She's All That...Or Not.

SUMMARY: While balancing school life and preparation for her group's debut, LEV8's maknae Chaewon deals with some trouble at school that has her feeling down. WARNINGS: Bullying, depression, anxiety, vomiting CHARACTERS: Chaewon (LEV8), Yuna (Classmate), Binna (Classmate), and Boram (Classmate).

Chaewon was definitely a bubbly and outgoing person. It's why her members liked her so much and why she became such a popular contestant on girls planet 999. But after months of preparation for their upcoming debut along with struggling to keep up in school, the maknae had grown tired and withdrawn from her peers. She interacted with people nonstop every day since she became a trainee so while at school, she had developed a more quiet personality to keep her focus on her work, which had begun to suffer.

Unfortunately, some of the other students didn't like that.

Chaewon sat at her desk tapping her pencil against her notebook as she read over her math notes. There were whispers two desks down that weren't quite so discreet. "She thinks she's all that because she is an idol trainee. I mean, everybody is a trainee these days so who cares? We had three just last year!" Yuna murmurs to her friend Binna, who nods in agreement as she pushes her glasses up her nose, her eyes narrowing at Chaewon. "I know! And did you see her on that rigged produce knockoff? She was so full of herself and kept telling everyone what to do! How annoying!" Binna spat out.

Chaewon froze and bit her lip as she took in the girl's words. Alone, it was hard for her to not take things like that to heart. Her members always had her back and knew the power of evil editing. They supported her. Everyone else only saw and believed what was portrayed on television. Her intentions were always good and if other people needed some guidance, why would she turn them down? She liked to help and she felt if she said no, people would still think of her as aloof and too good for others.

"She's not that pretty. Boram-Unnie is so much nicer to look at and has a much better personality too!" Yuna adds, referencing the class president who was standing at the front discussing some things with their teacher. Chaewon looked up at Boram, frowning slightly as her pencil dropped onto her notebook.

"She'll never debut. Like the industry is oversaturated with loser idol groups as it is. What a waste of her youth. She should have stuck with acting! At least that is a more respectable career path." Binna's voice is almost venomous, making Chaewon flinch as if she had been bitten. She raised her hand, asking to use the restroom before quickly getting up and heading for the door. As she passed Binnas desk, the girl carefully nudges her bookbag with her foot and Chaewon trips over it and lands on her knee, wincing and crying out.

"Oh my god! Are you alright?" Yuna gasps, rushing over to pretend to help her up only to pinch Chaewons arm hard before gripping it even harder hard to "assist" her.

Chaewon whimpers, her eyes teary as she quickly pushed herself up. "I'm fine. Sorry for causing a disturbance," she says softly, trying to ignore the curious looks of the other students. During filming for girls planet, she hadn't attended school and instead advantage of the tutors the show and her company provided.

She was beginning to miss those days.

Now with elevate promoting the girls more for their debut, she had started getting some rather unwanted attention from a select few students at school.

The teacher hushed everyone as murmurs grew louder and Chaewon immediately pulls her arm free before rushing out of the restroom. As soon as the bathroom door shut behind her, she ran into a stall and threw up her breakfast before sliding down the wall and burying her head in her hands. That's how nervous the girls made her. She couldn't understand why Binna and Yuna were so mean to her. Chaewon had never done anything to hurt them that she knew of. Why did they hate her so much?

As she cried softly, the bathroom door squeaked open and the patter of footsteps echoed and stopped in front of the stall she was in. There was a light knock on the door followed by a familiar voice, "Chaewon, is everything okay? The teacher wanted me to check on you. Is it your period again? Should I take you to the Nurse?" It was Boram, thankfully. Chaewon couldn't help but chuckle softly as she stood up and unlocked the door.

The class president was polished, punctual, and soft-spoken but confident. Her family was very rich and respected in the community and provided a lot for the school. Most students looked up to her and admired her. She also had three younger siblings whom she loved more than anything.

"I'm fine, Unnie. Thank you. I'm just a little dehydrated." She says, putting on a more cheerful demeanor. Boram looked at her skeptically before reaching for her hair, pouting. "You've thrown up. Let me help you clean your hair," she says, helping the younger girl to the sink, gently washing and rinsing the strands with vomit with the tenderness of a mother with her child.

"If you're dehydrated, you should see Miss Song. Throwing up at the same time is not good for your body!" She is insistent about her seeing the Nurse. "They overwork you so much at those companies. It's awful."

Chaewon immediately shook her head. Elevate took great care of their trainees and Jieun and Hyunwoo was very diligent about their artist's health and well-being, unlike her previous company. "It's not that! They're very good at taking care of us. It's my fault. Really. I've been having trouble focusing on school work and training that I sometimes forget to stay hydrated." It was true - especially now when her mind was constantly split between debuting and her CSATS.

"I can tutor you! I have no issues with that if you need a little help. You're a smart student, Chaewon. You just need a little assistance prioritizing and staying on track. It can be hard on your own." Boram was genuine and kind and just like Chaewon, always up to help everybody. Even with all her class president duties, she was far better at time management than most people their age.

"I can help you study at your company if that helps. My parents can get me special privileges." It wasn't bragging but the truth - they held a lot of weight in Seoul.

Chaewon rinsed her mouth out, running a hand through her hair before looking at Boram's reflection in the mirror. "I...If it's not a burden, I suppose I could use a bit of tutoring, honestly. I can give you my manager's number so your parents can have a chat with her, yeah?"

Boram's face lit up and she nods, taking out her phone and quickly tapping in both Chaewons and the manager's number. "I'll contact her tonight, okay? Now sit with me at lunch so I can make sure you drink plenty of water and stay healthy for your training and studying."

