PHALEASEEEEE AJAAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

😂 Yes. The iconic MMA 2018. (Don't mind me admiring this moment) Also, JK's side profile...that's drop-dead perfect.

2018,2019,2020,2021,2022,2023. It's been a few years. But this specific day still is in our memories.

They had eyes only for each other that night

I'm talking about Jikook in MMA 2018. They were practically glued to each other that night.

This pic speaks for itself

Jungkook gazing at Jimin like he's the most precious thing in his life. Giving him neck massages and attentively listening to whatever he's saying

Jimin is no better. Blowing a kiss to Jungkook and immediately getting flustered by his own action

Singing these lines while looking at Jimin

Helping him sit. The whispering

The playfulness

The finger heart

Jungkook when Jimin was away from him

Jungkook's reaction to a fan shouting " Jimin marry me " 😅

In their own world when their award was announced

Fetching a water bottle for Jimin

Ending it with this cute video here where Jungkook says something to Jimin and makes him blush

He really is happiest and relaxed when he's around/with jimin

MMA 2018 still feels like a fever dream. Have never seen two people more obviously in love and flirting with each other like Jikook on this night. My man Jungkook couldn’t keep his hands to himself immediately Jimin was seated next to him and the whispers, stares, touches..,…….

Ah young love…..

PS: my favourite moment from that night was when Jungkook sang along to “ Only then” and started tapping Jimin’s leg at one part. Didn’t look like slot of subconscious actions like that really tell a lot about those two.

I didn't have a healthy upbringing so my views on love, trust, friendships and intimacy aren't positive. I always feel like i'm being lied to and that loving a person and having someone love you can't be 100% real or ongoing. I don't know why Jimin and Jungkook went with the buddy program, non of us do really...but it blows my mind nevertheless no matter if they are friends, lovers, married or exes. I've been following BTS for years now and one thing is clear to me, Jungook and Jimin are special to each other and for some reason can't seem to spend much time apart or struggle with it. It warms my heart to know they got each other like that. They are lucky to have what they have because not even family members or best friends or even couples can "click" like they do

***

I'm sorry you had that experience in your upbringing, and hope you're healing. It's wonderful jikook's genuine connection is also so clear to you. You see jikook and yeah, whatever they are, they "click".

And because you mention the buddy program, I'm going to go on a short tangent because I've been receiving asks about why I'm not participating more in this discussion.

I'm not keen on speculating on their enlistment right now (I know it's already been leaked and everyone takes it as a given, but an official announcement hasn't been made yet). I understand why people are concerned and curious, but I'm nearly certain this was a decision made with great consideration of all the facts at their disposal, and with the people most knowledgeable about their circumstances. A decision that, if I've pegged him correctly to be that sort of person, was led by Jimin himself.

Like I've said before, jikook to me are only doing what they've already decided is best for them, all I can do is support them.

So, yeah, those who sent me jikook asks about it, that's why I've been saving your asks for now. I'd rather not talk (much?) about it and I'm also not particularly worried or interested in speculating in the first place. Tbh..

Anyway,

Because it's MMA season, a throwback:

[dgtn]

Flashback to MMA’s 2018. There was definitely something special going on between Jimin and Jungkook that night; a private and intimate conversation taking place in front of everyone. And I would say that they are lucky to have found each other but I truly do believe it was SO much more than luck. They are truly destined to be together. Luv them and what they have together. And I love when they share little pieces of their relationship with us 💛💜🌈.

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.

[juliapark13]

How can anyone think Jungkook and Jimin are only friends? 🤷🏽‍♀️

How can people see this photo and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see GCF Tokyo and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see Jungkook getting hickey from Jimin and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see Jungkook sucking Jimin’s ear and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see Jikook at MMA 2018 and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see JK and JM changing lyrics from ~I still want you~ to ~But I still want you~ singing them together looking at each other and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see their body language and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see them looking at each other’s lips and think they are only friends?

How can anyone see today’s JK’s live and think they are only friends?

And they say we are jokers.

Those JM and JK being ‘subtle’ moments - Part 9

cr./to the creators and owners of the media used in this post.

Part 9 of maybe (?) more to come that is.

Or...

A page from JM and JK’s book of “How do we do the couple in the group without others noticing it (or so they thought)”.  

Been a while eh? I guess I thought it was time for part 9.

At this point I'm not even sure if I'm repeating or not, but let's be honest here for a sec... who cares? Right?

The hugs.  

You know, the ones that kind of don’t seem buddy buddy like, that just feel like MORE.

Moving on...

JM not so subtly checking out that hunky piece of JK.

And JM of course is not the only one to loose his cool

Like what was this for JK?

