Well, *moves the chilly bin I’m sitting on a little closer; looks wistfully into the flames* I was big into Big Bang. Like big time. I thought Top was my soulmate. I was sure of it. But then I saw the Run MV when it first came out on SBS pop asia, which I watched every weekend. Things changed. But I was still only in it for the music, the MVs, the fashion, the variety shows etc. I had no idea there was this whole other thing–the shipping. The burning obsession. Even fanfics? I had no idea. I read my first fic at the start of 2017 (I am a noob). I was just a big music/pop culture buff. And Yoongi was my bias. But then youtube really fucked me in the ass. I started watching as much BTS content as I could, especially once big bang started to die down a little before MADE was released. And of course, you watch any BTS YT vid and you’re inevitably gonna get hit with a taekook suggestion. I initially thought fans were just insane. I watched those vids for lols, thinking WTF, YOU PEOPLE ARE OUT OF YOUR MINDS. I didn’t even notice when it evolved into an actual thing I was fixated with. I used to say I was obsessed with the obsession. It was just so weird to me, the whole notion of shipping. But then I fell in actual love with them. I think it was a JK jealously vid? I’m so soft for jealously. Suppressed feelings. Unrequited love. Stolen glances, subtle touches. After that, I became a taekook champion! Haven’t looked back (sorry Yoongi, but we’re still bros). Like you said, I can make anything gay 😉 LMAO. And Taekook are 🌈 as hell. The mind is beautiful thing. It got worse when I started reading fics (RIX YOU RUINED MY LIFE), and worse again when I started writing them. I’m really fucked now, but aren’t we all? The great escape. Taekook provides it 💞 I hope they invite me to their wedding.
