Jungkook & Jimin – Tarot Reading: How Are They Getting Along?

I was contacted by Hybe and was added to the fanservice contract LOL🤭

BSsing aside:

I decided to do a brief tarot reading to check in on how Jungkook and Jimin are doing in their connection, and overall energy with one another. This is not meant to pry, but to see what I receive what’s naturally present between them right now.

Let’s begin.

8 of Pentacles

This card immediately gave me a feeling of mutual support. The image of the branch and the spider shows that the branch happily gives the spider a place to build, and the spider weaves something meaningful from that support. There's a sense of building something, working toward shared goals, whether in life or career. I get the vibe they have plans they want to grow together but also giving each other the space to pursue their own personal goals.

Judgment Reversed + The Lovers

Together, these two cards indicate their awareness and response to the hurt people. They feel misunderstood by the outside world, judged unfairly. It’s frustrating for them not to be able to express or defend themselves freely. And here’s the thing: they are the Lovers.

That doesn’t have to mean romantic, but it can be. What I am trying to say: Who cares what the label is. And how could I claim with certainty to know it? I don't know them personally. And if I magically would know, it still would not be my place to speak on it.

“The Lovers” signify soulmates, deep emotional counterparts, true partners, a soul-deep bond. They are two people who simply belong in each other’s lives. It’s undeniable.

3 of Pentacles Reversed + 5 of Swords Reversed

This is about uplifting the other, especially when one is down. It reminds me of someone putting another person on their shoulders in a concert for them to enjoy the moment better and give them a different perspective of their surroundings.

I also got the image of one person lifting the other up to reach something just out of reach: a goal, a healing, or maybe even pieces of themselves. It’s support in its purest form: “I’ve got you. Let’s do this together.”

It reminds me of the image I got of someone gently helping the other remove the swords from their own heart. Not doing the healing for them, but with them. Gently placing their hand on top of theirs, offering strength, guiding the process if necessary.

But this all happens behind walls (the fort). Because the 5 of Swords Reversed is on the other side of that wall. This card is about outside noise, conflict, and people trying to hurt them. I got the image of people on the outside throwing rocks, trying to break into a private space, trying to get at the weaker spots in the wall. There's a sense of injustice, of others misunderstanding or twisting something pure, and one of them is more affected by it.

But the other doesn’t just watch. They step in. They reinforce that vulnerable spot. They offer protection, healing, and perspective.

There's a sense of defending the connection, especially when one of them is being hurt more by public noise or internal doubt. When one wall gets targeted more harshly, the other one steps in to help reinforce it.

I feel like each of them have a wall with their own weakspots. They both are aware of them so they assist eachother when they are under attack or when the wind happens to blow strongly upon that part of the fort.

There’s mutual strength and support here. And deep awareness of what the other needs.

4 of Pentacles

This card ties it all together. It’s about protecting what’s precious. The dragon guarding the coin symbolizes how much they value their bond. They know what they have is worth guarding. They won’t let just anyone in, nor will they let others define or damage it. It’s deeply personal and strongly protected.

Oracle Cards

Throat Chakra

These two talk. A lot. It’s endless. There’s always something to share, unpack, dream up. It's a constant dialogue. It's part of what keeps them close (what the hell do they have to say to eachother all the time?)

Heal (The Star)

This bond inspires hope. It's healing, it’s wishful, and it's filled with creative potential. There's also a spiritual vibe, like something cosmic ties them together and they are meant to heal something. Like how the universe ties all seven together too and have a similar task.

Share the Love (3 of Cups)

There’s joy, companionship, and celebration. Their connection isn’t just intense, it’s fun too. They make each other feel safe enough to celebrate who they are.

Breathe

This card is a pause. A reminder that their bond itself is a safe space. A place where they can just be. And it links back to the message of quiet support: offering each other not just strength, but space to breathe.

Loyal hearts

This card speaks of trust, mutual understanding, and devotion.

The kind where just a glance says: "I'm here. I know you. I’ve got you."

It also reinforces the message of the Four of Pentacles: this relationship is precious and they’re protective of it. They hold it close because it matters that much.

Initiative & Grace

This dynamic is a balance of action and gentleness. Jungkook may lean more toward initiative. Wanting to speak out, take action, protect. Jimin brings in grace, forgiveness, softness, knowing when to pull back. Together, they influence each other’s approach. One steps in where the other needs it most.

Pleasure & Compliments

There’s mutual admiration here. They like each other. They compliment each other. And they find comfort and joy in each other’s presence. It is as simple as that.