And if they are all about the fanservice, and lifting up JM’s shirt is for the fans, what exactly is JK looking at?  Or even more so, why is he looking? And that smile...

Those times they change the lyrics singing to each other.

This wasn't us JM was admiring.

Poor man lost himself for a second there.

I guess this needs no description.

Ties in with my "The terms JM has used to describe JK" post...

How subtle of you JK.

Now, the second one there, nothing subtle about that one now is there?

So, that second moment, not TTU one (that one I'm still on the fence about), JK was not being real subtle. But thing is, it would have gone unnoticed. Like many of their moments do.

And then, like many of those moments, once you have noticed them they are anything but subtle.

And if we are on the subject...

The kiss blowing

We had young Jikook blowing kisses and miraculously catching each other's kiss.

Can we call this blowing a kiss?

Jimin blowing kiss at 2018 MMAs

2020 Festa Karaoke

2022 Las Vegas concert - JM again

2019 concerts

1st one, ok now, wow there JK...

2nd one, well it's cut off but like many Jikook moments pretty sus.

3rd acknowledged by JM.

Is that a kiss JK?

Once again I've reached my image quota (Tumblr is just mean).

But you know what that means, don't you?

...

To be continued.

I am kind of feeling the next one will be a good one. Already have some ideas floating around. Hopefully no repeating, but then again, who cares?

[jkjm9597]

I made this post yesterday on x out of nowhere and I got to know a lot about how people became jikookers

It’s so amazing seeing all these moments that made them jkkrs

I loved reading all these stories with jikook🥹🥹and i know most of the moments are

-GCF ( jk really knew what he was doing by making gcf it was like a reveal and year before its release he tweeted that he looked at the lyrics before doing a cover and asked us to pay attention to lyrics of songs)

- Rosebowl , In front of thousands people, jk and jm were on their own world🥹jk reassuring jm and sucking his ear( you don’t suck your friend ear)

- 2013/2015 were lot said jk disliked jm( I hate it) he never disliked him and was mad when some pointed it out, he was just shy and young, and we got to see him being confident and more relaxed through the years

-MMA 2018. 🥺🥺Their interaction was so sweet and cute , jk was so hypnotized by jm my god 😭

-the tone they use for eo, I think we all know it, it’s the same tone I use when I’m talking to my boyfriend

-Jk’s possessiveness, I think we all love it 😂jk is an open book and transparent you can see when he is pissed and we got to see him being the biggest minimoni anti😂😭

-the ultimate video ( if there is some who never watched it recommend) the op really detailed every little moment, and it changed a lot of minds

- And something we have in common we watched all real contents and saw the dynamic between these two, we still don’t know if they are really dating ( I believe they are) but even if there are not we are still in the right way bcz their bond is a true one we know how they care for each other and they are each other same place.

And if people were really sincere with themselves they will see it even locals saw it, someone who never know about shipping always ask If they are dating so I dont believe that they don’t see it but they don’t want it because it’s/ so obvious.

-2016 live in Osaka 😂where tae went in jk’s room finding him eating naked and the music😭and after tae went there you could hear jm’s voice and the next day jimin was mad at tae 😂😂( it’s détailles in the ultimate video)

-the hickey😂this is so funny to me because you can give someone a hickey when you’re being turned on the air and have time to bite someone it’s just a story they made😂and the fact that jk didn’t want anyone to touch it but jimin 😭

-jk’s 2023 lives, i think lot of people to became jkkrs with that bcz jk really didn’t hide anything

- jm’s bday 2021 were he did the live in jk’s studio, cake made by jk( you’re my park filter can you think about the insanity of this?) jimin being a blushing mess🥺their phone call, how jk talked to him too smooth how jm’s voice was too sweet and hobi who represent us ( we got to know a lot bcz of him )

-Buddy system ( I swear I still can’t believe that they really enlisted) I’m still thinking about it a lot, nothing can compare to it

And all the runs, cute moments we got, the others gcf were jk took his time when jimin came on screen, the choice of the lyrics 🥺

And jk’s aura change when he is around jimin like he is not the maknae anymore like he is with the others hyungs, like he want to kill all things touching jm, and jm in the other hand just let his guard down a little and let jk do whatever he wants 🥺

Saw too lot of them were tkkrs or ynmrs, vminers but got to watch reals content Ms to see the difference and became jkkrs

Sometimes I swear when I think about one of those specific moments I’m just zoning out like “ my god they are really in love”

[akookminsupporter]

wait what happened between jikook at the MMA 2018?

just.. search jikook MMA 2018 and you will see.

[jikooklove9795]

Was going through ur last post it was amazing. I am curious though! What was *that* moment of realization to u?

