#We all know how jk feels about taemin

[mrs-monaghan]

I mean IF jK had an issue with the men but not the women he respectfully needs to get a grip unless all the bi coding Jm has been doing means absolutely nothing and he only likes men but either way they're both professionals so I honestly don't think he cares that much

JK probably didn't care.

That being said anon, JK doesn't seem to be bothered by Jimin with women. But I really don't think that means that Jimin can't be bi. Maybe Jimin is bi with a preference for men and so JK just doesn't feel threatened by women? Idk. Idk. We are just speculating here its not like we can read their minds.

If we had seen JK in person at the rehearsals or the performances maybe we'd have been able to tell. Also he only reacted to the challenge and not the choreo itself so again we didn't get to see his reaction.

That would have been so much easier. Like that one time when Jimin and the rest of the Tannies were enjoying Taemin's performance and JK kept looking at Jimin. The way he rolled his eyes so hard at the end was a dead give away about how he felt about that particular situation

JK has no poker face. But unfortunately we will never really know if there was any correlation btwn him and the LC choreo 😔

I had some real worries about Jk and JM in the military.

For JK, his (what I believe) potential adhd is going to make things difficult. The man can't stand still for two seconds. He zones out all the time. My only hope is that the ADHD super power of hyper fixation kicks in. We know the man can focus when he likes something, and if he is invested and interested in what's happening, he can focus.

For JM, I worry that his seeming frailty and gender neutral vibes would result in bullying. I've heard idols will have issues like this, and I know Taemin has experienced something similar. I don't worry about him physically, he can handle himself if it gets to that point, but it's still not ideal to have to endure that.

But honestly... Knowing they will be together eases my mind SO much. Jimin knows how to center Jungkook. And not a soul would be dumb enough to fuck with Jimin while Jungkook is nearby.

I'm feeling at peace with all of this, and I'm just going to have to get through the next 18 months with patience.

When Jungkook steps out of the bakery, snacks and beverages in his hands, he pauses for just a moment. It was easy to escape the cashier's conversation. Easy to soothe the worries she'd fallen into it.

What's not so easy is watching that stranger so close to you, sitting on the bench, laughing at whatever you're saying.

Jungkook isn't necessarily the jealous type – as long as the debate doesn't shift to damn perilla leaves or you don’t end up naked in someone else's bed, there's not all that much that will drive him up the wall.

But tonight is reserved for the two of you. Any other disturbance has no place here.

So he shakes his head, clicking his tongue, scoffs as he steps next to you slowly.

When you notice, your laughter pauses, and you look between the men before you enthusiastically introduce, "Ah, Kook! This is Taemin. Just found out he went to the same college as we did."

"Really?" Jungkook questions, squinting his eyes. "Never seen you there."

"I graduated years ago," Taemin says with a tender smile; sweet enough to melt angels' hearts.

"Ah. How old are you?"

"Twenty-nine. Why?"

"Just asking."

"Uhm, in any case," you say, getting on your feet. You don't think Taemin's anyhow harmful; but the animosity between them is palpable. Or at least from Jungkook's side. "This is my boyfriend Jungkook."

You laugh nervously, and then add, "Was nice to meet you. We'll be going then."

"It was nice talking to you, too," Taemin says softly, unbothered as hell; the opposite of Jungkook whose irritation swims to the forefront of his eyes.

Only when you've left his periphery and you've linked your arm with Jungkook, do you realise just how much the picture of Taemin and you annoyed him.

Stoic silence accompanies you for half a mile, no matter how many times you thank him for the food, or compliment the town, or crack a horrible joke.

And then, you break.

"Are you mad at me?"

He shakes his head. "No. I'm not mad at you."

"But you're mad."

"I... no, it's fine."

"But," you start, tapping his knuckles, "your fists are pretty firm. And your jaw is clenched."

"I'm fine, angel."

“I don’t care about Taemin, by the way.”

“Okay. He’s too old for you anyway,” he suddenly says.

“Huh?”

“Nothing.”

You argue, “You said you’re fine.” 

“Yeah. I’m honestly okay.”

"Or jealous." He grants you one ominous glance, and you widen your eyes, immediately defending, "I'm just saying. You don't have a reason to be jelly, though."

"Why's that?"

"Because," you start, halting your steps. You look into his eyes, and smile with a slightly tilted head. "I'm yours. I told you and... I meant it."

You're not sure where your courage is coming from. Day and night, you question his feelings, constantly wondering what he might be thinking of you. Or how often you occupy his mind at all.

That you're soothing his worries now, vowing your undying loyalty to him is a bigger step than you realise.

But it does the trick. The crease between his eyebrows relaxes. He blinks at you.

"It's not... you're not who I'm mad at," he admits, "that was true. I'm more pissed at myself for overthinking, you know? Now I know how you felt when we spoke about Nara... The ache in your eyes, I could see it."

You're taken aback – not quite expecting for him to mention that day. Or Nara. Or to feel anyhow similarly to how you hurt back then.

But you don't understand.

"But it was just a guy from college," you assure.

"That's not the problem, really... I just. Do you–" He licks his lips, chuckling about his own idiocy. "Do you ever talk to other men and think how easy life could be with them? Like Seokjin. Do you ever feel like it would've been easier with him?"

"What's it?"

"Just. Life. Love. Your future."

Crazy.

To hear him voice his worries like that.

He's right... it feels like the conversation weeks ago. Back then, you wondered whether a childhood friend like Nara could've been the easier choice. How you could compete against her.

"No," you tell him firmly, placing a hand under his ear, "do you? Like, ever regret being with me like that."

"No." His answer comes just as fast – but he still looks conflicted. "Never. But it scares me to see you laughing with someone else. Not because I doubt where your heart lies, but... 'cause I want to feel right for you."

Your heart pounds in your chest. He's never talked about whatever lingers between you so blatantly. It feels like a breakthrough moment.

"Is that why we're both here? You want to feel like you're right for me. Or... want to confirm that you're enough to make me happy."

"I..." He waits. Looks at you so softly, it hurts. "It's not just that. Tonight belongs to us. Tonight wasn't supposed to be about Taemin, or any other man I deem a better fit for you."

"It still belongs to us," you tell him, moving closer. "Taemin, or Nara... none of them matter, Jungkook."

He doesn't speak.

You look down to his hand, tangling your fingers.

Move your eyes back to him slowly, eyebrows raised in question. He opens his mouth, nervous and blinking. When he doesn’t speak, you ask, “Jungkook?”

“I need to tell you something.”

– and you know the rest... 💕

Ehh I think it's not nothing. The thing is them enlisting together doesn't mean they're secret lovers like jkkrs think lmao but tbh I did spend last year putting their friendship in the same category as vmin - someone you grew up with but don't hang out with much outside of work. However considering how joint enlistment meant their base options were more limited and I've actually never heard about it before in kpop, I've just begrudging accepted that they're better friends than I thought. Doesn't make me like JK or think his recent songs aren't rubbish because just because Jimin likes him doesn't mean I have to. And also there's no need to go to the other extreme and overhype their friendship either - JK will still be an ass to Jimin by acting weird about him at times but its Jimins business to still be close to him.

Anyway jimins friendships will always be a bit mysterious to me because its so hard to get a glimpse of it unless the other person mentions it. I didn't even think he was close to Taemin anymore but apparently he is according to suchwita. Or how it feels like him and RM never seem to meet up but they're literally neighbours. I just try to not get overinvested either way and form my opinions on all of them outside of their relationship with Jimin.

I'm sorry subscribing to that train of thought would mean believing jimins friendship with him is somehow different from the one they both have with the others or that the others have with each other, it would also mean believing that they're so so close that they could not bear to be separated for 18 months which would be ironic considering it appears that they aren't even doing the same thing.

Knowing hybe there's a logical reason behind them enlisting together and they most likely decided to after weighing their options, you can't convince me the reasons had anything to do with sentimentality or them being secret 'besties".

And it has nothing to do with my feelings about JK, I would think the same if it was anyone else. I've seen people give their opinion on what the reason could be and that's because we've been here the past few years.

Thinking their friendship is more than they present to us on camera is bullshit because what's the point of all that if they're just friends? Unless like shippers we're starting to believe the "not for the cameras" thing.

We all knew when jikook were the closest because they never hid it but now their friendship took a back seat because they suddenly decided to hide the fact that they hung out or are close? Especially when they've both admitted to not seeing each other for long periods of time, and appear to not even know what the other has going on? They went from being spotted together all the time to not at all instead taekook are the ones being seen out because Jimin and jk decided their friendship is no more for the public eye? That's just shipper logic, I'm sorry but I'm not buying that.

If we all decide to accept everything we're being told because "maybe there's more to it that we don't know" then every complaint or critique we've ever had of BTS and hybe has been rendered null because "we simply don't know, and there could be more to it than we see".

Maybe we simply don't know and Jimin never faced any sabotage because he re-signed with hybe. Maybe we simply don't know and BTS are happy with hybe and in support of them because yes, our feelings for the company was never because BTS told us they were awful, we've had yoongi say the opposite actually but we're still here talking about "poor BTS, hybe doesn't deserve them" because us "simply not knowing" what's beyond the surface could go multiple ways. You could think "we don't actually know and they could be closer than they appear so they enlisted together because they're oh so close and could not bear to be separated for 18 months" and I having my own free will could also decide to think "we actually don't know and there could be some other reasons for their enlistment decision that had nothing to do with how close they are".

Let me also add that I really do not care about those reasons, I only ever talk or think about the enlistment buddy program when I get asks about it or see jikookers make their 1000th analytical post about it.

[peachjagiya]

“But you don't have to look too far to find tweets suggesting they're doing it together because they're in love, because they can't be apart, because they love snuggling, because they'll get to feed each other???? "

This isn’t me defending anyone but isn’t this what all shippers do? Can you honestly say that you wouldn’t have felt this same way if taekook enlisted together? I mean you all come up with theories about why the members do what they do don’t you? To some taekookers, Jk and Tae wearing the same shirt on the same day was the single most decisive proof that they are real. Tae says Jk sings him a song and to some of you that is proof that they are in love because “Jk always serenades his Taehyungie” with love songs (even though Tae literally never said that) so don’t you find that it is abit hypocritical to come for your rival shippers because of their theories when you have yours which some people might find silly too? I doubt that taekookers wouldn’t have done the exact same thing jikookers are doing now if it was taekook who enlisted together instead of Jikook especially because i remember taekookers waiting anxiously for taekook to enlist together all these years and on the day BH announced that vminkookjoon would be enlisting, taekookers on twitter trended taekook and got hit tweets saying that taekook kept their promise to enlist together. We didn’t even know when they would enlist and tkkrs completely ignored the fact that two other members, Joon and Jimin were enlisting at the same time too but they made it all about taekook and how they made sure to keep their promise to each other to enlist together. So do you honestly think y’all wouldn’t have acted the exact same way and said the exact same things if the pair that enlisted together was the pair that you ship?

I don't think you realise how troubling I find the whole MS thing.

