Kye Soongi
Male Cinderella

Personality

Sweet, Sincere, and Sarcastic are three words to describe Soongi. A kind-hearted soul who'd be willing to help anyone, he's usually a selfless person and looks to help others over himself. Many tend to take advantage of this quality despite the sincerity behind his actions which leads him to be quite doubtful of people's trustworthiness, even though he would still help someone either way. His kindness taken for granted, and his tendency to get used over and over again, he uses sarcasm as a coping mechanism to keep himself sane.
Soongi tends to have more feminine traits with his optimistic attitude, kind actions, and strong will. He's also very witty and clever, opting to use the resources around him to make his situations more bearable. He uses dreams to cope with the harsh reality of his life and will forever stay optimistic and stronghearted. He's always grateful for what he has and how far he's managed to get in his life.
Soongi doesn't like to depend on other people for things, not so much for his pride, but more because he feels like a burden to other people. He'll never ask for anything from another person unless he knows that he can pay that person back and will deny help from others if he feels like it'll be a waste of their time. He's not necessarily introverted but is so used to being alone that he doesn't really seek the presence of others although he wouldn't mind having it.
Delicate and sensitive, Soongi is very emotional and doesn't take traumatizing events well, leading to panic attacks and a mild case of PTSD. In front of others, he always wears a smile to inspire people to stay strong despite his own situation. Alone, he breaks down entirely into a mess of sobbing and tears.

History

Something in Park Victoria knew ahead of time, that her relationship with Ahn Jinho was going to go somewhere fucked up real soon, so she sought compensation for herself. She met a handsome businessman named Kye Hancheol at a party for the company she worked under, Songbird, and got to know him. She knew him prior to that encounter, as they'd met on her honeymoon as well, and she was kind of hoping to run into him.
She and Hancheol dated in secret, enjoying each other's company and eventually falling in love. Hancheol made her an offer: If she divorced Jinho, he would marry her and give her a future with real love and many possibilities. It was something she couldn't resist, but unfortunately, the birth of Byungcheol crushed her dreams. She confided in Hancheol and he comforted her but their happiness was cut short.
Jinho, having gotten word of their relationship, was furious. He forced Victoria to drug and rape Hancheol in their next encounter, leaving both heartbroken and the former pregnant. Deciding she didn't want her second child with Hancheol in a household with such an unstable stepfather, she delivered her baby in secret and made him promise to watch over the child.
Kye Soongi was born on September 7th of the following year. As promised, Hancheol took him in, and his mother stayed with him for two months while Jinho was on a business trip. Soongi lived a happy and comfortable life with Hancheol. He was a bright and giggly baby who was always exploring. Most of the time, Hancheol couldn't bring himself to leave Soongi, so he tried to stay home as much as possible.
He adopted a kitten and a puppy for Soongi and found himself watching the child entertain himself with the pets. When Soongi entered grade school, he was smaller than the other children but held a heart of gold and would help his classmates whenever he could. He made many friends from this and enjoyed the company they brought him. He especially enjoyed inviting them over to Hancheol's ~~castle~~ mansion to play.
Life changed drastically when he hit fifth year in primary school. The kids there were snarkier, more selfish, and looking for anyone they could lord over. Naturally, Soongi was an easy target for his selfless and naive nature. He was bullied into becoming an errand boy and constantly embarrassed in front of the student body. The one friend he had committed suicide in year Seven and he was left to enter Secondary school broken and without hope.
A group of upperclassmen girls used him as their puppet and he was the punching bag for the male students in his year. In his second year of high school, he encountered a girl named Jasper St. Clair who seemed like a decent person at the time. She used him though, befriending him and ruining his father's business plans before dumping the blame on him and leaving him a bout of helplessness, showered in disappointment from his father.
It was the one thing that truly made him furious. That a bitch like Jasper could get away with things like that with no regard for others. She disappeared that summer though, even though he could hardly care less. His father bought an apartment in Central City for him, stating that if he wasn't going to attend boarding school he needed to be closer to the public school there. Soongi grudingly accepted his father's help but found his own means to pay the rent. As a third year, he spends his time between school, work, and home.

Relationships

**FATHER (Kye Hancheol)**
He loves his father and would do anything to make him proud. He wishes he could be closer to Hancheol, but the damage to their relationship has yet to be healed. He doesn't speak to his father as frequently anymore because his father has been asking a lot of questions about his condition lately.
**MOTHER (Ahn Victoria)**
He's never met her and can't since she's dead now, but Hancheol used to tell him stories about their dates, how sweet of a woman she was and how she never deserved her fate. He wants to be able to see her.
**JASPER ST CLAIR**
He can't bring himself to hate her, but he dislikes her deeply and acknowledges that some part of him would like to see her suffer.
