#kev's boyfie x

[whysojiminimnida]

AND THEN JUNG HOSEOK SAID --

"Oh, Jimin left him at home." I DIED Y'ALL. SEVERAL TIMES. Also the entire photo section of this post will consist of pictures of my cat Yoongi and the shit he has gotten in the mail recently. Yoongi has a new toy named Jack. Make of that what you will. ANYWAY.

He's gonna burn it down, burn it all down. SO WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS -- I was in Florida and I had a little emergency hospital visit which was unplanned. There was also a Jimin's birthday and a whole ass Busan concert and a Live and a military enlistment announcement which: I can't talk about that. I CAN'T. So don't ask me. And I had an otherwise lovely time and got home to one Very Cranky Oppa, Kevin having been informed of my "Oh Shit Here We Go Again With This Bullshit" thing. Man was mad. Like, hovering mad. All up in my business and stuff. We love Kevin From Itaewon, okay, and we are also being very, very kind to him and to his boyfie X FOREVER. Not just because Park Jimin was in X's apartment but also for that reason. And there was a day recently when Kevin called to grouch at me. There were all the days, really. He's been on his oppa shit for a solid month. But this one day it was midday my time so ASS O'CLOCK in Seoul. Kev was staying at X's because Kevin's place is in Itaewon and Very Awful Things have been going on there. You know I told you Kev and X maintain two residences? Turns out that has been one small blessing in that whole ass nightmare over there. But at Kevin's house you don't often hear the tinkling of a GIGGLING PARK JIMIN IN THE NEXT ROOM. And he was not alone.

When Jimin said my name I thought he said "Hello Jewelry" and I was about to offer him my grandmother's wedding set and my mom's tennis bracelet. But instead I said "Hi Jimin-ssi saranghaeyo" and "Hi Hobi-nim saranghae!" and they were very kind. And then I was asked if my dream came true (X was, in his defense, drunk, did I mention?) and I said, because I am an entire idiot,

"No." "No?!" "Next time bring Jungkook-ssi", says still reasonably formal but definitely insane person holding my phone. (It was me, I'm the insane person). LAUGHTER. UPROARIOUS, UNBRIDLED AMUSEMENT. There was a thump, which Kev said "Oh Jimin fell" and some choking and I swear before God, JIMIN SNORTGIGGLED AT ME and Hobi let out the horsiest, cutest guffaw, like, they may have all been tipsy is all I'm saying. Kevin was appalled, probably. I wasn't paying attention to him. "Oh, Jimin left him at home" said one Jung Hoseok. IN ENGLISH. I mean, I didn't know Hobi was down with past tense and grammar and shit but HE SAID ITJUST LIKE THAT. AND LAUGHED. And then Park Jimin giggled. HE GIGGLED HE SOUNDS LIKE AN ANGEL I LOVE HIM SO MUCH YOU GUYS OMG

And then Kevin said "say goodbye" and instead I said "daedanhi kamsahamnida" which is "thank you so so so much" but I said that too and Jimin said "very nice to meet your jewelry" and Kevin was like "girl I'mma call you back when you can breathe without crying" and ...that was it. That was all she wrote. It ain't all I'm gonna write but the conversation was over. And about twenty minutes later after I resurrected again I was like WAIT.

WHAT.

Because, like, I don't know what all X has told Hobi and or Jimin about me. But I feel pretty confident that HOBI MADE A JIKOOK REFERENCE and there are two possible explanations: 1. They were just drunk as fuck and messing with a known ARMY; OR

2. That man was not thinking and told the truth. Jimin left Koo at home to go out with Hobi. At HOME. At ostensibly HIS HOME. Where Jungkook may also reside, at least occasionally. One of those things is true. Unless you think I'm yanking your chain. Which: I have no proof I'm not, at least no proof I'm willing to share. What I will share is that Yoongi the cat (or possibly yours truly) has been receiving regular deliveries from Hybe ever since. Nothing major and mostly the stuff is readily available on Weverse. No notes in it or anything, just.... stuff.

Stuff I have not ordered or paid for and there are no packing slips or invoices to tell me who did. It doesn't show up in my Weverse app. It just.... shows up.

I was GONNA get the photobook I swear to God I had intended to order it but it just.... arrived. I pulled Taehyung.

