PLEASE post "someone like you" on ao3 i need to download it and save it forever pleaseeeeeeeeeee PLEASE
omg I am so so surprised that they are back together already, i did not see that coming! like i was so shocked reading this update! but i was thinking about the beginning of this story and one thing i still do not understand is why jimin lied to yoongi about his reason for leaving when he first asked for answers. he let yoongi think for months that it was because of him which hurt him so much. i think jk even tried to get him to tell the truth because yoongi was suffering and he still didn’t. and he did not show him the pictures videos either for so long and i think it would have really helped to see them right away. i guess im just confused because jimin says he never stopped loving yoongi so why would he keep hurting him even more like that? besides lying is just wrong. but thank you for the update!
Omission of the truth is still a lie, I always have to remind myself of that. I think (I’m giggling bc I’m the author) but I think he was just scared, you know? He knew no matter what Yoongi wasn’t going to have a positive reaction and he had so much guilt. And dropping both bombs at the same time would have been so much.
Ah I’m rereading the part where their companies call them into a meeting for the first time to address the issue of their budding relationship and GAHHHH that anon needs to do a reread too. The companies were so vicious to jimin and yoongi. The company told them to break it off or let them market their relationship to the companies’ advantages and they refused. In retaliation, both their companies put their careers on hold. Yoongi and Joon’s collab was cancelled. Jimin wasn’t getting any modeling jobs. His brand deals were on hold. Yoongi got invited to the billboard awards but his company wouldn’t let him go. Jimin and Yoongi were starting to get tense with each other but forced themselves to work it through because they didn’t want to give in to their companies. They couldn’t even DATE without their companies threatening to ruin their careers. Eventually they agreed to the contract where they were to keep everything under wraps and private. Because they refused to let each other’s careers tank. You can only imagine Jimin dealing with the sheer panic ALONE when oh seung the fucking devil threatened to take everything away, yoongi’s tour etc, because jimin was pregnant. He had no choice but to give in and leave. It WAS so bad before when they were simply dating. A pregnancy in that moment of their careers would have ended them. Jimin made the right decision to leave. Now two years later Yoongi has leverage. He has made a real name for himself. That’s what we saw in his latest meeting with his company before he went out with Jimin and the boys. But Yoongi didn’t have that leverage when Jimin got pregnant. It’s sad but it’s true. Jimin was right to leave 😔
This is funny but empathizing with the anon... I knew I was pregnant because Jimin was pregnant in Hiccups, it was like... girl, you haven't gotten your period either, you just joined the club
re-reading hiccups because now i'm in the same position as jimin and i feel like shit while incubating a human being, this is true empathy my girlssss
I'm so happy jm and YG are back together!!! Looking forward to seeing them navigate this new path together. I wanted to ask, are we going to see more miscommunication related angst??
Thank you, I really do love your writing!
For the anon confused about why Jimin left Yoongi, (1) yoongi’s company threatened to pull the plug on yoongi’s entire career if Jimin told Yoongi about his pregnancy and Jimin did not want to jeopardize yoongi’s career when he was just about to embark on his first headlining tour and (2) yoongi and Jimin had an agreement with both of their companies to keep their relationship out of the public eye and there was an agreement in that contract that a pregnancy would void that agreement
Just wanted to let you know I get so happy when you update but I also wish you rest and be healthy! Have a lovely day today and every day!!! 🥰
Aww thankyou for answering my question with so much love. You are indeed a good hearted human 😊. All blessings to you 🙏🏻. And yes, I've been reading this fic since day 1 so I forgot in between 😩.
So I'm dumb but I didn't entirely get the reason why pregnant Jimin left Yoongi all of a sudden?
I don't think you're dumb, and I'm not sure how long you've been reading, if it's from the beginning (like last year), this story has gone on for so long and it can be hard to remember, i even had to re-read when i write. but essentially, to give yoongi and his career the chance jimin believed he deserved. yoon's career was and still is so important to him and jimin believed that having a child at the height of it, when the company had already so clearly said they couldn't be together, would have ruined what he worked for.
