There’s this RUN BTS episode where they sit next to each other during that game where they had to throw a dice and then lie or tell the truth about the number Jdjdjd both looked so handsome this whole episode! What stood out to me is how well they can read each other - and also help each other constantly! I remember one scene where JK wanted to object or say he trusts Tae and Tae immediately told him not to aka preventing him from making a mistake 😭😭😭😂 and then of course the infamous game later where JK helped Tae and then it turned out he was on Jimin’s team hejdjdjd Cute! Partners in crime 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Hi anon!

That is such a fun moment!

It’s from this episode:

I’ll join the not-able-to-recover-club… what a moment that was!

tomorrow marks a week since this crazy thing happened and to me it's like jungkook left for Hawaii yesterday 😂😂

Has anyone managed to recover??

And above all, does anyone have any advice on how to overcome this? Because I think I'll stay stuck here forever

If Kim taehyung wants to post more hawaii pics I don't object lol

Well, this came up after I saw your post about certain anons questions and intentions👇

https://x.com/jungkovtae/status/1911456552306749655?s=61&t=vFOxkyd65t281n-w2C1Dig

So you should be ready to asks such as:

"Oh, the guy called JK as Tae’s friend, not boyfriend. Can you show me some pro that they are boyfriends?"

Or,

"I believed in Tk but this guy seems to know Tae and he called JK as his friend. I think that is it and you should stop being TK because this is he proof that they not boyfriends. Can you convince me otherwise?"

OR,

"See, this guy confirms that they are friends not boyfriends stop being delulu (god, I hate this word) now?’"

Or more mental gymnastics that I couldn’t come up with at the moment.

All of them will completely disregard the fact that the signature JK left shows a certain closeness to the guy and this is the 50th "proof" of Tae’s circle is JK’s circle…

So dear Rain, the "proof"which supposed to be something objective and tangible cannot be more subjective and slippery…🙃

I wish you patience and strength for the new questions swarming in your box for asking for "more" proof 🤞

Hi anon!

Haha, I’ve gotten nothing so far 😂. I’m sure some sides are hard at work though. To some even the mention of them being friends is too much 🙈

[dearweirdme]

…. Question… Is Jk the king of smoldering looks?

[dearweirdme]

I enjoy Tkkrs origin stories (I’m going somewhere with this.. I promise 😁). I love hearing about what made them stand out to people and which specific moments it were that made things click. I myself was already very much into BTS when I started feeling Tae and Jk had a bond that was different (more close) than the other members. I had already started watching Run and all sorts of other footage, and when festa 2022 came around I very much went ‘wait.. could they really?’. Ofcourse being in army spaces the name ‘taekook’ was familiar to me, so I started to look up more about them. I kept watching original footage (ITS, BV, interviews, lives, performances) and ultimately I came across blogs that I found very insightful and who would answer asks and had information. It took me quite some months to go from 👀 to jep. I remember clearly going through so so so much footage and their bond just became clearer with everything I watched. It can be hard as a newer fan to go through so much footage, but at the same time to me it felt so easy, because I enjoyed watching so much.

It’s still kinda insane to me that my blog became well visited. I was very new when people started to follow me, and I’ve never (not even now) been the most up to date. I often see my blog as a collab between me and my anons. There are many people around who have better knowledge and who have insights I have not. There are many people around who have lived through more of BTS’s years than I have… though I don’t feel as new as I once did.

Now to my point (I’m feeling quite dramatic.. this is not a goodbye post or anything 😂… sometimes my head is just filled with words that need out). These last weeks.. months.. whatevers.. there have been more and more asks about things I feel are pretty obvious (about how Jk treats Tae for instance). It’s obvious to me, because I have actually watched so much footage that I just know certain things are there. It’s also stuff that I’d imagine would be obvious to everyone who has come to call themselves a tkkr, because I’d guess that they’re also going through their journeys of watching footage. At the same time.. I have a lot of trolls coming to my inbox (kinda always). It’s made it very hard for me to distinguish between asks that are in good faith (from actual newer fans who have found their way to tkk blogs early in their journey) and asks that are from trolls (jkkrs, some solos, anti’s, taennies). I’ve been fluctuating in my responses a bit. At times quick to call some out, and at times too trusting perhaps. I’m being honest here.. I am by nature someone who’s leaning positive and trusting (even after these years of blogging 😂). That’s not going to change. There are also times when, even if I might suspect someone is a troll, I still choose to deal with their ask as if it’s in good faith. I try to consider that for really new tkkrs, they haven’t even come to experience Tae and Jk outside of enlistment. And I try to consider that not everyone likes going through old content.

