Jimin couldn't contain the soft, exciting flutters he felt in his heart. You were so sweet, surprising his pack with a little sweet treat. How cute was that?
The alpha decided then and there that he would try his very best to help you make the tastiest, creamiest cupcakes that have ever existed.
„Should we start then, baby princess?” He asked you gently, pulling slightly from you and letting his hands rest on your cheeks.
His eyes were soft and held a caring gaze, just as every time Jimin looked at you. Your tiny nod made him smile once again, gently pecking the top of your head before he pulled away.
„What are the ingredients we need, precious?” The alpha said gently, combing through your hair. He has worn his own apron by now too, and so both of you were ready to start baking.
You read the list of things needed for the almond cupcakes and the vanilla butter cream; the ingredients were quite many.
Even though the pack had very fine almond flour and even almond milk, Jimin felt guilt pang at his heart when he realised that they didn't have the almond butter needed.
„Baby Princess, we don't have that; Alpha is very sorry; How about we use just the regular unsalted butter instead?” He softly said, looking at you.
The little shrug of the shoulders he received in answer made him smile a little. It would be an okay substitute, he came to the conclusion, and so he took out the butter and placed it on the counter with the growing pile of other things.
„...and half a cup of s-sliced almonds.” You said everything needed for the batter is now named. Jimin nodded a little, going over to the tall cupboard before he opened it.
There were a few things laying around, mostly a few glasses of honey and different sweet sauces, but there were also a few packages of nuts as the alpha rummaged through, pulling out the almonds.
The eldest packmate would often bake and cook when he would get stressed, before important comebacks, or when he was about to have his first concert of his own solo music.
Jin was a really good baker and had a lot of experience with certain things; the alpha always knew how to use the seemingly intricate devices Jimin had never seen in person.
Whenever they had more free time, nowdays more often as they entered the hiatus era and had more time to do what they wished to do, not what was required, Jin started enjoying baking more and more.
The eldest enjoyed the precision, especially when he could use the new things, gadgets, and techniques he had just learned.
He would often make simpler things to eat, but from time to time, a very complicated dish would also be mastered.
And so, things like churros or éclairs, focaccia bread, banana bread, or a strawberry cream cake were quite usual to be seen.
The last time, though, the eldest made the prettiest macaroons, pink in colour, and the texture was like no other.
Since then, a short while has passed, and you have entered their lives now, but Jimin was in no doubt Jin would be a much better baker and overall cook to guide you through the recipe.
He could also imagine the elder grumbling about you cooking with the younger first, rather than with him.
For sure, though, he would quickly forgive and forget when he got to taste the sweet treats you two would make for the pack. If they go well, that is.
Jimin started preheating the oven to a quite high temperature, quickly coming back to your side to start preparing the batter with you; the electronic scale was already out.
„Here, princess, you pour the flour in, and I'll tell you when it's the right weight. Don't worry, Alpha will take good care of everything precious." He said gently to you, ripping open the sealed, regular flour package.
You nodded a little, carefully scooping into the bowl large spoonfuls after spoonfuls, the older man gently stopping you after you hit the right amount.
You reached for the almond flour next, and the phone with the opened instructions was before the both of you, so you only took a short glance.
Though, as you tried to pull apart the tightly sealed packaging, you couldn't do much; your fingers were either too slippery or something else was wrong.
Jimin heard you whine from where he was very lightly greasing up the silicone moulds for the future cupcakes, abandoning whatever he was doing and coming over right away.
„Aigoo, princess, Alpha will help; it's okay, baby." He said gently, cooing softly as he pecked your temple sweetly before he took the packaging from you, quickly opening it for you.
You both repeated the process, weighting the almond flour, continuing on with the baking powder and baking soda, and the vanilla sugar package.
Jimin helped you whisk the dry ingredients together, showing you how to hold the whisk correctly when he saw your slightly awkward grip.
The alpha smiled softly as he saw the excitement. He gently hugged you close to himself, letting his cheek rub up against your hair.
You didn't smell so happy since you came to them; even when they could sense in your scent from time to time that you were excited, it was only now this sweet to Jimin's nose.
He took out another bowl, going to prepare the wet ingredients. First he started cracking the six eggs, having your palms sweetly hidden underneath his, as he carefully cracked the last two eggs with your help.
None of the shell got inside, making you smile widely. You were used to first dropping the egg in a separate cup so a shell wouldn't possibly ruin any progress, as you weren't that good at fishing it out.
Quick to praise you, Jimin let his chin rub up against your hair sweetly, his own smile almost blinding. „My 'mega is so clever, hm?” He said softly, happy to have you safe and close.
You both washed your hands soon after and went on with the second bowl, adding in the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, almond milk, and butter, even though it that meant to be a bit different.
The alpha helped you mix up the seemingly stubborn butter; even when you placed it in the microwave earlier, it still had small pieces unmelted in it, and soon after, you poured the liquid into the flour mix.
There was quite a lot to whisk together, and so when you tried but couldn't do much, Jimin was quick to reassure you, quickly combining the two and making sure not to overmix.
„Here baby, how about you prepare the almonds now, while is whisk, princess? We just have to fold those in soon, precious.” He said gently.
You nodded happily, measuring half the cup of the sliced almonds, and just as you finished, Jimin gently let you pour in a bit at the time, folding the batter over so everything would get well combined.
„Princess, you did such a great job! Let's prepare the cupcakes and have them bake now, okay?” You nodded happily, the alpha bringing over the pan that had the silicone mould already placed on it.
With the alpha's sweet help, you carefully scooped the batter into each of the cups so none would overfill. You soon filled up the whole twelve-cup form.
Pecking your forehead happily, Jimin took the tray before he carried it over to the oven, making sure you weren't too close so the warmed-up air wouldn't harshly hit you before he placed the pan inside.
He helped you set the timer on his phone, and so while the 23 minutes were counted down, you and him started the cream that would then be put on top.
„Here, sweet princess, alpha will help." He said gently, taking the cleaned-up whisk before he started beating the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until a thicker consistency was created.
The vanilla butter cream didn't take too much time to make, with the alpha letting you carefully add in the almond milk one tablespoon at a time until the right consistency was achieved.
„Precious, here have a little... Is it good?” You let Jimin scoop up a little bit of the icing, letting you taste the cream. It was very tasty, that was for sure.
„It's good, oppa!” You smiled, the alpha having a small taste himself, nodding approvingly. And so, he helped you transfer it all into a star tip piping bag, carefully placing it into the fridge so it wouldn't turn too liquid over time.
„Princess, look at the different sprinkles and things we can try, and alpha will clean up quickly." Jimin said gently, washing his hands underneath the faucet after you had
You nodded a little, going over to the large table where the alpha had previously taken out all the different decorations that could be used.
You decided that you liked the white, pearl-like sprinkles the best, along with the pastel-coloured, circular regular ones.
The edible flowers caught your attention, and so, out of everything, you decided to decorate the now-cooling cupcakes with them too.
You showed the alpha, the man, making sure to praise your choice well, claiming that „Those will be so cute together, princess! Great choice; alphas will for sure be very happy!”
And so he helped you put the ones of your choice aside before he started putting all of the other ones away, carefully storing them back in a box.
Soon after, Jimin realised that it would probably be a good idea to have something for lunch, as the earliest of the noon was arriving quickly.
The man looked into the fridge, taking out a few of the leftovers. He would feel much better if he had made you a fresh dish, but that would probably take him quite a while, and he wasn't sure if he would have the time for that.
