02z as popular romance tropes
*i actually saw another post on this topic (this one) and i thought it was super cute, wanted to put my own little spin on it!
JAY as 'Secret Billionare'
wants to be acknowledged for his own efforts and hard work
is actually quite sheltered and innocent (very earnest!)
too generous for his own good and can be gullible
is embarrassed about coming from a rich family (but not of his family, if that makes sense)
likes to appear down to earth (and he is!), but is fond of material goods (unless you're trained to spot legit high-end brand names, you'd never know that he was loaded)
doesn't keep his wealth a secret on purpose, he genuinely thinks that his father's wealth doesn't define him (and he's right!)
will spoil you with his own money that he'd worked hard for
JAKE as 'Childhood Friends To Lovers'
your mother's friend's son, someone that you can be comfortable around
very playful, but can be nervous around you
the type of person who would remember small things about you that you wouldn't expect anyone to remember
would be very aware of his feelings for you, but can be too shy to act on them and may flake out (will kick himself for it tho)
the kind of guy who might stutter or get his words mixed up when he's talking to you (the person he likes)
would probably try to ignore his feelings for you in order to save the friendship, but would ultimately fail
it'd be a bit obvious that he likes you...
can finally relax when you guys get together because now he doesn't have to worry about hiding his feelings
SUNGHOON as 'Best Friendโs Brother'
your best friend's older brother
really gorgeous, but a bit intimidating at first
the type of person to know when someone's crushing on him, but is kind enough to ignore it if they're shy / to keep the peace
can also be a bit shy and awkward himself
like enha likes to say, he's a very warm (sweet, caring, and playful) type of guy when you get to know him better (his genuine smile can and will cause global warming)
his teasing style is very โolder brother to a girlโ coded (canon) & he will tease you without hesitation
falling for each other would be effortless, how you get together however... might be a hurdle depending on his sister's reaction
if there was a fight between you and his little sister, he'd choose you, but he'd sulk about it (he'd want you two to make up)
