“Hello. This is Jungkook,” he said into the camera.

He turned over to me and I rushed from the corner of my room where I was setting my stuff down, practically jumping into the camera frame.

“And, I’m Y/n,” I exclaimed happily, making Jungkook chuckle.

We were about to head over to Budapest, Hungary, to film a music video for Jungkook’s title track, Standing Next to You. He thought it would be a great time to film some of the process, so… that’s what we’re doing.

I was initially hesitant to film with him when he asked because I wanted it to be all about him and not just a travel vlog among friends, but after the constant pleas and countless puppy dog eyes, I finally agreed to feature.

After my introduction to the camera I went back to sift through my stuff to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything while Jungkook explained what he was making and why he was making it.

Everything was accounted for on my end so I took out my phone and went to sit on the couch while I waited.

“There’s so many things I need to pack! We have an hour before we leave,” he panicked as he started darting around his apartment to gather things to pack into his luggage.

I looked up from my phone, “Kook, this trip has been on your schedule for weeks and I literally reminded you to pack yesterday. What did you do?”

He paused folding a shirt to look at me. “Went live with ARMY,” he said, pulling his lips down into a “frown” like he usually does when he's guilty of something.

I laughed at his silliness, knowing that he didn’t really feel guilty when it came to not doing something because he went live for his fans.

“That was your fault so I’m not gonna help you pack.”

I went back to scrolling through my phone.

He was back to running around his apartment by the time I checked the time and started to gather my bags before calling out, “Hurry up, you have five minutes!”

I placed my bags near the door, then walked over to his desk, grabbing the tripod and moving it to the table near the door.

He rushed out with his bags, placing them next to mine before running back to his room and emerging with a jean jacket in hand.

He came to stand next to me and spoke to the camera while fixing his jacket, “Alright, let’s head out! Let’s go!”

“Now boarding for Budapest,” a man said over the PA system.

Jungkook and I gathered our things and headed for the flight attendant’s desk so we could get our tickets verified. When we were given the “all clear” we started for the airplane.

We got on the plane and looked for our seats right away since the managers said they would take care of storing our carry-ons.

“Here we go,” I said as I found our seats.

I shuffled over to the window seat that was located on the left side of the airplane.

I smiled as I looked out at the runway until I heard the sound of lip smacking followed closely with a whine, “Why do you get the window seat?”

I looked over at Jungkook, “Because I got here first.”

He looked like he didn’t like my answer and brought out his ticket and pointed to the number.

“See I’m technically supposed to have the window, “ he said matter-of-factly.

I deadpanned, “Are you seriously using technicalities to get the window seat?”

He nodded.

I sighed, “Fine, but you owe me. Got it?”

He smiled and gave me a little salute. I motioned for him to stand up and get out of the row so we could exchange seats. When we finally sat down, he looked out the window and giggled happily. A smile crept onto my face as I softly scoffed at his reaction.

He turned back to me with a grin, “Thank you!”

I playfully rolled my eyes and dug around my bag, looking for a little go pro Jungkook gave me for the trip.

I turned it on once I found it and made sure it was recording, then I turned it over to him, “Do you have anything to say?”

He looked at the camera, then at me, then back at the camera before saying, “The view from the window seat is amazing!”

I scoffed as I punched his arm, to which he laughed at and held where I hit him.

I positioned the camera so we were both in frame.

“Yeah, the window seat that you stole from me,” I exclaimed.

We slowly looked at each other. We made eye contact for a moment before we burst out into laughter.

“I get the window seat on the way back, okay?” I held out my pinky to him.

He linked his pinky with mine, “Promise.”

I turned off the camera as the flight attendants started to go through the standard procedures if anything were to happen during the flight.

A few moments after they were done, the seatbelt light was turned on and the plane started to move toward the end of the runway, preparing to take off.

Although I had been on countless plane rides because of my job, the moments before take-off never failed to make me a little nervous. I was lost in thought until I felt a finger poke my arm.

