Serendipity

Serendipity is the occurrence of an unexpected and fortunate discovery that happens when you are looking for something else. It is the "happy or beautiful coincidence".

One of the most important serendipities in history is the discovery of penicillin, that happened when Fleming went on holiday and left behind a bacterial culture plate on which a fungus happened to be growing.

In the context of love, serendipity often manifests itself as meeting someone special in the most unexpected circumstances or finding love in someone unexpected. Perhaps you were expecting another thing to happen (like a strong friendship to grow?😏), but something else BEAUTIFUL occurred.

Jimin's Serendipity song is about a love that is born out of the unexpected and is so surprising that it is frightening.

It is very interesting to see that the song uses the concepts of destiny and serendipity (you are my penicillin), which are apparently opposed.

What we call "destiny" is a philosophical and existential concept that alludes to the belief that everything that happens in life happens inexorably and according to some kind of "plan". To believe in destiny is to believe that everything happening has some predetermined meaning and coherence, and that there is therefore little point in resisting it ("It was fate that led to this... that we crossed paths..., that we came this far... "🥰).

From the perspective of serendipity, what there is the happiness of having met in the midst of chaos, where it was highly unlikely that we would meet or spend enough time together to build a love story. There is no destiny, only the most beautiful coincidence.

I find interesting how the song mixed both philosophies. The lyrics talking about destiny, and what happened ...that must be "the providence of the universe"...

.. there’s a kind of “acceptance” that "It just had to be"... maybe because despite initial caution or opposition, there existed no alternative path for the souls involved but to inevitably fall in love.

Funny thing is to see that - as far as we know - these are the two visions that JK and Jimin have of their own lives ☺️ (One firmly believing in destiny and the other in building his own paths).

And you will say .... It's Namjoom who wrote the lyrics.

Yes, I know.

BUT....I really think that Jimin gave him certain hints of what he wanted to say, or alternatively… Namjoon already knew. Because this song is so Jikook coded.. Jimin (and Jungkook too) giving us some hints during years.

The first one was in Run episode 61 (which was recorded in summer 2018). BTS split into teams to compete for snacks and in the game Jimin and JK got the same score: 738.

https://x.com/bangtannuggets/status/1361299753900867585?s=46&t=vgk32mOt764yK5fakoQqow

Jungkook asked "Destiny?" (see where JK is going? 😊)

And Jimin replied "I told you, you are me, I am you".

When did he tell him?

Did we miss something?

Do you mean he told him so in the song?

Or did he tell him before, in 2016, when Zico released a song with that name (I am you, you are me) about love and destiny that Jungkook and him decided to pay homage to on a fansign?

At the beginning of 2016 Zico released the song 지코(ZICO) - 너는 나 나는 너 (I am you, you are me)

In his MV Zico appears visiting a convenience store, where the girl working there always happens to match clothes (LOL) with him. And in one of the last scenes, the two appear with a similar wound on their finger, and with matching band-aids.

And the lyrics...

If both hearts feel the same, they're ONE..

So.. I am you, you are me

In Puma's April 2016 fansign, Jimin and JK appeared with matching Pororo’s bandaids on their fingers. And although some fans asked if they were injured, neither answered in that way. Jimin even admitted that he wore the bandaid because "the lil one" gave it to him.

The next time the two said the line to each other was on BTS Love Yourself Japan Dome Tour Documentary & Interview 2018 on TBS.....

https://x.com/gcfKM57/status/1499717697914900481

Then Jungkook gave the only explanation we have so far... that Jimin was messing with his song the whole time....(???)

Jungkook made the finger gesture and Jimin finished the verse for him.

(I wonder if the finger gesture came about while Jimin was doing the choreo, as he has many moments where his finger stands alone... I'm already envisioning the scene where JK possibly walked over and...🥰🥰🥰🤡🤡🤡🤡)

That moment in the interview speaks for itself... but as usual, the members’ reaction reveal even more, if that's possible...😂😂

So….long story short….how much of a coincidence is there when...

1. Jimin said that he would give a song (as a gift) to the person he loves in the future…? (Jungkook being very “curious” about the answer 😉)

2. He doesn't let Jungkook visit him in the MV recording ... only to see later in the MV certain sus date 😶..?

3. He includes as part of his song the title from a love song that he and JK paid homage to a year ago…?

4. Jimin told Jungkook that line and makes it "the line" between them for years…?

5. Jungkook not only accepted it, but still sings and hums the song years later, as the precious gift it is…. ?

https://x.com/lovemazejikook/status/1451536877211684864?s=46&t=vgk32mOt764yK5fakoQqow

..... ????? (closing question)

You know the answer.

