Remember You: My Happiness | MasterPost

Pairing: Taehyung x Female Character

Genre/Tags: Classic, Romance, Fluff

Word Count: 11.6k+

Status: Ongoing

Rating: Teen and Up Audience

Synopsis: With the ocean breeze silencing us, we remain unperturbed, strangely. She and I static against the moving waves in front, staring at the moon, the same inconstant moon she referenced from a while ago. But that was until something about gazing at the twilit sky stirred a familiar sentiment and prompted the cynicism I came to be for nine long years.

"I don't understand how people can easily forget the person they claimed to love once."

From afar, tintinnabulations of church bells chimed, providing for the delicacy that her next words carried, therefore contradicting my belief of offending her, as she said, "Whoever said about forgetting when one can remember them even if they choose to move on, Tae?"

The comfort of her smile wrapped around me like orchids blooming in early spring, tying me to the night for the next two months of summer. I inhaled sharply.

OR

Kim Taehyung, a 22-year-old intern at Seoul Art Gallery, experiences a waver in his opinions toward life and love after differing them with the perceptions of a specific woman he met in France.

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

i for once want to get the opinion of a "rational" jikooker who knows how to take a step back and take certain things for what they are and i wanna know your opinion or interpretation of jikook in chap2 and them not meeting and also that conversation they had in the car about that please.

And you thought I'm that rational person? Funny.

You know, there's something I always disliked about being in this fandom space. I mean, there's plenty of other things, don't get me wrong, but this one in particular really irks me. It's the need for approval, for confirmation of one's thoughts. There's a severe lack of independent thought. It might be hidden under apparent strong opinions, but when you look at how those opinions are spread to anon messaging to bloggers everyday, that's a sign that the complete opposite happens.

Jikook as a kpop ship always has to be questioned. At this point, I think it's part of its narrative as a ship. But what's curious (and stupid) is that the hardest line of questioning comes from the ones who consider themselves interested/curious. But make no mistake, this is not done for the sake of not becoming delusional and discard any rational thought. It happens because of the need for approval.

You sent me this ask because you hope for me to agree with your own thoughts about jikook and what that conversation in the car means. Not for them actually, but for you. And you're not the only person. A sure sign of fandom insanity is debating for over 2 weeks now a conversation that is not only heavily editated, it is mediated as well. It takes place in the context of a show for fans in which participants are two people who will never reveal everything about their lives. And on top of that, there's an intentional need to ignore that people can speak in hyperbole, that people can ommit or say one thing that actually means more or another that only the other person is capable of understanding the nuances of that.

Communication is complex. We do know that because we engage with it everyday. Except we forget all that the moment we have to talk about this specific ship. We forget a lot of things about human behavior, relationships, etc. It is an intentional act. So we start writing fanfictions. We start making relationship timelines. We start taking about temporary or definitive break ups of a ship that hasn't even been confirmed as a couple. At this point, shippers operate into this alternative universe sphere, canon adjacent but instead of doing it on ao3, they use their blogs and anon messages for that. But hey, fanfics on ao3 are a lot of the times the work of talented writers, while 500-1000 words essays on tumblr are simply a complete waste of time after the first paragraph.

Is this what you would consider a rational perspective? Or should I start writing down a timeline of all the times in which JM and JK have met in "Chapter 2" up until NY in July? (As if in reality their lives are actually separated that clearly, as if a break in band work completely defines their personal lives, jesus christ!). So, should I note down all the public events that they've been to? And to draw a conclusion from it to prove or disprove that the amount of times they've seen each other is reflective or not of what they said in the car when they left for their trip? Of course, we should ignore that there's an entire life outside of what we see.

And that's the thing, you know? We all supposedly agree that they actually share little of their lives with their fans, but practically? The fandom doesn't really give a shit. Because of the classic parasocial relationship we have developed that makes us believe we know everything there is to know.

What we are allowed to see and what we hear from whispers here and there should allow us to realize that no theory over a supposed relationship is better than the other. Believing they are just friends, that they have broken up, that they are fwb and so on is in no way more rational that believing they are together.

What does this mean? If none of us are wiser? It means we have a choice. Some are choosing to be losers or little bitches crying in anon asks about their "insecurities" over a ship. Some are choosing to look at this ship as a duo that includes two people who have really good chemistry and who match each other's freak.

