Xolia Cho is a thrill seeking 17 year old, living with her very miserable family. Coming home to neverending arguments and yells puts a strain on her mood, and she's sick of it. Xolia wants out, and she doesn't think she can wait until she's 18 to find her own place-she doesn't have the money, either. Na Jaemin is a very bored 17 year old, living with a group of foster kids like he has been since birth. He's tired of waiting for someone to accept him, tired of living in a home that was never home to him. Jaemin isn't allowed to be independent, yet-he's too young. But then Jaemin and Xolia cross paths. While running errands, they bump into each other when taking a small break. Little did they know, the second they met was the start of their adventure. ××× started: 04.29.18 finished: n/a ××× © rosyuta 2018 PLAIGIARISM IS A CRIME. ××× 051118: ranked 4 - #taeyongnct 053018: ranked 29 - #nctjaehyun