I'm not going to get into whether or not mandatory military service is right or wrong. I'm Western, I'm British, I think we get our voices all over other countries a bit too often and sometimes we should just defer to more knowledgeable sources.

What I can and will speak on is the deep discomfort I feel as a queer woman about the widely reported homophobia of ROKA. Our straight allies felt it too. Go read about Taemin's experience. It's scary! It's taken me until now even to not feel physically tense seeing any of them in uniform.

I find the implication that they're having a cute gay time as a secret couple making eyes at each other to be really tasteless and worse still, ignorant to the mental impact institutional homophobia can have on queer or even just non-conforming people.

My disgust and bone-deep discomfort with homophobia is not negotiable depending on which ship it is. So no, actually, I can say hand on heart, completely truthful, your assumption is wrong. I wouldn't have been the same about TKK. I'd have been glad they had each other, as I am with JK and JM, and that's where it would end.

#my asks #bts military discussion

[dearweirdme]

Hi I’ve just become an army last year and a tkkr about half a year ago.

I wouldn’t want to argue on something if I actually believe it so strongly so jikookers(??) don’t really bother me. And if someone asks about the so obvious pillars..? GCF japan trip and now enlistment

I want to talk about enlistment because I feel you’ve explained enough about the other 2 on your blog.

Enlistment for Jungkook seemed like something he wanted to just be done with. It still seems that way and the reason for that is that if he had truly adjusted to the lifestyle there he would still be in contact with us. Rn it’s like radio silence between army and jk. And that just resonates to me with the fact that he may not be at ease completely. Why did jk enlistment with Jm and not others

Well maybe because Jimin was afraid of joining the services after what happened to taemin, could also be that since jm has suffered near clinical depression earlier and jk was the one who was the “listener” during that period if time it made more sense.

Why was it jk with jm and not v with jm? That’s because v was actually in someway excited for his service. He wanted to experience ms. He knew for a long time he wanted to join sdt. He looked forward to it. Those 7 guys are brothers before anything else, they would never do anything hinder the choices for another so v was out of picture for a partner.

Hi anon!

With the last 4 of the members enlisting in essentially one go, I’m fairly sure that time was of the essence here. Namjoon for instance seemed hardly done with his last project, so I feel if enlistment could have been postponed it would have. Since it was not, I think it was decided (amongst themselves or with BH as well) that they had to go when they went.. making them return in time for a reunion in 2025. Because of that, I also feel that Jm and Jk enlisting together was for a great part because of that (as I understood it, this was a way to ensure an early date rather than to wait for the army to send for them). Them being together is a lucky side effect of that. Jk and Jm both have tattoos, which limited their options. Tae did have more options, and he seems to have had a plan for himself (probably inspired by his friend).

People all deal with tough situations in their own way. I think Tae tries to make the best of it (though I also think he might’ve been putting on a braver face to not front of army) and he made this an opportunity for himself instead of something that stands in his way. I think we have no clue about how Jk is doing and feeling right now, simply because we don’t hear from him. He might’ve settled in and be actually enjoying parts of it for all we know.

I think Jk was never going to show us this part of his live. Even though he has been with us many many times… his music and his career have always been the things he wanted to share with us most… and perhaps his cooking skills. I don’t feel he wants us to know too much about his life aside from his music career. So him not showing his time in the military doesn’t really surprise me much. From the way Jm lets us know how he is doing, I think it is clear that we are not to expect much from Jk for the upcoming time 😢. As much as I personally miss seeing him, I also respect him a lot for having such boundaries.

[ask-serendipity-sky]

Hello! I hope this ask comes across ok because I’m experiencing some super bad burnout right now and am trying to make sure this doesn’t come across weird, but do you feel like the whole para social relationship between BTS and ARMY has gotten out of hand lately?

I am seeing all these tweets and comments lately about that just seem over the top with people saying JK (just an example because he’s the most active right now with lives and stuff) is their best friend and how they are so glad that they trust us or just a lot of thirst tweets in reaction to him going live shirtless and things that don’t seem based in reality.

I guess it never really bothered me before because I never bought into the fandom in the same way, but I’m curious if it’s just me feeling this way because of where I’m at mentally or if others agree. It seems pretty obvious to me that a lot of the decisions to come live or interact with fans are at least partially driven by business interests (even if they do genuinely care about their fans) and people don’t seem to realize that.

I dunno if this even makes any sense but love your posts and hope you have a good day!

Hi anon,

I think it's been even more obvious these past few days.

I watch lives from Taemin from Shinee and the comments there are nothing like the comments army leave here. This fandom doesn't have limits anymore. I wanted to ask Taemin a question but he will actually call out fans so I stayed with my question instead, just in case. And it was nothing invasive! I just wanted to know about his dance challenges -_-

And I hate to say it but the parasocial relationship has crossed the beneficial side because the members have encouraged it. I'm sure they are appreciative of their fans, but keeping fans happy is business 101.

Like back when army was bullying James Corden, Namjoon called out Corden instead of addressing army and bullying. James Corden had to apologize for making a joke. The joke wasn't even an insult. I certainly didn't take it as one. All that was needed to calm that down was Namjoon making one tweet that said "ARMY, it's a joke. Corden is a friend." And all would have been well.

The fans are not just fans anymore but they've become this police entity/romantic partner/bff for life to BTS and they legit think they have ownership over BTS and the things the guys do. "No one knows BTS better than army. No one deserves BTS more than army."

Jk made a song about sex and now they think they have the right to ask him about his dick. He talks to them and answers questions and they ask him if he lives with Tae. It got so bad he told them to not send sensitive questions because he wouldn't answer them. One fan followed him down a street and waited for him outside the barbershop. So he had to backtrack and say it's best they don't come looking for him. Jk in the live at Inkigayo showed slight annoyance because it is simply just too much. And it has to be slightly annoyance because anything else is not permitted.

Perhaps we wouldn't have gotten to this point if army had been taught respect and limits. Jin had a good approach and the rest of the guys should have followed it. I don't think it's too late to fix.

Jimin actually called out a question in the live where he talked about On the Street and his approach to fans has changed entirely. And lately, Jk has been more vocal about army. Tae and Namjoon have talked about armys comments as well.

Maybe BTS is reaching the tipping point too? But then they backtrack with their words and actions. They should just rip the band-aid off.

Maybe after ms, BTS will be able to address the fandom as actual adults and set limits for their own well being too?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

#skyasks #have a nice day too anon! #thank you for loving my posts

[kimseokjinn]

hi. genuinely how do you deal with this fandom? i am reaching burnt out levels of exhaustion dealing with its whining, witch hunting underdog complex. i get things have been rough but some of them really act out like children. worse, like headless chicken who can't be trusted in society. the level of pettiness infantilization and almost cult like behavior that some parts of it are exhibiting is honestly worrying. and that's without mentioning the feeling of entitlement to the members private moments. i just. so goddamn tired of it all. i have tired but i dont think i can keep interact with it as closely as I've been doing

and i cant speak for them, but I fear the members are also getting sick of it

I simply curate my fandom experience that benefits my level of well-being.

In the beginning, I will admit that I engaged in ridiculous fandom arguments over the idea that Jungkook was essentially carrying BTS on his back. This was back when people loved to make comments about wanting to see Jin enlisting and not being a part of the band because he was a "terrible singer and dancer". Or, that Joon was ugly. After a few months, I decided to step back and realize that these fandom wars were doing nothing but ruining my enjoyment of being an Army.

I decided to limit my time on Twitter because that was a continuous cesspool of nasty armchairs that had no problem putting a lil 7 in their display names while bashing any member that wasn't their bias. Twitter was also being overrun by the deluded shippers who thought that taekook or jikook were in this ill-fated secret relationship. I had to step back and stop before I ended up leaving the fandom altogether

(I will admit that when taemins album was dropping, I went and argued with people who were losing their shit over a song name and album cover💀😅. )

I decided that Tumblr was going to be the only platform where I interacted with the fandom, and while I have been out of the loop, I've still maintained the same love and enjoyment I had when I first joined the fandom.

I don't know what it's been like on other platforms in terms of the things you listed, but I can only imagine it's escalated in the 7 years I've been in this fandom. So many new and ignorant people enter the fandom to incite problems, so it's better to block and move on.

Frankly, it wouldn't be that much of an assumption to assume that they are annoyed with. I mean, it's been 10 years of nonsense. How many times has Jungkook had to change his phone number? How many times has Taehyung straight up said that he doesn't like the "fans" screaming in their faces at the airport? How many lives have we seen people asking Jungkook invasive questions? This man avoided the internet for a long time, and when he decides to give us multiple lives, some people act like self entitled brats and think they deserve an all-access pass into his life. The infantilization of jungkook alone probably upset him more than we know. I mean, one of their last fan signs had JK receiving baby-related things. He was in his early 20s for crying out loud. Talk about insulting.

Sorry for my novel, but I simply recommend cutting out the stressful things and focusing on maintaining your love for BTS and the fandom in a capacity that is healthy for you even if that means removing certain aspects.

#sorry this is so long but tldr decide what your comfortable with and cut out everything else #for me it's tumblr army and tumblr army only #i am blessedly out of the loop and i like it that way #i only use twitter bc i get notifs from their main channel and bts merchandise notification #i made the mistake of going through reddit army and never again #people are just as annoying and rude on reddit as they are on twitter #asks

[bisexualhobi]

This anons are so right. That’s my problem with jk, I literally don’t know who he is outside of bts. I know him very well as the youngest crazy one or golden maknae but I have no idea who jungkook as soloist is… he seems unique when he is part of bts but alone? Idk.. I feel like he has potential but he’s not as good as many armys will like him to be. For example, yes, he can sing but is he one of the best singers in kpop? - no. He’s a good dancer but not as good as hobi (or Jimin or ten or taemin and many others). He’s not good entertainer (when it comes to variety shows etc), it seems like he can’t promote his music well (just has to look how he treated his collab - two posts on insta and that’s it lol. When yoongi had collab with psy he went live and did interact with fans, talked a little about the process etc…). I think he has potential to be good performer but we don’t know if he could held 2 or 3 hour concert by himself since rn all he did was one song… objectively, jk is one of the members with the most potential (except for hobi) but imo it looks like he is so good because he doesn’t have strong competition within his own group. That’s why I have he will practice and improve…

jungkook is the main vocalist of bts just bc the bar is on the ground - he'd never be part of the dance line in a stronger group and he seems to be more into keeping an "indie artist" image than face the fact that he's a cookie cutter kidz bop boyband member.

but i think he could really go all the way as a soloist if he's managed right - not that i'm interested in anything he himself has to say artistically. he needs a mastermind to design the way he should present as a soloist otherwise he's gonna end up a bieber knock off

#asks

[aajjks]

Here with my opinions:

JK's Solo career: "Seven" is a catchy song I think it got pick as the lead single and tittle track because of the lyrics, it's an easy listen and fun song not as good as "Standing next to you" however I think it got the media and Army's talking. It's a more "explicit" side of him and that's why I think it got out (but 3D tho 👀).

