Background:
22 year old Kyuhyun was born and raised in Korea. The son of a shopkeeper and a traffic cop, his life before America was relatively unremarkable. His family life was mostly non-dramatic, and his social life bordered on nonexistent between school, school, school, and school. What free time he did have was spent gaming, or reading. He loved anything fantasy, though his tastes leaned towards the darker side of fantasy, and he would practical devour horror stories. His mother had lofty dreams that her son would be a famous singer one day, although Kyuhyun had little interest in singing anywhere outside of the shower, and his father thought that his son should study to be a lawyer - like his uncle, some hotshot lawyer in New York. Kyuhyun would have quite happily settled for being a professional StarCraft player.
Life for Kyuhyun however changed shortly before the final exams of the last year of highschool. Unable to cope with the stress, Kyuhyun spent less time studying and more time reading and gaming, desperate to take himself away if only for a few hours from a world that he was growing to hate more and more. He didn't know what he wanted to do, who he wanted to be, all he knew was that his parents wanted him to be this, or that, or something else. And then there was the blood, the way he wanted to know what it felt like, tasted like, every time he read it in one of his vampire novels.
Not having anyone to try it on, and not comfortable with the idea of getting some person drunk to try it on them, Kyuhyun tried his own - but with bad timing and an intrusive mother, it was mistaken as a suicide attempt and he was immediately dragged off to hospital, where he tried to explain his way out of the situation - but what was there to say? "I wasn't slitting my wrists, I was trying to see what blood tastes like"? It would go down even worse than a suicide attempt, so Kyuhyun reluctantly accepted the 'help' he was being given.
He put up with six months of shrinks and antidepressants that he didn't need before what seemed like an opportunity right from heaven came to him. The hotshot lawyer uncle had a hotshot shrink wife, who thought it would be a good idea for Kyuhyun to have a change of scenery and a different lifestyle for a while. Theraputic and all that. Kyuhyun wasn't going to complain, because it meant a free one-way ticket to New York and a cushy place to live in for a while.
It also meant sitting on his ass all day while his aunt and uncle worked, leaving him free to read and game, and go to class a couple of times a week to brush up on his English.
After a while he started taking a slight interest in his uncle's line of work, but although he found it interesting he knew that it wasn't really for him. He found himself a job in a bookstore, though more often than not he's reading the books instead of doing whatever he's supposed to do, but somehow he's still getting away with it. Maybe because he's so quiet and unobtrusive that no-one actually notices he's even there - or not there.
Eventually he was able to move out, after seeing an ad by some guy called Hongki who was looking for a roommate. He had no idea who the guy was, but he seemed nice enough, even if he was kind of freakishly cheerful. And bright. And had a lot of animals. Kyuhyun worried that they would turn out to be complete opposites, but that didn't stop him from moving in, and before too long the two had settled in with each other quite comfortably.
Kyuhyun is rather quiet, although not necessarily shy. He still loves his books and his games, right now it's MapleStory that eats up a lot of his time, and is where he meant Sunny through, the two in the same guild together. He's also taking a couple of night classes to try to pad his education out a bit.
Anything Else: Formerly renzokyuken! Wanted a new name for the reclaim XD