I've always been in the latter category, I thought that was obvious and I've said it before. If one day Jimin makes a public statement that he's marrying the love of his life, a sweet girl that is also the mother of his 5 secret children, then so be it. And if one day, Jungkook shows up one day after he decided to run away and join a bike gang where he met his boyfriend, then so be it. If somehow that next day, a jikook clip would turn up on my tl in which Jimin is brushing his teeth while straddling Jungkook, my reaction would be "well, jikook fuck. Often". You know why? Because for me, the public life of stars and what they choose to share is entertainment. A travel show, a wlive, concerts, these are all forms of entertainment. I do not consume my entertainment by being a loser on the internet, pondering if my assessment over two people might be fucking is real or not or is approved by other people.

hi Rosie:-) was wondering if you had thoughts on how tk became the most dominant ship in the bts fandom?

recently showed a non-army friend some classic run bts episodes, a few clips of jks funny/chaotic lives and also all the gcfs on YouTube. They was surprised when I said that jm/jk get a loooot of hate across the entire fandom - as an outsider looking in, they really didn’t understand it and said even briefly from seeing a few interactions that clearly these 2 had a close connection.

said they had a travel show coming out and they said people must be excited because it sounds fun but I had to explain some are even trying to boycott it 😂😭

As a babyarmy too, just don’t understand how jikook became some disliked/hated when every other one is accepted and tkk is considered the norm.

Have a great day!

Honestly, this is a question I've asked myself more than once. I know that Jungkook and Tae used to be close, always playing pranks and having fun together. In the beginning, people didn't really notice Jimin and Jungkook, apart from observing that they got along very well. But tkk was a very active duo in the early days of the group.

After that, I think it might be because they are attractive? Maybe, I'm not sure. That seems to be a predominant factor for the shippers of that ship.

As someone who entered this fandom without knowing anything about ships, I was surprised that this ship was so popular and that there were people who genuinely seemed to believe it was real. As I said, they were quite an active duo, but I think it's notable the time they started to gravitate towards other members. New dynamics began to grow stronger and different.

I think, for many members of the subgroup, it's a matter of "manly man + manly man." It's also an aesthetic issue, I think? I can't be sure.

The shippers of that ship are different. And different isn't always good. They stay afloat on baseless theories, edited photos, and lies—pure and simple lies.

I've always believed that Jikook is as disliked as you say because they make a lot of people uncomfortable. The other BTS ships are really just ships, in my opinion. Some may make you do a double-take, but generally, you can feel confident that you're seeing what you want to see or interpreting what you see the way you want to. I'm not sure if that makes sense. With Jikook, that's not the case. They have done and said things that break the illusion of "I'm seeing what I want to see" and enter into a reality—something real or with a real possibility of being so.

Many in this fandom have a certain fetish for same-sex relationships. It's almost like a taboo, something "forbidden," as such, it's fun because they know or believe it isn't real. It's a "game," and Jikook doesn't fit into that. That's why this fandom, in general, is always quick to justify, explain, and, as a last resort, OT7-ify everything Jikook says or does. That's why many people are quick to scold others for being "weird" just because they say Jikook is real. Jikook makes them uncomfortable; other ships do not.

Something that haters or Jikookphobics still don't understand is that no matter what they do, Jimin and Jungkook are not going to stop being who they are. More importantly, they are not going to stop interacting the way they always have. It didn't work in 2019, it didn't work in December 2023, and it’s not going to work now.

[not-goldy]

i don't remember if you've talked about it but what's your theory on why jikook couldn't meet much that time? was it just Jimin being super busy or do you also have smth else in mind?

Oh I think we've talked about this no?

1. I don't think they weren't talking or hanging out at all post solo because at some point they had to discuss military plans and other things.

2. So I feel whatever they were bickering about was over a specific period in the time-line and how they both felt or dealth with eachother being busy.

It's clear from JK's POV he felt emotioanlly neglected and abandoned by that whole situation.

And Jimin doesn't fight much for his needs most times but dude lowkey pushed for it this time around so you can tell it's something that bothered him too🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

They both blame the other for not reaching out in that period. And Jimin tried to explain that even while busy he still made time to nurture his relationship with Tae. I feel that was him showing Jungkook he was open to connecting even when he was busy however it seems in his POV the ball was in Jungkook's court to be receptive of his initiatives.

