hello hello. before you dive into this hellhole that is my story i would like to make sure you know what's waiting for you ahead. ao3 is amazing for this with its endless tags and stuff, but i want to have it all here as well so you can see it.

˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗

-gay relationships, homosexuality, fruitiness, all that jazz
(duh)

-transgender park jimin!!

-anxiety, panic attacks, loads and loads of issues (borderline personality disorder, adhd, eating disorder)

-mature language
(swearing, etc)

-vaguely described mature content
(sensuality over sexuality)

-violence
(yeah...)

-alcohol use
(yeah.....)

-unlikeable, realistic characters
(these characters aren't meant to be seen as perfect. even the main characters, regardless of their mental health, both do some nasty shit and make some decisions which hurt people around them.)

-corruption arc
(oops!)

-enemies to fwb to lovers

-slowburn

-switch!!!

-idol jk
(talented asf, self produced, plays instruments too...)

-unrealistic portrayal of the fashion industry (no clue how realistic it is, but i'm adjusting stuff to fit the story so if something's not believable, just roll with it lol)

-mentions of other idols
(not creative enough to make up any more ocs sorry — random kpop boys and girls will have to suffice, i know y'all aren't complaining)

-sideships
(even if you don't like the ships i choose, focus will be on the main ship aka taekook so just ignore others)

-a whole lot of dialogue

-a straight relationship
(just trust me and don't leave the story yet)

-5k-9k words per chapter, my specialty

-i do NOT own bts. their real personalities have nothing to do with this book. this is purely for entertainment purposes

a/n:

yeah so this is that infamous idol!jk x fashion designer!tae thingy that i've been annoying you all with on my announcement board for months now lol

it was a mess. there were like fifty different versions of this plot, but i think this one made the most sense.

yup!! our girl eunchae is here!! i needed a female character but i didn't wanna have any feud with gg stans so i decided to choose an oc. i kinda remembered her and wanted to bring her back. for those of you who don't know, eunchae is an original character from my old jk x oc fic called chasing the stars. she was a badass so i didn't wanna just abandon her so here she is!! also, there's a possibility i will be rewriting that fic as taekook so... we'll see!!

i was unsure about the whole bpd thing because i was really curious about it and i wanted to include it in a story. i know i need to be careful and i will do my best to display it correctly. i've done a lot of research and i know it can come in many different forms and that every trigger is connected to emotional trauma and that these people are seen as all these negative things but the POINT of this story is to kinda show that they're all human, deserving of love and happiness and that some people, although "healthy", can have all those "flaws" that are assigned to borderline people

i am not trying to romanticise the illness. it will not be the main part of the story but it will very much affect the plot, the characters' decisions and actions. the goal isn't to have the borderline character "fixed" by the power of love by the end of the book, but to have them find important people who would help them on their slow, but steady way to improvement and at least a little easier life thanks to therapy and support

if there are any inaccuracies, they are completely unintentional. if you find them, please let me know as kindly as possible, possibly in my private messages, so i can correct them and hopefully not repeat them in the future

i still do really hope you enjoy. i've put a lot of effort and time into this and i know wattpad is kinda dead, at least for me, and that people barely care about these books at this point but feedback would be really appreciated. i do this for myself and i enjoy it but being ignored no matter how hard i work sure can affect me negatively from time to time. so yeah, if you like it, don't be shy :D

the first chapter is out <3
