JK/V/Jin Live - 12/19

진뷔국밥 (Jin V Kook Bap)

My commentary in green.
UM. this is the hottest Jin has EVER been [to me] and I am having a full blown existential crisis as an OT7>RM/SUGA/JK biased ARMY.. FULL. BLOWN. MELTDOWN. so you may witness my obliteration in real time...
Also - it's worth mentioning they're all speaking to each other in formal Korean -across the board- almost the entire live, and this is super silly, if you might imagine you and your bingbong friends just calling each other sir/madam/maam and being 'fancy' for no reason at all - that's sorta what's going on here just for funzies

Jin: ARMY should start coming in soon right?..
(to JK) i am starting to question if this is right.. [probably re: starting a loopy live at what like .. 3:45am KST?]
JK: V hyung was the one who wanted to turn on the live in the first place..
V (to Jin): hyung.. this is the right move..
(yes, yes it was. thank you sir kimtaehyung)

V: it is
Jin: is it?
V: it is
Jin: is it?
V: it is
Jin: if it is.. it is..

(😑)

just a picture of radiance - mama Jin with his two youngest daughters.

V: it's been such a long time since the 3 of us did something like this together right?
Jin: true..
JK: i mean since V hyung suggested we do this..
...
::silence as they await ARMY to enter the live::

i think as a consequence of WV shit notification system, they usually have to wait a whileee before ARMY start funneling in and I think they're always a little bit rocked by the fact that no one's tuning into their live.. like oh sht are we irrelevant now? when really it's only because NO ONE FCKNG KNOWS CUZ WV CAN SUCK A BAG OF.. i digress..

V/JK/Jin: oh they're here!! they're coming in..
JK: question mark...
Jin: imo ..it's also a question mark
V: BUT! it is fun though..
Jin: it is fun..

V::points to JK & Jin:: P? timestamp
this is him confirming they're P's re: MBTI, as in not really 'planners' (J) - probably referring to the fact that they did this very impromptu, very late night live
JK: P.
Jin: P.
V: okay as long as that's the case
JK: 3P
Jin: [cuz we're] impulsive/spontaneous..

*즉흥적이잖아 (jeukheungjugeejana) = cuz [pronoun] is spontaneous/impulsive; in this case, we glean from context that it's 'we'
V: 3P works

JK: ahnyonghaseyo
Jin: ahnyonghaseyo
V: ahnyonghaseyo

JK: should we do 2, 3, bangtan?
Jin: 2! 3! bang!
JK/Jin/V: tan! ahnyonghaseyo bangtan sonyeondan imnida // hello, we're BTS

V: so everyone, the reason we're gathered here today is because..
..what did we eat together?
Jin: after our schedule today, we ate - samgyeopsal (pork belly) and - grilled clams

almost missed this JK blep. good thing i have hawkeyes and a JK blep radar

V: so we had samyupsal and such and we were just chatting lightly afterward.. when we wanted to turn on the live so we did..
Jin: what time is it now? we started eating around what.. like 11pm right?
V: have we been ..drinking for what like 4 hours?
Jin: ..4 hours.. we've been eating
JK: eh?
V getting the hint: ahh yes..

please i can't. look at jin and his baby daughters. look at little kookooball. i'm so happy.

Jin: yes we've been eating for 4 hours.. food...

*밥 (bap) - sometimes this means, specifically, "rice" and sometimes this just means "food" in general - here they're using it to mean "food"

JK: and banchan (banchan = sidedishes)
Jin: yes and side dishes..
JK: yes so we ate together.. and then having like a heart to heart... and then we came downstairs and re-listened to our album .. and then
V: and monitored each other [re:each other's parts in the album]
JK: ..yea and gave each other some feedback when V hyung was like.. noraebang (Korean word for Karaoke, often shorted to "nrb" among Korean-Americans/beyond), let's go ::with a nod::... so we started doing noraebang.. and then he wanted to do a live.. ::with a nod, V laughs at the accuracy and kookoo's cuteness:: and so here we are doing this live