Its a classic case of giver taker dynamics gone wrong due to miscommunication and insecurities.

Jimin is the emotional giver, the one responsible for taking emotional action and initiatives to nurture their dynamic while Jungkook is used to being the reciever.

The problem with that is, the receptive one can become complacent. It's easy to assume well since he is the giver he should always be the giver and since I am the reciever I should always be reciever.

So even when Jimin is busy he expects him to multitask and still meet his needs. It's a huge challenge with most men actually. It's not unusual for a man who is used to his wife or gf cooking cleaning etc to expect that always from his wife such that you could literally be popping out twins from your vagina and he would want you to cook clean for him😩

I think Jimin expects dynamism in their emotional roles at this point in their lives. Which is not to say he wants to perpetually switch their "roles" in there but he wants to see and feel emotional growth in their relationship 💀💀💀💀💀

Jungkook would need to step up. I suggest he goes to therapy with Jimin and read some self help books because we can't lose this one he's such a catch🥺

And I feel he can be blind to the fact that Jimin's ability to give is entirely predicated on Jungkook's emotional availability to recieve.

The one thing a giver wants more than anything is reception. He can't keep giving when you are blocked or not receiving its emotionally exhausting.

I've always said, Jimin has a lot of love to give. That's why Tae is holding on to him for dear life cos that man wants to be loved too💀

Jungkook however doesn't need much you know💀

Wait haven't we discussed this before????

That's not saying he doesn't need anything at all. Clearly he do. Obviously.

The disconnect is where Jimin starts closing off because he feels he's not being recieved- that's the 2nd stage of emotional disengagement and if thats what's happening Jungkook and I are fucked😭😭😭

Shit I can't breathe. Park Jimin dont you dare😭🤺😭

So basically Jungkook is feeling a withdrawal on Jimin's part and Jimin is feeling a blockage on Jungkook's part.

Good thing they are in Military service together. If I were Jungkook I'd beg that man not to leave me 😭😭

Like Jimin, whatever I'm doing don't leave me😭😭😭

I mean Jungkook

[jeonscatalyst]

Seeing others from other kpop fandoms say Jikook are the first and only idols to ever enlist together through a buddy system and that no one will ever top that, speaks volumes. These people don't give a flying flip about Jikook, but they acknowledge what they did was massive and will pave the way for others to follow in their foot steps. Seeing those who don't even like Jikook or not part of the BTS fandom, say that alone proves they are the closest vs your own fans and fandom being like meh, its no big deal, who cares. Proving every day, everyone in this fandom are homophobic, Jikookphobic and closeted shippers, shipping others low key and pretending not too. Seeing others want and wish for joint enlistment for their duos wanting (YM, Vmin, TK, Minimoni, Namkook etc) and think they were gonna get it and beg for it, with multiple proofs and not get it. And now pretending its no big deal, that it proves they aren't real, fanservice, forced blah, blah, is classic gaslighting 101 & hypocrisy as its finest. It must suck not being a Jikook fan. Not even a shipper, just someone who genuinely loves and supports them, cause we always thriving and never have to beg for the bare minimum, cause their bond is strong and unbreakable and they always prove it. Enlisting just solidified their strong bond and the entire world now sees that. Sorry you can't relate. Some people just prefer to live in misery, I guess. We will never be the same.

I can only just imagine how much it would have been talked about and celebrated if any other pair enlisted together. We definitely wouldn’t have heard the end of it but the way it was crickets in this fandom because it was Jikook who did says alot about how this fandom feels about Jikook as a pair.

Jimin and Jungkook deciding to enlist together was a significant move that deserved to be talked about more and celebrated more not only because it spoke of how close those two are but also because jikook were the first idols to ever enlist together. Regardless of whether people see their bond as romantic or not, it should be more than obvious that they wouldn’t have even thought of enlisting together if they didn’t have a very close friendship. Everyone was shocked as hell when they heard it because before Jikook did it, many people didn’t even know there was an option like that but the way they concluded that Jikook only did it because of their tattoos was so shitty of them.

People in this fandom prayed on bended knee for taekook to enlist together but when that didn’t happen and Jikook did instead, enlisting together suddenly didn’t mean anything. What’s new anon?

[heartofbusan]

I'm calling it.

Bonus live clip for Muse will be a vid directed by JK.

😃🤡

How did I get here?

Lemme drag you into my pit.

