Title: 7/10
Your title is quite intriguing, especially since I am a pretty hardcore fan of AU History, but as of yet I do not see how it plays into the story.

5/5: Originality
From what you have posted so far, I can say that your story is quite original. Maybe, in fact, a little too much so? I know that sounds weird but the thing is that it doesn't fit in with other stories and so will not get much reader response. The fact that your story doesn't even use any idols or actors wil make it even less attractive to readers on AFF; even using actors to portray your own characters is not enough to entice. I would highly suggest remaking the story with a band or with the actors as themselves instead of the overly complicated cast list.

Also, the whole scene with all the boys meeting at once with th run, that is unbelievable and not only improbable, but impossible. The whole story is feeling too forced and like you're trying too hard to push characters and events together, thereby completely forgoing any believability.

3/10: Setting
You don't give much of a setting for your story. In th
