tw: abuse. the following are undisclosed to the public and your muse may only know of them if it’s plotted between us muns or if hyungwon told them himself

• too lanky, too pretty, too soft; these were traits his father absolutely detested in hyungwon and would beat him up for during his youth. his father absolutely hated the fact that hyungwon was not built the way he always envisioned his son to be and disliked the fact that hyungwon, from an early age, was very interested and invested in fashion instead of business. often times, his father would blame this on hyungwon’s mother who introduced him to the world of it

• hyungwon changes his legal name from chae hansol to chae hyungwon as soon as he moves to seoul for university in 2011. he only introduced himself as ‘raphael’ when needed for an english name

• a year after he moves to seoul for college, hyungwon’s father visits him (2012); but instead of checking up on his son, he scolds and looks down at what he’s doing, claiming that he’s choosing the wrong path. it’s then that hyungwon cuts ties with the man
