wow... had to check imdb to know what i've been doing? i see how it is, man. the past five years? get out of here with that shit. i'll always make time for you, bro. you know that. i'm sorry i didn't make it out to milan, but i am dead set on making it to at least one of you guys' concerts this year. but only if i can avoid having to get into a fist fight with some of your bandmates for a moment of your time. i feel like it's due time for us to have a beer and catch each other up on life shit.

dude, you're lucky i even found two minutes to look it up. what happened to letting your boy know what you're up to? it shouldn't be something i have to google in the first place. yeah? and how exactly do you plan on getting tickets then? because i sure as hell won't hook you up with that shitty ass attitude you're giving me. also, kidding. i'll talk to my assistant and see if she can help me out with tickets for one of our u.s. gigs. fight who? i'm only friends with half of them at this point, apparently.

yeah, don't. it's not worth it at this point. would i really be me if i wasn't living out my friends dreams? i think you'd look sexy in that giant union jack top hat, honestly, i'm all for it. i think i'm going to stick with the shirt... only because i'm trying to blend in with the crowd... not become the main attraction, you attention whore. who said i let her fly coach? i didn't. fueled the private jet up for her taylor swift style. she could still catch things though from the private jet... or even when she was doing promo. i'm a doctor, trust me on this. we're not so lucky you move like a turtle too. are you sure you didn't tell him already? cause i swear he's been side eyeing me since we got to london. the judgement is on hoseok levels. i mean, you have to admit, it was pretty on brand for them. you can't forget jimin then tripping over the mannequins and then kook somehow going down with him. it's like a fucking comedy show. you know what he asked me the other day? if it was okay to eat a sandwich that was three days old. i was so ready to scold tae.

tell me about it. i know they say you shouldn't sweep your problems under the rug, but i actually think that might be the best option at this point. out of sight, out of mind. no, i'm still traumatized from the hours we spent on that plane where you insisted we watch friends. never mind that i didn't understand a word and the subtitles were too far away.. whatever joonie wants, joonie gets. i know i'd look sexy in a union jack top hat. it's me we're talking about, hello? and is it really that awful that i'd want to get noticed and have my main character moment? it's the same as if jimin doesn't tell me i'm pretty at least once a day, i die a little inside. true story. how many times have you used our private jet to fly her back and forth? because i have a few friends i'd like to bring along on a regular basis whenever i feel like the band drama is giving me a rash. and what's with the insults? here i am, offering to take care of your girlfriend despite the danger of flying objects i'd have to dodge like i'm in a nintendo game, and yet you're being extremely shady. ...i might've told him, but to be fair, it's not like i want to keep secrets from him. and the few times i've tried, he's somehow managed to guilt them out of me. that is exactly why we can't take them anywhere, because they're both lawsuits waiting to happen or in physical danger half the time. sometimes i even wake up in the middle of the night just to check jimin's pulse like he's an infant. jesus christ, remember the eggshell incident? taking care of jungkookie is a full time job. after you're done scolding tae, please pass along my sincere condolences. being stuck with him can't be easy.

you know you always got me, hyung. if you said "we ride" i'd say, "when? at dawn?" it's what being family is all about. should we get some union jack shirts? do the whole touristy thing right? i think we should. yeah, i think she caught a bug or something from all the traveling she has been doing. don't worry, i am, but thank you for the reminder. damn, why haven't i thought of that? your boyfriend material radar is off the charts, hyung. yeah, that would be nice. think the ginger would help soothe her stomach. yeah that was... not great... but i don't know what we expected especially when we put those two together. they'll appreciate fine history, just give them time. don't let everyone in on my secret cause then everyone will find a way to fight about it somehow.

true that. it's always going to be the seven of us against everybody else, though, you know.. i'm not even going to entertain that topic, but you know what i mean. is this because you want us to become chandler and joey? because yes.. yes, i will wear a giant union jack top hat. and that is exactly why you don't let her fly coach, joonie. you never know what kind of bug she'll catch or worse, pass on to me. she's lucky i have the immune system of a turtle, so watch me live until i'm at least 120 years old. hold up, you haven't offered her tea? you should count yourself blessed that i'm not telling jimin, or he'd have your head on a stick while rummaging through his medical bag. ...but did they really have to yell "en garde!" at a mannequin and cause a domino effect that took out the entire fake squad? because you want privacy? i don't think so. jungkookie might have a few issues with that.

you know i'm always down for expanding my knowledge palette. if i have any say, i'd love to visit the windsor castle. i'm going to ask maddie if she wants to come because i don't really want to be away from her right now, but she probably won't. she hasn't been feeling well. you think i'm trying to hide forever? yeah, you're right.

and for some odd reason i knew i could count on you to be my plus one. or maybe it's not as odd as one might think, seeing as you're basically embracing your inner historian at this point. is she sick? remember to wear your mask around her or you'll probably catch whatever she brought back from the states. if you want, i can see if i can get her a cup of saenggang cha. i would ask jimin to join, but after the world war II incident (and yes, i am calling it that), i don't really think it's a good idea. kind of, yes?

