Domesticity in action.
That VLive just showed the many reasons why I Absolutely adore Jimin and Jungkook's relationship and dynamics.
Let me break it down for y'all:
1. The way they talk to each other.
Jimin with his formal and soft way of speaking to and addressing Jungkook ("JK-ssi"), even though he's older. How Jungkook spoke informally while referring to Jimin as Jimin-ssi (which is a formal honorific that can be translated as "Mr", but if you've been here for a while, you'd know he uses it either to tease or casually refer to JM without saying hyung). Jimin letting Jungkook speak to him informally - even saying "Jimin-ah!" at one point. Them speaking to each other with soft tones ‐ I mean, just listen to that phone call. Jungkook casually scolding Jimin (with that teasing tone) for having the mic placed so low - which ended with the both of them giggling and smiling together.
2. The way they show their concern and care for each other.
During the phone call, JK was the one who asked JM if he should come over to him during the live, even though he was in the middle of a workout (and even arrived a little more than a minute after the phone call ended). Jimin telling him to not overdo said workouts. Jungkook telling Jimin that Jimin is the star of that day. Jimin reassuringJungkook that he is welcome to be in his live since ARMY loves all members. Jungkook bringing not just one, but two water bottles after Jimin requested to bring him one. Jimin saying he missed Jungkook and felt contented with him being there (& didn't want him to leave 🥺). It's this sweet back-and-forth that you get to see whenever they are together. I love that so much.
3. The way we can see their closeness just by the tidbits of what they say and know about each other.
Jungkook complimenting Jimin's mom's kimchi, when in Korean culture, you usually give high praise to your OWN mom's cooking 😂. This tells us that those moments of JK joining the Park family in eating together in Busan must have been good memories for our dear foodie (or JK tasting JM's bottled kimchi at home, since Korean moms usually bring large quantities of kimchi to their children's places). I found that so cute, knowing that the very first thing Jungkook's mom said to Jimin in that one RUN ep. was "Jimin-ah, I love you!" 🥺. I love how they're close to each other's families.
Another thing is how Jimin was using Jungkook's studio, which shouldn't be questionable in itself, but for some reason, Hobi had to ask during the Live 😅. I still don't know what to take from the look Jikook gave to each other and Jimin shying away lol. What we know is that, Jimin knows the passcode to JK's studio. Okay then.
4. The way they laugh with each other.
I'm just so down bad for their giggles. Jimin and Jungkook giggling compilation videos can heal every aspect of my being. I'm serious. It's how they find saying "Jwemen~~" and "Jeykeyy~~" with an airy voice so funny. Just. Their laughter heals my soul.
5. The way you can see how comfortable they are with each other's presence.
That's the whole VLive right there.
---
This is the end, for now. I'm just very happy to see my babies being happy, knowing that they're working hard for the concerts, Jimin saw his family, Jungkook having his lips pierced: it makes my heart so full. I hope we get to see to see them be their lovely, giggly selves in the near future (VERY near, I hope!!) 💜💛
