#jikook hardly even jikooking just hugging and touching and shit

[whysojiminimnida]

Hi, not necessarily jikook related, but I wanted your opinion about something of the perilla leaf discussion that I haven’t seen mentioned.

One thing I really don’t like about K-pop in general is the gatekeeping of the artists, so much so that if they are found out to have a SO it’s a huge scandal. I think two idols posted “apology” posts for their fans when they got married/had kids. Now I know this is something cultural that I clearly cannot wrap my head around, but I find it quite sad.

So back to BTS, I was very surprised about the perilla leaf discussion because it was them admitting (albeit indirectly) that they date and have relationships. Hopefully it is not news to anyone that men in their middle-to-late twenties date, but seeing the culture around Kpop in general I thought it was very cool that hybe would release that video (not to mention the whole gender neutral language use that dalloga explained).

I know it’s nothing but maybe one day the culture around idols can change (not that they should disclose their relationship status, just you know live their life knowing that if their relationship is founding out/they want to disclose it they don’t risk losing their careers).

A-HA. This is the commentary on the perilla leaf I was looking for. Thanks, nice anon! Here, please enjoy a pretty Jeon-Park hug-and-rub because NOTHING TO SEE HERE NOBODY DATING ANYONE AHEM (and thanks to phorenjj on twt for it because i stole it from them LOOK AT JEIKEI'S HAND) :

This stuck out to me and I have a call later with Kevin for oppa reasons (he hovers, lately) so I'm gonna ask him. About the perilla leaf thing, not about JeiKei's hand. Because I agree with you.

I haven't seen @dalloga 's explanation but I love her so whatever she said is definitely correct. For me I just noticed that the word used was gender neutral in Korean. It just means "partner" basically and can be used for any gender, so it was a good choice and I was happy to hear it. My spoken Korean is truly awful but I know a little bit. Kev's trying y'all. HE'S TRYING. Regardless, the intent was there not to say "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" specifically but to punt that word in favor of a gender neutral term, and I appreciated that. AND HOLY CATS YES I have been hoping someone would bring up the "oh hey we are adults who, y'know, peel perilla leaves and have partners and do adult sex things" because THIS IS SO UNUSUAL FOR KOREAN ARTISTS. Y'all know this is very out of the ordinary when just last year iKON's Bobby had to apologize to fans for getting married and fathering a child. In 2020 EXO's Chen did the same, even though he did not say he was sorry when his wife had their second child in January. It's an issue. We've seen how stans handled Tae's probable girlfriend and his response to that fairly recently. These guys even THINK about showing up with a woman (god forbid a man) and we like to think ARMY would be cool with it but based on my observations, that is NOT THE CASE. Maybe half of us would be fine, even supportive, but there are real, actual dangerous solo stans out there who could and would present a physical threat to the safety of ANY significant other. There's a whole slew of reasons our guys have ALL stayed "single" all this time, even though it's very likely that the majority of them are involved outside the group and two of them have been a couple for years. And I do think Bang and Co. are supportive of, IDK, letting grown ass adults be, IDK, grown ass adults. Which, in K-pop, is refreshing. I dunno if it's just BTS or if they'll do the same for other groups. I hope they do.

Speaking of whom, have some pretty Jikook doing that photoshoot hug.

Thanks again, nice anon. :)

RunBTS! EP43 - Jikook Recap - What ABO world is this?!

I’m barely getting into the ep and the flirting has already started wtf.  Look at jeon’s eyes and listen to his voice and look at jimin all shy...really, what world is this, i’m so glad to be a part of it. 

 Aww look! the boyfriends are sitting together! Jimin can hardly wait to touch jeon, his hands already at Jeon’s back before the boy can even sit down - suave!  And then the laughing...ohhhh, jiminie love, just sit on his lap already, it won't surprise us at all! side note: hand size difference...ugh, my fucking heart.  Is it necessary to sit this fucking close?? You're abso-fucking-lutely right it is.  Body parts must touch somewhere this close within vicinity, definitely. But it’s probably because of that...that we now have this:

(JiKook can’t behave around one another, we ALL know) This is a good time to remember that Jin is one of us...he may always be a 3rd fucking wheel, but he thirds from afar.  The other members don't play that shit, as Yoongs demonstrates. sobs.