Their connection continues to evolve. It’s tender, protective, and honest. When one hurts, the other notices. And no matter what others may say or assume... this bond is theirs. And they’re not giving it up.

Take care!

Love that they have each other. Their bond is really so precious.

For this part of the live: https://www.tumblr.com/dstdes/724068219316584448/you-left-at-2-oclock-go-to-sleep-soon-right-i, does jimin say jk has to leave at 2 or did he say he left at 2 yesterday? Or is it ambiguous? I think this is the part that has gotten quite different translations.

Also, what’s your favourite part of the live? :)

Hi, thanks for the ask!

If you haven't seen it already I addressed this in this post.

My favorite part besides the beginning when Jimin was insisting on Jungkook uncovering himself (lol sounds even wilder when written down like this) was probably this moment:

Basically when Jungkook was directly talking to Jimin all informally like they weren't on an official broadcast and this particular part was just 😮‍💨

in low formality: "(Do I*) go? (Or*) not?"

(I understand it doesn't sound like much written like this but it just hits different in Korean if you get what I mean lol

Anyway the whole part was just insane, the way Jungkook addresses him so casually without any second thought and the way they easily slip into their satoori is just... It screams comfort and closeness)

And then probably when Jungkook said he was upset after Jimin said no 🥺

I don't really know if anyone has done a breakdown or a little closer look at the way Jungkook and Jimin talk to each other, based on e.g. this particular live. A lot of the detail gets left out in English because unfortunately English doesn't have the scope to account for the nuances in Korean speech. If anyone wants me to explain a bit more about the language, let me know.

Anyways, thanks for your message!

Hello ! This is my first ask here.

I have a doubt regarding JK's yesterday live. One of Jimin's comment was about JK leaving at 2am/pm. There are 2 versions of translations going around - one is future tense, "you have to leave at 2pm. So go to sleep now" and another version is past tense , "you left at 2 am , so sleep now". There is a confusion about this , can you clarify it for us?

Hi, thanks a lot for your message!

I have seen this comment being translated in all kinds of ways, perhaps partially due to the fact that the way it is phrased is pretty vague and also it is written in Busan satoori.

It has been officially transcribed like this:

Though they did change the word '나가더구먼', written by Jimin originally in Busan dialect as '나가더만'; similarly to '어서 자' which Jimin wrote as '어여자' in Busan dialect. (Little detail but I just love how they automatically slip into their regional dialect when talking to each other 🥹)

To get to the content of the message, Jimin doesn't specify what time of the day exactly, he just says "at 2 o'clock."

Based on that solely it could be understood in both past and future sense. However the overall meaning of "너 2시에 나가더만" implies that:

You've told me/I've learnt you are going out/leaving at 2; this is a fact that I've got to know

Despite that I see you are not sleeping (my assumption and expectation is being opposed; I am surprised)

I know this probably sounds very confusing but yes, this much can be expressed with suffixes in Korean 😅

Then Jimin continues saying "어여자 이제" which is satoori for ushering someone to "go to sleep quickly now"

The full translation can be phrased as:

"(I know) you leave at 2* so hurry up and sleep now."

(*implied additional meaning: yet you are not sleeping)

Jungkook then replies:

"That's right, I am going out/leaving at around 2 o'clock, I am going" (-는데 this form again implies opposition- 'despite/even though' but it is hard to capture in English translation).

Basically Jungkook agrees to the juxtaposition with his answer, as he is seemingly not sleeping even though he has a schedule at 2.

He closes it off with an informal sentence: "Why do I hate sleeping this much?"

I have to admit even when I was watching this for the first time, I never got the impression from the whole convo it could be translated in any other way than future; but I guess there can be a bit of difficulty trying to express the full scope of the meaning in English and the sentence is indeed a bit vague. Though Jungkook's reaction doesn't really fit any other interpretation.

Hope it helped a bit!

How Jimin and Jungkook recollect their first meeting and how it became the epitome of the nature of their relationship ✍️

Q: Tell us the first impressions of each other.

Jimin: I remember it exactly. I saw (Jungkook) for the first time at the dorm. Back then (his) image was way different from the current one. Kind of like from a manhwa, a bright student that is smiling/laughing a lot kind of a feel?

Jungkook: When we met in front of the dorm's door for the first time, you thought I was your hyung.