And so, he soon reheated the stir-fried rice and the chicken popcorn, still left from a bit ago, plating you a good meal.
After handing you a glass of orange juice, he too took a seat and went on to eat.
The alpha, just as usual, fed you mostly himself, choosing the tastiest and best-looking bites of meat to please your taste buds.
„Baby princess here, have a little more." He would say gently, giving you another forkful of rice and feeding you while smiling widely.
„Koji called Jungkookie earlier today; he and Moonsik want to go with you somewhere this afternoon; would you like to go precious?”
Jimin asked you sweetly, having you currently chew on a piece of thinly sliced pickled radish. Your big eyes made him waver a bit; he thought you liked the omega?
„Princess, don't worry, you don't have to go if you don't want to! It's okay, sweetheart-"
„B-But the cupcakes?” You whined softly, a small pout on your lips. Jimin breathed out a little, nervous for a second that you didn't want to go because of something else.
„No, don't worry, princess. We can finish them right after the food, hm? You can go out after, how about that?” Jimin would have to leave soon anyway, and the alpha felt better having you with someone than completely alone.
„O-okay!” You said, a small smile on your lips as the alpha smiled widely himself, pecking your temple gently.
Soon, the lunch was finished, and the alpha loaded the dishwasher after he carefully helped you take out the cupcakes, handing you the icing too.
You sat at the dining table once again, practicing your icing skills on a small part of the tray where there was enough space, while Jimin went to make the call with Moonsik.
You didn't really listen in, going to try and ice your first cupcake, wanting it to be very perfect for the alphas.
It had to be more than perfect, you told yourself, and just as you went to try your best, Jimin approached you, his hand gently combing through your hair.
„Princess, Moonsik Hyung wants to speak with you, baby." The alpha gently chucked, handing you the phone as he gently helped you take the icing from your seemingly too busy hands.
You took the call to your ear, a bit unsure of what you were meant to say, choosing to whisper out an almost inaudible: Hello? 
„Y/N? Hey, it's Moonsik from the mall... How are you?” The beta's voice was velvety and smooth, sweet to your ears. Not as sweet as your oppa's voices, though.
„Hi M-Moonsik, I'm okay...” You said softly, unsurely looking over at the alpha while he wiped down the counter and the table, the man encouraging you with his sweet eyes.
„That's good; I'm glad. Yuki has been asking about you all the time, and he would really like to go somewhere with you again, so maybe if you have time and-”
In the background of the call, you could hear a voice you recognised well—the seemingly always excited and happy omega talking loud enough for it to be audible.
„Is that Y/N? Hyungie, let's talk with her!” The younger whined, and the beta was talking with a hushed voice, saying that he would get to talk to you later.
„I w-would like to g-go please...” You said quietly, a bit nervous about any sudden rejection you might not expect. Though you were met with none, Moonsik answered.
„Okay, great! I'm sure Yuki will be very happy to hear that, and I'm excited too. Let's meet in front of the art store again, like last time. When is the right time for you?”
You weren't sure if the beta expected you to have a packed schedule; though he was very far from right.
You would continue your studies hopefully soon, and you still had that doctor appointment in close time as your heat was coming closer and closer, but other than that...
Your shoulders shrugged unconsciously, not realising that the beta on the other side wouldn't be able to see. You looked over to Jimin; the alpha just took a seat to your right.
„Wh-when should I-I go oppa?” You whispered, hoping that Moonsik wouldn't hear. Considering the voice of Yuki on the other side of the call, the beta had a bit to worry about now.
„Well, I have to go to a photoshoot at 14.00, so I'll have to leave a little bit before that. Do you want to go with someone or alone?” He asked softly, combing through your hair.
You were definitely not ready to go completely on your own; the thought was very overwhelming. You liked Yuki, and you liked Moonsik, but going with them both on your own was quite nerve-wracking.
„Wi-th a-alpha...” You whispered, Jimin noticing how your scent got more anxious and worried and immediately nodding.
„That's okay, princess. Someone will go with you, hm? How about you meet up with them at 14.00?” That was a good hour and a half away, and so you nodded, telling Moonsik about yours and Jimin's suggestion.
Soon after, the meet-up was planned, with the beta saying sweet goodbyes and Yuki in the background excitedly talking about the stores he wanted to go to with you.
You handed the phone back to the alpha, the man gently kissing your temple. And so, you got back to the decorating, making your first swirl with the icing.
„Princess, you are so clever! Alpha is very proud." Jimin gasped softly, watching as you carefully placed the individual pearls and sprinkled the colourful ones.
The alpha helped you take out the edible flowers, letting you find the best spot for each one. You were a natural, and the alpha noticed, making sure to praise you well whenever you finished a cupcake.
He helped you sweetly, taking the finished and decorated cupcakes and putting them into the paper wrappings he took out earlier, gently putting them on a clean, large plate.
Jimin made sure to not mess up any of your cute work; none of the carefully iced sharp tops even touched, and the vanilla butter icing kept clean.
With the star tip, it looked very cute, the alpha came to a conclusion, snapping a few photos of you while you iced.
He didn't get to take many pictures while you both were preparing the batter, but now he had time, and he decided to fill up his whole gallery with you.
And so you decorated prettily, the cupcakes having cute, flowery fairy vibes, maybe reminding you a little bit of wedding cake considering that the icing was only a little bit off white.
You could have coloured it, you realised, but you liked how everything looked, with the small pops of colour adding to it and making everything look pretty.
„Princess, you did so well! Alpha is very happy and proud, my precious baby; that's so nice!” He gushed, taking photos of the cupcakes, claiming that they looked: „Just like from a five-star bakery!”
Jimin was sure that you were a secretly hidden baker, and he was also very sure that when his packmates saw the cupcakes and the cute photos, they would lose their minds.
Soon after, you and the alpha cleaned up, letting the pretty-looking pastries stay on the kitchen table for the packmembers to oogle at and stare at when they would come back to the packhouse sometime that day.
It didn't take too long before it was only about half an hour until 14, and so Jimin helped you tie your shoes properly, having you take on a thick puffer jacket and a beanie, not wanting you to get cold.
„There you go, my princess. 's you stay nice and warm for alphas." He whispered gently, putting on his coat and boots.
The outside weather stayed cold and snowy, and so as the alpha opened the front doors, he held your hand tightly, not wanting you to slip on the ice hidden underneath the snow.
Jimin led you quickly to the garage, choosing one of his cars he would drive today. He took you to the Porsche Panamera, the black, shiny car pretty and obviously expensive.
He unlocked the doors quickly, opening the entrance as he helped you settle in, quickly bending over to buckle you in, and pecking your forehead.
The alpha smiled at you widely for a few seconds, his cheek rubbing up against yours sweetly, before he closed the doors for you and climbed into the driver seat, turning on the heating right away.
The inside of the vehicle was quite cold, and so he held your hands in his for a good few seconds, gently rubbing them with his and breathing on them, warming your icy fingers up.
Soon, the interior got warmer, though, and so when Jimin claimed it was warm enough and your cheeks didn't remind him of ice popsicles when he would touch them anymore, he let the garage doors open and started driving out of the house.
„Princess, what should we listen to, precious baby?” He asked you gently as he looked carefully both ways before he entered the road on his way towards Hybe.
You turned on the touchscreen, going over to the radio and podcast options, unsure what would be better. Jimin glanced over shortly, keeping his eyes on the road.
„At the bottom left are the nice stations that will keep my little 'mega happy and settled, hm? Let's play those, princess."