SOPE IS REAL THIS IS MY PHOTO PROOF LOOK AT YOONGI KISSING J-HOPE Mostly it's been Hoseok-related. Kev and X disavow all knowledge. If one of you did it, please do let me know. But I like to think it's no coincidence that Yoongi is now the proud owner of an Arson candle and a Jack In the Box.

I mean. It's cute stuff and I super wanted all of it but let's be real, here. If you'd rather believe this never happened and I just made it up out of my head, I would not even blame you. No dates, no sources, no pics, no receipts, nothing that could not have been ruthlessly fabricated and/or preordered by me and expeditiously shipped. Right? RIGHT.

But if you wanna squeal with me I won't get mad at you, either :) And yes, I do think the Jeon-Parks are jeonparking. I also think Jimin had his wisdom teeth out but who the hell knows.

No Closets In The Tattoo Shop, Apparently

That polyc guy is a true bro, y'all.

So WE ALL KNOW polyc is not only a brilliant tattoo artist with a stunning eye for design and color, amirite? But also he is cool with simping for the Jeon-Parks in public. Puts little pictures of maybe-otters by them and posts pics from Friend of The House Elves @ kookminaredating, among others. This will probably only end in tears for the man but I suspect he's well able to handle it.

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAA I mean sorry. Because it's gotta, at some point, start to feel a little bit stupid for people, if they stop to think about it. Maybe that's why they don't stop to think very often - it's getting painful. Because just this week we have:

Verified matchy matchy couple rings from the designer/jeweler, who seems quite pleased and not the least upset about culty cult kids;

The aforementioned verified matchy matchy couple bracelets from polyc's own line;

And also this from a lovely Japanese model/dj/CEO couple, Taiki and Noah (I think, I don't actually read Japanese)

Just out here reposting the jikookery from OH LOOKIE THERE IT'S KOOKMINAREDATING DOING THE LORD'S WORK

Uh, if you weren't sure, they gay they in love they married in all but name and they are also hardcore Jeon-Park House Elves in their own right so speak kindly to the Japanese Gentlefolk thank you. We like it when our friends can afford to dress well.

Meanwhile the homophobia continues unabated from the Klown Kamp:

Clap your hands if you believe in fairies, children. If you don't, Taehyung will refuse to acknowledge Jungkook in either public or private depending on today's narrative. I spent a little time sussing out this whole WTF WHY ARE WE OUTING THE JEON PARKS SUDDENLY PEOPLE thing with X last night while I waited for a performance that turned out to be this

(props to Jiminie's ass though GOOD LORD)

And I was asked to not speak on a couple of things SO I CAN'T BUT I WILL NOD IF YOU ASK ME. I was also told that this whole military thing is probably put off until after legislative session starts back up in September and no announcement will be made before the Busan concert and even then no announcement might be made BUT A couple of guys are reportedly getting kinda sick of closets. Polyc is not out here posting that stuff without clearing it first. The jikookery continues to jikook and there are not random jewelry coincidences happening. I think if we watch and wait we are gonna see some loud shit before October. Maybe before next week, they keep it up like this.

I'm ready. I've been suffering from major exhaustion and not a little burnout lately, not unlike the Jeon-Parks themselves, and I think we are all ready to see what they throw at us next.

Seoul Tries To Cancel Pride ... Again

I know, I know. There is BTS media floating around that I have not yet covered, but Y'ALL THIS IS IMPORTANT OKAY

So basically what happened is, the Seoul Queer Culture Festival, every year, has to declare its use of public property to have the Pride parade. X tells me that "everyone knew" it was gonna be a problem this year, as it has been in the past, because of the new government. And sure enough that's what happened. The City of Seoul took the declaration (not permission, because groups don't need permission) to committee and, surprise surprise, the committee said "Nope, don't think so, LGBTQ+ people, not in our backyard, utensils". Last year the Culture Festival's org tried apply for nonprofit status and that was denied, and that under the Moon administration, so it's no shock that a country who voted for Yoon would also have mega-asshole level conservatives in City government. They do. Something about how they might sell explicit baked goods.

The cookies in question, possibly. This week, US President Joe Biden is visiting Seoul. Which is led by Mayor Oh Se-hoon of the People Power Party (President Yoon's party). Mayor Oh is actively trying to block Seoul Pride and also says - out lout - that LGBTQ+ equality is unconstitutional. Maybe Biden will take notice, or not.

