#jikook dynamics in 2015

[stormblessed95]

I'm SO UPSET!! I had a note sheet on my phone detailing a ton of content, in chronological order from 2015 for my Jikook timeline that I literally haven't made a post for in YEARS at this point. Lol I was going to try and make a post in time for pride month. I had 75% the content I wanted to use found and tracked down OG sources, and gathered and started to get organized with links and photos.... And then my phone broke, I had to get a whole new one and I hadn't backed up my notes app at all. So it's GONE 😭😭😭 I'll have to start completely over, which truly sucks...

Learned my lesson... Damn. Sorry, no surprise Jikook dynamics timeline post for pride month. Those posts take me FOREVER to make. I will try to do something fun for pride month and to just return to this space since I've been so MIA. Sorry guys.

[viathecloset]

Taehyung and jungkook's relationship is overlooked by 90% of the fandom solely because they are so controlled by the narrative of the fandom/company that they cannot quite accept that anything outside is even a remote possibility. Ive been more of a quiet observer for years now [my sister's an army since 2015] and I've seen the boys, moreover I know how marketing and kpop works. It's quite evident if u observe close enough of the pattern on how this group of seven guys who genuinely love music is marketed you would understand to what extent you're being brainwashed. Im not talking about this like a conspiracy theorist. It's quite simple and right infront of you. Yall refuse to accept it that's all.

1. There are a certain set of stories that are made to be told by them, over and over again. Even if it disturbs them or they are bored. E.g: 2018 disbandment story, vmin dumpling incident, jikook rain fight/tokyo trip, mind you there are many things that happend between people who lived together for 10+ yrs but if it cuts the flow of events you are made to believe happened you aren't gonna hear from it, ever.

2. Like stories there are dynamics that each pair is supposed to portray Taegi as annoying/annoyed duo, taejin/jikook as flirty HS boyfriends, namseok/taekook the awkward old friends and no matter how much the relationships change or evolve you won't see it cuz again, it won't FIT the narrative that has already been shown.

3. Like relationships there are characteristics that thankfully some members chose to break out of during their solo era: hoseok always being sunshine and loud ( he's quite serious and very dedicated infact ), jungkook being that muscle dude who only knows how to follow his Hyungs ( he's very independent and has a lot of targets he wants to achieve individually, he's very thoughtful and organized) and Taehyung being WEIRD and weak ( he's extremely intelligent and super strong he's strategic and disciplined)

4. This brings us to the whole Taekook narrative, the fact that they've been seen so much during solo era yet people had the audacity to still call them distant and awkward solely cuz it wasn't via company but through Taehyung's ig or jungkook mentioning him in interviews etc. I think it's needless to say they aren't comfortable being touchy and showy on camera for content, hell if they were to shoot everytime Taehyung and jungkook hangout there would he enough CONTENT till 2067. They're supportive of eo and have a very big shared friend circle, when jungkook went missing for almost 2 months we got to know Taehyung was the one he was with.

5. The thing is everyone [ including my own sister ] thinks that Taehyung is being desperate or such whenever he mentions Taehyung cuz a. Yall have actually led jokers run so fucking rampant that everytime the man mentions him actually doing something you're ready to throw him under the bus and call him a liar or such. b. Im not saying jungkook isn't close to anyone else but when he isn't working or shooting content and just wants to be himself the one you saw him most was around Taehyung and yes it matters. In the name of hating shippers yall have not only dissed the quite frankly PRIVATE bond they seem to share but went as far as dissing Taehyung himself cuz of the extreme level of manipulation yall are under.

Ik imma find armys [jikookers ]under this sooner or later calling me names but to be honest I'm sick and tired of yall dissing very real people and their very real human relationships solely based off the content yall are made to believe is 100% candid. Go touch grass, get friends, go date, don't obsess over them for a while then come back and try seeing it from a neutral perspective.

I made this post yesterday on x out of nowhere and I got to know a lot about how people became jikookers

It’s so amazing seeing all these moments that made them jkkrs

I loved reading all these stories with jikook🥹🥹and i know most of the moments are

-GCF ( jk really knew what he was doing by making gcf it was like a reveal and year before its release he tweeted that he looked at the lyrics before doing a cover and asked us to pay attention to lyrics of songs)

- Rosebowl , In front of thousands people, jk and jm were on their own world🥹jk reassuring jm and sucking his ear( you don’t suck your friend ear)

- 2013/2015 were lot said jk disliked jm( I hate it) he never disliked him and was mad when some pointed it out, he was just shy and young, and we got to see him being confident and more relaxed through the years

-MMA 2018. 🥺🥺Their interaction was so sweet and cute , jk was so hypnotized by jm my god 😭

-the tone they use for eo, I think we all know it, it’s the same tone I use when I’m talking to my boyfriend

-Jk’s possessiveness, I think we all love it 😂jk is an open book and transparent you can see when he is pissed and we got to see him being the biggest minimoni anti😂😭

-the ultimate video ( if there is some who never watched it recommend) the op really detailed every little moment, and it changed a lot of minds

- And something we have in common we watched all real contents and saw the dynamic between these two, we still don’t know if they are really dating ( I believe they are) but even if there are not we are still in the right way bcz their bond is a true one we know how they care for each other and they are each other same place.

And if people were really sincere with themselves they will see it even locals saw it, someone who never know about shipping always ask If they are dating so I dont believe that they don’t see it but they don’t want it because it’s/ so obvious.