Jimin: That's right, that's why I greeted you with "annyeonghaseyo" (*polite greeting)

Jimin: Aaah what kind of impression is thaaat (laughter)

Jungkook: So just.. that was my first impression (laughter)

After seeing this quote from an old interview on how Jimin and Jungkook described their first meeting it occurred to me just how perfectly it predicted the evolution of their whole relationship over the years. I just translated another exerpt the other day, in which Jimin describes how Jungkook treats him more as a play buddy and someone to fool around and use his strength with, rather than a hyung that is older and should be regarded as such 😄

All throughout the years we saw how the boundaries between them have been fluid (in the age-communication, behavior hierarchy sense) and how they became way more relaxed with showing that part of the relationship to us as well, in the last few years especially. The footage of Jungkook drawing a funny tiny+cute snowman figure as Jimin (emphasis on cute acc to Jungkook) closing it off by saying "But still I don't forget that he is my hyung, right..." (as if kind of referring to the way he was describing him up until that point- as someone cute + also drew him as someone super small (might be just bc of the theme but still cute)) This all just further reminded me of the same point.

full translation of Jungkook's description of Jimin:

Like.. *how to say* (Jimin's) expression is always cute

Also his eyes are kinda droopy and cute like this...

So (here is) Jiminie hyung (shows the drawing)

He must be cute in the eyes of ARMY for sure but Jimin-ssi is also extremely* cute in my eyes.

But still I don't forget that he is my hyung, right...

(*Jungkook uses '굉장히' -stronger version of very- to emphasize just how veeery cute Jimin is in his eyes too)

Hello, I found this old quote from jimin and I’ve seen it translated elsewhere but I was hoping to get your take on it? It’s from this article

Hi, thanks a lot for your message.

Since it's quite a bit of text I will give a translation without much of explaining around it for the parts where it just mentions Jimin's history etc and focus more on the parts which I assume were the reason you sent me the message for.

Here I will also try to make it more fun for me (and for those who are maybe interested in going more in depth too) by showing multiple ways of translating certain words or phrases, ranging from 1st option marked as ¹ - 'closest to source' translation (which I typically provide to show what was said in original word as opposed to just transforming it to be more seemless and easier to understand for an English speaker) /2nd option marked as ²- close synonym (kind of middle of the two, optional) / 3rd option marked as ³- 'looser, more flexible' translation (might not be mirroring the source text 100% but brings the essence of the word, phrase closer to the English language and its context). This is just to show translations can vary depending on stylistic choice and preference. Naturally, this doesn't always apply though and there's many further nuances that can be discussed etc.

Note: if you wish to skip the (admittedly long) explanation and my weird number exercise, scroll to the bottom for clean translation.

지민_ 중학교 3학년 때부터 춤을 춰왔고 부산예고에 수석 입학 할 만큼 소문난 춤꾼이지만 동시에 매력적인 보컬로 방탄소년단만의 색깔을 만드는 데 큰 역할을 했다.

또 ‘짐드백’(지민+샌드백)이란 별명이 생길 정도로 팀 내 서열 꼴찌가 됐는데 어쩌다 이렇게 됐나.

"Jimin- You've been dancing since the third grade of middle school and were such a notorious dancer to the point that you got accepted to Busan Arts High School as the top student (*수석 입학), but at the same time, you also played a big role in creating BTS' own specific colors with your ¹attractive / ²appealing vocals.

Though on top of that, you came in ¹last position in the team ranking / ³were last in the team pecking order to such an extent that you ³earned yourself a nickname ¹'jim-deubaek' / ²'jim-dbag' / ³'jim-punchbag' (Jimin + ¹sandbag / ³punching bag), ¹how did it happen / ³how come / ³how did this come about?"

(*note: here of course the tone is playful and the meaning obviously isn't referring to any harmful violence, the question is posed in a way that it implies Jimin is both the top (skills, influence wise) and then finds himself at the bottom when it comes to certain power hierarchy in the group, like when they joke around together (even physically), to the point that not even the youngest regards him as a 'hyung' and rather plays around with him, which Jimin then refers to in the response accordingly)

춤뿐 아니라 보컬에 대한 고민도 많은 편이다. 보컬적인 면에서 아직 너무 부족하다고 생각하기 때문에 스스로 만족할 수 있을 만큼 노력해서 더 좋은 노래를 들려드리고 싶다.

서열 꼴찌인 건 인정한다. 막내 정국이한테 던져지고 나서 이렇게 된 것 같다. ‘정국 맘’이라는 별명이 있는데 이제 ‘정국 장난감’이 된 것 같다.(웃음) 반항할 수 없기도 하지만 그런 장난이 싫지 않기 때문에 어쩔 수 없다.

