Kth:angst - Tumblr Posts
Oooh Rach
This one hurt. And it hurt alotš. It's been a while since I've read a hanahaki story. Mainly because these are the ones that usually have me staying up later than usual at night, contemplating everything and letting the hurt and angst sink in over and over.
Wow...I might need a second after this one. It's short, but it packs a punch and I hate that I love this so much, no matter the ache in my heart. Sending you lots and lots of lovešššš
so I totally want to read something based on āIām finding it more and more difficult to not blurt out my feelings.ā but Iām torn between taehyung and vernon for some reason š
{prompt game - āiām finding it more and more difficult not to blurt out my feelings.ā}

āYou know, Iām finding it more and more difficult to not blurt out my feelings.ā A dark chuckle escapes from his lips. "Well, more like difficult to not blurt out flowers."
Another round of painful laughter erupts from Taehyung only to be interrupted by the bloodstained rose petals exiting his mouth.
Yoongi's grimace gives Taehyung a good idea of how he might look right now. A tear-stained face and bloodstained hands with crumpled rose petals. Taehyung can't do anything but scoff at the irony of the red petals in his hand.
Love. Roses mean love.
Taehyung loves you, but you love Jimin. You're with Jimin. His best friend.
Despite the fact that he's secretly been developing feelings for you for years (he's just been better at convincing himself he wasn't before) he knew that he couldn't have you.
Especially given the recent announcement.
"We're getting married!" You and Jimin had announced excitedly to your group of friends earlier today.
Taehyung had felt himself choke on his drink a little bit as the rest of his friends were quick to cheer for the couple. A smile plasters itself onto his face as he pats his best friend on the back.
"Congrats Jiminie," Taehyung said sincerely, making his best friend's crescent moon smile appear.
"Thank you," He pats Taehyung on the back. "Do you want to be my best man?"
As hard as it may be for Taehyung not to blurt out his feelings, he could never take away that happiness from Jimin.
āOf course.ā

uwu wanna,,,, send a prompt and a member,,, from like any kpop content youāve ever seen me reblog,,,,
This was the same YN he met that day, the same YN he became friends with even after she got the information she needed and has hung out with several times before today⦠yet she radiates a different energy than before. Something that makes him see her not as one of his friends, but as someone he was searching for his entire life.
Hi Jo!!
Iām sorry itās taken me a while to read one of your works. Iāve heard about your writing through friends and they have all said such wonderful things about you, and now that Iāve finally had the chance to Iām wondering why itās taken me so long to get to you.Ā
You are a treasure trove. Your words speak and hold so much meaning and emotions its breathtaking the way you are able to move readers. To make people just simply feel. And thatās a wonderful power to have in terms of writing and it showed through this piece. Each and every word was fluid, like I was watching water ripple softly or looking up into the sky and seeing the clouds pass. Everything had a purpose and it felt oh so beautiful just to read only one paragraph of your work.
YN doesnāt exactly wait for a confirmation though, already stepping out onto the walkway, but itās probably for the best. It gives Taehyung a chance to look her over one more time, a small smile gracing his features as he feels the warmth heās never felt in his heart before.
This part just felt warm for me. Like this was the first time where Taehyung truly felt like he was in love with her and just...wow. My heart is just full of sunshine and comfort just by these words.
Until when was he going to stop torturing himself with the idea of loving her? What more reassurance did he need to feel that if he expressed his love to her, she would welcome his love in a heartbeat?
And this part. I love the way you were able to detail his hesitation. Itās so poetic and whenever I come back to look over it my heart beats a few paces faster just because of how strongly put these emotions are.
The ending is what really made a strike to my chest. Can I just say that reading what happened made me uneasy and heartbroken? Because I feel she died by drunken behavior. It was a bit ironic seeing that. How Taehyung was also drunk at the climax of everything as well, and itās shattering to think about the what-ifs. To wonder if she still wouldāve been alive if Taehyung wouldāve just said something. Like a butterfly effect.
To keep my rambles from getting too long, Iād like to finish with this: You are so special Jo. You have so much talent that I canāt even begin to explain how much I adored reading this piece, and I know that Iāll love the others that I have saved just as much. Thank you so much Jo for sharing your writing with us. I canāt wait to read more of your stories. Iām sending you my lovešššššĀ Ā

He was selfish, heād admit it. Taehyung wanted you here for as long as he could possibly have you.
Wow....so the angst train came early huh? I feel like I have to catch my breath because....WOOOWWW you know?
This probably doesn't make any sense right now and I'm sorry, but I'm just utterly in shock and amazed by how you were able to fit in these emotions in just this first part.Ā
So instead of telling you he loved you, Taehyung whispered it in the safety of the guest bedroom, where the only person who could hear it was himself.Ā
This part right here hurt! I know that this is only the first part and thereās still so much to be uncovered but this was sooo good. And I can't wait to read more.

