Episode 7: Still Purple

Beyond the Star, produced by HYBE Media Studio

"Every single one of our performances was significant to us, they are all precious memories." – Jimin

The song Butterfly starts and I know this episode is going to be hard to watch because I'm already tearing up.

This is a long post. Apologies. There's a lot to say about it.

They are talking about what concert memories mean the most to them:

Hobi says it was their first stadium concert at the Rose Bowl which was the most significant memory for him as far as which concert was the most memorable.

Jungkook says it was Chicago when it was the first time they'd ever performed in the rain:

Jin says it's when they perform IDOL that is his favorite concert memory.

Jimin says even though fans would see what he's talking about through photos but in real life, what they see from the stage is so beautiful, words can't do justice to describe it:

They reminisce about their concert at the Olympic Gymnastic Arena and recalling the emotions they felt then, that they had reached the top in 2016 are a very precious memory to them

Concerts are what they were made to do. Their type of performance, the big choreography, the big songs... big performances... belong on the live concert stage.

And now we're at the series of concerts that were to be their last before they really embark on Chapter 2: PTD Las Vegas.

BigHit/Hybe pulled out the stops for this one. The city of Las Vegas was all in and being the party city it is, it was one of the most fun and extravagant things I've ever witnessed.

I 1000% regret not going. I didn't know it was going to be the last chance for a long time.

They get to do things like attend a few concerts and visit the Bellagio Fountain when the fountains of water are set to the rhythm of Dynamite and Butter. I know Hobi has a video of Jungkook and Tae vibing to Dynamite at the Bellagio Fountain on his camera roll! Show it to us Hobi!!

Jimin, Yoongi and Namjoon went to the Silk Sonic concert.

I think it's curious that they do not mention the 2022 Grammy performance or event at all. When they left Seoul for this trip on March 28, 2022, Hobi was not with them because he had tested positive for covid prior to departure. Jungkook wasn't with them because he'd left the day before for the purpose of a work schedule but I don't remember what it was, and upon landing in the U.S. he tested positive for covid and had to quarantine until he had a negative test.

They were to perform at the Grammy Awards show on April 3, 2022. They were missing two members up until the day before the performance. Thankfully Hobi tested negative in time to catch a plane to Las Vegas:

Jungkook tested negative the day before the performance and was able to practice ONCE with the group. Here he is doing a Vlive while quarantining in his hotel room:

And after all that, they gave a performance of a lifetime during the Grammy Awards:

Anyway... I digress... just curious they make no mention of it at all...

Jungkook brought his boxing coach (Coach Tommy) and this might be the workout he was doing prior to joining Hobi, Tae and Jimin for that Vlive following one of their concerts.

Jungkook says the only thing he regrets about the previous 10 years was that it took him a while to realize certain things and then put them into practice.

Namjoon wonders what it would've been like had they ended things after ON and Yoongi reflects that they would've taken a break from November 2020, if the pandemic had not happened and they would've been on a break for about two and half years (for enlistment). They didn't expect the pandemic to go on for so long (none of us did).

Namjoon wonders if he stayed true to the lyrics he wrote in ON while living his life. He thought they were running straight ahead all this time but as it turns out, they had gone in a circle and were back at the starting line. He contemplates what to do to run forward again.

The last PTD Las Vegas concert is bittersweet for all of us. So much has happened to culminate with this.

Tae says it's time for them to organize their thoughts so they can come back with a better image and performance and they aren't saying they are done, they are saying they've worked hard and now they need the time to grow.

And then we see Jimin in the car, on the way home after their last PTD Seoul concert on March 13, 2020. He is on the phone inviting someone over. Guess who?

It looks like he's taken a shower. He shows us a pot of fish cake soup his dad made for him. Jimin prepares three place settings, fetches 3 bottles of soju, and pardon me but the fact Jimin has a can of spray cheez in his auxiliary kitchen changes everything for me.

Why is he consuming that and why does he store it above the kitchen sink in is extra kitchen? Why do these expensive apartments have two kitchens? Jimin barely needs one kitchen but he has two...

