my heart is so full seeing him happy like this

JIMIN dancing to Jhope's "Killing it Girl" on Instagram.

25.06.24

[andy-wm]

no but babes, jungkook giggling in the background?? it took me right back to that gcf short he posted of jimin where he giggled the same way 😭 it’s legit giving déjà vu. kookoo finds his mimi way too precious i’m cryinggg.

[andy-wm]

Jimin could have chosen to record a dance challenge for Hobi and post it without the intro, the giggles and the hashtags! He could have also used Instagram music.

Instead he chose to play the song from a different source with background noise very clear, have that shaky intro where we can hear JK mumbling “it’s should be a crime just to look that fine!” mind you, totally irrelevant to the challenge, but very relevant to the message being put across.

And then the end where we all clearly hear his man’s giggles!

And if that wasn’t enough, he added the #JK!

Practically leaving no stone unturned.

Very DELIBERATE! Very LOUD! Very PROUD!!!!

[andy-wm]

Jungkook being unable to contain his giggles around Jimin because he is just that fond of him. Oh they are something alright. I just shot up straight when I got that notification and saw the tags. And as usual you have Jimin flowing into the beat so effortlessly that a set of movements feels like one. I’m already hungry for more.

[andy-wm]

I hope HOPE theyre getting personal tiime along with whatever else theyre doing. And by personal time I mean nosy, invasive people aren't taking photos and recording their conversations.

Yes, I am still mad about that.

Where ever they are...

They actually deserve every single minute that they are taking AWAY from EVERYBODY. Period.

They've just spent 18 months in the military. 18 months in a HIGHLY CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. Remember?

If they want to travel around the world and never post or share anything about it, let them. They deserve the privacy, the time away, the happiness it brings them, and the chance to just BE THEMSELVES as regular human beings.

Yeah.

If content comes, awesome. If not, that's cool, too.

I'm just so tired of people complaining, and talking like somehow ARMYs are entitled to information, photos, videos, and Lives. ARMY's ought to be putting themselves in Jimin and Jungkook's shoes, for a hot minute. Think about them as humans, and not some "thing" that is supposed to "feed" the fans, or produce content just because ARMYs expect it....

Yeah. Get a grip. Reality is a good thing. Fantasy land is not.

Let Jimin and Jungkook just be.

I'm so over it.

[andy-wm]

Again with posting photos taken without their awareness or permission?

Come on guys 😕 we are better than this

Don't say you support Jikook if you also post or share photos of them taken without their knowledge.

The photos shared so far may be innocuous enough but it's only a matter of time before somebody takes a photo that compromises them.

YOU ARE PUTTING THEM AT RISK.

Can they have just a few minutes together alone without the fear of being photgraphed? Imagine if this was YOU being photographed every time you left your house. Do you realise how stressful it must be to never be able to let your guard down?

Don't they already share enough?

Is the 5 minute thrill you get from those photos worth more than Jimin and Jungkook's trust that you have their back?

If you do this, how is it any different from sending food orders to JK's apartment, or hanging around his home or gym?

It's not. It's no different. It's invading privacy and encouraging stalking.

It's also creepy as fuck to take pictures of people when they dont know they're being photographed.

Dont be that creepy fucker.

You don't NEED to see or share these photos. We know they're out there together doing something.

Be patient, you'll find out eventually (or you won't if it's personal time for them, and that's fine too).

I'm blocking anyone who pops up on my feed with a photo of them doing whatever it is they're doing.

If you honestly support them, stop sharing these photos.

It's not rocket science.

[andy-wm]

Yup, he definitely was looking up there A LOT, and i doubt he was looking at Mr Lee.....

Me:

My thoughts exactly. 🙂‍↕️

[andy-wm]

Maybe not world peace, all things considered, but ya know those vids for anxious dogs? Squirrels and birds eating seeds? Yeah, a Jikook duck-feeding video could very well be the calm & happy place we all need right now.

I’m not saying that watching Jikook feed the ducks right now would bring world peace but I’m not NOT saying that either

[andy-wm]

Jimin killin' it & Kookie giggling

Well isn't this cute 🥰

Of course they're together...

They're Always together

And yes, i replayed Kook's giggles a few times because reasons (and please note Kook's expert camera work too hahaha)

Here's the link:

The pillow is always ready😜🐥♥️🐰

[andy-wm]

Handshake = kiss

I love it.

And I relate so strongly to the 3 hours... I also pause, rewind, watch their hands, read the subtitles, watch their expressions... rewind... repeat

So glad they were serving together and are now home together (or wherever together)

What’s all the excitement in the Jikook tag about? Please help a non-TwiX user understand 🧎‍♀️‍➡️🙏

Oh, hiiii

It's a picture of JM and JK together somewhere, they say, an airport. I saw a drawing of it, and it's honestly so funny 😂😂

The excitement is because the picture implies they went to the U.S. together.

Well... they've been together all this time, so this is just the icing on the cake with an extra large cake topper with both of your initials on it. Like a wedding cake, lmao

I still say Hobi gifted them this Dadaism cake.

Seriously, what was the idea behind this wonderful monstrosity? It's like a child's drawing of a cake came to life.

Beautiful. Horrible? Delicious.

I'm currently on hour 3 of watching their discharge live (which in reality only lasts an hour), but I keep replaying little bits of it. Like when they do saatoori as they are scolding each other. It reminded me of when they were bickering over spam vs. sausage during AYS?! They used the same tone, intonation, the pouty beaks, and veiled aggression.

