- Being a daughter of a world-class pianist and a famous broadway singer has not always been a great thing for Jinah. Well, yes, her parents' popularity makes her somewhat famous yet it does not change the fact that her life is pretty much... miserable.
- Im Jinah was born in New York, USA ; two days after her father's performance in some kind of awards show in America. As a pianist known worldwide, he was asked to open the show with one of Mozart's masterpieces. Who would ever think he would be having a beautiful little girl two days later? When Jinah was born, no relatives paid her mother a visit. It was only her and her parents. Her parents had lived in States for four months before she finally came into this world. At the age of 13, she flew to Seoul alone to live with her grandparents. The elders enjoyed their granddaughter's presence so much that they gave her everything she could ever ask for, spoiling her to the maximum. But, they kept it as a secret from their daughter and son-in-law. They were afraid Jinah would be taken away while knowing that the girl's parents would only leave her alone in the house since they were always caught up with their jobs.
- "Mom, I'm a part of the cheerleading squad!" 14-year-old Jinah exclaimed in full excitement. It was the day when her mother visited her in Korea. Jinah thought she would be congratulated yet instead of it... she received nothing but a cold shoulder.
- "A cheerleader? What is that supposed to mean? What were you thinking? You know what you must focus on. Excelling in both academics and violin. We asked you to be a pianist but you refused, saying that you would rather be a violinist. So now, all you have to do is focus. Your father and I are not tolerating other activities that may ruin your future."
- Poor Jinah, she could not say anything. She was only able to nod then went back to her room, covered her face with a pillow and cried a bucket of tears afterwards. It was always like this. Mr. and Mrs. Im never supported anything she desired to do. Jinah loves to dance. Back in USA, she did a lot of cover dancing with her friends. Whenever she dances or makes a choreography, she feels the happiest. It's not just about the dance moves, yet it is also because she has people whom she could trust, people whom she could laugh together with, people who are able to make her feel accepted, people who give her warmth. Things she has never got from her parents ever since she was born. The female also likes modeling. It all started when her hobby changed drastically from studying to taking selfies. By taking so many photos of herself, she could work on her expression. It made her realize that she actually wanted to be in front of photographers' camera. Her heart was pounding at the thought of becoming a supermodel yet she understood her life very well. As much as she wanted it, even though she begged, her father and mother would never allow it. She has to be a musician, or else she will ruin the relationship between her and her parents even more.
- Haneul University. Truth to be told, the lady did not believe her application would be accepted. Truthfully, she wished she did not get in. She was forced to take the Music major although she did not agree to it. When she was little, she enjoyed playing the violin. But now, she feels like she is trapped inside a bird cage because of music. She had to give up on everything she liked due to instrumental music. Well... at least she could join the cheerleading squad now. That could be her escapism.
- A new campus means a brand new start. She hoped to find good friends who would not take her for granted.