Jin: our taehyungie kept talking about doing a live.. it's not easy..
V: right cuz.. well wait.. ease?? hmm.. it's not really that it's not easy.. i mean.. i personally don't really have any reservations about that kind of stuff..
Jin: we also had a few bevs..
JK: nae..but not a lot..
V: oh but to be honest.. for me.. uhhh.. i think they'll [ARMY] see all that as lovable/cute too
Jin: oh is that so..
V: nae ::tata nods::
Jin: . ... . ..i see ::laughs at V's cuteness and earnest trust in ARMY to find all their (BTS') loopy shenanigans lovable::

V: AND SO we wanted tooo..... make sure...... that ARMYs were entertained/had funn.... sooooo
Jin/JK (finishing up V's sentence): wanted to make sure ARMY's were having fun SO
V: so that is why we turned this on

we're at nearly 2:30 minutes of just them explaining why they turned on the live ..loll like bruh, don't you know we are happy to see you for literally any reason at all...

JK: so ..maybe like sing a song each.. or.. ...
V: i will go first! ::scampers to the mic::
JK: yes please get started..
Jin: I ..tried a little bit to keep this from happening
JK: let's get started..

Jin to JK: ..are the two of us just gonna sit up here like this??
JK: ...
Jin: okay so we're just gonna sit here like this?

V's behind them with the NRB remote putting in his song, Jin/JK still sitting up front for the live

JK to Jin: do you wanna sit back there?
Jin: let's do what you want..
V: come over here..
Jin: okay.. then we'll go over there..

(🍑👀)
JK: oh okay *ahyongheegehsaeyo.. oh wait no.. nevermind.. not bye.. just ..one sec..

*안녕히 계세요 (ahyongheegehsaeyo) - is "goodbye" when you're the one leaving (so you're basically saying, stay well) as opposed to "안녕히 가세요 (ahyonghee gaseyo)" which is used when the other person is leaving when you're saying "leave well"

JK accidentally says this because it feels like they're "leaving" us to go back there and party with tataface but then he catches himself cuz they're not actually leaving us

V: the mic can be heard clearly right?
JK: oh yea the mic can be heard clearly..
Jin ::yeets a bottle from the table over the couch just onto what sounds like.. the floor::
JK to Jin: SUNSAENGNIM (teacher/professor), why would you throw thattt ::runs to pick up whatever Jin just chucked::
Jin ::cleaning the mess on the table gently now and following JK to throw it out properly::
V ::sways with the music laughing at his mamabird and bb bro cleaning up::

::V singing and then gives the NRB mic to Jin who refuses it.. then passes it to JK::
🎶빗 속에서 - Lee Moon Sae, 1985

V: JungKookshi, are you gonna [sing]?
JK ::takes the second mic:: what song is this again?
V: 빗 속에서
(please watch them sing this beautiful song and cry with meeeee)
JK may not be as familiar with this oldie as V is - so they sing it together but V takes the lead

Jin puts his hand on kookooball and it's just very sweet

Jin to JK: ...is this right/okay?
JK nods, V nods
Jin: it is? okay..

unlike the maknaes, I'm sure Jin (as the oldest) feels a little bit uneasy doing this unscheduled live, without having cleared it with the company beforehand, all a tiny bit loopy - or at the very least - after having had a few bevs and announcing it so, so he's tryna vibe and AT THE SAME TIME, probably tryna calm his own nerves a little bit cuz it probably feels a little more reckless than he's used to

I know Jin is a wildchild and Jin Hit entertainment has birthed so much chaos - but when it comes down to it, Jin is wildly professional, deeply respectful of his company, and abides all the rules they really have to - so I'm sure he's trying to reconcile the fact that these two bebes are like SUPER chill w/ this impromptu chaotic live and how he personally feels about it but trying to go with the flow trusting it'll all be okay - which is why he asks 'is this okay?/right?' so many times throughout this live

witness Jin trying to chill LOLLL poor bb - but as an eldest daughter and one ALWAYS left in charge whether I liked it or not -since the age of ~6? of all the younger ppl in my life.. i get this DEEEEPLY... lol
JK has scampered off to adjust the lighting, leaving V singing and Jin having a gentle existential crisis