And what does this have to do with BTS? Only everything, if you believe (as I do) that at least three members are absolutely not heterosexual and possibly as many as ALL of them are part of the community. Certainly they're all allies, who want equality for their own queer loved ones, if not for themselves. Love is love. Just let people live, omg, as I am wont to say, but also what kind of bullshit is getting perpetrated behind the scenes on our guys, who are under immense pressure right now? Not that they could even GO to Pride but wouldn't it be great if they knew it was happening, that change was coming?

Some brave members of the community are protesting one at a time in front of City Hall pending Pride on June 1. Kev doesn't usually get to go (his job, closets, etc) but X does, and he's planning to be there this year whether it's "canceled" or not.

Swing some chickens for my favorite homosexuals, willya? They're being oppressed. The hate is real, in Korea. And the next time anyone comes at you about the Jeon-Parks being in the closet, you can show them exactly WHY.

Ive never heard Jk talk about kids before… I know Jimin always wanted to be a dad.. as a queer person myself ( very homophobic country) I feel for them. I know it’s possible to have kids as a queer couple.. there are ways in which you can achieve this..but it is so much more difficult. Can you imagine.. seeing them as dads.. raising a family together? How cute would that be!! Ugh my heart 😭😩 little parkjeons running around .. I’ll just stop

AH THANK YOU WISE ANON you showed up at just the right time. Opiates for butthurt are inappropriate use of opiates is all I'm gonna say about that but in fairness my sciatic nerve had one too many people STANDING ON IT so here have some love and appreciation

I'm not sure about that second one just go with it. ANYWAY YES. OMG. So Kev and X and I have this new thing where they hover and I allow it and one of the many things we discuss is kids. In Korea gay parenting is nearly impossible, especially under the current administration. It would just involve too much lying and that's not okay to do to kids, assuming kids can be found (girls can, and money works, but.)

So they don't have kids. But they will. It's one of the big reasons they're moving to the US part time. Roughly half the year is the plan and they intend to marry here. They will maintain one property - the largest home, for the family - in Korea. One in the US. The dream to is have the children back in Korea full time by high school and that seems... optimistic, but maybe? We can hope.

And the kids will be by necessity adopted, or possibly a surrogate will be utilized because Kev very much wants to be a biodad. X really wants to adopt, they may end up doing both. And I want to be there for that kid or those kids or all the kids. Auntie Jaya at your service, for real. And I imagine the Jeon-Parks have already talked about this. There may even be a plan in place, for later. Maybe much later.

Gay parents are, in my experience, AMAZING parents. Because it is hard, it is expensive, it takes years usually, and it is a CHOICE. A very conscious choice.

I want that for the Jeon-Parks, if they want it. And I think they do.

#thanks nice anon #i needed this #gay parents #jeon parks jeonparking again #or still #the jeon parks #jikook #why people think you have to be straight to have kids i do not understand #that is like so weird #kevin from itaewon #kev's boyfie x

Fun With Fan Art ft. X, Hobi and JeiKei

... and our dear @lauvamp of course, she of the insanely lovely prints. I said I was gonna post about it and so I am, I guess, don't shoot me. The prints in question:

and

I am a little shit, really.

But what had HAPPENED was that right around the whole JITB party, when I was on an unhealthy amount of various medications I... ordered a metric ton of fan art from LAU. It's beautifully done, I adored the color work, and she was very patient with my sick, medicated ass while I hit buttons and then forgot I'd hit them. Repeatedly. I finally got the pieces ordered and they arrived and I was SO HAPPY. I had to show them off. DAYS before I even posted them on this blog I was raving at X about them and he wanted to see them so I sent over some shots - basically the ones I posted. X was impressed but was not the only one. He showed the pics to one Jung Hoseok. X fancies himself something of a visual artist, I suppose, and he decided he'd just show off the pics at a thing he was at with some people he was with shortly thereafter. X is a bit of a flamboyantly loud personality, not unlike if Hobi and Jimin had a baby - same "happy outside dark brooding inside" type of vibe, and they enjoy each other's company as nearly as I can tell. NOT THAT HE TELLS ME SHIT but that's just how it looks from here. So anyway X got all super-secret-handshaky and asked me for prints. Said something about how Hobi and Jungkook would like to have them. Which: I Fed Exed a bitch some prints because what was I supposed to do? Tell one-degree-from-3J NO? I got permission from LAU of course, like one does, and then I Fed Exed 'em.