-2016 live in Osaka 😂where tae went in jk’s room finding him eating naked and the music😭and after tae went there you could hear jm’s voice and the next day jimin was mad at tae 😂😂( it’s détailles in the ultimate video)

-the hickey😂this is so funny to me because you can give someone a hickey when you’re being turned on the air and have time to bite someone it’s just a story they made😂and the fact that jk didn’t want anyone to touch it but jimin 😭

-jk’s 2023 lives, i think lot of people to became jkkrs with that bcz jk really didn’t hide anything

- jm’s bday 2021 were he did the live in jk’s studio, cake made by jk( you’re my park filter can you think about the insanity of this?) jimin being a blushing mess🥺their phone call, how jk talked to him too smooth how jm’s voice was too sweet and hobi who represent us ( we got to know a lot bcz of him )

-Buddy system ( I swear I still can’t believe that they really enlisted) I’m still thinking about it a lot, nothing can compare to it

And all the runs, cute moments we got, the others gcf were jk took his time when jimin came on screen, the choice of the lyrics 🥺

And jk’s aura change when he is around jimin like he is not the maknae anymore like he is with the others hyungs, like he want to kill all things touching jm, and jm in the other hand just let his guard down a little and let jk do whatever he wants 🥺

Saw too lot of them were tkkrs or ynmrs, vminers but got to watch reals content Ms to see the difference and became jkkrs

Sometimes I swear when I think about one of those specific moments I’m just zoning out like “ my god they are really in love”

[jikookficsdiarry]

HELLO LOVES!! I'm here to express my deepest love for episode 4. Finally, it has been a long week, and the wait for episode 5 is almost over :)

OFCOURSE I'm gonna begin with

너는 나, 나는 너 🥹

Jikook in the swimming pool, enjoying their time together, getting on with their daily antics was the best thing ever!! The way they played rock, paper scissors under water🥹 CUTIES my goofballs for real!! Also, yes I have the same question as you, why did Kook have to remind minie that the glass was see through?? What kind of mischief was jiminie upto?!!!

Also, umm hello?! My 2015 baby army self would have never survived this. Please I think BT21 took hiatus too seriously. Damn, I used to lose my mind over foreheads...we have come a long way lads.

Also, the ppeuri after the whole ramyeon conversation?! Hello?! Like what was going on?! The way I screamed into my pillow. BYE.

BUBBAS🥹🤍 (the yawning in sync, they are the embodiment of you are me, i am you)...also I felt so bad for tae cause his neck hurt after head banging...I really hope his neck felt so much better when kookie gave him the message🥺

You wanna know the exact moment I said "what in the AO3?"

This right here. I combusted. I smiled, then I teared up and I replayed it 10 times to know if this wasn't a fever dream. It wasn't. It was reality and then I teared up some more. Happy tears I promise🥹🤍

When I first saw this thought the sign was edited🤭 little did I know the universe was trying to give me sign instead.

All the food moments, apart from making me extremely hungry made me realise how much attention kookie pays to minie whilst he is eating. Not only in these episodes but every time kookies ensures jiminie has eaten well🥹 like idk how to explain but it tugs at my heart strings🥹🤍

Also, idk why tae bear didn't join them for snorkelling, but his smile when he looks at kookie and jiminie has my whole heart🥹🤍

I was so happy that my baby caught to fishes!! Look at that adorable boxy smile🥹 my whole heart...oh I miss tae. Okay sorry no more tears.

I usually don't point this out, but omds I could not hold back this time, the SIZE DIFFERENCE!! I know there are so many other moments, but something about kookies hand enveloping jiminie hands and jiminie holding onto kookies thumb....yeah, my heart is doing a triple axle as we speak.

To conclude, I really from the bottom of my heart enjoyed watching this episode. I was struggling health wise last week and this epsiode gave me the energy I needed. I also feel I was more relieved by the fact that Jiminie didn't feel sick anymore and wasn't hurt in any way. I was so happy to see vminkook giggling.🤍 And jikook being so happy in each other's presence. Their moments, the little things they do for each other, I see them🤍 I know there are so many theories and asks about so many moments not only in this episode. I'll reteriate, I am not going to respond to asks that are offensive or not OT7, and I am just trying to enjoy the show, please let me kindly do that🤍

Episode 5 has me already excited. Less than 24 hours!! LESSSGOO!!

Are you sure?! You truly are my serotonin🥹🤍

Thank you.

~ Nel🤍

Please drop a good review for AYS if you can🫶🏻

~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.

Jikook on the way to Japan 23 November 2023

Because of the occasion I had to share this

Jikook in Japan November 2023

[mrs-monaghan]

I'm not one big on reaction videos but a while back I watched a couple do a reaction video of Taekook and then Jikook. When they were watching the Jikook video they both mentioned how much longer the video was and how it appeared that Jikook spent a lot more time together than Taekook because of the quantity of footage--old and new. This statement got them into a lot of hot water...many taekookers commented under that video that this was simply because Big Hit (at the time) was hiding taekook and that's why there wasn't a lot of footage of them together or not as much as Jikook.

Now I'm not going to touch on the ridiculousness of tkkers claims, rather I want to focus on the statement these two Youtbers made regarding the quantity of Jikook content we have. Like have you ever just stopped and realized or considered the amount of Jikook moments there are starting from 2013! No other pairing in BTS...shit...K-pop has this much footage.

To lay it out-> Since I'm bored and missing Jikook I've been reminiscing on past moments by watching a lot of timeline videos. A YouTuber titled In-Orbit did a timeline series starting in 2014 and ending in 2017. Each year has a separate video and each video has about 40 minutes to an hour of content.

2014 video 47 minutes

2015 video 40 minutes

2016 vide 58 minutes

2017 video 54 minutes

That's about 4 hours of non-exhaustive/cut Jikook footage. Like, they excluded so many moments and shortened many moments so that each video wasn't it's own separate movie.

The Best of Jikook also does a lot of timeline videos...their's starts in 2013 and goes until 2020.

