✮ connections

1. harsh realities (m./f., any age, any occupation) - angst, friendship
the struggle with being in such a large and popular idol group, being one of the oldest members, meant that he had taken it upon himself to carry the burden that were the problems if the group didn't end up hitting the goals (his goals) that he wanted for them. as much as he shined on stage, he was lonely without the fans, more so when himself, being one of the oldest, made it hard for the members to approach him. this drove him into despair, a slump, until you stumbled across one of his breaking down sessions, becoming his rock, his support, a rope to pull him out of his quagmire. 

2. creative (m./f., any age, prefarably a trainee) - mentor/mentee
filled with passion of creating music and intricate choreographies, you were amazed at what he was able to craft, and took it upon yourself to ask him for guidance, seeking him as a role model. despite his busy idol schedule, he helped out whenever he could, and was filled with pride when he was able to see how much you are able to grow.

— the media and everyone in the entertainment industry praises eunbyul's reputation, stating that he really is /that/ of a gentleman, kind and polite. but you can't help to be suspicious of him, thinking that it's some facade of an image. the way he constantly greets you with his crinkling eyesmile is annoying, and the way he's always optimistic gets on your nerves. but mainly, you despise being his love interest in projects, as he makes you feel as if you're falling for him, both on-screen and bts—off-screen. he's playful around you, touchy, and caring. but then once the project is over, he pretty much ghosts you, and pretends like you've never existed. until,... the next project.

✦ Comrade! ✦
Gender: Male

Age: 21 and up

Occupation: Any

Their paths serendipitously crossed at a company function or perhaps during a collaborative project, where Won and Muse A discovered a surprising array of common interests and shared passions. Quickly forging a connection, they exchanged contacts and would hang out in the rare chances that they're both off from work.

What started as a professional acquaintance between them evolved into a heartfelt friendship, rooted in mutual respect for each other's dedication and hustle.

(Connection can be tweaked/discussed further via dm!)

✦ XXX ✦
Gender: Female

Age: -+ 4 years from Won's age

Occupation: Any

Having once shared a deep connection, Won and muse A dated for a while before their respective careers cast a shadow over their relationship. Perhaps it was the relentless schedules or the gradual divergence of their ambitions that led to their eventual estrangement. Yet sometimes Won finds himself occasionally haunted by thoughts of the "what ifs" and "what could have beens."

The tension becomes a bit too much when they are compelled to collaborate on projects or find themselves working in close proximity. Despite the underlying awkwardness, they remain professional in maintaining a facade of civility in their interactions. However, behind closed doors the facade may crumble revealing the unresolved emotions that still linger beneath the surface.

(We can discuss how deep the connection runs! or if its a positive [mutual longing/reminiscing] or negative [just plain disdain for each other.])

✦ Scandal? Scandal ✦
Gender: Female

Age: +- 4 years from Won's age

(Idol, Soloist, Actress)

A seemingly innocent late-night stroll or coffee run between colleagues spirals into a catastrophe when they are spotted by the ever-watchful eyes of the media. Caught in the spotlight, Won and muse A find themselves into the unforgiving glare of public scrutiny. With their reputations on the line, the company advises them to maintain a facade of a romantic entanglement, urging them to keep up appearances until they can "cleanly break it off."

In the interim, they must weather the storm of relentless media coverage, enduring a barrage of articles dissecting their every move and scrutinizing their supposed relationship.

(This could go a lot of ways where they would eventually become friends as people stuck in an unfortunate predicament or frienemies due to not wanting to get stuck together. Could also develop to a one sided/mutual crush on either end. Discuss with me in DMs and we can figure something out.)