Streets are saying (the voices in my head 😃) that the pictures from the preview all feature Summer activities.

WHAT IF MINKOOKIE TRAVEL VLOG MUKBANG BUDDY COP SHOW is 3 or 4 episodes filmed across several seasons. Spring in Jeju. Summer in Connecticut. Fall in Busan. Winter in Tokyo. 🤔🤔🤔 I'm iffy on the timeline as I am not a walking encyclopedia Parktannica, and we have no confirmation that the Jeju trip is even a part of the travel vlog, so just indulge me here.

For all we know the whole travel vlog could be a twenty minute bangtanb and the remainder of my hopes and dreams stored in a rust can hanging on to the back of a motorbike by a string, dragged along a dusty bumpy road. WHO KNOWS. NOT ME.

But! From the little we have seen, it does seem like a very 'buddy buddy' go traveling together, having fun before enlistment type of vibe. From the little that we saw.

What really surprised me was the timing. If it's dropping on the 8th of August, it'll be the closing coda of Jimin’s MUSE promo. NO BIG DEAL. NO NEED TO FREAK OR ANYTHING. Why would a travel (show, clip, video, ten episode series, saga) where two bro's travel to beautiful natural (romantic??) destinations, shown right after a second album about rising like a Phoenix after having endured a tough time while a special someone is supporting you, waiting for you, leading you to blooming and who makes you act bold. Longing to share your love for said muse, featuring lyrics like:

why should that be a big deal AT ALL??

Nope. It's just jikook jikooking after all. They are the masters of framing their work around the other. They make sure to include the other in nuanced ways that leave one seriously questioning ones sanity.

That's why I think Muse and the travel vlog overlapping/butting up against one another (no pun intended) is VERY much in Jimin’s wheelhouse. He is the master of revealing nothing while suggesting everything.

So, if it turns out the live clip is a live rendition of a song from MUSE, filmed by or with JK. Done conveniently while the two were traveling to a beautiful destination together?? Details never or rarely to be mentioned again? Classic Jikook.

If it turns out that none of the above is correct, I'm sure it'll be something equally as crazy. Something my mind is yet to conjure up.

I'm glad at least that we're finally counting down to this thing. 😃😌🤡

10 Jikook Moments That Make Me Say "There is no way Jikook is not real"

You know how sometimes when you are watching some Jikook content you get the random thought that says "How in the world is this even real?!?" For reals. A lot of Jikook moments are just...magical. They are something else. Real "I am you, you are me" (I really like that phrase, can you tell?).

Some moments legit have no explanation other than it's 2 people who are in love and are together. Together? Forever. Forever?

So here is my list (In no particular order, except number 1 and 2. Those moments are just the top moments for me):

10. Jungkook melting

This particular scene left a huge impression on me. Jimin caresses Jungkook's face and Jk closes his eyes and let's the touch take him. Its romantic.

There is no way on Earth that 2 people can touch each other like this and not feel anything remotely similar to love. No way.

Sure, friends with benefits can do it, or just friends can do it, but to get to this point where your face is caressed and you MELT, that's undeniable love. Touch with love elicits this sort of response. And we don't only see this in this scene, there are tons of others where the same thing happens!

(Like in yesterday's Jikook hug. Jk melted into Jimin.)

9. Mma 2018

A classic, right?

Have you ever seen any 2 other idols do this? It's like they forgot the cameras and all the people existed and poor Hyunjae next to them raising his eyesbrows left and right lol The guy seemed traumatized lol

They let their romantic thoughts win. Jk couldn't get his eyes off of Jimin. He even wanted to help him sit lol The way he looked at him. Like he wanted to kiss every inch of his face. His eyes spilling love.

I've watched this so many times and I stare at my screen in disbelief everytime. But I get it. Sometimes the moment is then and Jungkook and Jimin lived it.

8. You are my Park Filter 🥰

We are only supposed to watch unedited content, right everyone? So if you want to watch the whole live, go to weverse. This is a nice summary lol

Every respected Jikooker needs to have watched this, in my opinion lol

Jk is being the best boyfriend he can be and comes running the moment Jimin calls. There is lots of hand holding, soft tones in their voices, and very boyfriendy vocabulary being exchanged according to k-army, smiles, laughs, an appearance by their best man Mr. Hobi.