More actual proof that VLive crew ships JiKook. ⤴ Jiminie was was just so full of heart eyes and pride during this part when Jeon was blindfolded, it was sickeningly pleasing.  I love boys who ain’t afraid to show their love for one another.

How cute are they? Still can’t behave and trying to hide in the back...you boys should know better!  Jikook fans have hawk-eyes...but we don’t necessarily have to use them often - our boys are shameless, just the way we likes! I’m so soft, you’re so soft, let the awwwws be heard!

FACT: Yoongs just fucking outed Jikook's ABO lifestyle.  5 other guys he could've smelled like and it's Jeon. Yeap, confirmed, don't fight me fam. ABO is now CANON amongst the Kookmin fandom.  And that is one SATISFIED expression on Jeon Jungkook’s face.

til next ep, hugs & kisses~

I Got a Bad Case of Lovin’ You Chap. 3

Taegi Doctor!Au

Pairing: Taegi, side jikook and namjin unrequited!Sope

Fluff and Mild angst

Yoongi and Hoseok are childhood friends who have a small studio together where they produce music and Hobi can choreograph dances. An accident occurred when Hobi kicked Yoongi while dancing sending him tumbling and causing Suga to get a mild concussion. Now tired and in pain Yoongi meets a very charismatic doctor that’s here to help him feel better maybe in more ways than one? With blossoming relationships, odd sex advice and miscommunication between longtime friends Yoongi find’s himself falling for the smooth talking beloved Dr. Kim Taehyung. 

~

His movements precise and quick as if you blinked you would miss them. Sweat trailing down his back and forehead his labored breaths hot but even and paced. He knew how to work his body after years of dancing.

The song finally ending Hoseok stayed still for just a few seconds more his arms fell at his sides as he caught his breath. Muttering a single fuck under his breath. For some reason it still didn’t feel right. Like something was off with the dance, though Jungkook told him three times already it seemed perfect, but since last night hoseok hadn’t been in the right mindset.

Not since Yoongi told him his feelings about the doctor he was seeing. Sure the man had been decent looking, but not ever had Hobi thought Yoongi would become infatuated with someone in such a short amount of time.

 Once in high school it had taken the stubborn boy almost two months to admitting he had a crush on this one girl he had his eye one since the beginning of that school year.

Taking a quick drink he stretched his limbs out before hitting replay on his phone, taking even breaths before starting over. He didn’t like the way he felt the instant the words had left his best friend's lips. He hated the way he felt that whole not night, not getting a lick of sleep. He hated how in love he was with Yoongi knowing the boy would never be his.

The movements becoming harsher he pushed his already screaming muscles even further, dancing was his way of getting out all the aggression. It helped him cope with so many things and usually forgetting about is unrequited love was one of them. So lost in the piece that he was nearly scared to death when his name was shouted over the music. Tripping over his feet as he spun to face where the voice had come from.

Catching himself with his hands before he could face plant Yoongi was already at his side. Checking him over Yoongi moved to shut the music off before returning his attention to Hoseok.

“Are you okay?” He asked voice low and timid. Nodding Hoseok was so out breath he couldn’t properly reply. “Dumbass I’ve told you not to push too hard, I called your name like five times.”  Sitting up gave Hobi gave his friend an apologetic look muttering sorry under his breath. “You’re supposed to take me home remember..” Yoongi said bringing some water for his dying friend.

Dowing the entire thing Yoongi shook his head. “Is everything alright? You’ve been acting weird all day, plus a little last night.”

Standing with the help of Yoongi, Hoseok nodded, “I'm fine Suga..” He bit out a response.

There was a beat they stood there in this thick air neither wanting to say anything first. “Sorry, just tired.” Hobi tossed his empty bottle in the trash across the room. “I can have the kid take me home if you want.”

“No really it’s okay I promised, i’ve just been a little stressed.” Already gathering his things he felt the major need for a shower, but there was no point seeing as he’d just need to come back and get sweaty all over again during his class.

Yoongi stood in the middle of the studio while Hoseok was headed towards the door. Stopping he turned to his friend tilting his head in confusion.

“Hoseok are you sure everything’s fine..I saw how you were dancing you only get that aggressive when you’re upset about something.”

Sighing Hoseok wanted to just shake his head and yell no everything wasn’t fine!  Instead pulling on a soft smile, “Ah Sugai'm fine like I said just a little stressed, cmon i'll take you home okay, you look tired.”

