EPISODE 1.0
+ KI NOTES
here's another short update and i just decided to impulsively recode the forward and (slightly) edit the chapter layout so :/ & with the introduction of the won, elaine and woobin this marks the official introduction of all 6 characters! as mentioned in the author's comment thing .. if anyone wants to change their love interest/ fc/ any other thing please do let me know asap !

being a youtuber was hard. won had 0 ideas for his next video and was contemplating on just not posting a video. he knew that he was in a priviledged position: not everyone could do something they were passionate in. and him, being able to do what he truly enjoyed, should be able to just pick up a camera and film something. he wished it was easier said than done.
sometimes, his boyfriend would help him with ideas. minghao was extremely talented and creative and seemed to have an unending pool of new content for won. it was then a brief idea of doing a 'boyfriend tag' came to mind but he knew he couldn't. not when his boyfriend was the xu minghao from popular group seventeen. not when it was his boyfriend and he too, was a boy. not when he was korean and his boyfriend was chinese. it was like their relationship existed to defy every single korean societal norm about relationships. 
his said boyfriend was also busy in the dance practice room dancing his legs away and an idea (a more doable one, of course) came to mind. maybe he could do a dancing challenge? minghao thought him the dance to thanks ages ago (read: 3months ago) and won figured he could do something to support minghao who was going to comeback with a song in 3 days. 
the problem now was that won barely remembered anything he was taught. the choreography to seventeen songs were too intricate, complicated and difficult and won didn't have the braincells and energy to do them. he wondered how minghao seemed to be able to dance so effortlessly and flawlessly. in fact, he wondered how anyone was able to do that at all. and so, won found himself watching several dance practice videos. he was addicted because they made dancing look so easy. but from the occasional "my legs feel like flying the off" from his boyfriend, he knew it wasn't. but for minghao and to hopefully garner more fans for him, won would try (even though he knew he would fail miserably).

joshua couldn't wait to get off practice. the analog clock on the wall read that it was currently 12am and him and the rest of the boys were still hard at work. they probably wouldn't be done until 5am. or later. the good thing about doing a really long distance relationship was that the difference in timezones allowed them to talk. comeback seasons were the absolute worst and joshua had almost no time for the girl he loved the most. his phone was cast aside somewhere with the rest of the member's phones. phones are a distraction! he remembers hearing one of the trainers say and since then, the members made it a point to not use their phones unless it was a designated rest timing. seventeen wanted a daesang and if using his phone for 5 minutes might risk that, joshua would rather not. still, time was ticking slowly and joshua couldn't wait for the long hand to turn back to 12 and the short hand to hit 4. 
meanwhile, 9580km away in the streets of los angeles, elaine moon had just left her house to go for a jog. she's quite proud of her everyday routine and the amount of dedication she has to waking up at 6:30am every morning. as the thought slips into her head, she can also hear jasper, her long-time friend, say "why wake up at 630am when you can just not wake up lol" and she internally chuckles but carries on running. as much as she's thankful that jasper is one of her only friends who are still in los angeles, there's a part of her that wishes that joshua was still there. that he didn't fly miles and miles away to find a career and start his life there. he had left too soon. too soon. and while her plan was to go back home to take a nap, joshua had texted her 6 hours ago asking for a facetime and how could elaine say no to that?

honestly, woobin was surprised they made it that long. and by 'they', he meant mr-worldwide-handsome kim seokjin and himself. the nobody. the adoptee. he was so sure that someone would spot them together but it's been two years and nothing. no news, no sign of anyone finding out anytime soon. woobin wasn't sure if he could handle anyone outside his small circle of close friends and family finding out. knetizens were intimidating. he remembers in 2014 when seokjin was caught up in a '' scandal where fans noticed a box of condoms in a picture he posted. sure, seokjin (and bascially the whole world) has moved on from that because it was just condoms. but what happens when people see that bts seokjin was gay and in a relationship. what would happen then?
it's been two years. the length of time sinks in by woobin can't figure out if that's a long time or a short time. his ex-girlfriend, ahyeon, was with him for almost a year and things were so rough. but seokjin made everything seem like it was okay. ahyeon was always busy fawning over any handsome k-pop idol she worked with (woobin makes a note that seokjin was one of them). but seokjin never commented about any idol. ever. and woobin was sure that almost all of them were 100% better looking and definitely more talented than he'd ever be. despite being so busy, seokjin always made sure to accompany woobin for dinner — no matter how busy he was. even if he had a schedule while woobin was eating dinner, he was sure to either drop woobin a text or pretend to go to the bathroom to give woobin a short call.
it was things like that that made woobin sure the two years were short because they would last much longer than that.