"Not only dancing, I tend to worry a lot about my vocals too. I think I am still lacking in the vocal aspect, therefore I want to try hard enough to be satisfied with myself and give you better songs.

I admit to being last in ³the pecking order. I think ¹it became/ ³I ended up like this after ¹being ¹thrown / ³tossed around by ¹the maknae Jungkook. I have the nickname ¹'Jungkook's mum' (*the word mum spelled in Korean) but now / from now on I think I am becoming ¹'Jungkook's toy' / ³'Jungkook's plaything'. (Laughter) I cannot ¹defy it / ²resist, but since I don't hate these kind of ¹antics/ ¹play / ²jokes / ²mischief, ¹there's nothing to do / ³I can't help it."

Concluding note: by giving multiple options I tried to show that there are always various ways to go about translations. Here I would say to avoid misunderstanding, it's better to try to convey the meaning of what was said with a bit more flexible translation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TLDR, clean translation:

Reporter: "(Jimin) You've been dancing since the third grade of middle school and were such a notorious dancer to the point that you got accepted to Busan Arts High School as the top student, but at the same time, you also played a big role in creating BTS' own specific colors with your attractive vocals. Though on top of that, you were last in the team pecking order to such an extent that you earned yourself a nickname 'jim-punchbag' (Jimin +punching bag), how did this come about?"

JM: "Not only dancing, I tend to worry a lot about my vocals too. I think I am still lacking in the vocal aspect, therefore I want to try hard enough to be satisfied with myself and give you better songs. I admit to being last in the pecking order. I think I ended up like this after being tossed around by the maknae Jungkook. I have the nickname 'Jungkook's mum' but now I think I am becoming 'Jungkook's plaything'. (Laughter) I cannot defy it, but since I don't hate these kind of antics, there's nothing to do about it."

Hi, do you mind translating this clip? Cos I’ve seen another version which was slightly different so I’m not sure which is more accurate: https://mobile.twitter.com/lovemazejikook/status/1641421413193220096

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for your message 😊

Shortly, it seems to me that this translation is not correct. (explanation below)

Adding the inquired about translation for context:

and also the full clip for anyone interested (apologies for the quality, i just quickly screen recorded this off of twitter)

The issue here is that the translator incorrectly assumed the pronouns and thus misinterpreted what Jimin said.

My translation is as follows:

MC: What's the ranking in the team? Jimin: Our maknae decided the ranking and he decided for the lowest (rank) for (me). *pointing at himself*

MC: (You're) the lowest? *pointing at Jimin* Who's the top rank then? Jimin: The top rank? I think leader hyung-nim, his ranking is the highest.

The meaning becomes also obvious when you look at the added captions that say:

"[Jimin] Designated as BTS' lowest rank"

and then the MC asking him:

[Jimin-ssi] (you're) the lowest rank?

to which Jimin responded with agreement.

As always, here the pronouns have to be assumed as they are not spoken in Korean (I typically put the added pronouns into brackets in my translations), so these discrepancies can sometimes happen. Though I believe one should be careful to get the full context before issuing a translation.

-------------------------------

To add to this topic:

Funnily enough, I've already made a few posts on the whole ranking talk which has been a trope within the team ever since BTS has been formed. (I think this also stems from the fact the Korean society is hierarchical in nature, therefore in every team an important aspect is the dynamic according to the hierarchical order based on age and seniority)

The twist here is that from the very beginning Jimin was treated as the 'maknae' especially by Jungkook which Jimin once again acknowledges even nowadays 😆 If you are interested in learning more about the whole topic of "ranking Jimin the lowest' I am linking my previous translations and write-ups here and here. 😊

Thanks a lot for your question once again, I hope I was able to provide a sufficient answer!

*Knock knock* Is this... right?!

Hi (to anyone that still remembers),

It's been a while! After a long consideration and a push from Jimin and Jungkook's comeback, I have decided to resume some activity on this blog. For a few months on and off, I've been posting on Bluesky too.

Most importantly, I have regained motivation to put my analyses and thoughts in overtly lengthy posts 😅 I do not want to overpromise though as I am still quite busy with work and life outside of the online spaces. For now, I am working on a write-up reflecting on post-military Jikook.

Moreover, leading up to Are You Sure?! S2, I would like to revisit some moments that have stood out to me while watching (and complain a little about the subs provided in English...)

