Breathe in.

Let all your wayward thoughts disappear beneath the pastel skies.

Let the ocean, nipping at your feet, pull on your soul, just so it comes loose a bit.

A little bit unsettled, and you'll feel like you're a part of a life larger than your humble self.

Just like grand emotions are a part of the tiny speck of sand that covers your skin.

Breathe out.

The ocean, the sky, the water, the sand. Park Jimin’s happy place, where he can be a silly romantic soul and a human beset with simple things. While everything at his back may be grand and heavy, he himself is just him.

Filled with trust, fear, and confidence that he may overcome whatever comes his way.

This isn't a knock to you in particular, but I'm just wondering why some jkk never really talk about Jimin and how he is with Jk. It's always how Jk is with Jimin. I keep seeing posts about Jk being a Green flag, but why do jkk never really talk about Jimin being one? I feel like the things Jimin does gets looked over cause he's considered the reserved, silent one, while Jk is considered the bold, loud one. And while I agree, Jimin tends to keep things more serious, he has his moments. Like Jimin encouraging Jk in everything he does, including getting him to speak up when he gets drowned out by others & constantly bragging on Jk, his voice, his handsome looks, calls him beyond human category when complimenting him. Letting his guard down & putting Jk on Letter with those sus song lyrics and put Jk on his first ever solo album (esp after Jk sulked about not hearing his songs, but he gets his own song to be on) which clearly made Jimin feel some type of way cause of all the blushing he does when Letter comes up and constantly skipping past talking about it, even tho its supposed to be a "song for fans". He even made a video about his trip with Jk to Japan, but only Jk's GCF Tokyo is seen as something romantic. How Jimin would drop everything to be with Jk when he was sick, but it seems to be praised more about JK and his stone tower for Jimin when he was sick. Jk being praised for planning the surprise trip to Japan for Jimin's bday, but people skipping past Jimin pushing AYS ahead knowing it was something he and Jk wanted to do, took the time to plan it out with Jk and planned a bunch of activities he knew Jk would love to do, catered specifically for Jk, where at the end Jk admits they're the best trips he's ever taken in his entire life. It's not a competition by any means, since they're both crazy about each other and really there is no outdoing the other, since they're equals and are there for each other in everyone, but I guess what I'm saying is, I'm just curious why jkk tend to lean toward talking about things JK does, while barely writing about what Jimin does. It's always compilations of how Jk looks at Jimin and hardly how Jimin looks at Jk. When I think Jimin looks at Jk like he's his entire world sometimes. Anyways, I know it probably seems like a silly rant, but I been seeing it happen more lately. Jk being called a green flag and Jimin being called Lucky. When I think they're both green flags and both very lucky to have each other. I just feel a bit sad for Jm sometimes, cause everything he does toward Jk is put down by antis, but often overlooked even by Jkk. IDK, maybe I'm the only one who feels this way. They're both so lucky in my eyes.

Hi Anon,

I completely understand where you’re coming from, and you’re not wrong in saying that a lot of Jikookers tend to focus more on Jungkook and the things he does for Jimin especially in recent years. There’s some truth to that observation.

Of course, I can’t speak for every Jikooker, but if I were to offer possible explanations for why more people tend to highlight Jungkook’s actions over Jimin’s, I’d say it comes down to a few things.

First, Jimin is inherently more difficult to “read.” He’s incredibly warm, affectionate, and giving by nature… toward everyone. Because of this, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish the subtle differences between how he treats Jungkook and how he treats others. His sweetness is so consistent across the board that the lines blur, even though, to those who look closely, there are distinctions.

Second, a lot has already been said about how Jimin treats Jungkook. From the earliest days, Jimin was the more visibly expressive one, the one openly talking about Jungkook, going out of his way for him, and wearing his affection on his sleeve. That’s not to say Jungkook wasn’t doing the same, but Jimin’s gestures were often more noticeable and consistent. We’ve had endless discussions over the years about how Jimin dotes on Jungkook, how he allows him liberties no one else gets, how he visibly seeks his attention, and how even though Jimin can be physically affectionate with many people, there’s a distinct tenderness in the way he interacts with Jungkook.

So, in a way, people aren’t ignoring what Jimin does… it’s just that we’ve already explored those patterns in depth. And quite frankly, Jimin is just… Jimin. His love language flows effortlessly. Words of affirmation, acts of service, attention, quality time… he gives all of these things generously to the people he cares about, which makes it harder to isolate what’s unique in his bond with Jungkook without deep context.

Jungkook, on the other hand, expresses affection very differently. His gestures tend to be less frequent, but when they happen, they’re often more dramatic or significant. While Jimin shows love in countless small and consistent ways, Jungkook’s style is more about impactful moments that stand out and that’s what people latch onto. His way of showing care is also more distinguishable; it feels specific. And because Jungkook is generally more reserved or nonchalant in expressing his feelings, those rare moments when he does step out of that shell especially for Jimin… feel especially meaningful.