At least Taehyung knew it wasnāt the sex that was incompatible.

You are bored to death. And lonely. But mostly bored to death. Pun intended.
So I finally, finally, have the time to read this series the way that I want (which is why I'm rereading the prologue again so I can now have the full effect of the series). I know that I've told you this before, but this is a series that I've been waiting patiently to read. Seeing everyone reblog it and write their thoughts on how good each chapter was made me jealous, and now that I have time carved out, I too can now read this series and write to you.
Usually, when it comes to ghost stories, I've always imagined a sort of grayish hue around them. Maybe it's because the characters are dead and gray is just a color representing some sort of inadequacy, their life, taken away from them. Or, maybe it's because where I live, it's been constantly raining, and I've inadvertently mapped the color of the sky onto here. But with this, there seems to be a spark of colorāa rainbow in the midst of dark clouds.
The main character seems so kind and gentle. Warmhearted even while in the prologue, you can see her cursing the heavens that she can't pursue a life in the same manner as her previous mortal ways (the part where you described her being slingshot all the way through the house because she tried to leave made me chuckleš¤£).
I can't wait to continue reading this series and updating you on my thoughts, August!! This is a series that I can envision so vividly playing through my mind, like a movie or some sort of Netflix series. You and your words constantly remind me of why I love to read. Why whenever I hear news about upcoming works, I get a slight tingle that runs down my legs in excitement (you also remind me of the reason why I have to wear glasses because of me reading with my phone held close to my face late at night lol! But, it's a give and take so it's okayš)
Thank you so so so so soooo much, August! I can't wait to continue reading!!! I adore you so much, my friend. Sending you love!!

āHi, yes, thatās me. And youāreā¦.Taehyung? For the room, right?ā
He smiles, youāre blinded.
So, as I am sitting here and typing out my thoughts, I wanted to ask you a question or maybe relay my epiphany? Nonetheless, it is still something that has been poking at my mind: is the title āmy tears ricochetā a play on the fact that because of her immortal self, she can too ricochet? Like how she was flung back inside and through the house in the prologue because she tried to leave, and because the title is using āmyā itās actually her tears that are rebounding because sheās...you know...dead? I could be overthinking this, but that question popped up in my mind last night while I read this part.
Anyways.
Even though this is only the first part, and we have now officially met Taehyung, Iām excited to see where this all goes. Knowing that they both are pretty curious about one another and find each other attractive, itās super cute, and itās going to be interesting to see how this all unravels. I can see many moments of laughter, but also some where youāll probably see me in your notifications/messages crying to you because of heartacheš. Hopefully, though, that wonāt come super soon. I donāt think Iām ready to cry yet.
One thing that did make me laugh a little though is the part about cooking shows. Even though I love learning new recipes, I might have accidentally conditioned myself to fall asleep to them since I always tend to watch them at night. And, I don't know, I also think it's just all the sounds during the video that make me really calm (and hungry), you know?
Okay! Thank you so much, August, for this series! Iām looking forward to reading the next part š„°. Sending you lots of loveš

Oh.Ā
You and your heart (and some more primal parts of you) do a double take. The man standing in front of you is beautiful. Hauntingly so. (And thatās coming from you.)
Keep reading
He gets to see you and your smile every day. His little crush also might have grown a little bigger, but honestly, how could it not, when youāre the most endearing, wonderful person, he has ever met.
Thereās just something being curious on whether Taehyung will eventually find out about the main characterās state, of whether these two roommates will eventually tell each other about the feelings that linger in their hearts, that makes handling my grip on not wanting to burn through this series in a day difficult. It's a comfortable curiosity though, one that keeps me on my toes during the periods between chapters. But I'm no ballerina, and I can be quite impulsive at times, but for now, I'll try to make sure (for myself) that my feet don't hit the ground quite yet.
The parallelism used to detail all of the ways the main character makes Taehyungās heart flutter makes me want to sit in those puddles of words for a little while. It's been quite some time since I've had a crush- a real one that felt pure and true to the heart, so trying to remember the way my heart once fluttered is a bit similar to trying catching clouds, but picturing those moments, moments that were heartwarming such as the anecdotes of the mug and the baking show commentary, and ones that are not so gentle to the heart, made me feel as if it wouldn't be so difficult to have those feelings again if I really wanted to.
Even though their relationship is pretty new, you can see how much they care about each other, romantic feelings aside. However, something that hurt though was when we (you and us as readers) realized that she couldn't console him in the way she wanted to. Nurture him in the way that he needed at the time since physical touch could be his love language. And I know that there have been references to the main character's unbeating heart, but I'd like to think that her heart is the purest, and most whole and vibrant heart there is (and it's technically only the second chapter). Even though oxygen and blood are the two vital things technically needed to make a heart work, she makes it easy to think otherwise. I mean, there are people in this world who do have oxygen and blood coursing through them, but that doesn't always mean that they have a heart. And I hope that the character knows that she is more than just her enviable body.
I also liked the mention of Taehyung and Yoongi and how they are now on amicable terms (with the help of the main character, but it's still a win!). I hope to see more of him maybe, and I can't wait to continue reading!
Thank you so much, August! This series is a new light in my life (handled and cared for by you, of course).

