《 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

↳ 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.

↳ 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.

↳ 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.

» After a rough fight with her in-laws and her husband yet again not taking her side but also taking part in the accusations Nari left the apartment slamming the door shut behind her muffling the screams of the mother & son duo. Not being able to drive herself she took a cab to Nova. She would have gone to a bar but she felt too exhausted and simply wandered through the calm and dark halls. 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.

　⤷ ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs: female, any occupation, open to anything else
　　　You're his muse. His first love. One of his best friends. You've blurred the lines of friendship more than once, but as much as he's wanted to call you his, he's held back, believing himself not to be worthy of such a luxury. So he puts his thoughts and feelings for you into his music. Even when faced with jealousy as you pursue and date others. The problem he faces is that he's in love with you. Can he give in to his desires and confess to you? Can you finally be his and his alone?

　❪ !!! ❫ This connection does NOT require an end game. That will be determined based on character dynamics and compatibility seen through roleplaying.

　　　You weren't his first love, but you were meant to be his last. At least, that was his intention. Even when you confessed to also having growing feelings for another, he waited patiently for you. Until the day you finally came clean. You chose the other person instead of him. His heart torn in two, he accepted your decision. But what is he to do now? He changed his ways for you. Stopped his flirting, his drinking, his smoking, everything to be a better person for you. Now he's returned to his old ways in hopes of getting over you, having not seen you for months only to have you slip right back into his life. How can he face you when his heart is still broken?

Can you push past the hurdles, honor the agreement of the engagement, and marry her? Or will it be too much for you to handle?

additional notes (that i forgot to attach to the connection below because i'm a fool): it is NOT required for sanghyun's brother to hate sanghyun back. despite how sanghyun treats him, you can make his brother treat him with kindness in return and have no ill thoughts towards him. if you want him to hate sanghyun back though, then i am all for it as well! you have the freedom to do whatever you wish with his personality.

plot title: the rightful heir
connection type: brothers, familial
available spots: one
genres: angst (like, a lot of it), drama, hurt/comfort, hopefully redemption
preferences: someone who is prepared to accept that sanghyun REALLY hates his brother and is not afraid to express it

description: back then, famous soloist, yeon mijung, was having great difficulty conceiving a child with her husband. when things were starting to look bleak for the couple, they decided to just adopt a baby instead and make the public think that he was their biological son.

sanghyun is, unfortunately, the son in question and for the longest time, he had no idea he was adopted. it was only when his parents had a miracle baby that sanghyun found out the truth. ever since then, all the love and attention went to his younger brother instead, seeing as how he was biologically a yeon and sanghyun, himself, wasn't.

sanghyun's parents no longer cared for sanghyun's accomplishments and would only truly notice him when he'd commit mistakes or gain negative rumors.

this has caused sanghyun to not only become a total perfectionist when it comes to his craft, but also absolutely despise his brother. maybe if he becomes the better idol, then maybe his parents will accept him as a son again.

faceclaim suggestions: anyone who is a 00 liner and below! doesn't need to look like wonwoo since they're not blood-related.