Anyway, Jungkook arrives and they proceed to eat and drink.

While they are having a conversation about what time they go to bed and wake up, Jimin says he might sleep until 4 pm and then this ensues:

When Jungkook makes the remark that he sounds like Yoongi, off-camera, you can hear someone stifling their wheezing laugh. Staff camera man is in on the joke and the documentary editors are too as they cut briefly to Yoongi eating take out chicken.

The editors were wrong for that! HAHAHAHAH!

Then Tae and Namjoon talk about and show us their living spaces and how they feel living on their own.

Namjoon is very particular about his space and he says its very precious to him. He says the way one curates their living space speaks a lot about their personality and taste. I agree 100%. He says he wants to show us his space so we can know what kind of person he is.

Tae says he decorated his own space, commissioning art pieces for it. He has an extensive collection of vinyl records and puts on a yellow vinyl disc that appears to be Betty Wright, a recording of a live performance. He says boredom can be a given when living alone and he says he looks for Small but Definite Happiness in his daily life. SDH. We should all strive to do that.

Then we're back at Jimin's and Jungkook is cooking more food, chopping vegetables. FYI, that Miele induction cooktop is about $3,500.

Watching Jimin retell the story of when one of his friends pointed out that he seemed depressed, was not himself, was one of the most revealing things we've ever heard from Jimin.

And now he feels he's in a very healthy place. I'm gonna elaborate on this in another blog post when I'm done with this series.

All in all, the members had to learn to live alone after living together for 8 years or more for some of them.

Yoongi reflects on running so hard in their 20s. He wonders if they shouldn't have enjoyed themselves more and not let the pressures become overwhelming. Regardless, now that he's reached 30, all those worries and thoughts have disappeared and he feels liberated.

I've realized some of these interviews for these episodes were conducted on the day they traveled from Seoul to Las Vegas because they are wearing the same clothing.

Episode 8 coming soon... and more.

[peachjagiya]

Never believed that set up talk to have any real substance in terms of their overall closeness cause just a few weeks before they were filming Run episodes and seemed close as ever. And the Grammys happened not long before that either where many people speculated if the two dudes from that boy band are a couple cause they gave off the vibes. Or JK telling Tae to lean into him when Tae seemed out of it and Tae immediately laying his head on him (you know what moment I mean). Or them having the private 7 trip to that strawberry farm and Tae chose to post a pic of JK he took that day (one would guess they all got to speak privately if they would wanted to? They even talked about them talking from 8pm to 3am together that trip) and that vlive of Taekook that clearly had the intent to be labeled as awkward once again but it had them laughing, having inside jokes and saying Taekook (forever) about 10 times. Not to mention Tae saying ‘we can’t be friends’ at the start and them both laughing? As if he’d ever make such a joke if they would be distant and struggling in their friendship? And later on talking about Tae’s Father’s Day gift and JK (pretended) not to know and then Tae seemingly was like Huh? I showed it to you!!! And JK responded by looking at him in terms of ‘but they aren’t suppose to know that’ etc. etc.

and then just a few weeks later I am suppose to believe whatever it was they wanted us to pick up on this edited chat by the bonfire and that narritive if things being so different and awkward and how much Tae’s changed etc.

And as you also said, after that talk they seemingly went back to being okay within one night sleep / days - idk man, that just makes no sense but what’s new haha

All this! It just feels weird and doesn't ring true to me.

[5and3nevermind]

hey do you have a list of official BTS videos with yoonmin content to watch?

Hi anon! Sorry, I don’t have a complete list. There have been hundreds of yoonmin moments spread out over the years, so it would be a real project to compile a list of them all. I can recommend some, if that helps…

Ok, this is already a long list and this is barely scratching the surface. I didn’t include many Run episodes or their group vlives/lives or social media posts or concert moments or award show moments. And I didn’t link to anything…but these are (mostly) the real titles so you should be able to find them easily on YouTube.

Hope that helps! 💛

Sope 2022 Grammy’s…MEGA POST

In honor of the Scammys Grammys ceremony today, I’m dropping some Sope content from 2022. Because I feel like they owned that year, from the red carpet to the performance to the Vlive.