Within 36 hours X had prints in hand. I may have sent him the largest available size of the tattoo piece. At no time did I say "see that they get them" or anything like that. I sent prints to X to do with as he liked. HE GAVE THEM AWAY. He gave both of them away. Hobi got a Hobi and ... JeiKei got a very pretty tattooed hug. If it matters X had planned on giving that piece to Jimin at first but Jimin wasn't there and Jungkook was and X decided it was gonna end up in the same place anyway - some of the members apparently keep special boxes and albums specifically for fan made letters and art and such. And so... yeah. That happened. I have been told that Hobi LOVED both pieces and JK was particularly pleased with the hug piece and admired the accuracy of the tattoos. I have not heard what Jimin thought but we now know (thanks, Weverse Live) that he does look at fan art from time to time. It was really cool for me to hear that my favorite fan artist might have a new fan or two, or three. That's all it was. Which: okay I spilled on it, Lau, don't kill me :)

Hello YSJ! Love your blog! Would love to hear your opinion on why JM and JK wrote in English on each other’s b-day cakes rather than in Korean.

That is an excellent question. And I have opinions. OF COURSE I DO I ALWAYS HAVE OPINIONS ARE WE EVEN SURPRISED NO, NO WE ARE NOT SURPRISED But first, illustrations:

So I thought, WELL. We must have some amazing Magic Gay Code happening here. If it isn't in Korean maybe they're sending us a message. Maybe this is a Rainbow Connection Moment of some type. So I went LOOKING. And found:

So I was like

"Well we cannot use the queerness or lack thereof of BTS as a guideline because we're all a little bit gay here we have not been properly informed as to the gayness level of most of these men SO I BETTER GO LOOK FURTHER

And at several higher-end Korean bakeries I found

OKAY. Google was, I will have you know, ZERO HELP. So I did what any God-fearing American White Girl would do and I shot a message a couple time zones over to my friend X, who just so happens to be stateside on business right now. (And also possibly looking for houses but that's another post).

"WHY KOREAN BIRTHDAY CAKES IN ENGLISH" I asked articulately. Leave me alone it was a couple nights ago and I was on morphine derivatives and muscle relaxers. So if I missed anything in this conversation that's why. "HI I'M VERY DRUNK RIGHT NOW" X replied loudly. It felt loud because he was in a club or something. It was loud. I allowed as how I was gonna call Kev in Itaewon to get answers and X said TEXT ME BITCH and I said YOU DO NOT NEED ALL THE DETAILS ANYWAY

Drunk X said that actually, it's... just trendy. Literally, that's why. Because "candles in Hangul really are kinda hard to make work" which makes sense and also that "Korean cakes aren't as elaborate as the ones here" and "English denotes a little higher class, like you're cool enough to read your decorations" whatever the hell that means.

He says you go to the bakery and there are English phrases you can choose from, or someone probably knows enough English to get the job done or if you are very personalization-oriented they will give you an icing sleeve thingy and you can do it yourself at some places. THAT'S WHAT THE GAY KOREAN MAN SAID IT'S MY ANSWER. So I go "no gay coding then" and he said "only in the way that gay people buy better cakes." I guess that's why, then. We stan our world-citizen metropolitan extra cool English-cake-deco kings.

OKAY SO DON'T CALL YOUR KOREAN FRIEND AND ASK HIM IF HE CAN HELP WITH MATH

Unless you're me and your friend is Kevin From Itaewon and you already know he's already taken the whole week off work to get older and eat rice cake soup with brisket of all things. So it went kinda like this:

Me: Kev hey Kev oppa, I need a proper Korean, can you help me with some numbers and shit? KFI: You want help with MATH because I'm ASIAN?

Then this happened, metaphorically:

But after I recovered from being facepunched over FaceTime and Kev allowed as how he is actually very good at numerology type things (and also math but that's NOT RACIST I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT IT WAS A CULTURAL QUESTION OKAY DAMN) I explained about the whole furor over Jungkook's cover... sort of thusly:

Me: NO BITCH BUT I need numerology help with this Jungkook cover because apparently KARMY in your local area is all atwitter.