The alpha said gently, helping you select the right station he has previously bought the subscription for.
Jimin was very happy he got so many opportunities to spoil you, not only in different ways to settle and keep you safe and calm, but in other things too.
To be truthful, he had bought quite a few things for you already. He wasn't about to stop anytime soon; the alpha visited Tiffany & Co. quite often, for he was the brand's ambassador for once, but he liked their jewellery a lot in general.
The alpha has already purchased you a few things, some pretty-looking sets that reminded him of you.
He noticed you didn't have your ears pierced, which made sense to the alpha quite a lot.
Omegas were normally quite sensitive, and to be honest, Jimin couldn't even remember once meeting one that had any piercings.
He didn't mind, though, and was completely content with having you wear whatever was most comfortable and nice for you.
And so, as the soft, lo-fi-like music played through the good sound system of the vehicle, the alpha drove carefully over to the Hybe building.
Jimin let you take his phone when you got bored along the ride, your little fingers grasping the device as you took little photos and videos of the things you were passing by, the snow and sun making everything glittery and pretty.
He couldn't help but coo at you, seeing how excited you were in the background, making sure to keep fully quiet so no noise would disturb your video footage.
You even turned off the radio again, claiming that that wouldn't sound nice in the video, having Jimin giggle lightly.
The alpha soon shushed though, so he wouldn't disturb you, and just drove safely, having you take videos upon videos of the birds sitting on the side roads when they would wait at the red light.
When you arrived at the underground garage, Jimin got out of the car first, carefully pocketing his phone before he went over to you.
Opening the doors, the alpha smiled softly at you, undoing your seatbelt before he tightly zipped up the jacket they got for you, helping you up.
„Here, baby, alpha has got you. Let's go now, hm? Someone is waiting for you already!” He said, wanting you to be surprised by whichever alpha chose to spend your time today with you.
He must have succeeded, as you jiggled your shoulders in excitement, pulling Jimin towards the doors that would lead further into the building.
The alpha chuckled softly, locking up the car before he took your hand, tightly holding it as he kissed the top of your head.
„Let's go then, eager beaver.” He chuckled lightly, opening up the doors with his own keycard, before letting you enter first and calling the elevator.
You bounced on your feet. Not only were you excited to have made the cupcakes with the alpha to surprise the others today, one of them would even go with you to the mall!
And Yuki and Moonsik would be there with you, and that for sure would be great fun, you thought, and so you tugged on Jimin's hand lightly, a sweet whine leaving you.
How much longer was this elevator ride going to take?
The alpha smiled widely, his nose brushing up against your temple and coming over to yours as he gently gave you a bunny kiss.
„Aigoo, princess, don't worry. Not much longer.” He tried to calm you down, smiling softly. Just than did the elevetor ding, arriving to one of the highest levels of the building. 
The doors opened, and when you saw the packmate, waiting right behind them, your smile grew wide, quickly jumping over. 
You hugged the man tightly, the alpha picking you up before he let his chin rub over your hair.
„My sweetest little pup, baby, alpha missed you!” The packalpha gushed, happy to have you in his arms again.

Jin & Grace's lowkey moments...part 1
Tumblr media
Seokjin being interviewed and Taehyung giving instructions on what he should say to the camera during the BANGTAN BOMB of their performance of Butter for Stephen Colbert. After winking and giving a heart to the camera, Seokjin’s ears turned bright red and he turned to look at the mischievous looking boy. “Ya! You can’t say things like that about Grace!”
Taehyung giggled off camera and Seokjin went back to his interview but you could see Grace wander over, wrapping an arm around Tae’s waist and pulling him away. You could hear her in the background say, “You can’t make him say stuff like that about me."
--
At the December 2018 KBS, they played Jin’s Epiphany solo. Jimin got down on one knee and held out his hand to Seokjin who took it with an awkward laugh, spotting Grace coming up behind Yoongi. She caught what was happening and hid a laugh behind her hand, though she soon switched and mockingly glared at Seokjin while motioning with her hand that she had eyes on the pair.
--
Grace had just caught Seokjin hitting Jungkook with the arm of the chair out of the corner of her eye, so she gave him a whack on the arm in retaliation. Fans filming the moment caught Seokjin pouting at the female member who rolled her eyes in return, turning her attention to the stage. The camera caught Seokjin reaching for Grace’s hand, putting a hot pack in it and holding on tight for a moment then letting go. 
He then reached over and brushed a lock of hair away from her face, making sure it didn’t tangle in her earrings. You could see the two mutter something to each other before turning away and returning to watching the stage. 
They were recording a reaction to their debut stage at MCountdown, with Grace sitting in the middle of Jungkook and Yoongi at the back. It was embarrassing to watch them back then, especially the outfits which compared to now, would have been very old school and not what you would find them wearing now. 
When it got to the point of the boys flashing their abs, Jungkook and Yoongi covered Grace’s eyes quickly. “Why are you doing that? I’ve seen all that before,” she laughed as she pushed their hands away. 
“In more ways than one,” Seokjin replied without realising as they watched the screen, causing J-Hope to burst out laughing as he draped himself over the eldest male. 
A couple of ARMY’S pointed out on Twitter how Seokjin would always be the first person to help Grace up the stairs to the stage to accept the award or keep nearby in case she needed a hand down any stairs, even during a performance. They commented on the small smiles between the two and how Soekjin’s hand was never far away from Grace’s or her back. It was evident during the GRAMMY performance when Seokjin had injured his hand that Grace had returned the favour, keep a hand on his arm at all times to keep anyone getting to it. 
During a RUN BTS episode, when they were dealing with clay and Seokjin's clay was growing increasingly *ahem* large, Grace happened to glance over and catch his eye. You could see her mouth 'don't you dare' at him when he went to make a hidden lewd gesture.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 70- Jungkook's Confession
Tumblr media
Chapter Summary: Passion runs high when Jungkook finally makes his move to confess his love to his best friend
Words: 4,000+
Author's Note: I have reread and edited this so many damn times. I get so nervous about this chapter. Like if it was worth the wait and if it would be well received. Like damn 70 chapters to get to this point? But I wanted to focus more on building the friendship and how feelings slowly came about. I hope you enjoy it! We are finally here! This is one of my favs. And mannn Alina Baraz was getting in my feelings when I was listening to her music.
Trust the process. We are almost there! Happy reading :)
------ Finally knocking, the anticipation killed him as he anxiously waited for her to open the door.
He was ready.
No turning back, no regrets. Confess and leave, that was the plan. Nothing more, nothing less. At least that was what he thought would happen tonight.
From Jimin and Taehyung's words about getting carried away, Jungkook didn't think he would. However, being alone in a room with Jennie after telling her his feelings could lead to some tension. He hoped that it wouldn't be anything bad and she'd take his words well. He had a lot of negative thoughts on how she would react. If she would feel awkward and say that she didn't feel the same or if she liked someone else. 
Jungkook needed to push through. This had been building for so long, that he was beginning to wonder if his hyungs' words were true.
Was he going to be able to go by his plan or let his actions speak louder than his words?
Once the door opened, his heart skipped a beat when he was greeted by that smile he loved. Her hair was down, which was something he always adored as it framed her face beautifully. He noticed that she was on her phone, speaking to a friend as she let him in. He also regarded that she was already dressed and ready to leave soon for the airport.
"Yeah, we'll definitely have that sleepover soon," she spoke in her native tongue while Jungkook shut the door behind him. "Hey, Amber, I'll call you when I'm back home, all right? Love you girl!"
After hanging up and putting her phone in her pocket, she turned around, smiling brightly. "Kook! I'm happy to see you!"
"I'm uh...happy to see you, too." he smiled nervously. "You forgot your lotion."
"Ah! I was looking for this! Thank you!" she took it and packed it in her bag. 
Jungkook watched her and smiled softly as she rambled, "I love me some cocoa butter. I would've been so upset if I forgot it. Ah...I can't wait to go home. It's nothing like going back home to see your family and friends, right? I'm very fortunate that Big Hit allowed this. It's going to be pretty busy. A little interview with Billboard and hanging with JRE, I'm super excited. BTS is really moving up and getting that exposure. I believe 2016 will be a great year for us."
"Yeah...I believe so, too."
"So, what's up?" she faced him with a smile.
"I uh, wanted to see you."
"You saw me." she teased. "Came here to game before I leave? I think Tae has the Wii U. I'm sure we can play one quick round."
She always made time for him and never complained. It was something he always appreciated.
Jungkook shook his head and sniffed. "No, not right now. I wanted to speak with you."
"All right. What is it?"
"There's something that I uh, wanted to tell you for a while, now. Something I wanted you to hear at least once from me, personally."
"Spit it out, don't keep me in suspense." she grinned. Jennie couldn't help but notice him looking a little off and her face slowly changed to concern as she spoke again, "Hey...you good?"
Jungkook tilted his head to the side before rubbing the back of his neck. "Th-there's something that I've been trying to tell you for a long time now,"
His nervousness came back at the worst time. He was already stumbling over his words. He needed to keep himself composed and not mess this opportunity up.
"There's that look again," she called out. "Just like when I told you that you looked like you needed to say something important. What do you need to tell me? You know you can tell me anything."
"I-I know but this has been harder than I thought it would be. And I know you're about to leave and this is going to be terrible timing but..." he exhaled and shook his head. "But I won't chicken out, anymore. No more getting nervous. I need to say what I need to say to you...I can't bear to let you hear this from someone other than me when almost everyone knows but you."
"What are you talking about?"
"I was wondering when I'd be man enough to finally tell you how I feel...about us. Our friendship. Everything. I know this isn't going to be perfect or like I planned out in my head countless times but I can't hold this in, anymore. I've watched from afar for too long and I can't help but think if I don't say this now, I'll be too late." he paused, letting out a shaky breath. "What I'm about to tell you is going to be extremely selfish. But I need you to know."
Jennie watched him. He was acting so weird, just what was the problem?
"Kook, I think you're freaking out over nothing. What can you possibly say to me that is making you this nervous? Just say it." she laughed lightly, trying to lighten the mood.
Jungkook hesitated, looking down at his feet. Jennie, deciding not to pry, waited for him to speak again with a patient smile. Whatever was on his mind, was clearly serious.
Before he knew it, the words slipped out of his mouth as he met her gaze.
"I can't think of you as a friend, anymore."
As he predicted, her face slowly fell and her lips parted in shock. The entire room went silent as he watched her try to comprehend what he just told her. It felt like minutes went past before he eventually heard her speak.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she stuttered, "Wh-what?"
"I can't think of you as a friend, anymore," he repeated.
"What?" she responded incredulously.
"I can't...see myself as your friend."
Did he mean he didn't want to be friends, anymore? Or did he mean...
"I-I think Jimin and Taehyung hit you a little too hard while you were play fighting-"
"My mind is here and made up. I don't want to just be friends, anymore, Jennie."
She looked at him, puzzled. "...why?"
"Because I...I want more than what we have," he said softly.
"Kook..." she said, slowly shaking her head. "...don't go there..."
"I need to go there. We're not kids, anymore. I can't just stand here while other guys are considering asking out the girl that I want to be mine. I can't just stand here and not tell you how much I want you. I can't just stand here and not say how you make me feel."
Jennie's stomach had dropped as soon as he said that. She had been trying to avoid any type of feelings for him for months. She thought she managed to get over them but now he comes by and says this to her, screwing up those plans? Taking her off guard and he says this when she is minutes away from going to the airport?
"Don't play with me," she murmured in a tight, shaky voice, waiting for him to say that this was a prank.
He was not going to do this to her like this. Not when she was about to leave. He was not going to drop this on her, right now. This wasn't funny. 
As she waited, that same serious expression was on his face and she realized that he wasn't joking.
"Kook?" she called out nervously as he kept his head up high. "Jungkook...you have no idea how much our friendship means to me,"
"I'm fully aware."
"You're fully aware? Then why are you...why are you...Kook we...I..." she hesitated and looked away. "We can't-"
"Don't do that." he interrupted softly.
"...do this...this shouldn't happen, Kook."
"Is that your doubts in your head or your heart speaking?" he questioned firmly. "I've been observing you for the last couple of months. And thinking back to the day we kissed under that mistletoe...how you act around me ever since you told me you had a weird dream about a friend...how you were looking at me during Season's Greetings...how jealous you were when we went to the costume store in America and those girls were flirting with me...how you act with me compared to other guys, it just makes me believe that this isn't one-sided. And it kind of makes me think that you want me just as much as I want you. Maybe deep down...you want me more than you think."
She couldn't bring herself to reply to that, tongue-tied as she averted her eyes. It was like he just punched the wall she was trying to hold up between them.
But was he right? 
Did she want him just as much, if not more than him? After all this time?
Jungkook noticed that she hadn't disregarded anything he had said, and it gave him the confidence to continue to speak.
"Your heart is racing, isn't it? And you're feeling all these crazy emotions? Do you feel confused? Maybe a little scared? I'm feeling that way, too. It's weird, I know. I thought this was a little crush and I'd get over it after a few weeks, but no. My feelings for you have only gotten stronger." he went on. "Do you have any idea how you make me feel? Do you have any idea how much I am...deeply in love with you?"
'Jungkook...' she thought, overwhelmed as tears began to develop in her eyes.
It was like she couldn't even breathe. How can he be in love with her? 
Why her?
"Every day I beat myself up for taking this long to finally tell someone as special as you that I want you to be mine. I want to kiss you. I want to cuddle with you. I want to take my time with you and show you how wanted and amazing you are. I want to go on dates with you. I want to have disagreements with you and work through them together. I want to wear matching outfits with you and surprise you with smarties. I want to see you in my white shirts and other clothes that are clearly too big for you but you would make them look cute."
Tears streamed down her face and she quickly wiped them away. Why did he have to say this now when she was about to leave?
"I want to be as cheesy as we can possibly be together, and I even want you to be my Pepper Potts while I am your Tony Stark. And as much as I love Tony...I'll even be your Captain America again if you asked me to. But as long as you promise me that you'll dress up as Iron Man, one day. I can see your reaction now, the cutest thing." he chuckled at the thought, glancing at the floor for a moment.
Looking back up, he added, "And the smiles that you give me are the cutest thing I ever seen. I even get a little jealous when you smile that way with other guys because I want that specific smile all to myself."
'Kook...please...' she begged in her head. 
She wanted to get out of the room because everything that he was telling her began to overwhelm her and it was too much for her heart to handle.
"You have this...adorable habit of scrunching your nose which I love. Your eyes sparkle when someone mentions Smarties, Ailee, or Nike, too. And I meant what I said back when we ate lamb skewers for the first time. Your black skin is beautiful. Always. And as I see us dating, I think about the playfights we'll have together. The debates about Iron Man and Captain America. And I know it was me you were dreaming about."
That prompted her to look at him in surprise. 
How'd he find out? 
Was it her body language? 
Did she make it that obvious? 
But like he said, he had been observing her for a while, putting the puzzle pieces together. She felt her cheeks flush at the dream she had tried to put behind her.
"I have those dreams about you, too," he admitted as she proceeded to look at him in surprise. "You were who I was talking about when we spoke about the dream in your studio. You were the one I was thinking about when I said that she'll know I'm far from being a baby behind closed doors. So, when we get serious and when we are ready...I want to be your first in other ways besides being your first boyfriend. Showing you what I'm capable of. Showing you how special you are to me. Only if you'd let me."
'Give me the strength...' she thought while exhaling as his words stuck in her head.
There were so many women who were head over heels for him. But come to find out he only wanted her? And after all this time she finds this out?
"I even want to act dorky together, show you memes, and play video games with you, too," he added. "All of this, and more that I want to do, not as your friend. But your boyfriend. As the guy that is in love with you."
He slowly approached her and grabbed her hands, holding them as he gazed down at her with teary eyes.
"Every time I see you, do you have any idea how hard it is to not kiss you? That seeing you smile makes my day 100 times better? Do you realize how happy I get when I am the one who brings that cute smile to your face? How jealous I get when guys give you more attention than usual and I have more competition?"
Seeing him gaze at her like this made her heart flutter. Her skin felt hot as he gently held her hands. This was too much to take.
"I can't even explain it but you just make me so happy when I'm with you. I feel like myself when I'm with you," he went on. "You always encouraged me and never gave up on me no matter how much I become frustrated when I don't sing like I want to or when I don't dance like I want to. You are always there. It's always been you. It's insane how one person can make you so happy and bring such joy to your heart. And that person that does that to me is you."
After a moment of silence, he squeezed her hands, murmuring, "Please...talk to me. Say something."
She hesitated and released his hands. Turning around, she walked away from him to collect her thoughts.
Not every day your best friend shows up out of the blue to pour their heart out to you.
The tension started to become too much for her as her emotions were all over the place. The atmosphere, being alone in the room with him, she didn't know how much more she could take.
Turning around, she spoke, "I am about to go home and you really are going to tell me this, now?"
"Yes."
"Now? What are you doing?"
"Something I should've done a long time ago."
"I...I don't...understand, I just...you can't just...you...you can't just say things like that. You can't just say things like that when you know I am about to leave."
"I just did," he responded softly. "I meant every word and I'm not taking it back. I'm sorry I waited this long but I needed you to hear it just once. Bad timing and all."
"And what about the fans? I really don't want to be the cause of us losing fans. Backlash and all, I don't want to put you through that mess. I don't want to put you through that stress. All that drama on Bangtan and Big Hit, let's just..." she exhaled shakily and blinked her tears away. "L-look, I really think that we should just stay professional, okay? So just...please..."
"With you being alone with me in this room and the way you are looking at me, I doubt you just want to stay professional." Jungkook caught her in her explanation as she avoided eye contact yet again.
He caught her red handed. She couldn't deny it, he saw right through it. Jennie wanted to kick herself for how obvious her nervousness was becoming as he called her out on everything.
"You really want to go through all of that? All for me? What if you regret it?" she asked, managing to look back at him. "Dating me. I always used to think about that when it came to dating here. Like if someone would still want to hold my hand in public or if they would feel embarrassed to be seen with me because of who I am. Because I'm not their ideal type in this area. And then some of my family members are always nagging about when I'll date a black guy and stay within my race but it's like...it's just...it's overwhelming and annoying. It could be a whole mess if something goes wrong."
"What we have will overcome the drama. Us against the world? I'm standing next to you through it all. You deserve all the love you're getting," he declared. "They can try to do whatever they can to divide us but it won't work. I refuse to let that happen. I'm going to be right here, okay? I promise. And those fans we'll lose are not real fans of Bangtan, just closed-minded people. I want to do what makes me happy. Being around you makes me happy and making you mine will make me happy. Only if you'd let me."
The tension was starting to become unbearable for Jennie. She felt like needed to get out of this room, ASAP. The way his words made her feel emotions she never felt before, the way he was looking at her, the way she tried not to glance at his lips, the way he looked so good in that white shirt of his, everything made her want to do something that she felt like she shouldn't.
"It won't be a mess with you and me," Jungkook assured. "So, no more ifs when it comes to us. Being in love with you has been my biggest contentment. I have no regrets when it comes to you and I never will if you become mine."
He was so persistent. He had an answer to every single one of her apprehensions. She was desperately losing the battle to resist these feelings.
'Why is he making this harder for me?' she thought.
Jungkook could see that she was about to crack. She couldn't dodge this forever. The way she was looking at him, he knew and based on their heightened emotions, she could snap before he did. He was so close to snapping himself as he kept glancing at her lips.
"Just...just give me one...one good reason why I shouldn't just kiss you, right now and show you how I feel." he courageously requested.
His bold statement caused her to widen her eyes.
Kiss?
In Jungkook's mind, the only good reason he thought of was if she said she didn't feel the same way. She was right where he wanted her and it was only a matter of time before she was unable to resist. The wall she had between them was cracking fast.
One more punch and the wall will break.
Truth be told, she couldn't find a good reason. She was just scared on the inside as she thought about the idea of giving someone her heart. Being vulnerable with someone.
Would it work? 
Him and her together? 
Dating her best friend? 
Would anything change if they date? Will they be able to keep things on the low to ensure the public does not know about them until they are ready to announce it?
"Jennie, I am not letting anyone change my mind on how I feel about you. No media, no ARMY, no one will change how I feel. And if ARMY really loves Bangtan like they always say, they will accept that I love you and support us. I refuse to let anything, or anybody try to take what we have. A relationship is between two people. I want a relationship with just you and me. No media, no rumors, no negativity, none of that but just us. I've seen so many couples get ruined because of that and I refuse to let our relationship follow that path. I love you too much to let something like that take you away from me."
That was love right there. Jen couldn't deny that. Everything he had said was something that she had always wanted. 
This was real.
"This was what you meant...this was what you wanted to tell me that would change our friendship. All this time...it was me," she confirmed, turning her back to him. "All those talks we had...all those comments that I remember you saying...the random stares I get from other idols when you are around me...those weird feelings I get when we get so close...all because of this. What are you doing to me? Why? Just..." 
Watching her, he began to slowly make his way to her, step by step. He heard her stop rambling and felt her tremble when his firm chest was against her back. As he slowly wrapped his arms around her, Jen's heart rate quickened. She felt a sense of security in his arms and even though she enjoyed being like this, her mind continued to have an endless battle between staying in his arms or escaping.
"You can't think of a good reason, can you?" he asked.
After he said her name against her ear, it was game over because her body reacted on its own by turning around to look up at him. Before she could get a word in, he gently cupped her face and kissed her sweetly like he had something to prove. His nose had bumped into hers and he tilted his head to the side while his soft lips caught her by surprise.
Unable to fight it anymore, she gave in, kissing back as she closed her eyes.
Tumblr media
It was like Jungkook became a new person. He couldn't control himself, he had to kiss her. He wasn't that little boy, any more and was determined to let her know that he loved and wanted her.
She felt his hands slowly move down to wrap his arms around her body as she held onto him and placed a hand on the back of his head. Jennie then placed her hands on his firm chest and deliberately ran her hands down.
As much as she was enjoying this, her mind continued to go crazy with various thoughts.