I watch this and it's like omg, they are happy together. And it makes me feel all happy to 3rd wheel along lol

If that doesn't convince you, maybe Jimin's shy shy shy face will!!!

7. Finger heartu 💕

It's not the finger heart that makes me think Jikook is real...but Jimin's reaction. Like no Jungkook, we are supposed to be chill in this concert...

And then Nam in the back tying his shoelace, that is already tied, but serves as an anti anxiety technique when dealing with Jikook.

It caught Jimin by surprise, like all these grand gestures Jungkook likes to surprise him with.

6. Jikook in their wedding suits...just kidding. Jimin losing himself when looking at Jungkook

First of all, omg. They looked handsome that day. There was a lot of Jikookery going on in these awards.

And then I see this scene. I feel like it's rare when Jimin lets his guard down and allows us to see him melt like this over Jk. I think Jimin just forgot about the cameras. His sweet smile and soft gaze for Jungkook only got softer when Jk looked at him too.

Then reality hit and back to business casual.

My point is that you don't forget that all eyes are on you unless more important eyes are on you. So many people were watching, but to Jimin, the ones that are the most important are Jungkook's eyes. And the same can be said about Jungkook.

5. 2315 in PTD Seoul

2315.

But that's not all.

In that same concert, Jk also referenced the numbers:

BUT that is not all...

After that concert, Jk had a quick live on Instagram and he referenced the numbers in his own way:

0:56 seconds: "Finally, in Korea, in 2.5 years, feels like 23 years, we finally had a concert in Korea. We got to do it..."

23. I was trying to figure out what the 23 meant since he referenced it twice. And one twitter discussion said that the was referring to 2300 days. That made sense to me. Has anyone heard anything about this number?

But going back to the 2315....

So k-army did the math for us and found that 2315 from March 10, 2022 (PTD concert) is...

November 08, 2015, which many believe might be the start of Jikook or a date that seems to be very important to them.

There is just too much persistence from both Jk and Jimin to show us what 11/8 means to them. It's like the are silently screaming it for us to understand.

4. GCF Tokyo

If Jungkook still mentions it, then so do we!

Everything about this date captured on video is literally that...a date. The video doesn't even show Tokyo...just Jungkook's Jimin and he decided to share that with us. Not for fan service or because he was forced...but maybe because "I'll be loud for you, but you gotta be there for me too..."

Jk, the hopeless romantic, organized this whole trip and focused only on Jimin, another hopeless romantic.

Whenever I hear of people saying this video doesn't have romantic tones, I leaves me baffled.

After I played this video for my partner, before they knew anything about Jikook, they were like "So are these guys getting married?" Lol

The Jikooker anthem! Let's all watch it together and cry of happiness!

Boy, I'm holdin' onto something

Won't let go of you for nothing

I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you

There was a time that I was so blue

What I got to do to show you?

I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you

Runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you

Runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you

Said, I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you

But you gotta be there for me too

3. Rose Bowl Ear Nomming

Friends don't do this. Friends just don't. No one does other than a significant other or someone who is interested in you romantically or sexually. Friends don't do this. I cant think of anything else to say lol just...Friends don't do this.

And then the aftermath photo doesn't lie either:

2. Euphoria

So I saw this observation in another blog but haven't seen anyone mention it. During this live, Jimin was playing everyone's song while doing Legos. He listened to Euphoria and afterwards, kept humming the melody and smiling. And after a while he says:

Why would listening to Jungkook sing remind him of being at home? It's not like Jk sings all day and night. It's not like Jimin has told us before that he listens to Jk sing about 8 hours per day...wait.

So yes, this moment is up there because Jimin's subconscious is telling us everything.

1. J-hope's Album Release Party

Ok, hear me out. In the bangtan bomb, we saw this for a total of 5 seconds max.

But this moment is LOUD. This right here should have been the end of any speculation. For reals, when I think about Jikook moments this is the biggest moment of them all. Why?

Well, because Jimin and Jk were just minding their own business in a little corner of the entire place. A little dark and cozy corner. From what we can see, their hands touching and being close enough. No one was around them. Just 2 people wanting to be close to each other.

And we've all seen this or lived this. At a party, when 2 people are hitting it off, they seclude themselves and people give them space and let be them be in their own bubble. Except that in this case, the camera caught them. Seriously, camera man? What was the reason!?!?!?

