We Out Here Couple Blogging Now

Not Jikook. Zip it. Nope it's me with your man Kevin From Itaewon and although this will get posted later in the day it is right now 6 AM in my world and 9 PM Seoul time. Away the fuck we go. Me: Hey bitch. KFI: and the horse you rode in on. Lovely to see you, darling. Me: We posting selfies? I am so posting that Christmas card pic. KFI: Not just no but hell no, dear. I have a job. You texted about the don't ask don't tell culture here in Seoul. Me: Please elaborate for edification and education reasons. Also I'm blogging this. Hey did you know you don't look Korean? KFI: Okay. What do Koreans look like? We've talked about the "we don't talk about that" culture here, but it's not just about the queer community. Me: Explain. I think your eyes are supposed to be slantier and you should be less pale, maybe. KFI: I didn't get a lot of sun in the 90s. Have you met my dad? What I mean is that most people simply don't go around shedding light on things that should be private. Finances? Private. Religion? Eh, semi-private. Relationships of any sort? Depends on the relationship but there's a disconnect between public and private information. I'll ask my friends if their families are well. How are the kids, are your parents keeping well, etc. But not "how's the wife", because there is a bit of a line from polite conversation to intrusive behavior there. Why are we talking about me not being Korean again? I'm 75% Korean ethnically. Behave yourself. Me: Just blog stuff. Anonymous people. Make this make sense for me, oppa. Because you and I have seen some things together. We've covered some road, right, and we've had very deep philosophical, religious, even medical conversations, but I don't know if your boyfriend is even the same one from five years ago. Dude that is weird. You're weird. KFI: No, you're my dongsaeng. You're also a pain in the ass and you talk too much. You ask too many questions. As oppa I will always be here and give you whatever advice you ask me for, and will offer some if I feel it will help you live better or be happy. Because I do adore you and want you to be happy. (In re: boyfie) If you lived here and we were in a position to go out you would end up having a good friendship with him. He likes you, anyway. And yes it's still X, he said to tell you. You knew that, don't act like you didn't, you're in his phone (Laughs)

Y'ALL THIS IS A GUY I TALK TO ONCE A WEEK ON AVERAGE OKAY IT'S NOT LIKE WE MET SIX MINUTES AGO. Me: Kay but would I get to hang out at your place though? KFI: Yes, you would, but not uninvited. For you to drop over would be rude. You could come for game nights or dinner nights if I invited you first. Or of course if X invites you which he would. You really should visit, we have some nice hotels close by.

Me: But you could show up at my door anytime so that's kinda bullshit.

KFI: Also not really. I mean, we might negotiate that because it's us. But honestly? Your neighbors would think it was odd if I came by and you weren't home. I'm a man, you're a woman, neither of us appears married, so that would be impolite on my part. Me: So how's your boyfriend? KFI: You are insufferable and he is great. We're good. Be nice. Me: (sticks tongue out because I am Mature Like That) Me, again: Okay so we've been talking about the glass closet/golden closet situation and you've said that for Jungkookie there isn't one really. KFI: There isn't really one for either of them. Jimin isn't hiding either. Jungkook is more obvious here to me because of his flouting of social rules, but that Jimin lets him do it and also engages in that reversal is a huge signal. That none of the members seem to notice it most of the time tells me that it's standard procedure for them as a couple. Heirarchy is not important to them because their relationship is intimate and long term. They behave like spouses more than anything else. And that's why nobody asks the big questions, here. We don't have to. It's obvious to Koreans - at least gay Koreans, we don't need declarative statements. Me: Yeah because I always kinda thought Jimin was louder, more affectionate, especially in the early years. Koo seems like a Big Gesture guy - tats, possibly, ear sucking, showing off the hickey... KFI: OH yes. That... was a thing. Me: Which?

KFI: That so-called neck bite story was terrible. Even if it was partly true it was just awful. And that BigHit chose to let it run that way was akin to a flashing neon sign that said "Meet Our Married Gay Idols". At this point there is no closet any more. Even a year ago, yes, a closet existed, but now all that is left is just a public coming out statement. Me: I don't think we're gonna see that soon though. KFI: I agree with you. Everyone who needs to know, knows. The coding is so blatant that they might as well just wear couple outfits and celebrate anniversaries. Me: Which, uh.... US: THEY DO. Me: So I get why the hickey was a thing for us in the West but does it have that same connotation over there? KFI: Possibly moreso, actually. Marks like that are not acceptable socially. Certainly it should have been covered, at the least. That it wasn't was a deliberate statement. Me: Would you go so far as to call it fanservice or to say that maybe Jimin took the fall for something he didn't do, there? KFI: Absolutely not. That was in no way fanservice. I really see fanservice, by the Korean perception, as more along the lines of what you see Jungkook do with, say, V, or Jin. It's fun, it's cute, there's some aegyo going on, but it's not blatantly sexual like the subtext you get with Kookmin. Me: I keep saying the chemistry is entirely different. KFI: Even with Jimin and V there is some borderline flirtation going on but if you look at it honestly, it's affection, it's skinship. It's not sexual. The only two people in BTS who are sexually involved and telegraphing that are Jimin and Jungkook. Even down to the peace signs. Me: They all do peace signs, what the hell are you on about, oppa? KFI: I don't remember it being a thing over there but here peace signs in photos are often seen within the community as code for "I'm in the closet". Not always of course but that Jungkook and Jimin do them so often is just something I noticed. They seem to do them together a lot, too.

Me: I was pretty sure that was finger guns. KFI: You're bi, of course you would think that. Me: (shoots finger gun) KFI: I did look at the pics you sent of Jungkook's shoulder grip, too. (I sent him pics of that grippy thing Koo does at Jiminie's collarbone). That's not something I'd caught before but, wow.

Me: IKR?! KFI: Yeah. Yeah. I understand that these guys were basically raised by each other, very Lord of the Flies, K-idol style, but wow. That's very proprietary. And very forward. Do they both do that, or just Jungkook? Me: I see the neck touches more with Jimin, but there's that height thing. Like I couldn't easily just reach around you and push my fingers into that spot, on you, but Jungkook is the you here, he can reach. I think I've seen both of them do it though. KFI: Huh. That's rather versatile of them. Me: Explain it for the hets in the back, I'm blogging this. KFI: Oh, my. Really. Okay. The light pressure Jungkook puts on Jimin's collar bone, so close to the neck, is... loud. Very loud. It's sexual, because that area of the neck and shoulder is an erogenous zone to begin with. To locate those nerve endings and press in on them is a very sexually dominant gesture. It's nearly ownership. I can't see a logical explanation for that hold other than they are sexually intimate and Jungkook is actively topping when he does it. Me: That doesn't mean Koo is always topping. KFI: Of course not, certainly Jimin has very dominant moments. But that move, that is a top move and not a subtle one. If I did that to someone I would expect him to be immediately obedient and to be paying close attention to me. Me: And if someone did it to you? KFI: We're not here to talk about me. Don't be crass. Me: say bye to the Tumblr kids. KFI: Merry Christmas. You're not seriously blogging this, are you? Me: What? No. Of course not, oppa.
