#jimin seaweed soup

[bunny342]

What if?

AND

What if? The Sequel 😘

Part One

I’ve watched the post Busan YTC WLive countless times. Certainly, the “Jungkook, marry me…” segment was sweet and funny with Jimin teasing Jungkook. But, this is where I wonder what was really happening?

PS—fun fact, I was on the Busan to Seoul KTX train during this Live-having just been in Busan for the concert!!

💜💜💜

But first, we need to revisit Run BTS Ep. 137. The members could phone a friend for the answer, finally, after Hosoek and Taehyung failed, Jungkook calls his mom to ask the title of a song snippet by Young Turks Club.

At first, JK’s mom, doesn’t know, listens a second time and states it’s “Affection!” Which was correct! Jikook is elated and Jimin shouts, “It’s me Jimin!!” Later we find out, JK’s dad provided the correct title.

And JK’s mom replies “Hi, Jimin—saranghae!!”

Then—fast forward to the WLive Busan YTC, where Jungkook explains his mother made him seaweed soup for Jimin’s birthday…

So—that’s what I’ve been pondering—follow me…

Is JK referring to Jimin’s mom as his mother —“My mom made because it was Jimin hyung birthday?” Were they together for Jimin’s birthday, and JK caught Jimin off guard? Well, I will continue to ponder 😉

It’s Jimin’s smirk at the end…😘

💜Borahae💜

Part Two

It was really bothering me… I knew Jimin yelled “Mother, mother” into the phone to Jungkook’s mom. But I couldn’t find it. Oh…but then I did—in the source material in the actual 137 episode—please enjoy 😉

PS: Thank you, BigHit producers and translators 👍

Yep…that happened. 🖤🤍🌞🌛

What The Perilla Leaf Debate Revealed. . .

The Maknae line is the “more” jealous line, whereas the hyung line is well...not!

Jimin, Jungkook, and Tae all expressed reservations with the question, “Is it okay for your significant other to peel Perilla leaves for a friend when you are there Or is it okay for your friend to peel perilla leaves for your SO when you are present.” JK was the most vocal about how this would 100% not be okay with this. The second most adamant was Tae. Tae was trying to convince everyone why this would be crossing the line by finding analogies like peeling shrimp and exchanging saliva via chopsticks. It was clear that JM too would not be okay because he tried to help RM see why this would be wrong...he also said why would my friend do it if I’m the boyfriend. 

The HYung line on the other end was confused as to why this was even a debate. RM found the conversation silly, Hobi reasoned that if we trust each other then such a thing shouldn’t be a big deal, Yoongi didn’t see it as a big deal unless there was heavy flirting involved, and Jin was the loudest about how this debate aggravated him because it wasn’t a big deal. 

Now why do I bring this up! Well I bring this up because people love to paint this picture of the maknae line being in this weird love triangle. Or mainly, toxic taekookers like to paint both Tae and JK as these nonchalant boyfriends. Tae doesn’t care about the fact that JK made a romantic ass vlog of JM or spends hours late at night with JM giving him hickeys, sucking JM’s ear right in front of him etc. JK doesn’t care that Tae self admittedly hangs out with Wooga squad more, doesn’t show up to his birthdays, and doesn’t mind not talking to him for two months. However, this debate shows if they were in fact dating...THEY WOuLD BOTH 100% care about all of this.

 TAe was salty about sharing chopsticks and peeling shrimp...he said he’d fight his friend if this happened. How much more upset would this man be about Jikooks NYC and Connecticut trip, Tokyo trip, late night hang outs etc, how they touch each other If Jk was his boyfriend? Tae would fight JM not say things like “I like you most!” 

Some might say well the same can be said of Jikook. Wouldn’t JM be jealous of Tae, if they were a couple? And to that I’d laugh. JM has no reason to be jealous of Tae and JK’s relationship because they don’t do anything suspicious. They hang out, go out to eat, talk to each other...they do things friends do! Have they shared a bed,...yes but they share beds with everyone...it’s also culturally not that big of a deal for two men to share a bed in Korea. They don’t do anything romantic together or exclusive. They are friends. JM wouldn’t be jealous of that. That said...if JM doesn’t like something he 100% says something. 

