Thank you so much for being here. Your support, comments, and kindness mean a lot to me 💜

Jikook must help their hyung stretch. JK looks like he is as helpful as my children when I am doing tasks that do not require them 🤣🤣🤣

JK too distracted by his pretty Jimin hyung to realize that his Jin hyung is about to chomp him 🤣

You know when you see something - could be real life situations or even a show or movie you are watching - and there, right in front of your eyes, something happens that just makes you go "ooh, ok then..."? Those moments when pieces of the puzzle fall into place and give you that little piece of information that makes you understand where the story is at and where it's going? But it's a tiny, mostly insignificant moment in the scheme of things. Not too noticeable. And yet, if you or when you notice it, it's a "ooh, right" moment.

I'm not sure I'm conveying this properly. It's super clear in my mind, but writing it down is a little harder.

In any case, I do have a point here, and it has everything to do with the soundcheck for Busan's 2nd day concert.

This is the full clip of what went down. Nothing special really, the members walking out on stage. Each holding their mics. Then JM hands JK his mic as he fixes his pants or ties his shoe laces. JK talking to army rotating between his mic and JM's and then JM comes up and gets his mic back from JK.

At first, as the clips dropped on the day, we didn't get the full thing. It was JK with both mics. And then a clip of JK giving JM his mic, and only later there was the clip of JM giving JK the mic, and it was a little scattered and all over the place. Cute. Jikook. Not full picture.

And this is why I always say we should always strive to get the full picture. The context. The full interactions. Because they tell us everything. As they did with this moment.

This moment, to us, those that know that JM and JK are a couple, are in a long term romantic relationship, is just another super lovely coupley moment.

But to all those newly awaken fans, those who have started to see them as they are, those who have started their journey down this rabbit hole - this here, my friends, should be one of those A-ha moments I mentioned before. Yes, there are a thousand and one Jikook moments out there that are part of that "these two are a couple" puzzle. No doubt. But this kind of moment, for me in any case, is one of those under the radar subtle but louder than bombs moments that says everything!!

This is how the members were when they came out:

Then we have Hobi coming forward too, and JM clearly sees Hobi approaching:

And yet, he passes NJ (who is clearly a very close friend - confirmed by both).

Ignores Hobi, who is right there (he is filming, but still..), and Yoongi who he is now close to as well (also, super close with).

To do this:

JM has at least 3 other members he could have asked to hold his mic. He literally had NJ there beside him. And yet, he chose to slow down, walk behind and across NJ to JK's free hand, grab it and put his mic in his hand for safekeep.

No biggie.

But then again, isn't it?

It's just a mic, right?

Couldn't NJ hold it for him?

And see, if you look at the clip, JM thinks this through. He looks at his pants/shoes, he looks to the side and behind (clearly seeing NJ and Hobi) and makes his way to JK. Because there is NO OTHER OPTION.

JK is his person.

The one he will turn to for big and small.

Remember that conversation with NJ and Yoongi, both talking about how great JM is and how he is there for them and how close they are with him and how he talks to them and blah blah blah? Sorry, I'm a little touchy with that one. You know why? Because when they were asked who does JM turn to when he needs help, as in who is the person that JM relies on when he needs that emotional support, the one he leans on, their answer was evasive as shit - "you would have to ask him". As if they didn't know the answer already. As if the guys talking to them didn't (talking seconds earlier about JK). As if we didn't know the answer already (choosing to enlist together could be a hint or perhaps reading the lyrics to Letter could help too).

And here, this one moment we saw the other day, small tiny moment. And yet, even with this, holding his mic for a couple of seconds - such an insignificant thing -

The one person that JM seeks out is JK.

Seeking out your person to help you when you are in need of help, for the most minute thing is 100% couple behavior!! Even more so long term couple behavior!!

And again, this is one of so many of those moments we get to see of the two that show us just how much they mean to each other - beyond friendship, even the closest of a friendship.

It's moments like this here or when JK will cross a stage and 5 other members to stand next to JM or when they see something or feel something and the first person they will turn to or seek out to share it with is the other. These little moments of intimacy.

These are the moments you look out for.

They are automatic, they are raw, they are genuine.

Not a member grabbing another by the waist (the other one trying to face away) and creating a moment on stage.

Yes, I had to go there.

Bottom line, for the newbies - there are plenty of big loud Jikook moments out there, spread all through the past 11 years.

Many of them moments where they are the ones trying to tell us: "hey y'all, lookie here, we are a couple".

I mean JK sucking on JM's ear in front of 60K fans would definitely be him making a point. Or showcasing JM's workmanship on JK's neck - yes, I'm talking about the hickey he left him (JK literally caressing it while talking about it on camera) would be another.

The latest of those happening just one day earlier.

Those moments are them telling us something.

But it's the little ones like this one here that are the "ok then" ones - it's not them trying to hint to us or tell us or shout at us: "hey idiots, we're together - duh".

It's them just being. Giving us a glimpse of them being them. Even when they are part of BTS (unlike just the dynamic when it's just the two of them alone like in AYS).

Not Jikook saying they are a unit, a team together, and the rest of the members don't have to go to save time 🤣🤣🤣

🐥 We don't have time to talk about this!

🐰 Let's do it as sets 🫂🐥

🐥 How about one team here, and the rest of the members don't go?

🐰 That sounds great!

🐰 How was it Jimin-ssi?

The way JK snaps his head around SO fast when he hears Jimin "cry" lol his face too 🥺 ENDEARED

Jimin just fully leaning his head on JK and the cutest pose ✌️🤩

All the cute little moments, giggles, smiles and constant touches that occur when they sit next to each other, just fully in their own world

The way Jimin added in an extra little Festa comment but then got distracted and pulled in by JK without fully ending his mention and Joon calling him out on it by going "you done?" Lmao Jimins apology 😅🤣 oops!

Someone give me the behinds where we see how jikook teleported next to each other lmao

This one might be my favorite omfg they are gorgeous, my yoonminkook right up front too

Did Jimin do something to garner all eyes on him or is it just because he exists and his members are obsessed with him? 🤣

The mirroring 😍 jikook okayyyy camera direction, maybe. But not the first time theyve done this and won't be the last!

SUGA, LOST IN MEMORY 슈가, 회상 속에서

And after 18 months attached at the hip, even spending breaks together, they traveled together again for 2 weeks. A few days after discharge.

They always go back to each other, at the end of the day, Jimin is who Jungkook trusts in the industry and vice versa. They are comfortable and complete together, where complete means whole, bloomed, safe. Not needing anyone else around, sometimes not wanting anyone else around because “it’s better when it’s just the two of us”. They’re like these clouds that the wind shakes but that keep intertwining and sticking together in the sky. Sunny or rainy.