2013's video is the shortest, running time being 15 minutes.

Then her 2014 video had a running time of 30 minutes.

2015 video 40 minutes.

2016 video, 2 minutes shy of an hour.

2017 video 1 hour and 6 minutes

2018 video 1 hour and 38 minutes

2019 video nearly 2 hours

2020 video 1 hour and 40 minutes.

That's around 10 hours and 30 minutes of pure Jikook footage that again was also cut down. Also 3 years of Jikook footage is missing from these timelines.

So what does this prove? Well . . .

Best friend Status: The quantity and length of footage alone proves one thing and that's these two are beyond a shadow of any doubt the closest pairing...and always have been...yes even fetus jikook. 2013 Jikook still has more footage being together than any other BTS paring. This narrative that JK hated JM then is just a blatant lie told by those that can't tell the difference between playful banter and hate.

Jikook Grew closer in 2016: The running time for each year across all timeline videos I've seen, increased dramatically in 2016 and thereafter. The duration of these videos at the very least shows us that Jikook grew increasingly closer throughout the years because they were undoubtedly spending more time together.

Dynamic Shift started in 2015: If you watch the videos you will see that from 2013-2014 JM and JK were very playful and giving off very boyish best friend energy. There was a degree of flirting but it was masked as childish banter and it often seemed like JM just liked to poke fun at shy JK and JK liked to push back by playfully rejecting JM. However, a major shift took place in their dynamic starting in 2015. If you watch these timelines you'll see how their boyish banter becomes an exchange of Jimin exercising his "feminine wiles" and JK trying to exert a degree of masculine dominance over JM. JM's "flirting" is no longer boyish it's clearly feminine and it seems like at some point in 2015 JM became highly aware of the power he had over JK and he loved to use it. This dynamic has only increased throughout the years. JM knows that if he "acts cute" and bats his eyelashes at JK he can get him to do anything he wants. And JK knows that JM likes when he's more rough with him and they play into that often. Now People can say I'm reading into things but the transition in their dynamic is so stark from 2014 to 2015. Also, JK often talks about JM's cuteness and seems to be attacked by it...JM often talks about how he's JK's play toy and how he likes to be scolded by him. This isn't just my assumption JIkook have both confirmed this dynamic and we can see the beginnings of it starting in 2015.

Jikook are intimate: This becomes very clear towards the end of 2016 videos and on...like have you ever known a person before they've had sex and after? Or better yet have you ever seen a couple before they've been intimate and after? There's a clear shift in their behavior towards one another after they've had sex. I mean the touching, proximity, possessiveness, all of it increases. There's also a greater degree of familiarity and physical boundaries blur. You see this all happen with Jikook starting towards the end of 2016-> their physical interactions increase, they no longer seem to care about things like rubbing up against each other even when they're both sweaty, JK becomes increasingly possessive over JM and follows him everywhere, the staring OMG the staring increases so much...I mean look at JK during Fire era...I think this was pre-sex Jikook because the boy looks ready to risk it all in some clips.

I could say more like the difference between JIkook pre and post GCFT and how they are now settling into a domestic era... but the post is way more than long enough. I will just end with this...the quantity and quality of Jikook footage out there debunks literally every anti claim there is. I don't care that there's not much 2023 Jikook content---JM has been busy as hell, what do people expect? And even if he wasn't busy and we had zero content this year that still wouldn't mean Tk are a thing or that jikook broke up. What these timelines show us is how consistently close Jikook are, their growth and development and relational maturity. No other ship alive has what we have! So all the antis and insecure jikookers can Stfu!

I will only add to say that i think the deed had happened by 2016. Might even speculate that's what 8/11/15 is about. And before that most prolly other things were already happening. There was certain behaviour and tension that points to this in 2015. But other that anon, this.... all of this...

[ask-serendipity-sky]

Honestly jikook are so f*cking confusing.

Like the start is clear for me....

Jimin showed so much affection to jk, jk was shy, cold, etc and pushed him away, jimin stopped giving him affection, jk realized he liked jm, he began following jm around, jm ignored him a little around 2015 but then jikook became inseparable.

Everything that happened after that made it pretty clear that jikook are dating.

But it's getting harder and harder to keep that belief as chapter 2 started.

Like in front of the camera, it feels like they rarely interact, they rarely meet, they're not close anymore, but then they had a trip to NY, jk's bed live which had some high level of flirting.

It showed jikook's dynamic like it was before chapter 2.

I mean they don't completely let us belief that they are still together because they barely interact online and somtimes say things which slightly indicate that they have nothing going on.

But then at the same time, they don't let us completely believe that they broke up because there's no way two exes act like how they act with each other even after chapter 2.

I mean look at NY trip.

Look at jk's bed live.

Jk's other lives.

Jimin's comments on jk's live.

There's no way two exes behave like that.

And I'm pretty sure jimin won't be talking so fondly about jungkook if they broke up. He probably would ignore jk if that was the case.

So like it's so confusing. I mean I understand they're very private but it's such a on and off behavior that it gets so confusing if they're actually together or if we're Imagining things.

I don't understand what's the point of shipping. Like what exactly are we supporting if we're not seeing anything. What are we here for?

The only thing we can do is enjoy their music. Shipping seems pointless now. Because even if they are together then what's our purpose? We're literally getting to see nothing. I'm not saying that jikook owe us anything. They don't.

But I'm just slightly confused how people still have so much interest in shipping if we're getting zero content. It's not like we're jikook'srelatives. We're fans. We require content. Don't we?

I don't know. To me it's getting boring to ship. Because there's literally nothing to see anymore. Jikook are not sharing anything with us. Which honestly is fine. But I don't understand what are shippers even doing? What are we getting out of this? Because the only thing we used to get was happiness after seeing jikook together. But since we're not getting that anymore why are we still here?

