࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ let’s introduce you to wang jihae, they are a twenty-four year old park jimin lookalike living in daemapo apartment complex. this particular cismale has been living in seoul for two years and has gained the title of being the rose-colored glasses during that time, which is probably because of their communicative + self-indulgent, yet unstable + escapist tendencies. not to mention he currently works as a baker, and can been seen hanging around teachaicha in their free time.

wenli was a pastry cook known by her extraordinary wedding cakes ; having her work well recognized in hong kong, it wasn’t long before she wanted to grow in value and this was how she ended up at conferences all over asia. in a more special one, she met kim jongsuk, a son of a respected ceo in seoul, and then began their short love story.
jongsuk was about to take over his father’s company, and wenli needed to get back to hong kong when they discovered the pregnancy. and that was how jihae was born : in a not very conventional family, but it was what he had and appreciated the most. although far away, his father never lacked & his mother took cared for him as a good mama bear that she was.
grew in the middle of the flour. literally. his mother decided to take root after a few years and bought her first bakery specializing in wedding cakes and it was exactly from there that jihae’s love was born. he wanted to make brides thrill with the cakes he’d create in the future on the happiest days of their lives.
it wasn’t long before his father announced he’d get married. and to everyone’s surprise, it was wenli who proposed to make the wedding cake. jihae didn’t know, but if he suspected that this would be his last event closer to his mother in a healthy way he’d have made the most of it. after that, they received a diagnosis of breast cancer. it was a battle for a year and six months before the woman lost it bravely.
jihae didn’t let himself be shaken by it, he had his mourning time, but he knew his mother wouldn’t want him to focus too much on his pain. so he decided to occupy his mind, finishing high school with merit and asking his father for an academic exchange in france, to improve his knowledge. after six months very well spent, he spent some time traveling the usa & then decided that his new home would be : seoul.

after moving back to seoul, jihae with the help of his father managed to sell his mother’s belongings, such as the bakery and the house they lived in ( only saving some of the woman’s favorite clothes and jewels as souvenirs ). part of the money he donated to a hospital specializing in curing cancer.
lived with his father and his family for a few months, but they knew it was temporary. since then jihae wanted to buy a place to turn into his own baker, and he knew it was a risk to make it still so young, but he needed to follow his mother’s dream —– and his own dream.
has a very good relationship with his father & his small family, especially his younger step-sister, whom he loves to make candies to and spend time with her whenever he can.

jihae can be classified as someone half-outgoing and half-introverted. he’ll keep quiet in situations he isn’t used to, but around those he’s comfortable with, it’s like a big ass party !
if you want to label him, however, mom friend is probably the best to go.
there’s no bad mood with him, he’s always willing to help his friends and family. and also those who need it. can’t see a street dog that he wants to bring it home, even though he knows he can’t.
despite being very good in the patisserie, kitchen isn’t his forte. complex dishes he prefers to leave for the take out app on his phone.
a flamboyant even if i don’t think that’s the correct term ?? by being raised only by his mother, he grew in greater contact with his sensitive side & giving reason more to the feeling than the concrete ideas inside his mind.
doesn’t have a sexual orientation ? like,, he respects everyone and is fond of getting to know about it, but he doesn’t feel in the place to put himself inside a box like that. he likes the people he likes, he does what he does and that’s it.
tho he’s extremely organized, has a plan for everything and states that everything that happened had a plan and if not, it wasn’t right. doesn’t believe in luck.
workaholic ( !! )
hates people telling him what to do. he knows how to respect opinions, but he’s hard-headed enough to insist on his own idea before giving up and saying he was wrong ( most of the time, he won’t be wrong, so he never needs to show his stubborn side anyways ).
although very sensitive, this side of him is kept shut down. always with a rehearsed smile decorating his face at all times.
l o v e s make up !
if he sleeps at least four hours in one night that’s like a lot inside his head.
is a volunteer in a hospital for children with cancer, and believes that this is one of the means that helps him recover from losing his mother.
can talk all night about literally everything.
well,, he’s a baby. pls love him