It’s not that Jungkook isn’t loving or attentive toward others too, he absolutely is but there seems to be a certain extra mile he reserves for Jimin. It’s subtle, but persistent. Many of Jikook’s most memorable moments over the years have been instigated by Jungkook, and that carries weight. People expect warmth from Jimin; it’s part of who he is. But when Jungkook does something deeply affectionate or romantic, it often feels unexpected and that contrast makes those moments even more impactful.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that while Jimin can be romantic, Jungkook’s way of expressing romance tends to be incredibly intense and memorable…sweeping, even. He has this ability to create moments that feel like something out of a movie, and it’s hard not to take notice of that. It makes people pay attention.

And finally, there’s the dynamic created by the shipping culture itself. Jungkook is the center of both Jikook and Taekook ship discussions, which naturally places his actions under a microscope. Because he’s the “common factor,” both sides tend to focus heavily on what he does, rather than on what Taehyung or Jimin are doing. So when it comes to debates or analyses, people often zero in on Jungkook’s choices and expressions as if they’re the determining factor in the ship “war.”

So to sum up: it’s not that Jimin’s actions are less meaningful, or that people don’t appreciate his role in the dynamic. It’s just that his affection is already well understood and deeply established in the Jikook narrative. What Jungkook does tends to stand out more not because it’s better or more important, but because of how rare, intense, or defining it often feels. And in the context of ongoing discussions between different fandom perspectives, Jungkook’s behavior becomes the focal point.. fairly or not.

And also, you are right anon. Both Jimin and Jungkook are extremely lucky to have each other💕

[jung-koook]

I'm still here ♡

[hon3ymo0n]

I was thinking about your last anon before and how Jikook really and truly don’t let us in, much at all, and what that means and why.

I also saw another anon who had commented on someone’s post about Jimin being more active with JK being away last week, humorously, like they both did in 2023. But, it got me thinking in the round about it all, and I noticed that yes he was active before JK went but also not, because each time he posted it was when JK wasn’t around (aside from the Dior fit pic we don’t have context for that. He looks like he’s at a back yard party somewhere in the city of Compton and is about to keeping it rocking). But for the shopping pic, Jungkook told us he was asleep, same as Jimin watching Hobi’s live the same morning. When they went to the beach last Saturday Jungkook was back in Seoul.

But back to the top, they barely tell us about what they do. Or it hardly makes it to the grid. And yet, they decided in their wisdom in 2023 to embark on some travelling and film it. For us.

Why? Well we don’t really know other than them vaguely saying it was something that has discussed prior. And for Jungkook to get some time off right at the beginning of his new promo for his solo career, Seven has been out a day, and he already needed a weekend break… but still, off they went. Pre enlistment, pre us knowing anything about their other plans of a buddy enlistment. We got mostly guarded or somewhat vague conversation about nothing really. Even where further and more deep conversation could have taken place about their music for example, we got edited conversations and cuts. Where we could have had context, we got edited conversations that left us scratching our heads, because we don’t know their inside jokes. Where any conversation could have taken place at all, we got much more intimate in bed moments.

But why? Why the evasiveness if they are indeed just friends? Why does it feel like an intrusion when you watch them? That we really shouldn’t be there at all?

It was slightly different when V joined but also not really. It just left more questions than answers. In jeju we got our first glimpse into the buddy system, Jimin telling V that they were going together and V looking essentially unbothered. Not surprised, impassive almost (until fighting was mentioned). We had Jimin in these episodes in particular outwardly caring for Jungkooks welfare with him on the motorcycle, when drinking his coffee, and after the pork incident in the last restaurant, making sure Jungkook was happy. He didn’t ask this if V, at least not that we saw. Again not much conversation even between the three of them. V often withdrawing from them entirely, on the boat for a moment, to go to bed early, to go golfing. Gone the time he was meant to join his friends he’d insisted on joining. It gave a lot away at that moment about his probable questioning his decision in life.

It all gives this picture though. Of how different their bond is, even if it actually remains unspoken like you said. Or undefined.

So going into a new season supposedly, what will we get? Them setting off on their travels under the radar until sightings occurred. Us trying to grasp what was going on. So far the footage captured by those that saw them leave a fragmented picture. To me at least. It seems not as large a production as season 1, to any of the trips. They had staff with them but also not really, in comparison to the sheer number of staff we saw in all episodes of all the trips in season 1. It seems they are filming on handhelds almost entirely. They also seem to have chosen a rather selective and limited wardrobe, they were often wearing the same thing in all sightings. Is this all due to the intimacy they wanted to perhaps creat in this season? Is it actually going to be the same as before? Where did they go and why? Will they tell us? If so what made them chose Switzerland and Vietnam? I’d love to know. Will the use of hand helps enable the to perhaps tell us more about their time in the military and be more unguarded?