Black pink: From what we know bout' YG, they just love to keep the ball rolling without thinking the consequences. It creates a breakdown for the artist to be involved in tons of controversies (even for breathing), so it's refreshing to see the girls just living their live and loving their fans without gossip surrounding them

Hot take: I know we talked bout Lesserafim not long ago however after Sakura's letter it's just comical at this point. I completely understand you have all rights to feel hurt however taking out the mean comments, the criticism is completely valid. I've been following Sakura since Produce era and the singing aspect has always been a problem, what really brushes me off is that girl this is your job, people isn't asking you and the other girls or Lesserafim to become Beyonce, we're asking you the bare minimum: Sing your own songs accordingly, please sing correctly make it sound good and enjoyable. It doesn't matter how crazy your dancing skills are, how good your performance is if you can't do the basic thing of your job which is singing. I'm baffled at the lack of self awareness they have when we have idols like THE Lee Taemin who was a very inefficient vocalist and now is one of the top idols, he put the work in vocally, same for ITZY and I can go on and on with idols who put some work in for the area they lack. It is what it is

Sorry for the long ask jeez, coming with another ask so I can go and cuddle with my 2 soulmates I miss them lots - ☀️

Honestly, i didn’t like the explicit side of him?? It didn’t even make sense but I guess every maknae and everyone of them have gone through a mature rebranding and this was his but I didn’t like it. I don’t like 3-D at all too

And honestly, I’m really surprised about BLACKPINK. I hope that they will become good performers as well specially Jennie because I know what kind of performer she has been lately.

I don’t know about her letter can someone tell me about what’s written in the letter? I think she deleted the post or whatever and I completely agree with you. I think they are really privileged and honestly people were saying that chaewon carried the performance, and it seemed like that because all of the members’s really mediocre singing that made up for her singing, but she’s an amazing dancer, but that doesn’t mean that she’s an extraordinary idol that the fans say that she is. Also her ship with jungkook?

#1 - It's been Busy Times for BTS during the last Year...Let's explore that.

Today, I began this blog to share my pride in Jimin hitting the No 1. on the Billboard top 100, competing with BTS as being the only Korean acts to do so, but this led to thoughts of Suga's pending album and tour, J-Hopes and RM's recent album releases, and the different company's the boys have recently been representing etc, AND OT7's enlistment obligations, what it's meant for them and ARMYs.

With each of the OT7 working on individual projects, it's easy to miss just how busy they've been.

The reality is, this is the frenzy before the cold spell hits ARMYs, but what a frenzy it is, and I respect thier trying to make that cold spell as short for us as possible!

It's impressive the amount of musical and visual content the BTS members have recently gifted the world since the beginning of 2022, while at the same time, helping themselves to slowly progress toward a new...singular mindset.

This is more interesting because they've not made this move because they WANT to but by necessity. I've no doubt that if they didn't need to enlist, their individual accomplishments we've recently seen would not be near as vast.

...Why?

Because BTS is comfortable being...BTS! It's their 'home' and they've never wasted an opportunity to share that belief or their love to make ARMY's proud. Understanding this important point allows us to open our minds and consider how damn hard this transition must be for them mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Before they went public announcing their hiatus, they'd have many questions to consider.

How do they keep touch with ARMYs so they don't feel BTS is leaving them behind?

How do they do what's best for BigHit/HYBE as that IS an investment for them and their contributions have been the primary income that supports the company for many years, and now a big part of that contribution will be missing. How they market that situation will be essential for their future success in the company and HYBE's bottom line.

Many things are happening in the world, how do they continue to stay grounded and in tune with those changes while they find new fuel for their music?

How do they protect their interests while they are enlisted - ensure they are not forgotten or lose momentum that they cannot regain when they return in 2025/26? and many other questions.

Meanwhile, HYBE's been working to expand their assets both locally and abroad, which is a smart move for many reasons. I'm personally disappointed things turned so negative with their intent to invest more in SM...and I understand they've decided to sell all their current SM stock.

Can you imagine what a collaboration with say - SuperM and Jimin and/or JK, or just Taemin and Jimin would look like? They’ve proven in the past that they are darn hot together...and to think - they would have then been on the same team.....!

Yea.. I'm bit disappointed about that, but I understand why HYBE didn't want to come off as the Bad Wolf when BigHit has been fighting wolves all the way to the top of their success and know it's not a nice feeling.

Also, I suspect it was tempting for BTS to enlist collectively, as they'd be able to regroup easier in 2025, but that would have meant a cold spell of more than 18 months for them AND ARMYs.

The more content they are able to bring out during that window - the more we will keep them in mind. Even if it's just from individual members. Keeping involved keeps that connection with ARMYs open.

It makes sense for the boys to separate from the group on their own terms before they enlist so they can deal with their mixed emotions before they are faced with a whole new world. (JK comes to mind here...He's not admitting it, But I think we can see he's working through a few things right now. We just need to allow him the space and support to make this journey...his way.)

I also think it was smart for Jin to enlist on his own first, allowing him to share his experience and perspective with the boys before it's their time... Each member will have a different experience of course, but still - his thoughts will be helpful to them.

So, now, the members have been fulfilling old promises to ARMYs, and completing long hanging projects, while working hard not to trip over each other's success, while still paving the road for their re-emergence in 2025/26.

Pacing those projects out is important.

Also, some might find this a strange train of thought, but this gradual progression of their enlistment will allow them to discover themselves as individuals, build on their strengths, and improve their areas of weakness at their own pace.

After thirteen years of being a team, they've leaned on one another, which was GREAT, but it's allowed them to perhaps not work as hard on areas of themselves where they could or should as someone else could carry that weight them within the team.

They also need to learn to be on someone else's team.

We can't even begin to understand how hard that must be for them. when they left their own families to be raised by a record label for thirteen years. Now they need to adapt to being part of a military family.

I suspect, if they'd had their way with no military obligations, right now they'd be happily performing as BTS and many of these personal projects they've been completing would still be sitting on shelves somewhere because their comfort zone is with each other, and they were more comfortable standing on the stage together than standing alone.

But, to an extent, wouldn't that have been a shame? Look what we've learned from this, the new sides we've seen of the boys, and all the fantastic new content they've shared with the world. My Spotify list is smothered with all their new diverse content and I'm loving how large that playlist is that focuses on their combined individual efforts.

While stepping out and shining individually has never been something they've ever expressed as a desire, I believe it will be worth it for everyone in the end as it allows them inner growth.

The uproar that went up during BTS's The Best is Yet to Come pre-release rollout when RM sadly expressed for the first time, BTS's intent to take a hiatus still makes me pause when I consider how the foreign media blew the situation out of proportion and how that temporarily affected HYBE's/BTS's bottom line.

As inadvertent as that drama was, it proved BTS's worth more than any other incident would have. The dumb thing about it, anyone considering the big picture of their future would have easily seen the necessity of that announcement without question. And I feel so sorry for RM having to take the brunt of the hit of that announcement.

No one would want the task of telling the news to millions of fans, but being the leader, the responsibility fell on RM's shoulders. We learned that day just how much he loves his BTS family when we saw his tears.

I think this is the only time I've seen them all so deeply somber and unsure how to deal with the situation. They knew this was going to be chaotic and were heading toward unfamiliar territory.

So many people misinterpreted their pain, not realizing it was there because this wasn't a proactive decision, but one of necessity and the beginning of the change of an era of how we've grown to appreciate BTS, and the beginning of uncertainties as they decided how best to keep things together while they sorted out how to individually move forward with the intention of coming back together in the distant future.

We may have all been in denial, but deep inside, we knew they had obligations they'd soon need to fulfill - and would.

RM's announcement shouldn't have surprised anyone and only those who clearly didn't follow BTS would believe 'hiatus' meant disbanding for them. They've always said exactly what they meant.

ARMYs should also have been able to read between the lines regarding how important their enlistment obligations were for them.

Three trips to the United Nations, and an invite to the White House clearly sends that point home. The members of BTS have always proven to be individuals who stand up for what they believe, and who step up to fulfill their obligations.

They LOVE their country and represent it with pride.

in spite of their government having mixed feelings whether they should keep BTS out of the military to continue to create huge revenue for the country or allow them to serve, they've consistently stated their intent to fulfill their military obligations. So, the whole drama had to be exceptionally painful for the boys.

Particularly since they received both support and criticism from either end of the spectrum and were reluctantly made an example of not only because of their country's indecisiveness, but also were put under the microscope of the world as their country instigated a major decision which appeared to be just for them.

Something perhaps, they'd not want to be remembered for by other Koreans, their fan base, or for themselves to look back on in their older years, but here too they were without choice, as they made history when the ...BTS Act (not the exact wording on that) was created just to delay their enlistment by two years and gain more revenue for the country before they enlisted.

It's no wonder after more than a year from when the controversy started, BTS became silently impatient until they stopped waiting for their government to decide what it wanted, and just began the process of enlisting.

Now they've officially set the wheels in motion, they've some big challenges to address and goals to complete...

I'm interested to see what the following months will reveal of our Bangtan boys before they all fade temporarily into the shadows.

All of that being said, I've decided to make some individual posts focusing on each of the members, discussing what they've been up thus far, since the beginning of 2022.

Originally, I'd considered this post to be just one blog with some brief points for each of them with a few pics of their recent accomplishments, but it soon became apparent, I had a hell of a lot more on my mind than I thought, and one blog wasn't going to satisfy me, so I hope you check those posts out as you see them!

Feel free to disagree with my opinions if you like, but if you respond...please be nice about it.

Thanks!

[sirensunrise]

I want a spectrum of punk!rock to alt!pop kpop bfs. Like yuta and jk on the punk side, jaebum kinda in the middle but more punk I feel, hongjoong on that alt slam poetry end of things, right next to ten. The artisté type vs horny boys who would have had a groupie era in a different world.

babygirl, you are my favorite person in the whole world rn, this is so fun. ask and you shall receive.

To start this off, I accidentally avoided the original request and started to assign the idols which genre of music they would produce in this alt universe and like the vibe of their bands so if you want that, let me know.

To start on the slutty, sex having mfs we have:

Nakamoto Yuta. Lee Taemin. Jeon Jungkook.

These boys get bras thrown onstage and it fuels them. (ahem, Taemin in South America) The type to hang them on their mic stand. (Yuta and Jk moreso than Taem) Now I think Yuta and Jk would be more interested in having sex with their fans than Taem. Taem is the type to want to be wanted more than actually following through and fucking fans. Doesn't mean he doesn't have an insane following of people who want to fuck him though. He would have someone in each city that he could go to if he needed someone, maybe adding a groupie to the mix every now and then. But certainly overtly sexual in his interactions with fans. Moreso onstage than off. When he's in the Zone onstage, he is so fucking hornie with his fans. Little less overt when he's offstage but still cocky.

Yuta and Jk are fucking fans every goddamn night. Yuta is the type to make eyes on them onstage and then pick them up at the bar after the show. Jk is the type to have a security member go up to the fan and ask them to stay later. I think Jk is more likely to have a slightly shorter phase, probably has a fan stay on the bus while they go to the next show, slightly more personal. Probably the type to stay the night, if he can. He's cocky and it fuels his ego immensely, but I think he's a softie at heart and this is simply a part of his life for a period of time. Part of it is probably in a weird sense of competition too. I said softie and everything but that's like. later years for him. First few years of getting popular has him getting his dick wet constantly.