TW: it gets a lil’ fruity and there’s a lot little bit of pining ❤️

Let’s start with their obvious "we’re going to get married, sorry had to stop at this awards ceremony first" matching fits:

Cr.:@/Variety, @/sopehourly

And the ensuing Twitter Army jokes and such:

The post-show V-Live had some low key Sope angst…mostly from Hobi who is a terrible drunk and was flustered repeatedly…

Cr.:@/wispyoongi

Do y’all see this man literally try and shake the Min Yoongi-shaped thoughts out of his head? DID YOU?!?!?!?!?!

And Yoongi reminded us that, yes, you CAN get married at a drive-through chapel in Las Vegas 👀👀👀

In conclusion: Sope married, and the Scammys Grammys is only good if BTS is there, wbk

[ezamevolni]

Cryptic: Biggest Concern

Hi!!!

I haven't done a real post in so long TT I miss writing!! I vowed to do some properly this week but forces of the universe are at work to stop me (fever...forgot my hard disk...broke my laptop :')) But I finally got a few days of vacation! YAY! What better to do when sick and free, than to write about Jinkook eh?

So I'm doing a shorter (?) post on something I don't think I've seen many people commenting on. Of course, I could be chronically overthinking if I'm the only one that picked it up? haha. 🙂

JinJunMin~ Making Salad (3.13.2021)

Anyways, this instance is rather loosely connected to Jungkook 🧚🏼‍♀️

For context and relevancy: BTS were frequently doing unit Vlives after they were grounded since the start of 2020. They had less public activities so 'prescheduled' Vlives were an avenue for them to see fans, and for fans to see them. Sometimes the Vlives were fun because the members were absorbed into doing the activity of the day, other times it's fun when they find camaraderie in their shared reluctance to be there.

This salad making session demonstrated the latter - Jin already ate before the live, Minimoni were not salad fans so this trio by all means were just attending as part of their jobs. Happy to be there? That's asking too much lol.

For more specific context, the trio had been on the verge of an argument fallen into silence several times and were giving each other a hard time randomly jumping from topic to topic throughout the live.

When Jin was sarcastically hyping up the plate of chicken breast to the camera, RM abruptly decided to ask him how he had been doing.

The question seemed to stump Jin for a few moments,

Jin was stuttering, stalling, and racking his brain for something to say, then eventually landed on a work schedule as his answer. Then Jimin and Namjoon both chimed in about how they've been practicing for Grammys and actually saw each other the day before.

An assumption on my part, but Jin likely first thought about the section of his life that Namjoon didn't know about - off-work hours - and was filtering through for what he could talk about. I think gaming could have been a great answer. But Jin was caught off-guard, so I don't know if that affected his fibbing skills.

It could be something or could be nothing.

But the following in the middle of the live was quite the interesting convo:

The conversation had stopped and started a few times by now and Jin was filling in by talking about something salad related.

He brought up how some of the other members had salad recently.

Namjoon was paying close attention to what Jin was saying because he parroted him when he listed "Yoongi" and "Jungkookie"

RM: (nodding and repeating) "...Jungkookie."

And after a brief second of contemplation, Namjoon went ahead and asked, "Hyung, don't you have any concerns lately?"

Jin seemed to immediately know what he was referring to and answered, "For concerns, there's just the one thing."

Jimin seemed in the know about this as well.

Humming in agreement, nodding and suppressing a grin.

By now Jin had laid down his chopsticks. I think he knew what Joon was referring to. It was a pretty vague question, but it seemed like it had a pointed answer.

However since Jin didn't elaborate, Namjoon probed further.

If you've watched enough BTS interviews, you'd know the signs instantly whenever they all simultaneously think of something they can't say on camera and start smiling like weirdos.

Jin was still chewing but he was gearing up. He's about to say it.

As he went, "Of course," ...

that was met with instant censorship from Jimin ("Let's just stop, hyung").

