Jimin was right, in a way – you could be fairly confident that whatever was happening, they were at least alive.

But that didn’t stop you from worrying. Some things were worse than death.

Oooohhh! Things are happening!! THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!!

Okay so first of all, thank you for tagging me in updates for this story because I do not want to miss anything and this story is so good. I know I’ve said this a million and one times, but honestly, it’s to the point where I have a specific reading position for this fic because I want to focus entirely on this story.

Second of all, can I just jump inside of the story please? I want to give her a hug. Tell her that it's okay to not be okay, that it's okay to cry and that she doesn’t have to be strong for anyone except her self. Jimin and Taehyung were trying so hard to be a comfort to her, and I’m sure that she appreciates it even though she was worried about Yoongi and Seokjin. I love the comfort that they bring her and they’re the perfect friends for that.

I'd also like to give a hug to Namjoon because gosh I hate his dad more than anything, and the fact that he’s making Namjoon feel pressured to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders makes me so angry. I’m not sure if it’s because this is some twisted way of teaching him the ways of their world, but I’d like to give his dad a nice kick to the shins. And then run away very, very fast. 

I want to make her and Namjoon hot cocoa with whipped cream and marshmallows if they both desire it, and then add the chocolate wafer sticks in too because they're so dang good. And then I would proceed to give them all of the love, cuddles, and hugs in the world.

And this part:

“Too tight?” you asked quietly, searching his face.

“It’s fine. I could’ve done this myself, you know,” he mumbled, not looking at you.

You narrowed your eyes. “Aren’t you the one always telling me to accept help?”

Despite his lack of verbal response, his sigh was enough to signify his resignation as the point you’d made.

AAHHHH! There were butterflies in my stomach. Just let her help you please!!

Now that we see the cogs beginning to turn I’m so curious to see what’s going to happen next. I’ve always loved a good party, but this one will probably be more action-packed than the very few I’ve gone to. 

Ash you are amazing. I’m always speechless by the way you write and the things that you say. You are able to simply let people feel and invoke so many emotions it’s astonishing. Thank you so much for this, and for simply allowing us to see what beautiful stories are within you. I admire you.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Fractured (part 3)

prev / Series Masterlist / next

**Unfortunately additional hyperlinks cause the fic not to show up in the Tumblr tags, so they’ll need to be added at a later date. Sorry for any inconvenience :((

Word Count: 5.9k

Pairing: Yoongi x Reader

Genre: Mafia AU, angst, fluff, (future) smut

Warnings: objectification, mentions of sex, guns, knives, murder, and death (non-graphic), mentions of blood (not gory, but it’s there several times), non-serious injury, depictions of mental illness in the form of: nightmares, self-loathing, anxiety

Rating: 18+

Summary: You’d always known something was strange and different about your “family,” but it wasn’t as though your environment encouraged curiosity from you. You thought you wanted to know all the answers, but nobody ever told you that the more you learned the more pieces of yourself you would leave behind.

A/N: Part 3 is here! This is going to be the last ‘introductory’ chapter before some more exciting things happen in the series. Let me know what you think!

Let me know if you’d like to be tagged!

It was cold.

Damp.

The floor beneath your feet was solid concrete, drops of water littering the floor, having fallen from the pipes above.

You were unarmed. Only a plain black t-shirt and cotton pants – why was this all you were wearing?

The cold air thoroughly chilled your bones, your teeth chattering together in your skull.

Keep reading

You’ll lose yourself in the feeling and let it linger as long as you can, even though this is never how you imagined having (if this even is such) the king, the man, the boy you fell in love with at fifteen.

Record scratch. Freeze frame.

NAMJOON IS EUNUCH KIM?!?!?!?!!

Okay, all mindblowing moments aside, this was so good! You’ve ruined me twice today so your “Rain Ruining Kharli” privileges have been REVOKED (no they haven’t). I've actually been wanting to share my thoughts on this story for the longest, but I wanted to wait until the end for a big wrap up. However with this chapter, I feel like I can't wait that long because there's just so much that I want to say and I might burst if I keep it in.

It truly was a complete surprise when I found out that Namjoon actually was eunuch Kim ngl. I just had a big dumb biss moment and now I feel like everything has been making a lot more sense, especially because I’ve been seeing people rooting for him, and so I would like the join the “I love eunuch Kim” train. I hope he likes flowers. And MicRibs (jkjkjk).

