Encoded in our DNA (A BTS Reverse Harem x OC story)

Foreword

A Quick shoutout/recommendation

I recommend to anyone that hasn't read it to try Borahae by BTS_PinkyPromises. It's fantastic and I have already re-read most of it over a dozen times. (I can probably attribute my urge to write this story because I love Borahae so much.)

Edit 6/16/20:  BTS_PinkPromises changed screen names since I first posted this.  You can find the story under the screen name sugasnappea instead.

Story framework

Most of the chapters will be in Daisy's first person point of view. But a few here and there will be in BTS 3rd person point of view. I may include some first person chapters from the guy's perspectives later, but I want to get a feel for how the story is going first.

Regarding the texting moments. I don't use my phone or tablet to write the chapters. I use Google Docs and copy paste each chapter. So unless I can find images of emojis I want to use they probably won't include the proper emoji images.

Also, the story is slow paced as I am developing a step by step timeline on their lives together.  I will do some time skips but, at least in the beginning, most everything will be from moment to moment.  And just an FYI  they don't meet up until Chapter 6.  

***Edited 4/2/20  I am wanting to draw emphasis at the above paragraph.  It is slow paced and most of the beginning is essentially fluff, character building, and the stirrings of early romance.  I'm on chapter 48 right now and there has only been mild conflict at this point.  But I want to demonstrate that life isn't always about conflict.  If you want more conflict in a story and find mine too slow paced for you then I understand, but I wanted to reiterate this point as it was really the one concerning detail when the framework of the story started building in my head.

***Edited 3/17/21 Because it has been asked often I am going to go ahead and address this here.  Originally I was planning on writing the story as realistic as possible and have the members all speak the amount of English they were capable of.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the story work that way so assume that they speak more English than they originally let on, or since this is an alternate timeline of sorts understand that they just happen to speak English in this story.

Let me also add that when characters do speak in Korean it looks like this:  

"So and so tells so and so how it is"

If it looks like this it's the current character thinking.

Updates

As it stands right now, with how rapidly this story is coming together I plan on doing updates Tuesdays and Fridays. I will notify via an author's note if for some reason that changes because life gets in the way or other outside factors.

***Edit  4/2/20:  I got a little crazy with extra updates and a little behind with actually writing so I may be changing this to once a week for a little bit.  Still in making  a decision mode.

***Edit 5/2/21:  I finished with the story on 4/29/21 so the updates have been moved up to three times a week.  MWF mornings.  This should have the story fully complete mid/lateJuly.

Visual Introduction to Daisy

I found these images on Pixabay (a copyright free image website), and they were almost exactly how I was imagining Daisy would look like. I am not great with Photoshop, but I did attempt to make her lips a different shade than the lipstick color she already had.
