Day 2 Stanford soundcheck 18 May 2026.
Thank you Black N' White yet again for documenting this moment with your gorgeous photographs.
Saw this clip and had me thinking how we get Jikook. We get that they love each other. We get that they are in love. We get that they are each other's "one and only". We get the intimacy and the ease and the safe space and we get that what they have is so much MORE than what so many want to label them as.
And we get that because of these kind of moments.
Little, sometime seemingly insignificant moments.
A little touch here, a tiny smirk there.
But these little moments are EVERYTHING.
It's the lightness of the touch, sometimes an almost touch. The gentle but also so needy approach.
It's the facial expressions.
It's the overwhelming amount of these moments and their consistency for over a decade.
It's how it's been almost 11 years.
And the way they look at each other and touch each other and are with each other is like this is all new and exciting and filled with adoration and awe... The level of intimacy is over the roof (clearly not a new relationship, clearly you can see this is a settled calm long term relationship) and yet the way they look at each other and act around each other at times feels like this is all new and fresh and like they are in utter surprise and awe that this person is theirs.
I've been watching them for the past few weeks since the tour started.
We've seen all the moments, there are so many of them. The cute interactions, the looks, the whispers, the touches.
So what is it about this moment that had me go: "This is something I have to write about"?
Well, 2 things had me at pause.
The first and obvious one was JK going for JM's necklace (or so it looks like).
Reminded me of this moment:
That need of JK's to touch that necklace, which to me, sorry not sorry, is him admiring his purchase and/or stating his purchase. There, said it!!
But the second moment, that's the one that really got me.
And I might be over reaching here, but I can't help it. It gives me the feels.
JK's reaction to JM's touch.
And the dude reacts to JM's touch like he's been touched by an angel.
That need to touch his skin where JM touched him. Like he's rubbing it into his skin, for memory. Almost like wanting it to stay permanently there, like his tattoos.
Idk, maybe it's me being a little over emotional here, but damn, these two they kind of have that effect on me.
This here is what fairytales are made of.