Also with this chapter, it’s nice to see the lead up of events that caused the first part of MLT, or in other words, the upper echelon of me being in shambles. All of the pieces have been put together so nicely and your storytelling is like no other. I always feel like I’m constantly hanging off of each and every sentence, every word. You told me before that my comments are lovely, but that's only because they're a reflection of what you write. I'm just the mirror that lets you see all of the emotions you pull from me while I read every single one of your works, but you're the base that. Everything that you write is so beautiful and intricate and you write stories so well it’s unfathomable and mystifying.

Anyways, this was so long so I’m sorry for rambling. This is almost as long as your drabble and that’s a bit embarrassing, but it’s Kharli giving love to Rain hours so I shouldn’t feel like this. Thank you rain for another perfect part of this amazing story and I can’t wait to see what else is in store for Yoongi and the main character. I’m forever giving you my heart.💕💕💕💕

It’s the way the sun has shifted, rays falling differently onto Yoongi’s face to kiss the pale skin beneath his sleepy eyes before scattering out across his cheeks. How the light dapples across the nose that occasionally scrunches in irritation at the countless dust particles floating around, haloing him in a golden glow that you wish you could capture in your memory for safekeeping (and later revisiting, when you inevitably feel the twinge of yearning).

Whew! I’m so glad that I took out several minutes for myself and read this drabble. I loved how you showed Yoongi’s softer side for this part because it definitely shows a near-complete contrast to how he is in more current drabbles. He feels so light and calm...like the quote I picked out🙂.And I also just really love how some of the drabbles tie in with others, for example, this one and the previous drabble and the garden🥺. I can tell you’ve done a lot of planning and research with this entire series and it shows. The flow of events and your words are a true beauty and I can’t wait to read more!

Thank you so much Rain for this. This series has a special place in my heart and so do you💕💕💕💕. I’m sending lots of love!💕

You knock three times, three short raps, then push open the door to the crown prince’s private library. Sunlight invades the room unabashedly through the intricate window design, bathing the entire space in the warmth of a spring pleasantly acquiescing to summer. You inhale the scent of the aged wooden bookshelves and the worn paper they house. You feel yourself finally relax, having worked all the morning away.

It was she who always insisted on being independent, regardless of the strict rules that society placed on your gender and your rank. She taught you how to make the best of the resources you had, but also never to take any opportunities for granted when they came by chance. She is the best person you will ever know, and you… you owe it to her to take care of yourself

Oh Rain,

I feel like I was holding my breath at the end. The bundling of emotions coming to a climax where at the end it eases into something softer. More calm and gentle. Each and every time I read another drabble of this series, I get reminded of the times when I would read hours on end. Your stories are some that I could never think of putting down and this one is no different.

Thank you so much Rain for this. Happy belated birthday! I'm sending you my heart 💕💕💕

Should I be studying for my lab final right now? Yes. Will I?....Debatable.

Ah Rain! I don’t think you know how happy I am to be able to read another part of this series again. Even if it only may be one tonight. A part of me wants to binge through it and catch up with the remaining chapters because it’s hard to see people talking about them and I’m over here wallowing in school work 😢. 

Nevertheless, it’s always a pleasure reading things from you, especially Moonlit Throne. It’s refreshing it a way that both the main character and I are both finding our footings again. Watching her reminisce the times spent with her mother as they celebrated Chuseok was heartwarming. Light, in a way where you see that she’s healing. I’m glad that Yoongi and her can both find comfort in each other during times like this. Especially during holidays that you spend with family and friends. Maybe they can become each other’s family over time... Oooh! and the part when Yoongi said “...with me?” ?!?!?!?! AHHH! The little prince has a crush😍🥰

Ah, now you’re making me want to binge this but I really shouldn’t. But I’ll be back asap to give you all of my love, my sweet Rain. I can’t wait to dip back into the story again. I’m really excited to see where this goes! I’m sending you all of my love plus the love in every single universe there is combined💕

moonlit throne index. this is drabble 12. start from the beginning?

As the sun dips steadily into the horizon, Prince Yoongi pulls open the door to the male infirmary to find it relatively quiet.

Working on the bed immediately inside, you look up with delight. “Seja-jeonha!” Your voice may be hushed, but the joy in it is indisputable. (Yoongi quickly suppresses his instinctive smile.) “Good evening. You’re here to check on the patients again?”

Keep reading

That’s when Yoongi had won a real smile from you, wide and genuine.  That's when Yoongi made the mistake of looking at you for just a moment too long.  

