[A Big YAY! For Grammy Award-nominated BTS Now, Hi Shanna! How Are You? I Hope That Youre Swell]

[A big YAY! for Grammy award-nominated BTS🥳🥰 Now, Hi Shanna! How are you? I hope that you’re swell]

Before I start off with anything else, I would first like to say...I KNEW IT HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Big Brain Energy!!!! My last brain cell was there for me because GOD would it have been embarrassing for me if someone else came to pick her up.

All jokes aside, I'm actually really glad though that Jimin was there for her. Not because we're beginning to see this slow-burn start to burn (even though it is one of the highlights), but you get to see them as people, not dance students who are competing to be the best in their class. I mean, the last time we've seen them to the closest to this level of normalcy was in the first part during sign-ups (and we all know how that went). But, there was just a comfort in knowing that you have these two people who are slowly progressing along in their newly established friendship. They can laugh together. They can share their worries and problems with each other. And most of all, they feel comfortable with each other now, and I think that's really beautiful and I love how you mapped this out Shanna. I also really enjoyed the piece you put in about how the main character used to watch Jimin during competitions. It was nice and it made my heart swell even further because Jimin did the same to her, and I just really love the connection and the whole sense of admiration that they share with one another. You come to find that they are actually more similar than you might have thought initially, and I’m enjoying watching how their relationship is blooming.

I’m also glad that she and Finn were able to reconcile, but it just didn’t feel...I don’t know, whole? Like yeah, they are slowly but surely working together to resolve any patches in their relationship, and maybe this is part of what it means to be in a relationship (I wouldn’t know though, I’ve been single for 20 years😅), or maybe I’m just being biased, but that conversation still had a lingering emptiness, and I’m not sure if it will be resolved. Especially now since we see that might have a small crush on Jimin flourishing, which was really entertaining to read.

Like always, thank you so much Shanna for your works. They never fail to make my day brighter and I’m giving you my most sincere gratitude for just being an amazing person in general. I hope that you’ve been well. Sending you all of my love.💕

Word Count: 6,829

Summary: You and Park Jimin have been rivals for as long as you’ve known one another; ever since he tripped you in the front row of your first dance convention. When you graduate from high school and enter Russet Ballet Academy, you tell yourself you’re leaving all past quarrels behind. The main problem with this though, is that your past seems determined not to leave you alone.

Worse still, the obstacles you face while out in the real world might prove more challenging than anything your enemy has to offer.

[Not @ me having a dream about reading this chapter before I actually did lmaooo!]

Honestly, you would not believe the chokehold this week has held on me. Like...SHIT! Can a bitch breathe?!?!

Sorry. I’m usually more composed and eloquent whenever I do this, but...damn! You know? 

Anyways…

Hi Shanna. Honestly, there are no words that I could express right now having read this because I feel like everyone else has said the things that I would like to say (yeah, I kinda spoiled myself a little before reading this chapter), but wow. The way this story is continuing to unfold, and so cinematically too, is just leaving me speechless. 

Starting off, I love the small nod to Namjoon during the coffee shop scene. It was light. Witty. A bit strained though and that's why I couldn’t help but wonder if the main character and Finn are actually going to break the glass ceiling back into normality. They’re trying, but it only seems to be scratching at the surface, and there’s only so much that you can do before your arms get tired and you eventually just give up. It’s sad now that I’m actually putting words to this, but I’m very glad that you’re bringing out these emotions in me. 

I also really enjoyed Jungkook’s appearance in this and noticing how Jimin was more tense than usual. To be honest, I laughed when you panned over to stiff Jimin when he was packing up from class. Sabrina though was someone that stood out to me the most during this chapter. It was interesting seeing her in this new light. From seeing her so sure and confident in herself, someone who is so firm and sturdy and poised, to seeing her with cracks in her persona. Seeing her look more “human” and softening around the edges. It made me sit up a little and pay attention to her more because this was so different than how we usually see her, so I’m looking forward to her arc, if she does have one, later. 