I turned to Jungkook, “Hm?”

“I asked if you were okay.”

“Oh! Yeah I’m fine,” I said.

He squinted his eyes at me.

“You’re nervous, aren’t you?”

Confusion creeped onto my face. “How’d you know that?”

“Because you always fiddle with your bottom lip when you’re nervous,” he said as he pointed to my hand that was currently playing with said bottom lip.

I immediately took my hand away, letting it fall on my lap.

“Here,” he said, holding his right hand out for me to take.

“Thanks, Kook,” I said as I placed my hand in his.

As the plane started to take off, I turned his hand over so the tattoos faced me and started to gently trace over his ARMY tattoo in order to calm myself down.

“Anytime Y/n/n, “ he whispered.

“Y/n,” Jungkook drawed out, “Come with me to the gym.”

He was tugging on my arm, trying to get me off my bed and out of the hotel room.

“No,” I whined. “Why can’t you just go by yourself? I wanna laze around before tomorrow.”

“Because I need someone to record me,” he whined back, tugging harder.

“Dude, just bring your tripod! You don’t need me!”

I tugged my arm back and rolled over on the bed trying to get away from him. I didn’t do a very good job because he rounded the bed and met me at the other end. I stared up at him, unimpressed.

“Because I want to have someone to talk to,” he said, grabbing my hands and tugging me to sit up.

“Please,” he said, giving me his puppy dog eyes.

I narrowed my eyes for a moment before I turned away and sighed. “Fine.”

I got up from bed and made my way to the door where our shoes were. I slipped on my shoes while Jungkook held the door open. He handed me the camera when we stepped out of the room.

“You’ve gotta stop using your puppy dog eyes to get me to do things.” He laughed, “Well if it works, why would I stop?” I sighed. “You’re right…”

To say that I was bored is an understatement. Jungkook had been on the elliptical for about 45 minutes and I wanted nothing more than to go back to my room.

I stood up, grabbed the camera that was sitting next to me and walked over to where Jungkook was.

I held the camera up to record him.

“I’m tired,” he said breathlessly.

“And I’m bored. How much longer are you going to work out for,” I said, moving my head to the side away from the camera so he could see me.

“Gimme a sec.” He clicked some buttons on the elliptical before slowing down and hopping off.

He grabbed a towel and sat on the ground. I watched as he closed his eyes and sank down to lay on the floor. I smiled as I rolled my eyes at his overreaction and stood on top of him with the camera.

“Don’t overdo your workout… Or else you’ll be in trouble… Okay?”

I moved the camera very close to his face, almost bumping his nose. He opened his eyes and moved the camera to the side while a smile made its way on his face.

I laughed and stepped over him as he started to roll over to get up.

“Come on Muscle Bunny, you gotta get some rest before your shoot tomorrow.”

He looked up at me as I extended my hand to help him up.

“Okay,” he said as he took my hand.

“And go take a shower. You’re super sweaty,” I said, taking my hand back and drying it on my pants.

A smirk made its way on his lips before he lunged himself at me, wrapping me in his arms. I scrunched my face, trying to push him away from me before any more of his sweat could get on me.

“Stop! You’re hot and sweaty!”

“Yeah, but you still love me!”

“Who wakes up this early,” I yawned.

We arrived at the set of the Standing Next to You music video and were now in the hair and make-up trailer. I held up the camera to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t doze off. I looked at Jungkook who looked like he was dozing off too.

“Apparently not you. You still look half asleep,” I told him. He sleepily chuckled at my statement.

It didn’t take as long as I thought for make-up to be done, so when Jungkook changed into his first outfit, we were ready to head out. This was the first location that we would be shooting in, the tunnel, as I like to call it.

We were coming up to where the crew and other dancers were currently at when Jungkook turned to look at me.

“Are you recording?”

I nodded.