I'm sorry. Obviously people can ship whoever. But idk guess I just wanted to share my thoughts about the whole shipping thing.

Hi anon,

I'm glad you are sharing...because I think there are other people who feel the same way.

Chapter 2 has been a time where it's hard to believe jikook is together. No matter what jikooker label you have. It's fair to question what the whole point of this is and to question where this is going.

I have the same thoughts about shipping or supporting or whatever people want to call it. With us or without us, jikook will either be a thing or not.

Perhaps a better term is just observers? Because that's what we end up doing.

Third wheelers?

Things have changed on screen. They have. Because life happened to jikook. Like real life stuff. And yes, they technically don't owe us anything but as observers we want something to see.

But off screen...

Jimin went to New York and that shows that there is much more that hasn't been visible and from there things have escalated and will continue escalating. In real life, jikook has always been. They have been behind the scenes for a bit now but they are still there.

Something changed (in regards to the stuff that jikook went through) and that's why we are able to see their interactions again. Decisions and pacts were made.

If jikook was broken up, we would see it. It's been visible in the past and it would be visible again if it was currently happening. Both Jk and Jimin behave a certain way when jikook is in a bad place. Like you said, Jimin would ignore Jk and only be civil with him. That's a huge sign.

What are people are getting out of this? For me, it's knowing that good things are coming for them. I look forward to whatever they want to share, whether it's their professional or personal lives. I'm still here because I know I haven't read things wrong.

If they share nothing, I will continue with my life normally and enjoy the music.

But let me tell you something...stuff is coming. And maybe that's one of the reasons I stay too.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Hope I was able to answer you somewhat.

[tokyokookmin]

Have you seen the super long video someone just uploaded of jikook from 2013-2021? If not here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y6RhdFIE-g

I've noticed so many things and have so many thoughts but if you've seen it what are your take aways seeing everything in one place like this in chronological order?

Hi, anon!

I have seen this whole video a while ago, this video is dedicated towards the growth of jimin's and jungkook's relationship. It was beautifully edited and all of jikook's moments were compiled together in chronological order from 2013 (when they first debuted) till 2021.

Well, anon, feel free to send in another ask or you can also hit me up in the DM's! I will gladly give my take on the moments you have thoughts about! Since this video is extremely long and full of moments, I can't possibly give my observation for every single moment. If you were more specific on which moments, I will not hesitate to elaborate more about it.

Nevertheless, here's a quick run-through of jikook's dynamics throughout the years.

2013/2014

looking at 2013 chemistry, we have seen jimin being very brave to acknowledge that he's affectionate towards jk. He likes to call jk cute and does like to compliment him but bear in mind that this was just only the beginning of BTS's debut. Jimin didn't have much time to connect with the members as he was one of the last members to join :)

Based on my observation, Jimin felt more connected towards Jungkook as he was the group's maknae and is from Busan which I where Jimin's from (Im not ignoring the fact that Tae also played a big part as a close friend towards him) Jimin just wanted to build and establish a great bond with jk. (just too attached)

For JK, it's not like he never liked jm, it's just that he was more reserved and was getting into the zone. He had always endeared jm and valued jimin's presence. He has always had those shiny eyes for his hyung ever since the beginning!

Then in 2014, we saw the equations developing gradually.

Things were going on as usual, the normal teasing was going on, the same old wooing and casual chats, jimin wanting to go on a trip with Jungkook.

2014 was just a slow process for the dynamics to progress.

2015

I believe jikook's relationship hit a milestone in 2015. Things started to show very much. It was a turning point.

We saw jungkook turning vocal. His body language and expressions were clear enough for us to know that something was up between them. The sudden praising and flirtiness coming out of that guy were crazy.

We saw them being closer and more flirty throughout 2015. The back hug-slow dance that not many noticed.

The year when jungkook started praising jimin numerous times!

( CONTEXT- here, jk is saying that jm eyes are beautiful)

Jungkook's description of Jimin in Malaysia's press conference (MY armies, where are yall, lol)

Their moments in public started developing even more and we had lots of intimate hugs and moments that year. Not to forget, we also got many selcas and jikook lives!

There's no possible way to exclude the 2015 OSAKA JIKOOK moment, am I RIGHT? 😂

2015 was a year great for them, things began to be great between them, and the intimacy between them grew. They also were exploring their feelings that year, which I think is a great thing!

2016

Even more giggles and flirtiness. Just jikook being very obvious that year. But first, check this out.

If you're lazy to run through that post, here's a quick recap for you.

this incident was a year before serendipity.

Apart from that, Jikook received a term from karmy and the media. Karmy started calling Jikook the Sun and Moon duo in 2016 after the coming-of-age ceremony. Jimin is known as the moon and jk as the sun.

We got amazing selcas that year and plenty of interactions as well!

They went on a break together around early 2016.

Them talking about their shopping experience together while shopping for Jk's birthday.

fast forward

2017

Oh boy, this one has got to be one of my favourite years of jikook chemistry. This was officially it, you know? From serendipity, gcf-t to award shows. Good lord, save my heart.

We got the iconic gcf-t in Tokyo which was a phenomenal video jk made (no one expected that coming) "running, running just to get my hands on you". Jimin through Jungkooks eyes <3

I genuinely feel so happy for both of them!

Then we got the Serendipity MV. Serendipity has A LOT OF DETAILS! It's connected to jikooks relationship. I find that song very therapeutic and full of warmth and love.