āHey ____, do you believe in ghosts?ā
As the chapter title oh so happens to also be one of my favorite BTS songs (and side note, I saw this on Twitter last night, and my heart did a thing because it felt serendipitous to see

)
Okay, anyways, a part of me felt that this part would take me on a ride because of that. Thankfully, we haven't hit the angst train (yet), so my heart is spared. On the other hand, I was also holding my breath and inadvertently preparing myself for the "what if". Like, what if Taehyung ended up being afraid of her because he knows now? What then? Would he move? Would he still have feelings for her? That sort of thing. (Also, Iāve already read part 4 andā¦.š. Iāll come back soon and write to you again.)
Taehyung though is really smart (Buzzfeed Unsolved could never! Ryan and Shane need to team up with him one day hahaha!) Heās intuitive and attentive to her, and I love how you highlighted that with all of the small things that he noticed, like her not touching or eating things, not going outside, etc.... I know if it were me, I would've just left it as a coincidence until they would literally have to write it on the walls! I would be that oblivious (mainly because I wouldn't want to assume. Walking through walls? Would probably think I imagined that or something lol!)
Also, I'm laughing at the Twilight reference because I recently had to pack some of my movies and came across that series. It felt really nice to see things from this story parallel with something in my life since it is entirely coincidental.
Okay, thank you so much, August! I canāt wait to update you again!š

āWhat?ā

And so you dance together in celebration of exploding lightbulbs. And so you dance together in celebration of living together. And so you dance together and around each other and it becomes a game...
Honestly, the section that I highlighted and the rest of the paragraph following is my favorite part of this chapter. It's so beautiful, and it holds this tumbling feeling of yearning and love swirling around and around again. It was overwhelming to read but in the best of ways because it feels like this is the first moment to see how much they enjoy each other. How much their existence means to one another even though they cannot tangibly be there for one another. But they try, and they find ways out of seemingly no way to close the gap between living and what it means to live.
One thing that stuck out to me was that the main character cannot remember her past before Taehyung because this phenomenon can overlap into many different realities. Even though she's dead and can't remember that past, he was the first person who made her experience genuine and unadulterated happiness. This will sound cheesy, but that's how it felt when I first joined the fandom. Of course, I remember my previous interests, the way I fangirled over Shawn Mendes, but the happiness that has come after made my previous infatuations feel dim in comparison to now. I guess itās just a natural instinct to be on the search for more, especially when experiencing feelings like joy. Itās like what I always say, why eat a Jolly Rancher when you can have a five-tier chocolate cake? Of course the Jolly Rancher is good, but it canāt compare to a chocolate cake (unless you donāt like chocolate, of course). So why spend time settling for something that doesn't make you as happy like it is now. Light cancels shadows, and eventually, you the feeling of what was once there is infinitesimal.
Also, I smiled a little about the note about period cramps and pain (I just realized that she never has to experience what it's like to stub her toe on a corner, so I'm jealous). You also made me a bit hungry with the baked bread part because I LOVE baked bread. One thing that I'm curious about though is if maybe one day the main character will see other ghosts? I can imagine that it could eventually end up being a bit lonely to not see someone else like her even though she has Tae to keep her company, so itāll be interesting to see how the rest of the story unfolds. And the part about her being able to sleep/sleepwalk was cool (I wonder if she can dream...Can ghosts dream? Is that a thing?? I think Iām getting ahead of myself haha)
Overall, I really loved this part. I just hope that Taehyung and the main character will be able to touch each other one day. Even if it's only for a second and even if it may be by accident, I hope that they can. Taehyung makes her live. Breaks down the barrier between them and gives her life outside of life, and I think that's really beautiful, so I hope that they can show each other that more physically and intimately.
Thank you so much, August for this story! And you never have to apologize for being slow. I've actually had a bullet point list of my thoughts in my notes for a few days, but I've just been a bit lazy when it comes to actually write out everything that I want to sayš . But still, I'm thoroughly excited to continue reading. Sending you lots of love!!!