In Switzerland they are pictured and seen in a park, feeding swans, and playing in a lake. Actually surrounded by the public, unlike much of before. In Vietnam too in shops and on a boat. They went for two short nights to Vietnam. It’s just such a short period to actually get any nitty gritty, or really see much of anything. It’s all so curious to me.

I know only time will tell, and I know we will all love anything they do. It just can’t help but make me think and wonder. About the why of it all. Where we barely get words from them, or half truths a lot of the time, even sometimes outright fabricated/denial elements, but their actions tell us time and time again.

Someone wise once they speak louder than words. I guess we shall see.

(Anon’s referincing to this post)

I think you got the entire core of Jikook right in this ask, anon: if you wanna look for the craziest clues and truths, they’re most likely in the things they don’t do, they don’t say, they don’t admit. We’ve mentioned this so often it’s impossible to dismiss.

AYS2 is gonna be different, of course. They’re in a different emotional state, they’ve already done it and chose to do it again because they clearly felt comfortable with repeating it. We don’t know much about where staff followed them and where it didn’t, but we have proof of Jikook looking for private moments away from crowds/teams/chaos. The Antoya date being the biggest one (kicks her feet in cuteness)

Anygays. I’ve been asking the same question you’re bringing forward on here for the past 2 years and I’ve always come to the conclusion that they choose to approach privacy differently because of what’s at stake. They protect what they share in such a detailed and loving way that it creates the weirdest paradox: the closest people ever, always sharing experiences and travels and hardships, attached at the hip, deeply in love/“we thought it was fun to do it”, “I don’t wanna know the smallest things about you”, “I’m grateful you’re here”.

Everyone knows those two cuddle like kids before going to sleep, hug tight after not seeing each other for 30 minutes and send each other romantic songs after a fight. We all know it. But you’ll never ever get a glimpse of it in their words. At least not in their usual words and conversations. Because to say that they never tried to express even the smallest part of the love they share is wrong too.

“I miss you” said when Jimin was working hard and often busy hides 100 layers of care, need, love. “I wanted to cook an authentic italian carbonara for you” hides 100 layers of effort, commitment, of wanting the other to be at ease and happy. All concentrated in that big pasta pot. Followed by Jimin’s “I’m just grateful to eat your food” bomb? That’s love. Pure, deep, unconditional love.

“Are you having fun? That’s all that matters” or “as long as you’re happy” said after an activity they both did or when Jungkook’s stomach became a black hole hides 100 layers of attention, emotional depth, care. All Jimin cared for in that moment was that Jungkook was happy. Fine. Joyful. Happy is a strong word, y’all. Happiness is one hell of emotion… you don’t wish that to anyone. People who give meaning to words know what that is. “All that matters is that you’re happy” ARE WE HEARING THAT?

Repeated in Sapporo too: “this is all for your happiness”. Yeah, that’s not casual. That’s straightforward, simple, probably has been turned into cliché in our modern times. But Jimin meant it. Jimin means every big thing he says.

“He’ll protect me, I feel safe with him, he takes good care of me” hide 100 layers of safety, of comfort, of peace. They choose each other so often and so consistently because they’ve worked on creating balance between each other’s strongest feelings and acts of love. They feel good around each other.

And I could go on all day. Jungkook reading “you’ll always be n.1 to me” to Jimin wasn’t just a joke. It was serious. My man felt every single word. “Waking up and seeing Jungkook is the best thing these days” means that having him around since the very first second of the day, the one when everyone’s usually confused and hyper sensitive as fuck, is not an issue. “I wanna see you first when I open my eyes”.

They just say it like it’s nothing, sometimes. And it’s rare, mostly calculated but also just contained, considering how loud their actions can get to compensate. But if we truly took Jikook’s sentences and declarations out of context we’d get a whole damn novel and portrait of their love and their tenderness. These two can bicker, push each other, tease, flirt, break the bed, but they’re soft cutie pies. Deep down Jungkook’s the little spoon and Jimin the oppa, Jungkook’s the menace and Jimin blushes while struggling with eye contact. They both couldn’t bare the idea of being away from each other for 18 months just like they couldn’t bare it in the months prior, during their schedules. Do we really believe they haven’t talked about it, haven’t expressed to each other how much they need the other like teenage boys in a coming of age movie? They are soft for and with each other.

Most people ignore these signals because it’s not the type of dopamine-producing stuff they crave on the internet and in strangers’ lives nowdays. Because Jikook have their own pace, their own style. Their own rhythm. But it’s there, totally. And the fact that they avoid it often - avoid the deep talks, the romantic moments on camera, play it cool after the gayest scene of all times, just proves all of it and more.

