#TKX DO LOL

[taejinchronicles]

Hye! I have been following your blog for a long time and i seriously am in love with your blog! The first time i get into bts, i quick to notice taejin interaction which then lead me into this ship.. especially the couple clothes thingy. I want to ask, did you also notice that jin and tae wear the same bracelet for a while now? I saw them wearing it from fire era until bv2.. Or am i overthinking it? Hope you can help me in this since i have been wondering bout this a lot. Lots of love ~<3~

Hey there bunnybueno,

Tkx for the lovely message, for following my blog and being in love with it!  

Same with me, Taejin just had all the distinguished attributes of an obvious relationship since the first BTS video I saw in my life. To be honest I have never seen two idols or two celebrities with such a strong bond and clearly defined mutual affection as Jin and V. And it’s not just fan-service banter or even physical attraction, between Jin and V we can see genuine mutual romantic affection and that is what makes them so special and unique.

Yes, Jin and V wore matching bracelets for a long period from 2015-early 2016, they also shared another bracelet in various occasions from 2015 until 2016 and there is the current Gucci bracelet. So lets do a masterpost. 

1. TAEJIN BRACELETS | Engraved cuff bracelets.

The iconic Taejin cuff bracelets, (first?) seen on that 2015 Vlive in Thailand. Jin wore this matching bracelet until late 2016. It was a couple bracelet made in sterling silver and it had a custom made engraved message on it. These types of bracelets are often used by couples or loved ones, there is a love quote outside and the lovers initials on the inside of the bracelet. Notice that this is not a random bracelet that you can find on any shop, the Taejin cuff bracelet is special and most likely custom made.

The bracelet seen on that 2015 Thailand Vlive

Because the couple cuff thing happened in 2015 Thailand, we can assume Taejin were already close enough to be rocking a matching engraved bracelet by mid-end 2015. The date of the bracelet is important to understand a bit better the Taejin timeline since some people are quite confused by Jin and V’s behaviour and their erratic interaction back then. If you ask me, Taejin were already in a relationship in mid 2015. They kissed on stage, they were wearing matching bracelets, Jin was in a behaviour and public-image transition and Taehyung was already displaying a possessiveness and clinginess towards Jin that was unthinkable when he had a very well documented (and platonic) romantic obsession with Jin. 

2. TAEJIN BRACELET | The rope themed cuff bracelet

This is another Taejin matching sterling silver cuff bracelet Jin and V wore this bracelet in various occasions from 2015 until 2016. These are matching cuff bracelets, both in in silver with a distinguished rope type of design in the middle of the cuff. Jin ofter wore if together with the Taejin engraved cuff.

I don’t remember seeing Jin wearing any of the Taejin bracelets in BV2 (Taejin wear Gucci bracelets in 2017 but not matching ones), but he still wears the engraved bracelet from time to time, the Tajin bracelet still is Jin’s most worn piece of jewelry. I think Jin likes to do those romantic things for Taehyung cause he knows he cares about this kind of stuff as we saw on BV2 with the matching hats and also with his obsession with buying Jin designer clothes and matching outfits. Remember in BV2 when V gets Jin the matching hat and Jin says cause he bought it for him, he will wear it every single day in Hawaii? So yeah, that’s how Jin is, a romantic boy! Also couple outfits/items is a huge thing in Korea and Japan, they consider it a romantic kawaii gesture and a proof of affection.

The bracelet makes a comeback in this iconic Taejin moment

Another thing to keep in mind, all BTS members like to wear similar-share stuff and some shippers use that as a proof of their ships. It got to such extreme that about a month ago a V’kook shipper bought them a Tiffanys couple rings and gave it to them separately at a fan meeting. Both Taehyung and Jungkook wore the ring cause they had no idea the shipper gave the rings as an intention to legitimize V’kook. When Taehyung noticed it was a couple ring he immediately took it off and gave his away to Kookie. Some huge BTS youtube fan channels claimed this was a proof V’kook was engaged. LOL can you imagine the desperation (not to mention the disrespect) to deceive V and Kookie to make the imaginary ship less delusional? So let’s not jump to conclusions when any of the boys wear the same stuff or ‘couple’ items cause sometimes it is a fan gift, sometimes it’s their stylist choice or sometimes it is cause of their close brotherhood.