I also noticed Namjoon's knowing expressions while he was waiting and listening:

Annnnnd of course, we don't get the real answer from Jin who said,

"I don't have Army in front of me during concerts."

Joon was laughing after hearing the line. Jimin also hadn't looked at the camera once since this conversation started.

And we know Jin just lied improvised a new answer because he retorted back at Joon,

There is another answer. There is another 'concern'.

He almost said it 🤌🏼 Just let it all go and say it Seokjin.. what's there to hide 😩

After Jin gave his answer, RM decided not to probe further since he knew the nature of that other answer. It can't be said anyway. So they agreed on 'armys not being there in person as a very important concern'.

And Jin of course turned the tables on Joon when he could

Ok, whatever this 'concern' was, it's very specific and I guess RM also had a similar ongoing issue that Jin knew about?

So to recap:

Jin mentioned Yoongi and Jungkook's names, Namjoon heard, repeated Jungkook's name and suddenly posed the question 'any recent concerns'.

Jin did have a major one which apparently everyone (but us) knew about. And it can't be said on camera. And the thought of it makes them giggle.

Lastly, RM seemed to have a similar concern.

So 🙂 I don't have an answer for what the mystery concern is, but I do have ideas. They are probably similar to your ideas right now. Or maybe we all have no idea.

But wouldn't it be funny if one of us was right ;)

Ultimately, if you want any take aways from this cryptic conversation, is that they tend to giggle a lot whenever they touch on topics related to ermhmm, taboo topics. It's not sad, dark or serious, but taboo. What else could it be.

[dearweirdme]

I’ve seen some jikookers say that during one of bts’ vlives after the grammys (the one where Jimin had purple hair), there was a moment where jungkook rubbed his nose and then a couple of seconds later, Jimin rubbed his nose. They take it as some type of communication between them. I’m not too sure about this. I feel like it could just be a habit they both had, so Jimin seeing jungkook do it made him do it.

However, I do remember the two posting a video on twitter I think (it was years ago though) where they both were just purposely rubbing their noses. I can’t find the post right now though.

Also, I hope the jikook asks aren’t annoying, I just like seeing some non-jikook shipper explanations to some things that happen since the only explanations are from jikookers who think a lot of the moments mean something.

Thanks! 💜

Hi anon!

I’m going to be honest here, because I always want to be… for others but also for myself. I’m not digging these kind of questions. Because really.. communicating through nose-rubs? And you are not too sure? What would the communication be? Can Jimin and Jk not keep it in for the duration of a live and they have to communicate through rubbing their noses? Think realistically anon, this is really, really not a thing.

I don’t know if it’s only you, or some others sending me asks like this as well, but I’m not going to be discussing things like this.. it’s just, if it’s not obvious to you that this is just jkkrs coming up with stuff I don’t think I can do much in general. What I would advice you to do at this point is to stop watching shippers content and go watch the actual footage. Don’t zoom in on details to much, but just look at how Jimin and Jk and Tae interact. Go with the thoughts that gives you, and not with the thoughts of some analysis made for shippers by shippers. Details like nose rubbing are really not important at first. Go for the patterns in behavior and once you’ve made a judgement on that maybe (maybe!) look at details from time to time.

THE GAYEST GAY I SAW THE OTHER DAY Or: 2020 Grammys VLive PART TWO

Where was I? Oh yeah. ORIGINAL CONTENT FOR TRUTH AND CONTEXT HERE:

And we'll pick it up around 9:35.

He's about to go in, kids. It's at about 9:40 in the original VLive which is in part one of this post. AND THERE HE GOES. Jeon Jungkook, main singer of BTS and worldwide pop idol, without a Jimin to settle him:

Jimin does not even blink. Hobi is unbothered, living as he did for YEARS with a Koo in Jimin's bed. At one point, somewhere earlier in there, Koo also went in on Joonie's hair and Jimin just glanced fondly in his general direction like "dammit these things are hard on my baby". Jimin handles "these things" (publicity, sitting still in general) much more easily than his man and he's quite accepting of that. Also he SAW USHER SO.