For Taehyung these hours are literal hell. It fucks him up the first time it happens. It fucks him up real bad.
This chapter was so heartbreaking, so intense, oh my goodness, August. The fact that you possibly wrote this with the sole thought of āhm...letās make someoneās heart hurtā, and put this out into the world makes me both want to break down in front of you just so that you can see the pain I went through, and hug you because hugs always feel nice.
One thing that hurt me the most was that you wrote that this was the first time it happened, insinuating that there could be more instances like this. More instances where Taehyung is grieving the loss of his friend, and more instances where youāll see me back here crying to you again. Though the main character is technically already dead, the sinking and sickening feeling that comes when someone is ripped out of your life, and you're not sure when you might see them again, or the possibility of never seeing them again, is paralyzing. You brought that out those raw emotions so wonderfully. It was a beautifully tragic thing to read, but Iām glad to have read those words written by you.
And then thereās this part:
It breaks your heart as you sit down next to his lethargic figure and beg him to get up, to please at least drink something, to eat something, to take care of himself, if you canāt do it for him, please, Taehyung.
I began choking up here because I could hear the main characterās voice saying these lines so clearly. Pleading for him to do something, anything, except mourn her, because seeing Taehyung in that state was just as heartbreaking as it is for her (it reminded me of that part in The Lion King with Simba and Mufasa), and it was another reminder that even though he can't see her, she is always watching over him. This was another moment where I wished that they could touch each other since this brought my heart to a new low while reading this story. However, it was mended a little when you wrote, "your unbeating heart jumps". Itās just a reminder of how much they both genuinely care for each other, enough the break the barrier of what is deemed impossible. What should be impossible, and Iām just so in love with these characters.
Thank you so much, August for another part!! Iāll see you soon!!!š

āŖāTae, what does this mean?ā
āIt means Iām scared.ā His deep voice is quiet, and Taehyung's gaze finally meets your eyes for a second.ā«
ā³"War and art are best observed at a distance." -Vincenzo Cassano, Vincenzo
Even though we as readers and the main character know that sheās dead, it still doesn't ease the burn of having it almost put in front of our faces. When reading this story, you see both the beauty and the burden of what it means to be alive and what it means to be dead, and we have to watch the cycles of what it means for both characters to live in a way that is not easily harmonious and brings the most pain.
Things are more careful and cautious now between Taehyung and the main character ever since the previous events. It feels like they're both walking on glass, even if they both try to believe that it's concrete. The way that they now tiptoe more around certain topics is interesting to see because the air between them now feels large and stagnant, and heavy. You know, after reading this six times, I thought that this gap was a bad thing, but honestly, after reading this for the seventh time, thatās where my mindset began to change, and I think that rather than this moment being something trivial, it's a bridge. A shaky and fragile one right now, if I do say so myself, but you slowly begin to see that these moments where they're both upset are just a matter of how much they care for one another. How much they truly couldnāt survive a life without one another. I mean, the questions that were being asked and the conversations had would only take place if you cared about another, so I think that itās so beautiful even though thereās still this stinging pain that lingers in my chest because of it.
I think thatās why the quote that I highlighted above rings so vital to me right now, and itās one of the reasons why I appreciate reading so much.
And then, you get hit with another blow. The famous F word can be relieving or constraining depending on the side you stand on, but I think that Tae is using it to protect himself along with his puns because he knows how much he cares about the main character. He already knows the pain of what it feels to not have her in his life anymore, and making sure that sheās still around when sheās supposedly sleeping is used to soothe his nerves, mind, and heart. Thatās one moment that meant a lot to me, even though it was only briefly mentioned.
As we progress more through the story, I love how each chapter shows how the main character becomes more and more human. From being able to touch things and now smelling vanilla, I feel like itās only a short amount of time before we see something that could parallel to a heartbeat.
Thank you so so so so sooooo much August for this! Iām excited to continue reading on! See you soon!!!š

