Jong-woo Kim | He/Him, 23, Fitness Influencer
Bubbly, bright, and built like a Greek statue, Jong-woo brings the sunshine wherever he goes.

Whether he’s working out or working the room, you can’t help but smile when he’s around. [BIO] | [PINTEREST BOARD]
Kailee Blake | She/Her, 26, Interior Designer
Kailee's all smiles and sweet touches, but it's clear she knows how to play the game. While her affection might feel genuine at times, her true motives stay tucked behind that charming facade. If you’re not careful, you’ll think she’s on your side right up until she twists the knife with a smile. [BIO] | [PINTEREST BOARD]
Kalea Mahelona | She/Her, 22, Student

Linden Craft | They/Them, 31, Café Owner
Grounded and honest, Linden is the breath of fresh air you didn’t know you needed. A little quiet and unreadable, they offer comfort by simply being. With their steady presence and emotional maturity, they make it easy to be exactly who you are. [BIO] | [PINTEREST BOARD]

Makai Jones | He/Him, 27, High School History Teacher
Aloof, unreadable, and hard to impress, Makai keeps his guard sky-high. He’s cautious and most people don’t get past the walls he’s built.

Marcel Toussaint | They/He, 29, Mixologist
Flamboyant, passionate, and just a touch unhinged, Marcel refuses to be ignored. They flirt for sport and love watching people fall for them, whether or not they plan to catch them. But sometimes, even a wildcard wants something real…it just might take a while. A very long while. [BIO] | [PINTEREST BOARD]
Misty Delgado | She/Her, 26, Park Ranger
Misty is the epitome of cool and always in control. She takes life one day at a time and is definitely not one to rise to the drama. Sometimes, she’s so laid-back it makes you wonder if she’s here to make a real connection…or just enjoy the view. [BIO] | [PINTEREST BOARD]

Marcel: "Ohhh, now that's something I can work with." Their fingers toy with your collar. "Tell me, mon chou--do you take your time when you eat, or do you go in fast and messy?" Their grin turns wicked. "Either way, I expect to be thoroughly enjoyed."
I like how your Ros characters seem like real people; they have a variety of looks and are nearly 30!! I’m surprised because I hardly ever see Ros characters in their 30s or approaching 30 in fan fiction.
Thank you!! 💗
I really wanted the WMU cast to feel like people you could actually meet and variety is very important to me!
Pretty twenty-something-year-old disasters certainly have their appeal, but there's something very fun about writing ROs who have lived a little.
Still messy, obviously. Just with better credit scores 😝

Wait, I'm sorry I'm confused?? How would a secret admirer even work? How can the MC have a secret admirer?? Unless the first episode aired so people could meet the main cast and then only after, new people entered the show, so they'd know about MC?
I am genuinely not figuring out how it would work unless the secret admirer also made part of the main cast so they've met MC already.
Am I just dumb? Probably??
Noooo you're not dumb! I've implied the logistics before, but I haven't shared them explicitly to avoid spoiling. But the long and short of it is:
1. The other ROs are close by, waiting for their entrance day/time.
2. ROs get a briefing of each contestant and a curated highlight reel of what's happened so far. So not a full episode. Only what production wants them to see...
Its okay Kalea you don't have to go to the gym with me we can get your cardio in at home 😩😏
Kalea: "Oh yeah! We can work out at home!" Her smile twists into a curious frown. "Wait, what kind of cardio...? Like, jumping jacks and stuff? Or...or..." She blushes. "Oh gosh." She covers her face, muffling the rest. "I walked right into that."
Okay, since Jong-woo has the best ass in the cast, we obviously know he does hip thrusts. That being saaaid... can MC replace the barbell he's hip thrusting?? hehe and what if MC asked him that.... hypothetically...... ok sorry, I just love him and this IF <3
Which Ros would like to spoil Mc with expensive gifts such as jewellery, designer clothes and luxury holidays?
The ones who can afford it, yeah, but with a few exceptions!
Anjali and Lu 100% would. They both firmly believe money can buy happiness, and that philosophy would extend to their partner 🙂↕️ If they want to spoil you, they're not doing it halfway.
Dmitry would too, but not excessively. He'd rather put that money toward a happy, comfortable home. He'll splurge on luxury items or vacations here and there, especially for birthdays, anniversaries, or big milestones, but he isn't throwing money around just to prove he can.
Jong-woo would mostly do it for vacations. If you're going to relax, you might as well go big! Private tours or reservations at the best restaurants, rooms with ocean views, etc.