At the beginning of this part, Yoongi wrote down a list of his mistakes, so now, I’ll give you a list of mine:

Thinking that I’ll be able to wake up at the ass-crack of dawn to watch the BTS ON:E concert (I mean I did, I just fell back asleep for a few minutes before my brain woke me up again and I was like oh shi-)

Thinking that I would be able to study without taking a nap first (I napped for 3 more hours)

Thinking that I would be able to survive this part without catching feelings (my heart did a thing not even 100 words in)

Ana, I know that I say this a lot, but I’ll say it again. Your writing...Is fantastic. You are able to create this balance between giving enough to sate us, but not enough to keep us coming back for more. And in a way, I think this is how I view the relationship between Yoongi and the main character. 

Every word that’s ever come out of this man’s mouth is a lie -- but there’s something that feels honest about the way he’s looking at you right now.  Something that makes you feel seasick, unsteady.

Yoongi is mysterious. He’s witty. A smartass. But god do I love him and the character that you created for him. I understand why the main character is constantly thinking about him because his very presence just gets etched onto your mind and you can’t shake it off. It’s like an itch, where if you ignore it, it somehow gets more prominent but once you scratch at it, there’s this relief and it feels a bit easier to breathe. 

“Lactose intolerant people like milkshakes as much as the rest of us,” you argue.  “They just can’t tolerate them.”

“What are you, some kind of doctor?”

This part made me snort and giggle like an idiot, so thank you Ana for this. I honestly can’t wait to read more of this fantastic world that you built, and I also really love the cookie crumbs from Guilty. That was a nice touch and it made me nostalgic. 

Ana, I’m reaching through my screen right now to give you a billion forehead kisses. I miss writing to you and reading your stories, but I hope that soon I’ll be able to talk to you again and give you all of my love. I’m keeping you in my heart forever Ana and ILY!!! Thank you again for this!!!💕

i also hope you guys know how much i appreciate every single one of you. i see your reblogs and comments and likes and i try to answer every one because it truly makes my day.  you guys make my day.

i could not post this fic without shouting out the amazing @hobi-gif because honestly, if hope didn’t read it, did i even write it? and i’m sending major love to three people who are such a source of laughter and support for me, @ladyartemesia​ @ppersonna @taetaewonderland. you guys keep me in stitches.

*************************

Yoongi had fucked up.

He’d misread the massive man’s approach, tracking him in one direction when the guy was actually headed in another.  That’s how the asshole managed to catch Yoongi off guard with one meaty fist to the face. 

It didn’t matter that it was hundreds of pounds of fat – not muscle – behind that punch.  It was wielding more than enough momentum to blow up the side of Yoongi’s face like a bomb. 

Keep reading

There’s a weight to those words that you feel in the pit of your heart. A pull that draws you to him like the reckless tides towards his moon – a gravitational longing to know what truth vibrates beneath. You wonder if he feels it too.

Okay, so I’m like half a glass of wine in and I plan on binging the rest of this series tonight, but my heart is already so so soft?!?! Like….Rain!! I knew that this chapter would be an important plot point because of the length, but this just blew my mind entirely!

Everything that was depicted was so picturesque. From the main character getting ready, to walking through the streets, to even the end when she and Yoongi were skipping rocks and talking, it was just all so beautiful and this chapter will be one that I will forever hold in my mind. 

Jungkook and Seokjin arguing was something that I didn’t expect, but expected at the same time. Seeing them bicker back and forth made me smile, even more so because of the fact that they were doing it in front of a prince and I’m sure if they knew, they would cry. Or just bow a bunch of times similar to Namjoon. Speaking of whom...Namjoon writing to letters to Chun-Ja??!!?! My whole heart went smoosh 🥺 I was clutching my phone at that because that is honestly the purest and sweetest thing ever and….GAHHHH! You know?

Also, the conversation between the main character and Yoongi was really heartwarming. I think that this is one of the first times when you begin to see her let down her guard just a little more than usual. Speaking from her heart more, rather than her mind. 

“I’d rather believe that there are some things in the world simply out of our control. But that we can still hope for those things to shift, to change for the better if we never give up.”

This line was intricate and emotional, and for a moment it almost felt like I was invading their conversation because of how raw it felt. 

Thank you so much for this Rain. You continuously amaze me with your writing and words. I’ll forever adore you. I’m sending you my heart 💕

Edit: I’m coming back seconds after you responded to my gush toward you and saying that I’m letting my willpower explode and run free for the rest of the night! I’ll see you again soon Rain😘

“How do I look, mom?”

Standing before the mirror, you nervously smooth the delicate sash of the pink hanbok for the hundredth time, careful not to lean down too much and dislocate the floral ornament carefully pinned in your hair. There have been doves fluttering in your stomach the entire afternoon; you don’t know if you tied this correctly or if your hair is braided right, and you can’t ask any of your nearby neighbours for fear of discovery that your plans are different than theirs tonight. Mother would know exactly what to do and what to say to make you feel at ease. But want you want most is for her to see you all grown up like this. Finally able to properly wear the outfit you coveted for so long, and hold your head high in it too. You think she’d be proud.

