Chapter 2: kim taehyung / idol singer (bts)
20
male / pan

as a young professional photographer he'd been traveling the world his whole life. his mother a stay at home mom while his father was a well known travel agent. taehyung never had time for love even when he really wanted to. he wouldn't have enough time. so he focused on the only thing he knew he could love: phototgraphy.

the app was recommended by the son of his father's partner who came over for dinner one night. taehyung was leaving for Germany the next morning so he immediately denied.

yet as he walked around dublin at 9 pm sharp he realized how lonely he actually was. Sure he had tried tinder while he was in tokyo but all they wanted was or to just give him head.

he didn't want just that he wanted connection. maybe it was time to find something serious, to know what love between humans can give.

his finger taps gently and the app brightens his eyes with a shock. it wasn't just him, hundreds had to be on here. his lungs felt like they could breathe and now it was 12 a.m. he plopped himself on the hotel bed; heart pounding and a smile on his face.

what will a first love bring?

Im Nayoung/Pristin
21
Female/Bi

As an amateur businesswoman who only cared about getting more sales, sales and sales, Nayoung was not one for love. Despite her young age, she believed in only what was realistic. However, her nosy friend had persistently forced her to download this strange matchmaking app called Iridescence, claiming that "she needed to get to know some guys before she died due to old age, sad and alone with no one to love", and so she ended up in... this situation. The girl frowned as she stared at the foreign app icon on her phone. She recalled using a matchmaking app called Tinder before out of curiosity. The waiting times were endless and being the impatient girl she was, she couldn't stand having to wait. She sure hoped this app would be a bit better than that, or she would simply cast this app into the trashbin.

She clicked the icon, filled in her particulars and the usual things. What caught her attention was the additional feature 'games'. Games. That certainly wasn't in Tinder before. And how long had it been since she played silly games with her friends, just chattering and laughing away as if there were no worries ahead of her, anyway? It seemed like it was only a memory of the past. Her lips curled into a wry smile. A businesswoman had no time for love or games, but she did want to try. Hopefully, it wouldn't disappoint her this time.

Youngjae was as bright as the sun on a glazing day, his laugh was as melodious as your favorite song yet the poor boy could never score someone who he’d been content with. He was no stranger to love, however, he didn't have the best luck in the world of love. It was the same repetitive lies from his partners and at one point, he even wondered why he kept trying to go at it but he realized one day that it was nothing more than a feeling of desire; it was just like starving yourself and you needed more food to live - that's how he defined love.

It was predictable. Of course, he was going to download a dating app. Why? Simply because he’s laid face down on his bed with quiet music filling the empty air in the background and there’s not a thing to do. He was bored, lonely, and unamused so this was just for the heck of it. Upon installing the app into his device, he watched as the blue line raced in seconds to the end and when he heard the little notification that it was done, he found himself smiling again for an unknown reason. His lips formed into an ‘o’, a small gust of air lingering from his mouth and fogged up the clear screen in front of him.

“This is a good, uh, start! I think,” he murmurs busily, hovering his thumb over the ‘Open’ button.

Faceclaim’s age: 27
Gender/uality: Male/Biual
Writing sample: He didn't need this. That's what he told himself anyway, denying that he needed this stupid app more than ever even though his little brother was just playing a prank on him. Despite his brother looking over his shoulder, waiting for the little app that represented a joke in his eyes to be deleted, Jongseok didn't do a thing to it. He just swatted the younger away angrily and commanded he go back home to their mother and father. Jongseok sighed after he watched his brother scurry out of the apartment and continued to stare at the app.

He didn't want to believe he needed the app but he opened it up anyway and signed up. It seemed simple enough and there was no way something could go wrong this way. It was like Tinder, minus the getting drunk enough to have with someone he didn't know. Plus, a partner in these piles of acting and modeling stress would be good for him, right? He was good looking so that wouldn't be a problem, right? It didn't matter about the fact he was sort of awkward, /right/? After a few hesitant taps to his phone and a lot of moments of second guessing himself, he finally applied and immediately grew nervous even though he had no reason to do so. It'd be fine. He needed this. Jongseok nodded as he muttered the words, "I need this." He wiped his sweaty, shaking hands on his sweatpants and got up from his seat on the bed. He strolled to his kitchen's coffee machine to add hot chocolate powder, crushed mint, and a few drops of mint oil to the top. "Right?"

Faceclaim/Affiliation: Jeon Jiwoo/K.A.R.D
Faceclaim’s age: 21
Gender/uality: Female/Straight
Writing sample: Soft-spoken shyness was the embodiment of Jiwoo’s personality, and the awkward secretive shame that she had in making a profile for a match-making application was enough to keep the gesture hidden from her fellow members. They were a co-ed group, in fact, but she had shunned the idea of dating JSeph and Matthew. The pad of her thumb fluttered over the screen of her phone, and she bit down on her lower lip with slow hesitation. She wouldn’t do this, right? They were a new group. She should be focusing on working hard to boost their popularity. The 21 year old couldn’t quite recall the last time she’d had a lasting relationship and had fallen in love -a feat that had proven hard for her for years.

And now, she wanted to be reminded what the feeling was like. Being loved and touched. Being so disgustingly sweet with someone and not having to pretend to be wonder woman-so superhuman that such desires never affected her. She’d thought about it being ridiculous, and even more when she flinched at the sound of Matthew’s confidence voice asking her a question from where he stood. Why did she feel like she was about to partake in something so scandalous? It was just dating, right? Letting out an exhale of a reply, she tapped her finger against the screen to confirm the submission of her profile, and gave Matthew an almost smile of betrayal.

There was no way she was going to tell them. She was going to take this to her grave, because she knew she would never live it down.

Faceclaim/Affiliation: Lee Minhyuk/Monsta X
Faceclaim's Age: 23
Gender/uality: Male/Biual
Writing Sample: Always putting his career and family above his own health and well-being, Minhyuk never understood the true meaning of “self-care.” It was astonishing how he managed to take care of himself thus far. Though somehow, he managed to have long hair—brown with a reddish tint, to be exact. The hair flowed down, usually poking down over his brown eyes—soft but filled with compassion and brightness approximately 98% of the time. This face was a bit on the skinnier side with prominent cheek bones, only masked by his cheeks when he smiled wide. Some say his smile was resonant with sunshine, but he found it too revealing of his teeth with immense spaces in between.
Minhyuk never thought he’d be this desperate to apply for a matchmaking service. Yet here he is, at 23 years old, wanting to be paired up to the supposed love of his life. Nothing to lose, right? Filling out the application, Minhyuk had finally decided that it was time to put himself first—before everybody else as he usually does. Hopefully Iridescence would be the answer to this one aspect of his rather solitary life.