For example, BV S3 Tae and JK shared a room and Hobi I think came into their room in the morning and JK was at the foot of the bed hugging Taes feet. JM did not like that AT ALL. He chimed in and was like “what/?!?!?!”  Now we can’t control what we do in our sleep but JMs response was telling. He wasn’t pleased. Whereas TAe laughs and Jikook’s shenanigans and encourages it. He laughed at their rainy day story even though it sounded romantic, he laughed when JK said his mom made seaweed soup for JM’s birthday even though JM was not there, he laughed when he talked about thinking JM’s room was JKs, he grins when he mentions Jikook hanging out together late at night! THis boy doesn’t give any craps about who JK spends his time with because they aren’t a couple. Whereas JK and JM do care where the other is. JM said once that he gets nervous when JK doesn’t respond immediately to his calls or texts. When JM had to leave to do an interview he questioned him about where he was going and why. 

SO what did the Perilla leaf debate reveal? It revealed that this love triangle nonsense is not realistic. It revealed a key aspect of vminkook’s personalities...It revealed that if any pair existed in BTS it would have to be Jikook. Tae and JK’s reactions regarding each other don’t match how they self admittedly would react if they were partners.

Everyone get seaweed soup in their birthdays

Do you really think so, Anon?

I can't imagine you would say this if you had any idea of what life is like on a military base. I'm going to explain it to you because you weren't rude, just wrong

See, I'm not an asshole all the time

Let's start with logistics:

There are 360 THOUSAND soldiers in the ROK army. Just the army.

Have you ever seen a large scale kitchen that serves thousands of meals a day? It's a pretty industrial place, Anon, and everything - from the steamers to the spatulas - is scaled up in size to make sure enough food for comes out at set meal times.

The people who work in those kitchens work bloody hard. There's no time for fucking around when there are hungry soldiers needing food. I know this because my ex-partner was an army cook.

There's no table sevice in the barracks dining room.

Huge trays of basic food are set out and its a help-yourself system for the staples like rice and kimchi. But the soldiers line up with trays for the rationed parts of the meals, and the cooks serve those on a production line so they can stay within a set budget for meals.

Yes they have a buget to work to, and menues are set with a fixed number of meal varieties available.

Seaweed soup isn't on the menu every day. And they don't make individual batches for individual soldiers.

The cooks don't go searching for anyone having a birthday and present them with a bowl of soup. You know that, right?

For soldiers, a birthday is like any other day.

(Unless you're Park Jimin)

It's either on the menu, or its not.

Today it was on the menu. Today is Jimin's birthday. Could it be a coincidence?

Yes it could.

Is it likely?

I think not.

The 5th division has at least 10000, maybe 20000 soldiers. Included in that number are two of the most famous Korean men IN THE WORLD and one of them works in the kitchens. There's ZERO chance that the pair of them have gone unnoticed, you know?

I'm not saying Jungkook is in charge of setting out the menus, but he is charming, hard working, highly skilled and motivated.

He is the man who climbs mountains to fetch snow.

He's the king of grand gestures.

However it came to be, the menu for today - Jimin's birthday - includes the traditional birthday meal that a parent would usually make. (Seaweed soup is associated with postpartum health which is why it's served on birthdays).

So no, everyone does not get seaweed soup on their birthday. That would be like another country's military providing birthday cake for soldiers on their birthday. They get whats on the menu, they don't get a party.

It's the army, not kindergarten.

I hope that clears it up for you.

He Forgets Your Birthday

Jin x Reader

Summary: Jin just wants to make your birthday memorable, but what happens when life gets too hectic and makes him forget?

Word Count: 1.6k

Warnings: angst, swearing

A/N: Thanks to the lovely anon who requested this! Sorry it took me a little bit to get to.

Masterlist

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Life moved quickly with Jin, in multiple ways.

The first time you ever met, he asked for your number, fearing you wouldn’t cross paths again and he might not get another chance. You both said ‘I love you’ less than two months into dating, after he accidentally let it slip out during one of your first nights together, you even ended up moving in with him after less than a year when the apartment you were subletting fell through(or more accurately, flooded through, but whatever)

Things also moved quickly because of your careers. Sometimes days would flick by without your realizing, a week would turn into two before either of you noticed, and then suddenly it’s been nearly two months since your last technical date.

Despite your reassurances that you understood, Jin felt guilty at times for the two of you missing out on special occasions like holidays or anniversaries with each other, but one day he promised he wouldn’t let slip past was your birthday.

You weren't exactly a fan of making a big fuss for your birthday, but Jin wanted to make it special for you.

“I’ll cook,” He’d promised you. “I’ll make all your favorites, as well as traditional seaweed soup for good luck, and then we’ll do whatever you want for the rest of the day.”

“What if I don’t want to do anything?” You’d asked, raising a brow as you sat on his lap.