They couldn’t be a bunch of young guys fucking around in the streets forever. Yoongi had always known somewhere in the back of his mind that the makeshift family they built together would change when they started real ones. He saw it coming.

But something about it makes him feel empty, anyway.

Something about it makes him think of you.

Ana, serious question here but: How is it that you made my heart stop with only one word? Are you a fairy? Or some sort of angel? I think you might be just because of how magical you are, and how you’re able to make me just...feel things whenever you’re around or when I see you post something.

First, and I’m taking a detour and coming off a bit stronger than I usually do with these (probably because I’m a good halfway through my wine right now and my cheeks are feeling flushed but…) this: 

“Blowing up my pager is obnoxious,” he hisses.  “Page and wait.  That’s the least you can do.”....You Mother Fuc-

Honestly, that entire convo with douchebag, dumbass, Dr. Lee made me want to reach through my screen and shake him until he starts to drool. Does he not have any decency??? At all??? I honestly hope that Yoongi comes in during one of this blowups and does more than pick his pockets thats for sure because he needs to be knocked down several peggs if you ask me. 

Whew, okay, now that that’s done, not @ how the mc went sleuthing and found baseball players instead of his name. That honestly made me laugh and I love that as the chapters unfold, you get to see more and more of this mysterious Yoongi piece by piece. I also really enjoyed the beginning when you touched on his earlier days when he practiced piano. It was very soft and I just kept on hearing First Love play over and over again in my mind, so thank you Ana for this heartfelt tidbit. 

Everything that you do amazes me. Truly. I look up to you so much Ana, so anything that you put out is surely going to be kept in my heart and mind forever (I hope that doesn’t add any pressure toward you or anything). Anyways, thank you for this. I’m sending you my heart over and over and over again.💕

P.S. - Also, is this this Yoongi that you imagined at the end??? 

Because if so, you have unlocked another monster ma’am. Okay. Now I’m done. Sending you my love forever and ever, Ana.

Chapter 01 | 02

********************

Bak Seolhee was one of those holy roller types.

She wore clunky black shoes and church lady tights that always looked like they were this close to cutting off her circulation.  Her glasses sat right at the tip of her nose, forever in danger of slipping right off her pinched face.

She wasn’t a pleasant woman.

But every week she made the trek – compelled by the love of Jesus – to teach piano at the Shing Ma Boys Home.  And every week, like clockwork, the boys scattered like marbles the moment she arrived.

But not Yoongi.

Keep reading

Though he is careful not to touch you directly, he gently strokes the beads to turn that warmth of his inward to the softness of your inner wrist. Closer than he’s ever been. 

I feel like the cogs are beginning to turn with this chapter. Slowly, but definitely surely. This chapter is a bit darker than the rest, especially when you see the famine and potentials war steadily increasing. Not to mention the ending with Yoongi’s father that will definitely stir things up both inside and outside of the kingdom. 

(On a brighter note, it was a cute moment to see the main character still wearing the bracelet she got from Yoongi during Chuseok)

Thank you so so so so sooo very much Rain for this. I’m giving you all of my love until the world ends, but even after that I’ll most defintely be doing it😘💕💕💕

I [there’s a splotch of ink here, as if there was an attempt to blot out a character] miss seeing you. 

😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭

The way I’m curled over right now??!!? It’s amazing how bad this letter got to me. Namjoon is literally the sweetest and cutest person, and I love how we get to see more and more of him and his story as this series progresses. Like...this letter?!?!? Rain...RAIN. Oh my god. 

I cannot reveal much about his current status, though please know that is more out of precaution’s sake rather than a lack of trust in you. It could never be the latter. 

I had to pull away from my phone after that because OH. MY. GOD! The way this letter to Chun-ja was so formal and polite, but just so heartwrenching. And the way Namjoon addresses her son Han-jae and gave him treats. And-And the way that he signed off and asked to go on a tea date with her?!?! I’m clapping for him and hoping that he scores that date. I know I would say yes

Also side note here, but congratulations for the main character being promoted!! For me, it’s bittersweet because that was her mom’s position and I know how much she loves her and wants to do her best because that was her mother’s position, but it was just a really nice touch and I’m just so proud of her. 

Thank you Rain for this!! I’m giving your cheeks a cyber squish and giving you all of the love in all of the universes combined. Mwah😘! I’ll be back super soon!!!💕💕💕

You hold him. You hold him until the tremors beneath your palms melt into tired breaths, the reluctant rise and fall of one who does not wish to leave this warmth just yet.