“Okay, watch this,” he said before he happily skipped away. I laughed at his silliness.

When we got to where the crew was, the director started telling Jungkook will be doing. Just walk forward.

“All I have to do is walk through it? What more is there to life,"he wondered.

“Life is about moving forward,” I said.

“Life is about moving forward,” he repeated, giving my hand that was holding the camera a little fist bump.

He started to record and it was really cool to watch the monitor versus just watching him perform regularly. Not saying that he wasn’t cool regardless if he was on camera or not, but you get what I mean.

The day went by smoothly. He completed filming for the regular music video then changed outfits for the choreography version. It was safe to say that he was tired by the end of the day.

We shot at two other locations over the next few days. The second location was mainly for the big dance break and some other non-dance scenes.

And that leads us to today. I wasn’t even sure what to call this place when I first stepped foot in the building. Turns out that it’s an abandoned power station.

Huh, cool.

I was sitting in one of the chairs scrolling through my phone just waiting for Jungkook to get back from wardrobe because he said had a “surprise” for me.

I couldn’t have been waiting for more than 5 minutes before I heard my name being called.

I looked in that direction to find Jungkook walking toward me. I almost knocked over the chair I was sitting on with how fast I got up. I rushed to Jungkook, who was wearing a black pinstripe suit with dark wings on his back.

“Cool, right?”

I was in awe. “This is insane, Kookie!”

I circled around him to see the full ensemble.

“Are they attached to the jacket itself,” I asked, curiously looking at where the wings attached to the back of the jacket.

“Mhmm,” he nodded triumphantly.

I moved to stand in front of him, still in awe of the wings.

“You are seriously the coolest person I know,” I said, looking between the wings and his face.

“I know.” He smiled down at me.

We stood there, unmoving, for a moment before the director called him over to start filming.

As he started to walk away I called his name, making him turn his head toward me.

“Knock ‘em dead, Kook!”

“I’m just saying, that feast was well deserved. I have been longing for grilled meat since the first meal I had. Why does everything have to be so healthy here?”

Jungkook chuckled, “I know how you feel.”

We walked out of the elevator as we headed toward our hotel room.

Once unlocked, we went inside, took off our shoes by the door, then I quickly plopped down on my bed ready to sleep off this very delicious meal.

Jungkook sat on his bed with his back resting on the headboard as he scrolled through his phone.

I grabbed one of my extra pillows, hugging it tightly, ready to happily doze off before Jungkook decided to speak up.

“Y/n/n?”

I hummed to let him know that I was still awake.

“What would you do if I asked you out?”

I opened my eyes, but I didn’t move from my position facing the wall.

I hummed in thought before answering, “I would probably say that you’re drunk.”

“I didn’t drink that much.”

“Then I would say that you’re crazy.”

He playfully scoffed at my answer. Figuring that I wouldn’t be getting out of this conversation anytime soon, I sat up and turned to face him while crossing my legs for some comfort.

“What would you really say, Y/n?”

“I don’t know. Are you really asking me out, Jungkook,” I asked, tilting my head to the side.

He mirrored me by moving to sit across from me, crossing his legs.

“Maybe~”

“Then maybe,” I said as I leaned on my arms behind me.

“Y/n/n, all you have to say is yes or no.”

I smiled as I softly sang, “Say yes or no. Yes or no. Yes or no~”

He chuckled, crossing his arms.

“You know,” he started, “I wrote that about you.”

My eyes shot up to meet his as I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“Wha- really?!”

He nodded as he played with his lip ring. “You always thought it was sweet to confess through a song. That song is my confession to you.”

“I do always say that. But here I thought that I was more of a Standing Next to You kind of person,” I huffed.

He chuckled at my comment and I smiled at him.

“So about me asking you out…” he trailed off.

I stood up and walked over to his bed to sit with him. I gently held his hand in mine as I looked up at him with a soft smile.

“I say 'yes'.”

