𓋜𓂃𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆. mother , 𝐋𝐈𝐌 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 , the youngest of the lim family , she dreamed of a day to be able to leave isa-ri . a town that she would always complain to her older siblings was too small to contain a person like her there forever . she completed her education with plans to become a kindergarten teacher , but opted to run a small floral shop instead . her father’s side of the family have run a generational farm in the area for years , the results of their harvest typically on nearby dinner tables and stored in grocer fridges .
father , 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐖𝐎𝐍 , the newest owner to take over a generational snack bar , famed for their food ( their motto being ; ‘love tasted with every bite !’ ) , relaxing atmosphere and being open so late . he never had other plans aside from taking over his family business , but that was something he wanted . he met chayoung after she moved to jeju island and became a frequent customer at the store .
shin gunhee is their one and only child , but it never felt lonely with the three of them . in fact , their home was quite lively and full of warmth . his mother decided to pursue teaching once again while his father operated the restaurant . gunhee was raised primarily in 𝗷𝗲𝗷𝘂 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 and took occasional trips to 𝗶𝘀𝗮-𝗿𝗶 for holidays and other family occasions .
( trig. death / murder / serial killings ) when one killing became a small string of them , the public began to grow weary of keeping their windows open at night and staying home alone . it became clear that there was something wrong in their tiny community . while both parents tried to remain calm about the situation , their worries reached a climax when they were confronted . gunhee , at the time , was having a sleepover at a friend's nearby for their birthday party . the next day , he became an orphan .
their tight-knit community is riddled with shockwaves . the shin's were the last of these events ( as evidence was left behind ) and the killer was properly served justice . the snack bar is permanently closed after loyal customers pay their respects , and his mother's classroom is permanently vacant to honor her memory . gunhee , with no contact from his father's side and little contact from his mother's bounced around from one friend to the next . he was taken in with open arms , but none of the houses ever felt like a home again .
the whole time , however , his grandpa was trying to reach him . because he moved around so often , his mother’s father was never able to find a residence he stayed at long enough to locate him . eventually , he does . his grandson is much taller now , finally growing into those ears , with his youngest daughter’s eyes and a nose he remembers his son-in-law having . ' what the fuck is an isa-ri ? ' in which his grandpa , albeit a little caught off guard , reminds him no swear words at dinner . he offers his grandson a permanent place to stay , no more bouncing around , with his actual family . gunhee , although visibly uninterested , joins his grandpa in the journey back to isa-ri / maehwa . 𓋜𓂃𝖆𝖇𝖔𝖚𝖙. shin gunhee arrived to isa-ri approximately a year ago , settling into his mother's hometown . prior to moving to isa-ri , gunhee was living last in busan with a childhood friend . his arrival is basically a walking hazard sign to the natives of isa-ri : arms faded and scattered with several tattoos , piercings lining his left ear , and a look that could make a plant wilt . his grandpa can't control him either , a look of sheer disappointment when his grandchild arrives back in the evening with disheveled hair and a bleeding lip ( " no one told them to LOOK at me that way " / " they were reading the old sign behind you, gunhee " ) or the scent of smoke seeping out his upstairs room . also notably spent time sneaking out / in places after hours , etc . at one point , his grandpa seriously considers moving out in a place where gunhee would thrive more ( he's tired of hearing new stories about his grandson after delivering produce at the market ) until he considers the circumstances , and believes what he needs is more consistency and routine . he starts off first by teaching gunhee the art of boxing , an old love of his ( formerly known as isa-ri’s very own lightweight champion back in the day ) as a way to redirect his anger and letting him get accustomed to the new faces by participating in small and local underground events , typically winning most of them . eventually , gunhee begins accompanying his grandpa to the market and farms and getting to learn more about the little town his mother once called home . nights aren't so tense and don't end up in verbal matches from his end anymore , instead they spend time out on the porch or visiting places his mom used to go to . the little small town that he vowed to burn down only provides much needed comfort and relief . fast forward a handful of months ago — shin gunhee just started college after settling on a major ( aka absolutely losing his mind for three hours straight while his grandpa attempts to look through foggy glasses and read major descriptions ) and takes courses online . previously , he worked alongside his grandpa on the shin farm , particularly overseeing the business side of it and stayed in a small separate house on the farm / behind the main house . it's a routine gunhee has eased into considerably well , but his grandpa decides it's best for him to get out and see the world a little . after accepting a part-time gig at isa-ri's pharmacy , gunhee moves into the maehwa mansion sharehouse to live out whatever this little place can offer him . a lot cool headed than his first arrival , but he can have a rather short fuse . there's an anger that's always present in his eyes , emotional and quick to react . definitely more approachable and more easygoing , but that can partially be contributed to the fact he's got some sort of handle on his life now . despite that , not the sweetest cookie in the cookie jar </3 visits isa-ri often , and tends to linger behind on weekends at his grandpa's . works part-time and often just goes to work on foot , but will bike if the shift is too early or late or will steal his grandpa's car for the day . not really the best worker ( aka his ten minute breaks borderline on twentyfive and he gets high out in the back ) but he can point a person to where the bandaids and mouthwash is , so it's chill . his grandpa's produce appears in a few places around maehwa mansion ( park's supermarket and soban restaurant ) due to the proximity and also the fact their family have been providing produce to the surrounding areas for quite some time now . has transitioned into smoking ~magical lettuce~ primarily , but will grab a cig ( dunhill superslims only ) if there's nothing else , and one typically sits behind his ear at most times . solid doodler , enjoys midday naps , and super spontaneous plans with friends . has a pet rat named 𝐒𝐎𝐌 that his grandpa is greatly disturbed by ( despite the fact he asked gunhee to leave som behind for company when he moved out, but anyways ) . takes a hit every time he hears weird shit in front of his room . gunhee is sort of creeping into dealing with his parents passing — not really a linear process , sometimes he can deal with unfolding it and other times he doesn't want to think about it at all . still not at the point to discuss it with others . however , the move to isa-ri and now maehwa have been proven healthy for him , and he’s much more himself than before . externally this and internally this basically sums gunhee up .