Yuta is in it to win it though. He knows his groupies, probably got bored of a lot of them, likes the ones that adore him and the ones that don't care. He is as likely to pick someone that throws themselves at him as he is to pick someone who doesn't know him or plays hard to get. He isn't just in it for the sex, he likes the chase. He likes proving just how irresistible he is. Very likely abandons ppl in the hotels after the fact. Once he gets his nut, he's on to the next. Not like a total asshole though. Probably leaves like water and painkillers, maybe pays for their breakfast at the hotel. Something simple but like very clear that this is not something that's personal. Far more transactional.

All of them care about the music, and that is a part of why they are in bands, but the sexual aspect was also a large factor in them pursuing this career.

JB

Only fucks a fan a couple times on a tour. Probably pretty impersonal, but like not mean. More likely to fuck a random person than a fan. More flirty than sexual with fans and even then that's mostly reserved for onstage. Man is good with boundaries, likes to be desired and is sexually active but doesn't want to foster insane behaviour so he sticks to mostly non-fans. Doesn't like to use his fame to get him laid. But fuck is he like lowkey pervy, like wtf was he doing with the artistic porn stuck up on his wall. That's why he's higher on this list. Would be a little more known for sex in the public eye.

Honorable mention: Changkyun. I thought of him halfway through and I cannot decide where I'd put him in the lineup. He is a slut for sure but I can't really pin him down as to what he'd like right at this moment. His motivations are fuzzy to me. He sets boundaries like JB, doesn't wanna foster crazy stalker shit. but idk how it would translate to groupies or interactions with fans. He's around here though.

Jonghyun and Ten

These two are more willing to fuck a fan but probably have sex less often than JB. Serious performers who's career comes first, especially on tour. Doesn't mean they don't like to party though. They're both socialites and kinky mfs. Less likely to fuck someone on tour than they are at a party/club. Which does lessen the amount of fans they are consistently fucking, but like all a fan has to do is show up to a club they frequent (jjong more than ten) when they aren't on tour and be hot and they'll probably have a good chance for at least a quickie in the VIP section. Simply due to circumstance/habits, Jonghyun fucks more fans than Ten. Ten is more exclusive. Doesn't mean he ain't down though.

Yeonjun and Beomgyu

Now, you may be thinking. Wtf, these guys don't count? however, I raise you this. They're both cocky as fuck. And, they do both like alt music. Initially I was only gonna have gyu, bc I know he is into a more rock sound and he has alt vibes and brat vibes, but he's still blossoming into who he is and Yeonjun is just so fucking cocky and such a bastard and so talented and idk. this made sense to me. They are both more shy/less interested in the sexual aspects. They like to tease and to be wanted but won't act on it. Don't really do random hookups. They are music first, sex second, just like Ten and Jjong, but they just have lower sex drives. Less of a need to go about fuckin.

Hongjoong and Taeyong.

Now these two are the types to have muses. Everything they do relates to their art, even sex. The muses are any gender and may not even be sexual. Someone that they have a strong connection to that inspires them. Very loyal. More reserved, not very flirty with fans. They don't make a habit of flirting with people constantly. They don't have to flirt. They are passionate and alluring on their own. Sex is something far more personal to them, more emotional, even if it's not vanilla (it's probably not). Their art may be sexy, whether that's music or physical art or dance, but that doesn't mean that they are constantly thinking about sex. They're also less social. Probably don't go to parties that often and certainly not clubs. Go to gatherings more than parties. Not recluses though, they're engaging and fun to talk to, will hang out with the other bands on tour.

[whysojiminimnida]

why do u think jungkook doesn't like, or at least have a problem with taemin? i want to know your opinion... btw, i love your blog, u are so funny and smart <3

Hi anon,

Jungkook is unthrilled, June 2018 I don't know how Jungkook feels about Lee Taemin NOW. But he did not seem happy to see Taemin as early as 2016 and at least as late as 2018. Now, Jimin and Taemin are friends. They hang out with the same "squad", or friend group, which also includes Ha Sungwoon (who Jungkook seems to like just fine). But Taemin is a '93 liner to Jungkook's '97. SHINee is also an older group, Jimin likely looked up to Taemin as a dancer quite a lot. I mean, Jimin's amazing - but Taemin is no slouch in the dance department. I MEAN LOOK:

And given that Jimin and Jungkook were a thing by then, but still a pretty new thing (less than a year, probably), Jungkook might have felt pretty weird about it all. Jealous? Probably, given that Taemin is pretty clearly not straight and was older, arguably as famous if not more so at that time, as good a dancer, certainly seemed to find Jimin very attractive.... I think 2016 Jungkook was jealous, end of story. @kanmom51 actually covered this topic in detail over here, and it is definitely worth the read. Everything she says about Jungkook's reaction to Taemin and 2Min is on point, in my view. I could go into all kinds of theories and stuff and none of it would be this good, so give her post on this topic a read and see what you think:

I'm with her on this one. By 2018 Jimin and Jungkook were solid, but Jungkook also holds a grudge pretty well. If he decides he doesn't like you, that's unlikely to change until you give him a reason to change his mind. And I don't think Taemin is the kind of guy to go hold hands and make up with his friends' boyfriend just to smooth things over. So Jungkook was a little bit jealous - not toxic jealous, just "I don't like the way he looks at my man" jealous. And maybe "I don't like the way my man looks at him either". Jungkook himself has said he is very possessive. I think this just shows, a little bit, that he's not wrong about that. :)

BUT. Here's another angle that I think might be why Jungkook doesn't seem to like Taemin very much:

(Yeah yeah we hate Koreaboo but it's actually the clearest shot of this moment I could find so I had to suck it. Sorry.)

Dramatics? Playing around? Probably yes. Exhaustion and not eating? Also probably yes.

As the hyung, the elder, Taemin *should have* been taking good care of Jimin during the time they were working together. That did not, apparently, happen. Jimin overworked himself, lost a fair amount of weight (more than he was already losing at that time) and was generally not at his best by the time that collab was done. And I think Jungkook may have held Taemin and his very thin frame and possible unhealthy eating patterns partly responsible for that. Jimin did finish the KBS show and performed with BTS later on, but coming offstage, there was some question as to whether Jimin was just being a goofball/drama queen or whether he actually collapsed. I kinda think it may be a bit of both and it was played off as "oh I'm fine" when he actually was anything but.

Jungkook looks unthrilled in 2016, too And it seems petty especially since Taehyung also vapes but Taemin's been a smoker for, like, ever. And Jungkook is conscious of his vocal cords - and Jimin's. Pics like this from a Padding Squad pool-shooting night in 2017 probably did not help Jungkook like Taemin better:

No shade to Taemin, I love him, and Jimin is responsible for taking care of his own body. But you know how boyfriends can get if you're hanging out with someone they don't think is great for you. That's it, that's the vibe, and that's all I'm sayin'.

JM JK timeline.- my observations how they grew over the years - 2018

Disclaimer: these are my own opinions and conclusions.  Feel free to disagree, but hate or aggression will be unacceptable.

As per previous years, this one is pretty long, so it will be posted in several parts.

2018 - Part 4

So, part 4.  It’s a little short.  I have been working on this for hours and Tumblr was going crazy, part 4 presumably being too long, not allowing me to add media, or adding it and then when I was trying to save it disappeared.  I finally gave up and split this into two parts.  So part 4 now, and part 5 to come soon.  All this and we haven’t reached Bon Voyage yet.

Enjoy.

1 June 2018 interview in Music Bank - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMqj5J6h-Os .

Once again we get to see just how much JK is not a fan of Taemin, or JM’s interactions with him per say.

JK who is usually super attentive to JM, making an effort to face him when he speaks, not only that he doesn’t do that during this interview, he averts his head, much like he did during 4 July 2015 fan meet with RM & JM.  Only here it doesn’t feel as angry as it was in the 2015 incident. It’s more like an uneasiness and a choice not to look, not to see.  At some point he turns to look at JM when he talks, but then JM turns to Taemin with a finger heart, JK immediately looks away, unhappy look on his face.

I don’t get the same vibe as the 2015 incident, or even as the Dec 2016 one (post JM’s dance with Taemin). I think they are past that phase in the relationship.  It’s not insecurity, it’s more uneasiness.  I think JK is secure within their relationship at this stage.  He know how JM feels about him, unlike in 2015 or even 2016 when the relationship was in it’s diapers.  In 2018 the boys are secure within the relationship.  This all comes after their Tokyo trip, Serendipity & GCFT.  They both know what they feel for the other and what the other feels for them.  That still doesn’t mean there won’t be little moments of insecurity, doubt, jealously (not a possessive toxic jealousy), uneasiness.

I don’t think they were having major issues within their own relationship.  Saying that, every relationship has it’s ups and downs.  And JM & JK’s would be no different than any other couple.  There are hurdles on the way.  Many of them. Even more so when it comes to an idol same sex relationship within one band in SK.  JM & JK are two strong individuals, and learning to accept your partner, the push and pull, as I called it, the settling into the relationship. In 2018 we are mostly past that hurdle, but even then, the seas are not always calm.

We also have to remember that their relationship doesn’t exist within a vacuum.  They are members in a band, and issues within the band have an effect on them as individuals and as a couple.  In retrospect we know that 2018 was a hard year for the members, and that idea of disbandment was floating around pretty seriously.  I have no doubt that this had an effect of JK & JM. Insecurities, doubt, frustrations from with-out have a tendency to always seep with-in.  I am sure that having each other was a great help mentally for both of them in getting through those hard times, but I also have no doubt that it could/would have taken some kind of toll on the relationship.  We know that whatever happened, whatever the difficulties were, they came out even stronger and more secure within their relationship.

2 June 2018 Soundwave fan sign. –  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyz6KpBXM8I  ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX-C3iVX-PA .

Question: What hour (=si) is it (what the time)?  

JK: It’s Jimin-ssi

RM: It’s Jimin-ssi

JH: It’s Jimin-ssi now

JK: Jimin-ssi

JM: Why would you say Jimin-ssi all the time?

Question: What does Jungkook find cute in every member?

JK about JM: his eye smile…

JM: “Something really funny about Taeyoung is that JK works out a lot and he often works out shirtless in the practice room.  Then V always goes next to him and be like ‘ugh’” – was this really a story about V or was JM trying to tell us about JK’s shirtless workouts?

Question:  The preferred way to relieve stress?

JK: I have to turn on the computer first.

JM: I slept late yesterday because I was playing games with Jungkookie.

Yeah, that wasn’t the question JM…

3 Jun 2018 Hongdae fan sign -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFO2tI25jD8 .

JM starts out here…

And ends up here…

Jikookers like to talk about ‘satellite Jeon’, but it’s not a trait exclusive to him when it comes to those two.

When we talk about the way JM looks at JK, this is it…

3 June 2018 BTS So Happy Challenge with Brent Rivera – Radio Disney Music Awards - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq5ESvmKagc .