“Then we’ll do nothing together,” He’d replied, pulling you closer. “And have a wonderful time doing it.”

It’d been an easy promise to make when your birthday was still almost a month away, but as the days and weeks passed, things became increasingly hectic. Comeback season was drawing close, and with it came the pressure and chaos of constant rehearsals, video shoots, and promotional activities, leaving Jin little time to think about much else. Half the time you were already asleep before he got home at night, tiredly wrapping himself around you for a few precious hours before starting the cycle all over again.

He didn’t even know what day of the week it was until Jimin spoke up as they slumped against the wall, trying to catch their breath during rehearsals.

“Oh, how’s Y/n? Did they like their gift?” Jimin asked. “I haven't heard from them since I texted happy birthday this morning.”

Jin felt his heart screech to a stop as he looked over at the younger man, hoping he had misheard. “What?”

“The flowers you helped us pick out? I figured they would’ve-” Jimin’s voice trailed off as he noticed the growing look of horror on Jin’s face. “Tell me you didn’t forget?”

Jin’s whole body felt cold as he fumbled for his phone, stomach dropping as he read the date, and then the numerous text notifications from you.

His hands shook as he read your words, his heart pounding loudly in his ears.

‘You left this morning before I got to say it, but love you💖’

‘Do you know what time you’ll be home?’

'Ngl, I'm kinda excited for tonight, it's been ages since I had your cooking😋'

‘Jinnie? Is everything okay?’

‘You’re not coming, are you?’

‘You could at least answer your phone so I know you’re okay.’

Shit.

Sparing no time explaining to the others, he grabbed his things and bolted out the door, nearly sprinting for the elevators.

He couldn’t believe how badly he’d fucked up, you must’ve been so upset with him. How would he even explain himself to you? Would you even talk to him when he got home? He wouldn’t blame you if the answer was no.

“Y/n?” He called as he opened the door but the house was silent, all the lights off, the stillness seeming to loom over him as he kicked off his shoes.

Tip-toeing through the house, he caught sight of the bouquet of flowers the guys had sent you sitting proudly in the center of the dining table, their cheery brightness almost mocking him now.

As he neared your shared bedroom, he caught sight of a sliver of light slipping out into the hall from the crack in the door.

Peeking in, he found you curled up on your side of the bed, sound asleep, but he could tell by the puffiness around your eyes that you’d been crying, shattering his heart completely.

He slowly sank down on the bed next to you, gently brushing your hair out of your face.

“I’m so sorry, Y/n.” He choked, tears blurring your image in front of him. He felt like the worst boyfriend in the world, how could he have forgotten something like this?! He had promised you!

He’d always tried so hard to live up to his commitments and responsibilities in your relationship, no matter how small, but in the moment when it mattered the most, he’d failed you.

“Jinnie?” Your cracked, sleep laden voice snapped his attention back up to you, meeting your tired eyes.

“Y/n, I’m so sorry.” He said, crying in earnest now.

“ ‘s okay.” You said drowsily, too tired to fight with him.

“It’s not. I made you a promise, and I fucked up.” He said, wiping his face.

You didn’t speak, sitting up slowly and pulling him into a hug. As upset as you might’ve been, you couldn’t stand to see him cry.

You wouldn’t lie, you were deeply hurt, but it wasn’t just for you. You’d seen how hard he’d been working lately, coming home late sore and exhausted, bags under his eyes from fatigue. You hated seeing him so tired all the time, so stressed and not able to do anything about it. You knew that under normal circumstances, he would’ve never forgotten, but your lives weren’t normal.

“I’ll make it up to you, I promise.” He cried into your neck. “I’ll find a way.”

“Jinnie, I don’t care about the dinner,” You said, trying not to start crying again yourself as you pulled back to look at him. “All I really wanted was to be with you.”

“I’m sorry.” He whispered.

“Just come hold me, please.” You half dragged him under the covers with you, winding your limbs around each other tightly.

Neither of you spoke much as you slowly drifted off to sleep, clinging to each other desperately, needing to feel each other to be sure you were both still there.

When you opened your eyes the next morning, you found his side of the bed empty.

Sitting up slowly, you glanced around, questions only just beginning to form in your mind before you heard a faint noise from somewhere in the house, the scent of one of your favorite dishes drifting through the open bedroom door.

Still groggy, you climbed out of bed and followed the smell to your kitchen, where you found your missing boyfriend, his back to you as he stood over the stove, fussing at something he was stirring.

