plotting room

₊❏❜ ⋮ busker busker | anyone, any age
    ​​​⤷ idol life was never boum's endgame, so he takes every opportunity he can to get out and play in the streets of itaewon and hongdae. he has to mind his fame, of course, opting to wear the expensive LED programmable mask he impulse bought because it covers his whole face. the anonymity and separation from being "jinx's boum" is something that boum takes really seriously, like superhero secret identity serious, so he even keeps it from his peers. only, you can't help but think the kid you pass busking one night is a little too familiar.

₊❏❜ ⋮ clown | anyone, any age
    ​​​⤷ if the company is a class, boum is the clown. he never misses the opportunity to tell a joke, say something absurd, and anything else to get those around him laughing—or at least in high spirits. he can be annoying, yes, but it's that endearing sort of annoyance where you can't really hate him. except you do. you're the one person that does like boum and, like the puppy he is, he won't leave you alone until you explain and/or change your mind.

₊❏❜ ⋮ boy blue | anyone, preferably older | set in 2017, a precedent for a close friend sort of connection
    ​​​⤷ the boum known and loved today is a far cry from the damaged kid that first step foot in lunar all those years ago. 14-year-old boum was quiet, both because of a language barrier and the shell he found himself in while facing the unfamiliar without his original confidant. all he did was train, go to school, and go to therapy—only socializing with his peers when he was forced to. when you found the poor kid tucked away in the rooftop's furthest corner, doing his best to muffle sobs, you were the first to truly attempt to get past his walls.

❝ anniversary ❞
⤿ like clockwork, it's the one time of year haneul seems more melancholy and more torn between sleep and long nights than usual. it's been more than a week of his justified moping, but the death and it's anniversary aren't exactly something he likes to share. unaware of the deeper cause of his mood, you decide to try and cheer him up.

❝ worn edges, frayed ends ❞
⤿ haneul is an idiot - an emotionally constipated idiot that can't even tell the girl he likes how he feels even at the ripe age of 26. instead, he bottles up his little emotions and writes them into songs instead, with those particular songs finding home in their own little pocket notebook. he's beside himself upon misplacing the thing, but you've found it and simply cannot miss the opportunity to poke a little fun.

₊❏❜ ⋮ ex-lover | some angst, platonic reconciliation | male, 24+
    ​​​⤷ you and mirinae dated—for about a year out of the public and then, after the news broke, for only a few more months after. it was a completely mutual break, citing the new pressures of the public sphere that drove you apart. that doesn't mean there aren't hurt feelings lingering—namely those lamenting the loss of something great as you began to avoid each other outside of any work obligations to try and make the split clean. now, you both miss the friendship that laid the foundation for the relationship. it's time for a talk.

₊❏❜ ⋮ power outage | general, friendship| anyone
    ​​​⤷ a blown transformer pitches the entire block into darkness. you and mirinae are unfortunate enough to be in an elevator when it happens—trapping the two of you between floors. between seoul traffic and the general panic of the power outage, it's easily a couple of hours before any professional help can come.

₊❏❜ ⋮ knock much? | just two idiots tbh | anyone
    ​​​⤷ you walk in on mirinae changing; it's a whole thing where, even as she manages to cover up, you two are left staring at each other—frozen in the shock of the moment until she gathers enough wit to shoo you out. you wordlessly agree to never talk about it again, these things happen! but that's easier said than done considering how awkward things are in the aftermath.

₊❏❜ ⋮ little bits
    ​​​⤷ practicing together
    ​​​ ⤷ late night @ the convenience store
​​​     ⤷ vlive, either together or you crashing hers/her crashing yours
​​​     ⤷ texting threads

from leader to leader (must be a leader) [male/leader]
youmin is very insecure about leading his group. he feels he has no idea what he's doing and he is going to lose his mind eventually. you noticed his distress and come to give him advice and strengthen his mindset

too cute for your own good (any group) [male/female]
youmin is cute, but he can be a little stupid for a better word. his innocent stance makes him easily coerced into things and make him do things he doesn't like because he can't say no or he just doesn't understand. so when he stumbles back from being jumped, you immediately know he will need the help and support, as well as maybe a bit of a sit down

how did you get leader? (jinx member)
it's during a practice where youmin is struggling to lead the group. they're all looking at him for answers when in all honesty, he has no idea how to answer anything. after a long day of practicing, you had enough. you lash out at him, calling him incapable of being a leader

rich (any group; male/female)
sohee is rich, and the stereotype of rich girls is that they are snobby. but sohee has tried to stray away from this description. but unfortunately, not everyone can be swayed in not believing the stereotype. she tries her hardest to prove to you that she isn't a bratty rich girl, while you want nothing to do with her

you're not cute anymore (isl4nd member)
sohee has always been cute, fitting their original concept well. but now that the group's concept changed, you feel the need to try to get her to be more "cool" or "edgy", but she just wants to be herself

sunbaenim is very pretty (any group outside isl4nd) [male/female]
to put it simply, you have a crush on sohee. it almost feels weird as her hoobae, but you couldn't help but catch feelings. you want to act on these feelings, but you are nervous. so instead, you try to compliment her, hoping she will get the hint. unfortunately, sohee is a little dense

Seeking Connection - Korean or fluent in Korean from a young age, 20+
Using has barely turned 14 when she was scouted in late 2016, and coming to a country she didn’t know the language of was hard. Using found it hard to interact with anyone, or understand any instructions. After three months she was debating calling it quits and just going home, but there you were. You took the time to help teach her Korean, helping her fit in better with everything. From then on, Using has valued your friendship and help more than almost anything in her life, and she’s always seen you as a role model, someone she wishes she could be like.
