born into wealth, boo jonghyeon was fed with a silver spoon. both parents renowned in the world of the arts, it was only natural for the same path to be carved for himself, just as it had been for his older sibling, boo sol-ip. while they pursued acting, music was more jonghyeon's speed, later discovering that he had a natural aptitude for singing and playing the piano.
with the parents being the way they were, they did make him take on more than he could handle, while neglecting to pay any attention to the symptoms of autism he'd been exhibiting for a prolonged period. despite being spoken to by the nanny and teachers alike, they didn't give it much thought. parents of the year.
the meltdowns just meant bad behaviour to them, and it wouldn't reach the climax until he was in the first grade when the parents had taken their second child prodigy out to a gathering with other sensations and their own gifted children. the whole thing was extreme sensory overload for the six year old, and his ignored pleas led to boiling over under the scrutinizing eyes of moneybags; a scene of hysterics and lashing out.
shortly after his diagnosis, his mother left the picture. time moved forward, and so did his musical prowess. the piano came to be the thing that he loved the most, proceeding in lessons for many consecutive years, going on to win various awards and medals in regional competitions.
his father, who changed his methods and behaviour after the long overdue realization hit him, eventually remarried; the family grew larger. now he had two sisters (one of them being our beloved willow), and three cousins from hong kong that came to visit often. at fourteen, nikolai moved into the household.
years later, just days after his twenty-second birthday, he was involved in a severe car accident that he was lucky to have survived. their left leg had to be amputated at the scene, and they had to have multiple surgeries for other major injuries. sustaining a brain injury that gave him post-traumatic amnesia, the following months were extremely arduous as the healing process began.
the prosthesis took time to get used to, and there were periods where his other leg locked up or grew weak, resulting in collapses, along with episodes of syncope and phantom pain; navigating everything became more difficult, but he manages it the best he can, with the support of his loved ones.
it was thanks to his loved ones that he was finally able to get out of the abusive relationship he had been in for a good part of his early-twenties; they assisted with getting him a restraining order and relocated to jeju island from seoul, eventually giving vegas a try, as it was where some family members moved to.
HEADCANONS
he has a few little critters for emotional support. just has a farm of the randomest creatures. DO NOT STEP ON BUGS AROUND THEM. BUGS ARE FRIENDS.
he doesn't really do well in social situations; he's the type of person to just be there and let everyone else do the talking; he straight up doesn't talk unless he's with someone he knows. very softspoken. if you ask him to speak up, he will not <3
despite not talking much when they aren't in the comfort of friends, their personality shines when he does; (fnaf phone guy vc: the animatronics do get a bit quirky at night) he's just a silly little guy. a creacher if u will. they will go on about the weirdest shit and act like nothing happened. epitome of "he quiet unless he know u fr" tiktok sound.
outside of music, jonghyeon is very interested in botany. his living space is always full of various plants, and he tends to them lovingly, even giving pups to their friends.
extremely sensitive and very crying in the chili's core.
pls come luv him he is. softest bean