Jimin told us

There is no "for army" involved here.

No fan song to allude to this time.

2017 was a year of declarations of LOVE from both of them.

Each of them chose their own artistic expression.💛💜

[not-goldy]

Imagine all of BTS enjoying their morning & getting a notification for a JK live & tune in and its JK laying in bed, half naked with his soft clingy voice begging Jimin to come to him, batting his eyelashes, baring his shoulder, giving him the come-hither eye flutter, come play with me Jimin, Army even wants you to come play with me. Gasping out loud & scrolling anytime Jimin comments, hoping Jimin says yes I'll come over or yes or come to me. Biting his pillow, blushing, kicking his feet, inviting himself to shower at Jimin's & his Hyungs and staff just sitting there watching & slowly close their phones cause the gays are acting up ass o'clock in the morning.

And don't even get me started on Jimin seeing JK laying there half naked and enters the chat like "Good Morning Jungkook" like he Hannibal Lecter about to eat his last meal & busting out his inner Destiny's Child, "I can handle you, Can you handle me, I don't think you can handle me, baby can you handle this, I don't think you're ready for this jelly, I'm too bootlylicious for you baby". And we can't forget Jk seeing Jimin's good morning and him singing, Good Morning I think I'm falling for you, its dangerous. Okay lover boy, serenading that man half naked in front of millions.

The gay chaoticness of it all & chemistry was through the roof & had everyone & their damn daddy blushing and they weren't even in the same room together either. Damn, so you know when those two together alone, they set off fire alarms. And to think this was right after they came back from NY/CT and then after that live, went for round 2 in Japan. Okay Jikook. We get it.

Ahhhh I can Imagine it🤭

~Jikook’s relationship~

Anon, I won’t post other blog’s opinion about jikook’s relationship, but I can give you my own opinion.

I think Jungkook and Jimin are in a longterm committed relationship. Destiny brought them together and they decided to act on their feelings despite being idols in the same group in a homophobic country.

They were the closest duo since Jimin came into Bighit in 2012. They really adored each other. In 2014 their dynamics have changed. From Jimin’s side it’s hard to tell when he started to feel more towards Jungkook, but Jungkook was like an open book. I think after they came back from USA Jungkook slowly started to feel more, but he didn’t even realize it. Only in 2015. Their tension in summer 2015 had to be insane. Jimin’s fainting before concert in August 2015 could be a crucial moment. And November 8th 2015 is definitely the most important date for them, since they always refer to this date. Something big happend on this day. Then in 2016 they were already intimate and in 2017 at Jungkook’s graduation they already looked like official couple.

Even if they were broken up some times for a while or had a break, they didn’t have to be with anyone else. It’s part of their dynamics and they are way too deep into each other.

They aren’t only platonic, because we had a chance to see them being intimate and sexual and referring to sex many times.

Moreover they are part of each others families. Their parents and brothers love them and support them. 🥹

Now it’s 2023, nearly 8 years have past, a lot has happend and they are still here. Still together despite everything.

[stormblessed95]

i love talking ab km so I’m just gonna have a rant about them here.

i love that they’re the literal embodiment of you are me and I’m, that they’re literally each other in different forms i love that they have the exact same iq of 128 that their fav number is 13 and they both have it tatted. I love that jk has a bro jms age and jm has a bro jks age, I love that they have the same work ethic and I love how they always talk ab each other with sm respect. I love how they’re so similar that they just connect in stage and when they make eye contact it’s electrifying. I love that jk believes in destiny and jm thinks it’s absolute bs even tho he has a song called serendipity, I love how it’s almost like serendipity was written for them, I love when their indexes meet and they’re so giddy and giggly when they are in you and you are me, I love how serendipity is literally their song. I love that they’re both from Busan have ridden the same bus and have never met bc it was like they were pulled to eo. I love how they always lean on eo for support help and comfort. I love how even tho jk is quite aggressive with other members he’s always so soft with jm. I love how they find all the same things funny and how their laughs are one. I love how jms hand fits perfectly into jks and how what they like correlates perfectly with the other. I love that their families are so close and treat them as their own, I love that jm loved jk sm he rivalled jks real brother. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHEN THEY GIVE EACH ITHER MASSAGES, it’s so wholesome and domestic and just screams comfort, those little neck massages they give eo are so warm and perfect. I love how jks shy and introverted and jms confident and extroverted but can also be a very shy baby, I love how when the other is lacking something they always step up to fill that position I love how they’re the ace duo bc their chemistry is unmatched. I love how much they care for each other and how they almost always choose eo and I love how private they are. Jikook make my heart ache- they are so so so so lovely

okay I also love how patient jungkook is, it is one of my most attractive/admirable traits anyone can ever have + it’s such a big sign of love and his patience with jimin esp in that kimbap live where he had to repeat himself 4 times n he’s voice didn’t get harsher but probably softer melted me in ways I can’t explain

