JK is so fucking horny for Jimin π₯΄π₯΄
Like just think about ITS. Pretty sure he got what he wanted during the night before in the soop shooting. 'I couldn't sleep because I was I so excited for in the soop'.
And the very next night he's asking again for... ramyeon ??? Wtf JK give him a break π₯΄ Smartie mimi escaped him by saying he's sleepy lmao
Escaped? Escaped where? π€π€
Tweet
Recap: JK asks for ramen. They both laugh then Jimin says:

But does he sleep? Nah. Mans quickly runs through the fog to JK's house


JK got his ramen alright. ππ I talk about this here.

Jimin's thoughts are μ€λ°μ‘°λ°
Long time no see! Today I'm bringing over a cute conversation between i-kookminers and k-kkms on Twitter. The lovely @goldenhickeysandramen sent it my way yesterday, and we woke up to replies from korean jikookers explaining the cultural context behind JK's words in a w-live. I found it so cute I couldn't not bring it to your attention here.
The first post was made by someone curious about why korean fans found this JK clip so adorable.

The phrase OP was pointing out is the following (JK's 27/03/23 live, min 51:51):
νμ€ν μ΄κ² μ¬λλ§λ€ μκ°νλ κ² λ§μ΄ λ¬λΌ. Certainly, the way every person thinks is very different. μ§λ―Ό νμ μκ°μ΄ μ½κ° μ€λ°μ‘°λ°νλ κ±° κ°μ. Jimin hyung's way of thinking is a bit meticulous. μ€λ°μ‘°λ°νλ€κΈ°λ³΄λ€ μμ² λλΌν΄μΌ λ κΉβ¦ Well, more than meticulous, how should I say it...
(he didn't finish his thoughts LOL he went on a tangent after this :'))
The word he used to describe Jimin's way of thinking is μ€λ°μ‘°λ° (/oh-mil-cho-mil/). This word is a little difficult to translate because it's a κ³ μ¬μ±μ΄ (ζ
δΊζθͺ), aka a 4-letter-idiom that typically comes from ancient Korean literature or history.
(Before the invention of hangeul, the korean alphabet we all know, Korean used Chinese characters (also known as hanja) to transcribe Korean words and sounds. The heritage of this tradition can be found in words like this, or in the use of hanja in newspapers. Let me know if you want to know more about this!)
μ€λ°μ‘°λ° is made up of these 4 characters: ε₯§ε―η¨ ε―.
ε₯§ means deep, ε― means tight or dense (fun fact, it's one of the two characters that makes up the word 'secret', so it also has the meaning of 'hidden'. Secret in korean is λΉλ° /bimil/ or γ²γΏγ€ /himitsu/ in japanese, η§ε―) and η¨ also means thick or dense.
But what does this word actually mean? Why did Jungkook using it cause so much fuzz?
Like OP and other korean fans have said, it's used to describe tightly packed, or delicate and meticulous things.

When I first saw the clip, I agreed with JK. Jimin's extreme attention to detail and delicate and catious thinking, both as an artist and a person, can surely evoke this word. I'd only ever seen that word used to describe someone's facial features, in one of those highly specific and slightly funny ways that Koreans have to compliment someone's physical traits, but I didn't think twice about JK's choice of words.
However, cultural nuance is so important and it cracked the code for me. Here's an explanation:
As you can see, the word still holds that delicate and tight meaning, but it's not used for abstract things such as thoughts. If you look up the hanja dictionary, it describes "a refined and detailed appearance regarding craftsmanship and skill/a very meticulous and detailed appearance." Synonyms include words like 'cute' and 'pretty' (μκΈ°μκΈ° is one of them, which means small and cute, baby-like. Isn't that the most Jimin word you've ever heard??).
Like I told @goldenhickeysandramen, nobody knows (or loves) Jimin better than JK. So, yeah, of course Jungkook thinks that Jimin is μ€λ°μ‘°λ°, despite how unconventional it may sound. Even his thoughts are pretty to him. π₯Ίπ

So much happening in that bedroom scene...the ass slaps and carress really stands out lol but Im still struck by JK pulling JMs leg softly to the side and laying his head on jinin and just...breathing there. Jimin really is an anchor for him it was so simple but loving. And Jimins smooth legs on jks stomach while they read their phones and im not seeing ppl mention it but I love how jimin smoothly rolled over a bit and pulled jungkooks hair lolol...jungkooks wressling and ass slap are in retaliation hahah but jimin started it!! I love how jungkook just breathes jimin in its ridiculous and tbh this whole post...that whole scene...jikook....none of this feels real omg. I love them so much.
#jikook#are you sure#i think ppl missed jimins quick hair tug bc their legs were all distracting and there was...ahem...alot going on#but it was so hot tbh#jimin is so sneaky seductive like he just is so smooth about it you dont notice at first#and jk really loves him im sorry its so obvious