#5 Walpurgisnacht ā #7 i am good, i am grounded

āAre you seriously googling ā7 things you need to know about ghosts?āā

āŖHe looks at you as if you were the most precious person in the world. Softer than soft, gentler than gentle, and at the same time thereās an edge that sets a small fire inside you alight. It makes warmth flood your veins and reduces your brain to an indistinguishable mush, and you never want it to stop. The only thing you want to stop is time to bathe in this feeling just a little longer.ā«
After I read the āWalpurgisnachtā chapter, I was seriously wondering what other important holiday could affect the main character as much as that one, and Halloween went completely over my head lol. Itās a holiday that I havenāt celebrated in a while since it falls right in the middle of the semester for me, and Iām usually crammed with studying and using candy for motivation, but it's something that I sincerely appreciate and cherish nonetheless. (When you brought up the avocado costume, there were so many references that came into mind too, like the famous, āitās an avocadoā¦.thankksssssā video š , But I know for sure that the mc would look AMAZING in that costume)
One thing that I love about this mc is how relatable she is through her narration. Itās something that I caught when I first read the prologue, but while reading this part, I realized how much I truly adore her and her personality. She feels like any other girl who is trying to live while sheās...not living. She makes jokes about herself and is so incredibly charming and down to earth, but sheās also going through something that really no one can relate to or give her advice, all the while having a love interest and trying not to scare him away, and I feel like this is why this part hits the hardest:
But thatās hard. Because your roommate just has the softest look in his eyes, and the gentlest tone in his voice when he talks to you, and if you didnāt hear it with your own ears before, when he said, he wanted to be your friend, you would have sworn that he was in as deep as you are. But alas, he isnāt, so you try your best to be his friend. Which is hard. Because of feelings, which you seem to have a lot of.
Itās humbling to see how she is able to take in everything and continuously learn and grow in such a new environment. I know that itās hard for her, but sheās doing great, and if I could reach through my screen, I would give her a hug (or at least try to). (I also put this in my notes right before I went to sleep, but she seems like a person who would make Tik Toks or at least tries to learn a few of the dances with Tae lol)
I feel like from this part:
You know who you are, you know what you are, and thatās okay as well. And you have Taehyung, and he is an awesome roommate and a wonderful human being and you know that your roommate wants to be your friend, and you know that you really, really, really desperately want him to wrap his arms around you and, oh boy, you might not be as okay, as you thought.
Onward until the very end, it was a strange phenomenon of sensory overload but with the notion of knowing that the reader canāt physically feel anything. It's like...Itās like when you have a screen door or even a window that separates you from the outside world and you can see everything and hear everything in its full essence, and it feels like you can touch whatās on the other side of it, but it's still a screen door blocking you from doing that and youāre left wondering how it may feel for you. That blockage is the MCs state. Being intangible. However, just because she canāt feel physically doesnāt mean that she doesnāt have emotions. The way you described how Taehyung touched her, caressed her, even though it was only her outline---My breath was taken away by the intimacy. You did such a fantastic job of showing how being intimate can surpass the physical aspect. It was overwhelming, intense, and powerful, and I feel like if Taehyung could actually feel her, my senses would be in complete shock.
Iām looking forward to their tomorrow, August. Thank you so very much for writing this series. Iām in love with this, and I am completely infatuated with your mind. I adore youš

