#enlistment

During World War 2 in America the enlisted troops serial number started with 12 and the drafted troops started with 32

Bucky's serial number is 32557038 (yes I do know that off by heart)

His number starts with 32...

32.

Our boy was drafted, he didn't enlist and juding by the year he was probably drafted due to the Service and Enlistment Act

But did not choose to go to war, he was forced.

Just let that sink in

Because I cannot get over the fact that James Barnes never wanted to go to war, and Steve Rogers desperately wanted to be fit enough to enlist had swapped places

That parallel is insane

Aaaaaah I enjoyed this ep so much 🥹 honestly they could just talk for hours I wouldn't mind it's enough for me. I'll take bangtan chaos all the time!

But LOL JK cooking with his cute glasses I didn't know he could be any hotter but here we are 😭

Jimin talking about the fact he started speaking up more...but also JK casually dropping a "I'm fine with anything" made me think that jikook are pretty easy people in general like they voice their opinion if they need to but they are not that picky about everything either

JK's face when they told him he couldn't wear black anymore LMAO

He was aghast hahaha

We also had some light flirting from Jimin to Seokjin

🐥 you know what I’m going to sleep next to you!

🐹 jimin

🐥yes 😄

🐹 do you hear yourself right now?

🐥 but I love you Jin

🐹 this has nothing to do with love

🐥 come on baby 😁!

This is so funny, I thought "thank god JK isn't there to hear this" because we would have witnessed tongue in cheek moment haha (I'm joking tho, they're both quite fond of Jin so I think he would have laughed but the image still made me go 🤣)

🐹 jimin and jungkook were really happy about enlisting together

🐥 i’m grateful you came with me

🐰 i liked it too

🐥🐰🤝

This was soooo sweet oh my god THANK YOU JIN FOR COMING THROUGH AND SAYING IT.

Like of course we knew enlisting together is what they wanted, they went through a painful ass process for it and destiny helped them but this comment makes me imagine just the sheer joy and relief they must have felt to learn they would go together 🥹 Military is not a very fun experience but Jin pointed how HAPPY THEY WERE. So maybe the circumstances were shitty but the fact they were together still made something positive 😭 Idk it's kind of emotional to have this kind of confirmation and the fact Jimin is grateful..."I liked it too" IT'S MUTUAL HAPPINESS aaaah my god 😭 hand holding from accross the table 🫠

This is so sweet so cute and I'm just SO GLAD they could do this and not be separated 🫂 can you imagine the trauma otherwise? But the universe moves for them and their union and they are blessed by the skies thank god 💜😭 IT'S TRUE LOVE

JK standing up to wait to see if Jimin needed help in the kitchen was so cute too...very gentleman 🤭

Great episode once again and I can't wait for next week 💜

We've also got jikook sitting together in hobi's IG post but wbk guys. I bet they must be spending time together now that they have few days off. May they enjoy 🫠

A Wonwoo x Reader One-Shot

Summary:

Wonwoo receives his enlistment date, and reality sets in, it’s only a matter of time before he has to leave. Over coffee, you both navigate the quiet sadness of an impending goodbye, holding onto unspoken promises and the hope that time will pass quickly. No matter how long the wait, he’ll always come back to you.

It wasn’t like you didn’t know this day was coming.

Wonwoo had mentioned it a few times before, in passing, never lingering on the topic for too long. He was never the type to dwell on things he couldn’t control, and military service was one of them. Still, there was something about today, about the way he kept checking his phone, the way he stirred his iced Americano more than necessary, that made your chest feel tight.

You glanced at him from across the table, watching as he stared out the café window, his jaw resting on his hand. Even in moments like this, he was effortlessly cool, dark sweater sleeves pushed up to his elbows, silver rings glinting against his pale fingers. He looked calm, but you knew him better than that.

“Wonwoo,” you called softly.

His eyes flickered toward you, and for a second, it was as if the weight of the world was sitting on his shoulders. Then, just as quickly, he smiled, a small, familiar curve of his lips that made your heart ache.

“What is it?” he asked, voice as quiet as ever.

You hesitated before setting your cup down. “Something’s on your mind.”

Wonwoo let out a slow exhale, his fingers playing with the rim of his glass. He looked down for a moment, as if choosing his words carefully, then finally met your gaze again.

“I got my enlistment date.”

Your breath hitched.

You had expected it, prepared yourself for it, but hearing it out loud made it real in a way that nothing else had.

“When?” you asked, though you weren’t sure if you were ready for the answer.

“April 3.”

So soon.

You gripped the edge of the table, trying to keep your expression neutral, trying not to let the sadness seep through. Wonwoo was watching you carefully, his sharp eyes catching every small movement, every flicker of emotion you failed to hide.

“I see,” you said, forcing a smile. “That’s… soon.”

He nodded, his fingers tightening around his cup. “Yeah.”

Neither of you spoke for a moment. The world outside carried on, cars passing by, strangers walking along the sidewalk, conversations blending into the hum of the café, but in your little corner, everything had come to a standstill.

Wonwoo shifted in his seat, then reached for your hand across the table. His grip was warm, firm. Comforting.

“I’ll be fine,” he assured you.

You swallowed the lump in your throat. “I know.”

He tilted his head slightly, his thumb tracing light circles on the back of your hand. “Are you?”

And that was the thing about Wonwoo, he never talked more than necessary, but he always knew exactly what to say. He never pushed, never forced you to speak before you were ready, but his quiet presence alone made you want to be honest.

You took a shaky breath. “I don’t know,” you admitted.

His fingers tightened around yours. “I don’t want you to be sad.”

You laughed, though it came out weaker than you intended. “Kind of impossible, don’t you think?”

Wonwoo didn’t argue. Instead, he just held your hand a little longer, like he was trying to make up for all the moments he wouldn’t be able to in the coming months.

“I’ll be back before you know it,” he finally said, his voice steady. “You’ll be so busy that you won’t even notice the time passing.”

You knew he was trying to make you feel better, but it only made your heart ache more.

“I’ll notice,” you whispered. “Every single day.”

Wonwoo exhaled through his nose, a soft smile playing at his lips. “Me too.”

The conversation drifted after that. You talked about things that didn’t matter, what you wanted to eat later, the book he was reading, the new game he wanted to play before leaving but there was an unspoken understanding between you.

No matter how casual your words were, they all carried the same meaning: I’m going to miss you.

As the sun began to set, you walked home together, side by side. Wonwoo didn’t let go of your hand the entire time.

When you finally reached your door, you turned to him, unsure of what to say. It wasn’t goodbye yet, not really, but it felt like a countdown had already begun.

Wonwoo studied your face for a moment before reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. His touch lingered, fingers brushing against your skin.

“Wait for me, okay?” he murmured.

You nodded, blinking away the tears threatening to fall. “Of course.”

His lips quirked into a small smile before he leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead.

“I’ll come back to you,” he promised.

And you believed him.

Even if it took days, months, or years, he would always find his way back to you.

Author’s Note:

yugyeom: To Ahgases 🐥💚

I’ll be enlisting on the 29th of September!

He's due to enlist on Monday 28th July and he's been posting his preparations on IG over the past few days.

The ceremonial shearing of his beautiful locks.

A cake with his team.

Some love for the fans.

Remember how Maggie Kang revealed that he was the main inspiration behind Jinu in Kpop Demon Hunters?

Well apparently he is good buddies with Arden Cho who plays Rumi and in less than four hours he will release a final gift for his fans.

He has recorded a duet of Free (Rumi and Jinu's song) with her.

I haven't seen a cross over as beautiful as this since Ryan Gosling and Jimin's Ken moment. Go Barbie!