But you know, Jin and Taehyung’s decision to wear a custom matching bracelets was their own. The Puma couple hoodie was definitely not a fan gift and neither was the BV2 couple hats Taehyung bought for them or their choice to dress in matching outfits quite often or his current obsession to dress Jin in his own Gucci items or Burberry. Also the Gucci ring was something V himself got for Jin on their Las Vegas date. None of those evidences belong to a crazy conspiracy created by the fandom to prove a fictional chip. This is about their choices made in their private lives and it has nothing to do with fan-service or a commercial ship push. 

So you are not overthinking. By the end of the day the explanation is quite simple: Jin and V probably like to have tangible tokens of their affection like normal people in a relationship often do. 

Lots of love.

A VERDADE DOI, MAS CURA! HATTERS GONNA HATE

[taejinchronicles]

Can we talk about Tae's outfit on Daily Denny LOL?

Hey there ‘Tae’s outfit’ anon,

Yep we can talk about it darling, I will also use your ask as an excuse for a Taejin in America masterpost about this particular interview and fashion! 

Our prince V out there rehearsing for the AMAs in Burberry pajamas! Got to love him! While every human being in this world would legit look like an umbrella wearing that outfit, Taehyung looks so damn cute, so lovely, so cuddly and ready to go to bed to have a nap with Jin.

I also have the impression Taejin were the ultimate sleepy duo at that AMAs rehearsal + Danny interview, Taehyung was indeed wearing a very expensive pajamas, but Jin also prefers the oversized comfy hoodies when he is sleepy. Poor Taejin, they need a nap.

As a bonus we have sleepy Taejin mirroring their reactions, entire body language and facial expressions at the Daily Denny interview. It is quite entertaining to just observe them actually!

Notice that Jin and Taehyung are the only ones fully mirroring, and this is quite common in most interviews they are in. Mirroring happens when the brain responds to the psychological symbiosis like the two people are in sync, this is the first indication of mutual attraction and co-dependency and it is easily noticed in couples who even start to physically look-alike. 

It is easy to spot these body language responses when the boys are giving their full attention to someone else, like for instance an interviewer, cause they cannot mask their basic unconscious reactions like when BTS are just amongst themselves. This is why people are freaking out on my asks about the absurd amount of obvious Taejin confirmations caught on camera in America, it’s getting very easy to the trained eyes to spot their dynamics. 

Jin and Taehyung cannot help but mirroring each other, this is how the body responds when people are emotionally intimate and deeply attached to one another, like Taejin have been for a few years now. 

And again.

And again.

And again.

Bonus:

Oh going back to the science of fashion, Taehyung is living a Burberry fever. We saw him rocking the Burberry scarf on his way to LA.

And guess what, we also saw Taejin in Burberry on that adorable cooking Vlive Run where Taejin were wearing a Burberry couple outfit. Jin with a cashmere cotton sweater and V with a signature Burberry wool overcoat. The lovely taejinaddict has just reminded me that Jinnie has actually confirmed it was Taehyung who gave him this sweater on his 2016 birthday, so yes, we can say it was his intention for Jin to wear Burberry as a matching outfit with him on the Vlive.

So the question is, since Taehyung is a Gucci boy but our minimalist-geeky Jin is not (apart from their stage clothes, Jin only wears that Gucci ring he got from Taehyung in Vegas and Tae’s white Gucci snickers), are they finally finding a common style in the more traditional brand Burberry? 

What we do know for sure is that Taejin love the couple outfit mania, it’s their thing (the hoodie, V picking Jin’s clothes in Hawaii, their secret date at the BigBang concert in couple outfits) and I feel it’s mainly cause of Taehyung’s fashion passion and his obsession for Taejin to become this ultimate fashionable couple. And we know Jin always indulges his beloved VV’s needs (to the point of wearing the couples red hat V bought him throughout his entire Hawaii trip) so I believe we will be seeing lots more ‘boyfriends in Burberry’ Taejin in the future.

One last thing about V’s outfit. This Burberry pajamas look is so iconic that V was previously featured on Teen Vogue just cause of it! Yep it was worth of an Teen Vogue article, this look. I mean, what a true style icon Jin’s boyfriend mirroring pair and bedmate is.