And the UN speech when jm was feeling obv nervous and how he turned his whole body towards him n he nodded as jm spoke to show him he was listening n u could tell jm needed that as he mirrored jks body language n when he defended jm from the boys making fun of him was so hot omg

As well as that one time jk held his hand out for jm to hold as they were going backstage while performing and he turned to make sure it was him n they ran backstage holding hands i literally disintegrated

All very adorable and sweet moments shared. Thanks anon.

I don’t care about the ring, it’s too hard to tell what it looks like clearly and I don’t need it as proof/not proof of anything. Can you show me your favorite couple matching photos of jikook? How bout top 5? Please. 💜

Shiro this question is really difficult i thought u liked me 😔😔 well, I went overboard and its all your fault.

No. 7 the bucket hats.

JK may love these the most, but I have it on good authority Jimin started it. Either way, gotta love when they're the only ones matching in a group setting 🤭

No. 6 the matching shoes

Something recent! Yeeei! Even when stylists do it... omg 😍😍

No. 5 speaking of stylists.

There is just something about those outfits that I love sm!!! 😜😜

No.4 Grammy Jikook!

They look amazing 🥺🥺

No.3 Blond Jikook!!!

(I love this photo. Especially when uncropped. U really see Jikook. Sometimes its not necessary to crop members, then u can really see why Jikook are different) Blond isn't even my favourite color on them as individuals. But when they were matching they just looked perfect. Just simply perfect 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

No. 2 The matching rings, of course!

On the same finger. Same hand. Same time ☕ Just saying 🤭🤭

And for the winner. Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁🥁

No.1 Ponytail Jikook!!!

I love that sm!!! I wasn't an Army yet and thank God because I'd have gone nuts but I love their matching ponytails sm!! I keep seeing JK with a ponytail now and wishing Jimin would join him 🤭🤭 they were so cute and adorable and just... *happy sigh*

Bonus: (because I didn't wanna ruin the 7)

Blue/green hair Jikook from this winter package.

Something about this photo makes the matching hair seem so intentional, you know? Like, I know JK has done this many times before but still.. u know? Its like, they knew it was obvious but still didn't care. It's definitely a favourite of mine. I love it. I love it alot.

Bonus of the bonus: 🤭 something out of their control; their matching moles

You are me... I am you 😭 Destiny!

Thanks for the fun ask! 😘💜

[moonsunbam]

kookmin, minkook, koomi, jikook, jungji, cats, sun and moon, yin and yang, feijão com arroz, puppies, birds of a feather, pucca and garu, toothless and light fury and so on....

they have so many names, they are related to so many couple things...

but the one thing they for a fact are is twin flames, their love, and when i say love i mean in the most genuine and honest definition of the word, is blessed by all the gods that exist, is blessed by destiny, karma, universe...their conection is something cosmic and came from another lives... you can call me corny and naive to think like this but i just believe that we humans are capable to love a love that is so consuming that we go to the end of the Earth for our one person, i chose to believe in this everyday and no one deserve more of this love than them...

[just-orbiting-you]

This soulmate talk has me thinking back to the 2020 festa profiles where the members had to write a profile for another member, basically answering questions on their behalf. Jimin wrote Jungkook’s profile and, under what the members are to Jungkook, wrote for himself, “My beloved Jiminie hyung is my eternal best friend, my soul brother, and my precious hyungnim.”

It’s pretty funny when the other answers simply mention their ages in relation to Jungkook but I also find it sweet that Jimin sees himself as that to Jungkook. I don’t know about you all, but “eternal best friends” and “soul brother” scream soulmates to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

from bangtan subs, god bless our translators.

right, jimin's being a little silly here, while conveying that he means the most to jungkook. but despite his joking tone, i think it is really funny that he basically ended up being right.

i don't know what "common ground" means. maybe that he and tae often agree on a lot of things or feel similar.

but "you are me, i am you" as we know is weighted with the background of serendipity and how jimin would call them destiny. tying straight to jimin's words of "soul brother."

eternal best friend is such a sweet wording too. even the "my beloved jiminie-hyung" :').

thank you for reminding me of this! even our minds don't always go to soulmates when we think of them, it's nice to know they think that of themselves. i'm a little silly because the entire of serendipity is like we were fated, this is destiny, let me love you. and they used the line from the freaking song for their inside joke, calling themselves meant to be. oh my jikook never change.

