BACKGROUND:
from a young age, there was always an expected amount of pressure placed on the eldest son of the rhee family to be something great. his parent’s only had good intentions, knowing that junho was intelligent enough to be successful in whatever he did. above all, the rhee’s were good people, kindhearted at their core, and it was always instilled in him to be a helping hand in this world.
he’d always been naturally protective of his siblings, but when hana became a rhee, it was instinctual for junho to pay her extra attention, seeing her as another little sister of his right from the start. in his teenage years, he was a studious person, mainly focused on his academics with the exception of being on the swim team. science had always been his best subject, and considering that he liked helping people, junho decided that he wanted to become a doctor from early on.
after graduating at the top of his class in high school, he went on to attend john hopkins for both his undergrad and med school. it was in college where he met the woman he’d fall in love with, and eventually marry while he was in med school. she graduated long before he was done with his education, and after a couple years in med school, the two tied the knot and began living together, his wife beginning work while he remained in school. after graduating, and deciding where he wanted to do his residency, the two decided to move back to his hometown of nightrest, missing the feeling of family and the town he’d always known.
it was his ambition that caused the cracks to form in their relationship. junho wanted to be the best at what he did, working long hours on top of having a demanding job, and over time, the two eventually grew apart as each year passed. she’d eventually grown tired of his absence, and asked for a divorce. on the inside, it broke junho’s heart to see what his marriage had become, but he signed the papers amicably, feeling as though a part of him had also drifted apart from her. he’d never been unfaithful, but to say his love for her was as strong as when they’d first met would be a lie.
after being newly single, he found himself initially diving headfirst into his work, letting it take over his life and only ever seeking out the occasional drunken hookup. it took him a few years to open up again to the idea of a relationship, only having been with one person seriously after his divorce. with another relationship that somewhat left him feeling hurt, he doesn’t feel nearly as inclined to try again, instead being labeled as a workaholic at the hospital, often found in his office doing research for a new project when he isn’t in surgery.
HEADCANONS
definitely does not consider himself young anymore, so he does try his best to stay in good health considering he knows all about the consequences (eating healthy, working out daily, etc)
firm in his beliefs, has never been the type to be swayed, and as a result, he can come off as rigid and strict at times, especially when work is involved
has never thought about having children, as he’s always been to busy to consider being a father, but best believe he is uncle of the year to his niece. gets along well with kids and is prone to spoiling them.
he is however a cat father to three beautiful cats so you can basically call him a dilf <3
is a social person, does like to go out to bars occasionally when he's not busy with work, and does like to relax at the right time and place.
considering he works as a neurosurgeon in a small town, junho has made most of his money through his research and projects, often having attended conferences at larger hospitals to discuss his work. he’s well off at this point of his life, and doesn’t have a desire to leave nightrest behind seeing as it’s where his entire family is
is a very clean cut person, takes pride in his appearance and never looks tired or sloppy. keeps a simple sense of style and firmly believes in a good skin care routine.
has a tendency to maintain a clean area around him, his home always dust-free and pristine even with the many book-filled shelves in his house. he can’t stand when there are messes or germs around him.