I've posted a short thread on the AYS show title and the slight differences in KOR-ENG ver. (Read here) - hence the reference in this post's title 😉

If there's anyone left out here, thanks for sticking around. Hope to meet you through my posts soon ✨

(Edit: I will be keeping my inbox closed for now to be able to stay on track with my posting plans, thanks to everyone who left a lovely message while I was inactive, I appreciate it!)

Jimin & Jungkook after the military: a close-up into their current dynamic

We are slowly getting close to two months after Jimin and Jungkook officially completed their military service. And as Jimin remarked in their last live broadcast, it doesn't even feel real. How were they able to do it?

It was to be naturally expected that their bond would have grown deeper than ever but the casualness and ease with which they fit into each other like puzzle pieces still astounds me, to be frank.

Some quick points on the past few weeks I would like to mention:

1. Their military experience was tough: We will simply never be able to understand the extend of just how much they really went through...

I will touch upon the post-discharge broadcast in a separate post as there are many things to point out. The most touching part for me was hearing that Jimin & Jungkook spent many sleepless nights sharing earnest thoughts with each other until early hours... Having this kind of support must have been a huge blessing for both of them.

For now, I posted a few reactions and two clips with translation breakdowns ( 1, 2, 3 )

2. Jimin spreads his happiness all around, even more so after military:

JK: "Why is Jimin hyung this funny, aah really funny" | 지민 형 왜 이렇게 웃기지 아 진짜 웃기네... (speaking to Namjoon)

+ statements from the other members and Namjoon implying it is thanks to Jungkook's influence. I personally haven't seen Jimin this relaxed and playful like he was in the last live with Jungkook and then Namjoon, Jungkook and Taehyung in a long time.

3. Time is passing and both of them share the same mind about it:

JK: "Why did we become ahjussis (too)?" | 우리도 왜 아저씨가 됐지?

I would like to focus on a part of the live that kinda flew under the radar, but this part perfectly summarizes Jimin's humor and Jungkook's enjoyment of it/familiarity with it and their shared perspectives on aging. This will be a long grammatical explanation of the joke that might be lost in translation so buckle up!

Discl.: In my translations I tend to stay closer to Korean phrasing to bring the reader closer to how Korean sentences are structured, therefore my translations may vary from others and may not feel as natural in English. Assumed pronouns not included in the original Korean sentence are in brackets.

[Context: A fan leaves a comment about being in disbelief that next year they are joining university and have become an adult meanwhile they were still underage when JM and JK enlisted]

Jimin reads the comment and responds:

🐥-👴 ...아이고 이제 그냥 마 그냥 마! | Aigoo now <just huh, just huh!>

This here is a prime example of not everything being translatable from Korean to English.

From the tone alone, it is obvious that Jimin responds in an exaggerated way, sounding like an old man - ahjussi (아저씨), which is supported by the vocabulary he chooses: 아이고 [aigo] - best translated as "oh my/oh my god/..." and mostly used by older generations in Korea in a response to something surprising, cute, scary etc.;

and 그냥 마 [geunyang ma] - a kind of a filler word combination in casual Busan dialect that can have a meaning in certain contexts. At the same time it can also be more of an exclamation, a verbal sigh that could be related to something in ENG like "huh/duh/just/man" which is how Jimin used it. He is playing a character of an old Busan man reacting to younger people 😆 As he starts laughing, Jungkook immediately picks up on the joke and starts laughing too. And he responds:

🐰 뭐? 뭐? 이제 뭐? 이제 뭐요? | What? What? Now what? Now what?

He is prompting Jimin to finish his reply as he didn't say anything with the initial sentence lol. Jimin keeps repeating in the ahjussi tone and vocabulary:

🐥-👴 우리 아미 여러분들도 그냥 마! | Our ARMY, you guys too <just..huh!>

And then Jungkook starts playing into the joke and repeating in Busan dialect:

🐰-👴 마 그냥 마 | [ma geunyang ma]

The joke concludes:

🐥-👴 하나씩 그냥 그냥 | One by one, just just.. 🐰 다 이제.. | All now.. 🐥-👴 다 먹고 있구먼 그냥 | have all aged huh, just...

Note that here Weverse translated what Jimin said literally, as he word by word says: "All/ everything (you ) have eaten, just.." However, he is clearly referencing age; in Korean "to age" can also be expressed by saying "to eat age" (나이 먹다)* so it is more accurate to translate this part metaphorically, as written above.