[ask-serendipity-sky]

JK about Seven: "it’s a serenade that I sing for my lover from Monday to Sunday"

"the lyrics mean you want to be with the person you love all the time"

"the willingness to be with the love of my life every day is shown is this passionate serenade"

them: he’s a FuCkbOy

make it make sense… the guy is seriously screaming he’s hopelessly in love, hello? didn’t you get it??

I seriously hope people saying this are just young with no experience in serious relationships. If you think singing about having passionate sex with your lover 7 days a week can’t be about a committed relationship then I guess you haven’t find a good person for you and it’s sad as fuck.

Hi anon,

It just makes me wonder if people have never heard a song that talks about sex? They act like it's the biggest reveal of the century.

"Kiss your waist...fucking you right, 7 days a week."

Most songs talk about that so I don't understand why Jk singing something so tame (it is really tame compared to other songs) means that Jk can't be in a relationship with Jimin.

He can do all those things with Jimin too!

But perhaps these people only know sex and not making love.

It's obvious that what jikook have is deep. Years and years of layers upon layers. Intimacy and feelings to the max. They are both hopeless romantics. So add their emotioms for each other, how in tune they must be with each other mentally and physically, and it's something that not everyone will understand. It's not even just sex anymore. It's like another level of....

Meanwhile sex singer Jk, is the same Jk that planned a entire birthday cheer me up trip for Jimin and made a romantic video about it:

I will talk about this every time I am able to.

He watches romantic movies:

Helps Jimin when he has pain:

Believes in destiny:

Brings snow because Jimin likes snow:

Cares about Jimin while watching him on tv:

He can sing tame sex lines and be a hopeless romantic and be in a long term monogamous relationship with Jimin.

Thanks for sharing.

The Final Word on This, Please

To the person in my inbox who keeps using a throw-away account to send me variations on the theme that Tae has been pushing Taekook since LA Live because he has to be the main character and can’t stand to share the spotlight with Jikook…

Please slow your roll. I’m not going to publish any of your asks.

*Sigh* You are really moving like a troll, but because I believe there’s a human being behind every screen, and you seem really emotional right now, I will try to answer some of your questions with as much patience, logic, and compassion as I can muster—once.

Then I am sending you on your way, because this conversation ultimately cannot lead to any conclusions and it is so draining.

I appreciate that because Taehyung is mentioning hanging out with JK a lot, you are upset on Jimin’s behalf—but have you seen Jimin upset about any of this? (I mean, there was a small moment in the Chuseok live, when Tae was stroking JK’s hair, and Jimin gave him a bit of LOOK, and Tae stopped.)

But Jimin has never once looked super pressed or jealous or sad or sulky about Tae and JK’s bond. He was sitting right there when Tae rested his head on JK’s leg during Busan rehearsals, totally unbothered by the intimacy of that gesture. If anything, he seems very relaxed and super adoring of both Jungkook and Taehyung.

Maybe it’s because he’s not online much to see what all is happening as a result. Maybe he just doesn’t care what other people think because Tae has proven himself trustworthy no matter what. (For all we know, Vminkook could have a pact to feed all ships a little bit to keep suspicion off actual relationships. Or they just do whatever they feel like and don’t care a fig about ships. We don’t know. We don’t actually know these guys and it’s so easy to forget that.)

Consider what we DO know about Kim Taehyung:

--He went to Big Hit to encourage a friend at his audition and ended up getting the role. That suggests he’s opportunistic, but maybe the friend was totally fine with it? I think we can all agree that in any case, all 7 members are absolutely essential for BTS to work. It’s almost like it was destiny.

--He pranks ARMY all the time, with that sharpie marker tattoo and such. I know it can feel like he’s making fools of us… But that could just be his sense of humor?

--He shares snippets of recordings or Insta posts and then deletes it, and has said he feels “like a different person” every few moments, so he doesn’t like what he was a few moments ago and then gets rid of it. Maybe he’s still finding his way as a person or an artist? Maybe he’s feeling a bit insecure about being judged?

--He mentions JK very frequently these days. So maybe he’s feeding Taekookers. I suspect he knows his impact even if that's not his intention. But maybe he’s just happy to share something he knows ARMY will want to hear about?

Consider that he also shares Christmas songs and New Year’s wishes and pics of Yeontan and food and photoshoots and other stuff too. He hyped up Jimin’s VIBE. I think he’s using social media the way most twenty-somethings do. He tells us a bit about his day, a bit about his work, and throws in a random song he likes or whatever. But being in BTS means everything gets super analyzed.