Wait, ohemgee, Echo, I didn't know you watched Love Island?? Bryce and Trinity when they were away at Casa felt so heart warming 😭😭
And don't get me started on Bryce crying because Trinity is the only one for him, LIKE—STOPPP
I honestly wonder how they're both going to react to that...l also wish they showed that during movie night. ALSO, SPEAKING OF REACTING! How would the RO's react to MC doing that 🤭🤭 (The crying part saying they miss them because AHHH)
(P.S. I miss you Linden)
Hi Forest!! Yes!! I was locked in to the mess, but Bryce and Trinity are adorbs - congrats to them (though I personally think Bryce and Zach were the strongest couple of the season 😭)
As for our WMU cast during movie night:
Anjali: Watches the clip in complete silence, expression impossible to read. For most people, anyway. You notice the soft frown. The softer eyes. As soon as the clip ends, she turns her head away and clears her throat. "A little dramatic." She sits up straighter. "Though...I appreciate the sentiment." She waits until you're alone to say anything more. "Of course I missed you." Her eyes flick over yours. "No one else is remotely as interesting."
Dmitry: Watches you cry on screen and immediately looks like someone reached into his chest and squeezed. The second he can get to you, he does, his hand finding yours. "I missed you too," he says softly. "So much." His thumb moves over your knuckles. "I just didn't want to make it harder for you."
Jong-woo: "Why are you crying?" His hands fly to his face. "Don't cry." The second you say you missed him, he makes this awful little wounded sound and folds himself into you, face buried against your neck. "I hated it," he mumbles. "I hated being away from you. Don't make me do that again."
Kailee: Starts off watching fully invested, prepared for drama. Unfortunately, your voice breaks, and her whole face changes before she can stop it. By the time the clip ends, she's dabbing at her eyes and shoving your shoulder like this is somehow your fault. "What the hell, MC." She says through a watery laugh. "Why are you so sweet?"
Kalea: Starts crying the second you start crying. It doesn't even matter if the clip is about her. The second your voice breaks, she's done for. She doesn't hear half of it because she's already launching herself into your arms, face pressed into your chest. What she says is mostly muffled, but you catch enough. "I missed you too. I missed you so much."
Linden: Tries not to react too much or give the cameras what they're waiting for. But their face softens when you say you missed them, and eventually, their hand finds yours without looking. Their thumb traces slow shapes over your skin while the rest of the clip plays. Later, when you're alone, they say, "I wish I could've been there when you felt like that." Their fingers squeeze yours. "I'm here now."
Lu: Looks smug at first. You missing them? Saying they're the only one? Beautiful. Correct. The only response you should have. It's when you start crying that all that smugness falters into something they clearly don't intend to show on camera. By the time the clip ends, they've forced their expression back into place, smile sharp as they tilt your chin up with two fingers. "You missed me that much?" Their gaze searches your face a second longer than the tease requires. "To the point of tears is a bit much, don't you think?" Their thumb brushes once beneath your chin. "Not that I'm complaining."
Makai: Watches without saying a word. He doesn't like seeing you upset, especially when he couldn't do anything about it. When the clip ends, he looks down for a second before coming to sit beside you, close enough for your shoulders to touch. "Didn't know it was that bad," he murmurs. His knee brushes yours. "Wish I could've been there."
Marcel: Starts out extremely pleased, because of course they enjoy being missed. Then they realize you were actually crying, actually hurting, and the teasing slips enough to show something much softer underneath. "Mon coeur," they say later, thumb brushing under your eye. "If you are going to break my heart on camera, the least you can do is let me hold you after."
Misty: Tries to make a joke at first, something light and stupid, but it doesn't come out right. Seeing you cry knocks her off balance, and for once, she doesn't have anything silly to say. So she just throws an arm around your shoulders, tugging you into her side. "Yeah," she says, voice rougher than usual. "Missed you too."
Santi: Watches with a soft, aching smile. They don't interrupt or tease. The second they can, they pull you close, hand warm at the back of your neck. "You were crying over me?" Then they start kissing your face, your cheek, your temple, the corner of your mouth, smiling against your skin. "What about this? Did you miss this? Don't fight it. Let me make up for all that missing."
Oh thank god Makai is a bit chunky and hairy as all hell, that's exactly what I imagined and it's exactly what I like 🤌🤌😏😏😏 He's a mightly, juicy, delicious, spicy, seasoned, fresh, medium rare steak.
Makai take meee😩
Wijxejcejfnfbf
I'd so love to know how he'd even react to these words. He'd probably think I'm crazy...
Makai: "Medium rare ste--alright," His voice sounds a little rough. "That's…descriptive." He glances at the ask again. "...Take you? Take you where...? Oh." He clears his throat, muttering under his breath. "Lord have mercy..."
Would Jong-woo ever do a video that introduces the MC as his partner? Kinda like the old YouTube videos that were popular for awhile
No, probably not!
Mostly because people would already know they're dating, especially after the show and during the post-show press run.
He might occasionally have MC in one of his TikToks, but his management would be careful about making sure MC x Jong-woo doesn't become the main focus of his content. Jong-woo also wouldn't want his relationship to turn into something overly monetized or performed for engagement. He'd want to keep some parts of them just for himself 🥰
I was wondering if you could explain the black cat and golden retriever dynamic. How does it work?
Hi anon!! I'm good, but it's so hot where I live today 😭 Hope you're having a nice day too 💗
Happy to explain this!
Okay, so it's based on a combination of your stats. Basically, if you regularly pick serious, callous, stubborn, and intimidating choices, your MC would read as black cat. If you consistently pick playful, friendly, easygoing, and charming choices, your MC would read as golden retriever.
I won't be introducing these labels until relationships are a little further along, probably around chapter 3 or 4, so the game has time to get a better read on your MC's personality.
I did toy with the idea of making it a string, as in setting MC as golden retriever or black cat through one choice, but I thought it'd be more interesting to let it build cumulatively through the way you play. We'll see if that was the right choice soon 😅