i still have a little while to go on filming, sad to say, since it means i can't just drop everything and come visit you. you know i would otherwise because i miss hanging out with you, too. any chance we could flip this scenario and you could come visit me instead? not to hype myself up, but a superhero set is a pretty cool place to be. not to mention we could always do the pub crawl here too, in the name of your fake anxiety.

you know what, that is actually okay. it wont be long before we reach the states and then you best believe im dragging my ass to wherever it is that you're located at the time. and not that i dont dislike philly, but the superman set sounds kind of awesome. what are the chances i could try out your costume? and my fake anxiety is very real. at least it's a killer excuse for whenever i dont want to go out.

it felt strange, right? so high up in the air in just a basket and a big balloon, it does sound a little frightening. but sometimes it's worth it when you step out of your comfort zone. uhu, the views were just amazing. yeah, i had a great time. it was nice to just relax for a couple of days before diving back into work. what's next for you?

i'm not disagreeing with you here but scientifically and historically, we probably shouldn't be up in the air at all, whether it's in a basket or a plane. despite flying across the globe a few times a month, i still get extremely anxious whenever i board a plane. what's the most insane 'out of your comfort zone' experience you've ever had? well, right now i'm in london on tour, so that's basically what i've been up to. what about you? any new projects coming up?

you know, i honestly wonder if britain was like that sometimes too. i mean, i haven't seen my mother or grandmother wearing big dresses and getting into romantic entanglements with prince's... but, i'm also not saying it wasn't a possibility. jane austen definitely has a way with words and showcasing powerful women. though i wonder what that means in the long run for the diaspora of women in general. because, while i don't know much about korean culture, i can only imagine not being able to speak up. if i was to play a charater from a book... hm... well, my current obsession is fourth wing. i think i'd be able to play a mean lilith sorrengail. you have any ideas for books you want to see come to life? maybe i'll choose a character from one of your faves!

okay, so maybe it was more wishful thinking for most prominent families that their daughters would end up with a prince, or at the very least a lord. though, if the story of anne boleyn has taught us anything, it's that maybe that wasn't always the best option. may she rest in peace. perhaps jane austen wanted to show her readers that while they couldn't publicly speak up, they could at least dive into a fictional universe where that was okay.. sad as that might be. so basically, an explicit book about dragons? you know what, i can actually see that. trying to visualize it and it's definitely a blockbuster in the making. listen, this will sound extremely cliché and feel free to judge me, but there's this book series i've read called 'a world apart' that's about a korean idol falling in love with an intern. cheesy, but at the same time i think it could benefit a lot of us if people understood that while we're devoted to our fans, we're also just people who fall in love and the idea of having to keep that secret is honestly heartbreaking.

You and I both know that's a terrifying amount of power to give one person. I can't pretend I'm not delighted by it. That's exactly what best friends are for, really. Blind support right up until the moment the consequences arrive, at which point we both suddenly claim it was the other's idea. I don't care if it came from a sports commentator, a cartoon, or a man named Brad having the greatest day of his life. Modern society is severely lacking in people randomly shouting boomshakalaka when something exciting happens. Mate, I'm almost forty. This isn't Never Been Kissed with Drew. If I walked into a high school now, people would start looking around for the teacher. You're being incredibly generous. There's very little evidence left because I've improved over time, but there was definitely a period where I thought random scarves and layers made me look artistic when really I just looked like I got dressed during a power cut. I refuse to believe you can top that.

true, but i also feel like that's sort of how a broship works. we trust that our brother in arms knows how to handle that kind of power and not use it against one. though knowing you, you're probably already brewing ways to take advantage of it. just know, i'm pretty but i'm not dumb. ahem, you and i both know it will always be your fault. you seem to forget that i know just how cheeky you are. king of mischief or whatever the hell. ay, you know what boomshakalaka sounds like? hear me out, it sounds like someone scoring a goal in football and the commentator just yelling it for the hell of it. either way, i'm bringing it back to see if it still holds power. expect me to drop it every now and then at random times. yeah, okay, but can you at least humor me for a second here? what i'm trying to make you realize is that you don't look forty and you're as handsome as they come. but were the scarves at least hermès or chanel? and if you say they were from primark, i will judge you. and don't laugh. HERE and HERE.

You have no idea how easy it was to become the coolest uncle to my niece. I surprised her with tickets to the BTS show in August on your Dallas stop, so thank you—and the band—for swinging through a city close to home. She’s been over the moon about it. Are you all touring in the States right now, or are you somewhere else in the world at the moment?

what can i say except you're welcome? but to be completely honest with you, i didn't really have much say in where we went, so i'll make sure to pass that on to the people in charge of that. my job is basically just to smile and wave, look somewhat appealing and hit a few notes. so, do you know who her bias is? no, actually, right now we're in london and focusing on the european leg of the tour, but we'll be back in the states pretty soon. but seriously, major flex that we've got you attending one of our shows.
