these shippers don’t stan tae and i’m not even sure they stan the girl. lying through their teeth that they want to stay private when if that’s the case you don’t stage a shady ass walk and ask the pap to capture it for u. u don’t play dumb and not address the rumor and let anyone and everyone make a joke of ur personal lives and drag your significant other. and u definitely don’t post smth that literally proves you weren’t even there at the same time as him. it’s actually pathetic. it’s been 2 months and the attention has shifted and she decided to bring it back to herself because her company is a mess and so is her career. and then you have tae coming on live right after he landed and showing us the car seat next to him to tell us it’s empty and that he’s not waiting for her at the airport like shippers hoped he would be. he’s the real one we should be praising. i hope he stays strong and has good people around him who keep supporting and having his back.

hi anon i completely agree with you and i couldn’t have said it better, if they have no problems in being spotted holding hands in paris (let’s ignore the shady weird circumstances in which it happened) and if taehyung “dgaf and wants to go public” why no one is saying anything? why no confirmation? why everything always drops from HER side and always when it’s the most convenient time for her (yg stocks dropping, lisa not renewing, lisa dating rumors, disbandment rumors)? and i also feel like people are forgetting that hybe and yg are working together recently.

taehyung will never acknowledge her and will continue to do so. if it’s real i want them to confirm it so that taehyung can stop being stalked and followed everywhere i only care about his safety wellbeing AND artistry.

[miniminijiminni]

you know what sizzles my egg? when two idols walk around together just being friends and suddenly straight people are like "omg!!!! my sin babies!!!!!!!" but then you have idols like jonghyun and yoongi talking about giving blowjobs and it's suddenly "in our heads" and we're "pushing our sexuality" onto them like your oppa likes dick suzy!! get over it!!!!

[stormblessed95]

Hi, I was wondering if ikook ever kissed each other? I've seen jimin kissing tae forhead, tae kissing namjoon, jungkook and jin's cheek, jimin kissing jin's hand. jimin kissing tae's cheek as penality, hobi kissing the maknae line... How about jikook ?

My posts over kisses are here:

Jikook kisses/almost kisses:

Jimin asking for kisses here:

Jimin kissing JKs neck:

Maknae Line kissing BTS post here:

TaeJin Wake Up Kiss:

Everyone kissing Tae and more maknae line with the members kisses (they really be giving those out like candy, huh)

KM Rosebowl and Tannies love bites/kisses:

MOTS ONE love bite:

Lol yes, I included posts of kisses between the other members too. But hopefully that answers your question a little bit 🥰 jikook don't exchange as many causal kisses as the others do, but the kisses they do exchange?? Lol

[jikookao3recs]

do you read Manga? Have you come across jikook ones, if yes?

Hi, I know some but they aren't officially ikook but they kinda are.. I don't know if you'll like it but here:

totally agree with you about the mischaracterization of s/teddie!! also this might be a bit of a hot take, but i think what it boils down to is persistent heteronormativity even with nonhet ships. so basically - you'll notice that in almost every ship (especially mlm ships, so that's what i'm referring to in this case), there's always the cute/innocent character (or in some cases, the "oh, poor baby" character who you're obviously supposed to feel bad for or protective of) and then the more capable, tougher, or bad-a** character (who, more often than not, "corrupts" the other). it's just perpetuating the stereotype that there has to be a more dominant or stronger person in the relationship, and in a het ship that would usually, not always but usually, be the male character by default. But because in nonhet ships there's not that automatic control dynamic (which is unnecessary anyways, in my opinion), the fic writers compensate by watering down the characters' canon personalities to fit into those two character archetypes (which are basically just the stereotypically feminine/masculine roles, dialed up to 100). alternatively there's also the "chaotic one" and the "babysitter", which i see both s/teddie and r/onance being forced into a lot of the time. but that's why, for example, a lot of people like j/ikook (j/imin and j/ungkook from b/t/s) - because j/imin is seen as more feminine/cute and j/ungkook is the tall muscly guy with tattoos, which plays right into the ideal stereotypical dynamic for fics. and that's why, in this case, you get all those posts about s/teve being bitchless (playing into the idea that he's the weaker one in the relationship bc he's "inexperienced") or calling him girlfriend/babygirl/malewife, etc. because he's being forced to fit the stereotypically feminine role - even all those posts about him being the "babysitter" of the group play into that!! and then that's also how you get e/ddie turned into a dom bad boy and all that but anyways!! sorry for sending you a whole essay lmao i just have a lot of Thoughts about this, and it really bothers me bc it happens in like??? every fandom??? and then the characters become these weird, distorted stereotypes instead of their canon personalities, which was the whole reason i liked them & shipped them together in the first place???? idk, it's a mess lmao

bestie you’re literally so correct. i feel like that’s why people pounced on the idea of ha/rringrove when billy was first introduced because people could more easily fit him and steve into that dynamic. (therefore completely disregarding all the fucked up shit billy did.) and when eddie was introduced and was actually shown being kind towards the kids and flirtatious towards steve - basically everything the ha/rringrove fandom wanted billy to be - people disregarded his behavior yet again and instead assigned those exact same roles onto him and steve. which makes me really sad tbh. eddie and steve are just so much more interesting than all that!