I’m not saying Are You Sure2 will show them kissing in a close up. Neither that they’ll change their nature and compromise any form of safety and security they’ve built- within themselves and with the external world - for a show. What makes Jikook last is that they’ve gradually learned how they don’t need to prove anything to anyone to validate their struggle, relationship, the beauty of their love and the pain of it. It doesn’t concern us.

But I’m sure a shift will be evident. If directly or not, I can’t say. Whether those details between the lines will get louder or they’ll go straight to confessions and emotional moments, it’s hard to define.

We still don’t know if NY will be included again in the show, if it was a private trip, if it was a GCF content, a vlog, a secret 5th thing. We still don’t know why they flew to Japan at the same time and Jungkook had a filming bag with him, and if Japan will be included again in the show or it was something else, solo or not. The fact that so many Jikook things seem to be coming given the coincidences that link them to trips, and trips with cameras, it’s a sign of easiness and openness itself.

I think all we can be sure of at the moment is that they’re happier than they were the last time we saw them on those Disney screens. And that says a lot already for us to imagine, rationally, what could be coming next.

[hon3ymo0n]

Do you think that in the new season of Are You Sure?! they will talk about why they enlisted together, when they made the decision and when they sent the application?

Hi @jikookislifeee !❤️ I can’t believe that “new season of Are You Sure” is officially in our vocabularies in 2025. No matter when it’s being released, the fact that it EXISTS it’s so exciting and your ask reminded me of that even more.

Answering this is not easy both because it’s about something future and hypothetical and because we all know Jikook are very selective with their stories and sharing in general. My opinion is that they’ll be coherent with the change they’ve gone through in the military and that made them even more physically and emotionally tuned with each other. So it’s still too soon to say it, but if that change also implies bringing the vulnerability surrounding their bond at the table, then the pre-military deep talk could arise.

Everything we got so far was a simple “we thought it would’ve been fun to enlist together”. In their discharge day live. I don’t think they’re planning on going too far from this “casual” narrative, and that’s why I doubt that they shared more about it in AYS2. The buddy system was a very personal and intimate choice, following a tough year both as a pair and as a group. I understand that not every buddy has a deep talk about it before applying or that the delicate side of it is in between the lines, but Jikook communicate a lot. Plus, they’re a full support system for each other. And nothing they choose for each other that’s so deep is “just” for fun, for the sake of it, because they had the opportunity. Their story makes this very clear and that’s why I think the only way to talk about their buddy application honestly is by getting a little bit in the feels. And considering we have nothing to do with it… I doubt that’ll happen.

AYS1 is not a good example because they were at a different place, different mindset, before enlisting. So I don’t feel like saying that just because they didn’t share details during season 1, the same goes for season 2. I just believe they’ll be more on the telling stories side, hopefully they’ll share something about their night conversations too. But again, the reason why they enlisted together must be so human and genuine yet so delicate and personal that I’m not sure if they truly want to open up about it with us yet.

This is where my wishful thinking kicks in though, because if I mention change, and different mindsets and approaches, then I gotta say that there’s a chance Jimina and Jungkook wll also decide to portray their bond differently. Finally facing those vulnerable and soft sides surrounding it that they avoid very often. We always say that Jikook’s the only pair that, despite being so blatantly close and obviously affectionate, has never really labeled itself in front of the cameras and never really gave us one of those heart to heart talks about each other. And that’s a choice, totally, because they must have plenty of emotions for each other and emotional stuff to say about each other. They could make audiences all over the world cry for hours if only they wanted to just… be honest about each other. Nothing more, nothing less.

If the change they’ve gone through also influenced their choices then the answer to your ask is “a little bit”. They could share something about it. Maybe more technical details, maybe the funny side of it, maybe they’ll just go for it, full gas, and tell us how much they needed each other and why they applied. What I think is more likely to happen is for them to open up about feelings, about their military journey together, even about the hard times and emotional nights and convos, because the Are You Sure setting probably felt a little bit more comfortable than the first time, and definitely more than the set up livestream they do on weverse. Being in a new country, enjoying your time with someone you love, in the summer, fresh out of jail, must make you feel really relaxed and more opened to talk and express yourself. As for the buddy system specifically… maybe I’m just touching grass and staying too rational, but I think it’s something they’ll keep for themselves and their hearts only for a while, because they’re that kind of couple. They’ve got a little box where they put all the lovely personal stuff, and they hardly open it just for the sake of small talk or entertainment.

It honestly depends on the evolution their bond went through and how it will affect the relationship with the public, how it’ll show, the dynamics it will create between us, cameras and them. I’m curious to know others’ opinions too about this!

Thank you for stopping by and for reminding us all that somewhere in the future and the world there is AYS2 and it still sounds unreal.

