OMFG..this was so beautiful, painful and twisted..I don't have any idea about the drama so I didn't expect all the ups and downs of the story.. I was clueless all this time and damn my mind felt like it was on an endless run.. Everything about this fic was so good..the characterization and the pacing...the plot?? YES!! It really felt like a drama coz of the happenings... And that epilogue was everything!!!! I love Taekook having a family!! Please read tags before reading..
"Every time I think I've seen the best of you, you go ahead and surprise me with your actions. You got a heart of gold Taehyung. You're so kind. You're too good for this world. How am I supposed to stay away from you? You're everything. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."

I love how sweet and romantic they are and they do care a lot about each other.. My heart just literally stopped beating at one point that I thought they'll get caught hahaha!!

"You were right. I'm scared. I'm so fucking scared. I'm not, I can't seem to do people right you know. I either fuck them up, or they fuck me over and I don't want that to happen to us, to me or you. Because you don't deserve it."

Ahh meeting and falling in love in a foreign country with a foreign language you don't even speak.. YAS!!! This was so good! I love their dynamics and how carefree they both are. And the fact that they have a huge age gap. I'm wondering what happened after Tae went back to Seoul. And i'm curious what did Tae said to Yoongi about his unforgettable "encounter".

We all know this one is a classic one! And yooooooww!! What a journey this has been. OMFG!!! It felt like I was watching a movie while reading this. Tho I'm gonna warn you already that this is not for the faint-hearted readers and please do read the tags before reading.. Coz damn this was a LOT to take in.. This was so dark and twisted in some ways.. but somehow also realistic?? I don't want to spoil too much tho.. I now understand why this became a classic fic for Taekookers.

AHH!! I've read this in twitter as thread and omfg it was so long that I even doubted my life span wouldn't be that long enough hahaha! And when I saw that it's already in ao3, I'm not surprised that it was more than 430k words HAHA! This was known as the "Therapy AU" in twitter. I can't even begin to say how amazing this was. It's really a rollercoaster of emotions and the way the writer described Taekook's love and their relationship development in such a splendid way. Both of their character's development was one of the best I've read so far. It truly showed how they fought their own demons and to be better human beings. I love this so much!! Please read the tags before reading this fic coz some topics may be triggering to some.

This was one of the first few fics I've read last year when I started reading Taekook fics. Thank you to the anon from my CC that recommended this! I've been looking for this one but I forgot what was the title and now I saw that it already has sequels. So I've reread it the second time even though I can still remember bits from the story. Still I get the same feeling and loved every part of it. I've already said this before but I'm always gravitating towards this kind of fic where infidelity is the main topic. I just love how the characters are so human that they are questioning their actions and morals. This story was more than a cheating fic. This was about finding your true self fic and sometimes it just happens..when you met that special someone that will truly change your perspective about everything. That one person who you thought you never needed in your life. That was Jeongguk in Tae in this story. I'm so in love with this!! Definitely a must read!!!

Ahhh.. I screamed my lungs out when I saw that Sunflower has a sequel and that it became a 5 part series!! How can I missed this?!? Why I didn't know about this!?! Anyway, this was hella good!! I'm breathing for ANGST!! And I love how deeply in love Taekook are even after all they've been through. Their love story is not that conventional even from the start and of course it's not always rainbows and butterflies. This installment was everything I needed!!! Meeting Tae's parents must be terrifying for Guk. I love how he manned up and still managed to respect Tae's parents. And yes, Tae was right, who wouldn't fall in love with Jeon Jungkook.
"The truth is, sir..I don't have a lot in my life to give up in return. Taehyung is my life. But my love for him is non-negotiable. I'm not giving up to satisfy you and I never will."

"And this is what Jeongguk signed up for. The willingness to age with someone who can't hold his wine and moves from important topics like marriage to needing to be carried to the bathroom all in the span of five minutes. He's so in love."

This was so cute!! Taekook will always be "that" couple haha! I love how Tae is all perfect in the public eyes and Guk only watched him from afar and PINING over him. And when they met, they just clicked together. I'm so curious with YoonJin's backstory tho, and will there be a second chance for them?

This was such a nice plot! It was written so beautifully that at first I really felt like the android JK was really emotionless and more of like robotic-ish in some sense? Then when he started to feel jealous and slowly developing human emotions, you can’t really tell that he’s an android functioning as a human being. I loved how their story progressed and as it ended, I imagined them being together like yoonmin, happy and content with having each other by their side.