When it came to the party, it was a moment that I knew would ruin me (it was also at this scene where I realized that Noelle Monique from Kim Possible. If that's true then Sabrina is totally Bonnie). Anyways, Jimin and Hoseoks Halloween costume?!?!?!? Shanna!! And when Jimin said, "Things happen for reason, right?" OOP- (I’m sorry, my brain kinda gave up on me here and I was in a continuous mindset of what the actual fuc- 

So the party, part two!! My last brain cell came back here, so I was able to think a lot about what you wrote here. One thing that really came about was just the irony that even though she and Finn are close, they couldn't be further apart. It’s saddening. It's like watching an accident about to happen so you kinda just have to brace yourself until the impact and just pray that the aftermath isn’t terribly disastrous. I also was reflecting a lot on the parallels between what happened with her and Finn at the club versus her and Jimin: she didn’t dance with Finn, but she did with Jimin. Alcohol got spilled on her and she was upset, alcohol got spilled on someone else and she laughed. But in both instances, Jimin was there for her in the end. Except for, you know, after THAT. And finally, FINALLY, Sabrina got the talk that she needed to knock her down a peg. Though I'm curious to see what's going on on her side of things and see if she’ll take the main character’s comments and actually take them to heart. No matter how many times I say that I feel a bit aversive to Sabrina, there is still a part of me that feels for her. There’s so much potential underneath...and… and maybe a part of me wants to give her a hug. I don’t know though. She’d probably kick me in the gut while she does a grand plie or something with a smile on her face. Still love her though!

Also, I love Noelle. So, so much. When she got the call from the mc, she didn’t ask any questions and dropped everything was there for her right then and there. And the rest of the ending reminded me of a TikTok where a girl said to let your friends be the standard for your relationships and that was so crystal clear right then and there. 

I don’t know how things will pan out from here, to be honest, I kept trying to come up with theories but now I’m just here for this very enjoyable and emotional ride. Thank you so much Shanna for this. I’ll always be cheering you on. Sending you lots and lots and lots and lots of love!😘💕

“Jimin.”

“I’m here. I have you,” he whispered. 

Whew, okay so now that I’ve had some time to step away and recollect my thoughts (because quite honestly, I was a mess the last time), I’m back. Honestly, this part was so touching and I enjoyed the fact that now we get to see some of the characters in a different light. One part that immediately grabbed my attention was the scene where Jimin and Namjoon were reconciling. It was wholesome and thoughtful, and you see that these two characters, even though different, are able to work well together. I think it’s like a push-pull relationship, but one that’s needed nonetheless because you know that as powerhouses, their endgoal is to protect and serve to the best of their abilities. I also really liked what Jimin said here because of that:

“I spared your life because it was well worth sparing. You have always led your clan with honor and dignity. You don’t strike me as someone who enjoys killing, yet you were willing to do so for the good of our people. Such a man is a far better example alive than he is dead.”

I also enjoyed seeing the Luna coming to terms with her feelings, albeit slowly. But you know without a doubt that she cares about Jimin in the ways that he does to her. It was quite entertaining to see her become this overprotective entity (but tbh, I would do the same if I was in her position), as well as see Namjoon FINALLY caving into his own feelings.

All in all, I'm really happy about this part. I'm happy that Jimin and the Luna can be together and that Namjoon found peace in his defeat. More so, I'm glad that Jimin and Namjoon are working alongside each other. It was an unforeseen fate, but one that I'm happy about. Now I'm curious to see why Yoonji is upset about Tae being the head of the Kim clan and what that means for them. 

Anywho, thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU Vi! You are such a wonderful and beautiful and talented human-being and just MWAH! I’m sending you all the smooches and love in the world! I can’t wait to see what happens in the next part. 💕💕💕

Author’s Note: Life has been really hard. I won’t beat around the bush. It was hard to do anything… but your kind words and support really kept me going. Truly you guys straight up manifested this chapter with your incredible support. As always, my angels @ppersonna​ @xjoonchildx​ @untaemedqueen​ and @underthejoon​ were the best betas and the best friends anyone could ask for. My thanks to ALL of you for helping me bring this story to life!

“Alpha.” 

Namjoon’s voice echoed through the clearing with profound resonance. 

There would be no more fighting. 

There would be no more doubt.

It was a complete surrender, the kind only a true Alpha could compel. 