“Why are you so salty? I didn’t even add that much.”

“Maybe it’s just in a bad mood.”

He turned at the sound of your voice, eyes softening as they found you in the doorway, messy hair and sleep clouded eyes, wearing one of his pajama tops as a sleepshirt.

“I thought you were still asleep.” He said softly.

“What are you doing?” You asked.

“Fulfilling my promise to you.” He said, turning back to the stove for a moment as he spoke. “It’s not quite all of your favorites, but it’s a start. Plus, we’ve got the whole day to do whatever else you want to do.”

“I have work.” You said, not unkindly.

“No, you don’t.” He responded. “I left them a message saying you were sick and couldn’t come in today.”

“Sick with what?” You asked.

“Bad boyfriend-itis,” He said, coming over to hook his arms round your waist. “It’s a very serious condition, it requires a lot of rest and care to recover from.”

“You’re not a bad boyfriend.” You said quietly, fiddling with his shirt collar.

“I’m not so sure about that.” He said, frowning.

“Well, I am.” You pushed up on your toes to press your lips to his softly, making him melt instantly. You let your hands slowly trail up and around his neck, earning a slight shiver from him before you pulled away to look at him. “What about rehearsals?”

“I told them the same thing as your work.” He said with a slightly dazed grin.

“You have boyfriend-itis too?” You raised a brow at him questioningly.

“Are you kidding? I’m patient zero.” He replied, earning a giggle from you, making his heart swell as he smiled down at you.

“Go back to bed,” He said softly, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. “I’ll call you when it’s ready.”

“I don’t wanna go back to bed.” You said, wrapping your arms around his waist, looking up at him seriously. “I told you last night, I just want to be with you.”

“Alright then.” He hooked his hands under your thighs, boosting you up to sit on the counter with a surprised squeak from you. “You can sit here and be my lovely assistant.”

“I don’t even know what you’re making.” You giggled again.

“Doesn’t matter, just follow my lead and make yummy noises when I show you something.”

The two of you talked as he continued cooking, stopping each time he passed by you to leave a kiss on your waiting lips. Once everything was ready, you moved to the table, sitting close enough that you could reach over and grab his hand as he settled next to you.

He glanced up at you. “What is it?”

“Just thank you.” You said.

He tilted his head. “For what?”

“Being you. Being here.”

Jin felt the familiar twisting in his chest as he leaned over to press another kiss to your lips.

“Always.” He promised.

He wouldn’t make the same mistake again, he swore to himself, he would be there for you, no matter what else was going on. You were his world, his heart, and he would make sure you knew that from now on.

they’ve had seaweed soup for Jimins birthday 😭

And guess who cooks for them... when you're in a competition of being the most romantic and in love person in the room and JK walks in it's OVER

[jmdbjk]

Happy 29th birthday, Jimin

Dear Jimin,

I hope you are doing well.

I imagine Jungkook has wished you a happy birthday in person already and will happily make up a batch of tteokbokki for you. Maybe your mom and/or dad came to visit and they brought a pot of seaweed soup for you. Or perhaps Jungkook also whipped up a pot of that for today as well and you got to eat it with your fellow soldiers.

I wish you a quiet, peaceful birthday, the only one of yours where you are away from everyone like this.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about your well-being, hoping you and Jungkook are staying healthy and safe. I'm so glad you are there with each other.

It won't be much longer. See you soon. We all love you. Apobangpo.

P.S. Tell Jungkookie we love him too and can't wait to see him.

Birthdays made special

I think Jimin would never forger this thirst trap he received for a birthday message from Jungkook 😅 The breathy sighs, hair flipping, sultry eyes, the JJYAMAN, no honorifics, filmed in his bedroom at 4:40am KST!!! Made me think " Is that a booty call for Jimin??!! "

He even made the " bro " sound so flirty. And let me tell you this, there's nothing brotherly in that " bro ". Some even thought it was similar to Ryan Reynold's bday messages for his wife?

He even shared with us how his Mom made seaweed soup on Jimin's bday. Why? Cause he's considered a part of their family

He's always made Jimin's birthdays special. By doing things which he has not yet done for any other members. Not saying he doesn't love the other members. But just saying he loves Jimin in a different way to go that extra mile and do things for him differently.

