WE GO UP // RENJUN

namjoon has a coddling way of showing his love to the members, it’s through praise and fond looks, it’s through sweet laughter when they’re being cute, it’s through offering support and tailoring his way of helping for each member. it’s through how he takes on a lot of work, so as not to pressure the others. it’s through his capacity to hold more than one heart in his body.

seokjin is more gentle yet louder, he shows his love through soft smiles after hearing them bicker, only to join in a few moments later. it’s through his shameless personality and making them laugh with it, it’s through waking up at dead hours to cook for them. it’s through fitting himself to each and every member, and yet acting as a cohesive bond for them all.

for yoongi, there is love in the silence. it’s the little things, when he passes over a water bottle without looking, when he praises a member without needing to be prompted, gentle and reassuring. when he goes on and on about how they’ve grown behind their backs, but never really says it to their faces. when he’s watching them have fun and be stupid together, when he finally joins in and let’s them see his goofy side. when he says they’re not friends, they’re family.

and then there’s hoseok, unabashed and unapologetic about how he loves his members. he shares kisses and hugs and massages and serenades them and holds them all so, so tight. it’s in the way he looks at them with stars in his eyes when they make him proud or happy. it’s in the way he thinks of them as “us” rather than “me and them”.

jimin comes in next, and there’s so much love for him to give. jimin shows love through his closeness, jimin’s love is through knowing the other members better than they know themselves. through remembering that “wait taehyungie can’t eat that because of this”. through looking at the other and knowing exactly what they need, through affection and clinginess and a belief that they’re never going to be apart.

taehyung is a love opportunist, taking every chance he gets to pour his soul into everything and let them know how he feels. it’s in the way he’ll write meaningful letters to them all, never putting one member over the other. it’s in the way he’ll plan trips for all of them, it’s in the way they’ll be watching a movie together and doing absolutely nothing, and yet he’ll look around and find tears in his eyes. it’s in the way he’ll listen to them, with an open heart and open arms.

jungkook comes last, the baby of the group. jungkook’s show of love is hard to pinpoint, but it’s in the way he turns his members into art, into songs and video and pictures. it’s in the way he’ll say why he admires them in front of thousands, but will be too embarrassed to say it at home. it’s in the way it’s home and not dorm. it’s in the way he knows he’ll get away with everything and get through anything, as long as he has his members.

they’re an odd little group, but they love in a lot of the same ways. they let eachother see sides of them usually closed off, they cry with eachother, they laugh with eachother. they find comfort in eachother when no one else can give it to them. and they go to sleep knowing bangtan is one body, one heart, forever.