A frantic whimper suddenly split the air, drawing every eye to you-

 But you saw only him. 

“Untie me,” you pleaded, struggling impatiently against the restraints. 

One of the elders moved to release you, but before she could, Jin produced a knife and cut you free with the kind of terrifying precision expected of a man who was every bit as deadly as he was beautiful. 

Then you were running - and this time, no one could stop you. 

Your body crashed into his and fiery joy shot through you as he pulled you into his arms. 

His scent wrapped around your senses like a warm blanket, covering the fear and pain of the past days in unimaginable relief. 

 “Jimin.”

“I’m here. I have you,” he whispered. 

Your entire frame seemed to shake as you sobbed against his chest. It was as if you could not draw close enough - could not hold tight enough - to be satisfied. Part of you was still terrified that you would wake up and discover that all of this had been a dream…

Then you heard it.

Another set of knees hitting the ground. 

“Alpha.”

Then another-

“Alpha.“

And another 

“Alpha.”

Till the air was filled with hundreds of voices, all speaking the same word.

“Alpha.”

Namjoon remembered very little of what happened after his surrender…

Just pain. 

His limbs seemed oddly disconnected from the rest of his body. There was blood everywhere (and he was reasonably sure it was his). 

He knew he should feel defeated, broken - ashamed even.

Instead he felt strangely…

Light. 

As if a great weight had lifted from his shoulders. 

The last thing he saw before losing consciousness entirely was Yunli’s tear-stained gaze - still fixed on him - even as the others turned to face their new Alpha. 

He breathed out her name in a quiet, desperate plea as the darkness overtook him.

She tells you that the moment people are born, they are instantly bound with another, tied together by some predetermined string, gifting you with someone you are meant to spend the rest of your life with. Someone who fit against every curve, someone who loved you in every aspect no matter what. Someone who would look at you, and you could just feel the weight of their stares like none other—set all your nerves on fire with just a single touch, leave you knowing without a doubt that that person was the one you were meant to spend your life with. 

Your soulmate. Your other half.

I wanted to write to you earlier Traci, but because it’s a holiday where I live, my words had to be put on hold for a little while. Nonetheless, I wanted to tell you that you had me with tears in my eyes waiting to fall at ten in the morning. This story was so beautiful, so soul-shattering, but yet, I felt so full at the end. 

Storytelling is your forte, and I feel as if with each and every piece of work that you produce, I continue being enchanted by each and everyone of them. I loved the progression of this work. I loved the fact that you were able to see two people whose fates were intertwined, but yet, left with the scenario of not being together until some time later. Seeing how the main character first felt at peace and enthralled at knowing that she had a soulmate at the other end of her palm, but then watching how the feelings shifted to dwindle it down because she wanted to control her own fate for once was such an exciting moment to watch. For a moment, I was actually cheering for Jungkook a little bit even though I knew that he wasn’t her soulmate, but that was until those beautiful poems appeared. Each and every one left me breathless and with my heart expanding in my chest, and I was jealous of her for the remainder of the story. If someone were saying those words to me, I would most definitely fall in love right then and there. But, when it came to the scene where she and Jungkook had to be faced with their ultimate ending, it hurt. It hurt because I knew how much she loved Jungkook and wanted to be with him, but that’s not what fate had planned for them. Fate had better, so it feels weird to say that that moment of angst hurt so good, but it did.

Fate can be unpredictable, but I'm glad that her and Yoongi found each other in the end. I was actually chuckling but also tearing up when he wrote on his skin, “I told you I'd see you soon” because it was such a beautiful moment and one where can feel an immense surge of joy in the fact that they found and have each other now. I hope that they're doing well. 

I also saw that you were writing a Christmas story this year. I’m wishing you the best of luck during your writing process and I can’t wait to read it! Thank you so much Traci for this. I’m giving you a million and one thank yous right now. I’m sending you all of my love.💕💕

see you soon

SUMMARY: In which you live in a world where one stroke of a pen against your skin is a signage of forever, and Min Yoongi just has really good timing 

PAIRING: yoongi/reader

GENRE: soulmate au (the one where when you write something on your skin with pen/marker, it will show up on your soulmate’s skin as well) • fluff/angst 

WORD COUNT: 7k

WARNINGS: a side jungkook/reader relationship 

.

The first time images appear on your skin, you are 12 and have absolutely no idea why. Questions spring up in your mind like wildfire—alarming and so completely out of your control that you perform what could only be politely labeled as a scream before you dash to the bathroom, rubbing roughly at the skin of your arm until the flesh turns bright red. The marks, however, do not fade away.

Taking in a few sharp inhales, you collect your thoughts long enough to carefully study the marks that have been embedded into your skin—ink underneath the flesh that you carefully run your finger across. The end product looks to be a night sky along your forearm. There is a half-crescent moon and lazy stars dancing across the way; twinkling lines and hazy shapes and thick lines like they had been drawn with a sharpie.

For some odd reason, the longer you stare at the drawing, you don’t feel the panic settling back into your nerves. Rather, you feel more calm, peaceful, as if staring at the face of familiarity, like these drawings of half-crescent moons and 6 pointed stars genuinely mean something to you. Or at least, they hold enough significance that you don’t scream or continue trying to rub away the spots.

Your mother comes bounding into the room shortly after, startled by your scream until she sees the source of your apprehension and her lips curl up into a soft and understanding smile. It is right then and there, when she takes your arm, soothingly running her thumb up and down the expanse of the night sky that she spins the narrative of fate, destiny, and the universe.

She tells you that the moment people are born, they are instantly bound with another, tied together by some predetermined string, gifting you with someone you are meant to spend the rest of your life with. Someone who fit against every curve, someone who loved you in every aspect no matter what. Someone who would look at you, and you could just feel the weight of their stares like none other—set all your nerves on fire with just a single touch, leave you knowing without a doubt that that person was the one you were meant to spend your life with.

Your soulmate. Your other half.

[Guess whos back? Back again??? But, you probably already know so…]

Okay so first of all, I just had to let you know that I straight-up laughed when Taehyung’s only reason for following the others into the council chamber was because he was being nosy. It was a nice break in the tense air, and I feel like I’m going to love his character a lot later. And Yoongi’s too. I can’t wait to learn more about Yoonji, Seokjin, and see what happens next with the challenge and the whole compelling situation (And does the Luna possibly have a crush on Jimin?????)

Thank you so much Vi for this chapter. Sorry that this is so short, but onto the next one! I’m giving you my heart💕

You fell to your knees, uttering the one word that would complete the ritual and seal both your fates.

“Alpha.”

Then all hell broke loose. Noise and movement erupted on every side.

“Oh my goddess, Yoonji is gonna be so pissed she missed this!” Min Yoongi whooped loudly from across the circle.

Your forehead furrowed in confusion as chaos escalated around you. The blindfold was still in place as you were technically not permitted to remove it till the ceremony was officially dismissed.

What is happening? What’s wrong?

Suddenly the chief elder charged into the fray, waving his hands wildly like a spastic pixie.

“My brothers and sisters we must - er - strive to consider this unexpected turn of events as-“

“What have you done?!”

You recognized that voice - your mother - hissing frantically in your ear. She must have breached the circle to get to you.

A hand (probably your mother again) wrapped around your elbow, yanking you roughly to your feet and you yelped in pain-

“STOP!”

The person manhandling you froze immediately. Silence crashed down like a hammer.

“…Take your hands off my mate.”

The words were spoken softly this time, but there was no mistaking the weight of an alpha command. The grip on your arm fell away without hesitation.

Unease began to churn heavily in the pit of your stomach.

You didn’t recognize his voice.

You had no idea who your mate was.

“Never,” Namjoon whispers. A confession, each word a benediction. “Never, my lady.”

The sound of your laughter, smooth and light. You tilt your head, bare the unspoiled column of your neck, shimmering, glimmering, glittering. Your skin shines with the finest fragrant oils, dusted with ground gold leaf, iridescent. Your body gilded and girded, as always, in the finest cloth and metal and jewels, reclining, utterly at ease. Glowing with your divine power; divine grace.

Divine beauty.

Divine.

Namjoon is blessed, to have you as his Patron.