Like, in 2021 where Jungkook flew to be in Jimin's live ( cause what do you mean he reached the studio in just 60 seconds from their company gym ) when Jimin asked him to join his bday live

And was it Jungkook who suggested those birthday banners? Those JM balloons and the yellow, purple combinations seems interesting 💛💜

And offering his own studio to Jimin for his bday live. And we still remember how Jimin became a blushing mess when Hoseok pointed it out right??!! What is it that he's not telling us 😅

And in 2019 Jungkook practically made a love confession through this bday tweet. Thanks to this account who shared it with us

Do I even need to talk about 2017??!! Their first ever Tokyo trip. About which they couldn't seem to shut up about. Practically talked other members' ears off with it 😂 Out of which a personalized and Jungkook's first ever GCF was born

Or how Jungkook got exposed by the other members cause he gave a birthday present only to Jimin in 2016??!!

That was favoritism at its peak. And it was so loud. The way he treats Jimin differently. Smothering Jimin with his love and attention.

Fanservice. Every single one of them.

right.....

I wanna eat it. * Points camera at Jimin *

so why did jimin get embarrassed and jk changed the subject "i meant the cake"?? commit to the joke boys 😡

Arrest me.

god give bts some acting lessons.

bc why tf did they leave jk hanging like that??? that wasn't cute or funny, it was awkward as hell. someone, ANYONE, pls just laugh and save me and jungkook 😭😭

Do you want Rameyon?

yet it was portrayed as "jungkook is still hungry" and jimin's insane ass responded with "i'm sleepy"..... just to go spend more of the morning (bc they're STILL awake at 6 AM 😐) with jk and bam....

ok sure.

Rabbit spit is spicy.

a convo between hobi and jimin

said rabbit with spicy spit was in the way back of the room.....

at least make it front and center if you're going to "play gay" smh

I will give him a kiss.

pls explain why joon looks like he's going to have a panic attack and slap both of jikook and tae changes jimin's answer to "50 white shirts" instead of "playing along" 🎤

You liked being tied up, don't lie.

meanwhile hobi looks disgusted with them

Runs fingers through hair, breathes heavily, licks lips before wishing his bro a happy birthday.

so why add the bro?

and why didn't bts make fun of it the same way as jimin's message for tae??

and where is jimin's response? seems like a lot just to not have said birthday boy respond 😔

was jk's mom also in on the fanservice with the seaweed soup?

interesting 🤔

Hickeys/Neck Biting

was not aware there was footage of said hickeys being made? anon where did you get that 👀 ???

why was jin not allowed to touch said mark? but jimin could rub all over it? why are the best two actors (jin and tae) in the group horrible at playing along with said "fanservice" for jikook??

why did jin not know what was going on with the picture that made jimin stay and continue the jinjikook live?

ear sucking

special shout out to the goosebumps on jk's arms for playing along

the lil head kiss and screaming i love you was a nice touch

tiddy slapping, thigh pinching, hand licking

you mean normal things between friends?? 😭

crotch footsie

just giving your bestie boners for fanservice 🥰

hands all up on each other's asses at every opportunity.

yes bc jimin damn near fingering jk is normal

You like me that much?

another awkward moment jk inserted himself into lol

I'm shameless, so is that why you like me more?

will actually pay for bts to learn to act bc what tf 😭😭

Jk starring Jimin down when he tied his own hands up and was being walked around on a leash.

jk once again all the way in the back

it'd make more sense for tae to be the one doing fanservice as he was the one pulling jimin around, but ok let's go with bs that i have to zoom in on to notice.....

Both getting in each other's face & lip space inching closer and closer til one backs off

so why does jin and hobi freak tf out and wipe their mouths?

do they (hybe) not have any new material for jikook? bc it's going on 11 years with the same damn bit 😓

actually i think we jikookers deserve better than this

also where is my travel show hybe? i'm not being serviced 😔

It's the way they call it fan service but every one's uncomfortable with it for me😩😩😩

Some fan service 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[jeonscatalyst]

Do you think it was Jungkook who made that seaweed soup for everyone 😭😭😭

Hi anon,

I am about 5 days late to this ask (I am sorry) but I don’t know for sure. I mean, I think it is definitely possible that it was his idea since he is a cook too and since they don’t make seaweed soup for everyone else on their birthdays but we cannot be 100% sure so this will go in the “Jikook maybe” pile.

It will be incredibly sweet if Jungkook actually cooked it for him though🥹

EDIT: (just adding this comment from @jkjmbtsarmy ) Supposedly someone’s brother in their unit shares the same birthday with Jimin and confirmed that it was Jungkook who made the seaweed soup. That the whole unit had it. And Jungkook prepared it a few days before Jimin’s birthday.

I guess Jk might have cooked it after all. This is so sweet!