Jimin’s nape:

Jungkook: 🫳🏼

It only just now struck me that when Jimin got his first moonphase tattoo, Jungkook had to abstain from rubbing, squeezing his now nearly unconscious touchstone while Jimin was healing. Helloooooooo 😭😭😭😭

The separation anxiety between Jungkook and Jimin’s nape?!?! must!?!? have been?!?! EPIC!?!?

@everJJKPJM

I wonder when he got his first one done and how often he had to slap Jungkook’s hand away.

Speaking of slapping, what if Jungkook’s latest chest tattoo came with a similar period of slap-stinence from Jimin, who loves to touch, squeeze, and slap Jungkook’s pillows 🤔🤔🤔 is there a pattern here????

[jiminrolls]

🌺🌺🌺

[fatedkm]

finally english subtitles! after giggling and smiling with them for two hours, here’s my thoughts

1. jungkook is attentive

this moment truly put a lot of things in perspective for me, everyone knows jungkook is somebody who really doesn’t care about showing his interests, even if it’s weird. he also always likes to remind fans he doesn’t care what people’s thoughts about him are. so for him to say to jimin “why can’t you say it” to me shows he’s showing jimin not to be afraid to express himself and talk about his interests, which is just really sweet of him. jungkook was the one to say the channel name as well, he really remembers everything about jimin (“i dont pay attention to things i don’t like” - jjk)

side note: jimin is so cute 😭😭 i also love science videos so this was a nice thing to learn about him

SANA (@busanacess) on X

The way Jk is encouraging jimin to speak openly about his interests without caring about certain norms bro im crying 😭❤️‍🩹

2. they talk to eachother in such a soft way

i find their bickering cute, i find how they laugh with eachother cute but when they go two octaves low and start speaking in such a soft and gentle tone i melt. (so does jungkook). it’s funny how fast they’ll go from bickering to speaking so soft to eachother we have to turn up the volume a little

3. ?????

not sure why jungkook felt the need to caress his chest like that when trying to figure out if jimin’s shirt is new but hey! nobody is mad at it

4. jimin yaps, jungkook listens

jimin came out of the military with a social battery that never dies. he’s always been someone who makes the room feel lighter and has everyone laughing but his tendency to ramble about a topic from what we’ve seen in these last couple of lives is so endearing. and jungkook is his ear, jungkook listens so well and answers jimin in a thoughtful way. they never run out of topics and when it’s even a little silent one of them starts asking random questions because they just love talking to eachother that much. when jungkook asked the question of “what exists in life that also doesn’t exist” i found it so interesting cause it’s such a random question but he really wanted to hear jimin’s thoughts. i truly think jungkook meant it when he said that their lives should just be them, they are comfortable and lighter when it’s just them

5. there is a clear difference

this is more of a broad one, the entire live being my evidence but the way they are with eachother and the way they are with other members is different. i don’t really care for what others would say about this but yes there is a clear difference. they have conversations that flow together better, it’s never awkward, they know eachother the best, they take care of eachother, it’s always reciprocated on both sides, jungkook finds jimin endearing and cute, he knows every little detail about him and will always show everyone how much he cares. jimin finds jungkook so funny, he also matches his humor, they click so well. after spending 18 months together there’s no dull moment, i couldn’t imagine them apart for more than a day.

ending this with this thread. if you watch and don’t pull your hair out from cuteness aggression and leave feeling like these two don’t have something special, i fear nothing will move you

[goldenhickeyss]

User J.m on IG: The cat I met a month ago

🐰: Kitty, hope you’re doing well!

🐰: So cute!

Also, what is with this firelit manger?!

Are they Joseph and Maria?! 😭

Someone tell me this is a high-end Swiss barn where they serve hot choco and apple strudel.

[jeonscatalyst-deactivated202511]

No one talked about this but jk literally said he doesn't wanna jk know every small detail about jm and jk says the same in return this doesn't sound like what the supposed lovers would say to each other right?

Hi anon.

I’m not sure whether you’re asking this in good faith or if you’re simply trolling (especially since I’ve seen similar asks circulating on other Jikook blogs), but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain the context you’re clearly missing.

Maybe you haven’t seen many people talk about it because, quite frankly, most people do understand the context. You see, there’s something called context… that means understanding what happened before and after a particular moment instead of isolating a single statement and twisting it to support a specific narrative. What you’re doing intentionally or not is fixating on one isolated line without taking into account the surrounding situation or dialogue.

Jimin and Jungkook were listening to a song. The song is titled;

(To A Lady) By Byun Jin-sub

And these are the lyrics

Verse 1

Perhaps, at first, it felt as if time had stopped—

as though you emerged from a mysterious realm.

On an early winter dawn that came rushing with autumn,

like a welcome snowfall, you approached me.

