Summary
"Yoongiiiiii,” Jin groans. “Please tell me you’re not playing the edges of the friend zone again.”
“I’m not,” Yoongi insists, “we aren’t friends. We’ve hardly spoken.”
“Even better,” Jin sighs. “But listen: this is your big chance. You’ve got all weekend to be around him, letting him get to know the sexy side of that grumpy numbers guy he always wonders about.”
Yoongi snorts.
“I assure you, he does not wonder,” he says.
“Incorrect,” Jin admonishes, passing Yoongi a beer. “I don’t know Jimin much beyond work, but he’s sharp. There are only a few of you at the office; I guarantee he’s wondered about you plenty.”
Yoongi begins to protest, but Jin holds up his hand.
“But being mysterious can only get you so far,” he says. “You’ve got to make an effort.”
_________Yoongi Min and Jimin Park work together at a small company in San Francisco. Although they see each other daily, their insecurities prevent them from making a connection... until an unexpected work trip to New York allows them to see each other in a new light.
Title and chapter headings inspired by Jin's "Epiphany."

Summary
It’s been a few years since Jungkook and Taehyung crossed paths while traveling in Taiwan and fell in love. Taehyung has been content with their somewhat unconventional partnership, but Jungkook is starting to want more. A weekend getaway with their friends Jimin and Yoongi provides the perfect backdrop for a romantic moment that may change Jungkook and Taehyung’s lives forever.
_____
"Gazing out the window with his head tipped against the frame, Tae looks as beautiful as he was the first day they met, on the train to Taichung. Back then, Jungkook couldn’t allow himself to take all of that beauty in, but now he’s grateful that he gets to bear witness to it all of the time. Truth be told, Taehyung Kim is all Jungkook wants to see for the rest of his life."

Summary
A bend in the road sends Taehyung’s body sliding into Jeongguk’s. Tae feels his temperature rise and his pulse quicken at this accidental touch. He quickly scoots back to his side of the bench seat, stealing a glance to his left. Jeongguk is wearing short sleeves today, and it turns out that he has two full sleeves of tattoos covering his muscular arms.
Tae watches as Jeongguk absent-mindedly runs his fingers through his hair, his soft, dark eyes meeting Tae’s. He raises an eyebrow, giving Tae a half-smile. Taehyung blushes. Is Jeongguk flirting with him?
*******
Kim Taehyung is a writer from San Francisco who is going through a transitional period in his life. When his old friend Park Jimin invites him along on a trip to Taiwan, Taehyung is excited to take a break from the everyday, but doesn't expect to find himself faced with his wildest fantasies, in the form of rockstar chef Jeon Jeongguk.
This is a story about growth, literally and figuratively.

Summary
"'Maybe we should do something more exciting than this, if it’s our first date and all,' Taehyung says.
'Like what?'
Jungkook makes it sound like a dare, and Taehyung accepts the gauntlet with a smirk, raising his eyebrows. Jungkook should know better than to challenge him by now."
+++++++
On tour in the United States, Jungkook and Taehyung discover that they have mutual feelings for each other, but they struggle to find alone time. One night, they decide to sneak out and have an adventure.
This story takes place roughly in 2018- 2019, but I’ve taken liberties with a lot of details. The tour dates and timeline don’t match the Love Yourself/Speak Yourself tour because sometimes when scenes show up in my head, they take place in very specific locations. Also, Jungkook has his first tattoos, even though this isn't necessarily post-August 2019. I thought about changing things up for the sake of the canon, but I decided to just leave this as I imagined it. Hopefully it's as light and fun to read as it was for me to write!

Summary
Jeon Jeongguk is an actor at the height of his career, and Kim Taehyung is an artist who is just trying to support his family in the best way he knows how. They are two people who, despite their very different lives, have each been forced to play a role due to the circumstances they have found themselves in. When a rare plant unexpectedly brings them together, they are both challenged to shed their masks and reveal who they really are inside.
*****
“So you're telling me,” Nayoung asks, the volume of her voice rising slightly as she continues, “that you met THE Jeon Jeongguk on your hike, and you showed him some moss, and he rescued you when you fell, and then took you home and made out with you?”
“Yeah,” Taehyung sighs, “that would be accurate.”
Nayoung inhales deeply and closes her eyes. She lets out a long breath.
“Are you going to see him again?”
“Well…” Taehyung’s heart sinks with the realization as he says it out loud, “I didn’t get his number or anything… and…”
“...he’s fucking Jeon Jeongguk,” sighs Nayoung.

Summary
“Do you promise to use me mercilessly?”
The whistle signals the start of the point but Taehyung doesn’t move. He takes a second longer to look at Jeongguk, to remember how he looks on the court. This is the last time he’ll get to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him. They’re running out of time, but it's not over yet. One more point. The squeaks of shoes against the floors finally push him into action.
As he sees the ball make it over the net, he turns to Jeongguk with a promise.
“Always, baby.”

This is such a well thought out story of growth and self-acceptance. The characters live and breathe. Just beautiful. The final three chapters completely broke my heart, but the ending was just right. I truly can’t describe how real this love story felt to me.

Argh! This one is so damned cute. Midway through, I found myself wishing it was longer, but in the end the pacing felt perfect. Will read again.