If you remembered what I said (linked my Zico post) in the 2016 timeline, you would notice that the "you are me and I am you" has a connection with serendipity. That trail of 너는 나고 나는 너야 ( Neoneun Na Naneun Neo) began from there. Jikook's never-ending usage of that quote will forever be our favourite 🥰

serendipity post (1)

Of course, we will not forget jikook in Bon Voyage, lol. We got so much of jikook crumbs that year. Damn, it's crazy, lol.

Oh man, this one screamed LOUD! We got jikook as a pair for the SUMMER PACKAGE 2017! Was it intentional to use the rainbow unicorn floaties?

This one is quite scandy, lol. We got jikook wilding in the People interview.

Just Jk saying things, don't mind him 😂.

jk, what you tryna tell oml.

OOPS. Well, I ran out of the pic and link usage. I will continue the 2017 - 2021 timeline as soon as possible. Thank you again for bearing with me. I had this post in the drafts for an extended period. Anyways, this is only my observation, it might be right or wrong, but all we know is that we are all jikook supporters.

This post took me quite a long time to collect information and links. I hope that you guys will enjoy it 💕🥰

Hello goldy ,

I hope you are doing well. would you like to be dululu about old times please..? I was going through some old original content of BTS to see jikook interactions back in 2014. I came across this video where jin is choosing Jimin as good parner to date becase he is kind and gentalman and then looked suggestively at JK and even pint finger at jimin while looking at JK. Made me really curious about whether any other BTS members has any roll to play in jikook even before they became a thing...Do you think Jin being closest to jungkook at that point of time sensed something? Even in some of the other videos around 2015 i find jins reactions or coments about jikook very intresting. What is your take on this..? Lots of love to you...keep being you..

You answered the question yourself love

ALL OF THEM the answer is ALL OF THEM

THE WHOLE CLASS

THE WHOLE FOOTBALL TEAM

EVEN THE LEGOS TOO

Guilty as charged. JIKOOK AREN'T SO SUBTLE 😔

And puberty did them wrong, had them putting their pants on backwards😫

Those teenage hormones fucked the script. Would be strange if we over the wall could sniff it while those close to them didn't 🥴

Go watch Jimin's birthday where they tease Jimin's father showing up unannounced and Suga literally points a finger to JK when he thought JK was ducking. Like why would you find that funny?

Or or Jhope singing happy birthday Jk when it's JMs birthday

Or Jimin saying thank you whenever Jungkook is praised.

Or RM pointing to JM when JK says he likes to film the skies and people.

Or BTS suddenly forgetting JMs name and calling him JK

Or Jimin losing his luggage and Jhope turning to Jk to see his reaction.

Or JK acting mad JM lost his luggage

Or BTS scolding JM whenever JK messes up

Or or any of the gazillion moments of bts member checking to see JK's reaction when they interact with Jm. Like are you kidding me? BTS acting sus around Jikook is the whole foundation of our ship😩

Jikook is either real

or...

Bangtan just more delulu than us

They liked to tease them for sure. Tae had this whole thing where he would ask Jimin if he is nervous around Jk, or tease JM about chasing after JK and being ignored etc

Didn't he even say he thought JM liked boys where JM snapped back and said even if he like men he didn't like Tae?

And he would deliberately sabotage Jikook's jikookery- an act he still carries on to this day. he literally calls Jk our for attempting to eye fuck Jimin on camera during the dynamic mv reaction live. Old habits they say

Did they sense something??

YA THINKKKKK?????

With a whole Suga pointing out how he thought it weird that Jk didn't even want to treat JM as his hyung. THEY SENSED EVERYTHING.

The writing was not on the wall.

IT WAS ON OUR EYELIDS

Now if you say role to play....

do you mean like they played cupid love match making agents between JK and JM??

Do those two look like they needed anyones help fondling eachother's balls in the dark rooms they sneaked into at night????

If anything all I recall is Jungkook shooing them away whenever they interfered in his me time with JM

I was asking if you're a jikooker?

Anyways, the question is as you're jungkook biased whom do you think was closest it jungkook back then and now. See why I'm asking is for me it was very clear that he was very much closest to jimin like i know he was close to V in the early years but later it seemed he became close to jimin and we all know the ITS talk happened which made it clear that jungkook and taehyung has not been same from soe time although now it seems they're close again

Idk where jikook stand as a friends right now like close? Yes they are but like closest? Idk anymore.

The question I'm asking is because for me he seemed pretty closest to jm than other members then why does so many people in this fandom does not think like that? More importantly why the jk biased people are mostly taekookers and hates jm? Like if you're a jk biased can't you see he's close to jm the most?

I wanted to write more but my mind is not working currently so that is all i wanna ask that why do mostly jk biased are tkkrs and hates jm. I wanted an opinion of jk biased or just an ot7 and not a jikooker that's why asked you if you're a jikooker.

Sorry, I didn't think you were talking about Jikook... I'm a Jikooker, but Jinkook is tied with Jikook as my favorite dynamic - a platonic one. I'm not a shipper. I only believe in Jikook, though that makes me sound like a shipper to a lot of people haha. I'm probably not who you wanted to answer this question, but I'll give it a shot anyway!

V and Jungkook are the most popular members and Taekook the most popular ship, so it makes sense that statistically there are more Taekookers who are Jungkook biased than Jikookers... And a lot of Tkkrs hate Jimin because of the competitiveness between the ships.

I also think, as a Jungkook biased Army, that it's beyond obvious that Jikook are extremely close. You could argue that in the early days, and maybe in chapter 2, Vkook are closer - because there's so much content between them, - but, like you said, ITS showed they weren't as close as they could've been until recently. Given Jungkook's history with Jimin and V, and all the little Jikook moments we still get (such as Jungkook mentioning and interacting with Jimin, watching his videos, singing his songs, etc.) it's clear as day that Jungkook adores Jimin. But I get that Vkook are besties now, which is great. However, Jimin and Jungkook are very private and have really different schedules right now. It doesn't mean they're any less close.

