JAEYONG'S PROMPT ANSWERS

when did your muse first arrive in yuseong bay? "about the time my mom and dad brought me home from the hospital in jeju city, haha. i'm a lifelong resident; spent my childhood on these farms and beaches and woodlands. i don't think i'd have it any other way, though."

what does an average day look like for your muse? "basically as soon as my eyes open, i'm heading out to check on the bees. it's almost time to relocate them to their natural hives since winter is essentially over, so i like to see how they're doing in the morning when it's cooler. after i tend to them for awhile, i head in and get dressed and then i ride my bike over to andante for some coffee and a pastry. it's kind of a ritual. after breakfast, i head back home and check on the bees again. i might do some weeding around their area or even mow the grass around there. if it's a market stall day, then i'll collect some of the surplus honey and jar it up before heading over to the stall and stocking it up. i'll hang around there for a few hours before, you guessed it, i head back home and tend to my honeybees. it's a tough job, but someone has to do it."

where can your muse usually be found? "at home in my garden, which is where my hives happen to be. if i'm not there, i'm probably at the farmer's market or even the beach."

how does your muse feel about hanhwa resort? "please know that i don't use his word lightly, but ... i hate it. little by little, they are ruining this town. not every natural space has to become a concrete jungle, and that's exactly where i see this going. there are important farms and homes and ecosystems here that they disrupt with their very presence. i have no ill will towards the rank and file employees, they're just doing their job. but the corporate entities that oversee hanhwa? yeah, they're not exactly my favorite people."

is there an aspiration for your muse to stay in or leave yuseong bay? "i have no desire to leave this town. it's my home; it always has been and it always will be. i'll leave the rest of the world for everyone else. you can find me here when you're done."

list your muse's three favorite songs. gold by wave to earth, wildflower & barley by hozier, dust & gold by arrows to athens.

describe your muse's wardrobe. likes comfortable sweaters and cargo pants, so he can carry his keys, phone, wallet and whatever else he needs without bringing extra storage. lots of cuffed jeans, college sweatshirts, loose cardigans and t-shirts. also owns a few soft yellow bee suits that see a lot of use considering his job.

what is a color, word, and emoji that you feel describes your muse? i think the perfect color for jaeyong is a natural soft yellow or gold that mimics early morning sunlight. his associated word would have to be eudaimonia. his most fitting emoji would likely be 🐝.

three strong likes and dislikes for your muse. likes: fresh honey, soft sweaters & acoustic guitars. dislikes: arguing, harsh chemicals & feeling pressured.

three positive and negative traits for your muse. positive: gentle, compassionate & insightful. negative: obsessive, aimless, timorous.

three talents and shortcomings for your muse. he's very skilled at caring for bees and at entomology in general. he shares empathy even for the smallest insects and tries to help as many thrive as he can, short of damaging or invasive species. he's fairly charming when it comes to selling honey too, and he sells his charisma almost as much as the product. he's also a very skilled guitar player, and can sometimes be found strumming away in his room in between yard mowing breaks. he can be completely spineless when it comes to people, however, and telling them what he really thinks. he's also a little single-minded when it comes to his lifestyle; the success of his hive is seemingly always at the forefront of his mind and it can lead to him neglecting other aspects of his life. jaeyong is very simplistic too, almost to a fault. he doesn't really aim for much in the way of success and rejects a lot of complicated technologies.

what is a book/tv series/movie/video game character that you feel your character relates to? i would most likely compare him to pierre from stardew valley, at least loosely. i also feel like he's a bit like arrietty from the secret world of arrietty!

a relevant goal or arch for your character to overcome. i'd love for his distaste for hanhwa to come to a head in some way, whether that be him just accepting it in the long run or actually doing something about it. maybe his happy-go-lucky nature gets tested like never before and he does something underhanded, and then has to spend his time making up for it? i'd also like to build on his confidence a bit, and make him a little more comfortable speaking up. and then there's the whole obsessing over his bees thing. i would love for him to strike a good balance between his work and the people in his life rather than focusing all his attention on the former.