And we get Jk's face of "are you freakin kidding me?" Jimin getting shy and looking at Jk for reassurance. There wasn't supposed to be a camera or anyone around bothering. This was Jikook in their most natural state.

We also have to remember that this is during Jimin's time when he was living in the studio making FACE so Jikook wasn't spending as much time together. Jimin was taking a day off here and one thing led to another...and they are holding hands lol

And I love this moment because people don't get to say "you only have moment from 2018" "they are doing it for the cameras" "jikook jikooked when they were young but they got it out of their system" "so and so should have been there too so it wasn't a jikook thing" blah blah.

For me, this moment is it.

Watch the entire bangtan bomb and check out how Jk kept tabs on Jimin in the scenes where we see them together. And the same with Jm keeping tabs on Jk. Also, this photograph:

There is a better version of this photo but it's so edited that you can hardly see Jk.

Anyway, this is my number 1 because there is no way that this is not real.

Phew. It was hard picking...

I might need a part 2.

[bookscandlesnbts]

Songs that Remind me of Jikook Part 1

While we wait impatiently for the Jikook travel show, I thought it might be fun to share song recs that remind us of Jikook beyond the classics: There For You, all the other GCF songs, Own It, Body Electric, Serendipity, Magic Shop, Still With You, ect. You can use these songs to add to your playlist or when you listen to them, you can think of Jikook too! I have three recommendations in this post.

1. Agora Hills by Doja Cat.

I know Doja is controversial and so is her partner BUT this song bangs y’all. The beat is nasty and the lyrics are so so Jikook coded (to me). Screen shot of one of the most Jikook-esque parts of the song but honestly the verses fit so well too. We know how much Jungkook and Jimin love to brag on each other and gush over each other. And sometimes they even get a little wild *cough Rosebowl and hickey gate and footsies*

2. Call it What You Want by Taylor Swift

This song is the only one in Taylor’s discography that is extremely Jikook coded to me. I screenshotted my favorite part but again, the whole song screams Jikook to me. The “trust him like a brother” lyric feels like a dig to anyone who screams that Jikook are brothers as a form of coping with the fact that they definitely aren’t. And I love the whole concept of Call It What You Want being about speculation about a romantic relationship and the two lovers don’t care you can call their bond whatever you want but they will still love and support each other. If that’s not Jikook idk what is.

3. Coma by Caroline Polachek

Okay, hear me out with this one because if you haven’t heard of Caroline Polachek (she’s the least mainstream on this list) then I promise you are missing out. Caroline is amazing. Shes definitely experimental, so if that isn’t your thing then you probably won’t like this gorgeous 5 minute song, but I’m obsessed with it. Her voice is so ethereal, the instrumental is busy but addicting and the lyrics are simple but effective as hell. Overall, the song gives a wholesome lovey dovey vibe that truly feels like you are floating. It reminds me of Jikook because when I listen to this I imagine this is how they feel being with each other for so many years and truly “I am you, you are me”. If you give this one a chance and love it, let me know. I stan Caroline so hard and think everyone should experience her genius. Her whole album Desire, I Want To Turn Into You top to bottom is an art pop masterpiece.

Feel free to comment or reblog with your recs! I want to create a fun Jikook playlist with the classics and songs that generally remind me of them. I’ll do another part when inspiration strikes and I��ve got more recs!

[naneun-no]

An absolutely adorable journey:

Actual tweet so you can see the vid she’s referencing, but it’s the classic walking necklace grab.

Also love the thread of people commenting, sharing how they came to realize that Jikook was… well, Jikook.

[slaaverin]

You belive in tarot right? I have read some tarots who implies they're not in any kind of romantic relationship as in cause those tarot readings are done of their s/o. Yes they have great bond, chemistry and they care for eachother but idt there's any romantic feel to it. I remember this one tarot reading someone had linked and it's from that kpopreading acct who's most of all readings are right and ig in one of the readings (ig ppl asked her about rs btw him and xyz members you know could be shippers) she said that it has happened two times now that she's got some card in both tae and jk's readings and that card indicates both of them are heterosexual. She is professional and doesn't really do what shippers expects from those readings though cause she keeps it till friendships and doens't really dwell into the romantic rs of members with eachother but yeah she's said it. I remember her readings of jm comics true as well.

Do you believe jkk are dating or have/had romantic feelings for eachother?

Hello,

Thank you for your ask.

