Romantic~

You and Hani are friends but mostly you really only meet up at the bar to have drinks on ocassion. Not that there's anything wrong with that at all. Talking mostly about life and hardships or laughing at stories from your days. It's rather nice to drink with someone rather than drinking alone. Don't you think?

yours truly, a concerned (really just a disgruntled) citizen
- relationship: friendly enemy, disgruntled voter
- 0/1
- genre: comedy, slice of life
muse a has never been a fan of taecyeon’s, always making sure not to vote for him with each passing election cycle. whenever there is a town hall meeting, muse a is there to greet him with a fresh complaint and a tirade of words. sometimes muse a just says a bunch of bull to piss him off that day, like chanting for free ham and mayonnaise sandwiches at the park. despite his flaring temper, he it up because he cannot blow his image. after all he needs every vote he can get, but he sometimes questions himself on that whenever muse a is around.

jongin gets his degree (almost)
- relationship: tutor/teacher
- preferable traits: someone who has graduated/is in college or works as a tutor or teacher
- 0/1
- genre: slice of life, comedy, drama
- since his forced hiatus, jongin has had some time to himself and not much to do occasionally. unsure of his future and knowing that he missed out on the typical memories that most people his age made, he decides to enroll in college for the heck of it. however, since hitting the books, jongin remembers another reason why he was eager enough to leave dandelion at 15. he hated school. not wanting to quit just yet though, he hires a tutor to help him with the csats. however, it’s been proven to be somewhat of a disaster with him always too distracted during lessons and avoiding the actual schoolwork like the plague.


well that’s embarrassing
- relationship: one night stand or former fling
- preferable traits: female, 24+
- 0/1
- genre: comedy, slice of life, (implied)
- before jongin met his fiancee, he was one to sleep around. commitment wasn’t exactly a term in his dictionary. while he was known to be a nice guy on the tracks and in the media, he didn’t have the heart to be “mean”. he would tell girls what they wanted to hear or just not respond, leaving answers vague and up in the air for interpretation. it usually ended in him ghosting or just continuing sporadic hookups whenever he was in the area. now it seems like karma has caught up to him when he needs a favor from muse a, an old fling/one night stand of his that he ghosted.

— any other details can be discussed!

as a requirement for school, ashley was assigned to have you as a penpal. she got even more excited to learn that you were from south korea as well (even though they required you to write in english). a couple of exchanged letters and it felt like you knew each other through and through. even after the penpal program was over, both of you tried to keep sending each other letters; but sometimes growing up meant your priorities were not silly penpal letters. the exchange became slow and finally came to a halt. years later, you see a stack of letters on the counter of the bakery and was surprised to see the stationery you always loved with your handwriting all over it. was your penpal always been here all this time?

your history with ashley goes a long way back in your childhood years. the ever so friendly bitna would always invite you to her place (or even invite herself to yours) to play bricks or race cars after school and during weekends. though, during your age, smartphones weren’t really a thing yet and when she left town, there wasn’t anything concrete to keep in touch with and years went by with the both of you just left being part of memories of a happy distant childhood. now that ashley’s back in town and a whole new persona, there is this awkward air between the two of you. nevertheless, both of you are eager to reconnect and start a new kind of friendship.

–– from barely being able to stand each others presences at ballet school, the two were paired up for majority of the main roles for every single play that was put out. the mean words slipped their lips as if it was venom spewing from a snake. they held no mercy but showed great professionalism, masking a "friendship" for their instructors. sooner or later..they let their terrible rivalry stand behind as their time together was coming to an end. rather they chose to stay in touch, to make up for the times they fought. tba!!

⤜ return for a reward
— relationship: strangers to friends
— details: any gender, any age range
— under: slice of life, casual, light-hearted

tu misplaces the book she carries everywhere she goes; it's an important item filled with her drawings and little thoughts, but also contains the bucket list she made with her best friend. she's unsure how she's lost it, leaving her in a state of panic, but she recalls putting her information at the front of the page with a little note that mentions 'reward will be given to whoever returns this lost property.' thankfully, it gets returned to her but the reward she mentioned? she isn't even sure what to give as compensation.

⤜ roommate needed!
— relationship: strangers to friends
— details: any gender, age range preferably 21-23, may or may not be a dandelion native, fluent in english or korean for easier communication
— under: slice of life, casual

studying in korea has always been her dream, but one thing tu definitely failed to fully consider was her cost of living. who knew it was so expensive to live here? she's moved all the way to dandelion to alleviate her expenses, but would love for a roommate to help her share the rent. alongside the usualy perks of having a roommate (whatever that would be), it could mean a new friend who she can learn from and get to know well.

⤜ "lost" in translation.
— relationship: strangers to friends
— details: any gender, any age range, other party should preferably be korean or fluent in korean.
— under: slice of life, comedy, light-hearted

tu is rather shy once she's no longer around her friends, and due to her fear of mispronouncing words that'll offend others, she becomes a little apprehensive to speak korean without someone fluent next to her, or without the aid of google translate. however, when provoked and her patience gets tested, she won't hesitate to fight back. so when she finds herself in a sticky situation, someone else steps in for her with the presumption that she knows little to no korean—that is, until she gets fed up of course.