Boram sure was persistent but truthfully, Chaewon didn't mind. She had become so secluded at school the past couple of years. She had felt so empty without her members or the other trainees whom she had been around nearly every day since and figured now was the time to let someone new in.

Could this be the start of a beautiful friendship?

She thought to herself, a smile appearing on her face as she followed Boram back to the classroom, a pep in her step as she walked.

A/N - edited a little bit and also I’m not some top notch writer but yeah, here is a peak into our precious chaewonnie (more to come as well as this is apart of her backstory).

[LEV8] Oh, Chaewon Files: Connections

Below are characters involved with LEV8s maknae Oh, Chaewon. While not the primary focus, they do play some sort of role in her backstory in life and are featured in writings about her.

Name: Park Boram

Date Of Birth: November 20th, 2004 (17)

Relation: Friend, Classmate & Class President

Background: Boram comes from a chaebol family who are well respected within Seoul and throughout South Korea. As a result, she is quite popular in school. Many would comment that she is very smart, hard-working, kind, well organized, and nurturing. She has three younger siblings that she absolutely adores and is often taking care of them while their parents are busy working. A lot. Like Chaewon, she is keen to help others and is also very cheerful and compassionate so the two clicked instantly.

Names:  Lee Yuna (L) & Cho Binna (R) Ages: 17 & 16 Relation: Classmates & Bullies Background: Yuna is your typical mean girl who gets a thrill out of making others uncomfortable. She is also a very envious person. She comes from a broken and miserable home life and the only way she can really make herself feel better is by making others feel bad about themselves. Her sidekick Binna is a spoiled girl from a fairly well-off family. She's an only child and her parents give her much more attention than she deserves, honestly. Her mother is not very nice and her ruthless and harsh tendencies have brushed off on her daughter. They certainly suck up to Boram because they know the power she holds at school and is smart enough to stay on her good side...for the time being.

DEBUT STAGE OUTFITS:

TIDBITS:

During a behind the scenes video of the jacket shooting, it is revealed that during her solo shoot, Bia accidentally dropped the prop she was holding and it broke. She quickly found a way to pose with it still and staff were impressed with her improvisation skills. The picture was used as well.

Jinnie proved to be quite popular among fans due to her bright and infectious smile and joyful presence on stage. 

Chaewon had a lot of fans from the beginning. Many were vocal about her innocence and that MNET had evil edited her on girls planet 999. It caused a bit of a stir with anti fans which also helped give the group more attention.

Yerim is often praised for her unique visuals and has a lot of memes about her (especially featuring her snoozing in random weird spots in the background of vlogs) and also because she says a lot of funny and random things. 

The group as a whole became quite popular in South Korea because of their pretty visuals and vocals. Many try to compare them to twice and sometimes fans of both groups fight due to this.

Jinnie. Yerim and Bia have been dubbed the “chaos line” because when the three are together, all hell breaks loose. Things get very loud and goofy and they can be distracting to others. Fans eat that shit up though so there are a lot of edits of them being crackheads on youtube.

Overall, their debut was quite successful and well received. Jieun was very vocal on SNS of how proud she was of the girls and people loved the relationship between the CEO and group, which definitely helped bring much positive attention for LEV8.

Wonnie is Chaewons pseudonym for writing and composing music. She works with others mostly because she is still learning and Jieun helps her a lot when she has time. 

The girls are heavily involved with their music. Whether it’s writing or creative input, Jieun loves to have them participate.

Her most notable performance was ICE CREAM and other members of that group revealed that Chaewon helped mentor them and give vocal tips because the members had been nervous about their singing. Of course when that was revealed, some “antis” accused her of being arrogant or bossy.

Chaewon is known to be blunt but never with the intentions of being mean.

She’s said her role model is Sora, formerly of DIVIN3 (now known as @elektra-world​) and there is even videos of the two interacting cutely at a fan sign around DIVIN3s original debut.

She likes to help people with any and everything (cooking, cleaning, training, shopping for things, pretty much anything lol). She’s like an eager puppy wanting to be involved and contribute in some way.

She’s expressed an interest in song writing and works on them in her spare time. Nobody knows what she writes though as she keeps them in a notebook hidden away in her pillow case.

She goes by the pseudonym “Wonnie“ when it comes to her involvement in writing and arranging music.

⇨ PERSONALITY:

MBTI:

Positive Traits: Empathetic, Artistic, Selfless, Friendly, patient

Negative Traits: Sensitive, anxious, negative, moody

⇨ TRIVIA:

Seoyun is quite shy and also quiet. She’s more of a follower than a leader and often won’t speak up unless another member encourages her.

When asked about her stage name, she responded, “I like pokemon. Eevee is my favorite. I think the name is pretty, too!”

She spends a lot of time reading or writing stories. She likes to play the piano and and violin. She was apart of a youth orchestra from 9 to 11 years old.

Her and Heeyoung help the other girls with choreography and are very kind and patient when helping them.

Has a twin brother named Hangyeol. He was class president and a bit nerdy and much like her, shy. He’s very confident and smart though and is studying to become a Environmental Science and Protection Technician (he really cares about the environment and peoples health).

When she found out the group was debuting, she cried happy tears. She trained the longest out of all the members and worried a lot that she had been wasting her time thinking she’d never get the chance to debut

Auditioning for elevate was her last chance after multiple failed debuts at other companies. She is also a former starpunch trainee.

She was often put down by other trainees and staff at those companies due to her insecurities, which sometimes made her not perform as well. Jieun was very welcoming and reassuring when they first met and that helped Seoyun greatly.