āŖāDo you think I enjoy being like this?āā«
Admittedly, Iām writing this during a period where I should be studying. I have an exam in T-11 hours, but yet, the only thing that I has been poking and prodding at the back of my mind is thisāthese characters. And the fact that writing to you back and forth for over the past few weeks has been like writing intimate and sentimental letters to a friend. I enjoy this very much, and knowing that there are only a few more chapters left, a few more thousand words left of the story between these two, makes a ball of emotions gather at the pit of my throat.
Itās bittersweet.
Last chapter, I was looking forward to their tomorrow. Wondering where their point of no return, their Pandoraās Box, would lead to. However, I wasnāt expecting it to be like this, where pain and angst are at the forefront. People usually say that things get worse before it gets better, and thatās the mantra that Iām going to be holding onto close to my heart.
Another thing that Iād like to admit is that Iāve read this chapter two...actually three times now as Iām currently gathering my thoughts, and the last part, the part where the main character says,
As you furiously try to wipe your tears away, one escapes your hand and makes its way to the floor. But just before the salty liquid hits wood, the drop vanishes into thin air.
As if it had never been there, as if it had never existed.
It hurts. A lot, actually. A part of it is because somehow my music shuffled to the song āi love youā by Billie Eilish, which is a sick joke played by the universe in my opinion to get me more emotional, but I digress.
I think though that this is the first time that I thought about my life through a characterās experience. While Iām sitting here tearing up and the possibility of having tears fall down my cheeks is a warranted tangible entity, it is not for her. The things that I sometimes take for granted within my life is something that she wishes for herself. That made me think a lot. Feel a lot more, and I thank you. Even though itās a small line, it means everything to me.
I feel like Iāve been rambling through this, so Iām sorry, but I really hope that they are able to hopefully one day express how they feel about each other. I hope that they can have a relationship that breaks this platonic barrier with reciprocal hints that things could and can go forward and be more than what they are now. I hope that they can grow old together (is that even possible? Maybe one-sided, which is bittersweet in itselfā¦). But for now, I will accept this and the fact that theyāre trying to get a hand on their emotions right now. Break past their own barriers of anxiety toward the unknown. I mean, I bet Taehyung would have never thought that he would be living with a ghost, but here we are. And there he is, facing his own battles:
Why wonāt they come out? The words heās been meaning to say to you for - goddammit - weeks, and now itās too late. He has hurt you in a way he never wanted to.
Even though this is a sad moment, for both the characters and the readers, I can empathize a bit with him. Not necessarily to the point of hurting someone, but I know that there have been some moments where speaking up about some things could have alleviated the burdens and battles within. But of course like everything in life, every action has a reaction, and it ultimately led to one of the most devastating moments in the story:
With the sound of the front door closing, you feel something finally snapping in you. Your knees give out, and you fall to the floor. A marionette whose strings have been cut, sunken in on itself, head hanging low.
This, as well as a few other lines that I highlighted, were so impactful. They sit in a pile in my chest, in my stomach, weighing heavily and so poignantly without a hint of ever eroding. Thank you for sharing your writing, August. I will forever and ever adore you and your words. I canāt wait to read more.š

ćIt starts as a vague feeling. Something settles in Taehyungās stomach, reaching its arms up to irritate his organs. Like a bad version of having the butterflies.ć
People often confuse the feelings of butterflies and anxiety when it comes to forming relationships. Itās easy to when both dynamics sprout from the same entity,
"You"
Well, not you you, just other people in general. We all, to some degree, want to be liked and accepted for who we are, but sometimes that can be scary. Soulmates, however, provide a security blanket. A surety in knowing that your other half will like you for you and that you don't need to put on a facade. You donāt have to wonder if what youāre doing is good enough or if youāre embarrassing yourself. You donāt have to wonder if your mouth feels dry because you are nervous or speechless. So it was interesting to read a story where the usual soulmate tie, something that establishes a sense of familiarity or a "this is my person" notion lean toward that sickening feeling of anxiety. I'm not sure how soulmates or soul ties work, but with this, it wasn't what you might have expected. Nice. Soothing. There. Instead, this story replaces that with panic and adrenaline wrapped around the prospect of Taehyungās job. There is uncertainty hidden behind bravery. Worry without knowing what to be worried about throughout this, and to me, these feelings were a hidden genius.
My favorite part was when Taehyung and his soulmate met because their first words were so simple but so poignant. Like a lock and key. It was perfect and beautiful in the way it meant to be for them.
Thank you for writing a story about these two people. It shows a different side of things that brings its own unique sparkle, so I thank you for turning this trope into your own. Itās been a while since Iāve written to you, Lo, so Iām really glad that I was able to do that here. Iām sending you lots of loveš