[stupendousfoxthing]

So there’s something that has been bothering me for a little bit and it might be because I see alot of jokers and antis saying it but why do you think Jk is never as loud about Tae the way tae is loud about him? I know they are two different people who do things differently but the thing is, Jk can be loud about others when he wants to be but it just seems like when it comes to Tae, he just hardly ever feels the need to be. I’m thinking about him posting a picture of Tae for his birthday back in 2021 where he cropped himself out and Tae was the one who posted the full picture and later mentioned the trip. Why did he feel the need to crop himself out only for Tae to post the full pic? Jk also mentioned going Sky diving abroad but didn’t mention Tae at all and we only found out it probably happened in Hawaii thanks to Tae. I still remember how jokers dragged Tae because after the dream premiere Jk went live and spoke about the premiere but didn’t even mention the fact that he attended it with Tae even though we all knew they were there together but Tae woke up the next morning and mentioned Jk even though his Live was just about 3 minutes long. These things bother me a little bit because I know that Jk can be loud about people when he wants to be I mean he took a trip with Jimin back in 2017 and made a whole video about it but when RM asked him to make one of Tae too, he didn’t. We also saw how supportive he was of Jimin’s album in chapter two even though he was silent about tae’s but we all just had to be ok with the fact that he helped tae in private even though he does that for pretty much all the members or how he made that “thirst trap” birthday video for Jimin on his birthday but cropped himself out of a picture with Tae. He could also openly tell everyone that his mom made seaweed soup because it was Jimin’s birthday and all that so it’s not that he naturally just doesn’t show much because we know he is capable of showing off when he wants to but it just seems like he never wants to when it comes to Tae and Tae keeps being called a liar and worse because he is the only one saying things.

Shouldn’t things be more mutual? Tae says all these things but when Jk comes forth to speak about them he downplays them and yes maybe this is me letting jokers get into my head but I can’t help but wonder at this point. Jimin talks about how he is boxing with Jungkook and tell tae to try it too and Tae says he learnt boxing from Jk and Jk says no he didn’t learn it, it was just fun for him. Tae says he used to share a room with Jungkook in their old dorm and Jk makes sure to add that there was a divider in the room which separated the spaces, tae starts a Live in Jk’s house and immediately he leaves Jk comes back on Live to explain that he was bored at home alone and just texted the gc to ask who wanted to come and Hobi and Tae showed up. Why did he feel the need to explain this like he didn’t want people to get the wrong idea? He spent time actively promoting Jimin and said nothing about Tae’s album until much later and he didn’t bother to give any explanation (he shouldn’t) but when he liked Jimin’s CTT tiktok video months after it was posted, he liked it and then came back an hour later to explain that he just saw it, why? Even when Tae mentioned that he had recorded at Jk’s house, Jk answers a question and said how Tae “suddenly” contacted him to record at his place, but he had no issues being on insta stories answering questions about holding jimin even if people are jealous or talking about going to hug jimin in his room. I think the loudest Jk has ever been about Tae is when he went on for about 30 seconds talking about how handsome tae is but then again, who doesn’t call tae handsome? I’m probably just letting the haters get into my head alot but I cannot help it because when you see things like this too much it makes you wonder. What was up with him also constantly hanging out with Tae and then going back home to start Lives like he wanted to make sure everyone knew he was back at his own place after seeing him out with tae and did he also have to mention that he was left alone at a ski resort? Again just another instance of him unintentionally giving jokers a reason to drag taekook and Tae. I cannot help but feel sad about these things because I hate that Tae gets called a liar and I cannot even trust that if Jk actually ever gets to talk about this Hawaii trip jokers wouldn’t get more reasons to call tae names because Jk would definitely say something that takes away how sweet the whole thing is or that jokers can twist to drag tae.

It feels like Tae is so eager to show off Jk while Jk is so eager to take away the idea that himself and tae are more than friends. Liking a taekook flirty edit doesn’t cut it for me and neither does following a taekook fan artist. People could say he liked the edit cuz he thought it was funny and he followed the artist because the person draws pictures of him. I don’t know but it just gets a little exhausting whenever I try to genuinely enjoy taekook moments but the haters are so loud. I cannot even enjoy a Taekook moment that comes from tae anymore because I just know what the haters are going to say and it doesn’t help that the hate isn’t only coming from jokers but also from so called ot7s as well as solos. I saw a post on twitter with more than 50k likes from a Jk focused account of a list that they made of Jk’s fixations and Jimin was one of them, went through the quotes and saw so many people agreeing that Jimin was indeed one of Jk’s fixations because of how much they saw him talk about Jimin in the solo era. Taekook spent most of their time together in chapter two and Tae speaks about Jk alot so if a list was made like that for Tae, i have no doubt that Jk will be in Tae’s list but no one outside of taekookers would think of putting Tae in a list like that for Jk. So it’s like, Tae fixates on Jungkook, Jungkook fixates on Jimin and Jimin fixates on Yoongi/ Hobi lol. It just gets me so mad.

