from across the room inside chance couldn't help the way his gaze had drifted to her, a sense of uncertain familiarity settling in his chest. perhaps it was the location bringing back memories from a hazy night so long ago, but he really couldn't shake the fact that he knew her. maybe that was why he found himself wandering out of the party when he noticed she hadn't returned, curiosity getting the better of him. "i don't think i've ever seen that show, so i can only imagine." he mused in response, moving to lean against the railing of the yacht, a bemused look in his eyes. "we've met before haven't we?"

the sound of red bottom christian louboutin heels clacking against the hardwood floor in the back deck of the extravagant yacht has to offer is unmistakeable.  & this echoing sound is all anyone could hear if they came close to where lena has been walking back & forth for the past ten minutes ; stealing a few puffs of cigarette that has found solace between her pearly whites. for anyone who may not know who lenora clemonte is ( as impossible as that may sound ), they would think she is a nervous wreck judging by her constant pacing that has started to hurt her delicate feet. so as soon as she hears the set of footsteps ; she plants her feet firmly to the ground & rests her hand on her hip.

" i just needed to get some air. it’s like a terrible episode of bad girls club out there, " lena explains while hiding away a cigarette out of a force of habit, before she even sees who it is. after all, she looks like a vision straight out of vogue ; dressed in a floor length custom-made stella mccartney gown that is made specifically for high-profile yacht parties, & a smoking habit is definitely unbecoming of her.

chance might have been raised placed on a pedestal by the world, but he wasn't completely out of touch, in fact he managed to stay a least a little down to earth most days. which is why he couldn't help the laugh that slipped out of his lips at the other's comments. "it's nice to meet you nyx, i'm chance; like the monopoly card." he replied, swiveling around in his chair much to his hair stylists dismay so he could offer out his hand in greeting. "i have a funny feeling they're going to have to do a lot of retouching to make me look even half as good as you do today."

⊹ ⸻ 𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑 with a large brush dusting powder all over his face by the makeup artist, Phoenix tries to slip in a little greeting and conversation with the actor. “Now I understand why they were telling me how lucky I am to be chosen for today’s photoshoot.” He turns his head slightly, flashing the other a cheeky smile.

“I’m Phoenix, or also known as Nyx Rose when I return to the realm of music.” He lets out a soft chuckle and extends his hand towards Chance for a handshake. ⸻

"i was picking up some groceries yesterday, and as i'm getting back into my car this woman walked by me on the phone and i swear to go she said 'i'll kill him if he tries, i've done it once i'll do it again' and i've never been more concerned and curious all at once." chance mused. "but now all i'm left with is so many unanswered questions."

"so this might seem like a totally insane request, but would you let me ride around with you for a day?" chance questioned, a hopeful look on his face. "i'll try not to be a bother, i'll even pay you for it. i'm just trying to do a character study and this felt like the best way to go about it."

"do you ever find yourself at a party without any clue to why you were even invited?" chance questioned absentmindedly as he watched unfamiliar face after unfamiliar face pass by. "normally i don't mind getting down at a good shindig, but this one is dreadfully boring, i mean the classical music? a bit over kill at trying to be fancy."

"you know being an ambassador for a sportswear brand is all fun and games until they want you to get caught by paparazzi actually working out in it." chance mused, wiping the sweat from his brow as he pretended not to notice the cameras flashing down the street. "i'm more of an indoor workout kind of guy, where there's air conditioning preferably."

[ LEE DOHYUN, CIS MAN, HE/HIM] — i’m pretty sure that was just CHANCE CHOI of  THE RICH AND FAMOUS that just passed by. the TWENTY-SEVEN year old ACTOR has been a resident here in the upper east side for FIVE YEARS.  they’re known for being WITTY & DEBONAIR, but i overheard someone mention they’re also SLY & IMPULSIVE…considering they’re an SCORPIO i think there might be some truth to it. but maybe that’s just because they’re always worried someone might find out about REDACTED.  something about them has always reminded me of THE SMELL OF THE OCEAN, SUNLIGHT FLITERING THROUGH YOUR FINGERS, ICED COFFEE ON A HOT DAY  but maybe that’s just because they like to PAINT & DECORATE in their free time.

BIOGRAPHY

tw: sex, drugs  as the son of a famous hollywood director, no one was surprised when chance appeared in his first movie when he was barely three years old; doe-eyed and confused, his father feeding him every line with a proud smile on his face. yet somehow he thrived, many claiming it was because his mother had been a popular actress back in south korea so it must have run in his blood. by the time he turned 10 he’d been in more movies than he could possibly remember, he was hollywood’s favourite child star, a nepo baby beloved by the world for his adorable appearance and natural skill. it was only by luck (and perhaps good genetics) that he aged into an attractive young man, growing out of his boyish charms and showing the world he was destined to be a successful leading man. yet a chance grew up he lived a rather particular and unusual life. he never attended a real school, his classroom had been in a trailer on set alongside other child actors. the only prom he ever attended was in a movie, and he’d grown up put on a pedestal, his privacy non-existence, invaded by masses of fans and paparazzi trying to get the latest scoop on hollywood’s Golden Boy. but chance kept his good reputation despite that, he was known for being kind albeit a bit oblivious at times. yet as he began to get older, this pressure of perfection slowly began to weigh him down, leaving him confused as to if he really knew who he was, or if he’d just been conditioned into the person he was raised to be. this may have been how he slowly began to resent his perfect image, starting to allow his impulses to take control. pictures of him partying at clubs began to flood the tabloids, his arms wrapped around a new pretty girl every few months. it was like he wanted to show the world he wasn’t the golden child they wanted him to be, he was adult, he was messy, he was human just like them, he could make mistakes. and mistakes he certainly did make. being rich and famous meant the world was all but on a silver platter for him, his ‘friends’ encouraged his bad habits, from sex to drugs, he let himself go wild, ultimately ending up in more than one scandal, getting labelled as an ex-child star now acting out to seem mature. it took damage control from his PR team to clean up his reputation, though behind closed doors chance was still the same mess he’d grown to be. yet to the rest of the world, he was back on screen, starring in blockbusters and charming fans with his sweet smile.

HEADCANONS 

he is bisexual, with no lean in either direction. however, he’s never publicly been in a relationship with a man because he’s worried about his reputation as an actor.

as a child chance got his start acting because his father used to put him in his films, which eventually lead to him getting speaking roles

he’s acted in most genres as a teen/young adult he’s did a lot of YA franchises. but now as an adult he favours acting in action films and dramas. 

he has many accolades and has been nominated for several oscars, but only won once.