Try not to smile challenge. JM & JK making V laugh.  And of course, when it’s time for JM, all JK has to do is say “Jimin-ssi” to get JM to fold over laughing.

Sidebar here.   Going through footage of BTS going places, have you noticed that when BTS are going places, since 2017-18 JM is the only one not carrying a bag while all other members have their bags? Is it because JK has JM’s stuff in his bag?  Just putting it out there…

8 June 2018 (release date) Sweet party in Harajuku – https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7k7e0j .

Shameless Jimin comes to light in this one.  

The members pick a card with a question to answer.  JK’s card is “please say what you like about Jimin-san”.  JK has to repeat the question several times before answering. The smile on JM’s face.  

At this point JM is leaning in towards JK, J-hope taps him on the shoulder and pulls him back towards him, reigning him in.  

JKs answer is “shameless”. He is turning away from JM when saying that.

JM, btw, leans in closer to JK again, he just cannot help it.

The reaction from JM, the way he draws closer towards JK, brushing his lips, asks: “I’m shameless?”

RM asks: “how is he shameless”, and JM says: “I’m totally not shameless”, all while doing his thing.  

That brings JK to point at JM and say: “that part is shameless”. He also adds: “these days he’s quite shameless”.  

JM, shameless as he is, adds more wood to the already burning fire, and has to ask JK “that’s why recently you like me even more?”

Poor JK is speechless now.  

So Hobi to the rescue, asks “is that all?” and then JK answers, while still not breaking eye contact with JM, “he takes good care of me”.  

But then he’s in a bit of trouble, because the other members don’t let go, which is quite strange, because you would think they would let it at that, but RM asks: “all of a sudden?”  and V pipes up and asks: “Then is there someone who doesn’t take good care of you?”

JK is beside himself at this point, and I think JM is too, you can see the “get me out of here now” on their faces, both looking down and not at the other members.  

JK looks at the members to his right (not his left where JM & JH are), and says : “there’s no one”.  Then he looks into the camera and says: “the members all towards me…ahhh”.  

Poor JK is beside himself, and the members are really amused at this point.  JH asks: “what’s ahhh?”  All JK says at this point is: “ahh Jungkook-ah”.  Everyone laughs and RM lets him off the hook and moves on.

Just Jikook being cute.

JH is asked to name a favourite present they received from other members.  Yet again we learn that JK didn’t give presents, unless they are for Jimin, that means. JK promises that this year he’ll give presents to all the members…  

Hobi does come to JK’s rescue, again, and tells how he buys stuff and doesn’t use it, so he gives it to the other members. Sweetheart Hobi.  

V doesn’t have it though, and says something like “he doesn’t buy it for himself to give it away”…

Towards the end is when we learn about the lengthy message Suga sent both V and JK, while writing at the end “I love you”.  V sharing how he cried for 10 minutes after getting this email.  RM said that JK should have filmed him, and JM piped up and said: “maybe he was besides Taeyoung crying too after he got an email from Suga too?”  and JK admits he received one too.

We all know 2018 was a hard year for BTS, and that there were thoughts of disbanding.  Did this message from Suga have something to do with this?  Why only for JK and V?    V’s remarks towards JK or his behaviour could be construed as kind of snarky, in a way. Was there something going on between those two?

Morning brings with it bright sunshine and fresh horror as the events of the previous evening come rushing back. You aren’t sure you’ll ever be able to look Jeon Jungkook in the eye again—or at least, not without being reminded of the way he’d plagued every single one of your dreams with devilish eyes and even more devilish fingers. Groaning, you scrub at your temples, as if that will help dispel the memories. After a few fruitless moments, you crawl out of bed and head for the bathroom, intent on washing everything away with a good, cold shower.

Try as you might, though, you simply cannot avoid your dark-haired neighbor. You’re in the kitchen sipping at your second coffee of the day and debating what you want for lunch when there’s a knock on the front door—a familiar rhythm that has your heart stuttering. “It’s open!” Jimin yells from the living room, and a moment later, the devil himself strolls in, wearing a plain black t-shirt with ripped jeans and well-worn Timberlands. Vaguely, you wonder when he made the switch from white tees to black, but your musings are cut short when he spots you in the kitchen, an impish grin settling across his face.

“Hey, Noona.”

“Hey.” You thank whatever god may be out there that your voice is steady. “Jimin’s in the living room.”

Jungkook tilts his head coyly and takes a step forward. “What makes you think I’m here for Jimin? Maybe I came to see you.”

Anxiously, you swallow down the memories of his warm hands that are trying to resurface. “I highly doubt that.”

“Really?” Jungkook takes another step forward and plucks the coffee mug from your hands. “What if I came over to finish what I started last night?”

Heat floods across your face. “That—that was… I mean, I don’t—”

“You don’t what?” Jungkook asks, raising a brow. “Want me? Because I’m pretty sure that’s a lie, Noona.” Quietly, he closes the last bit of distance between you, and when he speaks again you can feel his warm breath fanning across your cheeks with every word. “You see, I think you want me. Just as much as I want you. Am I wrong?”

“Jungkook, we—”

“Dude, what’s taking you so long?” Jimin’s head suddenly pops around the doorway, and you nearly jump out of your skin in your effort to put some distance between you and your dark-haired neighbor. “I’m about to start the game without you.”

“Just wanted to grab some coffee and say hi to {Name},” Jungkook replies, raising your half-empty mug to his lips and taking a sip. “Did you want to join us, Noona? It’d be fun to watch you kick Jimin’s ass at Mario Kart again.”

You swallow, hard. “I can’t. I’ve got homework to do.” Not strictly true, perhaps, but you’d been planning on looking over the details of your internship again at some point, and now seems as good a time as any. “Sorry,” you add quickly, seeing Jungkook’s disbelieving expression.

“Summer homework? Gross.” Jimin pulls a face. “You’re still coming to Tae’s party though, right?”

You nod, unwillingly catching Jungkook’s eye again. He’s still sipping at your coffee, and you don’t miss the flagrant wink he shoots you over the rim of the cup. “See you later then, Noona,” he says, his voice practically a purr.

“Right,” you respond dully, your heart skipping a beat at the dark promise in his stare. “Later.”

Jimin and Jungkook disappear down the hall, but you remain rooted in the kitchen for a few minutes longer, listening as the music of whatever video game they’ve decided on starts playing from the living room. Heaving a sigh, you fetch a new mug from the cupboard and pour yourself some more coffee, grabbing an apple and a bag of chips as well. Taking everything up to your bedroom, you pull out your laptop and make yourself comfortable on your bed, plugging in some headphones to drown out the noise from downstairs. With any luck, you won’t have to see Jungkook again until you have to leave for Taehyung’s party, and you’re pretty sure that it’ll be easy to avoid him once you’re there.

In fact, you’re certain of it.

So with that thought in mind, you settle down with your coffee and open up Netflix, sinking into the pillows and pushing your dark-haired neighbor into the deepest recesses of your mind. It isn’t until your phone starts vibrating insistently against your thigh that you are startled out of your binge-watching, the screen lit up with two new notifications. Surprised, you realize that hours have passed, the sky outside your window deepening into the hazy blue of nighttime.

[6:02pm] Jungkook: you hungry, noona?

[6:02pm] Jungkook: for pizza, i mean. we ordered dinner

[6:03pm] Jungkook: but i’ll be your dessert if you want me ;)

You drop your phone as if burned, his final message playing over and over in your mind. It takes you a full minute to gather your wits again, stowing your device in your pocket without responding and carefully picking your way downstairs. Already, you can smell the cheesy grease, your stomach growling in anticipation.

Just grab the pizza and go, you think to yourself, formulating your escape plan and double-checking it for any holes. Dine and dash.

You’re walking past the foyer when there’s suddenly a knock on the front door. Curiously, you answer it, swinging it open to see a familiar grinning face standing on the doorstep. Lee Taemin is a good friend of Jimin’s, and your brother pokes his head out from the kitchen at the sound of your greeting, clearly expecting the new guest.

“Taemin! Get in here and have some pizza,” Jimin says, his mouth full. “You too, Noona. We got plenty.”

Instead of immediately heading for the food, Taemin wraps you in a hug that has you wheezing for air. “Long time no see, huh? How’ve you been?”

You squirm in his tight embrace, raised to your tiptoes. “Put me down, you heathen. I’m fine right now, but I won’t be if you suffocate me.”

Taemin chortles good-naturedly and releases his grip, ruffling your hair. “Good to see you too, {Name}. Honestly, it hasn’t been the same around here without you. How long are you back for? The whole summer?”

You shake your head. “Just a couple weeks. I’ve got to get back for an internship.”

“Already a hotshot, huh?” Taemin grins. “What are you going to be doing?”

The topic of your summer job is a welcome distraction from the way Jungkook’s dark gaze trails after you as you tread into the kitchen alongside Taemin, slapping two slices of pizza onto a plate and glancing around for a napkin. You can feel his eyes boring into the back of your skull, prickling your skin with electricity, but continue your conversation with Taemin as if nothing is amiss.

“You gonna sit down or what?” Taemin gives you a quizzical glance as he pulls a chair out from the table, joining Jimin and Jungkook who are already seated. You do your best to ignore the way Jungkook’s jaw flexes with every chew, somehow managing to look infuriatingly handsome despite the mouth full of dough and pizza grease staining his chin.

“I—” Your mind whirs, searching for the excuse you had planned. “—I still have some work to do. Reading and whatnot.”

“Nerd,” Jimin snorts.

Taemin shrugs. “Okay, then. Suit yourself, I guess.”

Jungkook doesn’t say anything. But you feel his eyes burning into your skin as you head back upstairs, and it isn’t until you are safely back in your bedroom, sagging against the closed door, that you can finally breathe properly again.

///

You end up departing for the party nearly twenty minutes after the official start time of eight o’clock, caving to Jimin’s insistence on being fashionably late. Personally, you think he just wanted the extra time to work on his hair—making sure every strand is perfectly, effortlessly tousled—and call him out on it as he locks the front door behind you.

“I didn’t spend that long on my hair,” Jimin sniffs defensively. “Besides, you’re the one who needed to run back in and get your wallet. What do you even need your wallet for? We’re walking like, four blocks.”

“Better safe than sorry,” you retort. “What if I get murdered and they need to identify my body? What if I get mugged? You never know!”

Taemin falls into step beside you. “What if we need to tip a stripper?” he chimes in.

You nod and raise your hand for a high-five without taking your eyes off your brother. “Exactly! You have to tip your sex workers, Chim!”

Jimin waggles a suggestive eyebrow. “I think I’d rather give them a different ti—”

You push him off the sidewalk before he can finish speaking, pulling a face as he stumbles into the street in a fit of laughter. “Don’t you dare finish that sentence, you perv!”

The remainder of the short walk to Taehyung’s house passes uneventfully. Jimin doesn’t bother knocking, throwing open the door like he owns the place, and you trail after him with Taemin and Jungkook on your heels. Immediately, you’re assailed by a cacophonous sea of conversation and thumping music, people milling around in the dimly lit interior.

