Iâve been in a Jikookie mood of yâall couldnât tell, seeing them on my feeds more lately, so Iâm on YouTube and came across GCFT.
I just watched it after maybe two years at least, of having not even thought about it for real, and you guys⌠has a young man ever been so obvious about his feelings??????
Yes, my opinions are biased because I obviously already think thereâs something going on between them, but this was 2017. Jungkook was all of 20 years old when he made this video, yet itâs so warm and full of love, but most specifically, it showcases love and light through Jimin. Jungkook only appears in the vlog through reflective surfaces, yet we see Jimin almost non-stop. Jiminâs curiosity, Jiminâs style, Jiminâs humor, Jiminâs hunger, and Jiminâs joy.
To anyone who does not know them, to anyone who had no idea about their bond, GCFT is such an easily assumed edit of devotion. Itâs an âI love youâ without the words, but with the added lyrics singing about sticking by someoneâs side and never letting go, and it being a song by a gay man about another man⌠idk, dude. I donât get how people view them as brothers.
I think their relationship as it stands is probably very complicated seeing as theyâre older and life is life and fame is deranged. I think they flirt and I think they fuck, and I think shit gets messy, but in 2017, when they were still relatively on the rise and Jungkook was barely no longer a teenager, he wanted to uplift his best friend (according to their biography, in which this is explicitly stated by him) whom seemingly happened to be the guy he was head over heels for, and he poured it all out in this video.
Do I know if Jungkook realized at the time how this video came across? Nope. Do I know of anyone in his social circle ever pointed it out? Nope. Do I think he at some point since has likely come to realize the video is a declaration of love? Yes, because the both of them still talk about Japan as their thing. Theyâve traveled back multiple times together, and love it. They travel together in general, and love it.
Who knows what âJikookâ will become as their lives carry on, but goodness me. If youâre not into BTS yet are cool with shipping and rpf, I recommend not taking my word for it and going to watch G.C.F in Tokyo on YouTube. Itâs a near four minute video of soft lighting, smiles, and palpable peace. Comfort, even.