Jimin and Jungkook spoiler.
Drinking. Camping. <Elbowing him in his sleep>... I think I can assume the latter is the thing everyone wants to see.
They had so much fun!
Jimin & Jungkook, coming soon!
The anticipation! I know it will be funny, heartwarming, maybe we'll get some philosophical reflections from them. MAYBE WE'LL GET A REAL OST SONG!

What I do know is we'll get to see their great chemistry up close again!
Jimin and Jungkook will not cancel this special thing they did for us. They were so excited about it.
If you are angry, sad, aggravated by the people who wish the Jimin and Jungkook travel thing to be cancelled, it's simple. Block those people and you don't have to see that. I know seeing it makes you emotional and your impulse is to angrily lash out at them to "fight back" or to "correct" the injustice. Ignore them. Block them. You can do it. Life is much better without trash cluttering up the view. Life is also too short to waste energy on people who take away your joy.
My advice to you for the long run though, you gotta learn not to let others control your happiness. Only you control your own happiness. Trust me on this one.
To those who donβt want this show, just shut up and go. We don't care.
Jimin and Jungkook will remain unbothered and they'll be seeing the rest of us love what they did.
#jikook is coming#jikook#jimin#jungkook#its coming whether you like it or not#they got thru solo time now they're in quality time together#i know its the military but memories of this shared experience will be with them forever#rpwp is coming

"jungkook is huge now βΊοΈ" said jimin the one whos most obsessed with jungkook big and strong body, the one WHO LOVES to be caged by big arms and who touches jk chest as if its his own stress ball π
lord have mercy on all of us who will have to deal with these two even more crazy chemistry and lust/horny once they get out of the army
lord also have mercy on namjoon π he is one of our strongest soldiers
jimin is getting out of that prison even more crazy about jungkook, and i dont even need to say anything about jk we all know how he is when it comes about his jiminie π
next bts concert they will put another moment like this but ill be even more worse
mark my words!!!
we can run but we cant hide from jikook free of military
#jikook#kookmin#minkook#bts jikook#jk is huge jimin LOVES IT and now its everyone problem#i fear for delulu y/n who once again will have their hopes crushed to the ground#that is NOT your man thats jimin and he will make sure you know that

Thank you for calming some of my fears about this. This is stressing me out so much π
Do you have anything Jikook to share? It doesn't have to be about this, I just need some comfort right now.
This is really not something to bother you leave alone stress you? Antis annoy me yeah, but I never let them get to me. Ever. I refuse to let ANYONE affect my BTS experience. Leave alone my Jikook experience. I know what I know, have seen what I've seen, and it will take Jikook themselves to make me stop believing they're a couple. Not some rats on the Internet waiting to shit on Jikook any chance they get.
π
π½ββοΈ
Of course there will always be Jikook moments to talk about. I'll throw some random shit at you. How's that? ππ
Random shit No.1 -> I made a post here about JK's type and Jimin's lips keep popping up on every sm recently so they've been on my mind. Which is y I remembered a tiny thing from Bon Voyage season 1 ep 1. Keeping in mind Jin and Jimin are the 2 members with full lips (and RM some but not as much as Jinmin) it would make perfect sense that they are the 2 JK would zoom in on when interviewing them


Thanks editors for the caption. π
Random shit No.2 -> Remember this post I made about Jikook living together, remember how I said it was weird Jimin was the only one who didn't have anywhere to live? Well recently this Karmy was talking about how hard it was for Jimin to leave his dorm life since he loves being around BTS sm

Then this Kjikooker chimmed in on how JK bought Jimin an apartment to make him feel better π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί

So guess the theory is that JK is the one who bought Nine-one for them seeing as they were both living there. I mean if anyone should know its fans who live there, right?
When u really think about it, it all comes together because JK moving into Brunnen... a house owned by the company with furniture from the old dorm...proving just how temporary that place is...which again makes sense coz of the house he's building in Itaewon.....
While we are on topic, there is a moment missing on my living together post but we all know it very well.
If you pay close attention to Jimin you will notice him subtly lifting his eyebrow. Its so subtle that idek how people noticed. JK looks at Jimin while members are laughing at him and Jimin does that. π€ So yeah, that coupled up with the fact that they were all making fan of JK and his mattresses but Jimin who under normal circumstances would be part of the discussion was quiet as a church mouse. That was incredibly sus.
Random shit number 3-> is a tiny BV analysis coz we know how much i love those. Okay so JK climbs up a steep hill without cameras at the crack of dawn to get his baby some snow. We know all about that. So tkkrs the morons that they are, tried to claim this moment for themselves because JK showed the snow to V first and offered him to touch if he wanted to. But, aside from JK waiting for Jimin to come out, apart from him jumping up eagerly to show Jimin the snow, apart from him watching Jimin's face to see his reaction when he handed him said snow, and apart from editors saying point blank that JK got a gift for Jimin, we also have this;
Season 4 episode 3. Members play RPS and losers have to climb the hill and bring back snow.

Someone i dont remember who, says that the snow will melt

But JK who's a professional of bringing snow from mountains by now, chims in

He already knows its not gonna melt since he did it before. Now he says that and then looks at Jimin and keeps looking at him

Doesn't once break eye contact. This here makes it perfectly clear that he got the snow for Jimin and no one else. JK stares at his boyfriend for so long that Jimin has to look away/looks down ππ

And JK still looking at him π€π€ This dude just makes me so happy to watch Jikookery stg π€£π€£ what does he want from Jimin?
Random shit No.4 -> while we are talking about BV there is something that happens i had to take note of. Yoonmin are the ones who lost and had to go up the hill to get the snow. When the rest got back to the cabin, Jhope was making people this magic toast with his secret recipe. This shit was so funny y'all should be able to remember it. He was so proud of it π€£π€£ Anyway, when Yoonmin got back, Jhope asked Jimin if he wanted his special toast.

But here comes the kicker. Jhope uses JK to convince Jimin to have the toast.

This, ladies and gentlemen are the reflexes i was talking about. It's not just Jikook keeping the secret that they are dating. It's the members too. And sometimes they will slip. Our president being the main culprit. π€π€π€ what does it matter that JK liked the toast? Suga and Jin had the toast too. Why is JK the member he uses to appeal to Jimin?
Random shit No.5 -> Is just this edit I like of Jimin having JK on a leash ππ

Random shit No.6 -> Is this photo of JK looking at Jimin.

That man is gone. His mind was elsewhere right then. Jeon Jungkook is a man in fucking love y'all. ππππ
What's that? Different angle you say? Sure fam, I got you.

Random shit No.7 -> BH saying fuck you to the haters.

Random shit number 8 -> Jikook in Tokyo. The gift that keeps on giving. Here is a fan recounting



Here is that one time members were asked:

One more time from Jikook π€π€

He he hee... and we have heard them call eo that many, many times.
Random shit No.9 -> NBD just sassy bfs in the soop
This is mostly for those who think Jimin is the only one who exudes this type of energy. π
π½π
π½
Random shit No.10 -> This post wouldn't be complete without us going to the bedroom. π Anygays, here is how Jikook look like when they're shouting in each other's briefcases


That is all... hope u feel better now... have a good one βπ½π

Man was ready to throw hands at yoongi. Yoongi getting so awkward and saying it's just a game, hobi worrying and trying to get in middle LMFAO
He literally don't care who's infront of him, if you lay a finger on his Jimin you are done πͺ
No, listen, you don't understand. This moment is iconic. ICONIC! Its is THE moment for me. Like it so high up on my list for best Jikook moments of all times. I kind u not; for me its right up there with Rosebowl and Hickeygate. Honestly. I love it so freaking much!!!
Tweet
Not only was JK soooooo so hot for this, π₯΅π¦But it's also a we don't talk about Yoonmin moment. Always makes me wonder if he would have gone off like this had it been anyone else.
People like to say they were just messing around. No he wasn't! JK fucking wasn't. And you can tell this by how worried Jhope was, like anon said. Look at him following JK, ready to referee if something went down. And then look at RM signaling the staff. This was no fucking joke, guys. JK was ready to rapunzel the hell out of Suga. No cap.
I freaking love this moment. Best part, is Jimin over there acting like this whole thing isn't even about him.

Like Mimi wasn't even gonna step in or nothing π€π€ Doesnt that make you wonder how many other battles JK has fought for Jimin, while the latter just stood there watching like; you go baby, tell em! π€π€
I love this moment. I love this moment so freaking much!! It's in my top favourites no doubt about it.
I also find this moment here a bit sus.

