cower from a task, no matter how difficult it may be. Silently helpful, not many people notice how dedicated he can be. Most students perceive him as abrasive, too intense, and rather bossy. However, this is simply because he has trouble communicating; choosing to ignore others when they seem to not understand him, instead of trying once again to get his point across.
Even so, he can be rather arrogant. Jaehyun often believes he’s the only one capable of doing certain tasks. He gets easily annoyed when others make mistakes, and has no qualms letting them know. His crude words have gained him contempt from more than one student.
Having said all that, he can be rather gentle when he is behind closed doors. He really respects his mother, and loves her with all of his heart. Even if he tries to hide it, he has a soft spot for children and small animals.
Jaehyun was nearly a hatstall; the Sorting Hat took exactly four minutes and forty two seconds to decide that he belonged in Hufflepuff. It considered all four houses before making its decision. Jaehyun, even at the young age of 11, was cunning enough to have merited a seat in Slytherin, but he didn’t have the necessary ambition to be a part of it. While he was brave and sometimes even reckless, he lacked the honor that characterizes Gryffindor House. And, undoubtedly, the young Kim was brilliant, but didn’t necessary seek knowledge. However, he was loyal to a fault and a true hard worker. Jaehyun was rather disappointed when the Hat declared he was to be a Hufflepuff; he had been hoping to be a Slytherin, like his mother before him.
When Jaehyun’s mother, Kim Ji-Eun, met her future husband she thought he was a homeless man. To be fair, Kim Seo Joon did look rather disheveled. He had just been kicked out from his apartment by his spiteful ex-girlfriend. He felt betrayed; even though he had been the one to break up with her. There really was no need to kick him out with only the clothes he had on, he thought. After hours of wandering, he had decided to sit down next to a quaint tea shop in Diagon Alley and that’s where Ji-Eun found him.
Nearly half a year later, they were married. They had Jaehyun, and Ji-Eun didn’t think she could be happier. However, their happiness didn’t last. Five years after Jaehyun had been born, both of his parents decided to get divorced. Their fights were almost daily, and they knew it wasn’t healthy for their son. Then, Seo Joon moved out of their shared home.
Jaehyun missed his father dearly at first, but while growing up he wasn’t too affected by their divorce as he continued to see him very often. When the young boy finally turned eleven, he wouldn’t stop asking his parents for stories of Hogwarts. His mother had been a proud Slytherin, while his father had been a quiet Ravenclaw. Ji-Eun’s tales of the underwater common room never failed to bring stars to Jaehyun’s eyes. The whole place sounded like a dream. When the day came for him to leave, their parents cried and the young boy vowed to make them proud.
As a Hogwarts Student, Jaehyun excelled in all of his subjects but barely had any friends. This soured his experiences somewhat, as he had no one to share them with. His successes were often bittersweet and, for many years, what brought joy to his everyday life were the letters his parents sent him weekly.
Relationships: Jaehyun has a beautiful relationship with both of his parents; if overly dependent at times. He is especially fond of his mother, and respects his father a lot.
As said before, he doesn’t have many friends due to his brusque attitude. Unintentionally, he is sometimes rude to strangers without reason. He has never been involved in a romantic relationship; and neither does he want to.
Patronus: He has never been able to conjure a patronus.
Boggart: His parents dead on the ground.