Verse 2

Your clear, bright smile so completely captivated my heart,

but the sadness I sometimes glimpse in your eyes

troubles my mind deeply.

Verse 3

I want to know even the smallest things about you,

yet somehow you won’t share them with me.

So if I can, I’ll visit you in your dreams at night…

quietly listen to your words in the silence of sleep.

(Chorus)

After VS 3 plays, Jimin says this :

So basically saying

“This song feels like it’s from Jungkook to me.”

He goes ahead to say this again:

In other words, Jimin is playfully suggesting that the song’s message reminds him of Jungkook… specifically Jungkook’s habit of sneaking into his room at night and filming him while he sleeps, which mirrors lyrics in the song.

“So if I can, I’ll visit you in your dreams at night…

quietly listen to your words in the silence of sleep.”

And then Jungkook says this:

This wasn’t some deep denial or rejection.. it was Jungkook reacting to Jimin’s playful association of the song to them. He was referencing the lyrics literally, almost as a way to deflect or lighten the moment, because Jimin’s interpretation was a little exposing. Essentially, Jungkook was like, “Okay, but I don’t literally go into your dreams, unlike the guy in the song.”

And then he goes further to say this:

Jungkook continued with more comments, again referring to parts of the song where the singer says he wants to know every little detail about the person he’s singing to. Jungkook countered that too…again, clearly leaning on the literal meaning of the lyrics as a light-hearted response to Jimin’s playful teasing.

Then Jimin says this too:

Jimin says same for him. He isn’t interested in Jungkook’s small details either. (I’m sure you know he only says this because Jungkook said it)

So anon, let me explain this to you like you in baby language;

Jimin hears a song with romantic, intimate lyrics and immediately links it to his relationship with Jungkook. He says it feels like something from Jungkook to him. That is Jimin publicly calling Jungkook out in a teasing, affectionate way. Jungkook gets a little flustered, and to deflect, he responds by focusing on the song’s literal lyrics to downplay what Jimin is implying.

This isn’t either of them saying they don’t care about each other’s personal details. They’re clearly joking around, using the lyrics as a playful script to riff off each other.

And if you need even more proof that this wasn’t a serious denial, let’s look at what was revealed during that very same live:

• Jungkook knows what song Jimin hums to himself when he’s alone.

• He knows the name of the science program Jimin likes to watch.

• He knows what Jimin does during the day.

• He visits Jimin’s room every single night to film him while he sleeps he even said he wakes up and gets curious about what Jimin is doing, so he goes to check.

• He knew Jimin had a conversation with Namjoon the night before and made a point to say he was “sleeping” then, as if clarifying why he wasn’t there.

• He knows Jimin won’t go to bed, no matter how tired he is, until he plays his games.

• He knows when Jimin might or might not be asleep.

So be honest, does this really sound like someone who isn’t interested in all the little details about Jimin?

This is where a lot of people get it wrong. You need to learn how to distinguish between playful teasing and serious declarations. Idols are human. They joke, they deflect, they tease. Not everything they say is meant to be taken literally. The problem with takes like yours is that you strip away that humanity and treat every word like a legal contract.

This moment is actually very similar to what happened with GCF Tokyo. Jimin was clearly the main focus he was Jungkook’s subject. But when Jimin brought that up very publicly, Jungkook got flustered again and said he didn’t have a “main model.” His words didn’t align with his actions at all.

So let’s step back and see the bigger picture:

Jungkook was playfully using literal lyrics to counter Jimin’s teasing implication that the song reflected their relationship. But nothing about that interaction actually suggests Jungkook isn’t interested in Jimin’s little habits. On the contrary he shows time and time again that he’s very in tune with them.

Hope this helps.

[heartofbusan]

Can you believe I still haven't watched this live due to my traveling schedule?

I heard and read that this live is insane, but you're telling me Jimin equated a love song, a hella romantic love song about the sweet kind of love jikook both have talked about before, the kind of love they idealise, with lyrics that squeeze your insides because they are both cheesy and true, so very true!

JIMIN DID THAT 😭😭😭😭 ?!!

Oh. OH. That is everything to me.

"He'd make the best boyfriend"

"This is the boyfriend shot"

"I'd date him"

"I am you, you are me x 134340"

"These were the best trips of my life"

"I'm always looking st you Jiminssi"

"Desert island? Jungkook."

"I want to go to the moon with Jungkook"

Screaming it from the rooftops doesn't do it justice. 😩

Unearth from the realms of the private, it will now be seen in public. The public be damned.

Seeing as South Korea is still living in the Middle Ages when it comes to LGBTQI acceptance, it makes sense for it to have many similarities with the norms from early nineteenth century United States. When being queer was a crime punishable by law.