'I shouldn't be doing this...but this feels right...but he's my best friend...but his lips feel so right on mine...but we've been friends for so long...but maybe this was meant to be...why don't I want to this end?'
Feeling her slowly pulling away, Jungkook firmly grabbed her back by her hips to pull her against him. She let out a gasp before being silenced by his lips as he deepened the kiss.
As they kissed repeatedly, she felt everything that he was feeling while she wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him show her how he felt. As the kissing intensified, she let out a soft moan. He was so gentle as he caressed her, making her shiver. She felt like she was high as her heart proceeded to pound.
This just wasn't fair. After all this time trying to avoid this, she found herself in his arms. But her heart didn't want to be anywhere else.
After pulling away, Jungkook soon looked down and shook his head. "I'm sorry, I got carried away."
Part of him felt guilty for going this far. He didn't mean to kiss her so suddenly. He didn't mean to kiss her at all. That was not a part of the plan tonight. He just wanted to confess and leave but his heart had other plans. Something in him just couldn't let her leave without showing her how he felt.
Was this what his Hyungs meant? 
That emotions will run high and you'll get carried away?
"What was I thinking?" he thought out loud, shaking his head.
Abruptly, Jennie grabbed him by the hand when he was about to turn around, exclaiming, "Wait!" as they both looked surprised by what she had done.
Jungkook glanced down at their hands and back at her. She immediately let go of his hand and tried to think of an explanation while his gaze on her intensified.
That assuredly changed his mind. 
Looks like he didn't ruin anything after all.
Jennie was flustered at what she had just done. She didn't know what had gotten into her to grab him so suddenly. Various questions swarmed her mind. 
Why did she stop him? Why is his stare so enticing? Why did she have the desire to kiss him again? Why does he look so damn good, tonight? Why is she thinking of her best friend like this?
Before any of them could speak, they heard a loud ring and vibration. They realized it was Jennie's phone in her pocket and she took it out. She was actually waiting for Sejin to call her so he could take her to the airport, but it wasn't him. It was one of her friends who wanted to catch up.
Something changed in Jungkook's demeanor which caused him to gently grab her hand. 
"Don't answer it." he took the phone.
Rejecting the call, he immediately put it on airplane mode and tossed it on the bed.
"Everyone is always interrupting. Ruining any type of alone time I have with you," he spoke. "But not anymore. They can wait. This time just focus on us."
And she did as she spontaneously grabbed him by his shirt to pull him in for another kiss. It briefly shook him that she took the lead so suddenly. She then walked forward until his back was against the wall.
'Wow.' he thought in wonder. 
His curiosity grew and he decided to let her do whatever she wanted to him. When she grabbed him, it confirmed everything that Jungkook had said. He knew she wanted to stay like this. He felt everything and enjoyed her hands wandering all over him with no shame as she pressed up against him.
Jennie allowed herself to be vulnerable. No more walls between them. Each time they kissed, it was like they were kissing to make up for all those moments of emotions building. The doubts and hesitation went away. She relished the closeness and felt euphoric when she was with him.
Jungkook flipped their position easily when he promptly turned them around. A thump was heard when her back connected to the wall. She had her moment of leading, now it was time to resume where he left off. She soon felt his warm breath against her ear. 
"You're mine." she heard him say in English.
That statement made her shiver as her heart fluttered.
After pulling back to look at her, he gently lifted her chin to close the gap to kiss her deeply again as their eyes closed. All that was on his mind was her as he felt her hold onto him tightly. After all this time, he was finally able to kiss her the way he wanted. With no cameras around, with no one to interrupt them. 
They were alone. Together.
Their kissing got so passionate that Jen's knees began to feel weak. She had mentally prepared for the embarrassment of dropping to the floor but Jungkook bent down slightly with his hands under her thighs. He effortlessly hoisted her up as she said his name breathlessly and wrapped her legs around his waist. He didn't want her to go anywhere. She wasn't going to slip away when they were alone like this.
As he held her, he thought about how right it felt and how she fit right into his hands. As he kissed her, he thought about how her lips felt right on his.
Jennie completely underestimated him. She didn't think he would do all of this. And she didn't want him to stop what he was doing as she found herself enjoying this position, being pinned against the wall by him. Being kissed so sweetly like this.
Restricted by his large body and broad shoulders, she took his beanie off, dropped it to the floor, and ran a hand through his soft hair. One of her hands soon caressed his cheek as he continued to kiss her with determination to show her that his feelings were real. She continued to kiss him with the same amount of emotion.
Was this love?
Everything that she was feeling?
This unexplainable happiness?
Losing track of time, she noticed she was slowly getting set down. They both were catching their breath as their chests rose up and down heavily. Jen was so speechless at what they had done, that she couldn't move.
'You're mine.' she thought about his words as the butterflies in her stomach came back tenfold.
Jungkook pressed a forearm over her head and looked at her, lovingly. His face felt flushed from their previous actions but he was proud that he finally told and showed her how he felt.
"I don't want you to give me an answer now. We're emotional and I know you are about to leave," he said. "I want to hear it from you to confirm it. So, take all the time you need to think about this. I'll wait for your answer when you come back. I just needed to get this off my chest. If you say no, I'll understand. I would never force you to be with me. I'll still cherish you as my friend because I love you that much. But if you say yes to me, I'll be the best boyfriend you'll ever have,"
He removed his forearm and gently cupped her face. 
"I love you," he whispered in English and kissed her softly one last time before leaving the room.
Leaning against the wall, Jen stood there, stunned for a few minutes, trying to grasp what just happened and what she had just done with her best friend. 
Trying to understand what had gotten into her to do all that she did as she thought about her feelings.
She put her fingertips on her lips, reminiscing on the kisses he had given her, and let out a breath. Sliding down on the wall, she sat on the floor with her knees against her chest and pushed her hair back with her hands.
'I love you...' was the only thought on her mind.
What was she going to do?

Hello,
Not to be that person but I feel like you don't talk about how Jimin is also packing..like even the recent run episode where they do flying yoga, it's so noticeable. Behind the scenes of their Butter music video too, he be dangling. Out of all the members he seems to be really good at tucking it in to be honest. like that set me free dance practice, Jimin was showing. I couldn't stop staring haha..
Anon wdym? I talk about the Jimcock all the time.
Tumblr media
Here u go.
Another here
And here. I mean, look at this thing. Our man is definitely packing. Youtube link here for a clearer view
And here is the SMF Jimcock you're talking about. He will forever be iconic 🍆
Here he is dressed in white thus giving us a clear view 😝
I clipped the Jimcock from Own it dance practice here. Oh, he's packing.
You also see it here
And you definitely see it here
Here it is again
And please... please lets never forget the wave the wave is fucking iconic.
I felt a bit guilty about where my eyes were on this clip seeing as OP is talking about how cute Mimi is. But my eyes had other plans. 🤷🏽‍♀️
It's the fact that this lucky lady has her head right on the Jimcock.
Of course we have that one award show
Another award show if you don't have TT here is a screenshot
Tumblr media
That one TT he did. Y'all already know where to find it
Tumblr media
Look, Jimin is packing too, alright? Let's never forget. JK wasn't having a hard time on his birthday and ITS for nothing.
The difference is, Jimin knows how to contain the Jimcock and so we don't see it as often. Also Jimin is thick while JK's is long. Jimin's boyfriend has a donkey dick that he likes to wave around everywhere. So its kinda hard not to notice the Jungkonda when its right there. I mean this man was racing like this. He cray cray!!! So yes, Jungkonda comes up more. But make no mistake; BOTH members of the Park-Jeon house are blessed.