i must say i am guilty of calling steve babygirl (i’ve def done it on this blog lmao) but i do not wish to infantilize him! and i don’t mean it in the context of like. his sexual exploits or anything. but i totally get what you’re saying. the whole babysitter/“mom” trope was already played up far too much and now people refer to eddie as the “dad” and it’s like ??? oh wow yet another way of enforcing heteronormative gender roles onto an mlm ship. great job guys.

also, i didn’t even think about that in the context of ro/nance but i definitely agree!! i’m not gonna lie - and i realize this is a slight subject change lol - i’m already on the fence about them because nancy is a character i really struggle to sympathize with or understand sometimes. i think she’d realistically have to do a lot of personal growth to get to the point where she could even say she likes robin as more than a friend. also (don’t come for me!!!) she wasn’t even very nice to robin in the show lmao so i feel like ro/nance really only works in fanon. but even still, as you said, people love to assign stereotypical gender roles onto them in fics as well so idk.

A Jikook Guide to Run! BTS: 1-20

Hi all! Welcome to part one of my overview of all jikook moments in Run! BTS and Run BEHIND. 

My biggest takeaway from these early episodes is that BH didn't quite know how to make a good variety show yet. Some of the set-ups are awkward and the guys are clearly still getting used to being on camera in this format. The jikook moments aren’t as frequent or obvious. As we go on, expect less “they look at each other in a maybe meaningful way” and more “then he sat down in his lap...” That said, this set of episodes includes both the priest skit and the cops skit, so if you’re into role-play, this was your era of Run!

Episode Guide under the cut, to avoid both spoilers and taking up half your dash...

UPDATED PER THE SUGGESTIONS OF SOME LOVELY COMMENTERS. THANK YOU ALL! New content in bold. 

FYI: When you don’t see “BEHIND” descriptions or photos, it means there were no notable jikook moments. I’ve given each ep a general rating and a special Jikook-ery rating, both out of 5. YMMV!

Ep 1  (n/a)

The one that’s just a commercial for the V app

Ep 2 “The Greatest Man” (Ep: 3 / KM: 1)

The one with the most homoerotic series of challenges I’ve ever seen to prove who’s the “best” man

6:28 - Jimin TWICE randomly announces during musical chairs that JK will win 

Not ikook-specific, but FYI, Jungkook REALLY likes being tickled. If you want a vague idea of what the beginnings of an OT7 orgy might look like, the scene at 2:09 is for you! And if you’re curious what each member looks like putting on lipstick and holding their mouths open, check out 4:24. 

Ep 3  “Theme Park” (Ep: 1 / KM: 1)

The one at Six Flags that’s not worth watching unless you enjoy shaky camera footage of people screaming on roller coasters

5:44 - When Jimin is proud of himself for having ridden a coaster, JK goes to say something to him but keeps glancing at the camera self-consciously.  

6:19 - With the camera further away, JK and JM talk with each other while waiting on line

7:06 - JK fast-walks to get to JM and then leans on JM’s shoulder to check the post-ride pictures

Ep 4  “30 Second Gate” (Ep: 1 / KM: 0.5)

The one where they do fairly boring challenges in a pool

5:26 - There’s a super brief instant of JK looking over at Jimin while shyly tugging on his shirt collar. Prob not even worth being noted as a moment, but JK looks so adorable that I’m including it anyway

Ep 5  “100 Seconds Sports Day” (Ep: 1 / KM: 1)

The one with a rather repetitive relay game

5:56 - JM playfully throws a milk carton at JK when JK fails to complete his task

7:53 - JK does some “teleporting” where he goes from being behind Suga in one shot to next to JM in the following one. He stays next to JM the whole rest of the time they’re mixing the drink. 

Ep 6 “Sketch: Confession” (Ep: 2 / KM: 4)

The priest sketch that launched a thousand AUs...

3:30 - Jungkook comes in to “confess his sins” to Jimin, who is playing a priest and calls him “darling.” JK confesses to using Jin’s razor while also claiming to be the eldest in BTS. Jimin tells him that he’s so handsome, it must be that he’s blessed by God and can be forgiven for most things. Jimin tells JK to give him a hug to get forgiveness for his sins. As they hug, both are smiling and the onscreen text tells us how happy Jimin is and puts a little heart next to his face during the hug. Jimin strokes JK’s cheek after and it seems to make JK a little shy. Jimin calls out “bye, darling” as he leaves, then calls him “cutie” for the camera.  For comparison’s sake, Jimin hits V on the forehead and makes J-Hope do 50 push-ups to earn forgiveness. He hugs J-Hope at the end of it and the difference between how that hug feels versus the one with JK is clear as day.

