Summary
There is a dick on his face. There is a big, bold dick drawn onto his face in black permanent marker, and though Jeongguk scrubs and scrubs and scrubs until his forehead is red, he only succeeds in smudging it around. He pumps a fistful of soap onto the towel and renews his efforts with twice the vigor. He has hagwon later today, and he’d rather step on Legos than go there like this. Maybe, he thinks, pausing for a second to examine the state of the dick, his parents will allow him to skip just this once. Does this count as a medical emergency? Jeongguk isn’t sure, but his hands are shaky and the towel is shaky and he’s growing more panicked by the second because it won’t come off. He’s going to die. He’s going to die of public humiliation in front of everyone, and then he’s going to come back to life and kill his soulmate, because who the fuck draws a dick on their forehead knowing full well that it’ll show up on someone else, too?

Just nowOMG HOW DO YOU WRITE SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL, SO MEANINGFUL, SO UNEXPLAINABLE, BUT YET JUST WHAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHEER UP. YOU MUST BE AN ANGEL. AND IM THE TYPE OF PERSON TO LITERALLY SKIP A BUNCH OF SENTENCES IN A FANFIC AND SPEED READ BECAUSE IT HURTS MY HEAD TO TAKE IN A BUNCH OF EXTRA INFO I DON'T NEED. BUT I DIDN'T EVEN DO IT ONCE WITH THIS STORY IT WAS SO PERFECT. ALSO IM NOT EVEN A TAEKOOK SHIPPER BUT I LOVED THIS. THANK YOU

Just nowHoly fucking shit. This was such a fun little thing to read, I'm literally (okay maybe not LITERALLY but still, very literally) crying from how sweet this was. From beginning to end, it was enjoyable and funny and quirky and I was rooting for JK and Tae the whole time, as individuals in a different world. I felt myself grow-up with Kook (for a very short while) and I was so incredibly PROUD of him when he fibally relaxed a bit and gathered up his courage to meet Tae. I felt Taehyung's desire to at least KNOW who his other half was, and I anticipated every moment leading up to him FINALLY meeting the one person he knew he already loved. The scene where they met played out in my head like a film! It happened in slow-motion and it was dramatic and heart-fluttering and I may or may not have (but totally did) felt my throat clench a little and there could have been excess moisture in my eyeballs and... Mhm, it was great.. amazing... hope-inducing.... heartfelt.... GORGEOUS AND ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL (such understatements but they are the only words I can even think of right now) ♡♡♡♡♡♡It makes me wish that things like the soulmate system in your fic were REAL and that this story was REAL. I'm actually quite sad that it's not :(I'm honeslty hoping you do a pt.2 even though this is already so so so good on it's own (xTHANK YOU FOR POSTING SUCH A LOVELY STORY <3makes me think that YOU are also a lovely PERSON and you deserve a love as sweet as the one you wrote about :')

Just nowyou know it's a good fic when even i start giggling on multiple occasions. TY!! for blessing my eyes with such great taekook content and writing, i honestly don't think there's enough words in the english language to describe just how NICE of a read this is, no matter how many times i read it. maybe lots of blurry snaps will do?

Just nowso CUTE im weaK for soulmate au so so WEAK i dropped everything and read this #noregrets so darn cute 10/10 shykook (and that summary tho topnotch xD)

Just nowI really love soulmate au and i've really liked the original prompt when i saw it on my dash but I've never suspected that someone not only would write a taekook fic out of it, but that it'd be so good too. I really liked how you depicted Jeongguk's hesitance? I feel like it's something some soulmate aus gloss over but I'm glad you mentioned how you created a system that isn't perfect, that allows for mistakes (and multiple soulmates!! granted, definitely not a mistake, that one). Everything felt so much more realistic thanks to that. The whole scribbling various stuff, reminders and whatnot and the bruises felt very Taehyung too. (Although I can totally imagine Jeongguk being covered in bruises as a kid too, being the active and curious, sometimes a bit reckless person that seems to be.)And I really really liked the line about soulmates providing just happy beginnings and happy endings being something you must work to achieve? And how them finally meeting in person was such a happy beginning but how it didn't magically solve everything because that's up to them and there'll be time for that in the futureAll in all, this was really delightful, I hope to see more from you!!

Just nowOMG look I AM A SUCKER FOR SOULMATE AUS I WANT ALL OF THEM and this ship has surprisingly few stories with this plot and most of the existing ones have been deleted for some reason AND THEN I COME HERE ONE DAY AND THERE IS THIS ONE AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY.Everything about it is sweet and beautiful and makes my insides melt AND IT'S SO IN CHARACTER, seriously. Seriously. I can imagine Jeongguk acting just like this in this situation, his insecurity regarding how his soulmate would react to him, the way he felt like he lost his opportunity to respond, everything was so heartwarming.At the same time, my heart was breaking for Taehyung when he passed ten years of his short life thinking he did not have a soulmate. I was really sad for him and wanted to know how he came into terms with that. It made me glimpse his strong character when Jimin mentioned that.OMG I want to know how their lives went on and I want to be invited to their wedding or something I LOVED THIS STORYP.S.: of course Park Jimin is the creator of the sharpie dick. Of course. P.P.S.: I fell from my bed when Jeongguk decided to hide under Jimin's bed.