Fair's fair. Jimin gets to eyeball his crush, Koo gets to fix Namjoon's hair.

BUT OH WAIT it's time for... champagne!

Teleport Jeon to the rescue of the camera and his own sanity.

I think we can all agree that Jimin is absolutely worth staring at, but see the set of Kookie's jaw? Our mans is not happy because Jimin-ssi realized that he was Out Of Order (as per Bangwatch Behavior At The Grammys Protocol For Married Couples) and moves to the opposite side. It caused enough distress for Jungkook's tongue to try to make an escape via his cheek. I actually felt bad for both of them by this time, because while Jiminie handles placement issues better, kinda, he would always much rather be near his man. Especially when said man is looking FINE LIKE THAT and also suffers from either anxiety or boss-level ADHD. Jimin is Jungkook's center. Which: that said I have always wondered why Jimin is the moon and Jungkook is the sun when the opposite is actually true. Hasn't made sense to me for several years now. ANYWAY.

Look at them. All of them look amazing but I'm just busy noticing the champagne glasses. And also that, damn my image limit, Jimin went through two glasses in rapid succession and might have gone for a third. Because he too is tired and stressed and elated and he knows what's coming up next. STAMP COLLECTING IS GONNA HAPPEN. Philately and stress release. Both of those things.

Well fuck an executive order, Jungkook still has control of the camera and two three glasses of champagne ingested rapidly are at play and there is no frame that does not need the Jeon-Parks in it. Especially when there's a camera lens through which they can stare at each other. They think they're slick. They ain't slick. Fruity as hell but not slick in the least. Keep your A/B/O fanfiction to yourself (Jimin would be alpha in any event).

Jimin is also Over This Shit by now. Jungkook has moved the camera totally to highlight Jimin while ostensibly focusing on Tae, who is trying his damnedest to make a speech and is very cute and also pretty, but Jimin knows what his boyfriend is doing and obliges. I ran out of image space but there's a kissy face right about here, too. Jimin just.... loses it for a few seconds and it's adorable. The Jeon half of the household agrees with me.

Oh. Let the touching commence. "Fixing his jacket," Jimin? PFFFTTT HE WAS JUST TOUCHING THOSE PECS THAT'S ALL IT WAS AND THEN AND THEN JUNGKOOK GOES "Thank you" in English and it is THE CUTEST. They're just eyefucking now. Hobi needs another drink. And Yoongi, well. Yoongi ain't care, he is not even surprised, it's just Friday at the Jeon-Park house. Seokjin, though. He knows the rules. And Namjoon is not, this time, for once in his LIFE, in the middle. Exactly. FIVE GUYS ARE IN THE MIDDLE and no one is in the middle and this is what happens, PD-nim, when a Jeon goes rogue and STILL HAS CONTROL OF THE CAMERA.

So they wrapped it up. Because what other choice was there, sixteen minutes and twenty seconds into the Story Of True Love Kept Apart By Closetry And Public Decorum? You can't fight the War of Hormone with that much champagne. It's not possible. What you do is smile pretty and disperse, politely, lest there be another kissing-noises-on-video moment. I need David Attenborough to narrate the entire mating dance, for real.

The Grammy Vlive

The grammy Vlive, what do I say..so positive. Must watch Armys.

If you are feeling sad, or disapointed, about the Grammys, watch this. This will, make you happy.

They are so positive! How!

They thanked Army hundreds of times. TT

Namjoon understood that many Armys were sad, so he said us that they were good and we should cheer up! That we were their champagne! TT

Jin was very right that we are making history together. Yes. So proud.

Yoongi went on that they should work ‘harder’ to win. (Which I think is not the case but yeah.) They also said they were the first time nominees so no hard feelings at all!

Taehyungie said Next year!

They were very very positive, and didn’t want us to feel sad. So Armys, please cheer up and lets look forward. We know what an unstoppable force we are right? Watch the vlive. It will make your day a lot better. (Even though most of the armys already watched it i know :P)

Lets stay positive with them too! They want us to be happy, so we should also be happy right? Right. I know many are really sad (mad) about the Grammys thing, but, lets just let the sadness go. BTS really ‘really’ wants us to be happy. (They said it so many times in the live!) So pls try? Lets just be proud of them that they are Grammy Nominees! That ain’t a small thing!

