disclaimers & warnings:
• this is the rewritten 2025 "Afterglow" WayV edition (kind of merged with "Kids in the dark" which I've taken down)
• Yes, this story is centered around WayV members, but it's set in Seoul, simply because I know Seoul - and it's always easier to write what you know, right?
• English is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes
• I do not ship idols irl!!
• Do not take my work and post elsewhere
• The characters will be toxic, but I am NOT trying to romanticize anything. I have lived through my fair share of depression, toxic and abuse relationships, and I would never do anything to glorify any of that, so please don't misinterpret my vision with this story
• Lastly, I hope you'll enjoy <3