From yaburnee to tgp..its always a masterpiece..i cried a lot in yaburnee but i didnt expect that in tgp i can relate in the story. The diff is am not a celeb. But the story is a real life situation. Its not easy to raise ur child alone it took a lot of bravery and courage. Even ur on the verge of breaking you cant just give up coz someone is depending on you. No choice is not a choice for a single parent. It took me years to move on from the situation that he is not coming bck to us. That just the two us in this world. And im just so happy that eventually in this story yoonmin is trying their best to reconcile to move on. Im just so excited every update and im always willing to wait even if it took u time to update coz i know ur also a mom. Cont to write cont to inspire us and we will always here to sipport u taesus. A love u baby from your sister on the other side. Borahae
Thank you thank you for bringing in the perspective of a single parent. As one, every single choice you make is no longer just your own. And we can always say in this situation that he made the choice to do it alone, that we don't know if he would have had to if he'd have let yoongi in, but he chose anyway and there isn't really any going back on it. also, from one mama to another, you're amazing and my dms are always open to vent about the life struggles of doing this solo. ♡
Hi !! First and foremost thank you so much for the update, I’m always so looking forward to them and this one in particular got my feelings all over the place 😭😭
Then, I kinda get the comment you got abt OP not expecting them to get there this way, in the sense that although it’s clear they’ve remained in love with each other the whole time they were apart I thought we would (still think we will) see them fall back in love with each other (esp. Yoongi with Jimin) in every little and tiny details and have their own “oh” moments. However, I also trust (and always have) your writing and in this update the dialogues (particularly but not only) reflected how this was more than just acting on their sexual tension ! (+ maybe OP / me for kinda getting what they meant got that impression because we haven’t read the full fic all at once in a while).
Anyway, all this to say, the update was amazing, I cried, I cheered, I can’t possible wait to have more of them and to see them navigate everything /together/ 🥺
Thank you as always, for the update, for the amazing stories you share with us as well as your amazing writing 🫶
Ahhhh, you're so welcome. Thank you for waiting for me 🥹
I also understand their perspective. As adults too, there are so many things that lead relationships in different directions. Sexual tension is honestly for me, surface level. It's there, but it's not the guiding factor of their relationship and I hope I have in the past, and will continue to make that very clear.
I am a little relieved to see the dawn light at the end of the long tunnel that I found at the end of my wanderings.No matter what is spread out on the ground.
To be honest, I even thought that Yoongi was not going to forgive Jimin anymore and that he would manage to do it "as a parent of a child" without forgiveness.
I can understand both of their feelings, and I believe that both Jimin and Yoongi "did the best they could at the time and are still doing so.
Oh, there is so much I want to tell you, but that's all for tonight.
I love you and your works very much.
Respect and love to you.
Seeing very biased reactions makes me wonder if people are reading the same fic as me. This isn’t a lighthearted crackfic where betrayal is resolved with just a few words. You made it extremely clear how deeply Yoongi loved Jimin and how serious he was about him before he left. They were together for FIVE YEARS, Yoongi was completely devoted and then Jimin ditched him in the most painful way possible. Yoongi is an intense person, he wasn’t able to just “move on” or whatever from that type of heartbreak. Also, not everyone is the same, and for some people, material success doesn’t matter if you have to sacrifice your loved ones to get it. Yoongi said it himself that he didn’t even remember or enjoy his tour because he was so miserable over Jimin leaving him. It wasn’t what he would have chosen for himself so he doesn’t appreciate Jimin’s “sacrifice” as much as some readers want him to. And if anything is clear in your writing, it’s how much Yoongi loves Yeonwoo and adores being his dad. Based on his characterization, it would have been extremely meaningful to him to be there for the birth and the first 1.5 years of his life. So I can’t dismiss that piece of the pain Yoongi has been carrying. You have written so eloquently how much Yoongi has been hurting about losing two things: both the love of his life and that irreplaceable time with his son. It makes perfect sense that this Yoongi needs time to heal. Thank you for writing these complex characters with deep and realistic emotions. #TeamYoonmin
I think based upon their own experiences, people react a certain way. I'm the writer and I don't think I could pick a side, but I do lean one way sometimes. Also your ask is so thorough omg thank you. This story is complex, like so many of the ones I write, and the characters have complexities as well. There is so much at stake and any decision moving forward won't be a light one!