Wow….wow.

This one hurt. Alot more than what I thought actually. And I think it hurts a bit more because I read back and realized that the queen passed almost and a half later. I do have to say that I’m a bit curious to see and unpack more of the reasons why Yoongi has this bitterness toward his father and the fact that he thinks that he’s only here for one purpose. It’s an interesting dynamic to see, especially because I don’t think I’ve seen this Yoongi hold these strong feelings toward anyone before. But, I would also like to add that maybe what other people have said are true in this case: you can only be mad at someone if you love them. Maybe Yoongi does love him in a way, but maybe not. Hm….

Thank you my loveliest Rain. I’m always infatuated with you and your beautiful mind. You’re so special to me and I honestly can’t wait to read more of this series. ILY!!!! Sending you lots and lots of love💕

“He died.”

[Did you really think that the Kharli loving Rain fest was over?]

He doesn’t know how long he has been standing here, only that the ministers are undoubtedly staring at him, waiting for his next command. It’s a feeling he still has yet to fully get accustomed to, but he must learn to take it. 

He must.

Coming back after reading the last part and thinking about the relationship between Yoongi and the main character, it’s amazing how loyal he has become toward her. And how through everything, his eyes are still searching for hers during his ascension to the throne for comfort and almost...a bit for reassurance? Like knowing that she’s there and watching him will make him feel like carrying on his duties now as King will be worth something more than just a title or a way to prove himself to be better than his father. Oooh and this:

The traditional chants ring out across the courtyard, carrying far with the whirling wind and all these emotions are stuck in his tight throat as he watches them bow before him again and again and he wishes he could have had more time but there has never been room for regret in this court and so he decides, tells himself, reminds himself, to have none.

He is king.

This part was just so powerful. It’s so booming and demanding to be heard because above all else, Yoongi knows that he must do what is right for the people of his kingdom and do it with confidence. But it all felt like everything came to a deafening cease at the very end. When his confidence begins to shake and the first of his looming duties awaits him. It's tragic really, and I’m not sure if I should be saying that now because I know that we have a LONG way to go, but...it’s just amazing how much you were able to pack in such a short form. You completely amaze me day after day Rain and I am completely and utterly thankful for you, friend. ILY SOOO MUCH!! I’m giving you my heart and soul. Thank you for making my night/morning 😅😘💕💕💕💕

You hate the twisting in your stomach when you realize for the first time that she is beautiful, and then you can’t seem to stop.

Oh god that hurt. It felt like a knife was slowly twisting in my gut and by the end, someone (you) just came and flicked it for pure mockery and satisfaction. The final nail on the coffin. (I’m totally kidding….maybe). 

Rain! Can we slow down on the angst just a tad. Like I knew, I KNEW that this was coming, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt. And I know for sure that you’re laughing at me and the rest of us who are curled up in a ball trying to figure out when this angst train will stop, but like….why? Out of pure desperation, I also went back to previous chapters in the 1867/1868 timeline to refresh my memory and see if things got better then, but all there was was just angst. Do you know how much my heart is hurting right now, Rain?😩

Castle ladies and eunuchs alike bow to her as she is helped out of her opulent gama by the servants that carried her all the way here. You hate the twisting in your stomach when you realize for the first time that she is beautiful, and then you can’t seem to stop.

Old habits die hard.

Hi Ana,

This, like all of your other works, was nothing but stunning. I feel like you write with a certain purpose. Your writing is concise, words made to hit at a specific moment in time and no a moment too soon or too late. Every scene is written so thoroughly and vividly, it feels as if for a second, I’m not aware of the things in my bedroom, but rather the world you built in its entirety as it lays behind my eyelids. 

The part at the beginning about religion and God was very well done. There’s something about that section where it feels as if there's some type of darkness in the light, and I don’t think that it’s coming from Yoongi. As a matter of fact, I think that he was one of the purest souls in the chapel. He’s so self-aware of not only himself but the people involved in his life, and I think that is a component of purity. I’m still trying to understand what all of this means to create something cohesive, but that’s the feeling and thoughts that I gathered while reading that part. 

Another part that I really enjoyed reading was the first meet up with Yoongi and the main character. It felt...raw. Intense, but also calm? It was a conversation in the waiting, but the way you built up to this moment throughout the chapters was so astonishing and fluid. The small hints of their personalities woven in, from this by the main character:

“Look, Doc,“ he starts, sighing deeply. “What I do -- it’s not that simple to explain.”

“Turns out, I’m very smart,” you fire back. “Try me.”