This week saw a Vanity Fair article published about the private relationship between Carey Grant and Randall Scott. It caught my immediate attention for the similarities it had with Jikook and the way a lot of people view that relationship.

Are they/aren't they?

If people even dare to question the possibility of two people of the same sex being more than just friends, siblings or colleagues 😒

In the Grant/Scott and Jikook relationships, there is a similar layer of danger surrounding any form of 'confirmation' of the real nature of it, yet both sets of men were/are anything but subtle about how they feel about each other and their behavior towards one another.

I recommend you read the article, especially if you're of a certain age and have never heard of Carey Grant, who was immensely famous in his time. He was truly one of the biggest stars in Hollywood at that time, and, like so many closeted celebrities, he was also markedly heterosexual in the eyes of his biggest fans. Yet, so much of what he showed between the lines in his relationships did not conceal his true nature.

He lived together with Randall Scott under the guise of two up and coming young actors, both bachelors sharing a living space in order to save up. It's mind-boggling how, as his popularity grew, the industry forced Grant into a marriage while, on the other hand, he himself was toeing the line of nearly blurting for all to hear that he was queer. Unashamedly, so, I might add.

And yet, it remained a secret, and Scott and Grant never confirmed what was blindingly obvious to those who knew them.

Some choice quotes

“They go every place together and even share the same house." 👀

"Yet none of that—the debates over gay or bi or straight, who witnessed what and when, the coding of certain photoshoots—approaches the question of what Grant and Scott meant to one another, or how this relationship shaped who they became both privately and on-screen."

"...paint a unique portrait of cohabitation, codependency, and love—platonic at minimum, and very possibly romantic."

“Cary is the gay (in the merry sense of the word), impetuous one. Randy is serious, cautious,” he wrote. “Cary is temperamental in the sense of being very intense. Randy is calm and quiet. He must know a person for some time before he can break down and be absolutely natural.” At the time, the word temperamental was used among queer people to identify themselves. 👀

"They remained boldly public amid loudening whispers." 👀 👀 👀

Grant eventually married a woman who MOVED IN WITH GRANT AND SCOTT

You read that correctly: The boys were still living together. “Randy Scott has been constantly with us—the three of us get along so well,” Cherrill said, presumably through gritted teeth. (She’d eventually put her foot down and live with Grant alone until they divorced.) The “impetuous” Grant that Silver Screen had profiled a year earlier was nowhere to be found. After rambling through a defense of the three-way living arrangement—“It’s so huge Randy couldn’t possibly be in our way”—Grant asked the reporter if the dynamic was unconventional. When she assured him it was not, “Cary seemed so relieved.

It's crazy how we're now in 2025, and people still have to hide their sexuality, their lover, their partner, out of fear for discovery and what that might mean for their career and lives. Yes, I think it's completely valid to want to have a semblance of privacy when so much of your life is known by complete strangers

"You already know everything there is to know about us.."

It does not follow that they want to hide and conceal the ONE person who makes them feel whole. To say 'fuck it, deal with it',

'SO WHAT'

The boldness we've increasingly seen from jikook, their voices that bend around their affection, the touching that speaks on intimacy, the living/travelling/public/private arrangements that speak of their need to be domestic partners together, all of those things are signs that the 'so what' is coming to the surface.

I’ve Seen The Theory And…

I agree. I agree with the theory floating around that JK was sleeping in the same bed as JM when he decided to snap a photo of Jimin before going to bed. I agree based on the gestures made by them and the way that the story was described.

But I also agree because based on their history, it makes sense too.

I’m sorry but you can’t tell me that the two of them who slept side by side for the past 18 months during some of the surely most jarring and difficult times of their lives during MS are suddenly going to go ✨poof✨we aren’t going to sleep next to each other and sleep on elbows anymore.

Not buying that at all. Especially with the intimacy and flirty context that was displayed all throughout that live. I mean… notice how we haven’t gotten one since? 😔

What I do think is plausible is that this song camp is being filmed for content, so of course Jikook have “separate” rooms and aren’t technically sharing a bed in the eyes of whatever form we, the audience, will see.

But much like other content: BV seasons, ITS, AYS hell even while on tour, there were signs that they two of them slept in the same bed/room however you want to contextulize it.

And I’m sure all the extremely smart Jikook sleuths will be able to pick up on those subtle clues as well when we get official content from this and AYS season 2.

And I’ll be on the lookout 👀 even though I’m terrible at noticing things. I get my info from others and then rewatch footage to see if I draw the same conclusions. Usually, I do.

Until then… we wait. 🫡

No one talked about this but jk literally said he doesn't wanna jk know every small detail about jm and jk says the same in return this doesn't sound like what the supposed lovers would say to each other right?

Hi anon.

I’m not sure whether you’re asking this in good faith or if you’re simply trolling (especially since I’ve seen similar asks circulating on other Jikook blogs), but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain the context you’re clearly missing.

