hi ! i'm finally rested up and ready to get things going 🥳 for anyone that hasn't seen my little pinned post yet: name's clem, i'm 24, currently residing in pst (gmt-8), and am comfortable with any pronouns ! i haven't been in a group in a hot minute, and english is not my first language. apologies in advance for any bumps we may encounter along the way 🫣 without further ado, i'd like to introduce you to my boy, midas kim + some connection ideas below the cut !

tl;dr: grew up ultrawealthy and was smacked in the face with reality once his father demanded he stop coasting from club to club around europe on his dime and actually make something of himself, lest he see himself written out of the will (and miss out on a fat inheritance). midas isn't studying at yeonhwa because he's super interested in his degree (though he's come to grow fond of it over time), nor to chase a career (dream job, you ask ? midas doesn't dream of labor). he's a little pretentious at times, can be awfully stubborn and argumentative just for the thrill, and above all else, treats life like nothing's serious and everything's a party. he's a very fun-loving guy, so it's no wonder he's known as the energizer around campus. always upbeat, always smiling, and always ready to drag people into the good time he's having (sometimes against their will). / you can find his dossier here and a deeper dive into his background here !

antares members. midas is antares' president and is very proud of that title. he's more than happy to host parties (and smaller get-togethers) at his place, and i imagine he has a sorta 'open-door' policy for other the other antares members. he takes care of his guys outside of just making sure everyone gets home safely and curing hangovers. if you're in antares, you've got a friend in midas !

ex-fling(s). remember how i said midas was unserious ? unfortunately, that attitude bleeds into his relationships too. i say ex-fling because i'm not sure anyone would've been able to tie him down with an actual 'boyfriend' label (though i'm not opposed to one actual ex 🤨 bonus points if it's a little heartbreaking). point is, they didn't work out. probably started out burning big and bright and a lot of fun until midas started to feel too stifled and stomped whatever spark they had out. obviously can be discussed, but i imagine midas tries to avoid them... which is kinda hard when he's the prez of the social club that throws the best gatherings around.

other international students. midas doesn't really grow roots anywhere, but he's spent a lot of time in a lot of places. more than anything, he can understand being thrust into a new environment and having to adjust. i'm picturing midas taking a liking to grabbing other international students and taking them exploring either on- or off-campus. he's a fourth year now, so he definitely knows his way around, but midas is a firm believer that there's always more to discover !

family friends. if your muse also comes from a wealthy background / political background, then maybe the two of them could know each other from before starting at yeonhwa. maybe they're surprised to see him here because of his... lack of work ethic ? to put it nicely ? maybe they always pretended to get along to save face, figuring they'd never see each other outside of events, and now they're stuck in a class together ? maybe they actually really did get along well and fell out of touch when midas decided to stay in europe so it's a nice little treat to reunite now ? lots of possibilities !

the holidate. with midas' father being so adamant about him going to school to actually do something with his life, i feel like it makes sense that he'd also want midas to 'settle down.' cue midas begging (bribing ?) your muse to accompany him to an event... or two... maybe three ? maybe midas' mom falls too in love with your muse and midas doesn't have the heart to tell her that they're 'broken up...' so he just keeps bringing them back again and again 😭 ... as i'm typing this, i also think an actual ex that his mom likes too much for midas to admit to breaking up with could be really entertaining too... made to act like they're still in love after everything between them came crashing down ? delicious !

jetset. when midas isn't hosting some sort of bash on the weekend, he's jetting off to europe for three days of debauchery. your muse is (un ?)lucky enough to be his choice of company for a trip ! what shenanigans will come of it ? ... who's to say ?

bad influences. look, midas already doesn't really want to be here... if he meets someone with the same penchant for partying as him, i'm sure they'll egg each other on to no end. they slack off and then pay the price once they're scrambling to catch up on work, but they'll never learn their lesson. they're the reason the other is always taking one shot too many.

sleepover. your muse went way too hard at an antares party at midas' place, and now he's responsible for them. the problem ? they're dead asleep and midas has no idea where they live... guess that means they're sleeping over ? he's nice enough to give them the bed while he crashes on the couch, but that doesn't mean your muse isn't confused as hell when they wake up wrapped up in a stranger's duvet.

tutor. aka: midas likes giving your muse a headache. if your muse is majoring/minoring in international relations or political science, then this is an easy connection... maybe they're in the same class and midas (reluctantly) comes asking for help ? or maybe midas realized last minute that he needed to finish up a gen ed class that's waaaay outside of his base of knowledge (something stem-related, probably) and came to your muse begging for extra lessons... now, that doesn't mean he'll actually pay attention during these tutoring sessions. quite the opposite, actually... he's going to do everything in his power to get them both off track !

football friends. midas is the assistant captain of the football team, so i imagine he's out on the field a lot running drills. maybe your muse is also on the team, or maybe they don't have enough time to commit to fully joining, but want to play a game or two sometimes. midas is your guy ! he's happy to run after the ball like a golden retriever... maybe he suggests it as a way to release stress after your muse came to him ranting about something ?

other quick ideas: hookup (one-night stand or reoccuring), good influence, japanese tutor (for him), only friends because they want an invite to antares' next gig, tinder match that fell through, confidants (but don't come to him for relationship advice. he will always suggest breaking up), and anything else we can come up with !