To something so deep and thought-proking by Yoongi:

He turns back to face the full heat of your frustration head-on. “Do you think good people sometimes make decisions they’re not proud of?”

It was just a moment that I felt so comfortable reading, even though there was this fog of tension lingering in the background. Also, I enjoyed reading that how, through all of this, you could still feel, still know with absolute positivity that Yoongi cares for her. Know that the intense “weightless feeling” in his stomach was something more than that. And all of those emotions were emphasized and heighed up to the moment where he was urging, yearning for her to just stay and listen: 

“Doc, just — just wait a minute.” The words come out in a rush, clumsy off Yoongi’s thick tongue. “Please. Just give me one more minute.”

I could feel my breath catch here. The desperation, the landing of each of every word, and its impact were written so well and so beautifully. And it felt as if you were in the moment there too, listening to him say:

“Say something, Doc,” he murmurs. “Anything. Tell me I’m right. Tell me to fuck off. Just tell me what you’re thinking.”

It’s just...I really loved that scene a lot. 

Oh, and oh my goodness, the coffee shop scene. The feeling that I got when you mentioned how Yoongi dropped what he was doing to go visit her with no hesitation made my heart melt and cheeks warm. That scene was so raw, so intimate. And the kiss that followed after made me gasp a little. It was something that felt perfect for them and I wouldn’t be able to imagine it any other way. Though my heart did crack just a tad when she said that she was scared to like him.

The cliffhanger at the end??!?! I always knew that there was something fishy going on with Mr. Lee. I didn’t know what, but I always knew that something wasn’t right when he kept going off to these strange places. There are so many theories in my mind now, and I can’t wait to finally know who Mr. Lee is (if that even is his real name. He could be part of the underground stuff for all we know). I’m also wondering what the one thing Yoongi truly possesses is, as you said. 

Thank you so much Ana for this story. I actually decided to read this today because of everything that's going on within the U.S. and I just needed a moment where I didn’t have to worry or think about anything else, so thank you for providing me this comfort. It means more to me than the words that I could ever hope to express. I'm forever grateful for you, Ana. I hope that you’ve been well. I’m sending you my heart.💕

Chapter 01 | 02 | 03

***********************

Sunday morning – come hell or high water – Yoongi’s butt had to be parked in a pew.  

Church was absolutely non-negotiable for the boys of Shing Ma.

Yoongi would tug at the collars of his ill-fitting hand-me-down shirts and sit through hours of preaching in his too-tight shoes.  He would stare up at the carved wooden figure of Jesus mounted just behind the altar and Jesus would stare right back.

I see what you’ve been up to, Min Yoongi, his face seemed to say. You’re not fooling me.

Jesus always won the staring contest.

So Yoongi would spend his entire week fucking around in the streets of Daegu – skipping class and sneaking cigarettes – but on Sunday, he’d have to sweat through a sermon, trying his hardest to avoid the knowing eyes of the Lord.

It's incredible to be a reader and see how all of the gaps between chapters are being filled. Even more so when you realize how much you gave during previous chapters to sate us, but left enough to keep us hanging until now. Add that to the fact that you plan on this series being 40+ parts, and you have a mind-blown Kharli (but you always tend to do that to me anyway😉). 

The amount of thought and detail that you put into this series, as well as your own love and devotion, keep me coming back for more and more. Every word makes me yearn for the next one. Every sentence keeps me on the edge of my seat, cradling my phone tightly within my grasp until the very end when you leave me with the thought of "I wonder what's going to happen next? Where will Rain continue from? Does she know that she completely and utterly stuns me each and every time she writes or whenever she just simply talks to me?" It astonishes me each and every time, and you and your works have a special place within my heart. 

Thank you Rain for all of your fascinating stories and just for being you in general. Thank you for all of the characters you created and for continuing to lead us on this fascinating journey.  I hope that you've been well and that school isn't stressing you out too much. I'm sending you my heart along with virtual hugs and smooches😘💕💕💕

With her hands planted firmly on her stout hips, Jin-young-nim stands before you with a look of slight exasperation stretched across her features. Her mouth is moving, but you can’t exactly hear what she’s saying. All sound seems to have faded out, replaced with a heady buzzing that some part of you recognizes as shock as it infiltrates your mind, leaving your own mouth agape. You can do little more than blink and remember to breathe for several long moments until the silver chopsticks you were holding clatter to the table, finally pulling you from the daze.

He has, thankfully, spared you of such truths, like he continues to spare you of any details about his life. Theoretically, that makes it easier to not get so attached. Theoretically.

Ooooooh….Rain….