I don't know. It's just so obvious that I don't know what to say? Anyone who's watched BTS content should know Jikook are attached at the hip, and that there are always periods of no content, followed by a flood of Jikook content, upon which we suddenly realize Jikook were attached at the hip all along but we didn't see it. Memories 2020 and 2021 come to mind.

My mind isn't working right now either, sorry, but, yeah, Jikook are still the closest imo, although Vkook are much closer now - which is great!!

In the past, do you mean before 2015? From at least 2016 onward Jikook seem extremely close. I became Army in 2019 so there's a lot I don't know. But even in their pre-debut and rookie days Jikook were close. They've told so many stories about hanging out together while everyone else slept, being late night buddies, sharing their struggles, etc.. I mean, Jimin convinced Jungkook to stay in the group when he came back from the US and wanted to dance. And Jungkook has always really admired Jimin's work ethic and now he devoted himself in his trainee days. Jimin has adored Jungkook from day 1. Their early v-logs are almost embarrassing. Jimin was besotted.

I don't know if this was helpful lmao. Thanks for the ask!

[stormblessed95]

Hey Storm. I remember you talking about push and pull between jikook and Jungkook's power struggle with Jimin in 2015.

How do you see their dynamic has developed or evolved now in 2022, 7 years later?

Hi! I'll link all the posts where I talk about their dynamics over a year here

In that post, you'll find my in depth timeline dynamics series, which is complete so far for now through the first half of 2015. And then you'll find the others where I answer asks like this one over specific years in a more general overview type way. Including 2013-14, 2018, 2019 and 2021. 2021 is mostly just theories that I said I wasn't super willing to discuss, that I plan to give an update to once I finish watching memories. Also there is an overall dynamics through the years which gives my idea of what their relationship timeline looked like in my opinion based off context clues.

In 2022, I don't see a dynamic shift or change at all honestly. I can say for the past 2 years, they are giving settled and content and happy in a long term relationship vibes. To me at least. It's giving domestic bliss. It's giving comfort in their love. Settled blissfully happy lives. Living their own lives together. They found their groove awhile ago, settled into it and now are just super happy being there together. They live their own lives, but they live them together and they live them being in love. It's giving safety and security and contentment. From the little we have seen so far at least from this year.

And they are consistently together and still flirting and being playful whenever they want. Lol Hopefully that makes sense though as for my opinion of their dynamics so far this year

Jimin's Birthday minus 8 - 2015 Celebrations

By 2015, BTS had released two studio albums and had been on the extended Red Bullet Tour playing to 80,000 people in 18 cities in 13 countries. They were in the middle of their The Most Beautiful Moment in Life EP series and gearing up for another concert tour starting in November 2015.

BTS had developed a really positive team dynamic. Jimin is confident about his place in that team and his relationships with the other members. Everyone is visibly hyped up and happy to be celebrating his birthday. Taehyung and Jungkook spend a lot of the video jumping around excitedly at the back.

J-Hope asks what Jimin wants for his birthday and he immediately says he want to drop honorifics with Hobi and Yoongi.

Do you know who else decided to drop honorifics that day? Yes, you've seen the clip, none other than Mr Jeon Jungkook. "Jimin-ah" he teases much to Jimin's obvious but indulgent chagrin.

The Jikook dynamic had definitely begun to evolve.

The video ends with V's birthday greeting. "Let's work hard. Let's get better. Let's give better performances" and "Let's do it together" were the sentiments of the day.

It looks like this celebration took place on the 12th October slightly anticipating Jimin's birthday.

On the 13th, Jimin recorded a Vlog talking about the preparations for their next album and concert tour and his desire to get back in front of an audience. Even today, seven years later, he continues to say performing is his favourite activity (Proof interviews).

The members posted funny pictures again in 2015 but what struck me most were some of the photos posted by Big Hit to mark the day. Jimin had broken out of his chrysalis, spread his wings and was well on his way to becoming the mesmerising performer that he is today.

ok when you say Jaywon from Enhypen have the same dynamics as jikook you have me intrigued. what is it about them that makes you say they’re the same?

***

Well, honestly now I’m regretting saying it. Lol. I was talking in the wider context of the group and it slipped, so I guess there’s no choice but to clarify what I meant now.

I’ve been asked before if there’s any other pairing / ship in k-pop that I think could have something more, and each time I think I’ve responded with ‘no’ or mentioned some generic popular ship that does have sus moments like Chanlix and minsung.

But the only other pairing in k-pop that seriously has me questioning reality, is Jay’s friendship with Jungwon. And because unless you understand how the group works/relates to each other, it’s impossible to explain what I’m talking about. And so I’ve generally avoided mentioning them here because the last thing I want is the wrong sort of attention on them. And I know many of my followers know next to nothing about Enhypen.

But yeah, their dynamic is equal parts wholesome and… interesting. But Enhypen is a young group (barely 3 years old), their relationships are all still at the foundational stage or only just getting into more exploratory phases, so think about how BTS relationships or specifically jikook were around 2015 - 2016. Jay and Jungwon are very different people from Jimin and Jungkook, but I recognize many things about their relationship in ways I’ve already described for jikook.

And this is just from my semi-casual observation (similar to how jikook first showed up on my radar). I follow the group enough to have biases and have formed a solid opinion on them, but I don’t keep up with them as much as I do BTS.