V ::finishes the song::
kookoo starts clapping right away 😭😭😭
::Jin joins in clapping::

JK to V: please go up front and get congratulated by ARMY
V::victory slide::

Jin::putting in the song number:: so i just have to put in my 18th song right?
JK: that is correct.. put in the 18th.... jwinnnnn
Jin: j-hopeee
JK: ah why'd you say j-hope
Jin: j-hopeee
JK: jwinnnnn
Jin: j-hopeeee
JK::mumbling instructions to Jin that I can't hear about how to input the song into the NRB machine::
V:: jwannn
JK: Jin hyung what is your 18th song?
Jin: ...a song that is called "I'm a Butterfly" ...
JK: ah "I'm a Butterfly" ..that's a good song
V: "I'm. A. Butterfly"
JK::starts lowkey singing presumably this butterfly song::
Jin singing 🎶나는 나비-YB, 2006🎶
::partway through:: I can't sing this.. I drank too much I'm very sorry.. ::stops the song:: I do not think I should do this..
V: we're not tryna sing this well right nowwww
Jin: now i know.. I'm not really tryna crush it right now but I also just don't think I attempt to go on..

JK: no i mean there are days we can't sing..
Jin: of course there are days we CAN sing well and days we CAN'T
JK: no you ARE singing well..
Jin:.. i'm just saying today may be one of the days I cannot..
Jin & kookooball hand holding moment and I cry
V: just show them a day where you can sing well~
Jin: no I think it'll be a mess if I go on..
JK::holding both Jin's hands and staring deep into his soul to coax him into continuing his singing:: ARMYs love to see us singing like this
V::cracking up at JK guilt-tripping Jin w/ ARMY on the line::

Jin: so this whole idea of me.. having a few beverages and then like singing..
V::pops up from being folded over laughing into the couch, to Jin:: be so forreal right now, you love this though
Jin: no i don't no i don't.. I don't think I can sing.. worse than normal ..

JK to ARMY: we're sorry about this - right before the live, he was singing just fine..

save jin from his two littlest daughters trolling him til the end of days.

Jin: ..even if I mess up a little bit, I feel like it could be a big mess.. even just now I made like 4 mistakes.. i feel like it'll be a big mess.. so
JK -cutting him off: there are times when things go well..
Jin: BUT.. as such, I'll hand off this next turn to our Jung Kookshi
JK ::says something I can't hear but he's shaking his head no::
Jin: no no no - I trust you, Jung Kookshi

::they go to cheers, but V uses his water glass instead of their THERMOSES FILLED WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVS (lmao)::

JK: oh taehyungee, you're done drinking?
V: oh i don't have anymore left..
Jin/JK: OH! i'll pour you some more of what you were drinking ::JK gets up to refill V's THERMOSSS::
V::smiles::

JK (from off screen): cuz this is [the drink] Taehyungshi liked in particular, right?
Jin: that's right - [the drink] Taehyungsshi liked.. okay.. so we..

JK (from off screen to V): wait but have you had this with ice?

Jin (kneeling in front of ARMY): so we had been eating lightly.. and had a few beverages when Taehyungi said he wants to show ARMY this side of us so we turned on the live..

V: ..well not exactly eating lightly..
Jin: okay.. not a light meal.. and for me.. singing in this state .. I don't think would be the best so I stopped mid-song.. but our little friends [JK & V] are just exceptionally good [at singing] so..
JK: WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT hyung.. you're so good too
Jin: no but our lil friends are SO exceptionally good
JK: stop lying

V: JINSSHIII
Jin: Jung Kookshii
JK: jwinn
Jin: let's goo Jung Kookshii
JK: oh but for me..
V: let's toast..
Jin: oh..