*He uses this expression in the upcoming part

To add to the playfulness, the verb ending Jimin uses here "먹고 있구먼" has a very ahjussi-like tone and is used informally, very commonly by old people when they want to express their realization or conclusion after hearing sth.

Jungkook then starts adding more context to the topic:

🐰 다 이제…. | All now... 그치, 왜냐면 같이 같이 가니까, 맞아... | Right, because (we are all) going through (it/life) together, correct.... 똑같이 늙어가고 있지 | (we are) getting older the same.

Therefore, they both agree that as they age (and feel more like ahjussis lol) ARMYs are aging besides them too.

Jimin then describes a recollection from the airport and how the new situation contributed to a development in ARMY - JM&JK interactions:

🐥저는 전역하고 공항에서 팬들 처음 봤을 때가 진짜 웃겼어요 | When I saw fans at the airport after getting discharged for the first time it was really funny. 🐰 전역하고? | After getting discharged? 🐥 응 예전에는 우리 막 이제 팬분들 만나면 조심스러우니까 이렇게 인사하고 빨리빨리 지나가잖아. 왜냐면 다른 사람들한테 피해 주면 안 되니까... | Yea, back in the day when meeting fans, since (we were) careful we'd greet (them) like this and go through very fast, right. Because (we) can't cause trouble towards other people... 근데 이제 막 *starts gesturing* | Now though just *starts gesturing* (They both imitate a seemingly old, more straightforward guy) 🐰 가세요 | Go *high polite form 🐥 감사하고...(가세요) | Thanks and...(go) *high polite form (*imitating fans*) 🐥 "오빠" 막 이러는데 "아 오빠!" | "Oppa" - they go: "ah oppa!" 🐥 아 나와보세요 저희 가야됩니다 | Aah come out please, we have to go. *high polite form 🐰 계속 물어봐 계속 쫓아다녀 | (They) keep asking, keep following around. 🐥 "오빠!" 아이 나와보세요 | "Oppa!" - Aah step out please. *high polite form 🐰 빨리 가세요 빨리 | Hurry up and go quickly. *high polite form 빨리 들어가자 빨리빨리 | Let's hurry up and go in, hurry.

Jimin concludes the memory:

🐥 우리도 이제 나이를 먹고 여러분들도 한 살씩 나이 먹고 같이 이렇게 행복하게 늙어갑시다. | We too are now getting older and you guys too are getting older year by year, let's grow old together happily like this. (using the expression "to eat age") 좋은 거 같아요. | (I) think it's good.

To me, it appeared that they tried to imply they are being more direct with the fans they meet at the airport (like when you get older and have no time for someone's bs 🤭 They expressed it way nicer and more polite of course)

This moment stood out to me thanks to Jimin's humor and the big laugh he earned from Jungkook because of it. It then developed into them talking about their shared opinions on age and fans interactions and it just shows how much they think and act alike.

Lastly, I just shortly want to mention the moment that made me absolutely go ???? and many K-ARMYs were going crazy over this.

(Video upload of the moment from my Bluesky thread)

Jungkook is complaining about not knowing how to spend time alone:

🐰 요즘 혼자 있을 때 뭘 해야 될지 모르겠어 | These days (I) really don't know what to do when (I'm) alone. (talking to himself) 뭐 해요 여러분들은? 혼자 있을 때? | What do you do, guys? When alone? (talking to the fans)

Then he turns to Jimin and says:

🐰 약간 군대 갔다 오고 나서 시간을 허투루 허비하고 싶지 않다는 생각이 강박이 더 생겼어 | After coming back from military, (I)'ve become more obsessed with not wanting to meaninglessly waste time. (alt. I've got more compulsion to not want to waste away time with no intention)

Jimin out of nowhere responds with the most shameless aegyo I've seen in a while and even catches Jungkook off guard:

🐥 그래떠? | Reallyy? (alt. Is that so?) 그래떠~~ | Reallyy...

Jungkook has no response but to laugh back in disbelief

*sip*

***Personal note: Congrats, you've made it to the end! 😮‍💨 Another one of my overtly lengthy posts, sorry if it feels chaotic. There are so many points I wanted to make and highlight it is hard to find a common thread. I hope I was able to bring in a bit more understanding to the witty and playful humor Jimin has and how Jimin and Jungkook are on the same wavelength. Another note: I have found plenty of mistakes or outright incorrect words translated in the live, so please if you can, seek out alternative translators for more correct understanding!