[marengogo]

hi dunno if you had this question or not but do u think before jikook become a "thing" vmin and jihope messed around... cos if u ask other blogs they will beat around the bushes but aint nobody actually answering lol im saying this cos vmin are close as jihope hobi was his roomate tho (roomates) i didnt see jimin &hobi dynamic turn around like this until bv in malta or burn the stage..?

anyway it doesnt changr my opinion on jikook im just curious cos it looks like they prob messed around lol and

at some point i think rm had a crush on jimin too thats why sometimes jungkook had ?? a "problem with minimoni " monitoring jikook

Hello Anon,

Sure, let’s talk abou it.

No, I don’t think JM messed around with any other member in BTS before, during or after JK. Short answer; amongst other factors, one (not the main factor but  …) is it would take a person who actually thinks they are desired in such a manner to do so, and quite unfortunately, for the longest time, I do believe JM didn’t believe himself to be said person at all. As for the Long answer, let’s look at each pairing you mentioned, shall we?

Let’s start with giving some context to my thoughts: 

Not sure if you read any other of my posts, but I think 2015 was the year JK started “peacocking” so to say, at JM, and through ups and downs it took them 2017/2018 to actually enter a steady relationship and by steady I don’t mean they were in an open relationship prior to this. What I mean is that they both were trying to figure out things like, for example; what they actually were feeling for each other, or would them “being together” actually work, or could they really actually do this., etc, etc etc.  

Furthermore, I should add, that I believe JM “taunting” JK with requests of kisses and telling him he liked him and wanted to go out with him etc, as they already had a very good relationship off-camera (as proven by various interviews), was just an also quite naive approached mixing at an attempt to establish a connection with JK on camera, with feelings he still himself hadn’t quite properly acknowledged. In simple words: He was consciously kidding about feelings he subconsciously already had but never really took seriously. 

Last but not least, I’m team: JK made the actual first move, which is not to be confused with: he fell first, he fell harder, etc … whatever with all that BS. And yes, people are entitled with their own opinions, but yeah, I didn’t see none of that. I’m talking about moves. If you will, look at it as a chess game, at some point in 2015 JK impulsively/(frustratedly) moved a pawn at a game neither he or JM knew they were playing; and the “game” began. 

Ok … now that you have the pretext, let’s go back to our regularly scheduled program of the day: 

VMIN: We have a period between 2012 (when JM joined BH) and 2015 where JM supposedly would have had the time to be messing around with Tae. Because after 2015, JK’s not very well structured (lol) plan of action kept JM rather busy (added to the fact that JM was going through personal awakenings of his own). Now this particular friendship during and pre 2015 gave us pearls such as this:

JM and Tae have a very deep, unique and special friendship and  like every relationship in the world, context matters, but like every great relationship, theirs, goes beyond that (context). Their context was/is South Korea, being both of the same age bracket (‘95) they had a common ground on which they began to bond, as age is an important factor in SK, but then there was more. For example, they just so happened to fall into the catching up team. One (JM) arrived last in the group, and was playing catch up internally (with the members), the other had been there for a while, but was only revealed after debut, so he was playing catch up externally (with fans not knowing about him until debut). And please don’t think that one is harder than the other, particularly not on the scale of things they were in.  

And there were their personalities. What were the chances that two young men, so different in thoughts and actions could be so compatible in soul/Seoul? Tae standing up for JM at school, JM playing along with Tae’s acting passion, them allowing themselves to be vulnerable with each other. Making mistakes with each other. Taking the time to make it right with each other. We are never going to know how deep this connection goes between the two of them. And here is where you might think: “I’d want to give it a go romantically with such a connection!”. I’d want to as well, NGL,  if only I had realised it and if my preferences were also so inclined. 

But here’s what I think happened/ was(is) the situation:

1. Tae, out of all the members was/is the one member, who knew/knows exactly who he is. And I can’t assume people’s sexualities, but, in MY opinion,  from what I’ve seen, I feel like he is a very big ally, but straight (or at the very least queer-curious? Those that even exist?).  I think Tae is very secure in his skin and loves to test his limits constantly and not because it is fun to do, but because he can and it would possibly allow him to maybe gain something from doing so. Most likely, all the time spent being a secret member, also gave him the time to think about how he wanted to be perceived, which also eventually would have ended up affecting everything else positively or negatively. So when it came to JM, someone he started to feel really close to, he let his guard down, completely. So much so that sometimes he just would almost test him, or throw at him anything that he came across in his mind, just to see how far their relationship could go? And, even if at some point he did think to maybe try and give it a go romantically, the next point came up.

2. JM wasn’t up for it. Not in a mean way or dismissive way, not at all; you really got to care a lot about someone to end up fighting and being emotionally-drunk over fucking dumplings. Let that sink in. Another thing that needs to sink in is that JM does, and will do, what he feels and what he wants. Always (Ironically enough, so will Tae, another thing they have in common). At the time, JM was the last member to join, he was struggling with his identity, he was publicly struggling with JK (not irrelevant) and who knows what more. So his brain had to somehow work with processes of elimination to keep sane and in my opinion, if ever Tae made a move, it was shut down, because JM also needed friends. Friends are always needed. Friends are important, have them if you can. And I do think that Tae was friendzoned, early on, because he was a good friend at that. Tae was his ‘95 buddy, his “we are kinda going through the same shit” buddy, his let’s conquer the musical world together buddy. But all was very platonic, because, even though the subconscious may not be out there; it is there and JK was in it. 

JIHOPE: Jung Hoseok. The worlds’ brightest ray of light with a powerful little cloud hidden at the corner of his caring soul. In a way, just like JM a troubled soul (like every member really  … like everyone on this planet really!). But Hobi and JM had something else to bond over first and foremost: DANCE. That probably started the conversation with the two of them but then there was fashion, shopping, laughing at dumb stuff, the aching need to become the best version of oneself, the natural want to find and provide comfort to those who needed it the most. 

