Summary

Just nowOh my gosh, I love it!!!! I feel sorry for Tae, he has nothing to do with the situation. But is dragged into it because of his brother’s bad decisions. And I just love that Jimin has a soft side. It’s like he is having an internal battle inside himself between right, and wrong. He doesn’t seem as cutthroat as the rest of the gang.

Just nowOoooooh I love this! You're a wonderful writer - I barely know Tae's brother and I already feel really sorry for him lol. Of course Tae would have an ugly orange couch lmao, super excited to read more ^_^

Chapter 1
Just nowI'm so fuking proud of Tae. I'm ashamed for doubting him for even a second, I love you. Thank god he chose Jungkook, I really love Tae. I'm glad he hasn't changed from the beginning -- he's still strong and honest and his actions immediately follows through with his morals.

Just nowTo be very honest, this would be a book that I would not pick up to read at first glance (at the tags). Im kinda sensitive to feelings (well i can be insensitive sometimes so); and waterworks do come easy to me when i read angsty stories, haha. I decided to give this book a try. It took about two days to complete the whole thing, and it is a true rollercoaster ride that is exhilarating. The author really engages the reader and entwines them in the life of the characters, though i do feel that POV changes could have a clearer indication;; some people might get confused on pov change. Overall, i really really really love the storyline and all, and how Jeongguk realises that his love for Tae is really above all else. Immensely proud of Tae for standing up to what he believes is right, even though it might get him in trouble. Also proud of Guk for opening up his heart and making the large sacrifice to leave Tae, despite him knowing that both their hearts will shatter. I would like to thank the author for writing this and making my day a lot better even with the waterworks and angst and a lot of screeching to my friends, haha.

Just nowHi! So we're looking to review this fic on BTS Book Club (But with a better name when we think of one...), and I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk to me about Lost In Translation? (Which I loved by the way!)If you'd be so willing my tumblr name is: Taehyungstongueislife or my gmail is emylineratchet.

Chapter 1
Just nowim so happy i read this early last year but its still not complete although im still pretty satisfied i still want more now this is completed i will read this again,, im not really a fan of mafia au but this one is an exception 💜
Chapter 1
Just nowI really enjoyed this au/fanfic whatever you call it. I’m not really the commenter type but i felt like i had to write something. Besides the plot i really enjoyed your writing style. This was one of the complicated ones to unravel and to put sense into their relationship to the reader which in my opinion you did well. I was pissed at the angst parts but at the end it turned well hehe. I look forward to your other work too! Fighting! :)

Just nowGood day!Your work has left indelible impressions in my soul after reading. And I would like this wonderful work to be read by as many people as possible.The speaking fandom is very large, but there are not so many authors like you. Therefore, I would like to ask your permission to translate "i forget to breathe (when i'm with you)" and publish it on a Russian-language service with a link to the original and your name.I look forward to the answer.Respectfully,

Chapter 1
Just nowLove how I just have to read the tags to know that's it's a stereotypical Mafia AU/Jungkook is a top daddy asshole/Taehyung is an spineless abuse victim/probably bordering rape at some point kinda fic. It's just the 973263298397 of it's kind.
Chapter 1
Just nowHonestly, you really have this personal touch to your works. They're so mesmerizing to read. I think your works are just as spontaneous as lethallergic, minheist, and nikkumeul. They bring back good memories.Thank you for your hard work and I look forward to more of your works. Hwaitting!!

Just nowSomeone please teach me how to use this app... Like for watpad you can put in library and in AFF you can subscribe the story and read the one's you have subscribed.... Pkease tell me how do I do like that with AO3 please?
Chapter 1
Just nowIt's such a popular fic!! I've seen a lot of armys recommending it and now that I have read this, I can understand why. At first, I was against any idea of happy ending because jk's character is not something you can be fond of.But as the story progresses, I found myself liking the character a lot. And I personally think it was fair the way story ended. I really liked the way his backstory was portrayed and sympathies with the characters a lot.This is a wonderful story and fully appreciate your talent!!!

Just nowHoly shit, I'm reading this while attending my online class. Our professor likes being a bitch and keeps on calling out random people and ask questions to check if they're paying attention or not. I AM TORN between paying attention to class and reading this amazing shiz. I'm halfway through the chapter. Please pray for me because I can NOT get my eyes off of this book. Goddammit author-nim, making me fail my classes.