CHEERSSS, ARMYYYY🥂

Jin: i really don't think I can..
JK: i am sad
Jin: no no it's nothing to get sad about it's just that..
JK: but you've never shown ARMY this side of you.. right?
Jin: right since I'm a sort of pro... I haven't really shown this 'uncomposed' side of me ever..
V: i mean .. me too i think i haven't really shown this side of me either
Jin: if we're just gonna chat though, should we move up? [closer to the camera]
V: okay..
Jin: so they can hear our voice..

i love seeing this complicated/chill/natural dynamic - authentically two little jellybeans wanting their oldest hyung to let loose, the eldest hyung honestly feeling torn between allowing himself to be perceived in an uncomposed state AND wanting to vibe/go with the flow with his two bebes.. probably in equal measure

and let me be clear, Jin's motivation for not necessarily wanting to show ARMY a more uncomposed side of him has less to do with his worries of ARMY judging him but more to do with his sense of responsibility over his two younger brothers and their groups overall image because he will be held ultimately responsible if something stupid were to go down

::they move closer to the camera and kneel for some reason lolll::

JK: ah, okay we should all kneel huh?
Jin to JK: ..so since we've had like..2... 5ish.. bottles.. like maybe.. 4..5.. bottles.. of..
JK👀: UM i think you should share what type of alcohol we've been having cuz..

i love kookoo's laugh here 😭

JK: well ANYWAY.. i mean these drinks are not super high proof or anything ..
Jin: we had makkgeoli ..we had soju..
JK: and then the recent.. the one Vsshi has.. you don't have to mention the brand name but the one you've kinda been into recently
Jin to V: you can't say the brand name though
V: i know i know.. when we went to America together..
JK: the session?
Jin: right right right
V: yea when we went for the session ..ever since then

Jin👀to JK timestamp Jin is stressed allll the way out... and by God my eldest daughter heart feels this SOOOOO deeply..
JK👀 to Jin::patting Jin's head:: why Jin?
Jin: i keep thinking this isn't the way to go/right thing.. so I can't stop laughing.. (nervous laughter)
Jin👀back to V to let him finish talking:
JK: ...you're not used to this huh??
Jin: I really don't show this uncomposed side of me..
JK: you have no idea how much ARMY will love this.. especially the ones that love you most - they're DEFINITELY really going to loveeee this
Jin (realizing he/JK haven't let V finish speaking kinda wraps up V's thoughts to make sure V knows they were listening): so yea the beverage that taehyungie has been into lately.. and then the alcohol I made.. and then
JK: right stuff I had at home..
Jin: like wine and stuff and.. we mixed a few things together
JK: yea but .. i mean so far .. well ..(to Jin) you don't have a headache or anything do you?
Jin: i mean my neck's been a little sore since a little bit ago tbh..
JK: oh really? want me to *massage it for you?
Jin: no LOL it's okay..

V to Jin: how late are you gonna stay [here at JK's] today? timestamp
Jin: me? if taehyungsshi is going to stay.. i will stay as late as.. until our schedule tomorrow..
JK: ......ah.. do you think you can hangg??
V laughing: yea do you think you can hang like that??
Jin: as long as taehyungsshi and jungkookshi are here, i think i can hangg
V: because I was going to sleep next to Jung Kook tonight
Jin: I was gonna squeeze in between to sleep to be honest..
JK: hold on a sec... then this changes things..

we are all just 4th wheeling here atp lmao but who's to get in the way of a mama and his daughters

JK: but i mean yea.. i don't care [as in they're welcome to stay]
V: cuz well like first of all this trio.. ARMY would......
Jin: yea we've never done a live like this the three of us right?
JK/V: that's right
Jin: at the very least not in a few yearsss..
V: and i was like oh the vibe right now is soo nice..
JK: right and then you were like now's a great chance to turn on the live
V: rightt so that's why.. =.= (V seems sleepy)