This is like, the first chapter where my feelings are completely mixed. I’m happy that now we’ve caught up to the occurrences of the first few parts, but going back to look at what word he said made my teeth clench. But then, Yoongi said that she’s the only one he’s been with, which is nice, but I know, I KNOW that in some way, shape or form that this is going to backfire in some way. So now, I’m sitting here, head in hand, because I just don’t know. I feel like each part is like a game of Russian Roulette, and you don’t know what’s going to happen until you find yourself first, going back to see where it fits along with the other parts, then reading the warnings, before proceding with caution and finishing it with either a smile of happiness or one that’s to help block out the pain. (Can’t you see how hard I’m trying to protect my heart?)

Thank you Rain for this. Seriously. Each and every story, not only this one but all of them, make me so happy, and I just adore you so much. I’m sending you lots of love.💕

“Do you think good people do bad things sometimes?”

Hi Ana,

It’s been a while since I’ve written typed to you like this, but I’m glad that I’m able  to do so right now. I’ve missed you even though I see and interact with you all the time on Twitter.

This chapter was dark. I mean, it’s not like any of the previous chapters or even this entire series was anything but, but this chapter really made me take my glasses off and just take everything that was happening without any barriers or anything else to soften the blow. 

We finally get to see what Lee has been up to all along, and I can’t believe that his addiction was right under my nose. All the signs were there like you said, but having the words written in ink really changed everything. It's amazing how one moment can change how you see the world. Like Seokjin said, why do moments of happiness usher in intense fear? It’s a disturbing balance, so where the mc has Yoongi, Lee and everything else that heightens his corruptness is lingering right beside her. Though, the most sinister moment for me, a moment where I could feel my blood run a bit colder, was this part:

Sweat beads at your temples.  Lee turns his head to stare you down, even as he continues to push saline, even as the patient continues to sputter.  There is a hard glint in his eyes that tells you everything you need to know.

He knows.

The pacing and everything that led up to those words were so excellently and meticulously implemented, and the way my mind felt and the way my heart seemed to beat a little bit faster in my chest was like nothing before. It was startling and deafening, and this right here is the perfect epitome of suspense. It’s also the reason why this is one of my favorite parts.

Through this though, I love how Yoongi was there to make the tone a bit lighter, make it a bit more easy to breathe not only for me, but for the main character. I think it was last chapter when I questioned what Yoongis prize was, and before I had an inkling that it was her but now, I’m not sure. If she's his prized possession then the metal is his remedy. If the metal is his prized possession, then she is his home. Someone that grounds him and someone that makes him want to fight for more. Live for more. I also can’t get over the fact of how sweet Yoongi is in this. When he said, “-- It’s not a bad time,” Yoongi interrupts quickly.  “Not for you, anyway.”, I was like, well, I guess it’s my time for my ring finger to be occupied lol. 

But seriously, I love him. The way he protects her and cherishes her is nothing that I could begin to adequate explain with the way my brain is working right now, but he’s one of my favorite, if not my favorite characterizations ever (but I’m also lowkey making side glances to Jungkook...cocky bastard. Hot though. He could pound me if he wants too-

Anyways, I’m really glad with the way this chapter turned out. I’m glad that they were able to kiss again. But most of all, I’m glad that I was able to come back to you and read this amazing story. I can’t wait to read more. As always, and until the end of forever, I’m sending you my love💕

P.S.- Also, I forgot to mention this, but this is one of my favorite lines: “Grow up in chaos and you will end up craving order.” I don’t know, but in a way, this reminds me of me. I’d made me think. Also, the montage with the sins and the pacing of that to the climax of this chapter was absolutely phenomenal. You continuously remind me why reading is my home away from home. Thank you Ana. Truly.

**********************

Ko insists on making tea. 

You don’t have the heart to remind her that you don’t drink tea.  You suppose she takes comfort in the ritual, in pretending for a few minutes that you’re a normal guest in her home under totally normal circumstances.

But if the action serves to soothe her nerves, it only makes yours more frayed. 

You sit on the stiff couch in the living room for what feels like an eternity, looking out over her pictures and keepsakes.  Your eyes lock on a framed photograph of Ko and her husband, young and tanned and smiling, holding matching tropical drinks against an equally tropical backdrop.

A much happier time.

Ko’s husband – her partner in all things – has been dead for more than a year now.  And as you sit in this room filled with their shared memories, your heart breaks at the thought of your friend hiding out in here, alone.

Afraid.

Isn’t it stupid, that some excessive part of you wants him to openly refute your lies even as you tell them? To undress your mind as hungrily he does your body until you have no choice but to be bared and free, released from the burden of your own thoughts?