“There you are!” The voice comes from your left, and you barely have time to register the speaker’s face before she’s gasping and engulfing you in a hug. “{Name}, you made it! Hi!”

You laugh, squeezing her back. “Hi, Chaeyoung. It’s good to see you. Sorry I didn’t catch you at graduation.”

“Oh please,” she says, waving you off. “We have all the time in the world to catch up now. Let’s get you away from these boys and find you a drink, shall we?” Flipping a lock of strawberry blonde hair over her shoulder, she loops her arm through yours and begins steering you toward the kitchen. “So what are you in the mood for? The beer’s shit, so I’d stay away from anything in the cooler, but everything else is actually drinkable.”

“Shocking,” you remark, peering at the mess of bottles and cups lining the kitchen counter. There’s a massive bowl of a horrifyingly neon green concoction as well, and you take one whiff before backing away again, nose wrinkling in disgust. “I see Tae’s still making punch.”

“I wouldn’t touch that if I were you,” Chaeyoung advises. “He’s somehow managed to make it twice as sugary and three times more alcoholic than last year’s. Pretty sure it’s worse than moonshine at this point.”

You grin and locate an empty cup, raising it in her direction. “Thanks for the heads up.”

Chaeyoung refills her own drink, and you settle on a simple blend of cranberry juice and vodka. Together, you head back in the direction of the living room, where Jisoo and Lisa are chattering away on a couch in the corner. They look up at your arrival, greeting you with smiles and hugs, and quickly usher you into a seat beside them.

“So,” Jisoo begins, leaning forward. “How’s college?”

“Tell us everything,” Lisa adds, propping her chin in her palm. “Is it nice living away from home?”

Jisoo waggles her brows. “Forget that. Have you met any guys?”

Unbidden, Jungkook springs to the forefront of your mind, dark eyes staring at you from beneath equally dark hair as he leans down, down, down—

“Nope!” you blurt before your thoughts can progress any further. “I mean, I share a suite with a couple guys, but that doesn’t count.”

“Are they cute?” Lisa prods.

“They must be more mature than these high school boys,” Chaeyoung sighs.

“Hardly,” you snort. “Don’t get your hopes up.”

The gossip continues. More people arrive as the night wears on, the living room filling up with dancing bodies. A few girls you don’t know join in your conversation, perching on armrests and ottomans and the carpeted floor as a last resort. Across the hall in the dining room, you spot Taemin setting up a table for beer pong, a triumphant shout going up when Taehyung procures an unopened package of balls from somewhere in the hall closet.

“This is gonna be tournament style, got it?” he announces as he tears the package open. “Winner goes up against the undefeated champs—Jungkook and Yugyeom!”

Even from your comfy seat on the couch, you can see the arrogant twist of Jungkook’s mouth as he leans over to give Yugyeom a high-five. You can’t tear your eyes away from the way he tongues his cheek, lounging back into a chair to watch the first round of the game. Jimin steps forward alongside Taehyung, and you watch as your brother scrutinizes the pyramid of cups, poised to make a throw that lifts his shirt just enough to expose a flash of his admittedly toned abdomen.

“He wore that shirt on purpose,” Jisoo accuses, and you huff out a sound that’s more snort than laugh.

“Please, it’s just the only shirt he owns that isn’t dirty. Trust me.”

“I don’t even care,” another girl you don’t know the name of pipes up. “I’d still let him blow my back out.”

You grimace. “And on that note, I suddenly need another drink,” you announce, to giggles. Wrenching out of your cozy seat between Jisoo and Lisa, you wave your near empty cup in farewell and make your way toward the kitchen, carefully skirting around the dancers and beer pong spectators spilling out into the hallway.

The kitchen is deserted when you walk in, everyone having flocked to the dining room to watch the beer pong tournament. Humming along to the music, you open up the fridge and survey its contents, hoping to find something decent. Curiously, you pick your way past a few cans before turning a dark glass bottle around to read the label.

“Are you avoiding me, Noona?”

The voice comes from behind you, deep and sinfully resonant, and you don’t even have to turn around to know that he’s standing just inches away. His breath ruffles through the hair at the nape of your neck, sending gooseflesh prickling across your skin, and when strong hands curl gently around your hips you let out a breath you hadn’t realized you’d been holding.

“I missed you, y’know,” he continues, his mouth finding its way to your ear and nipping lightly at the lobe. “You didn’t talk to me all day, even though I was right there in your house. Ran like a scared little rabbit when you saw me in the kitchen, didn’t you?” Softly, his lips ghost along the column of your throat, pressing a kiss to the junction of your neck and shoulder. “So, now what? Are you gonna run from me again?”

You don’t think you could if you tried. Your feet are rooted firmly in place, your entire body frozen as you await whatever he’ll do next. And when he urges you to spin around and face him, you obey immediately, your hands coming up to splay against his chest as he presses even closer and rewards your compliance with a kiss.

“Jungkook,” you breathe against his parted lips. “Jungkook, god.”

Slowly, he trails down your neck, leaving soft nips in his wake. “Yes, Noona?”

“We can’t,” you whisper, even as your head falls back to allow him more access to your clavicle. “Jungkook, we can’t do this.”

Your companion raises his head then, his dark gaze meeting yours. “Tell me to stop,” he says quietly. His thumbs dip beneath the hem of your shirt, rubbing circles into the soft skin of your waist, and you inhale sharply at the feeling. “If that’s what you want, Noona, just tell me to stop and I will. I promise.”

He’s palming along your hips now. The warmth of his palms seeps into your body, rendering it increasingly difficult to concentrate. His mouth returns to your neck as he awaits your answer, and you don’t miss the way his lips curl into a smirk against the delicate skin of your collarbone when you hesitate a moment too long.

“Well, Noona?”

Fuck it. Your arms wind around his neck, pulling him closer until there’s no space left between your bodies. “Jungkook, kiss me,” you breathe, throwing all remaining remnants of caution to the wind.

Jungkook straightens up to his full height, his smirk widening. “Anything for you, princess,” he remarks before leaning down, winding one hand in your hair and finding purchase in the curve of your waist with the other. The newfound pet name ignites a tendril of heat in the pit of your belly, and when Jungkook finally closes the gap between your lips, you release a breathy moan that he eagerly swallows. The hand in your hair tightens its grip to pull you even closer, tongues and teeth clashing as he deepens the kiss.

It’s only when the need for air becomes critical that you break away from him with a gasp, your lungs aching. Jungkook isn’t faring much better, his chest heaving beneath the thin white material of his t-shirt. He releases his grip on your hair, his thumb grazing across your cheek gently instead, and when he leans in to plant another kiss on your mouth, you exhale shakily. “God, Jungkook.”

His arm tightens around your waist. “What do you need, princess?” he asks, and you can’t deny your delight at his continued use of the nickname. His teeth find the lobe of your ear again, and you release a breathy moan as he delivers a particularly sharp nip to the soft flesh before pressing an open-mouthed kiss to the sensitive spot just below it. “Tell me. Tell me, and I’ll give it to you. I’ll give you anything you want.”

You slide your hands along his broad shoulders and up to his nape, brushing the silver hoops in his ears before tangling your fingers in his silky hair. “You’re teasing me.”

Jungkook clicks his tongue and pulls away, your arms falling uselessly to your sides as he takes a step back. “I just need to hear you say it, Noona,” he chides, his voice leaving no room for disobedience. “I need to hear you say that you want this. That you want me.”

A shiver dances up your spine, and you aren’t sure whether it’s due to his wicked lilt or the sudden absence of his body heat. “I want you,” you whisper, reaching out to touch him. “Jungkook, please.”

The smirk that spreads across his face is absolutely devastating. “Then come with me,” he commands softly, taking your hand and lacing your fingers together. You leave behind the thumping music and the loud chatter of the party, allowing Jungkook to pull you into one of several rooms lining the hallway and squeaking when he shuts the door and immediately pins you against it. His mouth slants across yours, hot and urgent, and you moan into the kiss as your hands fly up to grip his shoulders.

“Do you know how long I’ve wanted this?” Jungkook breathes, pulling away just enough to whisper the words against your lips. “Fuck, princess, look at this tiny little skirt you’re wearing. You’ve been killing me all night, you know that?”

He punctuates the words with another kiss, nipping harshly at your bottom lip. His hands slide down to the curve of your ass, and you gasp when he scoops you up effortlessly. “Legs around my waist,” he orders, readjusting his grip as he begins walking you further into the room.

It’s the laundry room, you realize upon closer inspection. Jungkook’s busy mouthing at your neck, but he breaks away with a smirk when he finally reaches his destination, plopping you down atop the cool metal of the washing machine. “Shame there’s nothing in here,” he remarks, kicking the side softly. “I really wanna fuck you with this thing running one day. But for now…” His smirk widens, his hands settling on your knees. “This’ll do.”

In an instant, he’s pushed up your skirt and hooked his thumbs into the waistband of your panties, tugging them down and off your legs. He drops to his knees, smoothing his hands along your inner thighs, and your cheeks flush when he urges you to spread them further. “Jungkook—“ you mumble, thoroughly embarrassed as he stares reverently at your exposed core, his tongue swiping across his bottom lip. “Quit staring at me like that.”

“I can’t help it,” he murmurs, leaning in and pressing a soft trail of kisses along your thigh. “You’re so beautiful, Noona.”

“You…”

You trail off, unsure of what to say. What do you say when your little brother’s best friend is staring at you like you’re a desert oasis and he’s been wandering, dehydrated, for days? What do you say when the scrawny neighbor kid you’d grown up with is caressing every inch of your legs, soothing the soft skin with his fingers and lips?

What do you say when you realize, once and for all, that Jeon Jungkook is undoubtedly—unabashedly—a man now?

You swallow, hard. Jungkook is nearing your core now, his hair tickling your thighs, and you gasp when he slides a finger up your slit experimentally. “You’re so wet,” he breathes. “So wet, and so—” He touches the pad of his finger to his tongue, grinning up at you as he laps up your essence. “—delicious. Fuck. You’re the best thing I’ve ever tasted.”

And then he leans forward, boldly licking a stripe up the length of your entrance. Strong arms wind around your legs to hold you open, and when he shoves his face even deeper, his nose brushing against your clit, you let out a strangled whimper. “Fuck, Jungkook—”

The sound of his name draws a pleased hum from the young man nestled between your thighs, rumbling through his chest and straight to your core. Your walls clench, but Jungkook stubbornly refuses to dip his tongue inside. Instead, he teases at your folds, spreading them apart with two fingers and licking ardently at your leaking juices before kissing a short trail up to your clit. “Can you cum like this?” he asks curiously, thumbing across the sensitive bundle of nerves.

His answer comes in the form of a breathy gasp, your hips jerking upward to seek out more friction. Jungkook chuckles and obliges your silent request, dark eyes flickering up to meet yours as he begins rubbing slow circles around your bud. “Guess that’s a yes,” he murmurs, pressing yet another kiss to your thigh. His gaze remains locked on yours as he rubs a little harder, dragging your juices up from your slit and digging in deep until you are moaning aloud, your hands coming down to fist in his silky hair.

