BTS film Run episodes 116-117. This is supposedly around the time TK were not close but there is no discord or displays of being uncomfortable when around each other. They hug, sing together, sit closely, share hand gestures, etc, in both episodes.
While waiting for members to get ready, Jk starts playing with slime and Tae takes an interest in this, first watching attentively and then joining him.
At the start of the first mission, as staff gives instructions, you can see that Taekook begin to really enjoy their play. Tae looks on to Jk while chatting and smiling, then mimics him by energetically molding the slime.
Taekook continue to appear to be in their own little world. As the members express concerns about the difficulty of the first mission, Tae shifts closer to Jk. Both are smiling and not paying attention to the instructions.

Meanwhile, the rest process what they’ve been told and get mentally prepared.
Then, when it’s time to get into action, Jungkook demonstrates that he was in fact clueless about the rules, not finding out they were required to pose differently until after the first try.
During a practice round, the members act out “Run BTS”. As the members tease Jin and Hobi for enacting the same pose, Tae moves on by facing forward and is met with something that catches his attention, turning his body and focus solely to Jungkook, away from the others members’ discussion.
Jk turns towards the members to show his action better but everyone except Tae is still distracted over the Jin-Hobi dilemma, so he then slightly adjusts his angle to momentarily direct it to Tae in an one-on-one fashion.
Tae, in return, reaches to Jk to enthusiastically show him how he acted out “Run BTS”.
Jk is distracted though in cutely showing the staff what gesture he did.

As part of the first mission, the members are asked to act out “V”. Tae points to himself while Jk points towards him.
The members are impressed by Tae pointing at himself. As Yoongi repeats that it was a brilliant idea and Joon exclaims “Oh V!”, Jk simply smiles as he continues to point.
Tae suddenly realizes he wasn’t alone in this and “explains” directly to Jk that he is “V”, letting out a satisfied giggle. Jk agrees and smiles brightly.
Tae praises Jk while touching his arm as he complains about him being the only one to think to point to him, all the others doing V signs.
During a break from missions, Tae and Jk harmonize in karaoke. They initially explore a couple different games until Tae sees Jk with the mic and aproaches him, waiting for Jk’s song to be over so they can take turns. Somehow, Jk ends up joining in the middle of Tae’s turn despite his mic not actually working.
The subtext was interesting as they sang together.
The vlive subtext at the same time stamp as the Weverse one, but greatly differs in the subtext -
Hobi says it’s his favorite song and tells Jk and Tae they should later sing this for him. He must like the sentiment they both have.
They then take a minuscule pause from karaoke before coming back to it. Jk yells out a song request, eager to continue.
When it’s time to blindly pick the second mission Hobi predicts that Taekook would sing a lot that day - as if they could grow tired of it - probably because he thought karaoke would be included between the options. Jungkook proclaims that he likes singing (so he doesn’t mind at all). It’s something he and Tae have in common.

BTS complete the double jump rope mission and run to hug each other. Tae wraps one arm around JK’s neck while Jk wraps both arms around Tae’s waist before registering that it was supposed to be a group hug.

Tae picks the jumping rope back up just as they break the group hug, interested in the activity, and Jk follows suit.
Jk decides he too will enjoy some more jumping and takes the lead as others discuss the menu -
Tae moves to the other side to have good space.
Jk turns towards Tae, taking some steps in his direction, and expectantly looks at him before being approached and diverting his attention away from Tae. Here he looks at Tae with the hint of a smirk -

The maknae line mimic each other in dance moves as Joon raps to Eminem during another break, with Tae and Jk being exact copies that move side by side.
Behind the scenes HD photo: note this photo was actually released after Run 117 aired but since it fits in what TK were doing during Run 116 we have decided to add it here for cohesiveness.
Tae and Jk sing together at another point, this time a fun, hype song.
The subtext was, again, interesting. Throughout the episode we saw the editor(s) utilizing positive, romantic subtexts for Taekook. Keep in mind, the editors have added in positive subtext for other pairings, but Taekook rarely had subtext with romantic connotations (and were repeatedly referred to as brothers until 2020) until the new contracts took effect.

Once they gather to eat, Tae asks if the food is spicy and Jk quickly responds to reassure him it’s not.
