Personality Traits:

Resilient & Resourceful: Faced with limited job prospects after graduation, Minji has stepped into the family business, demonstrating a practical and adaptable nature.

Family-Oriented: She is clearly loved by her parents and cherishes her family, including her younger brother. The fact that her parents hired her suggests a strong bond and trust.

Caring & Nurturing: Her relationship with Lily, whom she treats like a younger sister, highlights a caring and supportive side.

Optimistic & Hopeful: Despite the sadness of Ji-ah's departure, Minji maintains a bright outlook and eagerly anticipates their reunion, suggesting an inherent optimism.

Background: Minji was born and raised in Tokyo. Her upbringing has been intertwined with the family's flower pot shop, a business run by her parents. Her mother is a housewife, and her father works as a fisherman. Minji's education was in "pot design," which she pursued independently. Initially, her mother handled the sales of the flower pots. However, due to difficulties finding employment after her studies, Minji took over this role, essentially inheriting the family business. This transition highlights her practical approach to life and her willingness to contribute to her family.

Family:

Parents: Her mother (housewife) and father (fisherman) are loving and supportive.

Sibling: Minji has one younger brother, Yuki, who is 18 years old and currently studying abroad in Australia.

Significant Relationships:

Kim Ji-ah: Minji's childhood best friend from South Korea. They shared a very close bond in high school, talking, laughing, and sharing the same experiences. Ji-ah's sudden departure for Seoul when Minji was 15 caused significant sadness, but after eight years, Ji-ah is returning, filling Minji with immense happiness and anticipation. Ji-ah is described as having a "bright life full of love, no worries, no intention, just enjoy."

Lily Hayashi: A close friend who is the same age as Minji's brother (18 years old). Lily is described as "uneducated" but is someone Minji feels a strong protective and sisterly connection with. They share a passion for art, specifically painting, and enjoy spending time together creating art and having fun. Minji and Lily appear to manage things together, suggesting a partnership or shared responsibility, possibly in relation to the flower shop or their artistic pursuits.

Current Situation (as of 2025): Minji is actively involved in running the family's flower pot shop in Tokyo. She is eagerly awaiting the return of her best friend, Ji-ah, after an eight-year absence, reflecting a significant and joyful event in her life. Her life is a blend of family responsibilities, her artistic inclinations, and the rekindling of a cherished friendship.