Hesitant to come Yoongi slowly made his way over to Hobi, “You better not be lying to me asshole.” His narrowed eyes, the look would have made anyone else shit their pants, but to Hoseok he found it entirely too enduring how much his friend cared. That affection only adding to his inner turmoil.

“Awe I told you last night you were getting soft on me!” Throwing an arm around the blond, Yoongi shoved the other away. “You’re all sweaty and stink get off me.”

Snickering hobi could at least for just a while forget about his heart ache. Besides maybe this “crush” the blonde had was nothing, he had known Yoongi for a long time usually people didn’t keep his attention long. Hoseok had just been one of those fortunate people who did.

-

Coming home exhausted Hoseok didn’t expect there to be company when he walked in and saw Jungkook on the couch with that cute nurse. The younger boy’s arm slung around the other they looked comfortable and entirely too cute cuddled into each other’s sides. It sent a sour feeling to Hoseok gut and he quickly averted his eyes. “Hey!” Jungkook called his hello from the couch before excusing himself to talk to his friend in the kitchen.

“Hoping you don’t mind Jimin being over for a bit..” Rubbing the back of his neck he had a light flush about his cheeks. Honestly Hoseok could never be mad at Jungkook especially when he saw how smitten the younger boy was.

“Nah it’s cool, you two look cute~” Hosek smiled moving to pinch Jungkook’s cheeks. “Aaah!” The boy swatted at the elder his blush only growing darker. “We uh got take out and I got some for you too, chicken your favorite. You looked a little out of it today so I figured you could use a pick me up.” Speaking earnestly as he grabbed a water from the fridge.

Hoseok swore if there hadn’t been company he might have just broken down in tears of joy at the boy’s thoughtfulness. “Aaawwee~ Kookie you’re too sweet to me!” Hoseok pulling the boy into a suffocating hug.

“Yeah yeah!” Jungkook pulled away finally giving Hoseok a soft smile. “You know though if you need to talk i'm here for you..” His voice a little softer he genuinely wondered what had been eating at Hobi today but didn’t want to pester the other about it.

“Thank’s Kookie, but i'm fine now and thank’s for the chicken i'm starving to be honest.”

Digging into the chicken box he hummed in satisfaction as the comfort food hit the spot.

-

Hoseok hadn’t talked to Yoongi in nearly two days really it wasn’t intentional he was just busy at the studio, granted Yoongi was back he couldn’t be in for more than a couple hours. Unlike both their horrible schedules of being there to ungodly hours of the night. Yoongi in the past usually just passing out on the couch in Hoseok’s place being too tired to go all the way home.

They’d catch each other in the hall and just as Yoongi was about to strike up a conversation or Hoseok trying to say something in passing they would get pulled away. Jungkook being the one to take Yoongi back and forth for a while It was safer for the blonde as he didn’t own a car.

The music at full blast as Hoseok was lost again in some freelance stuff, getting really into the new material. The song being something Yoongi had made one day just to get the creativity flowing and Hoseok honestly fell in love with it. Though only the two of them ever hearing the finished product.

Just as it was getting to the hook and the best part of the dance the music was suddenly cut off. Startled Hoseok turned to where his phone had been lying he saw Yoongi standing there, Hoseok phone in hand.

His brow furrowing Hoseok was about the ask what gives when Yoongi spoke up. “Are you avoiding me Hobi?” His voice loud enough for the two of them hear, Yoongi hardly ever yelled much less spoke above a low mutter most of the time.

“What?” Completely confused Hoseok began walking over to Yoongi in just a couple strides.

“I'm not going to repeat myself.”

“Suga I haven’t been avoiding you what are you talking about?” Taking his phone from the other and pocketing it. Hoseok looked over Yoongi’s expression, his best friend being the master of poker face it was the little eye movements and the sudden mouth twitches Hoseok had studied over the years to really know what his best friend was thinking. Yoongi was clearly upset and he immediately felt his gut drop.

“We haven’t spoken in like three days or some shit plus every time i’ve tried to talk to you, you suddenly need to be somewhere else. Plus the kid has been taking me back and forth and you were the one who promised you’d be driving me. I don’t mind Jungkook’s help, but I swear if I have to hear him talk about fucking Park Jimin one more time I'm going to go apeshit. Look if something’s bother you Hoseok, I'm here to talk to. I may have had a concussion but i'm not and idiot.”

