Things that count as “questionable moments”:

Jimin talking about wanting to go on a date with JK

"지민씨” for no other fucking reason then the fact that it gets under Jimin’s skin

JK feeding Jimin cake

Selfies with just the two of them 

JK being exposed for only treating Jimin to birthday gifts and telling the other members to eat his ass

“애기야"

Q: “What is Jimin to you?” A: “Honey”

Always together, all the time, and hovering 

Things that DO NOT count as “questionable moments”:

JK looking in the general direction of where Jimin may or may not be standing and Jimin possibly but most likely not being the subject of his gaze

General skinship (more on that later)

“Jiminie hyung is nice to me”

Jimin being touchy-feely (more on that later)

“JK is cute” (more on that later)

JK looking with a blank face/anything other than pure happiness when Jimin is interacting with someone else (more on that later)

Things that should be taken on a case by case basis:

Clearly staring directly at each other for abnormal amounts of time - Staring is something that can easily be harmless and not at all questionable as people with eyes tend to look at things. This, however, quickly becomes questionable if it’s a forever-stare and it’s paired with numerous other clear signs of attraction OR when Jimin is hovering above JK wearing only a robe with their faces inches apart until Taehyung clears his throat and they have to abruptly end the VLIVE

General skinship/Jimin being touchy-feely - If it’s Jimin playing footsy with JK under the table, JK giving Jimin backhug, Jimin rubbing on JK’s thigh, or even JK resting his head in Jimin’s lap during leisure time, I can see how those things can be read as questionable, particularly from a western perspective. BUT holding hands, regular hugs, touching/brushing over in anyway, and even shoulder massages aren’t really substantive moments. Korean men are extremely affectionate with one another and Jimin can often be seen touching anyone he can get those paws on, so I wouldn’t take that and run with it 

“JK is cute” - They all call each other handsome/cool/sexy/etc., especially Jimin to the members. But this can be questionable depending on the context. If it’s just Jimin & JK on VLIVE or whatever and they’re doing other questionable things at the same time, I’d put more stock into it as a ‘moment’ than if it’s from an interview

‘Jealousy’ or ‘Jeonlousy’(?? I hate that term) - Just because JK didn’t burst out laughing and seal clapping when their manager played the ‘guess the finger’ game with Jimin doesn’t mean he was jealous?? Like why the hell would he be jealous of someone Jimin clearly isn’t attracted to, who also clearly isn’t attracted to Jimin, who has a working relationship with Jimin only, who didn’t do anything remotely sexual/romantic toward Jimin? On that note, why would JK be jealous of Jimin’s bro circle (namely Taemin’s ‘foreign girls can call me oppa’ ass, as a lot of people seem to think)? Jimin and JK seem like close friends, why would JK want to alienate his close friend from his other close friends?

The only time I would say the jealousy thing could be questionable is the playful jealousy they usually engage in. Also like...JK zones out all the time. Lord help him he reminds me of Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls. Jocks often have that blank look on their faces so I wouldn’t immediately jump on the JK is jealous bandwagon there

I think Jikook is fun and their friendship/whatever it is is definitely cute. I don’t have an opinion on if it’s more than just dudes being bros (and it’s none of my business to find out unless they say it is). I will say they do some pretty sus shit and I know if it were two people I knew personally doing these things I’d be more than a little suspicious of the nature of their relation. It just gets annoying to see everything painted as a ship ‘moment’ when it’s just normal shit, especially when JK and Jimin have a ton of real moments that make you go hmmm

Stay thirsty my friends.