Jin: for me- so far, i was really vibing (in this tipsy/nice state) but as of turning on the live - i have COMPLETELY sobered up and my mind is SUPER alert right now..
V: oh really? i think about that.. after the fact loll
Jin: I mean i did say if you wanna do it, do it - but my anxiety got ahead of me a little bit.. I'm older than you two after all - if anything were to happen.. I'd feel responsible (would feel badly/frustrated that I "let" it happen)

real quick aside real if you really want to know about Korean culture - definitely skip this if you don't care - it's TOTALLY okay lol
being the eldest obviously has it's pros/cons in all cultures, one of the most difficult aspects in KOREAN contexts is that the oldest one is always held responsible for EVERYTHING. So it *is veryyy different if let's say JK or V do a live solo and act a fool vs. if they do the same thing with one of their hyungs on the live with them - as much as they might be held personally responsible, their hyung will get at LEAST 1.5-2X the repercussions for having let it happen in their care

so especially eldests among millennial Koreans & older who 'accept' their role (not outright rebel/etc.) either always feel personally conflicted from having to be the voice of reason WITHOUT being a partypooper or perceived as a partypooper whose mere presence (even if they didn't "police" the fun) would beget others to walk on eggshells to a point (a shitty option) OR learned to compartmentalize and refrained from ever taking part in situations like that -so younger people could have fun without them; this is why the eldest, in many contexts, are the most formidable because if they arrive on scene - they are to be taken seriously.. but it is also why eldests NEED other contexts/friend or family groups wherein they are NOT the eldest so they can have a shot at being pampered/babied/covered by others too

HYBE Korea's system of not requiring the oldest to be the group's leader is one of their wisest practices. For other groups where this is not a safeguard in place, I do worry about the mental health of the eldest/leaders because it TRULY is double (if not triple/quadruple/etc.) the pressure to assume both the title of the leader AND the oldest

V: ah this is true.. at the end of the day you do have to be the one that takes responsibility for us
JK::coughs laughing::
Jin: me? right? yea.. so if today.. after you've had alcohol ..there's any inappropriate thing spoken.. or anything like that.. I will assume the role of immediately ending the live right away
V: but i mean we don't even do anything like that..
Jin: that's true
JK: and like the phone.. we're doing the live from is my phone and it doesn't have much battery left so i don't know when it'll die out.. how much battery did i have left like? 30?
Jin: 30% left
JK: ~30% left? so we'll just do it until it runs out.. and when my phone shuts off, the live will naturally come to an end
V: mm.. yup that's what we'll do
Jin::looking nervous af::
JK: so.. yea now.. (to Jin): do you wanna sing one more song?
Jin: if JungKookshi would ..
JK: Taehyungshi would you like to..
V: JungKookshi please sing something for us .. or you wanna sing one with me?
JK: wanna do a duet??
V: should we do a duet?
Jin: i love this - I'm not in the condition to sing right now..
JK: and Jin hyung has a bit of sensitivity to this kinda thing
Jin: exactly after having a few drinks, my throat is not in the best condition right now.. i mean once I sang i could tell right away..
JK: okay okay
Jin: I don't think it's a good idea
V: but for me i think showing our best selves .. can be saved for concerts and stuff
JK: but right now kinda showing this raw/unpolished side..
V: yea to show this raw vocal side.. you know why.. it's cuz
Jin: no you're right..
V: no cuz Jinshi when you sing for us while we're just doing noraebang.. I really love your [noraebang] voice
Jin: but ..before that I sang two very high songs ...
V/JK: oh yea 'Cheonnyeonui Sarang' (A Thousand Years of Love)
Jin: yea.. so my throat is not in good condition right now
V: okayy. .. i understand okay in that case (to JK) what should we do?
JK: what song do you wanna do? you have to pick a song we both know though..
Jin: oh then sing one of our songs!

JK: oh but! before we turned on the live we sang a few of our songs.. we sang mikrokosmos
Jin: we sang mikrokosmos.. and truth untold and what else?
V: just those two right?
Jin: and then what did we sing:
JK: then we sang 'last christmas our version'
Jin: oh our verson last christmasss (loopy Jin repeating everything is my fave)

JK/V/Jin start singing this part

Jin: we sang that like ...15 years ago right?
JK: that's correctttt - we still had that in our heads
Jin: it can never be erased - i can't actually remember the original version - i can only remember that [their version] song
JK: i mean true.. for me too - i don't even know the second actual verse
Jin: oh i don't remember verses.. I just remember ::sings the part they just sang::
JK: that's the only rap part I remember too
V nods along: yea that's how it was..