Ah, we finally come to this part.
If I'm being completely honest, the thought of them having sex never really crossed my mind. Maybe it's because, well, the main character is dead (?), but also perhaps it's because of the way you wrote their relationship, the main character and Taehyung's. Time and time again, there was a lot of focus on them just being present with one another, beside each other, in whatever the case might have been. From cooking in the kitchen to watching movies, dancing with each other, and even more impactful moments where there was just so much love and admiration felt and shared between the two, it felt hard to breathe. And I think it was those moments that made me go, "yeah, I'm okay with just this,". So, when the events in the latter half of the chapter happened, it was safe to say that I was pleasantly surprised.
Getting there wasn't easy though.
We pick up where we left off when it comes to the main character and Taehyung. There's a lot of distance between the two, physical and emotional alike, and one thing that I really liked about how you wrote this chapter was the way you connected it to the "pull" inside of her.
This pull has been present since the beginning of the series, keeping her locked inside her home and never allowing her to stray. But the moment Taehyung comes shifts the rules/capacities of her limits and capabilities, and you see as time goes on how much he has affected her until it comes to a pinnacle at this moment.
The pull that she feels in her chest is almost like a tether, keeping her close to him. There was distance between the two, both physical and emotional, and the fact that they had their argument didn't help ease the strain of it.
When she makes her way out of the house and goes across the street, it's almost like that force is pulling her towards him, getting stronger and stronger until finally, it eases (if not only a little) when Taehyung finally comes to answer the door. Like a rubber band relaxing back to its natural state. It was a beautiful moment for me because this is where you also see the conversion of that pull into something more. Something human, like the feeling of butterflies fluttering in your stomach and sometimes in your heart.
(Also⦠I, too, am wondering what Yoongi meant with that sentence after he opened the door....)
And then this part:
And suddenly his hand is on your arm. Itās warm, and your worlds stop turning.
ā¦.
āI donāt know what this is. I donāt know what this means. And I donāt know what this could be.ā His voice grows smaller, and a little uncertain, while his eyes are now locked onto his hand that hasnāt moved from your arm one inch.ā But I want it. I want you, in whatever way there is. In whatever way, youāll have me.ā
ā¦.
You hold out your hand to him, and with wonder in his eyes he takes it and intertwines your fingers with his, marvelling at the way your hand fits into his perfectly, as if itās the only place it was meant to be.
*I wonāt say anything about this because just reading it and feeling the emotions is enough. But, it feels like in a way, they're both making each other live, hence the quote I highlighted above. And I'm just in love with the way you wrote their love*
Also, the way you wrote the love-making scene?!?
Each kiss, each gentle caress of lips and tongues accelerates the fire that burns inside you.
Each sound, each stuttering breath, each whispered name, each moan, and each whimper that leaves one of your mouths a testament of the love that fills the room.
Oh! I have butterflies.
I think that the fade to black was an excellent choice because it felt full in knowing that they were able to be with each other so intimately and in a way they both wanted. Everything about this part was just so beautiful and captivating, and I just- UGH!!!!!
We also both know that Iāve already read the next chapter, so I canāt wait to write to you fully about it. But it also kinda sucks knowing that thereās only two more chapters left for me to come crying to you about. Iām going to really miss this series. Thank you for writing a series that makes me want to miss it, August. Iām forever sending you my love (both through these review love letters and DMs, and just anywhere else possible)š

AUGUSTHSHAJAJAJAJAK!!!!
This is truly one of my, if not my absolute favorite chapters of the series so far. The calming and homely atmosphere present here is a perfect contrast to what the previous chapters contained, and it just feels nice to watch from outside how the main character and Taehyung interact with each other now. Especially after all of the angst and pining happening before. It's very peaceful. Serene. Natural. More so now with the B-word out in the open.
Yeah, that's right. BOYFRIEND!!!!
Itās nice to see how things have fallen into place between these two characters. Iām so utterly in love with the way they love each other. Thereās also something to filling about this part:
But thanks to Taeyhungās boundless patience, youāve taken step by step together, and these days youāve even been starting to explore the neighbourhood, always hand in hand, expanding your limited knowledge about your ghostly existence together.
That just makes me think that everything is going to be okay for them now, and I love that for them. The way that they have been there for each other during this entire journey and thereās still more for them afterwards once the final words have been read. Part of me isnāt ready to get to that point even though itās literally one chapter away, but Iām really looking forward to seeing how their journey ends.
Also, I am very, very pleased with how cuddly Taehyung is in the morning, and the fact that they would forgo hotteok for other...sweet and sticky things as youāve saidšš(Iāve never tried hotteok before, but I understand their dire wants haha!)
August, thank you so, so much from the bottom of my heart for writing a series that has made my heart race from the beginning. MTR has made me think that if I were to be in a relationship, I'd like to have moments like this one. (Cheers to you August for raising my standards. Again.) Iām forever sending you my love even if you have 99.9999999% of it alreadyš

