    Summary

    For twelve participants, six girls and six boys, the Selection is the opportunity of a lifetime. It's the possibility of escaping from a destiny that has been traced to them since birth, of getting lost in a luxurious world, full of suits, long dresses and sparkling jewels, of living in the majestic royal palace, and especially, of competing for the Euphoréa prince's heart, Kim Taehyung.

    However, for Jeon Jeongguk, a simple boy from caste Seven, being one of the selected is a nightmare. He didn't even know he could be chosen in the first place. He will have to turn his back on his family and leave his job as a florist, all to enter a competition he doesn't like, to fight for a crown he doesn't want, and to seduce a prince he doesn't even know.

    Jeongguk hates the Selection and is not looking forward to experiencing this contest at all. He just wants to be sent home as soon as possible. The question is... Does the prince want the same?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    READ 2X, read 3x july 26

    based on the The Selection book series
    Tae is the prince and Jungkook is from the lowest cast
    they meet through a contest to find tae's future partner
    betrayal, pain,, many hurdles and insecurities later they find their happy end or maybe better the beginning of it.

    I love how different Jungkook is from the rest
    and how it's shown that love cannot solve everything but it's still so strong
    It can be a reason to fight for better things, a reason to hope.

    Even the back and fort was enjoyable haha
    Their fights only making them fall in love more as Taehyung tells Jungkook toward the end.

    “So, how do you explain the fact that a boy with no money, no contacts, and no power can put this country on the brink of something we've been trying to achieve for years? How?"

    One of my favourite lines

    Jungkook reminded me that it's good to be yourself
    and to stay true to yourself.

    You make a difference

    taekook au (long)
    pretend relationship

    taehyung is an (ex) chaebol turned idol who is gay
    reason he left his family cause his father couldn't accept both and started his life from scratch

    jungkook is an F1 racer who is breaking records but has a bad reputation: scandalous one night stands, clubs and lots of alcohol (he later realises he is addicted)

    they both hate each other because of a stupid misunderstanding.

    to help jk's career and for tae to keep his promise towards his sick halmeoni they start a PR pretend relationship. courtesy to their managers.

    they fight and bicker during the first few months A LOT.
    but still the show must go on and they plan dates and outings.
    the nation and internet loves them.

    slowly but surely they unravel each other in unexpected ways and fall for each other.

    the deep realisation comes during the Italy trip when tae's entire family comes to support and cheer on jungkook for a race. that the pretending is not pretend anymore. and it leads to tae kissing jungkook after his win.

    and finally jungkook confesses.

    from there on they enter a honeymoon phase filled with love and steamy sex.

    but jungkook's addiction keeps looming eventhough he was dry for a while. because the stress keeps piling up while his father and ex racer continues to pressure him to deliver almost making him lose the joy for racing.

    so he falls back into drinking. and does sth even worse: he hides it from taehyung. who is equally stressed because his halmeoni's health is bad now. and he has a lot to do with his skyrocketing career.

    the big fallout comes after tae comes back from overseas promo and finds jk completely drunk, his halmeoni taking her last breaths at the same moment that they break up with eo.

    jungkook knows he needs help. he goes to rehab and tae disappears from the screen to process his two biggest losses of his life.

    finally they meet again in singapore and rekindle. like in a kdrama jungkook rushes to the airport to confess his still burning love to tae - tae who only hesitated afraid of standing in the way of jk's career. they kiss and makeup and tae's family witnesses and they're finally together again.

    with sweet epilogue

    bangtan side characters, minji and taeho (older brother of tae and his wife) plus their child chanhee. tae's parents and halmeoni

    hobi is jk's trainer, namjoon his manager
    yoongi is a producer at tae's label, jin his manager.
    jimin is best friends with jk and tae and tried to make them not hate eo for years and yoonig and him are boyfriends

    Summary

    “So who’s the parent?” Taehyung asks the moment the car begins to pull out onto the street.

    Namjoon glances once, returning his eyes onto the road. “He’s one of Yoongi and I’s closest and most important friends. His name is Jeongguk.”

    “Jeongguk, okay, great. Also, I just wanted to apologize for how I acted yesterday. It was impulsive and rather rude, I hope you’ll accept my apology. I really didn’t mean to intervene, I just couldn’t help but feel a sudden empathy for your situation and-”

    Namjoon brushes him off quickly. “You’re all good, I’m actually glad you did or we wouldn’t even be able to have Jeongguk in the ring tonight.”

    “R-Ring?”

    OR; After meddling with the richest guests, Taehyung finds himself babysitting for an unusual parent by the name of Jeon Jeongguk.