And the more I see Taehyung’s fashion, the more I realise this little fashion prince can rock virtually anything he wants, he could wear a trash bag and get away with it looking like the most stylish person in the planet. It’s an art really, his awesome style.

Tkx for the question.

Lots of love.

So just curious how are you differentiating jealous tae and rbf tae? He's called blank tae for a reason right, so can you elaborate a little?? He seems to have a blank/neutral face so I can't tell haha

Hello there Plannbee (are you secretly Brad Pitt? cause that’s almost the name of his film company!)!!!

Well I think I differentiate Jealous Tae from Blank Tae by the body language analysis and the psychological understanding of the situation mainly. Also cause he is never jealous of other members, his behaviour gravitates just Jin. 

We all know Blank Tae, that amusing phenomenon consist of our boy’s facial expression being neutral or totally lost in his own dream world. Here are some examples:

On the other hand Jealous Tae gives those indisputable micro expressions and unconscious body behaviours that are scientifically related to possessiveness on people who are in a romantic relationship with the object of affection. There are many actions that our body expresses when we feel jealousy for a romantic partner like uneasiness, touching the ear, eyes, mouth, frowning, trying to call the attention for yourself, staying between your lover and the “rival”, blocking the rival with your body, the death stare, puffing the chest. Basically we see him doing a long list of all those behaviours combined every time someone comes near Jin these days. 

Here we have some combos of Jin with each member and Taehyung’s extremely possessive reaction:

Jin + Rapmon = Jealous V

As we all know by now V really can’t with he highly popular ship of Nam’jin. When it comes to Nam’jin he just cannot even hide his discomfort and possessiveness towards his boy, it’s so obvious even I feel uncomfortable for him. But for the purpose of our analysis we will see his Nam’jin kiss reaction. He looks like he is in physical pain, poor baby. Here Taehyung examines the situation, his body moves in discomfort like he wants to run away from there and take Jin with him, he watches Jin’s reaction over the monitor, glances at RM’s happy reaction, has a gloomy droopy mouth, places his hand on his temples like he’s got the worst love migraine, hides his eyes, he looks away, gives a frustrated sign. He legit looks desperate and it’s painful to watch the entire segment. 

Jin + Jimin = Jealous V

He might be his bestie, but DO NOT MESS WITH HIS JINNIE being Jimin or not it doesn’t matter, V will turn into this possessive beast. Here we see the same pattern, examines the situation, V moving uncomfortably, looking straight at the Jin’min interaction, giving them the death stare, coughing to call the attention for himself, the very obvious jealous sigh of the ear touch, gloomy droopy mouth and looking away, very annoyed. I guess Jimin Third Wheeling is not always so welcomed…

Jin + Kookie = Jealous V

Here is the classic one that this confused fandom still believe as being a V’kook moment. Sorry but it’s Tae vs Jinkook moment. The same typical Taehyung jealous moves happen here. He tries to be subtle (epic fail) in examine the situation, after noticing how Jin’s entire body is spooning Kookie he gives the most annoyed sigh, presses his lips like he is mad as F, his body moves as if he could not control his actions and then he acts. We all know what happens next so yeah, sorry to break your hearts V’kookies but this nothing special, this is just another day of V being extremely territorial with his Jinnie. Also that ISAC day was too much to poor Taehyung’s heart since we saw moments of him following KenJin like he was about to combust in a jealous pit and Taejin having olympic lovers quarrels.  

Jin + J-Hope = Jealous V

Who would have wondered that even the sunshine rainbow duo of 2seok would troubled our Tae Tae that much??? Taehyung is sooooo done with Jin and J-Hope’s audacity of doing, well NOTHING AT ALL hahaha. As usual our V looks around to analyse the situation, then he cannot believe the audacity of Hoseok taking pictures of Seokjin’s luscious lips without his permission, in a deep dragon sigh he follows his actions with his best death stare hoping in earnest that they can read his behaviour and just stop this disrespect, right now! Mad as F pressed lips and hands on pockets to prove his masculinity just in case a medieval joust is needed to save his Jinnie’s honour from this green villain. HAHA Seriously V, I know Jin is the most precious gem of the universe but they are just taking pics babe, relax ok!  