So yeah, he’s named dropped JK like 6 or 7 times in the last few months—and I suspect it has to do with some insecurity around the dating scandal and others being in the news, because he doesn’t namedrop Jimin or Hobi, but we know he hangs out with them, too—but I cannot say for sure what’s really going on. He could just be talking about whatever is top of mind, and that happens to be JK. They ARE close. They have a valid bond. They always have. None of this hanging out stuff is remotely new.

--Another possibility is that it’s time for some contract negotiations, and having plenty of social media engagement is the best capital to leverage getting your way. Maybe he wants a Taekook subunit. Maybe he wants to collab with “controversial” artists of other companies. Maybe he wants to do more film work than just guest star on cooking shows and Squid Game. Maybe he’s trying to get a better monetary deal, or convince the company to actually step up its promo efforts and shipping schedules, which impact charts. Maybe this is a purely business calculation. So he's posting a lot of things he think will get people to engage. (Maybe it’s a really genuine friendship that has been through the ringer the last few years, and he’s eager to show they’ve repaired things and are now close again.)

--Please do not lose sight of the fact that over the years, he’s consistently shown us that he really loves Jimin. I don’t know if he loves Jimin more than he loves himself, per se, but… I think he DOES love Jimin (or else he deserves an Oscar for the longest, bestest con of all time).

He flat-out said he likes Jimin the most. He wrote Jimin the most beautiful and vulnerable letter in which he apologized that Jimin was always the one who gave the most. He bought Jimin his first designer gift. He was the only one to update us when Jimin was in the hospital for a week. He follows Jimin to the goddamn bathroom. He unreservedly wrote to Jimin he loved him on his birthday. Kim Taehyung loves Park Jimin. Count on it.

Now, I’m not saying you can’t hurt the ones you love—of course you can. But you keep coming to my inbox, stating his motives like you know it for a fact. And he could very well totally ignore the insane I-ARMY cult that drags Jimin and just think he’s giving the normal fans something they enjoy by updating them about a member who has been practically MIA since the White House. *shrug*

Whatever it is that is going on, Tae has the most followers online. He’s got global recognition. He’s got excellent taste in music and fashion. He has a solid industry network and fanbase. He’s set. He could drop an album that consists solely of him humming and playing the kazoo with his left nostril, and the majority of ARMY will get behind it.

But I suspect right now, for him, sitting in the chair and banging out the work is a real struggle for him. He may be choking on indecision. He may feel overwhelmed with pressure. He may be scared of criticism. He may be burnt out because let’s face it, BTS has been in a nonstop whirlwind even during the pandemic.

So what does he do? He games, and goes bowling, and jet-sets around the world on side projects with friends, and whatever else… and sometimes Jungkook joins in (probably mostly online, or in groups—but maybe also sometimes just the two of them, like with Minimoni or Jihope). I'm sure he'll get back to his album as soon as he's creatively restored.

Hanging out doesn’t mean either Tae or JK are disloyal or hurting Jimin. You cannot know this for a fact.

All it means is that the cult has fodder to bark and act a fool. But they do that regardless, so don’t pay them your energy; don’t give them real estate in your mind.

Listen, 27 is a trying time for any young person. But for a global super star under a microscope? He’s probably under the kinds of stress we will never begin to understand. He probably feels like he can never please everyone, so he might as well please himself. And if he sometimes stirs up a little chaos, that may be how he releases some of that internalized pressure.

Am I THRILLED he comes online almost every time Jimin or JK are in the spotlight and implies Taekook is real? Nope. Honestly, nope, I don’t like it. Especially not when Dispatch feels the need to write an article about it. I’m human and I have my limits. So I admit, it doesn’t feel great. Just like with the trumpet, or temporary tattoo, or fake names he’s given to strangers in the past, I think he’s pulling our legs off. And I personally could easily interpret that as disdain for his fans. That’s how I, Roo, 43-year-old American female, feel about it.

Doesn’t make it the reality, nor his intent.

We could be way overthinking here.

At the end of the day, we only see a tiny, tiny, TINY fraction of these guys’ real lives. But from all that we DO see, there’s no bad blood, no weird tension. The maknae climb all over each other like puppies still. The hyungs are all super protective and fond still. BTS tells us over and over they want to be together for as long as they can. Jikook is still Jikook, even if they aren’t sharing any personal info these days.

So whatever is going on in fandom when Taekook starts to trend, I don’t think we can say that Tae is having a negative impact on Jikook or BTS in real life. I just don’t think we’ve got evidence of that. From what we can see, the guys all seem fine.