They say, 'shall I reveal the real you?' shall I tell them how you really are? in such a teasing tone and it's such an interesting peek at their 'real face'. During the live, they say 'we're rough', 'out of practice', so they're having trouble putting on their celebrity face: polite and easily digestible for audience.

They're basically admitting to being much rougher and admit to having fewer boundaries when they're in private.

Their restraint, keeping 'It' in during lives/in public, should be studied. Real diplomats. They can show you one thing and be totally loose and relaxed in private. That's honestly why I believe their privacy is of the utmost importance. How exhausting to constantly have to put on a face, to feel inadequate because you can't be yourself entirely. For them to have those pockets of freedom, should be of all our concern.

I love seeing those real faces 🥺 like I'm genuinely honored to witness that. 💗

Ooof.. this little detail kind of broke me.

Yes, It's slo-mo, and jikook do not need slow-motion, BUT I felt that little extra squeeze needs its moment in the sun. To take center stage. That squeeze is just for them. Jimin thanking Jungkook for the compliment he gave him regarding his performance. Jungkook called him an 'Ace', and we know how Jimin thrives on Jungkook honest compliments. It's like that line from Pride and Prejudice.

"But your good opinion is rarely bestowed and therefore more worth the earning."

Jungkook is a 'I might not talk a lot, but when I do, it's from the heart' kinda dude.

So, whomever initiated it, that handshake squeeze, is a little extra reassurance and, more importantly, a silent and 'easily digestible for audience' moment of connection.

For jikook, the handshake = kiss

💜

can i ask whats the significance of 1108? im kinda new to jikook (and bts as a whole really lol)

Hi Anon,

This is a great question.

My short answer is that many jikook supporters think 8 November 2015 is the date their relationship status changed. They've played with those numbers so many times over the years that even a sceptic like me can see there's some significance there.

If you want to read about their references to 11:08 there are many posts that discuss numerology and couple culture in Korea but purely for 11:08, I'd start with these:

This post by @stormblessed95

This post by @jikooklove9795

And lastly, welcome to the fold

Jikook have a beautiful relationship, what ever way you look at it 💛🔥💜

Don't mind the haters, they too will find their happy place one day.

[andy-wm]

"They stayed"

Yes, we stayed.

Thank you @slaaverin for posting a link to the Jikook military discharge Wlive with English subs

So many little things caught my eye but this moment right here stopped me in my tracks:

Yes, we stayed.

Here it is in context:

I guess i can only speak for myself but I'm certain there are millions of ARMYs who feel the way I do.

BTS is where I belong. I'm not going anywhere. I can't imagine my life without them. I haven't even tried to imagine my life without them.

I don't want to.

And within BTS, Jimin and Jungkook bring me a joy that i don't think I could find anywhere else.

For many reasons - some of them altruistic and some completely selfish - cheering on these two young men who obviously mean so much to each other is something I cherish. I delight in the bond they share.

The way they are together is redemptive.

They give me just a little more faith in humanity.

It's not something I'd ever want them to know because it would add to the huge burden they already carry, but they have brought a glow of warmth to my life that i didnt know was missing. They heal an invisible hurt. I'm sure this is true for many of us.

I'm not under any illusion that their relationship is perfect. What does perfect even look like? The idea is so subjective.

We only see what they show us but what they have looks pretty damn good from the outside.

They hold space for one another, and support each other in hard times. They celebrate their achievements and take responsibility for their shortcomings, both individual and collective. They are unreserved with their affection and admiration.

I stayed for BTS - for their music and performance and artistry. I stayed for these seven amazing humans who I admire so much, and I stayed for my ARMY community.

But what a bonus Jikook are! They're a whole extra serving of dessert in an already delicious meal.

I have no expectations that they will always be together because life has a way of making fools of people who have expectations.

But i have a whole separate dessert stomach for jikook ...

and I'm going to feast on everything they serve up, with a double helping of honey-oh-honey and all the gooey sweetness I can bear.

Finally a translation by chimpumdal 👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing, now we can finally rewatch the live 😭😭 won't be able to do it before the end of the day, can't wait!!

[andy-wm]

Yesterday, namjoon and taehyung arrived in separate cars because they served in different places, and left the hybe building in different cars, to go to each of their homes. You can see on videos of fans after the weverse live that the two cars go out one after another. Today, jimin and jungkook arrived in the same car because they served together, but left the hybe building after the weverse live in only one car as well 👀😌🤭

Hey Anon,

So actually two cars left Hybe after the jikook live on 11 June. I can only assume they left to go to different locations. Which is totally fine of course. I'd imagine both of them had family and friends who wanted to see them, and they don't need to be together 24/7 😁

Your observation about Jikook's sleep pattern and which side they prefer seems more and more accurate, considering when Jimin was telling his story in their live and showing how Jk slept in his arms, it aligns with their sleep patterns they were showing throughout AYS. So JK does prefer sleeping on the right it seems. I love when a natural pattern/routine comes together on its own, with no over analyzing needed. A consistent pattern and now Jimin has kinda confirmed it in their live.

Anon you're exactly right. What they are is consistent.

There's never a (plausible) situation that makes me think "wait this doesnt fit with the story they've been telling us."

I'm not talking about grainy film footage of a similar looking person taken through a window, or a random idol flying somewhere on the same date. I'm talking about what we see clearly and constantly.

This is one of those things.

And let's be honest, no matter my state of mind or my need for security I wouldn't be sleeping on my friend's arm, inhaling their breath. I wouldn't be doing that with my blood siblings either.

I have a lovely (pretty hot) friend who I will snuggle with in bed or on a couch. I love cuddling and we're both affectionate people. I still won't sleep with my face in her face. It's too intimate.

But these two do it over and over...