Jin: do you wanna sing one of our songs then?
V: nope
JK: what about blue and grey
Jin: blue and grey is so good - i LOVE that song soo much
V: blue and grey??
JK: oh that's right that's right that's right
V: but to be honest when it comes to our songs - i get a little more in my head about it
Jin: ohh i get it..
JK: oh i see..
Jin: then is there something you'd like to do?
V: really just uhh...
JK: is there something you'd like to do, Vssi? that.. that.. maybe they might all know
V: well cuz I'm... Christmas.. so ..
Jin: christmas..
JK: 🎶it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
V::tatagiggles::

Jin: oh and there's another one you did before we turned on the live..
JK: oh but UGHH his voice [V's] is so niceee
Jin: it's niceee
V::swaying:: I'm just thinking if there might be a good Christmas song to sing...
JK: the only song we did was 'last Christmas'
V: oh REALLY??
Jin: oh no ..when we did that performance at the end of the year that one time.. I did the 'feliz navidad' one..
JK: oh that's right and i did one with jimin hyung
V (to Jin): that's what you did??
Jin: oh yea me and hobi..j-hope did this 'feliz navidad' (full disclosure, Jin has forgotten the words and is saying 'elas navidad' but we get what he's aiming for)
V: ohh i did jingle bells
Jin: who did you do it with?
V: i don't remember with who..

For all Baby ARMY, here is their 2019 Christmas Medley performance

Jin: wait so I did it with hobi and you [JK] did it with Jimin?
JK: yup
Jin to V: then you must've done it with namjoonie and yoongi
V: oh really? waoww please hear his little waow
JK imitating V: waOwwW
V: waOow
Jin: ...

V: and so yes .. that's how it was .. thank you for working so hard (yup, outta nowhere.. to ARMY.. they all just start to bow LOLL)
JK: so okay anyway first.. because my butt hurts..
V over JK: but okay.. hold on.. everyone (Jin/JK), how do you like this style of conducting the live so far?? cuz i'm the type to just.. when i want.. just just just .. kinda be like 'OK' and then turn it off when I feel done hehe
Jin: me too kinda.. cuz i kinda talk about a lot of *frivolous nonsense
JK: recently I've been doing a lot of gaming lives
V: well when i talk it is substantial..
Jin: well will you be sewing in the future? jin pun
V: yes, you are correct
Jin: HA.HA.HA.HA.HA.

the exact moment JK is done with Jin.... before he inevitably cracks up too at Jin's lovable TERRIBLE dad joke

*실없는 얘기(shil ubneun yeggi) = light/nonsensical talk; 실없는 - means kinda like.. without deep meaning, like 'chitchat/small talk' in nature
V replies like 'well when i talk it isn't quite without meaning' but the way he expresses it is 'it is WITH shil' (this is not how Koreans would express this - to say that when i talk it is substantive.. but V is just sorta playing with Jin's words)
실(shil) also separately, literally means "thread" - so 실있어 (shil eessuh), meaning "with thread" is a pun too.. not what V was shooting for but Jin responds to this by saying "so will you be sewing in the future..." and the bingbong trio shares a bingbong laugh over this terrible joke and Jin's 💰💰💰 2 egg per ramen laugh

Jin: JungKookshi - why don't you sing a song..
V: for now - go do one song and come back (LOLLL he points to the back and just sends him off to go sing HAHAHAHA)
JK to hyungs: you mean you just want me to go and sing?
Jin to V: you mean you just want us two to stay up here?
JK: oh you want me to provide the bgm (background music).. but if i do that your voices have to be audible to them [ARMY] though ...
V: oh they can hear us.. we'll just watch from right here

