In which, Wonwoo is chasing Seulgi across lifetimes and worlds to achieve the happiness and happy endings that are possible between the two of them, as he carries worldly secrets and a curse that is bestowed upon him, which bounds him to live for the limit of fifteen lifetimes.

Foreword

Okay, so first of all before coming up to me to tell me that I'm being nuts making another story, I have to tell you that this plot has been going around my mind for lots of times. And I just have to write this down before I forget the ideas for this plot, so there you go.

As you can see, Wonwoo will live for fifteen lifetimes in this story, and since I want to try writing other pairings as well, I am opening 5 slots for Wonwoo's five lifetimes involving other ships, other than Wonwoo/Seulgi. It can be:

A. Seulgi/male idol (excluding Kai) ships

B. Seulgi/female idol ships (Ex:Seulgi/Wendy)

C. Wonwoo/female idol ships

D. Wonwoo/SVT member ships.

Seulgi will still appear in these five lifetimes, but it depends on the situation of your plot of course.

And along the pairing, you also need to give me a plot if you want to request. Here is the form:

Pairing :

Plot:

Quote/Prompt (not obligated to fill, but it will be nice to do so I get the overall feel you want to see):

Anyway, for the plot, I kind of have a strict conditions for the request:

1. Blow my mind away with creative plots. Creative plots lead to better writing to be honest. And since the idea is yours, I absolutely will credit you, and I think you would want to read a story that is well written since the idea is founded by you.

2. The setting doesn't have to be in Korea, or in this year, like it can be in the 60s or 90s, or even in the near future, though I'm not good in writing sci-fi.

3. The plots don't have to be about romance, it can be anything (no , no , no rated and taboo genres for me).

4. If I receive more than five requests, I will choose 2 het ship (may it be 1 Wonwoo ship 1 Seulgi ship, or 2 Seulgi ships or 2 Wonwoo ships), 1 Wonwoo/SVT Member ship, 1 Seulgi/Girlgroup member ship, and 1 personal favourite of mine)..

Aside from that, subscribe, feedback and upvotes are loved! Tell me your thoughts about this idea of mine okay ^^

I swear, no one can stop you and your ideas

I will request, but maybe not now. Nothing's going through my head aside from the long lines of code and its colorful words and letters on the black background and I can't think straight anymore

I'm almost always ranting my stress in college im sorry

But I'll request. Just not today. I hope it won't be too late by that time ;n; thanks for writing this ~

omg this idea is so wonderful and had me squeezing my empty brain for any possible plots. thank you for making this, this would surely turn out great!!

pairing : seulgi x yoongi, seulgi x jaebum, seulgi x mino
plot : a story in which wonwoo is a local pub owner and seulgi is a drunken stranger he's been catering to all day. in what feels like several hours that seulgi has been there, all she could talk about is how miserable her life is. conceiving at a young age, being forced to marry the father of her son as soon she turned 18, having spent the last 4 years with a man who was only a father to her child, but never a husband to her. and now, he has finally left her and is in the midst of filing a divorce.
seulgi has always loved his husband- or ex-husband, rather- and he did too. but ever since he found out she was pregnant with his child, all he could think of is how she "ruined" his life. when wonwoo asked her who the father was, seulgi just starts telling the story of all the men she's ever loved before. yoongi, jaebum, and mino.
it would be nice if during the whole back-story, you could give out hints that would keep the readers speculating on who among the three is the father.
the ending and who the real father is is all up to you! but i could suggest after seulgi finished telling all three stories, wonwoo asks her again who the father is and seulgi spots him outside the pub through the glass window with his new girlfriend. she then smiles bitterly, saying, "it doesn't matter, he's happy now."