Hobi and JM connected on a nurturing level. One thing I feel strongly about, is that Hobi never had any sort of romantic thoughts towards any of the members in BTS and perhaps a part of JM picked up on that and allowed him to feel “secure”. Secure in the sense where he knew that every touch, every hug, every kiss (we are talking of friendly pecks) was out of caring love, and had no chance of being misinterpreted, ever. Reason why I think JM had singled out Hobi as the mother of the group at the very beginning, but now I do believe that Hobi is kinda like that caring brother, who would do anything to support his brothers.

Also, something that people seem to either not think about, or just really underestimate is that Hobi was spending quite a lot of time with JK as well. 3J get along, not only because they are good dancers. I’ve always felt that out of all the hyungs, Hobi was the one that truly treated JK like an actual little brother, allowing him to pester him, and not in the same way he did with Jin. Jin mentally also becomes a maknae (or even younger, lol) when he gets into it. Hobi just had that big brother vibe doting on a cute little brother, something that JM has tried as well, but was never quite like Hobi.

Another thing that Hobi does a lot is observe, he is a quick learner, he observes and quickly puts in practice. I can guarantee you there was a lot of that while he was hanging out with Jikook and part of me thinks that at some point, he observed and put in practice by questioning JM. Hobi has this way of nonchalantly bringing up pertaining/delicate points in any situation, without making a big deal out of it. This might have eventually made him become someone who JM could confide in and talk to about things he didn’t necessarily know how to with others.

And last ..

JK and MINIMONI: I’ve actually quite recently written about Minimoni, so please do read this if you would → CORONA BOREALIS - 1: The Emphat & The Intellectual - MiniMoni. Upon reading that (if you do) you’ll see why I think, neither ever had feelings for each other. So, no Joon never had a crush on JM. Now because of another very long ask (sent to me now an eternity ago), I just so happen to have to write about NamKook, so look out for it, it’s going to be called → CORONA BOREALIS - 2: WonderBoy & The Wanderer - NamKook, should be coming out pretty soon. 

But to answer your question, I don’t think JK has ever had a problem with RM monitoring them (neither did JM), I think he’d probably understand that Namjoon would have no other choice but to do so on occasion, particularly if things seemed like they were getting out of hand. If anything, at the very beginning JK has had moments in which he seemed uncomfortable with MiniMoni’s interactions, which was probably caused by unintelligible fears and projections, (which were directed at JM rather than RM) and as humans who have lived on this planet we all know a little bit about this don’t we? … But JK’s possible insecurities are a whole other story, isn’t it?

Currently, I think JK appreciates Namjoon’s presence more than we know, and because he knows him, and knows JM, he most likely understands why and on what level MiniMoni connect. I think that JK has been on a mission, for a while now, to have RM see him as a capable grown ass man, he’d like for the man he admires to look at him and think “yeah, you really do got this, don’t you?” (not that I don’t think Namjoon doesn't already think this of JK), but I also believe that deep down JK just needs someone to keep looking up to and not someone he has to beat, if it makes sense? But I’ll better discuss this in the NamKook post I’m writing.

Well, not sure that I’ve answered your questions but I sure did express my opinions in this long-ass post haven’t I? MY BAD.

Always very respectfully your 🫰🏾💜,

Marengo.

Hi! I've been following your blog for a while. As a longtime ARMY and someone who (wants to) believe that jikook is real, your posts never fail to give me the flutters.

Did you get a chance to see Jimin's choreography practice sketch yet? (spoiler: jk shows up hehe)

Whenever I see jikook interacting (and especially in recent years), it always feels and looks like it should be something kept private. Idk. I'm parasocializing third-wheeling lmao. The way they can't stop smiling at each other. The way their hands reach for each other like second nature. The way jk speaks to jm; I know little about the nuances of korean informal/formal language, but even then their tones are what make the difference to me. Language barrier or not, it's hard to miss how jk speaks to jm, which is so different from how he speaks to the other members. And all this, out of a less than 1-min interaction between the two (maybe I'm also projecting lol)

Ever since jk's suchwita live, I've plunged neck deep in jikook feels. Jk didn't have to make a live centered around jm, but he did. He didn't have to watch 2 diff versions of set me free pt 2, nor watch the bts teasing jm compilation, all in front of us; but he did. He did, and it's been wreaking havoc on my heart ever since. That must mean something, because jk doesn't do this for the other members. It goes beyond fanservice because as you already mentioned, he wasn't paying much attention to ARMY during the live. We weren't the focus; jm was.

I'm not delusional - at least, I don't want to be delusional. I've said this to myself many times since 2015. I enjoyed their dynamic together, but as time went on, the dynamic began to shift. Each year it became less funny and more real. Certain moments, like hickey gate and rosebowl, seemed straight out of fantasy. And even looking beyond them, the reactions of the other members are also very telling.

I don't remember why I wrote this anymore lol. I'm just glad I don't seem to be alone in thinking they're real. And thank you for your hardwork and content! I always enjoy reading your thoughts on our favourite black and white + sun and moon + 5813 + you-are-me-i-am-you couple💜🌙☀

@theblindjassassin I do apologize for taking such a long time to get back to you. But I didn't forget you.

Everything you wrote is just IT.

You are not delusional. We here, us, are not delusional.

Those parts of the fandom that love calling us that, they are either colour blind (can't see the rainbow), or delusional themselves wishing upon a non existent romantic relationship between either JK or JM and another member (never happened, ain't happening, and ain't ever going to happen).

I'm happy you did put your thoughts to paper, so to speak, because it's lovely to read these kind of posts every once in a while, helps us refocus, remember, reminiscence.