All this to say. I feel this time is difficult (not when it comes to my thoughts on Tkk.. those haven’t changed much at all) when it comes to fandom shenanigans. I try to keep this blog fun and insightful, but it’s also hard at times with no new stuff to talk about and an influx of trolls.

Alright.. I this was just something that has been on my mind today.. done with the dramatics now 😂. Here’s a tkk pic to make up for it!

[dearweirdme]

Hiiiiii happy Sunday ☺️ pretty new to BTS and Taekook - discovered them beginning of this year and can’t wait for them to come back in June! I read somewhere I think it was on Twitter how Jungkook ever only talks about or compliments Taehyung when it’s regarding his looks and charm etc. so I was wondering are there instances where JK talked about Tae the person? Or Tae the performer? I’m sure there are but researching it kind of mostly gets me threads of him being whipped by Tae’s beauty or saying how handsome he is etc. haha which is relatable 🙂‍↕️

Hi anon, nice to have you around!

Yeah… that’s something that’s very popular to say amongst certain sides of fandom. It’s absolutely not true though. There’s a couple of moments where Jk talks about Tae a bit more lengthy.

And this:

What Jk does though, and what’s so often dismissed and/or overlooked, is that he continuously sprinkles in compliments and knowledge about Tae. It’s often oneliners, which is why they get little attention and why people are often not aware perhaps, but it’s actually a lot… and about a lot of different things. We learned through those that Jk praises Tae for his dancing, his fast learning of choreography, his many talents, his genius in games, etc.

I’m unable to add more screenshots(Tumblr limitations), but when you look at BTS footage you will actually get these compliments and signs of knowledge about Tae from Jk’s side pretty consistently.

I think what’s really telling though, even when they don’t mention these things specifically, is how Jk laughs at Tae’s jokes, how Jk chooses to spend time with him, how proud he looks at Tae when he accomplishes things. I think Tae’s behavior towards Jk also shows that they find safety, comfort, and enjoyment from being around each other. Tae to me is strong and he chooses well whom he surrounds himself with. Jk is the one Tae went to when he was working on Layover. To me, that’s because Tae trusts and appreciates Jk a lot!

Also: if you go through Kayla’s blog @taekooktimeline, you’ll probably come across many many instances.

I am the original anon and want to say that maybe I expressed myself in a bad way. Sorry for that! In now way I wanted to insinuate that JK doesn’t care for or about Taehyung. There are plenty of examples where it’s clear he does. And they are - if not more - bestest of friends with a special bond. And Taehyung and JK know best what they need and get from each other, especially away from the dozens of cameras that are around them when they work. But I was solely trying to understand - mostly for myself - why in that specific instance JK seemed rather indifferent to a clearly very upset Taehyung. Cause I still go back and forth about them being together or not and it’s moments like these that made me wouldn’t that scene look differently if they were together? But I also recognize it’s unfair since I am not an idol who is probably not being able to fully be myself & has to hide certain parts of myself and the true nature of my relationship with one of my band members - in such an observed & image driven environment nonetheless.

Hi anon!

🙈 Sorry for going off like that in my last post. It’s become so hard for me to distinguish between anons actually looking for my opinion and anons who come here in bad faith just trying to poke around.. at times I misjudge a bit.

For me Tae and Jk caring deeply about each other is a given. I never ever question that and it’s the absolute hill I’ll die on. It’s something that stands aside of my thoughts of them being in a relationship. I think we’ve seen that reciprocated care consistently throughout the years, with Jk becoming quite protective of Tae even. So it’s always with that in mind that I judge certain moments.

I think they have arguments. I think they annoy each other at times (more so when they were younger). I think they make fun of each other or make jokes that don’t necessarily land well. But underneath all that is a caring bond.

I do also suspect they’re together. To me these moments don’t debunk that. I think when they’re in BTS mode there’s often editing and self inflicted boundaries at play. At the backstage crying moment you can clearly see a cut, but it’s also possible Jk just let Jm console Tae. If they are indeed closeted, we cannot really expect them to act the way we feel a ‘normal’ couple would.

