-Spots available: 0/2
- Preferences: Male of any occupation (idol, solo artist, actor, model, athlete, staff, director, up to player)

▪︎Ex boyfriend #1: You dated Star when she was a trainee and it was nice it was like puppy love. You both shared common interests and ended up bonding over them. The biggest interest you both held was anime and you both would watch a lot of it and literally waste your days off watching anime together. Then, Star debuted in Pandora and she was no longer able to binge watch anime with you like she used to. This bit of time away from you she began to realize how stagnant you were in life despite your career and this put a lot in perspective for her. She ended up breaking up with you and she was upset about breaking it off with you but it wasn't as difficult after she told you because you didn't care that she broke up with you, just as long as you could sit back and watch anime on your days off, you didn't need her. This made her moving on to the next guy, way easier.

▪︎Ex Boyfriend #2: Known as a party boy who's a wild card with an insane jealous streak. He has to be the best at everything and leaves a bunch of ex girlfriends in his wake along with tons of past meaningless hookups. Simply put, Star's second ex got around... before he met Star that is. She knew of his reputation and tried not to be lured in by him, but he was persistent. He liked her, he wanted her and was constantly drooling over her like a love sick schoolboy. At this point she was already established in Pandora and after briefly talking one night after one of Pandora's shows, she decided to go out with him and soon after that they dated. Dating him was a lot of fun, he practically worshipped her and would have given her the world if she asked for it. Unfortunately, the cracks in their relationship began to show because he was insanely jealous and overprotective of her. When they went out, he'd treat her like a precious doll that needed to be protected at all costs and he'd get into fights with other guys who even so much as breathed around her. She liked the special attention for a bit but it soon got to be too much after he tried destroying a guy's expensive car just because he thought the guy looked at Star. Star immediately broke up with him after that which caused him to spiral. He was never the same after their breakup and tried to go back to being a playboy but he just couldn't do it and now he's been stalking her because he wants her back. He says he'll change but will he? To make matters worse, she's dating someone else now, someone she's obviously really happy with despite their relationship being a secret... perhaps Ex #2 will find out and try to fight her current boyfriend in order to get his Star back.

[ Note: Details of this connection can be discussed if you'd like to discuss it with me! ]

{ More than meets the eye }
- Connection type: Friend to Secret Boyfriend
- Spots available: 0/1
- Preferences: Male of any occupation (idol, solo artist, actor, model, athlete, anything except staff) around Star's age (26-30), preferably with a dark bad boy image
- Genre: Friendship, Comedy, Romance, Possible
Faceclaim Suggestions: Any ATEEZ member that isn't currently taken, up to player

▪︎ You both met a couple of years ago when Star attended an event (or a concert you were in or were also attending this is entirely up to you) because she wanted to show her support to whoever was hosting the event (or whoever's concert it was). You have a bit of a reputation as a dark demeanor bad boy and she's known as a sweet and bubbly girl. After the show, you both connect and hit it off but as friends... and since then you've been friends, until she notices how your bad boy image is shining through moreso lately than it has before, and to her, it's fun and kind of y to her. There's nothing like a little bit of trouble to spice up someone's life and she's beginning to like it quite a bit. As for you, you see that Star puts cute slightly hyper yet down to earth vibes into your hectic bad boy lifestyle and you're starting to really appreciate that and you're starting to really appreciate her and see how special she really is. The two of you together are spicy and sweet, you're the Natsu to her Lucy, you both can be very ditzy, you both sometimes share only one brain cell when you're both together and you both have come to realize that you do have feelings for each other, romantic feelings for each other, you both eventually confess and then you both start to wonder... how the heck do we navigate this new relationship so no one finds out? Because it might make headlines and break the internet if such a legendary bad boy and a sweet as candy idol from Pandora were caught dating...

[ Note: We can discuss the details of their secret relationship as well!]

《 charitable figure 》
— plot
— any gender, idol, any age
— 0/1

either you were elected by your label, or you volunteered on your own volition. you joined a charity program to help the kids of a school in a rural town. there, you met jongee, who was spending his day off helping the local children.

» if you’re a pandora member, he already knows about you; if you’re a non-pandora member, your identity could’ve been revealed during a conversation
» just a plot where two people help out at a school and spend time with kids, can be considered feel-good; might also be an eye-opening journey for your character if they’re not used to charity work & got to learn things from jongee on the field
» any more intricate details can be discussed in pms

《 to my dearest friend 》
— connection : past pen pals
— any gender, trainee or idol, no older or younger than 3 years (26)
— 0/1

you liked letter writing. whether that was because you enjoy socialising, or you just adore the formatting of letters. either way, you made a pen pal out of jongee, and the two of you would write often.

you told jongee about becoming an idol; he told you about becoming a surgeon. the two of you cheered each other on as you started trainee life and he his studies. eventually, as your training grew vigorous, so did his studies. soon, the two of you lost contact.

you may have thought about him a few times, but you thought you wouldn’t meet him again. until you did.