Personally I tend to look at readings from only one person. When you see readings from many different people it can depend so much on the reader. The cards themselves don't really lie but from one reader to the next the interpretation can really be vastly different and so it can get all muddled up.

I personally only read bluemoonpunch's readings. I've always had an intuitive pull towards hers, and she read for me privately as well, so I have no doubts on her capabilities. Her readings always confirmed as well my own observations about BTS, like she says stuff I intuitively already know.

That's why - even if I absolutely love tarot readings - I do not look up other readings for BTS. It's like when you do a personal reading for yourself, if you do not like the cards you get, you're not supposed to start over to get other cards, what you get is what you get and that's it.

Absolutely no judgement to you or anyone that does this, but to me people who look up many different readings are more close to prying into BTS than anything else. There's a fine line between being interested to learn and violation of privacy. (I get it, we are all curious).

That's only my perspective and opinion, but to me it's best if you stick to one reader you absolutely trust and resonate with, and draw your own conclusions from it.

As for your second question.

Yes I personally believe jikook are in a romantic relationship. Is it a classical one? An open one? An ungoing one? Or however you may classify, I don't know. That is their business.

I don't believe this because tarot cards told me (bluemoonpunch never said they are in a romantic relationship, even if you can read between lines of course).

I believe this from my own observations, after watching all the BTS content that exists.

It is not one single thing that makes me believe those two have romantic feelings, it's thousands of moments and things and words put together.

I believe it so much so, that to me the contrary would be more impossible.

And I know it's a strong word to use - but it's true.

I'm in disbelief many people don't see it already, when it is so in your face and plain as day. Because what would be the alternative?

A relationship like theirs, with so much romantic connotation, that is simply friendship? It doesn't exist. Like people in real life they don't do it, it's too weird. However you turn it and make it make sense in your head, it just doesn't make sense.

There is no alternative to me.

The playfulness, the skinship, the closeness, the flirting, all of it could still be explained with a deep friendship, alright.

But what about the sexual undertones?

THIS.

How can two friends have that much sexual tension? Sexual jokes? How can a friend be such a shaved legs enthusiast? And butt? Why a friend would pull up his tongue in such a sexual manner to tease A FRIEND? Why make jokes about them tying each other up?

You can't make that shit up.

The sexual undertones of their relationship makes it romantic to me.

Because everything else you can pass it up as very close friendship at best, if you squint and wanna be blind.

But the way Jungkook wants to devour Jimin it's not something a friend would do.

And I know that's so little examples from me, sorry for my shit memory, but there are tons and tons of sexual moments between them, so this plus EVERYTHING ELSE. I MEAN????

What more do you want from them? To kiss on stage?

Jungkook already SUCKED JIMIN'S EAR. That's somewhat even worse because what kind of intimacy you need to do this? Even with my boyfriend of 9+ year it's not something that would come to mind.

You need to be really. fucking. close. to do this.

Ahhh I don't know what people want anymore.

Everything they say or do screams couple. To me saying it now out loud would be like? useless. WE ALREADY KNOW.

Anyway I went on a tengeant but I hope you get my point.

To me they are indeed in a romantic relationship and the recent travel show only confirms it even more (i didn't think it was possible??). I'll make posts about the travel show when I will have settled into my thoughts.

But I can't tell you what to think anon, you need to make your own mind about this.

Take care 💜

hiyo you have a post on jungkook letting jimin win which is super cute but one of the moments you mentioned was the photo taking game. I don’t think jk meant to let jm "win" there 😭😭😭 he had no idea it would be a difference of like 1 or 2 points to contest last place with jimin when he announced he had a confession to make. ALSO (u mentioned this in a different post) I rewatched the badminton moment a LOT it's so funny and a classic ???kookmin??? moment and I just want 2 point out that the shuttle never even hit jimin, it hit the net 😭 and jungkook still got mad at yg bc jimin cowered LOL

Posts you mentioned:

It's extremely possible he had no idea just how many points he was about to lose. The temper tantrum was hysterical 🤣 my poor baby.

Thanks for bringing these moments back up, these posts were super cute 🥰🥰

Jikook Week 28 Complete ✔️(18/06 - 25/06/2024)

Their twenty eighth week in the military is now complete and time to celebrate this milestone with a look back at this week in 2020. This really was a jikook extravaganza week. I've never seen so many classic jikook moments all fitted in one week before.