What we do have evidence of is the ruiners feeling like they have a greenlight to keep on ruining things for everyone who doesn’t see things their way. IT SUCKS. Guard your energy, that’s all I can tell you. Because even if JK popped online right now and looked right in the camera and said, “Taekook is a friendship only. Please stop seeing signs and wonders everywhere. Tae and I are just friends.”

The cult would still never believe his own words. They’d say the company forced him. That he’s being blackmailed. That it’s a prank. That they have to be closeted because of the military. That he’s foregoing his relationship in order to make deals to launch his solo career. That he’s been brainwashed. God only knows what excuses they would make. But he can't win, here.

The nutters won’t take him at his word, because they’ve never really cared what any of these boys has said or done in the past, either. They only take in whatever supports their theory, and they abandon any evidence that does not.

Jikook could come out right now and it wouldn’t stop the ruiners—but it would ruin things for them, their members, their company and staff, plus their military experiences.

Which is why, as a Jikooker (I assume you are one), it’s really crucial for you to take in all possible content and evidence WITHIN CONTEXT, run things by older ARMY, and check yourself when you’re being emotional. This is a good thing to discuss with your friends in a private group chat, not rant about in inboxes or on public blogs.

But whatever you do, please DON’T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS. You are welcome to your thoughts and your feelings, but anyone who states things like they KNOW what is really happening under the surface is lying (to themselves, at best).

Ultimately you will make yourself crazy. (I do not mean this as a jibe, but you sound a bit unhinged in your messages. I didn’t delete this last one because I’m genuinely starting to worry for you, here. You’re too close to this. You are having a disproportionate response to the situation. It’s BTS, not a cancer diagnosis.)

Please, PLEASE shift your focus to what brings you joy, okay?

For me, I like to remember JK whispering nonsense in Jimin’s ear in the Seoul concert, or his hand seeking Jimin’s hip under his shirt or lifting him up in Memories 2021, or the way he and Jimin sometimes wear each other’s sweaty hats. I love that he only posted for Jimin’s birthday, and a thirst trap at that! I like to remember him calling Jimin “genius-Min” or his robot-cat ears perking up when Jimin danced, or singing and clapping with pure joy when it was time to sing Happy Birthday to Jimin at the Busan Concert. I like to recall how eager he was to let everyone know he had seaweed soup on Jimin’s day, too.

I like to remember that all three of these boys share a bowl of ramen, a sofa, and information about each other’s farts—and they do it without so much as a flinch.

There’s real love there. Bonds that will last a lifetime.

No matter WHAT the relationship statuses are. Maybe no ships are real. Maybe ships have shifted. Maybe Jikook are just being quiet because they are real and have a shit-ton to lose before military service, whereas Taekook is being loud because there’s no there, there. Maybe the polyshippers are right and Bangtan gets together once a full moon to indulge in a giant orgy (JK is in charge of the mood lighting and music.)

*stares off into the distance, imagining it*

Look, my dear. The truth is, they cannot tell us everything that goes on. But if we can trust them when they do tell us, that would be good.

I trust that JK and Tae are close and do hang out (as friends).

I trust that Jungkook will keep holding Jiminie.

I trust that the best part of Jimin’s day is waking up to see Jungkookie.

What else really matters?

Please be kind, to yourself, to others who aren’t comfortable speculating about this, and to all the members. They are human. They are gonna make mistakes, be selfish sometimes, act out of anxiety or stress other times. But they are all good people who love each other.

Please trust in that.

And now get out of my inbox and go do something that brings you a sense of peace and bliss. Okay? *hugs* I mean it, I really don’t want to talk about this anymore. Please appreciate the boundary I’m setting, and go in peace.

Yours,

Roo

Jeon reportedly accuses the idol of lying about their former relationship and, with his career now overshadowed by his past, Jimin is forced to figure out how to put the pieces of his life back together- and if, despite it all, one of those pieces still has Jeongguk's name on it.

fake dating - friends to lovers - christmas fluff

“Jeon Jeongguk, are you asking me to be your fake boyfriend for Christmas?” Jimin says, bringing a hand to his chest. “Are we having a moment right now?”

Jeongguk nods solemnly, ignoring how loud his heart is thrumming inside of his ribcage. “I think we are. So, hyung, will you be my extremely platonic and fake boyfriend for the timespan of one dreadful week?”

Jimin looks up grinning like the devil. “I can’t wait, babe.”

(or; in which jimin and jeongguk have always been best friends, but it takes them one week in jeongguk’s hometown to discover all the feelings that lie underneath their ‘platonic’ bond.)

