not quite as easy as it seems

I'm sure we will be too, haha. It is and it's adorable to see already and makes me curious how it'll go as they grow. Yeah, I get it as I have four younger siblings myself. Do you really? Wow and date your brother and they're telling you? Well, that definitely can't be too fun to hear. I get it, I'm the same with my siblings. My fans dating my siblings would freak me out too much, so I get it completely.

"I'm sure they will grow up to do something amazing or wanna follow in the footsteps of their parents. I do. They always tell me like I feel the members who have sisters have dealt with that as well. If they know who are siblings are, it just makes it worse. Nope, never like hearing it but I ignore it anymore. We can't have fans dating any of our siblings at all. It would be so weird honestly. Though I feel they'd do that to get closer to us."

being nervous shows a passionate for what you're doing though - shows you care and want it to go well, but i'm sure the rest of the group is very much there for you. you'll be alright. i'm sure you are more than you think and i for one, as a fan, adore you! i'm sure they did.

"That's true and I care a ton about what I do. I always want a performance to be 100% if I can help it even if that isn't possible. They always show me that they are plenty. Thanks. I appreciate hearing that. Each show has been a lot of fun. It feels like we never left one another."

Now that all the big April holidays are over, you know what’s coming up? Mother’s Day. This happens to be my first one and I’m nervous but I’m also very excited. What’s a gift that you’ve given your mom that sucked but she pretended to like? @hfrpstarters

"Ah, you are making me realize I should get something for my mom. I'm sure even with me being on tour, she'd love to know I'm thinking about her. Hmm, probably dandelions that I'd randomly pick in the yard. Since they are considered a weed, you can imagine she just held onto them before getting rid of them and told me they just died since I didn't get them with the roots intact."

the reunion is amazing and people are losing their shit. i love to see it! you can only give so much. you need to take care of yourself to be the best for the fans. i had no clue that's what it meant, but hey... if the shoe fits.

"Are they? I'm glad, then I guess I did my part correctly. It's tough, I remember once I was determined to finish a concert so badly that I hit the floor backstage. I had overheated, it was pretty bad. The boys were panicking and they had to take my clothes off, talk about embarrassing. I guess it fits, at least if the fans say so."

When you’re not being that guy on stage, what actually makes you feel the most like yourself? I'm curious what helps you unplug. | @jxngkookftw

"That guy? Is that a good thing? I always overthink my stage performances, honestly. Would it be cruel to ruin your image of me and tell you that i love sitting in bed in my briefs while playing video games? That was cruel, right?"

party in Seoul

the kissing booth was me trying to get netflix to put me on something - and they finally did. red, white & royal blue was a fan of it, managing to get a role from his audition. i'd say being alex is more authentically me, but also i got lucky in so many ways. getting it, making nick look short when his character should be taller, making nick my partner, getting to play alex again! the kissing booth was an offer completely but also got me my best friend, joey king.

"Fair enough, I think you did great in both for the record. Perhaps that's the perks of being bisexual, I just think everyone is gorgeous. Is that a gift or a curse? I'm so happy that you met your partner though, that's what is important in all of this."

Haha, I'm making sure to promise. I'm hoping my ankle is good before tour starts. Beside everything we've been doing, I have been making sure my ankle is okay. Honestly, it's a mystery even to myself. I do think so. You did amazing, Kookie.

"You need to start worrying about yourself more, less about us. I know that's tough but at the end of the day, health is important. Promise me that from now on you'll worry more about you. We're all grown now, I'm not fifteen years old, so don't worry."

I've gotten a lot more used to it but still have days I'm feeling it's a lot so I just bother my other friend who's got twin daughters and somehow also helps. I get to enjoy my first father's day soon and not sure how to feel, haha. I think it'd be worth it one day if you truly want it. They can be a lot, but you love them to pieces and miss things as they grow but there's a pride as well. Well, the boys are doing well. I think Silas and Elias are already picking on each other — so convinced of it.

"Aw that'll be so sweet, I'm sure you'll be both excited and overwhelmed with emotion. I'm sure they would be, it's a typical sibling thing. I know my brother and I picked on each other a lot. You have no idea how many questions I get about him, they all want to date him. I'm too protective to let any of them near him. Plus he looks a lot like me- or well- I look like him. Still though, I wouldn't want anyone using him for awful reasons. You know?"