BTS were in the lead up to the release of Map of the Soul 7 The Journey on the 14th July 2020. This was their fourth full length album in Japanese and their eighth studio album overall.

This week a series of photos to accompany the release including these two stunning pictures of Jimin and JK.

Stay Gold was released on 19/06 and this live version on the 22/06.

Also this week, BTS Music Journey Part 1 and Part 2 were released with them talking about their seven years since debut. When asked to say something about Jimin, Jungkook had the following response.

JK: "Jimin-ssi ...... are words necessary" JM: Yes, words are necessary"

JK: "I'm always watching you Jimin-ssi" JM: "I'll work harder"

The interaction itself and Namjoon's reactions in the background send me every time.

Twix Link

Finally on 21/06, it was the jikook - we are gimbap chefs live parts 1 and 2 and afterwards Jimin posted this photo on TwiX. It was the epitome of domesticity and ease and reflected how comfortable they are with each other. Part 1 was the dry run and Part 2 was when they put what they had learned in Part 1 into practice.

In Part 1, they laid out ingredients including Perilla leaves - yep the same Perilla leaves that caused a heated debate in the MBTI episode.

They fielded marriage proposals from ARMY which led Jungkook to swiftly change the subject. Egg gimbap anyone.

Then they got on with the serious business of cooking complete with dramatic soundtrack and sesame oil mishaps.

JK was teasing Jimin and dropping honorifics left, right, and centre...

..and couldn't contain his laughter at Jimin's gimbap slicing.

Not totally satisfied with their initial efforts they launched into Part 2 which went very well indeed.

Cr. to OP

So great to watch that again.

DATES MATTER

They matter a lot. But if you're Korean, even more so.

That's one of the first things you learn when you get a bit involved in Korean culture (to understand BTS better). 

First there's the language and the hyung/dongsaeng thing (although some still struggle with it LOL), and soon after, the couples' culture (anniversary calculators, wearing matching outfits, celebrating Christmas together, seeing the first snowfall, etc.).

I'm not going to say I don't believe the boys when they say something. I tend to believe them all the time...I promise!🙄😂  .... But I know they also have to omit certain information and can't be totally honest.

If Jimin says he doesn't attach importance to dates like his birthday, or Valentine's Day, or White Day.... I won't say it's not true. But I can't help but contextualise this statement, given that he is talking to Army. No one will expect him to say... "oh yes! I love celebrating Valentine's Day!" 

Excuse me Sir, with whom? (would be the next question).

I also can't take his words as "giving a shit" about those dates, because looking back, I think we all know for a fact that birthdays and milestones do matter in Jimin's life... and Jungkook's.

We have seen them in a video on February 14, 2017 wearing matching jackets (something very Korean).

https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/831441471203004416?s=20&t=2fNRjVTroiMzzZrTh8JoVA

We've seen Jimin come back sooner from a trip to Japan in 2018 on February 14, and later going out to dinner with JK.

Jimin has not skipped even one of JK's birthdays.

Nor JK's Jimin's... because even in 2020, when JK didn't post on his bday on twitter (to anyone all the year indeed), rumors of them were heard during those days (in the break they had after MOTS online).

On White day 2022, Jimin posted his famous pic on Instagram. The first one with a member. 

Days later we all saw the leak pic on Najujib.😎

Curious that on White day 2018, JK dedicated a song to “Army” 

A cover that, soon after, he would hum at the MMA 2018, while massaging Jimin, telling him lil secrets and so on.... (I won't describe them because those scenes are from the first grade on Jikook issues, hehehehe..)

And this vid is a classic:

I don't go into recounting the times jikook has dropped that 11.08 is a landmark date, because there are so many wonderful posts about it on Tumblr. But I can't resist giving some examples

This, not counting, the number of times they've posted at "XX days" from November 18, 2015. This is one of my favorites.

Jimin posting on the Japanese fan club a present from him to JK. 

811 days since 8th November 2015.

And the last one (from Jimin’s side) too: 

They can say whatever .... nobody is going to change my mind: THESE BOYS CARE ABOUT DATES

Actions speak louder than bombs... sorry! WORDS! 💛💜

It's Jikook Week!

Today is Favorite Pictures day, so strap in (or strap on, no kink shaming here) for some pretties. These are all classics, I think.