Ep 6pt2 “Sketch: Confession” (Ep: 2 / KM: 0 )

None (neither appear in this episode)

Ep 7 “Paintball” (Ep: 1 / KM: 1)

The one that reminds you paintball is more fun to play than to watch

I’ll be honest, guys, between the masked helmets they’re wearing and the constant cutting around, I cannot follow the paintball games in this episode at all. I’m going to go out on a limb and say nothing particularly shippy happens during them. 

9:54 - JK picks up Jimin from behind and bounces him around for a while (we don’t know how long because the camera cuts before he’s done). It will be revealed in ep. 10 that this is part of JK’s secret mission, which is to get Jimin to say “please stop.” However, despite Jimin not looking thrilled at all the bouncing around, he doesn’t tell JK to stop.

Ep 8 “Treasure Hunt” (Ep: 2 / KM: 2)

The one where they run or ride ATVs to find flags in the woods

1:15 - Jimin says out of nowhere that he thinks JK is going to be running and tells him to be careful not to bump into anyone (I think - the subs are a little weird on this one).

13:09 - JK tries to take one of JM’s meal ticket flags. JM refuses and claims JK called him “trash.” JK (kind of?) denies this and throws his one flag on the ground in frustration. J-Hope grabs it and JK sulks a bit because he’s left with nothing. 

13:33 - Jimin reverses course and gives JK one of his flags. JK is delighted. RM asks why (apparently he, Jimin, and V had a deal to share their flags?) and Jimin just responds that Jungkook is very cute (which the on-screen texts puts a heart next to).  Jimin ends up giving a flag to V, too, but he makes him beg like a dog first. 

14:16 - Jimin calls JK over and gives him a brief hug / pat on the back

Ep 9 “Bungee Jump” (Ep: 1 / KM: 0.5)

The one where it is what it says on the tin

11:25 - Some jikookers have reported hearing JK say an un-captioned “pretty” here (sounds like yebbeo or yeebeun in Korean). I’ll be totally honest that I can’t really make it out, but I will put this note here in case others with better ears than mine want to check it out!

13:59 - JM has his arm around JK at the start of the shot here

Ep 10 “Spy for Silmido Island” (Ep: 2 / KM: 2)

The one where everyone eats a meal as they learn how JK has been doing secret missions the last three episodes

6:16 - JK explains that he failed his mission to get Jimin to say, “please stop.” We see flashbacks of JK trying - in addition to the above picking JM up, JK also pulled on his hair and gave him a shoulder rub (there is no explanation for why he thought that would be something JM would tell him to stop), and spraying him with a water bottle.  The main jikook takeaway from this and the confession episode seems to be that JM will let JK get away with anything because he think he’s cute. 

7:00 - We see that JM inadvertently made JK fail his mission to feed the camera man because, when JK held out food, JM got JK to feed him instead

Ep 11 "Back to School" (Ep: 3 / KM: 1)

The one where Suga dresses as a girl and gets hit on by the rest of the band

21:28 - Despite Jimin doing nothing but smiling in the sketch, JK says he's the day's MVP and is weirdly sincere about it

24:05 - YMMV on jeon-lous, but he does indeed do the tongue thing here when JM is flirting with girl-Yoongi

Ep 12 "Cops" (Ep: 4 / KM: 4)

The police sketch that launched ten thousand AUs...

6:46 - "Detective" Jungkook pulls "criminal" Jimin away by his collar 8:41 - After Jimin acts cute and says he's bored, JK comes over and slaps his upper thigh before throwing Jimin over his shoulder and slapping his butt. When JK puts him down, Jimin just looks at him with a dazed smile for a moment before they continue on with the sketch.

9:30 - Jimin tries to flirt his way out of of JK’s interrogation, which JK says is for “setting fire to ARMY’s hearts with his smiling eyes.”

10:25 - After a brief interuption by “Captain” Suga, the interrogation starts having flirty vibes again, with JK smirking and making eye contact while Jimin acts bashful and speaks in a whispery voice. 

11:00 - JK holds a fake gun on JM as he starts his “Lie” dance, during which he directs finger hearts towards JK. The camera focuses on JM and, by the time it shows JK again, he’s lowered the gun and put his other hand over his heart. The on-screen text says “Detective Jeon’s heart is attacked.”

12:55 - JM and JK switch roles so JM is the detective. He hits JK over the head with a book. JK has basically no visible reaction, but JM has clearly flustered himself. 