Also loooved your characterization of jungkook, he's such a meme. I basically laughed forever and my cheeks hurt from smiling, so thank you :)Can't wait to read more of your writing, it warms my taekook shipping heart <3

trailing
Just nowI can't believe you actually went and wrote a 13K+ taekook fic after all those twitter conversations. But it was!! so good!! I actually started giggling when Jeongguk hid under the bed. And the characterization was amazing?? The ending was perfect, too. You're going to hear enough from me on twitter anyways, and this comment is a mess, but thank you for writing this cute story. It absolutely made my day.

D: (no but seriously thanks for making my first time reading a taekook fic a great experience. looking forward to your future works!)

Just now(( OKAY SO AO3 DELETED MY COMMENT FOR SOME REASON BUT I MANAGED TO SALVAGE IT FROM MY BROWSER HISTORY. HERE GOES TRY #2 IN THE SINCERE HOPE THAT I'M NOT DOUBLEPOSTING. ))THIS WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST, SWEETEST THINGS I'VE EVER READ. i love everything from it, right from jeongguk's matter-of-fact narrative style that gets just the slightest bit hysterical at the most perfect of times (i literally lost my shit when he "scoots the fuck over to the bed", that was the most golden moment, THANK YOU FOR IT) and adds that much more humour to the entire setting.i really, really love what you did with this premise! i think certain tropes often become hard to work with in the sense that you feel like everything that can be done with this concept has already been done and there's no novelty-- which is precisely why i loved this piece so much, because you took a trope and dismantled it in the sweetest of ways, weaving it into real life and human nature and silly accidents so that the slightly helpless feeling of not having a choice that comes with the idea of soulmates was soothed over by their goodwill! the most striking moment for me, my favourite one of the fic and definitely the one that made me the happiest, was taehyung coming over to ask jeongguk for the pen. it's just so wonderful and well-timed, combined with the thrill of jeongguk seeing him up close and the wonderfully taehyung decision to ask around for a pen, all of it was so very lovely and immediate.[[ incidentally, i really did lose my shit when i got to the part of taehyung coming up to jeongguk's table:22:49 teesta OH MY GOD22:50 teesta HAERHGHSEHRHEGHGAEGHRSEKRGJHSERKGJSER22:50 teesta I LTIERALLY RAISED YSELF ON M YKNEES AND MADE GRABBY HANDS AND THIS HIGH PITCHED SOUND22:50 teesta IIIIIIIIIII LOVE THE WORLD ]]I LOVED YOUR DESCRIPTIONS OF JEONGGUK'S WHIRLWINDS OF FEELING. especially the one where he hears taehyung's voice for the first time, i could feel my heart speed up just as much as his because not only was your build-up fantastic, but your way of writing jeongguk's freakout was so in-the-moment and effective that i was curling my fists like OH GOD GET OUT OF THERE UR GONNA THROW UP OTHERWISE.all in all, thank you so much for sharing this lovely fic! it really made my day/week/month and i am the biggest fan of sweet, wholesome content, particularly with teenagers and twenty-somethings, who i have a special soft spot for (being a twenty-year-old myself and in love with university, youth, and everything that comes with it). i hope you have a wonderful weekend! <33

Just nowah its been a while since I read a cute and realistic fic about soulmates (and by that I mean I'd probably be Jungkook in this scenario). Really glad I read it and the ending made me laugh omg. thanks for sharing!

Just nowThis was beautiful and funny and everything in between. ❤️❤️
GarnetTheMighty
Just nowOh my god...This was so gorgeous, holy crap..Like SO GORGEOUS. Just beautiful.Both Jungkook & Tae had such precious personalities.& their relationship, the way they communicated with each other was so great.Like 10/10 this was fantastic!!
pardon
Just nowThis was really great. I'm so happy I stumbled across it. I wish I could point out a particular line or part that really stood out but honestly I just thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Jeongguk being so hesitant yet enthralled, and Taehyung being so optomistic/forgiving/patient. All of it, it was an awesome read. Sorry I can't be more articulate but basically thank you so much for writing this :)

Just nowLove it! I saw you only have one bts story up - hope you post more!,Yours truly,Amelia Bedelia
TaeTaeCrazed
Just nowThis was such a cute story. But they could have gotten together way before, if Jungkook wasn't being so scary. The ending was the best!

Just nowOmg this was so good i'm on the floor??? This is a very unique soulmate AU in the sense that many others I've read have always been perfectly happy to let their characters fall into the predestined route, and then explore what happens along the way. Your fic and the premise of this soulmate AU made me think about the realities of essentially being born into a world with no consideration for your own choices- i imagine it would be terrifying, really. As much as I was frustrated with jungkook I could empathise with him on a certain level, that many a time the first step is the most terrifying one to take of all. Loved this, thank you!
Lemonia
Just nowOh wow!!! This is sooo cute <3 i kept screaming at jeongguk to get his shit together and just find Taehyung alrd, for god’s sake! This is such a great AU <33 can’t wait fo read your other fics!