He beamed at me with that smile I loved so much.

“But I still get the window seat on the way back home,” I said seriously.

He laughed and took me into a hug.

“As long as I get to be by you, you can have all the window seats you want.”

Silver Lining - What If #8 : Min & Kook or Busan Brothers?

Neuron by J-Hope (with Gaeko & YOON MIRAE) focused playlist.

[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]

🐺 — 🐺 — 🐺—

Ladies, Gentlemen and Distinguished Enbies: HELLO!

How is everyone? Hope you are all enjoying this little break, if you celebrate Easter, and if for any reason you didn’t get a break either you don’t celebrate Easter, or you are part of the “holiday working class” I hope you are at least safe and serene 💜. All that said, let me tell you;

It’s incredible what a few days off can do, aye?!

For one I've been very vivid dreams and, for two, I’m actually in the mood of writing posts, would you look at that! AND BY THE WAY I keep forgetting to do this, but I will at some point later today I need to write an advisory note for the Sonyeondan Colosseum as I haven’t been there in a while but I still get aspiring gladiators, who are dying to participate, and albeit fun, at the moment, I really don't have that much time, to provide these fighters with the appropriate match they deserve 😫. So it is only right that I rely the appropriate information, as I do believe I run a fine institution and as such I am sorry for allowing my administration to slack real life suddenly got so busy and interesting that I didn’t, and still don't, have time to play, but who knows what the future holds right?! There just might appear a contender so unique, I might not resist the urge for a little tussle.

Anyways, back to the topic of this post, as it is sort of a continuation of this one → Solstice & Equinox, it is indeed about the Jikook Travel vlog we still no absolutely nothing about, but of which I woke up with thoughts/ideas about, hence, why I’ve placed this post, yet again, in my Silver Lining series 🤡. In my previous post I tried to predict the vlogs' scheduling, in this post I would like to talk about the possible style this vlog might take, while making, as always, educated guesses and also diving into JK’s filmmaking style.

⚠️I MOST LIKELY WILL WAX HELLA POETIC OVER A LOT OF FILMMAKING STRUCTURES, SO BE HELLA WARNED⚠️

Let’s start right off the bat with:

Also if you are NOT familiar with “Youtuber” Jimin, below is a little summary:

As you can probably tell by some of the ss because there are so many more, believe me!, JM is very enthusiastic about vlogging and, as we all know, JK is very enthusiastic about producing video related content as well as taking it further when he directed Life Goes On for example. Both JM and JK consume copious amounts of video content, be it movies, dramas, anime or shows and they often seem to be watching the same shows as well. Reason why, perhaps, they often seem to be the only privy of their media related inside jokes.

Now, imagine loving to watch shows so much and having as a significant other someone whom not only has so much footage/pictures of you which will never see btw 🤡 but also has the skills to potentially make a show out of you, or with you, because they also enjoy the same thing, what would you do? Sure, you like travelling and he is not too big into that, but some time 7 years ago this person not only took you on a trip, but also found the most memorable way to immortalise this for you, resulting in this person producing more and more travel vlogs. Not sure if JK has come to enjoy travelling, but one thing is for sure;

he seems to enjoy making one helluva good vlog out of it.

Now, before we get into the reason for my title (Min & Kook or Busan Brother?) let’s look into JK’s filmmaking style THIS IS WHERE I AM SURE I WILL NERD OUT, and in order to do this we will look into two of particular videos, as I feel like their travel vlog could be a mixture of this two:

VIDEO 1: [BTS VLOG] Jung Kook l CAMPING VLOG

youtube

VIDEO 2: G.C.F in Budapest

youtube

Let’s start from VIDEO 1. This was a series of vlogs we got from each of the members and were posted on BANGTANTV between July 9, 2022 and December 10, 2022 as always with the Tannies, the actual filming dates may or may not be close to the time they were posted. There are many different types of vlogs out there, because many are the different interests of viewers out there. When looking at our boys, you can clearly see theri vlogs divided in 3 specific types of vlogs:

“HOW TO”-vlog: In this type of video, usually the hosts want to learn to do something, and so they either attempt or they are a master in said craft to do said something, while showing the viewer step-by-step, with the intent/hope that the viewer can learn or feel inspired to want to do it as well.

