---------------------------------

Hey guys! Here’s my new story, featuring JJProject, T-ara and EXO! This will probably be my biggest project after Dream High 2: The Idol’s Life; it’s going to be really long. As you can probably tell from the synopsis, this will be a romance/mystery/thriller story. It starts off as romance, mostly between the three main couples, then develops into a mystery/thriller story as someone starts killing their friends one by one, and they have to try and stop the killer before whoever it is gets to them. Also, the lovelines in this story will be quite messed up, but there will be three main couples that I will be focusing on, and six main characters for the story. The main characters are: JB, Jiyeon, Luhan, Yoona, Kai and Krystal. As for the lovelines...

Lovelines:

JB-Jiyeon-Myungsoo

Sora-JB-Jiyeon

Luhan-Yoona-Minho

Jessica-Luhan-Yoona

Kai-Krystal

As you probably guessed, the main couples are JJCouple (JB/Jiyeon), Luyoon (Luhan/Yoona) and Kaistal(Kai/Krystal). The Kai-Krystal loveline is that way, because their romance doesn’t really need a third party; there is, however, a huge twist in their romance that really screws things up. Myungsoo and Sora, and Jessica and Minho will be the main third parties in the JJCouple and Luyoon romances respectively.

Other than the lovelines, I will also be focusing on the idea of family in this story; for example, the siblingship between JB, Yoona and Jr, and that of Luhan and Lay; Lay plays a huge part in Luhan’s life for this story, but you’ll have to read on to find out.

Of course, most of the characters will not be, like, idols for the story. Of the six main characters, only Jiyeon remains an idol; all the other characters have other jobs. T-ara and Infinite will remain as idols, of course, but EXO, JJProject, f(x), TVXQ’s Changmin, SNSD’s Taeyeon, 2PM’s Wooyoung, and Lee Yeon Hee will no longer be idols/actors. Many other idols and actors will also feature in the story, but only briefly.

Also, you all probably noticed that the “rich” characters like JB and Luhan have bodyguards; only Yoona, Jr and Kai do not have bodyguards. Yoona because she moved to America and was “independent” enough to do away with her bodyguard, Jr because he’s a student and schools do not allow badass bodyguards to follow you around, and Kai because he’s an FBI officer himself, and his father trusts him to be able to hold his own in a fight.

So, I hope you all enjoy the story! Please support my fic! Remember to comment and subscribe!

Chapter 8: The sibling love JB has for Yoona was one of my favorite parts because it helped me remember that he does have a heart(which is a fact I tend to forget because of his nonchalance XD).
And I absolutely love LuYoon's relationship~ their little banters really lighten the mood and it intrigues me to think how they'll end up together.
Also the part where Minho gives a faint smile and looks away, not meeting Krystal's eyes... do I smell a love triangle or am I just being delusional??
Anyway love the chapter and the little insight on JB and Jiyeon and I'm looking forward to more developments in their relationship <3