I think its because Jimin flinched and JK who was behind Suga, steps forward a bit. Its not as intense as the frying pan one and I dont really think he was going to do anything but still... it was something I noticed.
Then we have this. No, its not out of context. I'll get some gifs for those without TT.
V does this and JK tries to get a closer look
The other angle:
I don't recall very well but I think it might even have been a skit for the ad, but Mr. Protective over here be like; "he better not be hurting my baby"
@chicknbunny13 amazing as always for coming through with the original. As you can see JK was so distracted watching Vmin they had to yell his name ππ
Sidebar: look how cautious JK is and y'all wanna tell me Vmin have never thrown hands? ππ moving on....
Point made, I believe. You are touching Jimin over JK's dead body. And let's not forget he doesn't react this way for other members.
Bonus.
After Suchwita all I can notice is how keen JK is when it comes to Jimin and hot food.
So here is another moment of JK not wanting hot sauce to hurt his baby. ITS 1. Domestic Jikook in the kitchen with Jimin looking like one of those classy, high maintenance wives from the suburbs π
JK warns him the soup is hot.


I mean, we've seen him punch a bell and beat up frozen meat for hurting Jimin so you crazy if u think JK is letting a human being hurt his man.
Thanks for the ask, anon π

Man, the drama around Tae's presence in AYS is so funny to me BC most of the takes are nonsensical at best. Did my man thirdwheel? Sadly, yes. Was jk annoyed about someone barging in in his Allotted Exclusive Jimin Time? Well, probably, judging by his reactions, a little bit.
Was any of them rude, or inconsiderate, or whatever vilifying adjective y'all are throwing around this week, for this situation? Absolutely not.
As an aside, EVEN IF it might have been slightly annoying to jk (the same way your sibling might annoy you by joining your activity, by which I mean that you might complain but in the end you're actually happy to spend time with them) it was incredibly funny TO ME.
I'm sorry you don't get the incredible karmic justice of it all, but to me it was SO funny.
Like, my man Taehyung has SUFFERED for ten years straight. This is the same man that had to clap his hands LIVE because jikook were literally squishing him on the couch with their attempts to communicate. This man is the man who had at least TWO circumstances CAUGHT ON TAPE of Jimin standing him up because he had to do something with Jungkook. We want to talk about the treatment he got after the infamous Osaka vlive? Poor Tae has been going Through It.
I think it was his God given right as one of their closest friends and someone who has suffered their... Whatever they do... to decide "I'm gonna crash your little work vacation". He DID crash it and it's kind of clear they were not expecting someone to actually come along for their travels, but that doesn't mean any of them is a villain???
At most this reads like ACTUAL sibling behaviour (both Tae crashing their little work honeymoon AND them reminding him "you're just a guest") that bears NO fucking impact on the clearly very loving relationships there are within the three of them.
Please, before spreading whatever narrative about any one of them being some kind of mustache twirling villain or bully, take a step back, take a walk and maybe you'll clear your head a little
#sorry to say but this fandom as a whole looks like its FULL of only children.#like sometimes ill read some takes and ill be like 'this sounds like siblingless behaviour'.#both in the 'but brothers act like that!!!' (PLEASE call authorities. im begging you brothers DO NOT act like jikook in bed)#(source: my own experience with my own younger brother)#but also in the 'theyre bulling X'#NO THEY'RE NOT! Or at least. They're not doing it cause they hate him!!! that's what you do with your own sibling!!!#im not gonna tag this bc this is drama in the making but its just so funny to me#i literally giggle every time i think about it

All things Walmart, poo, ticks and inspiration...
Spoiler alert but to hell with it, I know y'all have watched it all already.
Things I cannot relate to and will never happen to me:
β’ Pushing my cart down the snack aisle at Walmart and running into Jungkook searching for Tostitos and a sponge.
β’ Going out to the mailbox to gather the day's junk mail and two guys on a Harley drive by and wave at me and me not know it was Jimin and Jungkook.
β’ Hiking through the forest and not realizing that guy way up ahead swatting at mosquitoes is Jimin.
β’ Enjoying my lobster mac & cheese at a restaurant and not know Jungkook is discreetly (not so discreetly) staring at my food trying to decide if he wants to order what I'm having.
I didn't have time today to spend on this like I wanted to and I feel like everyone has already talked about the finer points they're most interested in so I'm going to just drop a few things that made ME laugh, smile and cherish the fact they even started this thing, this show. Episode 3 will be here tomorrow night (for me) so I don't want to delay this anymore so I'll be brief for Ep. 2.
Saturday, July 15:
They left the campsite and Jungkook got to ride the motorcycle. Jimin said he looked like a proper American.