Jin

Yoongi

“CELEBRITY LIFE”-vlog: This type of video, we follow a typical/particular day in the life of a celebrity. There is usually not so much editing done, and it gives very much the feeling of watching a reality TV show.

Tae

Hobi

“TRAVEL”-vlog: These are usually specifically about showcasing cities, spaces, activities. They are very action filled, so they will not have as many static shots as, for example, the previous two themes

Joonie

Even though JK and Joonie have the same style of vlog, there is something that JK has, which all the other 6 don’t, which is his own “colour”.

JK has a very specific style that is unique to himself within the group, and you can notice in the editing, which makes me think he often takes part in, whereas, even though the type of vlog is different for the other 6 members, the style of editing is the same for all of them. When I say that JK adds his own colour, I mean that, for example, he so often breaks the 4th wall in very conventional and unconventional ways and this is something I've noticed only he does actually in Bangtan.

Aside from JK’s Film Colour, I do believe that this is also an indication of how long we can hope their travel vlog to be. In the end the main event was camping, with other events as well and it was edited to 45mins, which is a long ass video for this type of vlog, it basically means that they realistically had hours of footage and at least 3 type of campers, which I will get into in my next point.

GCF in Budapest has all of JK’s colours as of 2023.

This video is the result of 6 years during which he filmed, edited and directed different projects. GCF in Budapest is very professional, and even though he didn’t do the final edit on this, he did direct it, meaning that there wasn’t a single shot that he hadn’t planned, requested or approved of. Basically, JK is the person that instructed other camera-people the times he wasn’t filming himself as to what shot he needed and wanted for the final project, all the way from principal, to secondary, footage I DON’T THINK YOU CAN’T BUT I’M ABOUT TO NERD OUT, RIGHT NOW. Following are the notable structures in this GCF, with related explanations/examples:

Non-static self-filming - This is the typical vlog style where the main subject is filming himself. But in his case he seems to favour this type of shots when he is moving the most, as if he wants us to fill like we are really travelling with him, as opposed to constantly placing the camera on the surface, not moving, and talking.

B-Roll Footage - is also known as “filler footage”. Usually there is no talking or nothing of importance, but they are quite good for either transitions or comic relief. I LOVE B-ROLL FOOTAGE and JK uses it so well. I believe that b-rolls fit JK so well because of his personality, he tends to space out so often that, in the filmmaking context, this type of footage offers a way to show this dimension of his personality, for example, himself goofing off in the b-roll is perhaps what he does in his head when he is spacing out in real life.

Traditional filming - This is your typical main subject being filmed by a camera-person. As there seem to be two different angles during this type of shot, there were at least 2 different people filming him I will not go deep into the type of camera/s that were you as this is not that kind of post.

Establishing shots - This are shots that make the viewer know where and when something is happening, and they are extremely important in film-making, but not really in vlogging as the title of the vlog already tells you where and sometimes when, if not you’ll find out in the dialog you are, but it is exactly this kind of touch that makes his work feel very cinematographic.

All the aforementioned, are characteristics that I am expecting to see in their travel blog and I am soooooo much looking forward to check our the whole crew, if by any chance we get a roll end credit scene 🥹 to be honest, going back to video 1, since they were in each known location for more than a day, they could make at least 2 self-sufficient vlogs but hey ….

JK surely came a long way from GCF in Tokyo, didn’t he? And even though he hasn’t produced a GCF with the same colours ever since, there was something that was:

To me, filming is the art of skilfully deceiving, while willfully being deceived, during a specific amount of time, after which we all go back to our realities unharmed or “not”, depending on the depth of the film.

