Hi! First off, I love your work and I’m glad to see you back! Second off, I have been trying to find a fic for the longest time and I thought you were the author, but I’m now thinking I’m wrong. It was a fic where you’re an alpha, Jungkook is an omega. It has Jimin as a beta with Sana as his mate. Basically something about you running for office and Jungkook and you fall in love? Again if you have any idea what I’m talking about or if someone else does I’d be really grateful! I think I’m going crazy at this point 😅. Again, any help would be great!
Thank you anon! And I absolutely know which fic you’re talking about!
That’s Pretty Wolf by @readyplayerhobi
I am first and foremost a voracious reader. That was an excellent fic so it only took me a second of thinking to find it rattling around in my brain.
My exposure to the Internet when I was younger was limited to watching albinoblacksheep (original memes lol), those sites with online games and trying to find the days relevant vpn url to play the helicopter game or trying to get a Googlewhack in high school 😂 MySpace was at the end of my high school life and it was mostly just picking cool music and blinging out your page 😂 those were the good days
LOL! yeah, i was most definitely online reading fanfiction 🤣 myspace was around for me too, but i never bothered to have one. i think i started with fb and barely used that! 🤣 i didn’t even bother to have an instagram when i was in college because i didn’t see the point, though maybe that turned out well for me LOL
Please ship meeeee. I mean you know me but, 5'8, likes to talk a lot of stupid things tbh, loves learning and gaming, a very inquisitive and open mind! 😁
It’s like this guy was made for you! I ship you with…
Dig Deep - Hoseok
Profile: certified genius, master of all sciences, licensed medic to an ever-growing catalogue of species, psychiatrist too!, always learning, always analysing, his pursuit of knowledge knows few boundaries, extremely excitable, animated, despite his ridiculous IQ he is the least in touch with his sensibilities, basically a robot, he needs to be trained to love, will show it in quirky ways few would appreciate, but the effort is there, wants to probe your dark spaces in the name of science, (he says), makes strange noises while working, loves to involve you, if you don’t want to be dissected that’s okay he can think of something else, smiley, gentle, and level-headed.
Star sign: Cleonide
Hobbies/interests: autopsies, biopsies, cataloguing specimens, casually making significant scientific discoveries, learning the biology of other species, Earth cats
Ideal vacation: The annual Breakthroughs in Biological Science Convention hosted in the capital Iluoli city, Madera.
Why you’re a match: You’re the only person I can imagine having the patience to endure Iluoli Hoseok initially. He’s green af when it comes to romance. Love cannot be measured quantitatively and therefore is of no interest to him. It’s an unsupported theory at best and a fairytale at worst.
But. It’s you, Tali, so persevere. Endure his constant appeals to dissect, probe, and medically experiment on you and you will come out the other side besotted.
Because despite his unusual bedside manner, this alien medic has a heart of gold and an innocent, inquisitive nature that charms you. You’ll find no better partner with which to trade curious facts. Though he might not take his eyes off his work in the entire 5 hours you spend in his lab, you can rest assured he will listen keenly to your questions and delight in answering. Once he’s done, he might look up and be like, ‘oh! You were here all along? Excellent!’ because he’s incapable of retaining non-essential information for longer than 5 seconds. But! The happy grin he gives you will make up for it!
Together you inhabit an eccentric bubble that outsiders can’t breach. If passerbys were to catch your conversation, they’d be bamboozled. You’ll probably end up developing your own method of communication tbh. But it doesn’t take a genius to see that Hoseok is happier with you. Less empirical and more… conceptual. 💖
If you can tolerate his initial insensitivity and blinkered work ethic, you’ll get your hard-won reward in a romantic partner that always tries his damnedest to understand your needs. He will also come to understand himself this way. There’s a journey of discovery awaiting both of you. And for once, it doesn’t involve dissection.
I’m no longer accepting submissions for the shipping game - I’m posting matches for those that submitted before the deadline. Thank you for your understanding!

Do you do tag lists?
No, sorry
Do you take requests?
Again, no, sorry! :(
Will you read/recommend my story?
You can send it but I can’t guarantee I’ll read! I only recommend stories that I enjoy reading :)
Can I ask you when an update will be? Or for a sequel?
No sorry, I delete any asks asking for an update or a sequel. I’ve said before that I don’t answer these because it just means people continually ask! Sorry!
Why do you only accept direct messages from blogs you follow?
I’m sorry! I’m not very good at socialising and it made me very anxious to have people messaging all the time. It also opened the way for abuse so it was more for my own comfort <3
Will you post a selfie?
Nope, sorry
Do you post the updates you make?
I say yes, but I always forget so no for now!
Why do you always promise to write something and then it never happens?
Sorry :( I can only write what I feel inspired by! Sometimes I get a spur of inspiration for something but then it goes away. It’s harder for me to write nowadays and I often have to cajole myself into doing it. So I can only apologise!
Why don’t you update more?
I work a full time job which means I’m out of the house from 7:40 until around 4:30pm. I write in my free time, which also means I have to use that time to do things for myself as well. I don’t have the inspiration of incling to write as much anymore either, so I try and do what I can!
Can I repost/translate?
