Chapter 9: This was such an emotional part 3 compared to the other two. It's nice to see that Kris is flawed a little bit. It's understandable that stress and other factors can be why relationships changes. A part of me wishes that they didn't end up back together because I feel like with so many years apart after a really ugly break up, it's hard to get back together. And if I was tao, I would feel so regretful and filled with selfhate that I would turn Kris down because I wouldn't wanna hurt him anymore. Idk, maybe it's just me who doesn't believe in hope. But it's still cute and nice to see them together in the end in Jeju.

Chapter 9: I've finish reading this like 2 days ago and I wanted to comment then but I held myself back since I didn't wanna be negative but I seriously couldn't get this fic out of my mind even when I'm reading other Taoris fic so I finally decided to post just so I could move on. I'm that type of person, I couldn't move on unless I'll be honest & let all my feelings out. First of all though, I just wanna say author-nim that you did a great job in writing the story. I genuinely think you wrote it well. This was my least favorite out of the trilogy only because of my personal preference and opinion. It have nothing to do with your writing. I hope I won't offend you at all.

The truth is I kinda regret finding out that there is a Part 3 & reading it. Maybe there is a reason I never knew about it before despite following Part 1 & 2 closely. My image of Kris character is shattered in here. I love his character in Part 1 & 2 and thought he is a perfect boyfriend but reading how he is in Part 3 broke my heart & made me so pissed & mad at him. Personally there's 5 things I hate most in a boyfriend & Kris did 4 out of those 5 in here. The only thing he didn't do in those 5 is cheating. 1st, he lied before too but Tao forgave him & I was okay with that. 2nd, he always do things his way without asking what Tao wants. He always thinks he is doing what's right & what's best. 3rd, he didn't trust Tao, he didn't let him explain & he choose his pride over him. 4th, he run away. And this is the one thing I hated the most in a person in this world even more than cheating & lying. Just running away and leaving the other person hanging without proper closure.

To top it all off he did the same thing before. He also got close & stay friends to Luhan & Nana even when he knows they like him. He also did not tell it to Tao then which almost break them up. He thought it was okay for him to do that but he didn't think it was okay for Tao? That was selfish in my opinion. Also Tao listened to his explanation then but he never listened to Tao at all & just ran away. What made me more mad is their friends reactions. When it was Tao who is angry because he thought he saw Kris & Luhan kissing on their bed, they all help Kris & forced Tao to sit down & listen to Kris explanation but why didn't they do the same for Tao?! It bugs my mind. Okay fine let's say Kris do not want to listen but why couldn't they have help Tao come at Baek & Chanyeol place & forced the 2 to talk like they did before. Or atleast inform Tao that Kris is leaving the country before he actually left so he could have run after him & try to talk one last time. But no they didn't do any of that. I can't believe they didn't even trust Tao & judge him immediately. I can't help but feel that they are more friends to Kris than they ever was to Tao. Even in the last chapter, Kris knows Tao will be there & that they'll be on same room while they left Tao in the dark again. It almost as if they decided to help them now 2 years later because Kris wanted it (again!) when they didn't do it for Tao before. During Part 1, I feel the same too that everyone is worried & thinking first about Luhan's feelings & no one told him to stop even when he is hurting Tao's feeling already. Just like how they all put Kris feelings before Tao's feelings AGAIN!!

Also how come Tao have to always ask Kris permission before he do something or go somewhere but Kris never ask Tao's permission. He just do what he wants even if Tao don't want too. It's an imbalanced relationship. And it bugs my mind that their friends always criticize Tao in the relationship but never Kris when I thought Kris is just as much or even more at fault. To be honest by the end of the story I ended up wishing that Tao moved on, find a better guy, got married & is happy with his life. It might seem that I'm siding so much with Tao but it's only because I never thought what he did was wrong in the first place. He NEVER cheated. He rejected Ena & was just friends. I see nothing wrong about that at all. I have a guy friend who likes me & confess & I rejected him but we are still friends. So what? It's just friendship. That is NOT cheating. Kris in the story did the same too.

Even though I was happy that they made up. I can't help but think now that Tao loves Kris more than Kris loves Tao. Tao couldn't move on at all while Kris freely dated. Also Kris choose his pride over Tao. He knows he was irrational when he walk out & yet he put his pride above anything else & refuse to talk, call, or even text back Tao after he calmed down. If you truly love a person you'll eat your pride for them. Even to the very end it was Tao who ate his pride first (not Kris) & just let out his feelings to Kris. And in the last chapter I was so hurt because it seems me that Kris never really realized or felt that he was just as much at fault as Tao that this happened to them. Tao kept blaming himself & asking another chance but I was waiting for Kris to say to Tao to not blame himself anymore because he is at fault too for leaving Tao, for running away without closure, for not listening, for hurting him etc.

By the end I kept questioning myself if Kris truly love Tao or he just love the idea of having a family & future with him because his own family was a mess. He seem so focus on that rather than Tao & his feelings. He was so focus on building that beach house ASAP that he neglected & leave Tao behind. Like Tao still have 3 years before he graduate anyway so no need to rush. He could have taken a normal job & stay with Tao & will still be able to earn money for it in 2 years & start building afterwards. I don't see why he have to buy it in 6 months. Buying material things don't equate to love. Tao kept telling him over & over again that he only wants Kris beside him & to be with him but he never listens at all.

Ironic enough when Part 2 ended, I truly believe they could be happy forever & is perfect for each other but at the end of Part 3, I don't feel the same anymore even with that Epilogue. Maybe because the fic ended so abruptly. Like they just reconcile & then it's immediately the epilogue. We never get to see how they are as a couple now after 2 years of separation (did they're attitude & personality change?) for us to believe that they really won't fight & break up this time. I'm also sad that we never got to see their wedding which is a major plot & have been on anticipation since Part 2. Like that wedding is one of the main reason Kris left to Canada & is one of the driving force of the Part 3 story that I wish we get to see them achieve that dream. It would have been great to see Tao's parents again when they attend their wedding and know how they are doing. Same goes for Kris parents. And their friends attending the wedding etc.

OMG i am so sorry!! I just kept typing that I never realized I wrote such a long essay already. LOL This is how good you are author-nim that you made me so attach & emotional towards the story. Anyway now that I let this all out, I can finally move on & actually review since I have a long quiz tomorrow & I couldn't concentrate in reviewing at all before that I have to come here & comment. Maybe after I could re-read Part 2 again if I have time so I'll learn to love Kris character again & root for this pairing again & forget this ever happened to them. I'll consider their trip to Tao's parents as the ending and them getting married & having their happily ever after as the epilogue. ❤️

I have read the Part 1 (HunHan) and the Part 2 (TaoRis) before back on 2012-2013. I was following it and reading as you update but how is it that I never knew that there is a Part 3?! After almost 5 years I am now just finding out that there is a Part 3 of this story. OMG!! If I never decided to come back and reread past Taoris stories I would have never found out. Oh well I guess better late than never. But I am now torn whether to read it or not since I hate angst esp. since I was already invested to this couple because of their sweet & fluffy story in Part 1 & Part 2. Ughh.... But I wanna find out what happened to them so I guess I'll still read it. Here I go... I'll read it in one go.