It’s no news that Jk cries when he sees his members cry. The members themselves have said that countless times so this doesn’t really plead the “Taekook romantic” case. Does Jk care about Tae? Yes 100% and anyone who argues that doesn’t even believe themselves. But let’s not act like there aren’t moments when Jk looked or seemed nonchalant about Tae’s sadness. There are moments like that too and while I don’t think people should start cherry picking those moments and making big deals of them, I don’t think anyone should be acting like they don’t exist either. They do exist so maybe we should just accept that while we all know that Jk cares about Tae and hurts when he hurts, there are moments when he doesn’t seem to care that much and that is ok. That is human, we are not always going to have the same reactions everytime. Bringing up a moment when Jk comforted Tae when he was sad everytime someone brings up a moment he didn’t, doesn’t cancel the fact that he didn’t. Instead of trying to make excuses for it or act like people are seeing things that aren’t there, we can just admit that they are humans who have on and off days.

Hi anon!

I truly (!) wish people were able to differentiate between moments. You are misrepresenting my former post btw, I don’t really appreciate that.

I’ve never acted as if everything has been perfect between them. I think they hurt each other at times. They are indeed human and they do not exempt each other from the more harsh emotions like anger, hurt, annoyance etc (though I also don’t feel this is something that we saw often). But that’s not what this conversation is really about.

Because rarely do I see talk about the actual moments of hurt and anger between them. It’s always these childish takes on perceived annoyance or indifference from Jk’s side. It’s fans looking for drama or looking to poke at fandom, but it’s not actual serious instances. It’s fans trying to push Jk into the ‘bad guy’ role and Tae into the ‘victim’ role. I’m so sick of it, because it doesn’t come from a place of care, but rather from a place of ownership and just wanting to be right.

You think my response to that ask was me trying to make excuses, well.. I think that ask was uncalled for. I think it’s poor judgement if by that moment you question Jk’s care for Tae. Sure we see all kinds of emotions from them, not all of them might directly fit the romance idea. That’s why we look at the bigger picture though. When we look at the bigger picture we see a Jk who consistently cares for Tae. Who actively takes measures to make sure Tae is physically okay. Who keeps a close eye on Tae when he seems off. Who keeps Tae close when Tae seems to be having a hard time. We see a Tae who adores Jk. Who tells us ‘he does what I ask him’. So what if, as fans, some moments seem strange to us?

Oh what grandma Tae speech and JK crying are you guys talking about? ❤️

Hi anon!

It was this speech:

This was Jk:

[dearweirdme]

I think the anon is talking about backstage, Taehyung came backstage still or again crying, absolutely crushed and the members looked surprised as if he hasn’t given a whole emotional speech prior haha and Jimin is really sweet with Tae here. I get anon being confused as to why JK isn’t really looking at Tae or doesn’t seem to do anything but I also think we see two interesting cuts: Tae enters the room and we see the members - cut - he stands next to JK & gets pulled into jimins arms - cut - it looks like JK is reaching out to put his hand through Tae’s hair but mid movement ofc: cut! I also think it’s important to consider that it’s in the nature of the closer that they often publicly need to or think they need to hold back a little in some cases etc

Hi anon!

Yeah, I know what anon was talking about. I just feel that when we literally saw Jk cry heavy tears during Tae’s speech you cannot even talk about him being indifferent even when a couple of moments later it seems that way. He was clearly affected. When they do speeches like this and getting emotional, a member interfering might actually make it harder to finish the speech. I think Jk probably recognized (like all members btw) that this was something Tae had to get out and that he was in control.

Also, it’s very likely this wasn’t the first time (or even the second) that Jk (and the others) saw Tae cry about this.

To me things like this just really feel like scrutinizing them to death when we know that in general they’re so close and comforting to each other.

Agree on the cuts.

[dearweirdme]

The video of Taehyung crying cause of his grandma on stage but also then off stage in front of the members. Jungkook seems rather indifferent - on the surface at least - idk maybe they edited the footage once again? Cause why wouldn’t he want to be the one consoling him?

Hi anon!

Jk had tears dripping from his face when Tae held that speech. There’s no indifference from Jk’s side. I’d go as far as to say there’s never been indifference from Jk’s side.

Jk probably knows Tae wanted to get that story out. It’s called giving space. A situation in which Tae was also crying, but looking for comfort, was this one:

I strongly feel people should let go of the ‘Jk indifference’ idea, because that’s just not true and if you have actually followed or looked up Jk and Tae’s bond you would know that. Perhaps there are instances that seem confusing to you personally, but why don’t you take into consideration everything you know about them when thinking about these things? Why do some always lean to the more negative explanation?