KFI: OH god, you're on the bird app again. I told you to stay off the bird app.

Me: X is on the bird app is he home?

KFI: IT IS ONE IN THE MORNING YES HE IS HOME AND NO HE IS NOT GETTING UP TO HELP YOU WITH THIS.

X, kind of blearily, walks up behind his man and waves. Y'ALL X IS SO CUTE HE'S KIND OF LITTLE AND JIMIN-DORABLE

Me: Oh hey X sorry, I suck. I'm bothering oppa about numerology as it relates to the Jungkook cover of "I Hate Everything" At this point Kev gets up to make his boyfie some tea and X and I chatter about the Jeon-Parks and Jimin's unfortunate erstwhile appendix and how COVID sucks and X allows as how Jimin will probably stay in hospital until the weekend because HE HEARD that Jimin's COVID was complicated. Probably due to the appendix. We have no receipts, this is just on the ground gossip. (Apparently HIPAA does not exist in Korea but okay).

ANYWAY tea is served and links are shared and X is working but only tomorrow afternoon for a few hours (today) so he decides to join us for a bit. I like having X around and actually being allowed to talk to him so I try VERY HARD TO BEHAVE MYSELF AND FAIL. MISERABLY. Like I do. We'll get to that later or not. Anyway I bust out the numbers like so: Me: So the video was cropped to 1:18 and 11/8 is the date of GCF Tokyo and this seems to be IDK kind of a thing. Is it a thing?

KFI: It might have been an accident, but I doubt it. If he did it on purpose it is definitely a thing. Did he do it on purpose? Me: I have no idea, oppa, do I live in the man's brain? But is that something that would, like, get done on purpose? Because KARMY seems to think that these two are always up in secret number code land doing secret number code things. X: That's true, they do! It's very popular here with couples. Kevi-hyung doesn't fully get it because he was raised in America. When we had our 2000 day anniversary I folded him 2000 origami swans and all I got was a week in Guam. Which was nice, but it wasn't TWO THOUSAND SWANS. Y'all I wish I had pictures of Kevin's face I feel like this is a thing that has come up more than once. I may have laughed out loud. KFI: .... Anyway. It might. Has he done things like this before? X: Kevi-hyung remember? I was telling you about this.

Me: Abouuut?

X: Just recently, when Jungkook did the Keep It On The Low cover!

Me: OH HOLD UP I HAVE A THING!!

And I did, I had this in my inbox from @kkhluvsbts from WEEKS AGO that got hung up in piles of crazy anons (and I apologize):

X goes: YES! That’s it!

And KFI goes: Oh. That’s very specific and a 1000 day or 1500 day anniversary is very significant. That Tokyo film is very romantic, I've seen it several times.

Me: SOOOO?!

KFI: I think that Jungkook must put thought into everything he does. A man who believes so strongly in destiny is very likely to do all those things on purpose, and their special numbers are clearly very important to both of them.

X: OMG Kevi-hyung we talked about this …

KFI: Sorry, I thought this whole thing was going to be about Life Path Numbers. Did you know you're a Life Path 4 with a Master Builder Number 22? Me: No. I don't know what that means. I DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL FOR MATH OKAY X: You ARE? Hyung never told me that! Here, do Jimin and Jungkook! It devolved from there. And if it's important to you Jungkook is a 9 and Jimin is a 2 with a Master Number 11 and I still don't know what it means except I haven't reached my full potential as a person. ANYHOO VERY LONG STORY SHORT (this turned into a two part call)... WHAT WE LEARNED IS THAT: If you are a native Korean AND you were raised in Korea, number code is an actual thing that gets actually used and therefore probably none of this is a coincidence. The Jeon-Parks DO THIS SHIT ON PURPOSE. If you are Kevin and were raised in America you're more like I-ARMY in that way and it takes a minute to click. We also learned that X is more fun than Kevin when it comes to stanning BTS in general and the Jeon-Parks in particular, he knows how to fold a lot of swans, and I still don't know what Life Path numbers are. And that I just wrote a really long post for what is, essentially, information y'all already knew. SEND HELP IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER LONG DAY