To be honest, I’m not really sure how to start of with this. Partially because I’m in the middle of studying for finals, but mainly because this chapter took my breath away. Introduction scenes are a gateway to the remainder of the story, so you could only imagine how I felt watching the scene at the town unfold. To put it simply, I was sad. The main characters feelings of inadequacy and selfishness were understandable, but I wish that she wasn’t so hard on herself. I hope that later on, she gets a chance of helping the mother and her baby, or if not, then have the chance to do something great for others outside the realm she resides in. She has such a beautiful heart and soul, and I just don’t want her to feel down about herself.

Reading how the following events unfolded made my heart simultaneously stop and beat faster than ever. Yoongi put himself in a place of submission for her, stepping down from his place of usual control and instead wanting to pleasure her. Fully and wholly. It was intense coming to this section of the story, but it was all so beautiful and loving (It was a bit funny on my end though reading this and having my best friend swearing in the background at his studies/professor. it’s finals weeks so yeah…)

The last few paragraphs after Yoongi comforts her and creates a place for her to cry were so beautiful. The way you write is so eloquent and purposeful and filled with raw and intense emotion. It’s poetry unearthed, and I’d love to continue reading your work for as long as possible. 

Thank you so much Rain for making my day better. This was a fantastic read and I can’t wait to see what else is in store for them. Thank you!! I’m sending you all of my love.💕

[Me loving Ash for the 16739301564725th time🥰❤️]

Honestly, coming back from reading ITDON to this was one of the biggest whiplashes for two reasons: 1. I had forgotten just how dark the Fractured world was, and 2. This just means that you are so damn good at writing multiple styles it’s breathtaking.

Seeing the beginning contents of chapter 2 from Yoongi’s eyes was so nice, even if the tone was on the darker end. You get to know more about where his heart lies and how he views the main character as not only a friend but someone who he cherishes in his own way. It’s a beautifully tragic moment, but you captured the emotions so well. My heart aches for the main character. For all of the characters actually in this story, but right now I just want to give her a hug. I mean, when you, “I’ll get better at blocking it out,” everything just felt so cold and dark and dull and deafening that my head started to hurt a little. I was overwhelmed with how you led up to that moment, but in the best way of course. 

I can’t wait to see how the next chapter unravels. I remember you saying that there’s a party happening, and that’s going to be so exciting and fun to read (hopefully if no one gets hurt lol). But still, either way, I know I’m going to enjoy it. Thank you so much for this treasure, Ash! I’m sending you lots and lots and lots and LOTS of love.💕

Summary: You’d always known something was strange and different about your “family,” but it wasn’t as though your environment encouraged curiosity from you. You thought you wanted to know all the answers, but nobody ever told you that the more you learned the more pieces of yourself you would leave behind.

A/N: Sorry for the long wait on the next part of this series, life has been super super hectic! I debated whether I wanted to post part 4 before or after this bonus chapter, but for the sake of characterization and the fact that I know some of you guys are interested, I decided to do this first. But don’t worry – part 4 will be coming soon regardless!

Chronologically, this chapter takes place from Yoongi’s perspective in Chapter 2. 

Let me know if you’d like to be tagged!

–

He didn’t even plan to go to the gym. But for some reason, the loudest room somehow had the worst soundproofing in the entire house.

He had only gone outside for a quick breather before heading up to rest, but muffled grunts reached his ears before he made it anywhere near the stairs.

There was no question who they belonged to, and his body turned back toward the gym door before he’d even consciously decided to take a look. Not that there was ever any chance that he would leave you there alone.

He was sure you would hate that he felt the need to check on you, but he couldn’t help it. You had a habit of going too hard too fast and suffering for it later. He told himself that it was investigating for everyone’s best interest – that you had a mission at dawn, and you needed to be fully intact and rested. Not because his heart lurched at the notion of you suffering in there alone, pushing your body past its limit with that empty, lost look in your eyes.

Sneaking in without catching your attention was easy. He doubted that slipping in through the door and silently closing it behind him was even necessary. Not with the way you were going at that punching bag, your forehead glistening with sweat. He couldn’t fully see your expression from his angle, but with the way your jaw was clenched, face screwed up almost to hold back tears, he doubted you were fully present.

It wasn’t his first time finding you like this. Sometimes you’d run laps. Sometimes you’d do so many push-ups his body hurt just looking at you. Sometimes he’d even find you shooting target after target in the shooting range one building over.

But more than anything, you boxed.

You’d told him once that the repetitive sound of glove on punching bag lulled you into the best trance.

With the way your words hit him in the gut that day, perhaps he would have been better off not asking.
