''And as a thank you, for making my life bloom with love,
I will cherish you forever in my heart, the only place
that will never forget your touch or your words.
My man between the pages, a book that never ends
cause we always have new experiences to live.
My man between the pages, a poem with lyrics so
unforgettable just like your kind heart.
My love.
My pure, little, obsession''.
~Three years later~
been three years since the release of the globally recognized book the '' The Man Between The Pages'' by the young author Jeon Jungkook. The book which is based on the tragic love story of its own creator has been translated in ten languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. No matter how hard the journalists had tried, Jeon Jungkook has never spoken publicly about his experience due to his hatred for media exposure and exploitation of his pain for views''.
Jungkook placed his coffee on the table and turned on the volume of the radio. It felt as if it's been ages. Years of therapy and councelling, ages of writing down his thoughts and experiences in a fruitless attempt to forget the bad and hold on the good.
Forget the pain. The fear of being constantly watched. Of being lied to. Of being manipulated into doing things he never wanted.
And hold on to Jimin.
Cause he would always be Jimin for him.
''After Park Jimin's release of three years of imprisonment due to the revelation of new clues...''.
''He what?!'' Jungkook shouted and almost fell of his chair.
''...the police hasn't yet decided if the media should be informed about the reasons behind Park Jimin's release however the so popularly book has been...''.
Jungkook shut down the device.
He hasn't opened up to anyone after that day. The day when the judges decided that his boyfriend was at fault and that he was the mastermind behind the whole stalking fiasco. The day when despite his confessions and his explanation, Jimin was locked in prison. With no permission to visit him unless it was a blood related relative.
And despite his multiple attempts to pay him a visit, the officers never gave him their permission to enter. The only news he received was from Jimin's sister, Chinsun.
He paid for the woman's bail the moment his book became a best-seller. And when she asked who her saviour was, Jungkook recounted the entire story. Her tears flowed like a river when she realized that her brother- the man who grew up being called a sociopath- had committed the biggest sacrifice. He gave up his life in order to help someone he loved.
Jimin could love. And she was happy.

And for three years Jungkook lived in doubt. Was Jimin alive? Did he remember him at all? What would happen next with their love?
His hands began to tremble just with the mere thought.
Gorgeous was free.
With a hazy mind and a dazed conscience, the author gave a call to Jimin's sister which went straight to voicemail. Throwing the useless device on his couch, Jungkook started to reminisce those three abominable years. The years that Jimin jumped from a book into his life and taught him that love grows gradually and appears in all shapes and forms.
He must have been insane to forgive the said man. Anyone in his position would probably be either too angry to forgive or would have grown insane. Drowning in his thoughts, Jungkook neglected the thud that echoed behind his closed doors and slowly fell asleep.
And he dreamt of Jimin. A rare person in his life with a frequent appearance in his dreams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three hours later, the handsome raven haired grabbed his watering can and went to water his plants. A small box waited for him in his veranda with a huge ''confidential'' written on the top. Jungkook has been suspecting everyone and everything after the whole situation and this wasn't a different case. He examined the box thoroughly although deep inside in his heart, Jeon Jungkook knew who sent it to his front porch.
With a quick glance at his surroundings- his little heart desiring to just see Jimin for a moment- Jungkook grabbed a knife and opened the mysterious box, his face instantly lighting up.
A golden, collectible vinyl version of the ''four seasons'' was waiting eagerly to be heard in the box, a handwritten letter next to the beautiful gift.
''Damn you gorgeous'' he chuckled and sat down on a chair, ready to allow himself to drown in Jimin's magnetic way of writing.
''Jeon Jungkook,
It's been a while, hasn't it? Time behind bars doesn't flow fast. It felt as if I was locked in a cage for centuries when in reality it's been three years. It would be an understatement to say that I have missed you. So. Damn. Much. When I found out that you weren't allowed to visit me I turned numb. I am so thankful that you helped Chinsun, you are a wonderful person and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
I am so happy that we didn't say goodbye to each other. I always prayed to see you again, just for a mere second. Trace the outline of your lips, drown in your mesmerizing gaze, hold your hand and relive our love all over again. I found myself with you Jungkook and for that I will be forever grateful. I hope that you had forgiven me for all the pain I caused although I know it must have been unbearable.

