"even if i will be in ruins, i'll guard you"
⸺

one of segye's vivid past life fragments was of muse exchanging their life for hers. perhaps muse was dear to her then. perhaps segye did not like being in debt. perhaps...she had then failed to protect muse when it was her task to do so, being the one protected instead. it is why the moment segye finds muse in this life, she promised to protect muse at the cost of her own life.

the moment the general locked eyes with her, it was the beginning of his downfall. always getting whatever he wanted, it was almost unheard of when she turned down his numerous proposals. despite their tumultuous feelings for one another, she feared him. she never knew when it would be her last day with him, eventually finding protection from his best friend. however, it was this betrayal that led him to the greatest one of his own, murdering his best friend and comrade on the field.

this was not the first. this relationship was one of many. in every life that they met, their love story would end in a tragedy. despite the baggage that came with their bond, they were drawn to one another, their connection always carrying over each lifetime.

when kang yeonjung came to the south as a spy, she needed to brand herself as completely unassuming in order to not draw any suspicions her way. to do so, she had enlisted the help of you. though unaware of her true identity, both of you agree to form a faux marriage to trick the masses. and well, what is fake slowly becomes real – though all that's left of this amor fatis is the red silk scarf she had once weaved for you. flash forward to the present day, it only takes a second for jin bora to recognize who you are – and a mere gaze upon your eyes is enough to make a grown woman cry.

their fates converged and were woven together by the hands of their parents. united in a strategis arrangement, their adjoined hands promised mutual advantage as their shared social standing held the promise of prosperity for both families. yet, their hearts whispered a different melody, for they yearned for the freedom to chart their own destinies, untethered by the shackles of an imposed union. behind the facade of friendship, they masked their true desires, painting their companionship with the hues of obedience. they naturally parted ways with hearts unburdened by resentment, despite the grumbles of their parents.

in the depths of donghwa’s memories, an ethereal recollection of the time when he stood as the esteemed heir of the noble seo clan during the joseon dynasty emerges. within those memories resides the image of a younger sibling. in the present, their paths intertwine once more, perhaps in the fragile embrace of a first encounter or in the familiarity of an established friendship. in this current life, donghwa aspires to assume the mantle of a better older brother figure.

❝　back to december.　❞ 　

— ex girlfriend connection. (0/1)
— 25-27 years old, near jiho’s age (26).
— female.
— present day.
— slight angst, mostly wholesome friendship or rekindled friendship, lots of awkwardness on jiho’s part.

❛❛　every time i see you around i’m reminded of my mistake, i’m sorry and i’d love to help erase it for you.　❞

　⌜ details. ⌟　: though jiho may seem happy and content with being a single father to about 30+ animals now, he has always had regrets for some of his past relationships. he just doesn’t really talk about them. the relationship period can be discussed between muns, what happened and whether they ended on good terms or not! no matter how it ended, jiho will be carrying some guilt as there’s a chance he treated his ex-girlfriend not as good as he liked to. either from immaturity at that age, mistakes, or something else. there’s a high chance he will apologize to her if they meet again in present day. to be discussed in detail if someone takes it! the time the relationship happened from high school to university days, any age during that period. since then jiho has not tried to date his ex again.

　⌜ idea. ⌟　: this can also be a gateway connection to a past life one! if they were exes-to-friends in modern day, there’s a chance they could have been something else in the past, only if it works with the past lives given to jiho and your character! no pressure to fulfill this part of the connection, just an idea.

　❛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴏғᴛᴇɴ. ❜ ——— aero slid into the metal barstool, flagging the bartender down to order her usual poison. "hey, pretty. you come here often?" she shoots you a curious look, perfectly arched brow cocked in your direction before a sly grin curves up the corner of her red-painted lips. "i own this place."

　⌜sʏɴᴏᴘsɪs⌟ 　you're a frequenter of dionysis, the illustrious nightclub aero's family owns. one night, you two run into each other and instantly click—whether it's friendship or something more, only time will tell.

❁ a connection, brief interactions primarily at dionysis.
❁ friendship, coital relations? (depending on what we discuss).
❁ no gender preference, nor occupation.
❁ 24+ age.