Sorry for the rant.

I know they are two different people who do things differently

There's your answer right there at the beginning of your essay. They don't owe us anything, and it they are in a relationship we're not actually supposed to know about it. They can have very different approaches to how they deal with their feelings about this, and that's fine. It's none of our business and it's not our place to criticize them for not doing enough for *us*.

We also saw how supportive he was of Jimin’s album in chapter two even though he was silent about tae’s but we all just had to be ok with the fact that he helped tae in private even though he does that for pretty much all the members

What are you talking about. I don't vibe with people who keep score like this, and I honestly don't think being a Taekooker is for you. I don't have anything else to say about this. If you feel this way, you don't have to be here. I am nowhere near this headspace and I don't understand it at all. So I'm going to leave it at that because I'm trying to be nice.

BTS MOMENTS: Jungkook & Grace - Happy Birthday, JK

He knew it was going to be a different type of birthday. Two of his hyungs were in the military, Taehyung was in Japan and he hadn’t heard from Yoongi, RM or Jimin (yet). He had been staring at his phone since the alerts had been coming in from ARMY across Weverse and Twitter, including TikTok. The world was celebrating his birthday as his clock ticked over to half-past midnight in Korea yet he felt a bit empty.

Of course, there were plans with his family later on that day and he was sure he would speak to all of his hyungs at some point but it just felt different. He felt a bit more alone than normal this year. It had felt different since they had all left the dorms - there was no military operation to secretly put up birthday banners, fill up the living area with balloons or have his favourite food cooked ready for him to wake up to. 

He didn’t hear his phone go off with alerts from everyone as he finally went to sleep, earlier than normal even for him. He didn’t clear his front door open then close, nor did he hear anyone move around in his living room. 

“Jungkook, come on, it’s time to wake up.”

The young man in question groaned and rolled over, pulling the pillow over his head. “Nooo emomma. It’s not time yet.”

The pillow was ripped away from his face as well as the covers. The birthday boy sighed and rolled over, expecting to find his mother there but instead, he found Grace watching him with amusement. 

“Noona? When did you get here?”

“Ah a magician never reveals their secrets,” she grinned as she reached over, taking hold of his hands and pulling. “Come on birthday boy.”

Of course he groaned and whined, stumbling out of bed as he was then pushed out of the bedroom and towards his living room. It was dimly lit but the blinds let in enough light to allow Jungkook’s tired eyes to adjust. 

His living room was covered in balloons - all different sizes and shapes, ranging from black to purple to white and there was a massive arch with his name across the back wall. A pile of presents had been laid out on the dining table and he could smell seaweed soup bubbling away.

“Happy birthday Jungkook,” Grace said as she squeezed his shoulders, turning him slightly towards the dining table with the presents. “Hobi and Seokjin sent theirs to me and I think they're going to call you later as well. Jungkook?”

He thought he had gotten past the crying all the time stage and he tried his best to stop but he couldn’t stop as he turned, pressing into his noona who said nothing but held him close. 

“Can I stay with you noona?” he whispered. “I don’t want to leave you alone. I don’t want you to leave me alone either.”

“I’ll always be with you,” she chuckled as she gave him a squeeze. “And don’t worry, I know you’ll always be with me as well. Everytime I go on that stage, I know I’ll have you with me. Your JK necklace will be on every night. Now come on, you’ve got presents to open and some soup to eat.”

“Thank you noona,” Jungkook sighed as he took a seat, his heart feeling lighter than it had in many days as he watched Grace bustle around the kitchen getting him his soup and something to drink, putting the bowl in front of him and then watching expectedly for him to open his presents. 

It would be a simple birthday but one he would cherish all the same. 

Happy Birthday Jungkook!

~Jikook’s families~

When I think about how supportive and accepting Jungkook and Jimin’s families really are it always gets me emotional. It must part of their destiny.

* This post isn’t about seeking validation from their families, it’s about true genuine support we were able to see.