AnoNNN here. My respect for Kalea as more than just a cute fragile skrunkly went up. Girl's got willpower!
Unfortunately my MC would fail just by being around her or interacting with her. Her check ins would be MC's undoing, let alone a distraction involving her (just seeing her in their pent up state in say beachwear or even just hearing her sweet voice might make them fail on the spot).
Thanks for answering this, let me just pop another couple of asks about it before November rolls aroumd. How would the ROs react to MC failing because of them? (Like the Kalea example above) On the other hand, how would they enjoy celebrating with a super backed up successful MC ready for a marathon?
Hehe welcome back!
Kalea can definitely hold it down if she needs to, but she'd be so confused 😭
Anjali: She won't apologize for existing. If you cave because of her, she's flattered, obviously, but she's still arching a brow like this is a failure of discipline and she expects you to own it properly. "You're blaming me?" If you make it to the end, she wants control of the pacing. She wants to savor every second of watching you lose it. You both earned this and she's not rushing it.
Dmitry: Endlessly guilty. An embarrassing amount, honestly. He'd start trying to figure out what he did: "Was it something I said? Did I look at you like--you know?" He pauses to think, and then adds quietly, like it's just occurred to him: "…Is it my morning voice? You've said things about my morning voice before...I could--I don't know, clear my throat more?" If you actually succeed, though, he's going for multiple rounds. He'll be very focused, very attentive, very intent on making sure you don't leave that bed with a single complaint.
Jong-woo: He wouldn't realize he caused it at first. He'd ask what happened, listen to the explanation, then go bright red once it sinks in that just being around him was apparently enough. "Just from--what did I do? Should I do it again?" He'd be too happy and too embarrassed to know what to do with himself. If you make it through the month, he's a little overwhelmed by his own enthusiasm: all hands and questions and is this okay, is this good, loving every second of being someone's undoing for once instead of the other way around.
Kailee: Of course you failed. She definitely won't pretend she didn't enjoy making things difficult. "I told you you wouldn't last. Now, I remember we made a bet and someone owes me." If you succeed, she wants a front-row seat to the aftermath. She'd make you show her exactly how badly you wanted her before she finally decides to help.
Kalea: "Wait, it was me? I didn't even do anything!" She's just so deeply confused and in complete disbelief. If you make it to the end, she'd be surprisingly needier than usual. Being wanted after a whole month would make everything feel more intense for her too.
Linden: They'd be genuinely surprised if you failed because of them, mostly because they don't think of themself as a temptation in that way. They'd feel bad that you lost, but they'd still be flattered realizing you wanted them that badly. If you try again next year, they'll take the support role even more seriously. For the reward: a long makeout session, both of you laughing a little because a month is a long time to miss someone's mouth this much.
Lu: Not surprised. Not sorry. If you fail because of them, that's the natural consequence of attempting self-denial in their presence. "Took you long enough. Come here--we need to make up for lost time." They'd be insufferably pleased about it, especially if they know exactly what pushed you over the edge. If you succeed, though, they're almost worse. All that restraint becomes something they want to test, stretch, and ruin at their own pace.
Makai: He wouldn't gloat if you failed because of him, but there'd be a little flicker of satisfaction he wouldn't bother hiding. "...Guess I did something right. Or wrong...I dunno." If you make it through too, he's rougher, unrestrained, and a lot less patient than usual.
Marcel: If you fail because of them, they're relieved. Finally, some sense has returned to that beautiful head of yours. "Ugh, never again, mon coeur. It was unreasonably cruel." They'd be unbearable about it too; this was inevitable and you're only embarrassing yourself if you try to pretend otherwise. The celebration is excessive on purpose: new things, old favorites, anything that makes the whole month feel worth the wait.
Misty: "I win," she'd say, because she totally did. She'll tease you about it for a while, but never in a way that's cruel. If you make it to the end, she's ready to have fun with all that pent-up energy: messy, eager, laughing between kisses because she can't help herself, and very entertained by how badly you want her.
Santi: "Finally," they'd laugh between kisses to your neck. "I missed this. I missed you." Their hands are already everywhere. "Te voy a devorar." They grin against your skin. "Kidding. Mostly." If you succeed, they're not rushing the celebration. Soft kisses, slower hands, dragging it out until you're begging for it, because they've been waiting for this too and they want to take their time.