“I-I’m close,” you keen. “Please, Jungkook, please.”

Jungkook hums and leans back. At the same time, he slides two fingers inside you, curling them upward, and the sudden surge of fullness is more than enough to tip you over the edge. His name escapes your lips in a garbled moan, your walls spasming around his hand as he continues teasing your clit, drawing out your orgasm until you finally whine from oversensitivity and bat him away. Obediently, he withdraws, rising to his feet so that he towers over you once more.

“Holy fuck,” he murmurs, staring down at you with an expression caught somewhere between awestruck wonder and unbridled hunger. “You’re so pretty when you cum. So pretty and perfect and—” He swallows, his throat bobbing harshly. “God, I need to fuck you. Can I fuck you now, Noona? Will you let me stretch open this pretty little pussy and fill you up with my cock?”

Your breath hitches. Never in a million years could you have imagined that your brother’s mild-mannered best friend could have such a filthy mouth, but you cannot hide the way your core clenches at his words. Slowly, you raise your arms, winding them around his neck to pull him closer. “Yes,” you whisper, brushing your lips against his. “Fuck me, Jungkook.”

A groan escapes him, deep and cavernous in a way that sends heat spiking through your veins. Jungkook doesn’t waste any time, his mouth chasing after yours as one hand finds the back of your head, pulling you into a bruising kiss. The other slides down to the waistband of his jeans, freeing himself from the confines of the denim. He doesn’t break the kiss for a moment, even as he grabs your hips and pulls you closer. It isn’t until you’re seated on the very edge of the washing machine, wrapping your legs around his waist to steady yourself, that you pull away and let your gaze fall to his newly revealed cock. Jungkook is long and deliciously thick, and you let out a shaky breath when you see the pearlescent white drops beading at the swollen tip.

“Oh my god.” The words bubble up automatically, escaping you in an airy whisper. “How are you so big?”

Jungkook huffs out a hoarse chuckle, amusement glittering in his dark irises. “Think you can take all of me, princess?”

Your gaze falls down to his length again, your tongue darting out to wet your lips. “Put on a condom, and let’s find out.”

Jungkook grins and produces a little foil wrapper from somewhere in his back pocket, tearing into it with his teeth. You help him roll the condom over his cock, and as soon as it’s in place, he’s lining himself up and pushing inside you. A deep groan escapes him as he parts your walls inch by torturous inch, and you moan as your pussy is stretched to its limit, molding to his shape and sheer size. By the time he bottoms out, he’s almost prodding at your cervix, and you grab breathlessly at his bicep.

“I—I need a minute,” you gasp, your body spasming around him as you fight to adjust to the surge of fullness.

“Me too,” Jungkook rasps, his voice strained. His eyes flutter shut as he inhales deeply through his nose, cursing again when you clench around him unconsciously. “Fuck. You’re so tight.”

For a few moments, there’s only the sound of Jungkook’s labored breathing, his head falling forward to rest on your shoulder. His breath is hot against the exposed skin of your clavicle, and you sigh when you feel him mouthing at the delicate skin, nipping softly before soothing across it with his tongue.

At the sound, Jungkook raises his head, dark eyes meeting yours before dropping down to where the two of you are joined. “God, you look so good like this,” he murmurs, licking his lips. “So pretty, stuffed full of my cock.”

You clench around him again—this time more purposefully. Jungkook’s mouth falls open, a silent question on the tip of his tongue, and you answer it with a deliberate roll of your hips, wordlessly encouraging him to move. Gingerly, he obeys, retreating until only the head of his erection remains inside you. His hand drops down to your clit, and you keen out his name when he surges forward at the same time he flicks his thumb across the sensitive nub. Pleasure licks at your spine, replacing the discomfort. Jungkook lets out a pleased hum.

Slowly, he works up a rhythm, keeping his thrusts shallow as he begins rubbing circles around your clit again. With his other hand, he slides the straps of your top down your shoulders, tugging the bodice down just enough to free your breasts. Your nipples harden at the exposure, and a moan escapes you when he immediately takes one between his fingers, rolling and pinching at the peak. The additional stimulation, paired with the heavy drag of his cock along your walls and his insistent thumb on your clit, has you teetering dangerously close to the edge, your tummy tensing.

“Jungkook—” you whimper, your nails digging into his shoulders. He grunts in response and picks up the pace, rolling even more fervently up into your clenching heat, and you gasp when a particularly hard thrust sends you scooting backward atop the washing machine. “Fuck! I’m close, Jungkook.”

“Me too,” he grits out. “Come on, princess, cum for me. I know you can do it, just let go for me one more time—”

And with one final flick of his wrist and a thrust that’s so deep you can practically feel him in the back of your throat, you come completely undone, spasming wildly around his cock. It all proves too much for Jungkook, who’s groaning right alongside you as he reaches his high, spilling into the condom. He chants your name like a prayer as his hips gradually still, and his lips seek out yours almost instinctively as his cock softens inside you. The kiss is lazy and languid, contentment settling in your veins. Jungkook wraps you up in a warm embrace, his tongue dipping inside your mouth to explore.

It isn’t until a loud cheer rises up from the front of the house that you snap out of your blissful haze. “We should get back to the party,” you mumble into the kiss, pushing against Jungkook’s chest when he only pulls you closer. “Jungkook, come on. People are gonna get suspicious if we’re gone too long.”

“You know what else will make people suspicious? You, coming out like that.” He gestures at the skirt hiked up around your waist, a slow smirk playing at his lips as he gives you a once-over, his gaze lingering on the wet sheen streaking your inner thighs. “As much as I’m enjoying the view.”

You swat his arm. “Stop that!”

Jungkook snickers and bends down to pick up your discarded panties, swinging them around his index finger. “Stop what?”

“Oh my god, Jungkook.”

Cackling, he returns the lacy undergarment to you, watching as you pull the material up your legs. You adjust your shirt while he disposes of his condom, and when you hop off the washing machine, he offers you a hand that you gratefully accept, gripping his arm as you steady yourself on shaky legs.

“You should leave first,” you tell him, smoothing out the wrinkles in his t-shirt and relishing the way his muscles twitch beneath your fingertips. “It’ll look weird if we leave together, and I need to pee, anyway.”

Jungkook grins and catches your wrists, swooping down to plant a quick kiss on your mouth. “As you wish,” he says, offering you a playful wink.

Then he’s straightening back up to his full height, checking his pockets and running a hand through his mussed hair. You watch as he walks over to the door, putting his ear against it for a few seconds before determining that the coast is clear and slipping out into the hallway. As the door clicks shut behind him, you hear someone—you’re pretty sure it’s a drunk Yugyeom—greet him with a resounding clap on the back. “Dude, where have you been all night? We’re getting our asses handed to us. Minho and Taemin are winning.”

“Sorry, man,” Jungkook half-shouts, and you realize that he’s making sure you can hear him. “Come on. Let’s go get that crown.”

Leaning against the door, you listen as their voices recede down the hallway. You count to five, and then to ten when your thumping heart refuses to slow. At nineteen, it finally calms down—enough that you feel comfortable leaving the laundry room and slipping into the bathroom to clean yourself up.

There’s a massive crowd gathered in the dining room by the time you rejoin the party, and you easily slip unnoticed into the mass of people eagerly watching the final round of the beer pong tournament. Jungkook stands at the far end of the table beside Yugyeom, poised to throw.

He catches your eye at the same time he releases the ball with a flick of his wrist, a knowing smirk settling on his face as triumphant cheers break out all around you.

///

It’s well after midnight by the time the party begins to wind down. Chaeyoung and Lisa are nowhere to be found, and several other girls are lingering near the front door saying their goodbyes before heading out. You find yourself seated on the couch between Jimin and Minho, watching as the latter helps clean up by hurling beer cans at the wastebasket on the other end of the room.

“Man, no wonder you suck at pong.” Jungkook walks into the room and plops down on an end table, a faded cardboard Burger King crown sitting rakishly on his head. “Want me to show you how the champs do it?”

Minho snorts. “Fuck off, man, you barely won that second game. Besides, we totally would’ve won if Taemin hadn’t spent half the time staring at Lisa’s tits.”

Taemin, who’s perched on a corner of the coffee table, raises his hands innocently. “Hey, don’t look at me. I scored most of the points that round.”

Minho huffs irritably and tosses another can at the wastebasket, cursing when it bounces off the rim. Taehyung wanders in and picks it up, throwing it back at Minho before squeezing into the miniscule amount of space between you and Jimin on the couch.

“Jesus, Tae,” you grunt, shifting to give him more room. The movement tilts you toward Minho, smushing you against his side, and he shoots you a playful grin and a wink.

“Cozy?”

“Cozy,” you confirm with a laugh.

“Good,” he says, freeing his arm and throwing it across the back of the couch to give you a little more space. “It’s nice having you around again, Noona.”

Jungkook’s head whirls around so quickly you fear he might have given himself whiplash. His stare zeroes in on Minho’s arm, eyes narrowing at the proximity, but the other boy remains blissfully unaware as he leans back against the couch cushions. Subtly, you lean forward, trying to put some distance between your bodies.

“It’s nice to be back,” you tell him. “It feels like I missed so much, but at the same time, it’s like nothing’s changed.”

“Choi’s aim sure hasn’t changed,” Yugyeom remarks from the doorway with a handful of empty beer bottles. “Still can’t land a shot, even after all these years.” Raising a bottle, he hefts it toward the wastebasket, smirking in satisfaction when it sinks perfectly inside the can.

“And not just with pong,” Taemin goads. “How did things go with Sana again?”

Minho rolls his eyes. “Like you’re one to talk. Besides, we’d all probably stand a better chance if Jeon over there would leave some girls for the rest of us.”

“You’re just jealous because Sana likes him better than she likes you,” Taehyung says with a snicker. “Yo, Jeon! Didn’t you guys make it to third base at Jackson’s party?”

Your stomach sinks as all eyes in the room turn to Jungkook, whose eyes go wide at the sudden attention. “What?”

“Sa. Na,” Taehyung repeats, emphasizing each syllable. “Hottest girl in our year? Third base at Jackson’s? Or are you having a hard time remembering since you wound up leaving with Jihyo?”

Yugyeom chortles as he plops down onto the carpeted floor. “Fuck, man, I forgot about that. Jesus. Just last year you were still shitting yourself at the thought of talking to a girl. Who knew you secretly had so much game?”

The room is beginning to feel stifling. Every breath you take feels like you’re inhaling ash, like a volcano that has lain dormant for ages has suddenly and without warning erupted inside your chest.

He’s playing you. And even worse, it seems that this is a game he’s played before—many times, if his friends are to be believed. Your stomach turns at the thought.

From his perch on the end table, Jungkook scoffs out a stilted, staccato note. “Right. I guess any nonzero number would seem high to you guys, huh?”

