When you said "Tae has always favoured Jimin’s attention" it made me think of the "I like you the most" moment on the Let's BTS talk show. I've honestly always found that moment a bit cringy/awkward bc you could see Tae was really honest and real telling Jimin that and Jimin didn't say it back and tried to cut the moment short by saying "I like you a lot too". Like that's NOT what Tae said. I get that Jimin was flustered and didn't know what to say to not hurt him but that was so awkward

Ah yes, that moment was… interesting, and as you say, awkward for several reasons, mainly Jimin's reaction. I remember there was a lot of talk about it at the time, and quite a few discussions here on the blog, but honestly, I don't remember what I said back then. After all this time, I think Tae definitely expected Jimin to say the same thing back or at least have a different reaction. I believe Jimin was partly genuinely embarrassed – not in a bad way – and partly didn’t want to say the same words back because he didn’t feel it. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care deeply for Tae or genuinely appreciate their friendship, but perhaps they see their friendship and what each of them means to the other in different ways.

If people paid a bit more attention to the dynamics of the maknae line, Jungkook and Tae are more in tune with Jimin than with each other, and they connect with him on different wavelengths. That’s why their dynamics are different, even though they might seem to have several similarities.

But the key factor, and sometimes the one holding things together, is Jimin. And I think Jimin knows this, which is why he sometimes seems like a passive referee between them and a peacekeeper as well.
