More on Taekook’s bad mood and their fights with Jimin around this dramatic period + 4’Oclock’s LGBTQ movie reference & meaning.

Vmin’s fight:

Around this time while practicing for some tour stops that were still left (so beginning of August at the latest) Tae & Jimin had an absurd fight over dumplings and didn’t speak for 2 entire weeks. This shows how sensitive and prone to conflict they were during this period. In 2020, Tae explains it was due to stress & exhaustion caused by the filming of the drama, and how they ended up making up, with Jimin telling him he wanted to be his support. It seems to be the same talk in which Tae cried to Jimin after opening up about his struggles. This deep talk happened at 4am in the park where Tae started writing his song “4 o’clock” while waiting for Jimin to arrive. This song was later released in mid 2017.

This song has very deep lyrics that we can interpret if we analyze the LGBTQ movie that they reference: 

In the film many of the revelatory moments happened at night - on the beach of course (when the boys have an intimate moment), but also at Juan’s/Blue's house when Little asks questions of him. And Chiron's dream is set at night. Black/Chiron walks around pretending to be tough by day but is sincere and vulnerable under the moonlight.

At night vulnerabilities are exposed as they drop their act. People tend to define you by these aspects of yourself, so you normally hide them to avoid carrying a stigma or being judged. Jimin was someone Tae could confide in when alone under the moonlight. Judging by the song's theme, the hwarang filming might not have been the only issue discussed.

Jikook’s Fight:

During Festa 2020, Jk mentioned he felt very sorry towards Jimin for a fight they had in 2016 – making us think Jk must have been in the wrong. In this fight, Jimin seemed to disagree with Jk’s choices, or behavior, and angrily left the studio. Jk proceeded to roam the streets without a destination in mind, and ended up crying a lot and apologizing to Jimin. Tae called it “the sequel to the dumpling incident” meaning that this happened shortly after & may be linked in various ways:

When Jk specified it happened in the studio on a rainy day, most members still didn’t know about it and asked to elaborate. Members heavily cringing as a reaction indicates that they truly hadn’t heard this story before:

Tae seemed to recall this incident as if Jimin or Jk already told him not too long after it happened:

Jimin asks him what exactly Jk was sorry about and he simply said  “about that” with a small voice, not wanting viewers to know the details behind the fight:

BH added a penetrating & mysterious bell sound right when Jk vaguely referenced the incident.

Tae let’s us know an intriguing piece of information:
