A match made in the stars

Match

She had forgotten all about the matching-making service she had applied to, apart from a couple of days after they contacted her to verify her identity, she didn't hear anything until a couple of weeks later she got an email with some more questions.

Are you interested in being in the public eye? Would you be okay being in the public eye?

How do you feel about your partner having a big family?

Do you love food?

They were an odd set of questions and she wondered if they were each for a different match or all from the same one.

Meanwhile, Jin was surprised by the swiftness of the matching-making service's response. Although his identity was anonymous from his matches until he himself revealed it, it wasn't from the staff. They had contacted him to verify his identity and he wondered if knowing who he was had put him on the fast track because only a week after submitting his application he got some follow-up questions.

Are you happy with physical affection (hugs/cuddling)?

Do you drink a lot? Do you mind if your partner doesn't drink?

He wasn't sure how it worked, but if this potential match ticked all his boxes and had these as her own then she sounded perfect. Although he did like to drink it didn't bother him at all if she didn't. He had the guys to drink with after all.

The next day he received another email.

You have a match!

Please look over the profile we have sent you and let us know if you would like to proceed with this match.

The next step is to communicate. Let us know how you would like to be contacted by your match and we let them know. Then you can chat and see if we have found your perfect match!

Jin opened the attached profile and began to read.

Age: 30

Good. We're not far apart in age.

Looking for:

- Someone who understands my need for alone time.

Perfect. A fellow introvert.

- Someone I can talk to about my day and the things that interest me.

It's like she read my mind!

- Someone who doesn't mind lots of physical affection (hugs/cuddling).

I wonder if she's like Taehyung...

- Someone who doesn't go out a lot or at least doesn't expect me to go with them.

Ah, she's not a party animal either. I wonder if she likes video games...

- Someone who doesn't drink a lot and doesn't mind that I don't drink at all.

That's okay.

Additional notes:

- not interested in being in the public eye, but would be okay if it was unavoidable. Minimal involvement would be preferred

Interesting... at least I would know she wasn't with me to use my fame.

- the size of their family doesn't matter if I will see them a lot then I hope that we will get along

I hope so too.

- there is nothing better than discovering something tasty

We can try lots of new things together!

Do you want to contact your match?

Yes.

Jin put down his email address and prayed that he was doing the right thing.
