park jungha, 22. “when he speaks at last, his voice is weary, and defeated. he doesn’t know how to be angry with me, either. we are like damp wood that won’t light.”
hello everyone...!! i'm fifi ( she/her, 21+ ) and i bring to you jungha and hyoseop (zb1riize u are so special to me)! i would love love love to plot with everyone so please feel free to like this post and i'll jump straight into your ims! i always have a twitter and discord available upon request if you'd prefer to plot there!!
i'll start off by introducing my beloved muse, jungha! ex-almost-idol (newave 💔), current part-time tutor & delivery boy who's fluent in korean and ksl!
i have both his profile and bio available but you can find a tl;dr below the cut as well as some fun?? plot ideas!!
profile // bio
fluent in korean & korean sign language! both his father and older brother are deaf, so jungha communicates with them in ksl
really enjoyed music as a kid growing up and dreamt of becoming an idol. his parents, especially his dad was against the idea. they get into a large argument and jungha refuses to acknowledge his dad for weeks.
at 16, his mother passes away. he's devastated.
at 18, he auditions for a company and passes. his father is furious at him, and they fight yet again. they refuse to speak to each other, but only do so when his younger brother gets into big trouble at school. they communicate with one another and jungha's father finally laments, but he tells jungha that he will never truly support him.
he's a decent trainee! gets along well with the other trainees and staff and is known to be friendly and kind. they tell him that he's made the cut to join newave and that they'll be recording their pre-release song 'memories'. jungha is ecstatic. he feels like his dream is finally coming true.
he records memories, and thinks of how amazing it'll be once he finally debuts.
the dream is short-lived. he's pulled out of training one day, and it feels eerily similar to what had happened to him in school, the day his mother passed. the staff inform him that his father is in the hospital.
his dad is in need of a liver transplant, and urgently. he’d gone so long undiagnosed that even the doctors are surprised. jungha is there to sign the whole conversation, terrified by the information that he’s learning. his father had ignored his own ailment, had instead been working longer hours in an attempt to earn more money. jungha feels sick to his stomach.
the doctor explains to jungha that the fastest way to have his father go through the liver transplant is if either jungha or his younger brother decide to be the donor. jungha wastes no time to volunteering himself.
the doctor explains to him that he’ll have to run a few tests, but if the results come back as a match, it’s possible. but he also tells jungha that continuing the life of an idol trainee may be hard for the next few months.
jungha will have to drop out of his company, he’ll have to throw away his one chance at debuting. surprisingly, his father is against the idea. refuses to allow jungha to do this. “you can’t throw away your dream because of me,” he signs. but jungha is stubborn.
it’s fine, he thinks. he’s fine with giving up his dream.
jungha drops out of the company, leaving behind his dream of becoming an idol. maybe it was never meant to be.
the operation, thankfully, goes smoothly. his father never speaks of his idol dream again, but jungha knows that he carries a guilt that he can’t quite explain. he tells his father that it’s alright, jungha is happier this way too – with his father alive and well.
jungha is now a university student, as well as a part-time math tutor and delivery boy. his father continues making his monthly check-ups to the doctor, and jungha continues to strive for a better life.
plot ideas!!!
friends! jungha is really friendly. pretty selfless too, so he'd love to have friends! from uni, or highschool! depending on when they met, they would've known about jungha's stint at the idol life
people that dislike jungha. jungha isn't the type to easily dislike someone but maybe your muse doesn't sit right with him for some reason.
exes! fluff.... angst... anything really please give me exes...
one-sided crushes? jungha has a crush on your muse or your muse has a crush on jungha... maybe he's oblivious, maybe he's not!
newave members that trained with jungha!!
people that recognized jungha ( woah!! ) from the memories pre-release from the time when he was slated to debut with newave
delivery plots! jungha's a delivery boy so he could've delivered something to your muse and friendship ( or more?? ) grows from there!!
