#and they mean that Jin is capable of much worse and only restrains himself because of Akin

The Lighting Department is Top Form

Even though the show didn't give Johnny the fate I think he deserved, I appreciate that Jin walked into the play at the exact moment Johnny's character was begging for his life surrounded by (Akin's) blue.

Because the theater was made up of Johnny's red and Jin's green, as if it was battle between them for Akin.

Then, in the play, Akin's character lost the fight to Johnny's character surrounded by Johnny's red.

However, in the play, Akin's character, in blue, tells Johnny's character, who is in red, that "Revenge solves nothing; it only deepens the wound" and if we hold onto our anger, we "will carry the weight of hatred forever" with the tiniest barrier between them.

And we see Akin surrounded, once again, by his blue as he tearfully looks at Jin.

And Jin sees the light. This message is to him. His hatred for Johnny is clouding his love for Akin.

So even though there are clear barriers between Johnny and Jin, he asks to sit down and chat with him.

And for such a dark bar, the lighting is actually quite bright.

Until the exact moment Jin stops bullshitting with Johnny, and subtly threatens him. Jin becomes dark.

And although he lightens up as he leaves to see Akin, he looks at Johnny with an air of darkness remaining and basically tells him he is "lucky" to be working with Akin because that is the only thing saving him. He is telling Johnny that he is not ruining Johnny's entire fucking life because that would mean Akin's play would have issues.

Then, Jin steps completely into the darkness and tells Johnny that if he does it again, he "won't let him go next time."

Jin will be the darkness for Akin, who has been sitting in his own dark hole since Jin left him in the parking garage.

So when Jin shows up at Akin's apartment, Akin is sitting in darkness ready to break it off with Jin.

But once Jin tells him that he has nothing to apologize for and has him listen to what Johnny said, Akin's world brightens.

And Akin is back in his color.

Jin is a chill Green Guy for Akin who will always brighten his world.

But he has proven several times that he is capable of much worse when pushed.

Which is why I love the angel wings. I know they are carryover from the source material, but they work even better here knowing just how dark Jin can get so it feels like Jin is only an angel for Akin because even his darkness is what Akin needs.

And he will be the constant barrier between Johnny and Akin there to remind Johnny of what he promised him at that bar — that would be the first and last time he messed with Akin.

So even though the narrative seems to have forgiven the "Ass," (Donkey), the lighting department wasn't so easy on him because the threat of Jin is clear as the darkness surrounds him.

Akin wrote to his grandmother on blue paper about how much he loves Jin. He wrote it in his color that he found the person who makes his world complete.

Because when Jin whispers in Akin's ear, there is light in his words compared to when he threatened Johnny in that bar.

And he'll always be there to take care of his drunk boyfriend.

So Jin is Akin's angel because he is more than willing to be the devil to everyone else.

Jin isn't a golden retriever.

He's a hellhound.

Hey Goldy!

We know Jimin is an amazing person. I very much appreciate his high emotional intelligence. It's sad to see some fans belittling Jungkook and saying that he's not enough for Jimin. Especially when he decided to release Golden instead of spending time to be hands-on w/ his solo album.

What do you think of those people saying that Jungkook should do more for Jimin, bec it looks like Jimin is the only one who's open to show how much he cares for Jungkook? I mean, I don't know if those people even took the time to appreciate the support Jungkook gave Jimin during Face, still, it seems like it's not enough. How do you see Jungkook's way of loving and appreciating Jimin?

Thank you!

Thanks so much for the respect you have for Jungkook I feel sooo at ease with you. Just thank you.

I think it starts with appreciation no one will get anywhere with me if the conversation is about belittling all the good work Jungkook does towards especially Jimin. The question is not that he's not doing enough- its should he or could he and does he need to do more for Jimin???

On that my answer is, they could all do more for eachother there's always room for improvement and sometimes they have to choose eachother fuck every one and everything else.

They all have their strengths. Between the two I think Jungkook risks his career more often for them than Jimin does while Jimin is the one more prone to consistent show of affections between the two.

Jungkook doesn't show out often but when he does show up he shows out- the earth quakes the sky bleeds our butts shiver and Hybe passes out from the stress of it.

Jimin is naturally kind warm and affectionate and he does care for Jungkook in a way that says it's obvious Jungkook means more to him than anyone else- even V whom he calls his soulmate.

I love when at the round table the members were asked to guess who Jimin wrote his letter to and everyone said Jungkook- I think Jin is the one who says Jimin is very predictable in that way.

It's nice to see him cater to Jungkook consistently. If it's an act he never breaks character and he takes that role seriously and he is not afraid to make big gestures too for Jungkook and I see why people love that about him. In fact I love that about him a lot.

But I love Jungkook too. I love how he's quietly losing his mind most times, quietly loving him impatiently- it's like a boiling water in a pot. Just because you only see it when the lid is sliding off don't mean the water wasn't boiling all along.

It takes real maturity to understand Jungkook. It takes depth and nuance to appreciate the kind of person he is. He is impatient with his love and over the years nothings tested his patience more than loving Jimin the way Jimin wants to be loved.

I think Jimin knows what Jungkook is capable off. I know what Jungkook is capable of. He is not a coward. He's a storm constantly being tamed and restrained.

Jimin self regulates he's the epitome of control- well not when he was young though dude was all over the place messy but the man he's grown into has worked on mastering his self control.

I don't think it's fair to compare them this way. They are two unique individuals what Jimin does for Jungkook should matter only to Jungkook and no one can appreciate Jungkook better or worse than Jimin himself.

It's a relationship. If they are not happy with each other's efforts in the relationship they are free to exit the relationship or stay and work it out🙂

But I'm not gonna lie, I love Jungkook very much for Jimin very very much😩

If I went shopping for a boyfriend for Jimin I'll take Namjoon Tae Suga and drop them at the counter cos Kook is all I can afford 🙂