1. Jungkook’s dad and brother and Jimin’s dad went with them to the airport to send them off to Tokyo in 2017.

2. Jungkook gave Jimin birthday flowers from jm’s dad.

3. Jungkook’s brother used to like jikook fanart on instagram and recently he opened a tag only for 1 jikook fanart.

4. Jimin’s dad used to have jikook photos in his cafe and he still has Jungkook’s cap in Magnate cafe.

5. Jimin’s dad recorded full Euphoria performance and he was smiling while recording it. 🥲

6. Jungkook’s mom said I love you to Jimin immediately when she heard him. 🥲

7. Jungkook’s mom made seaweed soup because it was Jimin’s birthday.

8. Jungkook said Jimin’s mom kimchi is really good.

9. Jungkook knows the date of Jimin’s grandma birthday.

Hey i hope you’re doing well,

I was wondering when jungkooks mum asked jungkook if he’s coming home for chuseok did she mean alone or was she also asking/insinuating about jimin coming along too? I just wanted to ask because it seemed like that was the direction their conversation was headed. But I wouldn’t be surprised if she did considering she made seaweed soup on his birthday and told him she’d love him too. Their bonds are adorable🫶🏽

Hi! :) Their conversation was super sweet. Honestly she could've meant with Jimin or just Jungkook, I don't believe there's any indication of a plural (nor singular- korean is ambiguous like that.) So really, it's up to everyone's own interpretation of what she meant ! Whatever it is, we already know she loves Jimin (as everyone does hehe)

[dearweirdme]

Why do I get the impression Jimin is Jungkook’s mom’s favourite member? 5 seconds into her call with Jk she was already asking about him and mentioned him again not long after that but even when Jk mentioned he was filming with tae too all she said was “oh really”? I mean I didn’t expect her to go “oh my darling son inlaw” or anything like that but she was much less enthusiastic about Tae than i thought she would be. I’m not saying she doesn’t like him or anything of that sort but her eagerness ti mention Jimin and her reaction after she heard Tae was just idk, weird to me if taekook are really together and I am assuming that she would know if they are.

This is the third time we are getting to know about how enthusiastic she gets about Jimin. The first time was during that call in run bts where she yelled out “I love you Jimin” or something like that and then when Jk said she cooked seaweed soup for her family because it was Jimin’s birthday and now this. All that doesn’t prove anything about Jikook ofcourse because it might just be because their families are close since they are both from Busan but I don’t know what it says about Tae.

Hi anon!

I don’t think three examples over the course of more than ten years can point to anything aside from Jk’s mother loves Jm. I do think their families are close because of being from Busan. And sure, perhaps Jm is her favorite out of all members. I still wouldn’t think Jm and Jk are in a relationship because of that.

I don’t think it says anything about her relationship with Tae. I also don’t think it means anything about Tae and Jk’s relationship. In practice it would be possible for her to like Jm more than Tae and still Jk being in love with Tae. But I don’t think we can say anything about how she feels about Tae, just because we haven’t heard anything.

I don't blame Jikook antis anymore cuz if I wasn't a Jikooker then I would've been extremely jealous of their romantic relationship. Like: 1- It always them going on dates in different countries i.e Tokyo, New York, Connecticut and so on.

2- Doing flirty vlives together. Brooo they are so gay 🙄

3-Being goofy when they are next to e/o😭

4-Jungkook's mother preparing seaweed soup for them including Jk because it was Jimin's birthday. Wait isn't that done when you're a couple? 👀

5- Looking at each other as if there is no tomorrow 🙄

6-This live where Jhope and Taetae spilled all the tea and Jimin looked so betrayed. *I think Jikook be listening to LANA DEL REY, btw do y'all remember that OSAKA Vlive 2016?* Lmfao

7- The hickey 🤦‍♀️ OMG!!! The way Jk was avoiding everyone who was trying to touch his hickey except Jimin and trying to give us fake explanations.🤦‍♀️🙄 Btw I wasn't convinced cuz the way Jk continued caressing his hickey 👀

8- Jungkook knowing Jimin grandma's birthday more than Jimin.😳 HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE???!!!! 🙄 *This app is beefing on me I can't upload heavy videos (Jk)* ☹️

9- The moment Jimin started flirting with Jk, me and you became third wheels 🙄🤦‍♀️

(THIS IS NOT THE END I'M COMING BACK WITH MORE CUZ THEY ARE SO EXTRA *𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐳 𝐲'𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭* MORE PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND INTERVIEWS DROPPING SOON) 🙃💛💜💕🦋
