hey, hey, hey! you may call me nin (s/th, 21+) and i'm here to introduce park jiwon, a little math genius that turned out to be a teacher because of (mostly) connections and also because he never really held any high expectations nor ambitions about himself; calls that being realistic/pragmatic but it could be argued that he does lean a little more to the pessimistic side. however he does like teaching and he (somewhat— mostly) loves his students no matter how much he complains about teenage antics; rich teenage antics to be more specific (he gets to call his students spoiled brats, you do not).
park jiwon. 30 y/o. high school (math) teacher at a prestigious private school for the rich (honestly sometimes he questions how he got this job but here he is) and has the cutest cat called gureum (because she looks like a cloud 🥹) to keep him company.
born from parents that were too busy with work to have a kid but wanted one anyway because it felt "right" (which is still beyond him considering how having a kid is expensive and his family has always been maybe high middle class at most), so he's mostly raised by the nice lady next door until he learned and managed things on his own which was definitely a little too early for a person anyway, but alas.
that's why he has the self sufficient kid syndrome™ to this day and struggles to ask for help/rely on someone else even when it's obvious he can't handle things on his own. a little touch/attention-starved as well, definitely lonely but then again sort of learned how to deal with it on his own.
a big hypocrite though; will never ask for help but then will scold anyone that tries to pull this same shit because in the end he's a very caring person and likes to look after the people around him. his love language is tough love.
was known to be a little standoffish when a kid mostly because he was brutally honest and blunt so he made a lot of them cry, help KJHSDKFJH however that surely mellowed down as he grew older, even more so when he started dealing more and more with people that didn't have their personality fully formed yet and were very sensitive to his words (aka teenagers). he can still be rude brutally honest and blunt but he sort of has a sense to not cross the line now.
has always been good with numbers, basically a walking calculator (even when he doesn't always get the exact number, his answers are scarily close to it anyway) and just math in general came very easily to him, but pretty average at anything else; used to tutor his friends who recommended him to other friends and that's sort of how the word got around about him; also ended up winning a couple of math competitions which got him his scholarship for some elite university, got a master and phd degree too.
(ironically never moved out from the megabuildings and probably never will tbh; very very very very in favor of the status quo because one he doesn't like changes and two he's in a privileged/comfortable position in a way, but it's also because he has a tendency to follow the rules more than to break them; he likes routine, he likes monotony, he likes stability).
that's how he ends up meeting the connections that recommended him for the job that he has today and well that's sort of where he is.
can be a little intimidating at first glance because he usually looks like he's in a bad mood all the time and sometimes even acts as such, but it isn't as bad when someone actually approaches him, even more so if they're looking for his help.
as a good aries, he does have a temper but it's usually tempered down by the earth signs in his map and, despite appearances, it's hard to get him genuinely angry/upset at someone or something. though he still can be methodical and gets annoyed when someone critics his way of doing things even (more so) when they're right.
has a weird relationship with his parents because they never really argued (because they were never present enough to do even that help) and they are nice and supportive and whatnot whenever they remember they have a kid, but it's still a little strained?? awkward?? jiwon feels like they're more like nice strangers than anything else.
an introvert that adopts other introverts (or anyone else) because he has the habit of pulling people under his wing even if just looks like he's nagging them all the time and that he hates their very existence (he really doesn't).
plot ideas !
someone who likes to grocery shop with him! he isn't a cheapskate but he has a phd in math so ofc that he's going to do a cost-benefit analysis of the price of everything he's buying even if it takes him some extra time while shopping and you like to tag along to see which sales are actually worth it and which aren't!
someone to petsit his cat! he knows that technically there's no need for that because his cat isn't an actual animal but he did choose an affectionate and calm temperament for gureum so sometimes he does feel bad about leaving her alone for most of the day more often than not.
or someone who only hangs out with jiwon because they're in love with his cat. he honestly doesn't mind because again they keep gureum company when he can't, though sometimes he does feel a little jealous/like they're trying to steal his cat away from him.
jiwon honestly only bothers to look pristine when it's something work-related, otherwise he prioritizes comfort and practicality above anything else, so maybe someone who gets a whiplash with his change of styles??? maybe even think that he has a rich twin or whatever. 50/50 chances that jiwon won't correct them because it's too troublesome or he'll get super annoyed at the perspective of his more casual fashion being so horrendous that people can't believe he's able to dress well when he wants to LOL
(maybe someone who thinks it's a waste that he's so handsome but dresses the way he does 90% of the time so they try to give him a makeover??)
still on misunderstandings; maybe someone who doesn't believe he has the work that he does considering that he seems to carry a pretty average life but also how to explain the expensive suits/formal clothes and accessories that he owns? so they think that's just a super elaborated excuse to hide what he actually does— a high end escort???? someone old and filthy rich person's secret sugar baby??? maybe he's part of some illegal money earning organization/business??? still 50/50 chance that he'll just let them be with their assumptions esp when it possibly results in amusing shenanigans or he'll be offended because does he really not look capable of getting the job that he does???
also!! someone that is family with the nice lady who raised him until he sort of started raising himself?? someone who didn't have a choice but be friends with him even though he could be so annoying help KHDFKH someone that might've not gotten along well with him in the beginning and they might still bicker (or surprisingly not) with each other more than anything else but they're also family so jiwon will die and kill for them; bring them homemade food at 3 in the morning because they had a sudden craving even though he has work early the next day, so on and on.
childhood friends (or enemies considering his personality) in general / exes / university friends / neighbors / coworkers / older siblings and/or parents of the kids that he teaches / fellow teachers but not necessarily from the same school / cousins?? from either side of his family / someone who uses him as their personal calculator LOL / (university) students that he tutors on the side or just someone that he teaches on the side regardless of the reason / i'll add more as i think of them!