Sorry but no! I don’t allow my work to be reposted anywhere except for here and on my own ao3. My ao3 is the same as my tumbler username!
also tali oh my god I can’t believe you I’m wheezing,,,,, just the entire thought process of ‘Wait is Solar’s inbox actually full?’ And then fully testing it omg I’m creasing
god, this fic, it’s so- there aren’t even words to describe it. it’s the perfect blend between slow burn romance and horror, my two FAVORITE genres. it really did it for me, and the way jungkook was so perfectly written to match the readers taste all while going through a zombie apocalypse? it doesn’t get any better! that fic really holds a place in my heart, and i’ve fallen in love with it over and over since I read it! I highly recommend!
i kinda just have a feeling that if the accident never happened maybe Hoseok would have tried to get her back idk maybe
ooooooohh...honestly, I’ve thought about it.
When I was considering adding memory loss or not to the story, I played with a fuck ton of ideas and outcomes. Had Hoseok not gotten into his accident...what would’ve happened? If he happens to regain his memories, what would happen then?
I think....if Hoseok never got into his accident....they wouldn’t have gotten back together. Just because younger Hoseok is a person of too much pride and once he makes a decision, he doesn’t usually go back on it. As hard as it would be, he’d force himself to move on and eventually, he’d be able to. It’s not fair for him to show up out of the blue and apologize and ‘take oc back’, you know? like he broke this girl’s heart, he’s not gonna come trotting back to their hometown and be like ‘im soooooryyyy let’s get back together :D’. Like no.
Years would pass, maybe they’d run into each other....but I highly doubt Hoseok would hire oc to be an HR manager in his firm. Much less, I doubt that oc would even drop her application - just cause she’s seen him around and she realizes the damage has been done too much beyond any kind of repair. She could never work for him. Had Hoseok remembered, his presence would’ve still linger in her life from their friends, in their hometown, etc. When he forgot, he kind of disappeared from everything...so yeah....it allowed oc to breathe better.
In a way, because of Hoseok’s accident, it offers a truly clean slate. It allowed oc to work at his firm, to kind of get used to him again, to kind of grow alongside each other without any emotional baggage....for them to kind of be friends again.
Let’s just say if he regained his memories from back then, I don’t think it would be a good thing.
readyplayerhobi said: I fully get the MC's pain at the breakup, and the fact she remembers. But I gotta ask...why does everyone seem to delegitimise Hoseok's feelings in regards to not remembering?? Its almost like no one is letting him be upset because 'she was more upset 8 years ago'. But like, how terrifying and lonely it must feel to have a huge chunk of time GONE, with someone you loved and no one will let you feel upset or panicked because of one of the things you can't remember.
readyplayerhobi said: And it actually annoys me more because everyone else is fully aware of what happened and they all LET him flounder, even though it was so obvious he was developing feelings again. Why did everyone think that was fine and not maybe...warn him to avoid mistakes he can't remember? And if he cant remember her and them, what if he cant remember other stuff? I'm only this invested because the stories and characters are so good. I hope you continue to enjoy writing 😭😭 Jungle Park 4 lyfe ❤❤❤
asdfghjkl i love you. okay now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, hmmm. You’re definitely right. Hoseok’s in as much pain as oc is and he’s suuuper confused -and it’s not his fucking fault that he doesn’t remember lol what’s he supposed to do????? drink a magic potion to remember again??? wtf.
but then again, I think they do sympathize with his situation....to a certain extent. Definitely Sowon sits him down and talks to him more gently than she actually usually does (she’s the type to slam the door in his face). And his pain is the reason why oc even offers him another chance. had he remembered...she would’ve told him to get the fuck out of here lol
Sadly enough, Hoseok lives a pretty isolating life. He really doesn’t have anyone that understands the situation enough and would coddle/comfort him. Except for OC really, who does tell him that it’s okay.
I definitely thought about it though. If you don’t remember what you did, are you still culpable for your crimes? I think yes. In more extreme circumstances, if a serial killer had a stroke and lost all their memories...is they still responsible for killing all those people? Yes. In less extreme terms, if as a kid you ran over the old lady neighbour’s toes with your tricycle and as an adult you no longer remember....is it still your fault? I’d say yes...cause it did happen....it’s not like it didn’t.....but people would be more forgiving considering you don’t remember.
I think just cause Hoseok doesn’t remember, it doesn’t mean he’s out of the clear. At the end of the day, oc still remembers what he did and what their relationship was like. But I also think it hurts more for her that he doesn’t remember rather than the fact that he hurt her...
ALSO they DEFINITELY let him flounder HAHAHHA the only people who remember well are oc, his family, and their friends. Well....OC had reason to not tell him and she was definitely noooot aware that he was developing feelings (she’s more worried that she’s developing feelings again). They weren’t even in contact with their old friends. And as for his family loooool tbh, they want them to get back together so they stepped back and let the fire burn.
Amazing characterisation and well thought out stories. DNA is such a strange topic when you think about it, yet you make it seem to natural because it's just a natural part of that world and the characters feel alive and nuanced. I know Void is ridiculously well thought out and characterised while Euphoria was just a kick in the feely gonads with outstanding feeling and emotion written into every word!
😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone whose world building and characterizations I always admire! 💜
