Introduction
Hello and welcome to my series about the live-action version of Tokyo Revengers! ^-^) This is a completely self-indulgent and slightly cringy tale of Jae Winchester who gets dragged along on the journey of a lifetime against her will. How will an introverted, socially inept girl fair against all of these rowdy, extroverted delinquents? Well, we shall see haha

The title of this story was taken from “Save Me” by BTS. There’s this amazing English cover from a few years ago [it’s this one here] and the song is so beautiful and his voice is amazing, so that really bled into the theme for this fic. At least, I hope it did haha.

I also feel like I should mention that I have not seen the anime nor read the manga. I’m going strictly off of the live-action and how I’ve seen them described in other fics, so if they’re a bit OOC, I do apologize. This is just how I interpret they would act.

Synopsis/Backstory
''Nothing about my life has ever been exceptional or extraordinary. On the contrary, it was quite a mundane and sometimes boring life, but it’s the life I was given and no matter how much I try to change it, it just doesn’t work out for me. Maybe this is what my life is meant to be? It’s not the worse life, I suppose, it just gets lonely, and sometimes I wonder why I can’t be like other people. I was hoping my life would suddenly turn into an anime when I moved to Japan, but it was the same life just in a different location. A prettier location, though. Do I believe in fate? I can’t answer that. Sometimes, it feels like things are just out of our control no matter how hard we try but… sometimes I wonder if we truly push past our limits, maybe we can alter the course of our lives. Meh, it sounds like a lot of trouble and a lot of socialization. Maybe it’s better to just stick to my mundane deck of cards. Except… I wasn’t given a choice. My deck of cards was ripped away from me only for an unfamiliar, more terrifying deck to be forced into my hand by the shadowy hands of something I can’t understand. I should have stayed home.''