〆 ᴍᴜɴ ɴᴏᴛᴇs : this is a connection i am looking for! it will be your responsibility to brainstorm a reason as to why your muse visits dionysis on a regular basis. as mentioned above, we can discuss whether we would like for our characters to pursue a friendship relationship or a one-night-stand incident or something else! do READ aero's profile + my MUN NOTES before approaching to claim! questions about this connection are always welcome, but i will not repeat anything that is already provided in aero's profile. PM to claim!

　 　 　jinah can't live without you, that's a fact. although you two met not too long ago during a hectic night shift in the e.r, it's like you two were destined to be best friends. you two are like two caffeine addicted peas in a pod and your patients have dubbed you as 'spongebob and patrick' (you can thank mr. choi in room 203 for that nickname...). you know jinah is not superstitious, but one day while waiting on your usual caffeine delivery, she asks you a very strange question. 'hey, do you think there's such thing as a past life?' if you had your coffee with you, you'd do a comedic spit-out-your-drink-due-to-a-shocking-revelation bit, boy oh boy, having had vivid memories of your own past reincarnations, how do you even begin to answer that question?

　 　 　the day you lost her was the day you lost yourself. the fates were cruel, the very first kiss you shared under the peach blossom trees was also your very last one. ‘i don’t know when or how, but by the gods, i swear i’ll find you again, one day we’ll meet again princess’ were words you spoke and words that would not reach her, at least not in this lifetime. over and over you searched for her in every life, but never found her, that was until today. you almost thought you were caught in a dream— here she was, the crown princess jo miyoung, except the nurse badge she carried read ‘jinah’, but this was definitely her, there was no deceiving the heart. it was as clear as day to you, yet to her you were just another patient that had walked into the emergency room in the wee hours of the night.

　 　 　it was you. it was always you. the very first life she lived, cut so short— truly unjust and cruel. and why? she had done no wrong, she had been shunned away and disregarded by her own family even, and the one time she did something for herself, the one time she was selfish enough to dream, to love, the price she had to pay was her very life. you saw her, you knew it was not the crown prince kissing the general’s son that evening in the festival, but you lied. you deceived her family, the royal court, and she was sentenced to death. perhaps the fates were cruel, because in her next life you were there too, as her older brother no less. you didn’t care that you’d not only ruin her life but also your younger sibling’s and your own mother’s. once again, her life was cut short and it was by your own hand. so here you are, in her life for a third time. perhaps you remember it all, and you want to see jinah meet her demise again, or perhaps it’s all but a hazy memory, one you’re not even sure might be real. so what happens next? will the fates leave it up to you to decide, or is there a light at the end of this dark tunnel?

++ while i have no preference what gender your muse may have been during jinah's first life (joseon dynasty) and her current life (present time), your muse must have been reincarnated as a male to fit the role of her older brother, nam ilhoon (surname must remain nam, but the first name may be tweaked to your preference).

ㅤ saemi's memories of you are the ones she loves the most. in secrecy, she would read those entries whenever she's at her lowest, fingers running over her own scribbled words as if the letters would pull her back to the past so she could live in them.
she was the happiest in all of those lives she had, and you were the source of it─ her sun.
but both of you were too young: lovers stuck in a war that paid no mind to the innocents that were caught between it. and soon, that light was snuffed out, with the both of your hands intertwined, ending a story so short that her memories could not even fill a page, most of them gone.
but she hopes─ she dreams— that one day, you will remember her and hopefully, the both of you can reconnect, expanding the story that the both of you were unable to have in that previous life.

❛ good parts ❜　⋯　3/3 open

　⋯　present day connection
　⋯　roommates, like "new girl" vibes and eunae is jess (ish)

❛❛ all of you put out an ad for a new roommate to help cover the rent of your apartment, and eunae is in desperate need of a place to live after she catches her (now ex) boyfriend cheating on her. you may have been concerned at first, living with a woman, but she proves to be the perfect addition to the chaos of your apartment already.
　⋯　just really looking for those schmidt, nick, and wilson personality types. gimme that comedic relief amongst all the angst. we can also discuss having past life connections (or if you would like to be a member in eunae's band).

❛ never grow up ❜　⋯　open
　⋯　26+ yrs old
　⋯　male
　⋯　present day connection
　⋯　older sibling familial vibes

❛❛ nothing much to this. other than to say you're minhwa's older brother and you both have a tight, protective bond over each other. you are aware of what had happened to minhwa in the past and are the primary reason she was finally able to get out of it. ever since then, your relationship has become even closer and you're the one she confides in the most.
　⋯　soft family plots are my favs fr. this can also be tied into their past lives if you wanna get crazy and say they're soul siblings that always end up in the same family if their souls are in the same rotation, idk. let's go crazy

past life connection idea!

gender: female
relationship: younger sister
time period: 1860-1890
details: growing up, junyoung was always protective over his younger sister. they were poor and although their parents did their best to provide for them, junyoung felt responsible for taking care of his sister and making sure she was healthy and had proper nutrition. before joining the military, he often scavenged what he could and stole food when necessary. after enlisting in the military he would send money home and would buy gifts for his sister. now in the present day, he meets someone that makes him want to protect and dote on them like a big brother, but where did this come from? (we can discuss more details in pm)