Letting Yoongi speak his mind Hoseok frown upturned into a smile and gave a hearty chuckle. “I haven’t been avoiding you Suga, honestly. I’ve just been caught up with these new pieces we have for the kids and you’re right I promised I would be taking you home after the other night. I'm also sorry for making you listen to love sick jungkookie.” Moving closer Hoseok was now rubbing Yoongi’s upper arms soothing the riled boy.

Looking off to the side there was light blush dusted across Yoongi’s cheeks. Feeling embarrassed for assuming his friend was deliberately avoiding him. “You’re sure you're fine though? I mean it Hobi if you really need someone to talk about..” The other night maybe, was hanging on the tip of Yoongi’s tongue, but he let his sentence die off instead.

Touched by his friend’s worried state Hoseok did wonder if he was needing to start a jar for every time someone asked him that.

“Ah Suga cmon you’re just tired and a little worn, everything is fine. I'm sorry though really I didn’t mean to make you worry so much. You’re still so cute with you get all fired up~” Joking he poked one of Yoongi’s now very pink cheek’s. Both knew that Suga’s soft ivory complexion did him no justice when it came to hiding his flustered state.

As a peace offering Hoseok offered Yoongi his place to sleep for the night. Yoongi knowing how tired Hoseok was he didn’t want to make him drive tonight and found the idea just fine.

Cooking something simple for the both of them as Hoseok took a quick shower, Hobi devoured the food forgetting how hungry he had been. “You need to take better care of yourself.” The blond dead panned. Hoseok laughed finding the statement too ironic considering Yoongi was just as bad.

On the couch watching some trash tv Hoseok found himself nodding off his head in Yoongi’s lap it didn’t help the way his best friend was carding his fingers through his hair. It was just a matter of time before he was out like a light. The next morning he woke up to a heavenly image of a sleeping Yoongi next to him.

Forgetting where he was for a second his head foggy with sleep he pulled the other close to his chest. Wrapping his arms around his friend’s waist Hoseok hummed contently nuzzling into the crook of Yoongi’s neck.

His heart was all too content and he was about to fall back into a lax sleep when he heard a groggy and low “What are you doing?” Eyes shooting open he immediately looked down. Yoongi’s sleepy face covered with a look of confusion.

Pulling away he nearly fell out of the bed. Yoongi now awake decided to sit up “It was fine till I felt your boner against my thigh.” He grumbled moving sluggishly out of bed. His slight frame making its way to the bathroom.

Hoseok was nearly having a panic attack sitting up and looking down at his now softening erection he felt his whole body catch fire. It wasn’t the first time he and Yoongi had shared a bed of course nor was it really the first time they had cuddled. But when you’re friend starts to feel how excited you were getting due to said cuddling. Well there had to be a boundary somewhere in their friendship.

Hopping out of bed he didn’t even remember when he moved? How did Yoongi even manage? Knowing for a fact the boy could barely lift him.  

His panic was temporarily paused when Yoongi was walking out of the bathroom still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “I want coffee..” He muttered before moving back into bed curling back up into the blanket seemingly not even the slightest effect by what had just transpired.

“Yeah sure!”

Using the coffee as a good excuse to get out of the bedroom and get some air he saw Jungkook already in the kitchen. Eating some children’s cereal and smiling like an idiot at his phone.

Raising a brow when he saw the frazzled dancer walk into view.

“Rough night or?” He joked taking another bite of his breakfast. Hoseok just grunted before pouring himself a cup of coffee. Grateful to Jungkook for already making some. Sitting there at the island of their kitchen his knee bouncing intensely not shaking the feeling from just a minute ago.

Sighing loudly Jungkook put his phone down, “Dude! I can practically hear your thoughts yelling from here what the hell is up with you this morning?”

“Nothing!” Hoseok shot back a little too quickly only causing Jungkook to want an answer even more. “Look I just this morning was a little awkward with Yoongi and i'm just a little anxious.”

“Oh? So he knows you’re like totally in love with him now?” The younger boy asked taking another bite.

Hoseok had not expected those words out of Jungkook’s mouth at all!

