The whole table is very weak, passive. They would limp preflop every time if possible. Most people bought in for $100
V1 is a quiet Asian guy in his 20s. He hasn't said much and is very weak passive. I have not seen him raise preflop much, if at all. He bought in for $200 and has slowly chipped down to $110.
V2 is a weak passive black guy in his 20s. He is dressed kind of down-to-earth hipsterish. He bought in for $100 and slowly lost it. He has rebought again for $100 and is now at $90.
Hero ($450) has been the most aggressive at the table raising preflop 2-3 times an orbit and cbetting frequently. No one is really playing back at me. I bought in for $300 and have chipped up to $450 without many showdowns.

I know I should fold this preflop but I decided to play it since they were somewhat connected.

V2 calls, I call, BB folds
I'm open ended but I didn't want to bet this against two short stacks OOP. Limping an Ace is definitely in both of their ranges. I opt to call getting 4:1 but begin to think V2 can be on a flush draw when he calls. I doubt V1 is ever betting his flush draw here and he would have bet stronger with Ax+
Turn ($25) 7
I check, V1 bets $15, V2 calls, I call
I decide to check here to see what they will do and pot control this hand. I feel if I lead here I will have to b/f especially if V2 raises me which I don't want to do since I have showdown value now. I decide to call because V2 hasn't made it clear that I am beat yet. I feel this is where I messed up the hand. It probably should have either been a b/c or c/r being that they are both short stacked.
River ($70) Q
I check, V1 bets $30, V2 shoves $68
Hero?
Also, how was my thought process throughout hand?