My medical self-advocacy post is making the rounds again, and lots of people have been asking for tips and tricks, most ESPECIALLY on how to advocate in a normal doctor's office.
That's an excellent question because your doctors can take on a lot of beauracratic and/or insurance issues for you. *Should they happen to like you as a patient enough to do so.* Yes, it is a popularity contest and you can win.
So here is my (sage) advice.
No matter where you are on this blue marble or what doctor you're seeing, a majority of your care will most likely be seen to by nurses. They will probably be both the first and last person you deal with. And THEY can be some of your best resources and advocates and medical office gossips. They are worth more than gold.
Tip #1: If possible, try NEVER to be the first or last patient of the day (if you're in the hospital, this isn't as relevant except to say try not to go at the end of a shift). We're all human. We're all tired. And medical personnel are even more so. If you go before the coffee has fully hit, or when they are packing up to go home, you are inevitably going to be left in a situation where no one has a full HP bar. Try for midmorning appointments if your situation in life and health permits. Again, with hospitals, it's different. Do not endanger your health further, but if you can wait for a shift change, go at the beginning of one.
Tip #2: Remember how I said nurses are gold? If you are pleasant to them, they will go the extra mile for you, because they are tired as hell of assholes, literally and figuratively. And they can make the process much easier all the way down to getting the doctor to actually listen to you. How does one accomplish wooing the ACTUAL important person in the office? It's actually quite easy. The following has worked for me 100% of the time.
When you encounter the nurse, be it them collecting you from the waiting room, or stepping in to take your vitals and notes for the reason for your visit, often they will say something along the lines of "hi, how are you?" Or even just, "my name is Awesome Person and I'm Doctor Tough Nut's nurse/assistant/underpaid servant."
Even if they say nothing at all besides a simple "hello," you greet them in your most pleasantly business tone with the following statement (please memorize and practice until it feels natural)
"Hi! My name is (name). I hope your day is going, to quote international Korean pop star group BTS, 'smooth like butter.'"
100% whether they know what the fuck you're referencing or not, they will be endeared to you. Perhaps they will even smile. And then, my friends, you will have the most valuable bedside person in the medical field on your team to help you.

040723 Billboard
BTS’ SUGA Returns as Agust D to Tackle Loneliness, Humanity & Being Acknowledged
Back under his solo moniker, SUGA is feeling two decades of songwriting and producing connect universally: "We're finally getting recognized as musicians."
Most famously known as SUGA from BTS — but also by the solo moniker Agust D, as well as birth name Min Yoongi — the artist who works as a rapper, singer, producer, dancer, fashion muse and NBA ambassador wants to remind listeners that, above all, he is a human.
Today, April 7, marks the return of Agust D, the name SUGA uses when releasing solo projects away from BTS, with the new single “People Pt.2” featuring K-pop superstar IU. Not only does it mark the duo’s latest collaboration after teaming for the No. 1 hit on Billboard‘s World Digital Song Sales chart “eight” from May 2020, it also acts as an extension from “People,” a fan-favorite cut from Agust D’s D-2 mixtape released that same month. While the original “People” saw SUGA reflecting on himself and meditating on how others judge and change, Part 2 longs for connection with others.
As multifaceted as SUGA’s world is, loneliness is a permanent source of inspiration and intrigue for the 30-year-old. Hours before “People Pt.2” drops worldwide, his call with Billboard occurs alongside multiple international teams who work around the clock for SUGA and BIGHIT MUSIC artists. Some are beside him physically, others via Zoom connection virtually — but loneliness remains a muse for the star, assisting him in searching within and speaking to listeners in larger, universal ways.
Since its debut, BTS’ musical appeal has reached globally largely through the septet’s extended metaphors and imagery, translating into accessible storytelling alongside boundary-pushing compositions and choreography. SUGA’s range of material is vast, after producing on essentially every BTS album, not to mention scoring high-profile collaborations with everyone from Halsey and Juice WRLD to Epik High and Japan’s ØMI. But now, he’s emphasizing the topics that move him personally — and ensuring he’s properly heard.
Despite an already packed spring and summer with album promo, his solo world tour, ambassadorship duties and a YouTube series, SUGA cheekily closes out our chat (“Yeah, it’s f–king busy,” he says with a wink) since he has no time to waste. Read on as he narrows in on the release of “People Pt.2” and all that’s led up to this reflective pop/hip-hop collaboration.
We’re hours away from the release of “People Pt.2,” your official return as Agust D for your D-Day album. Is there a different mindset when you prepare music as Agust D versus solo or as SUGA alongside BTS?
SUGA: They’re all music made by the person called Min Yoongi. So, I don’t actually have a very different mindset for each moniker — but I would say that the purposes could be somewhat different. Ultimately, the goal of releasing this music is for as many people to listen to my music as possible. So, “People Pt.2” was made thinking about how people will receive Agust D’s music, which is why we also featured IU. It’s kind of a trial to release this music under the name Agust D. I’m actually a little bit worried.
“People Pt.2” (featuring IU) of course follows up “People” from the D-2 mixtape. What was important about continuing this story with IU?
This is a story that you’ll personally love: The title wasn’t originally “People Pt.2.” Actually, “People” from D-2 is personally my favorite song — and we actually worked on “People Pt.2” three years ago. When I was releasing my pictorial [Photo-Folio Wholly or Whole Me] photo shoot, the company actually revealed the guide [demo] version and gave a glimpse of it to the public. But anyway, it was already finished when we were working on D-2 so I was thinking, “Oh, I should release this, I should release this.” But we had to get on with “Butter” and “Dynamite” so we didn’t get the chance.
Originally, the title was “Sara (사라),” without the “M (ㅁ)” consonant in Korean — because that’s, like, one consonant less than the word “saram (사람),” which is Korean for “people.” Depending on whichever consonant you put at the end of the word sara (사라), it can become “saram (사람)” and “people,” or it can become “sarang 사랑,” or “love” in Korean. So, it’s the listener’s choice to put which consonant you want at the end of “sara” (사라). But I had my friend listen to this son and people heard it as “sal-ah (살아)” which kind of means “live” in Korean and I was like, “This is not going to work.” So, we finalized the title to be “People” in the end.
And some people call me August D, some people call me Ah-gust D, but I’m actually Agust D. So, you know, people take my name differently and we had to sync the person SUGA and Agust D. This is a song that kind of matches that sync. We need that bridge and sync between my mixtape and this official solo album. In order to put that sync together, I had to make this a very pop song. We didn’t try to make the music video that intense — and, in that sense, IU really played an important role in doing that. I also think this is a genre that I can do best, this pop-focused song.
There’s this sync between songs, but the themes and lyrics are very different, right? “People” was self-reflective and examined other people’s judgments, but “People Pt.2” seems more about connection and fighting loneliness. What most differentiates the two in your mind?
In the past — and I’ve always said this in my interviews — personally, I think loneliness is being together in modern society. I always talk about loneliness in my interviews, but regretfully, it isn’t always in the final interview. Not only me, everyone has this loneliness inside them until the moment they die. However deep you are in a relationship, how much you engage with other people, how many friends you meet, or how often you meet with your family, you always have the loneliness inside.
So, I started with this keyword of “loneliness” three years ago, and I wouldn’t say there’s much difference in that everybody can feel pain and agonized. It’s the same with me. Whether it’s me from BTS, SUGA, Min Yoongi, or Agust D, I always have that inside me too. People might see me as someone who wouldn’t have any concerns or worries or that I don’t feel any agony, but I feel those emotions too. I’m trying to find a way to fight those and overcome those too.