They stopped at a park and hiked a trail. Jimin fought mosquitoes. It was brutal. I've seen people worried about ticks. And snakes. Jimin pointed out a spider on a tree. Jungkook fantasized about alligators. Tick inspections occurred all around later on I hope.


We didn't see the transition from woods to marina. Maybe they had to make a bathroom stop for Jimin. Or urgent care to get him some meds. Who knows. Poor thing was suffering.
On the yacht, Jimin was still feeling puny but he tried. He ate though he knew he was risking it all.
He horsed around with Jungkook with the beast still rolling around in his guts.

I really wasn't expecting so much poop talk during Are You Sure but here we are.

I think this summed up the yacht trip. Especially after how it all started with the excursion being leaked by the boat captain himself. Perhaps the editors did this on purpose.

FYI those concentric ripples in the images are my camera trying to capture the screen in a different frequency than the monitor refreshes or some tech mumbo jumbo. Apologies and please ignore. It's Disney's fault for not letting us screen cap using an app.
I think Jungkook was looking for ticks. He would take something like that seriously, don't you think?

But Jimin mostly slept on the yacht. He had a rough night before. They still salvaged what they could and they still seemed to enjoy the experience.
A trip to Walmart. On the way they have one of those rambling conversations where Jungkook, who is not the most talkative type, decides to talk Jimin's ear off. They talked about making music and what drives them personally in their choices about their work.


We'll visit that thought again in a minute....
The whole Walmart visit is surreal to me. I go to Walmart at least once a week so to see Jimin and Jungkook browsing the aisles just blows my mind. NEVER did I EVER dream I'd see them looking for bacon at WALMART.



They look just like anyone else pushing their shopping cart going down the cereal aisle past the boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Sugar Pops.
Jimin was a tad testy when JK disappeared. He even cussed him out. HAHAHAHAHAAA. BEEN THERE DONE THAT!!!


I know Jimin-ssi, why are men like that? I swear to god...
I saw someone say this sums up their dynamic perfectly: Jimin calculating in his mind how to work the self-check out while Jungkook does the helicopter cam above him.

You gotta give it to Walmart though, they do know their customer. The self check out is pretty self-explanatory.
The content of their cart:

TWO boxes of Twinkies???? And both Prego AND Ragu...

Getting to the AirBnb accommodations. Cooking. Chilling out before bedtime and Jimin lets Jungkook hear Who.
Horsing around in bed. You know, all these years, I've wondered how they keep the toothpaste spit inside their mouths while brushing their teeth? We've seen them brushing their teeth backstage, in the bathroom, walking around the green room, outside practicing choreo... HOW DO THEY NOT DROOL ALL OVER THEIR CUSTOM MADE OUTFITS? And now wrestling on the bed...

Waking up, JK and his frosted flakes. Jokes about abandoning Jimin...more horsing around on the bed. And then they doze off again. I know they did. Hard to tell but Jungkook is glued to Jimin's back.

Jimin gets to ride on the back of the Harley with JK. It starts to rain. I guess they were bringing it back to the rental place.
Going back to the store for a sponge.
I think Jimin was feeling much better. Looked like he slept better.
We see the Army who said they met Jimin and Jungkook last year. When I first heard about it I thought how lucky and random and what kind of stars need to align for that to happen??? What a great experience!!! When will it be our turn???
And then the next idea for Run BTS (the show)... hide and seek while shopping for specific ingredients to cook with and the twist is they're in a foreign country. WORLD TOUR RUN BTS!!! BIGHIT I HAVE IDEAS!!!! LISTEN TO ME!!!!
Its raining, dancing in the rain as they exit the store. They leave in the Jeep and head back to the house to eat their pizza.
Army in Connecticut won in life.

Then they start their journey back to NYC (I'm assuming) so Jungkook can go on to London and Jimin can head back to Korea. They stop one more time for lobster rolls and lobster mac & cheese.
That's when we see Jungkook contradict himself...


In the Jeep just a little while ago you said nothing inspired you. Was it the rain or the beer that was inspiring you? Or was it the head full of new memories and ideas about the next trip that were swirling around in there?
By the end of this trip, they are back in sync.
Their closing interview: JK wants to keep doing this until they're 50, 12 more seasons! JK said "practice being better variety show entertainers so the two of us can continue doing this" as motivation to continue doing this type of thing way into the future. Jimin found humor in that. And that's where we fade to black.
And during the credits, Jimin is eating again, spicy ramen, possibly the next day. Apparently his stomach is back in order as he readies to fly back home.