Films are like magic.

But what is filming for JK? To be veeeeery honest with you, the person who has a future in acting amongst the Tannies is Kim Taehyung, yet, the two people who can for sure act, on the silver-screen, are Kim Seokjin and Kim Taehyung … so why do I feel like Tae is the only only that has a future in this field? Because Tae can live for and with it. Just knowing how to act is not enough, you have to want to be an actor, for real-real. You know how Hobi breathes dancing? Tae breathes out imaginary characters in a similar way, reason why I can see him having a very prolific career as an actor as well.

Now ... why do I bring this up?

If JK just wanted to become a movie director alongside being the amazing musician he is, he’s had the perfect subject/s to do so. So why has he been so fixated with filming JM? JM is not the type of subject you can use for a long film, sure, he likes to act with his friends, but I don't think that cinema glory is one of his objectives in life I may be very wrong. He can perform/dance like hell crazy for the camera, HANDS FUCKING DOWN, but, once again, serious silver-screen acting isn’t what he wants. So, once again, given a choice of Tae and Jin;

Why JM?

TIME FOR TIN HATS Y’ALL HURRY 👏🏾 HURRY👏🏾 HURRY! 📢

I, Marengo, think that JK had always intended to make GCF in Tokyo as merely a video to preserve the happy memories, during a hard moment in their lives, which they spent together. This video-gift was specifically intended, for JM, in the style that JM mostly appreciated at the time, which might have happened to be YT vlogs. While editing his video, JK perhaps realised that it might have been a bit on the nose, so he added establishing b-roll shots of Tokyo, thinking it might have been enough to divert the attention from JM; but unfortunately failed. For a few reasons, but mainly, the lack of any spoken words in my opinion.

The thing is that for the purposes of what i think his objective was, words were absolutely not needed. “Look! See how happy you were here! It doesn’t matter how shit things are, we can still be happy; You can still be happy!” In the same way, with Life Goes On he wanted us to see their changed everyday life of the time, the sadness, melancholy and hope they all felt. Words were not needed, and this is the type of filming which is closest to the inner colours of Jeon Jungkook. JK is not the best with words, so I believe that he found in filmmaking a form of expressing himself in a more effective way.

HOWEVER, as we all know, even though Life Goes On was well received, GCF in Tokyo’s main critique was “Where is tokyo? All I see is JM”. Yet, his main purpose wasn’t Tokyo, the shots, the song, the editing, clearly indicated that. Nevertheless, if at the time, JM was indeed his queer interest as I don’t believe they were going steady at the time, he wasn’t going to jump out gun blazing to defend his choice; was he now? No, he left us to believe that he was gonna get better, and next thing he did was add more members and better establishing shots, but never forget; gcf in Tokyo is still there and still something he remembers fondly.

Now as for the title of this post 😂😂😂. Be it straight, queer, interrational or whatever, there is one thing that most of couple YT channels have in common:

Their channel name is either a union of their name or there is and &/and to join siad names. When JM was pretending to have a channel with JK during this live → VMINKOOK LIVE he named their channel MinKook, because he was Min and he was Kook so, MinKook and let’s forget for a second that this actually resulted to be a very funny korean pun. I honestly do believe that if you are a platonic duo on YT you will very rarely use your name with your friends name as it seems like it is a universal YT truth that “” & “” channels are couple channels. So if anything, if JM was talking out of subconscious, he maybe had been watching a lot of YT couple channels, at the time, and thought it okay for them to have a channel name that matched the same energy? …

🤡🤡🤡

So my question is: will the channel be named something akin to that couple vibe RISKY AF, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?? Or will it be something more like the Busan Brothers name that they are often given … HELLA SAFE, MAKES A LOT OF SENSE? I guess only time will tell!

Ok then, hats off! Let's go back to reality, where we can happily keep waiting for this blasted travel vlog LOL.