You are my neverending thought Jeon Jungkook, the dream I had every night and saved me from rotting between four walls. Thank you. You are an endless poem cause whenever I believe I have found the way to finish it, a new magical detail about you jumps out of the blue. You complete me Kook and even if I am not with you physically, you have never escape my mind. Ever.
I have some things to take care for. I will come to you as soon as I can. Cause now I am free. I am free thanks to you. Not just from my subterranean thoughts but from my own self. I can come close to you, if you want me. You still own my heart, but do I still own yours?
See you soon Kook,
when my arms won't be able to hold you, just remember my heart will. Call me yours and I will answer. Try it.
Always, your gorgeous.
Jungkook folded back the letter and gently placed it in his chest pocket. A soft tear fell from his eyes, this time from happiness. With slow movements, the now well-known author stood up from his chair and ran out of his residance for the first time after a long time being careless, uncofined... blissful.
And without caring at all, he began yelling in the middle of the street ignoring the voices of his neighbours;
''Jimiiiiiiiin... Jimin, I am yours!'' he laughed as if he was crazy. ''I am yours'' he continued while running down the road, feeling so loved and wanted. '''Park Jimin, I love you.... Park Jimin, I am yours!''.
''And I am yours''.
THE END
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''The end''.
Jungkook smiled proudly.
Checking at the leather, compact cover of his new book, Jeon Jungkook couldn't be more proud of himself. Sure, he had great expectations of the innovative novel but he certainly wasn't expecting the outcome to be that great. Tracing the outline of the red letters decorating the frontispiece, the bright title making him look so fond of his own work, the author averted his gaze to the raven haired that quickly climbed down the stairs.
''Don't tell me you finished it''.
''It's finally done Jiminie. My gorgeous, here, I present you ''The Man Between The Pages'' , he smiled and shoved the book in his lover's embrace. Jimin just chuckled with the man's eagerness, knowing himself how much Jungkook had tried to create something pioneering and quiet unforeseen.
''After almost two years, you finished it? Finally'' Jimin pecked his husband's forehead with a dignified beam.
''Please read a page and tell me your opinion... Did I do a good job describing your beauty?''.
Jimin chuckled and opened the book to a random page.
''Crawl into the bed and let me fuck you? Woah Kook, your imagination is wilding these days'' Jimin laughed when the younger attempted to grab the book from his grip.
''Nooooo... there are so many wonderful descriptions and poems in this book and you just had to read the sex scene, didn't you?''.
''Kook... I know that you write beautifully. So delicately, artistically. And I know that everyone will love this novel and appreciate your hard work. I just hope that Taehyung and Yoongi won't get angry with the way you have portrayed them''.
''Someone had to play the bad guy and it couldn't be you... You are too gorgeous tο play that role'' he hugged him from behind and placed his head on his shoulder. ''Three years, huh? It seems like yesterday when we met. How you saved my life... I love you so much''.
''I was your psychoanalyst Jungkook. And I fell for you even though it wasn't allowed''.
''Love shouldn't have limits anyway... there is one person for everyone in the world and I know you are mine''.
''The moment you called me yours, I lost all my doubts Jungkook. I would never let anyone or anything ruin what we had. People don't...''.
''...say goodbyes to the ones they love anyway. It feels as if they won't meet again, it feels as if it's written in stone''.
''We will always be saying this, aren't we? Our love is like... like it has jumped out of a book'' Jimin exclaimed. ''Two lost souls trying to find themselves in each other''.
''It's not time for tears now gorgeous. Our friends will be arriving from time to time and I don't want them to see me cry... Yoongi will mock the shit out of me'' the younger complained.
''I think he will pay more attention to the fact that you described him as a fucking psycho and you killed him afterwards'' Jimin made a notable observation.
''Oh please... he is open-minded. I think he would enjoy the fact that he is the main villain and not a secondary character. The ending letter consists of our wedding vows...slighlty altered for plot purposes but still so wondefully amazing''.
''So let me get this straight Kook... in the book I am the man between the pages but in reality you are the man behind tha pages?''.
''It appears so''.
''You are trully the best author of our times, do you know that Kook''.
''It's because I have a great inspiration gorgeous. It's because I have you''.
~THE END~
Explanations and ''dear readers'' will be released later.

He dreams of someday being a hero, but he'll have to get over the fact that he can't swing a sword to save his life first.

Kestra, a [Combat Alchemist] and [Woods Wraith Hunter], is excited to finally receive her third class. But when she attempts to do so, she instead receives a tribulation from the God of Trials, loses her classes, and is informed by the voice of the world that she's been selected to transmigrate with only three days to go. She tries her damnedest to prepare, but even the Elements are different in this new realm. A relatively staid adjustment period is completely abandoned though as she finds that, most distressingly, hundreds of transmigrators have appeared recently with dozens enslaved by the local city lord. Fine! She may have lost her classes and the magic is funky, but she'll be damned if she doesn't have a few true-blue skills up her sleeves. [synopsis re-write by luda305] A light hearted romp where the protag transmigrator *isn't* from Earth. The main story takes place on more of a western xianxia world. Note: profanity tag is because of side characters, and sexual context tag is for some risqué elements before fade-to-black scene. Book 1 is written and scheduled for release a chapter a day till 9/26 (24 chapters total) Book 2 will be added after it is all written. Updated to add fanfic tag because when I picked up the latest Ten Realms I realized that series has had a lot more influence on the setting than I consciously realized. Don't expect military or industrial revolution in xianxia, though.