“It’s okay come on when I say one two three forget it Erase all sad memories hold my hand and smile”

Happy Tumblr Anniversary to me

Exactly 1 year ago I started blabbing on this hellsite. A lot happened in one year...

• Oct. 2021: In the Soop 2: people were analyzing the clues Bam was throwing down to prove if Jimin and Jungkook lived together. And then we get this followed by an invitation to partake in ramen:

• Also Oct. 2021: Jimin’s birthday VLive when he made a phone call to JK (suspiciously staged?) and Jungkook immediately (less than 1 minute) zips up or down the elevator to join him briefly. 

• Nov. 2021: BTS historically wins the AMAs Artist of the Year Award and during that acceptance speech, JK had us hanging because “in 2022 we’re gonna focus on....” feeding jk some pizza…

• Also Nov. 2021: The PTD LA VMinKook VLive when Jimin and Jungkook officially name their (fake) YouTube channel “Mingoogie.”

• Dec. 2021: Jin unleashes Super Tuna on an unsuspecting world and surprised himself with an instant hit.

• Also Dec. 2021: the creation of individual Instagram accounts and we are blessed with a series of photos from Santa Monica Beach including this one... 

• Jan. 2022: The Hunger Games of Artist Made Merch began. 

• Also Jan. 2022: the world stopped for a week from Jan. 31-Feb. 5 when Jimin was admitted to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy and treatment for COVID simultaneously.

• Feb. 2022: Jimin finally is discharged from the hospital and goes home to recuperate and shares with us on Weverse that he’s watching “The Notebook” for the nth time. 

February was a particularly meager month for us as we did not get as much content as we had been. 

• March 2022: We discover Jimin’s new moon tattoo and his “Youth” tattoo behind his ear and we collectively freak out. And JK seems to have covered some of his tattoos…and we start seeing more nipples... the normalizing of naked Bangtan has begun...

• Also March 2022: Jimin blesses us with the “air ass slap” video. 

• April 2022 (the month that kept on giving): Jimin April Fools us by changing the Twitter handle of the BTS official account to Jimin Park and every post appears like this:

Also April 2022: The Grammy Awards... and Rolling Stone inadvertently reveal they are Jikookers:

Also April 2022: PTD Las Vegas...

May 2022: The Perilla Leaf Debate raged on... and proved they can’t be a couple because those darn leaves get stuck together. Ok whatever you say...

Also in May 2022: BTS is invited by the White House and President Biden to speak during our National Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. And they did amazing...(this photo is surreal)...(and we see you Jimin and JK)...

Also May 2022: Jikook just Jikooking in Washington DC at Dave and Busters? (courtesy of @uarmyhope). 

June 2022: The bombshell heard ‘round the world. BTS going on hiatus/not a hiatus, BTS embarks on Chapter 2... and oh look, Namjoon already said they would perform Run BTS (actually practically spoiled that choreography was being created for it) and right before this he sort of said old songs like Mic Drop and Fake Love might be popular with fans but they are ready to move on from them... go watch it again. Calm down people. 

July 2022: Hobi killed it with Jack in the Box and Hobipalooza.

Also in July 2022: They are THAT couple at a party...

Aug. 2022: VampKoo drops and Armys (who were in the midst of some sort of Werewolf fantasy) were in shambles...

Sept. 2022: Jungkook’s birthday WeLive (with his lil hairclips) and Jin’s interrogation of who came to wish JK happy birthday in person...

Also in Sept. 2022: All we needed was a leather-gloved hand to cause a massive orgasm within the fandom...

Oct. 2022: Jimin’s birthday... the thirst trap birthday wish/invitation/horn-fest...

And here we are, full circle. So much more happened other than what I mentioned here! But I hope everyone can see what has remained consistent: Jimin and Jungkook being together. Now we are waiting for the big event of the year, Yet to Come in Busan. We’ve seen the sneak peeks of them rehearsing and we know Jimin and Jungkook are STILL happily being in each other’s space. 