Maybe you haven’t seen many people talk about it because, quite frankly, most people do understand the context. You see, there’s something called context… that means understanding what happened before and after a particular moment instead of isolating a single statement and twisting it to support a specific narrative. What you’re doing intentionally or not is fixating on one isolated line without taking into account the surrounding situation or dialogue.

Jimin and Jungkook were listening to a song. The song is titled;

(To A Lady) By Byun Jin-sub

And these are the lyrics

Verse 1

Perhaps, at first, it felt as if time had stopped—

as though you emerged from a mysterious realm.

On an early winter dawn that came rushing with autumn,

like a welcome snowfall, you approached me.

Verse 2

Your clear, bright smile so completely captivated my heart,

but the sadness I sometimes glimpse in your eyes

troubles my mind deeply.

Verse 3

I want to know even the smallest things about you,

yet somehow you won’t share them with me.

So if I can, I’ll visit you in your dreams at night…

quietly listen to your words in the silence of sleep.

(Chorus)

After VS 3 plays, Jimin says this :

So basically saying

“This song feels like it’s from Jungkook to me.”

He goes ahead to say this again:

In other words, Jimin is playfully suggesting that the song’s message reminds him of Jungkook… specifically Jungkook’s habit of sneaking into his room at night and filming him while he sleeps, which mirrors lyrics in the song.

“So if I can, I’ll visit you in your dreams at night…

quietly listen to your words in the silence of sleep.”

And then Jungkook says this:

This wasn’t some deep denial or rejection.. it was Jungkook reacting to Jimin’s playful association of the song to them. He was referencing the lyrics literally, almost as a way to deflect or lighten the moment, because Jimin’s interpretation was a little exposing. Essentially, Jungkook was like, “Okay, but I don’t literally go into your dreams, unlike the guy in the song.”

And then he goes further to say this:

Jungkook continued with more comments, again referring to parts of the song where the singer says he wants to know every little detail about the person he’s singing to. Jungkook countered that too…again, clearly leaning on the literal meaning of the lyrics as a light-hearted response to Jimin’s playful teasing.

Then Jimin says this too:

Jimin says same for him. He isn’t interested in Jungkook’s small details either. (I’m sure you know he only says this because Jungkook said it)

So anon, let me explain this to you like you in baby language;

Jimin hears a song with romantic, intimate lyrics and immediately links it to his relationship with Jungkook. He says it feels like something from Jungkook to him. That is Jimin publicly calling Jungkook out in a teasing, affectionate way. Jungkook gets a little flustered, and to deflect, he responds by focusing on the song’s literal lyrics to downplay what Jimin is implying.

This isn’t either of them saying they don’t care about each other’s personal details. They’re clearly joking around, using the lyrics as a playful script to riff off each other.

And if you need even more proof that this wasn’t a serious denial, let’s look at what was revealed during that very same live:

• Jungkook knows what song Jimin hums to himself when he’s alone.

• He knows the name of the science program Jimin likes to watch.

• He knows what Jimin does during the day.

• He visits Jimin’s room every single night to film him while he sleeps he even said he wakes up and gets curious about what Jimin is doing, so he goes to check.

• He knew Jimin had a conversation with Namjoon the night before and made a point to say he was “sleeping” then, as if clarifying why he wasn’t there.

• He knows Jimin won’t go to bed, no matter how tired he is, until he plays his games.

• He knows when Jimin might or might not be asleep.

So be honest, does this really sound like someone who isn’t interested in all the little details about Jimin?

This is where a lot of people get it wrong. You need to learn how to distinguish between playful teasing and serious declarations. Idols are human. They joke, they deflect, they tease. Not everything they say is meant to be taken literally. The problem with takes like yours is that you strip away that humanity and treat every word like a legal contract.

This moment is actually very similar to what happened with GCF Tokyo. Jimin was clearly the main focus he was Jungkook’s subject. But when Jimin brought that up very publicly, Jungkook got flustered again and said he didn’t have a “main model.” His words didn’t align with his actions at all.

So let’s step back and see the bigger picture:

Jungkook was playfully using literal lyrics to counter Jimin’s teasing implication that the song reflected their relationship. But nothing about that interaction actually suggests Jungkook isn’t interested in Jimin’s little habits. On the contrary he shows time and time again that he’s very in tune with them.

Hope this helps.

I love this picture

But it also makes me giggle because JK would NOT leave my man alone all night with that camera. And you could tell Jimin was getting a bit annoyed. Then there's Namjoon one step behind Jungkook, making sure another band member is getting filmed because my dude was really just following Jimin around.

I can't find the pic, but this is the same night where they are filmed backstage walking together and JK has his arm wrapped TIGHT around Jimin.

Like the man had caught a scent or something 😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧🤧
