it reads like a love story

Hi Anon,

I am so glad i have you to filter the toxic bullshit from ex-bird app and bring me the good stuff. Be careful in there:/ That place is too grievous to my mental safety.

But what treasures we are getting!

This is a gem.

This is the blurb of a summer rom-com istg.

I can HEAR the voice-over...

I can HEAR the OST!

They are indeed a love story. Seriously why even watch scripted films anymore, when you can watch these darlings being everything they are.

As we watch...

The sun sinks towards the horizon.

Offscreen, the director asks,

'Are you sure?'

They look at each other, and smile, 'Yes, we are sure.'

We all cry and throw flowers

OST plays

Screen fades to black

...

Oh wait, jumping the gun a bit...

that's the wedding 😅😅

Oops... spoiler hehe

Scroll back to the start:

As we watch...

The sun sinks towards the horizon.

Offscreen, the director asks,

'Are you sure?'

Jimin serves up is best righteous indignation and then tips his kayak over/collapses the tent on himself/lights the dinner on fire

Shrieking ensues

Laughter follows

💛 I 💜 CANNOT 💛 WAIT 💜 !! 💛

What if we one day find out it's not the idols but the stylists that are in a relationship 😅 bcs seeing the overlap of shared clothes and accessories summed up so beautifully like this, who can conclude that these are coincidences??

Styling is very intentional. Who remembers Miranda Priestley deciding on which belt to choose for a shoot??

The stylists work closely with the artist to create an image that conveys more than what you see at face value. They play a part in the story we're being told. Chapter two is a continuation of chapter one in the sense that Jikook share a special connection. They've often been matched when it comes to style. Wearing versions of the same outfit. It speaks of a bond. That they still run with this bond, that particular narrative thread in Chapter 2 is pretty interesting. Isn't it?

Part of building their respective solo ventures was about defining the 7 as separate artists. Very separate, in fact. Employing different genres, producers, and concepts. That this bond, that little thread kept being pulled, tells me simply enough that Jikook's bond extends beyond the group work.

JK reinforced that with his 'Let’s look at how talented and cute my bf Jimin is' for two hours. While JK did visit JM during rehearsals, and JM included him on his album on a secret song, it was curiously enough JM who was very absent during JK'S promo,... well..officially. Because JM did visit him in NY, but we've yet to see official evidence of this. #whereismytravelbuddycopshow

Why then this subliminal messaging? And it's more than 'they have the same taste in fashion' because that means dismissing the grand variety of fashion items available to them. Don't come with 'they're using items more than once to get their money's worth', no. Why haven't we seen others share specific items then? More than once, and more than one item at a time.

It's because these men are telling us, with nuance and care, that they share a bond. They share a thread that cannot be broken even by outside ventures.

Concept photos and clip

JM's first concept photos dropped, and what can you say? The man is 🔥🔥

Walking in the Smeraldo flowers garden.

Wearing this belt:

Same belt?

The minute I saw this photo it felt a little familiar.

And then it hit me.

JK's 2D shoot.

Now, I'm no photography expert, but it looks like the same kind of slow exposure technique is used for this photo.

And then we have this:

How far will you go for love

To the moon?

To tell the whole world that you want that one person you love, even if your love may be considered as wrong or ugly to some?

To enlist together, being the first idols EVER to do so?

I guess pretty far.

Yeah yeah, I know not everything is about Jikook. This is JM's album, JM's photo concept, JM's creation. And yes, not everything is about them as a couple. There is definitley plenty that isn't. But with saying that, we have seen, time and time again, referencing, coding and mirroring of one another. Not everything is about them as a couple, but yet, I do believe that some of it is.

And then we have this next photo.

Now really?

If you are sitting there and denying the second you saw the tie you didn't envision this:

then you are lying. Either out right or to yourself.

The tie, the crop top. Even the pose with the shoulder tilt and the lifting of the chin gaze looking down.

Reminds me of someone else that had some mirroring going on and was called a copycat and so much more and worse.

I can assure you that was one among many photos taken in that shoot, and yet, that was the photo chosen by JM.

Third photo.

Besides the fact that JM is beautiful, no need to even state the obvious, we get a few more details from this photo.

First we get the 13 on his cheek.

In the Face shoots he had the studs/thorns and scar under his eye, and now he's proudly wearing the number 13, a number that means so much to him that he has it permanently tattooed on his arm.