"No one can rewrite the stars, my prince."

"There is no such thing as destiny, Park Jimin, but even if there is, I'll make sure to defeat it."

Jimin has painted portraits of Jeongguk over the past ten years, secret confessions of his love for the prince of Korea. Now, as he stands in the middle of the throne room, his ears ring. He's going to marry Jeongguk in the spring— Jeongguk, the one he wants the most, the one who will never want him— and it leaves him with no choice but to set fire to his paintings in hopes that his love for the prince, too, burns down to ashes.

enemies to lovers - religious! JK, queer activist! JM - coming of age

"Did you want something, or are you here to waste my time?”

“Here to waste your time,” Jimin replies with no hesitation. There’s a playful glisten behind his dark eyes that forces Jeongguk look away. “You know what they say. Summer doesn’t start until you bother the hot son of a priest.”

Jeongguk has always lead a quiet life. He prays, studies and remains in the shadows, keeping the truth about his sexuality away from prying eyes. But when Park Jimin— the town's LGBTQ+ activist and Jeongguk's self-declared enemy since middle school— invites him to a Pride party, he begins to discover the joy of loud, fierce and unapologetic queerness.

soulmates! au - seemingly unrequited love - yearning

There is a certain eerie beauty to the concept of soulmates. It may be the fact that there’s no such thing as an answer to why they exist, why the universe decided we must share the same stardust with another person.

Taehyung should be thrilled, really- he finally can feel his soulmate. There’s not a single reason for which he shouldn’t be buzzing with excitement at all times.

Except for the fact that he’s in love with someone else. Two boys. His best friends, Park Jimin and Jeon Jeongguk. He tries to forget about it, but he’s the most selfish boy in the world. He doesn’t want to let go.

~Jikook’s families~

When I think about how supportive and accepting Jungkook and Jimin’s families really are it always gets me emotional. It must part of their destiny.

* This post isn’t about seeking validation from their families, it’s about true genuine support we were able to see.

1. Jungkook’s dad and brother and Jimin’s dad went with them to the airport to send them off to Tokyo in 2017.

2. Jungkook gave Jimin birthday flowers from jm’s dad.

3. Jungkook’s brother used to like jikook fanart on instagram and recently he opened a tag only for 1 jikook fanart.

4. Jimin’s dad used to have jikook photos in his cafe and he still has Jungkook’s cap in Magnate cafe.

5. Jimin’s dad recorded full Euphoria performance and he was smiling while recording it. 🥲

6. Jungkook’s mom said I love you to Jimin immediately when she heard him. 🥲

7. Jungkook’s mom made seaweed soup because it was Jimin’s birthday.

8. Jungkook said Jimin’s mom kimchi is really good.

9. Jungkook knows the date of Jimin’s grandma birthday.

Hi! do you know where the line "You are me, I am you" came from? was it first mentioned in Serendipity? or were the guys mentioning it already and RM included in the song? thanks!

I could take this to a very in depth and deep place, but I'll try to keep it more contained. I'm still on vacation technically, but can't sleep amd im just enjoying streaming SMFpt2 so I'm trying to catch up on all I've ignored over here on tumblr. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long anon!

Basically, did RM make up the phrase "i am you, you are me" (or vice versa) and the first time we ever heard the phrase was in Serendipity? No. Lol it in fact has orgins in kpop previous to Serendipity in the song by Zico, "I am You, You are Me."

English lyrics here (just a lyric video)

"I am You. You are Me" is also actually an ancient Mayan phrase, Essentially meaning "I am another yourself." It's basically used to describe being so similar to another person, it brings your connection closer and their is an ease of interaction and closeness there. For Mayans it was used as a way of honoring each other, as a statement of unity and oneness. It is not necessarily romantic in nature as a phrase. But both Zico and Jimin made it a very romantic connotation in their songs.

Anyway, back to Zico... he released this song in January of 2016. And "I am you, you are me" is literally the title. Lol so Serendipity does not have first claim to the phrase in kpop at all either. We also know that BTS has been on friendly terms with Block B (Zicos group) and that they worked together for MAMA back in 2014 too.

During his MV, Zico basically matches by accident with this girl over and over again and says they are therefore destiny. One of the ways they match is through both ending up wearing bandaids on their fingers, the same finger.

