→ an: OT7 are all present, but if you do not like reading about members who portray negative personality traits or behaviors, this is not the story for you. I am OT7 and double bias JK and Tae so please refrain from the "you hate ____" comments. This story is fiction and in no way shape or form do I think that this story represents the members in real life.

→ warnings: see each chapter for specific warnings, but this story will cover some triggering topics such as being an orphan, racism, misogyny (feminism is like non-existent), men being creeps, dubious consent, a non-consensual kiss and groping, attempted s.assault, physical assault that results in bruising and minor wounds to all involved, reader experiences fear. please, if these are sensitive topics for you, don't read! the attack scene is not written super graphic, but it is very clear what the characters' intent is when the scene happens.