Also, the constant downplaying of what they are and have. So. much. energy. wasted. on that. Just accept it my friends. It is what it is. 

And these words I’ve seen more times in the last year than in my entire lifetime before BTS: hypocrisy and heteronormativity. And the big “H” word... homophobia. Attitudes and views that are sadly still prevalent. I will admit, I have LEARNED A LOT being here. If only everyone else were capable of opening their minds to ideas that might be different than what they think they know.

On a much brighter note, I’ve encountered many of you who follow my crazy ramblings and you have enlightened me, made me feel like I belong here, bring me joy and make me smile every day. I will keep saying it, I love you all. We are in this Bangtan shit together and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Looking forward to what’s to come.

Hello, lurker here again! Have so many questions and would love your brilliant takes on it. What is your stand on their living situation? The vlive Jk is currently doing appears to be from his own dorm. But news came out that he is getting a new house that will be done by May 2024. Do you think jinkook lived and will live together? Moments (from the Grammy vlives) revealed that they do sleep together, but other moments like in bon voyage (2019) where it's revealed only jihope visited Jk or like when Jk wrongly (?) guessed about the ice cream in Jin’s fridge, to name a few. So, wondering about that since if they are together, shouldn’t they live together as well?

You've asked many of the right questions, dear lurker ;D

I will have to do a few traces post centered around this housing topic to properly explore all the hidden trails. The number of drafts drummed up, I may actually be able to stretch these posts across the 2 years until 2025....

Their whole living situation.. is a mix of past, present and future decisions. And because I'm longwinded and like to pick everything apart...unfortunately I cannot answer you succinctly while also providing ample evidence and arguments for my claims.

But if you want some very bold, very insane statements, here's my takes:

One for the past: Their group dorm aside, yes I think Jinkook lived together sometimes. The 2019 long vacation is a special case in which there's a LOT to talk about, but to make it short for now...they probably didn't meet up during that time. Also, JK guessed wrongly about Jin having ice cream in his freezer...... Jin has more than 50 ice creams in his freezer! Yikes, big wrong!!! So unbelievable wrong JK was. So, so, so wrong.... How could he have 50 ice creams? And JK proudly showing the camera he was the only one who got it wrong. btw Jin also wrongly guessed that JK preferred red to white wine... 😱😏 (Thanks for reminding me of this video btw...it's very interesting ohoho)

Pro (?) tip: when it comes to Jinkook, try observing the other 5 for more clues as to what's going on. In a group of seven, not everyone will be in on the play and they're bound to give something away.

Two for the present: Jin and Jungkook have their respective places as of now. If you do some super sleuthing into balloon refections, spoons and irises, Jin's newlywed house doesn't look the same as JK's current apartment.

Hopes for the future: The timing of events is always impeccable with Jinkook. It's only speculation now but when the puzzle pieces fit together so well, who are we to still pretend like it's not a possibility? tbh I'm disappointed in how detailed the report on JK's new house is because it implies someone selling that information to the media. Not great. The floor plans should be something unknown to the public...especially with how he intended it. And along those lines, I'm not expecting to get any confirmation that they're living together after both are back. In fact, the less we know, the better for them. My final answer is yes, living together is their plan. As to whether that will be successful, would depend on how much the external factors affect them.

I hope the last sentence answered your question if they should be living together if they're together. They're not quite like us, where we don't have to worry about watchful eyes and physical lurkers. The risk of being discovered is so much higher if they did try to live in the same house long term. But my money is on success because they've already started to take measures to ensure their privacy and freedom.

On a personal note, I'm really going to be in this Jinkook shxt for life because they're the embodiment of that saying 'still waters run deep'. Anything they do is never a standalone, random decision. It's necessary to look at the real-time context, back in time and to anticipate more information surfacing in the future. Rest assured, they always leave us crumbs. 😌

But really, JK must not be planning to leave the house ever again when he's back after the two years 👾