A few months later, at a fansign on 160402, Jikook were sitting next to each other and fans noticed they were wearing matching bandaids on the same hand. When a fan first noticed it on Jimin and asked about it, he said JK gave it to him. When a fan asked JK about it, he said he wasn't hurt and was just wearing it just because. Lol, it's a mystery. Why did JK decide to give a matching bandaid to Jimin? Why did Jimin just go along with it? (I know this one actually because his precious maknae gave him something, and Jimin has been whipped from the get-go. Lol) is it related to the MV and their first moment of acknowledging (or at least JKs first moment, I would fully believe Jimin just wore it because JK gave it to him, no questions asked lmfao) you are me, I am you? Who knows. Or maybe it was just coincidence of timing and still JK being flirty in his own goofball odd way that no one but himself probably understood. Lol but regardless, there is that connection there. Maybe intentional, maybe not. We will never know.

Neither were hurt. So just a random little matching moment with cutesy bandaids courtesy of Jungkook. Just because. 😂 (also catch them in that black and white fit. For them to later on in the years get dubbed the black and white couple as a nickname lol).

ANYWAYS back to Serendipity, after it released and became the icon queen she is. Jikook fully adopted that song as their own and the first moment of them verbally going "I am you. You are me" happened in a run bts episode....

And has since therefore continued consistently over the years with them. They sing it from Serendipity to each other too, not just saying the phrase. That is THEIR SONG. Which is an inherently romantic song, and therefore gives the phrase that romantic connotation in the way that they are using it. In my opinion.

So were jikook using it before Serendipity, depends on what you think of the whole bandaid incident. Lol but not really. Were the rest of BTS saying it pre-Serendipity? Not really that we know of either. And while they may say it now, they say it differently then jikook do, who have made it a whole little thing with finger touches that they do silently to basically say it no verbally to each other or they sing the lyric to each other. Either way, making it fairly romantic lol but only after Serendipity was released. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So, your own thoughts will have to be formed about all of that and if there is any connection there on your own. Lol hope that helps though!

Jk is so obvious atp😭😭. Iam literally crying and internally screaming when i saw him singing angel pt 1😭😭🤧(although JK supporting his BF is not a new thing😏). I am gonna turn into an old grandma for few mins and wish bless Jikook a very happy and blissful life 💜💛. Seriously Jikook is so close to my heart and i sincerely wish them all happiness❤️🥹.

Honestly anon. These 2 deserve all the happiness in the world. We joke and laugh but they are not in the best position. The best country to have what they have. They didn't choose to fall in love they just did. Destiny. You are me, I am you.

And they somehow still managed to stay together in a hectic Idol world. And having to hide their relationship is not the only thing they needed to power through. It was how to handle eo when they were being too much. It was how to make sure their relationship wasn't affecting the band in any way.

Anon, I hear you. Their love is beautiful and they deserve to be happy.

I just saw this on twitter and had to share because did you know it was only the other day when I noticed during these 2 clips JK is the one who grabs Jimin's hand and pulls him in? Omg 😭😭😭😭

Did y'all see that? I've always thought Jimin was the one who hugs JK but no. It was JK who pulled him in. Both times 😩😩😫 This really got me in my feels y'all 😭😭😭

It reminded me of how priest Jimin wanted a hug but didn't do anything, just stood there and it was JK who pulled him in.

Anonnnnnnnnnn you're making me cry.

I agree. I know they're happy and I can only hope they stay that way.

Hey there, been reading through your posts and others to get caught up, and I just had to say something when I saw your post about bts's real fans leaving 2020. Hey that's me in that group lmao ✋. Around the time after the boy in luv era ended, I got into college and was busy with that, but also I just didn't particularly like the music they were putting out (huge HYYH simp here, honestly just enjoyed a lot of their older stuff more). I was a huge Jimin bias (well on my way to being a pjm even back then if my lurking in pjm posts had any indication lol) and I just kinda checked out on most things bts (I was still in the fandom when promise dropped, can still sing some of it even with zero knowledge in Korean lmao). I was there in 2018 where jikook was everywhere and I did indeed fall into that rabbit hole, though just like with bts I completely checked out when I left the fandom, not even because of jikook interacting less, I was just busy and I wasn't too serious about it either to begin with, it was just harmless fun in private online circles. I was gone by early 2019.

Coming back literally a few days after Like Crazy dropped (I don't even know how I found out I literally did not engage with bts at all, must be destiny or something) and seeing all the stuff that went down in the fandom is hilarious, and I'm here to stream Face until my phone combusts. Perhaps a true pjm now that solo era has begun, and I can focus on Jimin without having to care too much about keeping up with everyone. That isn't to say I hate the other guys, I'm just not as interested, and I would rather give all my energy to Jimin. If they do become BTS again, I guess I'll see if I like their music, but might check out again if not. Thanks for the blog keeping it real lol

Welcome back 😌💘