Jin + Suga = Jealous V

Here is a combo of breathing on their necks, displeased face, following Yoongi’s action like a hawk, wanting to do the same and more to Jin and the death stare. Notice that this was waaaay before the love conquered phase and we are already seeing some signs of super possessive V. Also cause Yoongi knows better, we will hardly see him caught in a situation like that now a days. Our Suga has a strong survival instinct! 

These are just a few examples of the countless times V was extremely proprietorial of his Jinnie. What is most amusing is the fact this happens only with Jin, he never acts like that with anyone else or when the other boys interact. There is this sense in Taehyung that Jin’s affections needs to be exclusively his, even when nobody is watching (like on Jimin’s example, he prob had no idea he was being filmed) so his jealous nature extends beyond the fan service ships. Let’s say he is the jealous type.

Seeing those moments you can see he gets very annoyed with anyone that approaches or is approached by Jin in a touchy or more intimate way. It doesn’t really matter if it is Namjoon for the Nam’jin push, his bestie getting along to his boyfriend Jinnie, Kookie who is Jin’s golden baby being cuddly, J-Hope who is a harmless rainbow just taking pics or Suga treating Jin like he deserves to be treated. If they get too near Jin, there will be consequence! Of course Taehyung will never confront the boys, it’s not in his nature to be aggressive but he punishes Jin by ignoring him quite often (remember bon voyage, remember isac, remember before 2016). Being Jin the affectionate love cloud he is, V’s crescent possessive volcano behaviour, it is safe to say these two headstrong boys probably tend to have some epic fights that end in Jin being V’s little spoon LOL. 

I hope that now you can have a guideline to see the difference a little better and spot Jealous Tae moments more often. Sorry for the late reply darling, I wasn’t planning a MASTERPOST so soon but you deserved it, tkx for your patience!

Lots of love

Hi! I’m both a Taejin and Yoonjin shipper (probably a tiny bit more yoonjin for reasons I won’t get into because this is a Taejin blog) but I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your masterposts and theories and you present a really convincing argument as to why they’re real. I’ve spent the last few hours reading your posts and I’m so hooked lol. Keep doing you!

Hey there ‘bit more Yoon’jin’ anon,

Tkx for the message and the support!

Lots of love.

Did u see the latest vlive? Jin wasn’t there and tae looked so down...he hardly spoke 3 times and one of which was to remind them again that they should think of jin 😘 I love taejin so much

Hello ‘Tae looked so down’ anon,

Yep I have seen it and to be honest I was quite concerned not only about Jin being sick but also how V was super down without his Jinnie. Let’s go through it in a detailed masterpost and see his reactions throughout the video.

I mean the difference between his general mood and the other members was so obvious, he was legit depressed, barely speaking, not looking at the camera and it felt like he did not want to be there at all.  

Look at:

Him:

J-Hope asked Taehyung to show himself on camera: J-Hope who was truly concerned about V, requested him to show himself to the fans, then pushed him forward since he barely moved. Taehyung couldn’t even smile.

Look at his face: My poor baby. I have been saying for centuries that J-Hope has more maturity than anyone else in BTS when the subject is relationships, so I feel he was really trying to cheer him up and make him participate. 

Rapmon gave food to a motionless V: Everybody was attacking the meat, V tried to grab a bite but gave up midway so a concerned Namjoon, the good soul, gave him some food.

Jimin looks at V before mentioning Jin: Jimin is about to talk about Jin and just before gives a concerned look straight at a still gloomy Taehyung like he was asking for permission. 

Jimin talks about Jin being hospitalised looking at V: Jimin mentions Jin’s hospitalisation and keeps looking at Taehyung like he was waiting for a feedback. Taehyung doesn’t look back.

Jin suggested this place: Jimin talks about the first time he came to the restaurant with Jin to buy Jungkook’s birthday present. Everybody gets solemn about Jin not being there, nobody looks at Jimin in the eyes.

V rubs his eyes consistently for more than the normal “eye itch” time. In body language V’s eye rub means the brain’s attempt to to block out a deceit, it means he had something to hide regarding Jimin’s story about Jin’s restaurant suggestion or Jin’s situation in general.  

Taehyung opens his mouth for the first time: only to give a cute and concerned message to Jin on camera saying he should not sleep with the AC on. We could get a glimpse of Light Up V for a few seconds.