This album doesn’t really finalize everything in its message either. So, there might be a possibility there could be a “Part 3” later on. For now, we’re just trying to say, “Let’s not hate each other. Let’s find a way.”
I like that — because even in the Road to D-Day documentary trailer, there’s a moment you say you frequently consider quitting music. But when people come together, it makes you realize you can do it and have fun. Does this tie into themes of “People Pt.2”?
This is kind of a difficult topic, because I started making music and writing lyrics [when] I was 11 or 12 years old. I’ve been making music for all these years, and now I’m 30. It wasn’t easy writing “People Pt.2,” and the album overall, but people really don’t know the whole process of that. Even though I’d been making music more than half of my life — and I’m just saying this because you understand this, Jeff — when we first started in the K-pop scene, we were in this ambiguous position of not being accepted as musicians and not being accepted as idols either. But the musicians close to me know that I’m very serious and sincere in music and that I’m a very natural person.
So, the documentary started as I just wanted to capture and show this process. It started with the purpose of showing SUGA as a producer and songwriter, but it kind of ended up having the worldview of an album-making process. I tried to show the normal, individual side of me as much as possible, but as I am a Korean idol, or K-idol, a lot of scenes were edited out; there were more of those natural scenes and some very good scenes that couldn’t make it in the final version. The documentary and “People Pt.2” try to reveal the natural side of the human Min Yoongi. I just wanted to show that I am this humane person. I am just a human.
You need to release your “Director’s Cut” one day. While D-Day and the documentary are coming, I want to congratulate you on the worldwide release of D-2 and Agust D this week. My favorite song, “Agust D” with the sample of “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” was finally added to streaming too. You shared how J. Cole approved BTS’ “Born Singer” sample, what can you share about the process with James Brown‘s estate?
I released Agust D when I was still very young, so, even as I listen to it now, it kind of sounds immature — if you listen to the tone, the rap itself wasn’t very organized, I wanted to do a lot of things at that time. It just kind of keeps going very tightly and quickly. But after doing so much various and diverse music, I think that people love the songs that have been released more recently than the songs that were released back then. So, I kind of dare say that people are starting to recognize and acknowledge these songs now. Since the musician actually passed away, I think it was the family who decided to acknowledge it.
Same thing with [clearing] “Born Sinner” — and I don’t know what the path was for the musician themselves, but it was clear. And I take it as that I, as BTS, and Min Yoongi, and SUGA, and Agust D, was acknowledged as a musician. I’m really not thinking that broader consumers or audiences will accept it, because it’s not really popular music. Still, I would dare assume that it’s getting cleared because we’re finally getting recognized as musicians.

Welcome :3
Annyeonghaseyo! Welcome to my blog :) I'm Rae and a current studier in Korean and a k-pop fanatic! I'm an army (bias is Suga) and a huge fan of k-pop Whispers on Pinterest (I dont want to go on the actual app, Whisper, I mean, have you seen what is on there :0) but yeah...I post opinions and hopefully relatable stuff about k-pop and bts while sharing my viewpoint on k albums and more. Feel free to re-post my stuff on different social medias (just so long as you give credit!) but apart from that, that's basically it!
What I post; (a guide): -Opinions on albums, controversies and flaring arguments within the BTS inner circle -Reblogs that I think are important or truth speaking -Theories about ships within BTS, Yoonmin, Taekook and Namjin to be more specific as well as individual works. Most I relay or refer to first hand analyzations from YT or sometimes (if not rarely), Pinterest. I always credit the original interpreters. -Opinion/general posts about being aspec CURRENT THEORIES I HAVE DOWN PACK HERE: >Jimin, like crazy dance theory and analysis (all first hand info used)< (Dance analysis link is found here) >Jimin, Filter performance and lyrics theory and analysis (first hand info and my take are both used)< >Jimin, controversial tattoo he once wore (ties in with the filter performance)< (Both the tattoo and song analysis link is found here) >Suga VLOG D-DAY tour in Phuket (contains Yoonmin!)< (Link is here) >Jimin, like crazy short analysis (clothing theory)<; (Link is here)
The inline links have moved in the sentence so lets just forget that shall we? -Comments about the war in Palestine as we speak (they DO NOT deserve the harsh impact from Israel during this time or EVER)
(Facts about me that I have been meaning to write but I've been busy):
I discovered BTS during lockdown 2020 through their song "dynamite" on Youtube. I was a mainstream listener at the time and chose to listen to the radio during the years 2015-2018 before gravitating towards Spotify and Youtube instead. I saw it trending on YT and without even meaning to, it ended up on my "up next" queue and began to play right after I think it was one of Ava Max's songs? Anyway, when I changed tabs to see what song was playing, I immediately stopped and sat there, watching a boy with dark brown hair drink from a cup of milk and dance in his bedroom. And then more started to appear with funky moves and happy expressions, the song built up and at the chorus...I knew I was hooked lol I thought of it weird at first, as I don't think I've ever seen such a thing in my whole life (even knowing that before 2020, they were breaking records without me noticing) but after putting it on a loop, I could'nt stop.
I became an ARMY three years later (earlier this year) which I know, is quite late :/ I wasn't tuned in to the rest of their music around that time so I didn't discover more of their songs (which I now regret) but I've been so wrapped around them, that I haven't been able to put them down lately. I do not have any IRL friends who are ARMY and the closest one to it is a Blink :/ She isn't a toxic one, but she only knows Dynamite and Butter so I can't really hold a discussion about BTS with her. The rest of my friends either hate them or just don't care, and the worst thing, is that I can't even be expressive with it because I know they'll hate me for it. I don't know why ARMIES, let alone k-pop stans have to be hated for just liking what you adore in this world. I mean, is it really that much of a crime to like a genre of music that brings you joy?
I'm a member of the LGBTQ, Aro-ace to be more specific and I proudly stand by it. I've come to my senses now that there is a line between being close friends and dating, which I do not cross because of all the times I've "liked" someone, it's always been mistaken for being good friends. And as for being Ace, I just don't like intimate relationships at all.
I'm an infj-a!

but also we know the grammys dont care about music but if it really was about it then butter wouldnt be nominated or jb’s song like ?? we know the music industry isnt just about music so hybe is rlly investing in the grammys, wonder what devil packs they had to sign to just get the nomination, i mean they’re working with scooter 🤡 cuz like we all know the grammys are xenophobic and are a western show that focuses only on western music, but bts def deserve a grammy and since the grammys dont rlly care about music, butter could’ve won as well. But im still very happy kiss me more won. fingers crossed bts will win their first grammy for a korean song hehe

funny enough ive been diving back into other artists (kinda stopped listening to others besides bts for the past 2 yrs kinda wild) but i love r&b, so ive been listening to 90s/early 2000s r&b again cus thats my bread and butter. but im also listening to todays r&b artists like dvsn, rn listening to his song "conversations in a diner" i like the idea that in a noisy diner, all the matters is just u & that person at the end of the day. but tbh even if its not bts i love korean music in general. i love bibi - very slowly (from 2521's soundtrack) makes me want to fall in love with someone ~very slowly~ 🥺
this is so interesting! i’m checking out that dvsn song right now and ohhhh my god it’s making me super 90s/00s nostalgic so i get what you mean. i like his voice! the vibes of this song is great and i love the choir. i like really quiet tunes like this that still pack a punch if that makes sense. thanks for answering my question :)
