Personality
Keywords: caring, emotional, friendly, genuine, happy, naive, polite, a bit shy.
JaeYoon is a kid. In many ways. He's innocent, naïve, honest, genuine, and while he stops believing that the world is made of cotton candy and sugar at 12, he still believes that people are by nature kind, that good will always triumph over evil, and that God loves all His creations. He's the kind that trusts people very easily and believes that everyone deserves two hundredth chances. He's also sensitive and easily caught in wave of various emotions—and most of the time he openly shows it, which makes him a lousy liar. He's quick to apologize, quick to forgive, and he likes most things. He's also very, very polite and careful.
With all his quirks and naivety, JaeYoon still has a hidden, negatively emotional side he'd prefer to not show to other people, of course; not only because he's embarrassed by it, but also because he doesn't want to trouble people. Also, he's a pushover, yes, bordering on being a doormat.
Jaeyoon might have convinced himself that he was in love with a boy from his old junior high school in Japan. He's still sad about having to move to Korea :( Second Heaven reminds him of good time in Japan, so. ♥
History
JaeYoon came from a rich Korean family of four. His father is a big business owner that for some reason loves to hop countries to conduct business—mostly around Europe and Asia—hence, little JaeYoon and his brother spent most of their early years home-schooled, skipping a grade here and there, and junior high in two different schools. JaeYoon has a perfect heir-material big brother. Approximately five years older, big brother is the epitome of perfect Korean son-in-law—smart, polite, well-groomed, hardworking, affable, worldly, heir of a flourishing business, and, most importantly, straight. Shin boys were raised to be such, and Jay could have easily be another son to be proud about, if only he wasn't [1] naïve, and [2] gay.
Jay has known about his sexuality since he was 13, and while his mom is all right with it, it just isn't a subject to be discussed on or off dinner table. His father and brother mostly pretend as if it doesn't exist—the fact that his brother is the golden boy of the family alleviates the pressure and attention from JaeYoon quite a bit—and that results in them not having a close relationship with Jay. Despite all that, though, JaeYoon has no spite for them; in fact, he was somewhat thankful for his brother for being firstborn.
Earlier this year, the head of Shin family decides to stay for indefinite amount of years in Korea to maintain his business. This means reacquainting with extended family members and colleagues. Daddy is not pleased. Daddy is afraid that the relatives will hear about JaeYoon's "deviance". Hence, daddy decides to send JaeYoon to international boarding school.
JaeYoon knows, but he pretends not to, because acknowledging it means acknowledging that he doesn't like his father—and while that might be half true, JaeYoon is not comfortable admitting it.