His nail art.

In the teaser clip we had the crescent (probably right hand) and now we get two parallel lines. An equal sign perhaps?

We also have a little bit more sharing going on.

I guess Jikook do love to share their outfits and accessories when it comes to these solo shoots specifically.

Another coincidence? I think we are way past the point of believing that it is.

We have shared belts.

Same pants.

Different parts of the same outfit.

Same singlet.

Same necklace.

We also got this message:

ARMY! Who knew a baby chick could be so dangerous? One look at these concept photos and you might have a heart attack 🐥 10 years of this boy and he’s still finding new ways to be beautiful? 🤦‍♀️ 🐣: Is that how you see me?! 💜: Exactly that, yes. Hope you’re all pumped up for another new chapter in our lovely shared story!!

I find a few things curious with this one.

First of all, using the terms "boy" and "beautiful".

JM being an almost 30 yo man choosing the work boy is a little strange here, and knowing that every single thing he does is done with thought, just like the use of the non binary singer emoji for the 30 minute reminder or the tteokbokkibyjk.

And what about the use of the term beautiful, a term usually used as an expression of feminine good looks rather than masculine (not by me, btw, but by many).

Another curious thing I found was the dialogue, and more so, the question asked by JM: "Is that how you see me?!"

Question mark exclamation mark.

Is he asking us if we see him as a boy? Is it about age or gender? If we see him as beautiful? Is this about me overthinking? 🤣🤣

And then we have the clip:

So, JM in the dark, looking away from us.

Then the place lightens up and the camera goes into a close up of JM's face, and he's looking into the camera, or at us.

He's literally looking into my soul.

What to expect?

With JM I think we have gotten used to expecting the unexpected, in the very best way possible.

D-19

IT'S FINALLY GO TIME??!?!!??!

WHAT?

WE RIDE AT DAWN!

SET ME I AM

FREE! FREE.

He'll be turned to face us.. I am ready

im literally shaking && the green hair punk singer what even is that 🌚

I'll be hanging on to 'first dancing snowflake of winter' for a long time. Jimin really is that special. I hope he knows the true power of his charm. May it not overwhelm him, but give him strength. He's only human, after all.

Look at this man

Jimin just out-Jiminned himself

"Oh you think that was cute?" He grins, "Hold my beer,"

Aaaarrrrgggg!!!!!!

I am helplessly besotted.

Hes so adorable and beautiful and cute and lovely (and sexy, but its not about that today)

I can barely stand it.

My face hurts from smiling at him

The feel good vibes he radiates are throwing my carefully manicured moodiness into disarray

Maybe a blocked drain or a bowl of burned soup will help restore some balance to my life.

But this is not about me,

It's about Park Jimin

At least it was about Park Jimin ... until i noticed Loco practically writhing with glee on his sofa as he watches Jimin outdo every newborn animal or gurgling baby in the cuteness stakes.

Yes, let's consider Loco's reaction.

He is after all, right in the firing line of Jimin's radiance. He is defenceless against this barrage of cuteness-sexy-loveliness.

Loco is trying SO HARD to look at least somewhat impartial but it seems he is just as tickled by jimin as everyone else is.

Like everyone else, the man cannot stop smiling.

Well he can, but only if he bites down on his lips to stop them from cracking into a wide grin.

Probably easier to just not look at him ...

I wonder how many takes they did, and how many times he had to endure this outrageous display of charm.

Maybe Loco also needs a blocked drain or burned soup because his cheeks must be aching.

Seriously though, you know what this tells me?

It tells me

Jimin is just as delightful and gorgeous and sweet as we suppose him to be.

It tells me we see the real Jimin.

This is him.

He really IS the glittering star that brightens our dull lives.

He's the first dancing snowflake of winter.

He's a ray of warm sunshine in spring.

He's the pearly moonbeam lighting up your dark night.

He's a flicker of hope in your heart when everything else seems lost.

He's the pot of gold AND the rainbow.

It's a brave thing he's doing. Let's not forget that, despie the buoyant mood, he's taking a huge risk.

If i had a god I'd pray that they keep Jimin safe from hurt and harm, but i don't. I just have to have faith in the universe, that this beautiful and charming and funny young man will have the happiness he deserves.

#thank you universe fir the gift that is park jimin

(Here's the whole clip in case you want to smile till your cheeks hurt)