ć"In this quiet moment, with his soft strands between your fingers it becomes impossibly clear to you that you love him and that you need to tell him, even though it scares you beyond anything. Because after uttering these three little words, thereās no going back for you. With these words out in the open, thatās it for you. You will have to haunt him until his dying day probably. You donāt see it playing out any other way."ć
I feel as though I deserve a standing ovation or a gold medal for being the slowest reader at this moment because, my goodness! Iāve been sitting on my thoughts about this chapter for a month (cross out) a while now, and I feel like now Iām beginning to get myself out of a mental block, and Iām very glad that Iām able to write reviews again. Especially to you, my friend.
Experiencing this chapter, well, more specifically, Walpurgisnacht again from a different lens, brings a bit of light to this dark period. The relationship that had been building up since the beginning is now at a peak, and they are able to have each other in a way that didnāt feel possible before due to the fear of uncharted territory and what uncovering the unknown would mean for them later on. For lack of better words, everything seemed pretty intangible, but now you bring a sense of establishment that I really love.
In terms of Walpurgisnacht, as you wrote, Taehyung and the main character were more prepared for it this time, and I enjoyed its build-up. The bittersweetness of it all lingered throughout longing touches and caresses. Their love was never lost as they entangled themselves throughout the moments before in their anxiousness. Their intimacies were heightened through the knowledge that no matter what form the main character is in, they will meet each other again, and that in itself is so incredibly beautiful.
There is another level of assurance, trust, and conviction between these two as well that is so incredibly beautiful, and I really admire how you played into that with the flickering lights. It was a small touch, but something that held a lot of weight, and in addition to that, there was the image of Taehyung continuing to talk to the main character and carry on as if nothing had changed which was so evocative. It's easy, so easy, to fall into this world with them, so I can only imagine how it felt for them to realize how much they had fallen for each other throughout these moments you shared with us.
Another point that I enjoyed reading was the parallelism of their thoughts and the little moments where they were so close to saying those three little words, and the way it happened was incredibly soft and heartwarming. I've been seeing people online say that being in love feels warm and safe, and though I've never been in love, I know that they had fallen for each other way before this moment. Everything just snowballed perfectly, and the way you wrote these two characters and their story is unlike anything Iāve ever seen before. It's exciting, heartwarming, emotional yet beautiful.
If Iām being honest, I am excited yet nervous to finally read the last chapter. Maybe thatās a part of the reason as well that Iāve been a bit quieter than usual. Nevertheless, I have really enjoyed this series, and Iām looking forward to reading everything else that I have on my list from you.
Thank you for sharing your talent with the world, August. You are incredible. See you soon!!!š

āŖāIām so sorry. Youāre going to die.āā«
You know, usually, whenever I come to the end of a serious, I say something like āFinally, weāre here at the endā or something of the sort, but as Iām writing/typing this out, that seems a bit optimistic. Itās bittersweet coming to the end of an era. A series, more specifically.
I remember coming to you earlier this year to let you know that I would be reading MTR during the summer, but now itās fall, and in a way, it matches how Iām feeling deep inside. The start of things coming to an end. A transition period. But one filled with beautiful colors nonetheless, and lots of tasty treats and holidays spent with those you love.
Iām glad that I read this when I did. Reread it, actually, as I do with any fic just to get my mind into sorts, but I feel as though this was an emotionally perfect ending. Being able to see the sequence of events of this story from a different point of view, a point of view that I hadnāt even considered until it was right there in front of me, was a beautiful way to wrap this up. Remembering and reimagining the muffin tin point and Walpurgisnatch and the ongoing escalade of feelings between Taehyung and the reader felt so blissful and nostalgic and new. It gave life to a deeper part of this story that I didnāt even realize, and it's something that should be treasured tremendously.
More so, I felt my breath catch once I realized what Yoongi meant when he said āHuh, strange. I thought it was the house." a few chapters ago. Even though I feel like I mentioned it as the chapters went on, I was still faced with surprise once it was said that the reader and Taehyung were tethered haha! That, too, was a beautiful and intimate moment. To be honest, I was nervous about it though. I was worried that maybe Taehyung or the reader would lose the other and would have to continue life without their partner, but you turned it into something admired and adored. Dying is not something to be sorry for in this context. In fact, that just means that theyāve established their chance of living. Finally. Itās beautiful. Peaceful. Unburdened and unobstructed.
I also want to add that I really liked this part:
Yoongi hangs his head slightly. āI might have deserved that.ā He looks up, and meets your eyes. āI did come everytime you called though, didnāt I?ā The blue thread lights up and you smile at the silent apology he sends through it. You hadn't been that alone after all, and definitely wonāt be in the future.
This part just wraps everything up so nicely, and it is definitely one of my favorite parts of this story.
You write so beautifully, August. If there were a way to make your words more viable, then I would. It's soft and emotional, yet comforting. A place that anyone would find a home in if they soaked in your words for just a moment. This story encapsulated just that, and I feel blessed that I could read such a story at a time like this.
Now Iām getting a bit teary-eyed as this will be my last love letter for this story (but definitely not for you, my friend). Iāll always think back to this piece with warmth. Thank you for bringing that to me on this chilly day. You have my loveš
