    YESS i read it in Russian right after chapter 5! literally i was like 👀 i can't wait and saw this was your translation of your original work and worked with google translate to try and see if i could somehow quench my desires because i couldn't stop reading 💖

    i thought the amount of thought and detail you put into your work was absolutely amazing and i finished your russian work in one sitting and just have to say that i hope they can live happy as zhenya and taekjoo in seoul 🤣 as happy as those two morons can be. the idea of them reconnecting in seoul lives in my head and i logged into that to tell you directly.

    your writing is so beautiful i actually started on your other story you have on them, even though google translate isn't the most accurate i wanted you to know despite that your words translate to beautifully and eloquently 💖 i hope you continue to write more of these two i feel like you are the best writer to capture their personalities perfectly and the love/desire they have for one another.

      YOU READ TWO OF MY FICS??? 😭😭
      Please - give me a moment to scream into a pillow...

      I’m seriously blown away that you made it through the Russian versions. Especially knowing how cursed Google Translate can be with grammar, idioms and vibe (I literally use AI to fix my own English when I hit a wall). You’re a crazy in the best possible way - honestly same. When I want something bad enough I go full goblin mode)))

      But YES. I promise I will translate "All Inclusive" ("Всё включено") if only for that Barcelona scene (you know which one I mean 😏). Please wait for full translation "To the Rev Limit" and for the interrogation scene with Zhenya in cuffs💦. I’ll make it as filthy and delicious as it deserves to be.

      Your comment genuinely made my night(and whole week)!
      I started this translation project one evening thinking: “Hmmm there’s nothing like this in the fandom. Maybe I should do it myself?”
      And I’m trying to keep the core vibe alive:
      - Zhenya is a Russian bad boy with car oil on his hands and a little bit dirty in criminal shit. He falling in love but can't express it clearly;
      - Taekjoo the dangerously-pretty exchange student with a dominance kink and too many demons inside his head.

      Of course they’ll be okay💗 I actually have notes for a follow-up - soft chaos and romantic idiocy in Seoul - but I probably won’t finish it until after New Year’s. (Sorry if that’s a mean tease - I swear the new idea I’m working on is eating me alive and I hope to share it soon)

      Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading❤️ I’m genuinely so moved that you took the time to write all of this.
      See you in the comments of chapter 8 maybe? 🫣❤️

        YESS! i read both your stories. i was praying google translate to be on my side, and thankfully it translated enough for me to understand and enjoy. 💖 but of course i can say that i cannot wait for your translated works. the way you write transcends any language barriers. i can't wait for more of your works. 🥺 it's actually inspiring to maybe write again because i seriously cannot get over the way you write and portray their characters, it just feels so genuine to the novel.

        when i finished the russian version of this, i was low-key that's IT 👀 but it was definitely something taekjoo would do lmao so i was like of course. but i am just happy to know zhenya does end up going to seoul even if i have to wait to see it. 💖 i hope he can meet mama kwon and she can feed that man lots of good food since he needs it.

        you'll definitely see me commenting more in the future. when i did see the get updated the other day when checking the tags i was screaming internally. LOL so i can't wait for the cuff scene myself. i love when taekjoo takes control. 💖

        i just want to keep commenting so you know that people are reading and enjoying your work!! keep it going. i will be sitting here waiting.

          (Author is currently rolling on the floor and clutching phone in pure wave of happiness)

          But seriously - I still have NO idea how you managed to get through to the absolute minefield Russian idioms, layered meanings, that completely insane "adidas snd mescaline" full of trash Russian rap, Zhenya's high and swearing that’s borderline untranslatable into English… (I swear I broke my brain trying to adapt that lol)

          No joke - even on the Russian version of AO3 (ficbook) I’ve never received such an in-depth, heartfelt feedback to my works 😭😭😭
          I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I promise not to let you down! I’ll start uploading Zhenya and Taekjoo romantic-idiotic adventures in Seoul to AO3 at first.
          (Though it won’t just be Seoul - we’ve got a few scenes still missing from Russia. Zhenya hasn’t flipping enough cars yet and he still hasn’t taken Taekjoo to a true Russian banya.
          And let be clear - it would be a sin not to write about drifting in the Bimmer-princess E60)

          Please stay tuned for more of their adventures🙏
          (Author is sending you approximately a thousand kisses!!! I am absolutely dead from love and seriously considering printing your comments and hanging them over my desk to get through the hard days)