What a trip.
Deeper thoughts:
Jimin and Jungkook wanted to spend time together. We knew that. It didn't seem to happen when it could have. They even said so in the Jeep. But JK concluded the discussion succinctly:
Finally.
Finally they were spending quality time together. Though their talk was brief, we have no idea if there was more to it before or after what we saw of it. The editors showed us that much enough to explain the situation and why it had not happened. The end result of it all was: finally.
Finally, after wanting this. Finally, after saying we would. Finally... doing something together that we loved doing before and we've wanted to do again. Finally.
Jimin pushed for it. He knew. He made it happen. Finally.
They are two distinct personalities and their journeys through this solo era leading up to their enlistment were different.
Jimin is a leader and doer. He is the initiator. Jimin said if he hadn't pushed for this show to happen it would not have gotten done.
There were a few moments in these first two episodes where Jimin brought up MS. Jungkook didn't seem thrilled to talk about it.
They truly didn't know what they were going to film for this show. They got in the car and started to make it up as they went. I can see how that would be awkward.
They don't understand that just them being themselves is what we want to see. They don't have to try to make something happen. Its the spontaneous moments that make the best content (see kayak dump and Walmart trip). Maybe Jimin was more in tune with this than Jungkook was but he is the one who turns on a live and sits there and watches Netflix while eating chicken. They had to get back in sync and they did.
So the first episode was a little slow, a little cautious, a little quiet. Reserved. That first day they were finding their groove, getting 're-acquainted' if you will, finding the slots and spaces in each other that fit and feel the most comfortable to them. You could see them relax as the day wore on.
But, they still had challenges. JK's head cold. Jimin's stomach bug. You want some TMI's? Watch Jimin run to the bathroom for the fifth time.
We may see a little bit of this quiet re-acquainting when BTS does its first group live next year. And yes, I am 100% confident we will see this first live shortly after Jimin and Jungkook are discharged. We will see them in a way we've never seen before.
After both episodes... my conclusion is we saw about 2 hours out of the roughly 3 or three and a half days Jimin and Jungkook were together. Thursday evening, July 13 through Sunday evening, July 16. I'm not exactly sure when JK left for London but Jimin went back to Korea on July 17.
I wonder if the plan was to create hour long episodes or if there was so much they wanted to show the episodes just ended up being that long. They could have easily hidden Jimin's stomach issues from us. They could have edited a lot of it down. But in making the episodes this long, they showed more and more of their dynamic in play.
I didn't put everything into this post that I wanted to but we've got six more episodes coming and I still haven't had time to watch Run Jin.
Hashtags arent working... I'll add them later.
#hashtags are back i think#jimin#jungkook#jikook#kookmin#are you sure?#so much poo tmi i wasn't prepared#but its all in there for a reason#walmart is now a jikook pilgrimage place#that statement is crazy

What was your favourite part of AYS? Was there anything that surprised you? Or anything you didnβt like?
What a sweet question π₯Ί
My favorite scene was the train scene. From the moment they step into the station, bellies full and ready to travel, to the minute they step out back into the real world. It felt like they were momentarily encased into a little bubble. It is very serendipitous and a great conceptual way to tackle a practical problem by the production crew.
Seen as a whole, my favorite part was that AYS?! gave jikook the agency to embark on a favorite pastime while under the guise of work. An airtight excuse for travel before enlisting, but also one that has and will keep on serving them well. As a unit within BTS jikook need that veil of plausible deniability in order to be 'two dudes' traveling together.
It might also be my least favorite part of AYS?!. They needed a cover to travel together right before enlisting. I wish so very much they they can travel uninterrupted together. No need to document for the hungry hyenas (ie: me!) or to explain away why they spend so much time together. They can travel with us barely knowing, it's possible. They needed a good excuse to leave the country and this was perfect. But I'm sure they would have had a greater time if they did not have to censor themselves all the time.
Then again, I'm just nitpicking because the smiles were so genuine! They were so comfortable together. They get so much joy from seeing the other happy and smiling. It's basically a mobius strip of joy to have watched them watch the other be happy. It was just contagious.
Now, all that is left for me is to wistfully turn the pages of my photobook and watch them bask in the warmth of their little love bubble.