To be honest I am in this jikook shit for years now and feel very refreshed and happy when I see more and more people share and celebrate their relationship

Lots of love❤️❤️

Hi Sweetheart! Thanks so much for your kind words.

The first ever video I watched of BTS was their Dynamite MV. In 2020. I loved it! Everything. The beats, the choreography, their outfits, their voices, their sync. Everything! I started watching everything related to Dynamite. And that's how I stumbled upon the behinds of their MV. I loved how loud and fun the members were. How enthusiastic they seemed about their job.

By this time I was able to tell which members were which. It took me almost a week 😅 It was my first time watching anything Korean. So, I kept getting confused about who was who. However, Namjoon was easy to spot. Maybe it was his blue hair at that time. But by the end of a week I could comfortably identify all of them and got their names correct too.

While I was watching a behinds video of Dynamite I chanced upon this video here. And what struck me was the way Jungkook kept staring at Jimin. He was so into the staring that I doubt he heard anything what was being said until Taehyung had to tap him to get his attention. Not only that but I also noticed that Jimin felt Jungkook's stares on him and was trying not to look at him directly but still looked like he enjoyed the attention.

I got intrigued by what I saw and tried to dig into it to see if it was just a one time thing or if there was more to it. I watched a few Jikook videos on YT. And sure there seemed to be something but I realized all the members are touchy feely and super close with each other. But still the way Jungkook kept looking at Jimin in the above video was something else. It cannot be explained away with normal skin ship, affection or friendship. So, I decided to watch original content instead of compilation videos cause then I can get the proper context.

I saw all the big, loud Jikook moments: RB, GCFT, GCFS, MMA 2018. But what made me realize that Jikook are different, that they're a couple was when I started watching og content in chronological order. Starting from the pre debut days. I could see their story slowly unfolding.

Them being best friends and being fond of each other. Jungkook going up to seek Jimin's advice regarding him wanting to pursue a career in dance. We need to remember that Jimin was the last member to get in the team and Jikook knew each other for just 6 months at this time. But Jungkook still felt comfortable going upto Jimin for that talk and nobody else.

Both of them having a soft spot for each other. Jimin being loud and open about his fondness for Jungkook. But for me the more telling was Jungkook's behavior. Jungkook's constant teasing of Jimin (this is something I have seen a lot of teens do when they have a crush, want to get the other's attention but still not ready to admit that there is a romantic interest). Seeking him out, wanting to be next to him, wanting his affection and attention. All of it.

I could see the realization of feelings, the acting on it. By this time in almost every video, let it be backstage or even award shows Jikook were glued at the hip. They were constantly together all the time by their voluntary choice. Jungkook started openly enjoying Jimin's affection, he became more daring and outgoing in seeking out Jimin. He started enjoying his effect on Jimin. And was always coming up with ways to get more of that reaction out of Jimin.

There were grand gestures, most of it from Jungkook. Sometimes it's impulsive but most of the times its because he wants to show Jimin openly how much he's in love and cares for Jimin. He wanted everyone including us, fans to know that he sees and treats Jimin differently.

There's the living together theories (if I'm being honest its not a theory to me cause there's so much evidence pointing to it). Since we are talking about living together how can we not talk about sharing rooms in hotels. They're the only ones doing it. None of the other members are sharing rooms unless its decided by games that they have to share. The others are more than happy to have their own space.

By 2020 they gave an established, secure in their relationship vibes.

So, yeah for me it was all the og content when watched in that order which cemented my belief that they're a couple. A long term one at that. Who cherish what they found unexpectedly when they came to Seoul for their careers.

Once again thank you so much for sending this in 😊

Lots of love to you too ❤

[jeonscatalyst]

Sometimes i would just be sitting, scrolling through Jikook moments and then it will suddenly occur to me that

HOW DESENSITIZED HAVE WE BECOME TO JKK MOMENTS like... they would be doing crazy s***, we will gasp and scream and then next week.... move on.

How like how they do this to us?

Isn't their glass closet the strongest one?!! They know the art to hide in plain sight.

P.S. i just saw againnnn that JM name on JK chest with his smug posture.

Hi anon,

You know I was thinking about this recently. Thinking about the fact that throughout the years we’ve seen Jikook a lot of “crazy” stuff that we don’t bat any eye anymore. We have become desensitized for real lmao.

Even just from AYS, Jikook did alot which I am pretty sure if other ships did, their shippers wouldn’t have been able to shut up about for donkey years but Jikookers scream about it for 1 day and move on like it didn’t happen. Well I guess this is what happens when you live through stuff like GCFs, MMA 2018, Rosebowl, Hickey gate etc. Atp, I feel like Jikook could kiss on the mouth and none of us would be that surprised about it.

Jikook didn’t raise no punks lol.