Note: To explain my reasoning for these originally not being here - if you look at the other skits in this ep, they are all accusing each other of doing things to ARMY’s hearts and being weirdly flirty with each other. Like, this police station has some serious sexual harassment issues all around! That said, the vibes are unique with jikook and, upon rewatch, I came to agree with y’all that the above should’ve been included. 19:30 - Alternate version of the sketch where Jimin and JK have a dance battle that ends in both of them being put in the jail cell and told to dance.

BEHIND  0:58 - Jimin flirt-ily calls out "I'm bored; play with me, Detective" (presumably to JK since they're scene partners).  Note: Adults saying they "played" with each other is a common way to describe hanging out in Korean and doesn't necessarily have the sexual connotations it does in English. 

4:08 - Jimin stares at JK as he does squats

Ep 13 "The Spy Who Returned Part 1" (Ep: 4 / KM: 2)

The ones where they play games at an indoor water park

1:00 - Jimin does an exaggerated running motion and JK slaps him to make him stop, which JM finds funny

1:43 - JM has his arm around JK 

6:00 - JK jokingly(?) tells JM his wet hair looks cool

11:12 - JM calls JK their team's ace and they whisper about who he should call out from the other team 

Ep 14 "The Spy Who Returned Part 2" (Ep: 3 / KM: 2)

16:04 - JM jokingly hits JK for getting the answer super wrong and then they go down the waterslide together. (Note: I've seen some jikook-ers claim JK messed up on purpose so the game wouldn't end and he'd get to ride with Jimin, but I'm not sure there's actual evidence to support that theory.)

The moment that led to the picture below isn’t in the ep or the BEHIND, but I raised the episode’s KM score a full point for it

Ep 15 "The Spy Who Returned Part 3" (Ep: 3 / KM: 2)

TW for this ep: 5:14 - during the confessions game, Jin tells Jimin that whenever Jimin asks if he put on weight, Jin wants to say he looks like a pig. Jimin claims to not be upset after, but looks like he's going to cry and seems off for a while. Then, at 10:45, Jin reiterates that Jimin "got fat." Everyone laughs except JK, who widens his eyes and then starts chewing on his finger.  

6:37 - Despite being on the same team as JK, Jimin joins J-Hope's complaints about JK coming to their room uninvited, saying that JK often brushes his teeth in their room. He accuses JK of buying the exact same toothbrush as Jimin’s and complains that they can’t tell them a part. JK says it wasn't him and then there's a weird cut to sometime later when Jimin is sitting back down again...  Just prior to this, Jimin is looking unhappy as Hobi tells a story about JK seeing him naked, but it’s hard to tell if he’s reacting to that or feeling upset about Jin’s weight comments from the previous round. 

16:02 - Jimin defends Jungkook against accusations that he's the spy

BEHIND 4:30 - Jimin sits on Jungkook's lap and, when he leans over to try to get Jin to give him food, JK puts his hand on JM's hip to steady him

Ep 16 "Snowpark Winter Olympics" (Ep: 4 / KM: 1)

The one where everyone plays winter games 

4:35 - When JM and JK are the finalists for the sledding round, JM thanks the viewers for their support. JK asks "what does that make me?" and yells/sings badly, which makes JM laugh. I don’t quite get it, tbh, but they seem to be enjoying themselves

14:50 - JK helps JM get his sled in place

BEHIND 3:02 - JK smiles as he gets pushed towards JM on the ice 

Ep 17 "Arcade Olympics Part 1" (Ep: 2 / JK: 2)

The ones where we are reminded that playing arcade games is more fun than watching people play them

All of this and next episode, whenever they all reshuffle positions, Jimin and Jungkook end up standing next to each other. This happens pretty frequently in Run BTS generally, but it was particularly noticeable in this ep since it's not like they're on the same team or anything...

4:16 - When Jimin does a dramatic DDR finish, JK calls attention to it. JM turns to him and they lock eyes for a second

15:00 - JK cheers Jimin's name when it looks like he's going to win the basketball game 

BEHIND

3:36 - JK & JM play a 4D game together Also, JK has an interesting mark on his neck on his right side that does not appear to be there in the episode itself...

Ep 18 "Arcade Olympics Part 2" (Ep: 2 / JK: 1)

3:30 - JK tries (unsuccessfully) to coach Jimin on the driving game

3:45 - JK stands up for Jimin and says he's getting the hang of the game

14:36 - JM & JK laugh together at RM's failure

19:58 - It's not super clear, but it sounds like JK calls JM "Jiminie" at the end of his sentence

Ep 19 "Strike" (Ep: 2 / JK: 1)

The one where BTS go bowling together and end up bowing down to JK

4:47 - JK shares that he and Jimin used to bowl together

---

If there’s anything I’ve missed or that anyone has different interpretations of, I’d love to hear it. 

More episodes coming soon!