» either can be physical letter writing or digital; we can just say they’re old school like that
» two potential ideas on how they reunited: 1) one of you reached out again through the (e-)mail address, and the other responded 2) you met him while visiting the hospital
» we’ll be working on the belief that they shared each other’s photos, so they knew how each other looked
» any more intricate details can be discussed in pms

↳ ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs : male, around jian’s age, an idol (21)

↳ jian was in one relationship throughout high school and the start of her career. The relationship wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows. It was constant disagreements, constant arguing and fighting, well… it wasn’t always like that. It only got bad when her boyfriend became an idol and she became a stylist, this causing their ultimate split.

【notes: we can discuss the reason for the break up, discuss how they will act towards one another and etc.】

↳ ɢᴇɴʀᴇs : slice of life, fluff, angst ( a little)
↳ ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs : female or male, idol, around jian’s age (21)

↳ where would jian be without you? you were literally her angel sent down from the heavens to her. (or that’s what she likes to tell you.) you were her first client, of course she was absolutely nervous to have first client be an idol but what she didn’t know was that you would end up being her best friend.

【notes: jian does everything except hair! She puts outfits together, does makeup, nails and even can make some jewelry. We can discuss what services you requested from jian and how long they’ve been known each other and how often jian works for them. 】

↳ ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs : female or male, idol

↳ the one thing jian loves more than her actual job is her clients! The only few people in the world who can help Jian through a rough day without even knowing she had one! She absolutely loves her frequent clients and they might get some special treatments for literally just coming back to her. Either that's extra jewelry they didn’t ask for, making sure their makeup and or nails are completely on point with their outfit or maybe even making an extra handmade piece for their outfit. It's just her way of saying thank you for coming back even though she's an independent stylist

〔 01. where is the love? 〕
　- — ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʏᴘᴇ : exes.
　- — sᴘᴏᴛ ᴀᴠᴀɪʟᴀʙʟᴇ : 00 of 03.
　- — ɢᴇɴʀᴇs : slice of life, angst, drama, tension, possible reconciliation and/or romance (?)
　- — ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs : male, around lani’s age (26) or older.

when it came to relationships, for a lack of better word, lani was always color blind. whatever red flags you might have had, she was always overlooking and simply because she loved you. or at least, that’s what she thought it was at the time. because just like many times before, adding to her horrid roster of questionable choices in partners, you proved to be just like the rest. despite ending on such a bad note, would there be chances for either of you to be in each other’s lives again?

〔 02. wasted times 〕
　- — ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʏᴘᴇ : mentor x mentee
　- — sᴘᴏᴛ ᴀᴠᴀɪʟᴀʙʟᴇ : 00 of 01.
　- — ɢᴇɴʀᴇs : drama, angst, tension, slice of life.
　- — ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs : male/female, trainee or idol.

as many would say, time is money. and while many dance classes have been scheduled between you and lani, each session is proven to be absolutely futile. as the more you keep missing each one without so much as a proper pardon, then the more you deepen the rift as you continue to test her patience. but things weren’t like this before, at least they weren’t supposed to be. is there more to your absences than you are letting on?

　- — ᴀᴅᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ɴᴏᴛᴇs: we can discuss/brainstorm more details about this connection, any directions we might be open to exploring and etc, but any endgame romance is out of question.

〔 01. there’s something about you 〕
　- — ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʏᴘᴇ : unrequited love, first crush, reunion.
　- — sᴘᴏᴛ ᴀᴠᴀɪʟᴀʙʟᴇ : 00 of 01.
　- — ɢᴇɴʀᴇs : slice of life, fluff, possible romance (?)
　- — ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs : female, notable talent in dance, around kion’s age (22).

years had passed since he had immersed himself in the local dance scene of the united states, but he’s never forgotten how you effortless caught his eye. by the time he’s figured out exactly why each dance class was made all the more worth it, kion was certain it would be something he would never confess, let alone when neither of you could connect well due to language barriers. now that times have changed and you’re coincidentally meeting once again, how will things turn out?

〔 02. bad blood 〕
　- — ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʏᴘᴇ : bully and victim, rivals, enemies to friends (?)
　- — sᴘᴏᴛ ᴀᴠᴀɪʟᴀʙʟᴇ : 00 of 02.
　- — ɢᴇɴʀᴇs : drama, angst, tension, slice of life, possible comedy (?)
　- — ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs : male/female, trainee.

ever since kion had been introduced as a trainee, for some reason you’ve always had it out for him in some of the worst ways imaginable. whether it was his initial struggles with speaking korean, his eccentric personality or better yet— his representation as yet another obstacle to the path of debut, there was no way he was allowed any peace if you had anything to do about it. and although he never understood the animosity himself, this nonetheless allowed him to keep an eye out for you as much as you did for him.

Due to coincidence she found out that she wasn't the only one being at work in the middle of the night, she met you in one of the rooms. You spent the whole night in each others company and from then on Nari would make sure to meet you regulary and bring home made meals for your secret little dates.