Chapter 14: all the free stuff won is snatching left and right....... HELLO? I AM JUST TRYING TO DATE A KPOP IDOL HERE? n the way he emphatized with intl fans like? UHM ALLY? won is our COMRADE. also their dynamics as friends!!!!! always love a good push/pull *__* seulbi acting all cynical with the entire kpop system but would equally her pants once seventeen comes out on stage [clinks glass] it’s all about the in denial. ALSO...... IS THAT............. ELAINE???????????????????? ELAINE??????? (op has, yet again, chosen to cry) we want non celebrity partner solidarity...... we want NON CELEBRITY PARTNER SOLIDARITY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IN CHENS FIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and also by now i mean take ur time <3 its all about the slowburn)

also help..... TAEHYUNG AND JIN KISSJWKWKKFLFFFLFFFFLLLFLFJFJWFHJD This is 2019. Taehyung Is Accused Of Potentially Home Wrecking A Member’s Relationship. He Just Wants To Snuggle In Peace. also woobin is unexpectedly soooo endearing like he’s all tough n chic but then u remember he’s passive aggressive n gets unnerved by v and jin kiss?! articles like it all makes sense........ jin bagged a charmer and we respect him for it. but also appease ur boyfriend HARDER JIN! TRY HARDER! "platonic" is the new "it’s not you, it’s me" :-/

n here they are.... the purest, sweetest, Most Wholesome n Unadulterated Even Tho The Circumstances They Started With Weren’t The Most Ideal Or Were Ideal At all. i think my favourite thing about these two is how both are ironically unselfish esp when it comes to each other like given the chance hakjoon wouldn’t be the most happy about eunji coming over at o’ clock amidst draining preparations but he would probably do the same thing (& vice versa) and neither could really complain bc they missed (and LOVE!????) each other that much!!! (also hakjoon always make it a point to enumerate The Best Things About Eunji in every of his narration like hes just so filled w love and love and appreciation and his entire purpose is to extol her very existence and UGHHHHHHH NOT ALLLLL MENNNNNNNN) but also.... who de feck is trying to harm eunji again you in DONKEYS

thank u for updating (again)!!!! *____* it’s always such a ~beyond pleasant surprise seeing the Newly Updated Fic! notif pop out and seeing ur fic on top the list like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF....... THIS IS WHAT LOVE FEELS LIKE. WHIPLASH AND A LIMITLESS SUPPLY OF SATISFACTION. thank you soooo much again! also regarding re-opening the fic for dynamic’s sake, it’s up to you as long as u know it’s possible n won’t demand as much and will also benefit outside the dynamic criteria!!!!! whichever, know that we’ll always be supporting!

Chapter 14: it's the boys squad chapter!!
won is so cute :( i can't imagine how much cuter he'll get when he's with minghao uwu
the struggle of overseas fans tho asdghjkl--ALSO maybe it's just me but i feel like we might know the girl with joshua hong banner :))) a big maybe tho hehe
woobin and seokjin is the definition of fluff!! i love how their endings are always fluffy after the little tug-of-war they get through lol thank god for jin being the bf who prioritize woobin's happiness :')
hakjoon wondering how he could ever get together with someone like eunji--that's definitely my boy :" eunji taking the small amount of time out of her busy schedules to see him ;; the ending tho, OMG i hope they'll be okay!!

about opening the fic for a while...i guess that's all up to you? if you think you can handle more characters then i guess why not? hehe

Chapter 14: <span class='smalltext text--lighter'>Comment on <a href='/story/view/1323069/14'> 2.5 </a></span>
i have failed to comment on the previous chapters kdjshfa sobbles but trust me when i say i read all and i loved every! single! one! of! them!!!! all these cute couples have different personalities I'M LIVING FOR THIS.

okay but it's funny how there hasn't been any interactions between won and minghao yet but i'm already so hyped up fr their story!!! i absolutely LOVE LOV E LOVE seulbi and won's friendship!! seulbi's bluntness vs won's sassy remarks !!! i love their banter,, i envisioned their friendship to be like this so thank YOU for making it come alive uwu their entire short section had me lmaoing about the nicknames and secrecydsjfkhs and won being minghao's no.1 fan!!!! YES!! YOU GO MY BOY. SUPPORT YOUR MAN.

oh my god i love woobin and seokjin's rs sjdkhfj jin knowing every single thing about his man and notices every small detail about him is so damn sweet we stan a caring bf!!! but woobin's jealousy is so understandable like... all the skinship between idol groupmates and their groupmates just being too damn handsome for their own good sobs woobin babie i still have your back ilu <3 <3 <3

hakjoon being paranoid about the figure in the station and even taking his taser JDSKHFJASD. eunji's so sweet and thoughtful?! like. sweetie you're the one pulling all-nighters with your practices you're too good for this world. oof but the part about how 'this is something people will never know about idols' hit! me!!! right THERE. like it's so true how we'll never know their true and complete sides of their personalities. BIG OOF!!! and what a way to end the chapter,, does this mean their rs is going to be revealed soon with someone following her and stuff?! we shall wait to find out...

also this is too long of a comment but can i just say that i'm so mf thankful that you're continuing with this story?! so many stories don't ever make it past the reviews stage and many don't come to life so thank you so much for putting the effort to write short snippets like this. please don't ever feel entitled or pressured to post anything because we'll appreciate any sort of update from you, whenever!!! thank you so so so mf much :( all the best with your assignments and take care babie <3

Chapter 13: the first thing that came to my mind was "what if soobin is a chanbaek shipper" lmao
the whole things is just so cute AND i can relate to seventeen comeback,, Home was an amazing comeback to start 2019
i really loved how every part has different kind of distinct emotions that stands out btw! that's what i felt anyway ;) i really enjoyed it hehe

also! i won't be changing much or anything major like a change of fc and love interest (unless you think i should :)), but i might rework his app a bit, make the flow of their story better!