“What?!” He shouted quickly covering his mouth and looking in the direction of the slightly cracked bedroom door of his. Going over to peak he saw Yoongi sound asleep for once he thanked the fact his best friend loved sleep. Closing the door completely he scurried back to the island now standing right next to Jungkook. “How the hell do you know about that?” He whisper yelled.

“Okay first off dude morning breath, horrible, second it’s literally been so obvious. I’ve known since I started hanging out with you guys.” The younger said as if it was common knowledge.

Sitting back in his seat he huffed running a hand through his hair pulling at it in frustration.

“So like you didn’t tell him or?”

“No Jungkook I didn’t!” Catching himself again and lowering his voice. Groaning had he been that transparent this whole time if Jungkook knew did that mean Yoongi did too? “Okay don’t have a breakdown.” Kook sighed leaning over the counter to give Hoseok a pat on the back. “Dude i’m sorry, so if you don’t mind me asking what’s got you panties all in a bunch this morning?”

Peeking through his fingers he shook his head, “I’d uh rather not talk about it..” He sighed taking another drink of his coffee. “I do wanna ask though did you help Suga get me into bed?”

Already crunching away again with a mouth full of cereal Jungkook shook his head. “Nah I mean I tried waking you up and when we did you were so out of it you kinda just walked into your room and passed out. You looked exhausted man. Suga was gonna try and carry you at one point, but I shot that shit down. He’s just getting over his concussion last thing we need is him throwing out his back trying to carry your ass.”

Laughing Hoseok appreciated the kid looking out for Yoongi. He knew the latter could be rather intimidating, but the boy seemed none too phased half the time after so many years of being their friend. He even knew the two sometimes went out for lamb skewers it was almost like their little bonding time.

“But real talk...are you ever gonna tell Yoongi?” Jungkook asked feeling he already knew the answer.

Trying to gather his thoughts Hoseok didn’t get a chance to say anything as Yoongi was shuffling out of the bedroom. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, his whole face a little puffy and blotchy from sleep. Hoseok could never tire of seeing that adorable face in the morning.

“You got coffee for yourself, but didn’t bring me any?” Yoongi drawled sleepily. Sitting at the island next to Hoseok. “Ah sorry Suga, let me get you a cup.” He shared a knowing glance with Jungkook. The boy giving Hobi a sympathetic look, the three sat there in a comfortable silence talking about various things. The drama Jungkook had become hooked on since the ER visit, the new dance Hoseok was working on, how Yoongi was worried this new music he was working on wasn’t good enough.

After Yoongi decided it was time for him to shower and get ready to head down to the studio trying to get a head start on the day for once since he was already up. Once out of ear range hearing the bathroom door in Hoseok’s room shut the two remaining boys sat there for a second. It seemed Jungkook was still expecting an answer from earlier. “So are you?!?” He held out his hands almost like saying cmon!

“I can’t Kook, he’s got a thing for this Dr who’s been treating him.”

Scrunching his nose, “That Taehyung guy? So?! Does he know how Yoongi likes his coffee in the morning without asking? Was he the one who helped Yoongi get over his fear of opening the studio to pursue his dreams? Is he Yoongi’s best fucking friend?! Look I know the guy is hot and all Jimin’s told me the stories of how people just fawn over this guy, but any idiot could clearly see you and Yoongs are perfect together.”

Hoseok hadn’t expected Kook to feel so passionately about his and Yoongi’s relationship. It made him blush. “Thanks Kook, but I just don’t think Yoongi feels the same way.”

“How do you know? You never even tried telling him.” Getting up to place his dishes in the sink, “I know it’s probably like pants shitting scary, but you’ll never know till you get his side of all this.”

“And what if it ruins our friendship?!” Hoseok stood abruptly feeling too overwhelmed about all the possibilities. “I’ve thought about this over and over Kook, I just don’t think it’s a good idea.”

Nodding Jungkook understood Hoseok frustration on that part this information could make or break them in all honesty. “Fine but Hobi if he actually get’s with that doctor what are you gonna do? Mope around some more and vent your frustration through dance and break your fucking ankle being reckless? Don’t think I don’t see how hard you are on yourself.”

“Can we please just drop it.” Hoseok’s voice low and full of emotion he really hadn’t his morning to turn out like this.

“Fine, fine..” And so the kid did. Heading back to his room he felt Hoseok was just going to be putting himself through more shit holding it all in. Eventually Jungkook knew it was going to end up in the two of them going head to head.