Tae vs JinJiKook (or whatever they are called LOL): as Jikook discusses their bond with Jin and how they hang out together all the time, V looks at them with that jealous of his Jin death stare we all know so well. I guess it’s not only Tae vs Nam’jin now, we have Tae vs JinJiKook too!

V really can’t with JinJikook: As Jikook carries on talking about their bromance ship name, Taehyung rubs his ears for a long time, in body language this means JinJiKook is extremely unpleasant to him. The gesture is an attempt at preventing the sounds from reaching a deeper part of the brain blocking his anxiety and nervousness, with a defensive posture. When ear grabbing is done while listening to others speak it is due to his disbelief as in “I can’t believe what I’m hearing”.

He then looks straight at Jungkook with contempt with his hand still in his ear and the down pressed lips + not amused tongue in cheek. His body language expresses he is displeased and sees Kookie’s mention of Jin as something disrespectful, like a personal offence. It’s a mind reaction that says, I don’t like what I am hearing, I don’t like how this taste, I don’t like you. His body is saying “Do not talk about Jinnie” his displease expressed as the contempt look towards the offender to demand respect, in this case Jungkook whose mistake was the enjoyment of being bro-shipped with Jin.

My hope, my angel is concerned: J-Hope notices Tae’s mood again and decides to cheer him up by mentioning his earrings. He knows our fashion boy so well, style talk always makes him feel better.

Taehyung thinks about Jin all the time: when it’s quiet cause everybody is eating, completely out of the blue V says “We need to think about Jin”. Since it’s silent V saying something of a massive importance, BTS respects his request and send Jin positive messages. This comment is very important cause it shows how Taehyung is constantly thinking about Jin, even when everyone else was talking about food, awards, the comeback. This means that at that moment, Jin’s health and the fact he was absent occupied his mind more than the fandom, awards and food. 

Going back again to analyse even further his fuelled body language response to JinJikook, especially towards Jungkook, I don’t believe he sees JinJikook or Jungkook as a threat to his relationship. Here we see a similar pattern he displays with Nam’jin, it’s not about the ship itself, it’s about his jealous and possessive nature towards Jin, he just doesn’t wanna see anybody else being shipped with Jin, even if it’s just for fun. 

I think the main reason why he got annoyed with Kookie, it’s cause Kookie is younger, therefore he thinks his position as Jin’s special someone deserves Kookie’s respect. There were many other situations when Jin’kook was happening and Taehyung looks legit mad at Kookie. Of course his possessiveness with Jin is most times a passing situation and soon he returns his usual cute older brother behaviour towards Jungkook. I did give a lot of thinking about Kookie’s close relationship with Jin and why does he sometimes acts like he is clueless about Taejin, but that is a talk for another masterpost. 

I see that, as usual, this is a fandom who loves to dilute emotional situations to primitive notions of the boys behaviours. Again fans mistakenly took his behaviour as just tiredness from the comeback, nobody seems to connect the obvious, that Jin’s absence affected V’s state of mind. Although I’m sure everybody is pretty tired, his emotional behaviour speaks louder than just being physically drained. Tiredness makes you lethargic, light headed and sometimes irritated, Taehuyng was not like that, he was reclusive, sad but aware enough to respond to mentions of Jin and even to express jealousy through his unconscious body language response.  

So sum it up, he was deeply concerned about Jin, all his body language and behaviour show that Jin was his focal point. Nobody else was acting like he was acting, and BTS (esp J-hope and Rapmon) was treating Taehyung with caution and concern. It just breaks my heart to see him like that, and it makes me kinda worried about Jin’s emotional state as well, since for me it’s pretty clear there is more that just a cold, going on behind the scenes. But to see V’s concern, to see him wither without his Jinnie, the mutual respect and trust, their intimacy, the ever growing emotional alliance between these two princes makes me so happy for them. They embody my personal notion of true love.

I feel that Taejin is giving us so much on this comeback, but sadly most of that they do has been underrated and misread by a fandom who is self-restrained by their predefined fan service ships and lack of sensibility to understand what’s in front everybody’s faces. As I said in the past, this is Ok as long as Taejin are safe but the lack of recognition of their beautiful relationship leaves a bitter sweet taste in my mouth.

Tkx for the question anon, I also love Taejin very much. 

Lots of love.