Loud jeers break out from the surrounding boys, and you do your best to melt back into the couch cushions. The way you’re squished between Taehyung and Minho makes it impossible for you to find any leverage to stand, so you settle for leaning your head back and staring at the stucco ceiling, willing your heartbeat to slow. Gradually, the noise of the party fades into the background, as do the voices of your brother and his friends. It’s only when Jimin pokes your shoulder, singsonging your name, that you break out of your trance.

“What? Huh?”

“The lake house,” Jimin says, looking at you as if you’re stupid. “You down?”

You can only blink at him, repeating the words back to him dumbly. “The lake house?”

Jimin raises a brow. “Yeah, the lake house. You know, our lake house? The one we drive up to every summer? Where we’ve been vacationing since we were like, five?”

You scowl when he pinches your cheek like you’re a child again. “Yeah, I got that. What about it?”

A snort. “Jeez, have you been listening at all, Noona? We’re talking about going up there for a few days.”

“Oh,” you croak. Unwillingly, you find yourself glancing over at Jungkook, your face growing warm when you see him staring right back, his expression careful and composed. “Right.”

“You should come, Noona,” Taemin pipes up. “You’re here for the next few weeks, right? Might as well have some fun.”

“I don’t know—” you begin, but Jimin cuts you off with a raised finger and another pinch to your cheek.

“You can’t just do homework the whole time you’re here,” he says. “Come with us, Noona. Live a little.”

“It’ll help get your mind off your internship, too,” Jungkook remarks softly. “You deserve a break. Just a few days won’t hurt.”

The fact that he remembers your internship woes shouldn’t make your heart lurch. You know it shouldn’t, but you can’t help the way your chest swells dangerously. “Fine,” you concede, reaching over Taehyung to pinch Jimin’s cheek in retaliation. “I’ll come, I guess.”

Taehyung and Taemin cheer, and Minho wraps his arm around your shoulder and squeezes you tight. “We should invite the other girls,” he points out, chuckling when you splutter for air in his ironclad grasp and try in vain to shake him off. “Don’t want it to be a total sausage fest.”

“Penis party is a much better term,” Taehyung interjects helpfully. “It’s alliterative.”

“You want alliterative? How about a cock carnival?” Jimin supplies, before doubling over in giggles.

You huff, exasperated at the ludicrous turn in conversation. “I can’t believe I’m coming with you guys.”

Minho snickers. “Title of your sex tape,” he jokes, punctuating it with a suggestive eyebrow waggle that sobers your brother up immediately. Jimin straightens up and fixes Minho with a glare, and despite your brother’s smaller stature, the older boy still shrinks back slightly.

“Dude, that’s my sister.”

Minho raises his hands apologetically. “Sorry, sorry. Automatic response. My bad.”

You just roll your eyes. “Are you twelve? God. I don’t know how the girls put up with any of you.”

Gradually, the night draws to a close. The number of people milling about dwindles, and Taehyung fiddles with his phone, letting out a satisfied hum when he finds the playlist he wants. The music transforms into something low and smooth, the soft R&B beat filling the room. You feel your eyes begin to droop.

“We should probably head home,” Jimin says, stretching his arms lazily overhead. “Noona here has to get her beauty sleep, and I don’t feel like carrying her back if she falls asleep here.”

“Shut up, Chim,” you mumble, but there’s no real bite in your tone. Jimin just chuckles and stands up, tugging on your hand until you’re on your feet as well. Jungkook straightens up too, and together, you bid farewell to the others and head for the door.

“{Name}, wait a second.”

You turn at the sound of Jisoo’s voice, tilting your head curiously as she lays a gentle hand on your arm and ushers you off to the side. “Yeah?”

Jisoo casts a furtive glance around the hallway, lowering her voice to a murmur. “I see what’s going on with Jungkook,” she whispers once she’s sure the coast is clear.

You stiffen, your mouth opening and closing a few times before you manage to find your voice again. “You… you saw us?”

She nods. “He’s been watching you all night—it’d honestly be harder not to notice. I just…” She sighs and looks around again, missing the relief that must be etched across your expression as her gaze lingers on where Jungkook and Jimin are loitering by the door. “…just be careful, okay? Jungkook—he’s changed this past year. I mean, I don’t know if all the rumors are true, but… he’s not the same guy you probably remember. He went out with Chae for a few weeks, did she tell you that?”

At your look of horror, she sighs. “Figures. She hides it well, but I know she’s still torn up about how he ended it after they slept together. So watch out for him, okay? He’s a heartbreaker. And he never, ever stays until the morning.”

Every word that leaves her mouth stings, but you don’t let that show on your face. Instead, you force a smile and pat her hand reassuringly. “Don’t worry about me,” you tell her. “I’m not going to get involved with him.”

You repeat that to yourself the whole way home, trying not to focus on the young man a few paces away and the way you can still taste him on your tongue.

[nightswithkookmin]

so I was shocked seeing some pjms shipping jm with taemin(shinee) and some are not popping out veins over that,,but I made a mistake of commenting on that tweet saying that jikook could be real..let me tell you the hate I received from solo pjms 😭have never been attacked online like that,,the insults and the cursing that were flooding on that innocent tweet made me almost deactivate I had to go on private and deleted my comment...Now what shocked me is that they didn't attack that pjm shipping jm with taemin but only me who mentioned jikook as a pair,why are they so riled up with jikook but okay with people shipping jm with other idols?..Are they scared bcs they know there's a chance jikook could be real or are they just gatekeeping jm.?😭

I have had my own share of arguments with solo stans,but I just realized that solo pjms are worse than any other members solo stans worse than tkkrs.. same ppl who dragged a solo hobi stan and the pason deleted her acc, now I didn't know the same thing will happen to me 😭...I'm even afraid commenting of jm focused accs bcs I don't know what is considered forbidden to them..I with just stay on jikook spaces on twitter..I'm still recovering 😂..anyways I wonder what this people will do if jikook ever comes out as couple

Well they are SOLO stans...

If they liked anyone else in BTS other than JM they wouldn't be SOLO stans.

It's easier for them to ship two ppl they like together than support a relationship where they hate one pair vehemently. And whew do they hate JK's fine ass. Whew😩

They be the ones screaming JK an abusive boyfriend abusing Jimin cos he hates him, wants to tap his milk for free while doing the gawk gawk 69 with a random hoe in cheap motels.

When the aliens come I'll tell them this is brain damage. A whole bunch of em.

Personally, I ship JM with everyone 💀

Recently I hopped on the JiLizzo train😩

That hey Jimin got me weak in the knee. Love it for them.

Kinda into the burgeoning Micheal Jackson xJimin ship too. I might be a pioneer of that ship not gonna lie. Have a few edit up on the internet somewhere- it's making rounds😊

Now that you mention Taemin... I might just have a KaiminJimicheal foursome YT channel up soon🤞🏾

Most times I'm really torn because I like anyone who likes Jimin or whom JM likes. PJMs fall somewhere on that spectrum because they like JM- who is a member of BTS, which is a band I happen to like too.

It's when they broach into hater territories I have a problem with them- cos then they hating on other people I like. Hobi, JK- the list go on and on.

I keep saying Solos are a part of the Bangtan ecosystem. You've seen the numbers on Instagram. I'm not about to beat JM solos out of the ecosystem when it's like but we need the numbers to even shit out😩

It's everyone for themselves BTS for us all out here. We saw it coming a mile away.

It's all ot7 till it's time to pursue Solo careers| IG and then some members are fucked real hard.

Numbers don't lie. And it would be a cold day in hell before one of those fucked members be my Jimin I'm sorry. I will not stand for it. IT'S NOT HAPPENING. NOPE. MM MM.

When I come across OT7s attacking PJMs really my blood boils. Yall will attack JMs fans and then yall will not follow JM on Instagram or support him like you support your bias😒

HOW DID WE END UP WITH THE SHORT END OF THE STICK???

All the fake woke JM Jikook stans who helped clap other JM stans out of the fandom for calling out toxic Tuktukkers and fake OT7s how our stupid ass feeling now?🤡

Worse they turn a blind eye at other people's Solos and enable them hence why those members been able to cultivate such large uneven numbers FULL OF SOLOS.

OT7 is a breeding ground for certain member's solo stans EXCEPT JIMINs.

Kill the PJM they yell.

It's the double standards for me.

Not that Solos are a bowl of sunshine they are real asses won't lie. It's the constant baraging, constant attacks on other members like you don't need to bring one member down to lift your bias up. Insecure much?

You don't have to hate one member to love another. It's stupid. Foolish, counterintuitive. Very toxic and Puttin level deranged.

The bangtan fanscape is huge. Solos are part of that fanscape. I don't advocate for pushing them out of the ecosystem. I advocate we all act civil, respect boundaries, stay out of each others business. Just like your bias' post and go. Just buy his merch and go. Just stream his music and go. If you OT7 buy ALL MEMBERS' MERCH AND GO. STREAM ALL THEIR SOLO MUSIC EQUALLY AND GO.

YOU CAN'T MAKE AN OT7 OF A SOLO STAN.

If I come across a Solo tearing down another member I'm putting paws on em. If I come across an OT7 fake supporting and being biased to the detriment of other members I'm cutting their throat. YUP. I'm allergic to witchcraft which is exactly what this is.

TOO MANY SOLOS PRETENDING TO BE OT7 IT'S JARRING

And listen yeah, OT7s would have attacked you just as rabidly. Which is what fucks with my brain- How the hell does OT7s and Solos act alike WHEN IT'S JIKOOK BEING SHIPPED.

Someone explain this to me in tiny alphabets cos it really be messing with my frontal lobe, I AM NOT UNDERSTOOD.

Naa cos Solos hate Jikook because they either hate Jimin or Jungkook. Ot7 WHAT THE FUCK YOUR PROBLEM IS.

And they do it under the guise of Jikook are brothers they not gay, stop reading gay into their every interaction- but when it's SOPE or TAEKOOK or NAMJIN then suddenly it's chile these motherfuckers gay on God.

What I want is an open fight.

THAT'S WHAT I FUCKN WANT

I want to pull bitches hair, scratch their face, bite their nipples and choke them in the most violent way possible.

Sorry you got jumped sis. That's what happens when you don't look before you cross the damn road🤣🤣🤣🤣

You get run over by trucks and tricycles. Lmho

Should have called me to the fight damn.

Naa cos I would have stayed and fought 🤣

Also slip me this Jimin Taemin fan account lemme see sommin👀

Were they grinding on each other or just holding hands?👀

Forget it. I'm not shipping JM with anyone this month. Jungkook has been through so much when JM got ill. It's not fair to him after everything he's been through to ship Jm with other people 😒

But Taemin is hot as fuck. Kai too. And they make really good music. They kinda like Jimin too.

Still not a reason to ship JM with them.

Free Jungkook.

They are gonna ship JM with someone he spends little time with, talks to once in a blue moon, barely interact with on screen, rarely show kindness and warmth and generosity and affections to while ignoring the man who is always by his side, at work and off work, attends to his needs, is always around for him, protects him, comforts him, keeps him company, thinks about him, loves on him, makes him laugh, shares his meal with him, is his companion, takes so much space and shares his life with. YOU MAD OR INSANE?

Don't worry Jungkook. I got your back😊