Jin stressed AF over this live

V: please put on a very fun song
JK: should I do jin hyung's song?
Jin to V: i... still don't think this is the answer [re: their live]
V: about what?
Jin: cuz..for me.. I'm .. this is my first ever live after having a few drinks
V: but .. to be honest - don't you love this right now?

no words. just precious. also lowkey why does JK look like the toddler these two are babysitting watching Bluey sprawled out on the couch while the adults are having a serious convo

JK to V: but you know what though forreal.. like there are ARMYs that [especially] love Jin hyung - that have never seen him like this..
Jin: it's true i've never shown this side of myself
JK: TRULYYYY i think they'll all think you're SUPER adorable
Jin ::incredulous laugh::
V::smiley::
JK: like SO CUTE i bet..

V: for me - when our members.. when Jin hyung..
JK: is SO lovable, right?

V blep.
V: ..[Jin hyung] can tend to be overly cautious/hold back so much
Jin: I...
V: i mean you don't do that many lives..
Jin: that's true.. but for me honestly.. to approach our fans without makeup still feels a little bit uncomfortable because we are celebrities and I only want to present my best self to them
V: like how could..

this is making me really emotional.
::JK comes from behind to come to the front to ask this on Jin's behalf::

JK (in the sweetest, gentlest voice, speaking on behalf of his precious hyung): hey everyone, isn't there barely any difference in Jin hyung's appearance with or without makeup? doesn't he actually look.. rather exactly the same??

see Jin and cry with me

i am crying. i know they're all the silliest bingbongs but i hope this was soft and healing and created margin for Jin, even if just a little bit, because it's one thing that they say this to each other behind the scenes - but it's another thing for them to brag on him in front of ARMY so gently - WITHOUT making him (Jin) feel overly sensitive or like a partypooper for being so cautious

I've had the privilege, ONLY in the very very recent past, to have younger ppl vouch for me in ways I didn't even know to ask for/expect at all... and it broke me in the best ways to realize, they don't just need me to be strong, they want me to be able to be soft too - and that does something to/for a person that doesn't get to experience that much

JK: i mean what even is there to say- he looks the sameee
V to Jin: how could you say such a thing..
JK (going on about Jin): his skin is so nice...he never really does much eye makeup..
V (adding in): isn't it true that you've like never even had a pimple in your life?
Jin: ...in my life since birth, I've had like 3 pimples
JK/V:waaaaaaaa
JK: i lived with pimples connected to me at all times
V: i had one just last week
JK: when i was little.. when I was younger.. i had a lot of them..
Jin: it's true when you were little you struggled with that a lot but now your skin's so nice
JK: well now cuz i actually know how to take care of my skin.. ::settling down to get comfortable to chat with the hyungs::
[not on V's watch]
V to JK: Jung Kookshi stop tryna get comfortable and go sing a song ::JK gets right back up to go sing 🎶it's beginning to look a lot::
::V laughs at the boba he just sent away to sing::
V/Jin: 🎶like Christmasss~

Jin to V: that song was very nice
V(singing to himself)
Jin: that song was really nice - and today before we turned the live on we listened to our album for over an hour ..and it's so good
JK::realizing they're speaking:: how can I sing when you guys are having a conversation ::brings up V/his own drink so they can cheers and he can sit with his hyungies and be part of the convo::
V: hey.. hey..
JK: hey hey hey ..
cheers
Jin: I don't think this was my...[thermos]
JK: no it should be right.. is it not?
Jin: I think it's been switched with taehyungie's
V: oh really?
Jin: ...i didn't bring mine up.. taehyungie brought yours up though (to V)
V: ah..??
JK: then why were you holding his??
Jin: idk.. it was just here so i picked it up
V: oh my what has happened (V is either loopy or tired or both but he is hilarious rn)

Jin to JK: wait why did you sit down - go sing us a songg
V: yea what are you gonna sing?
JK: ...you guys are having a conversation, how can I sing over you??
Jin: oh our conversation is over - one two three! ::chops the air::
JK::thinking Jin meant him too tries to communicate with his FACE without speaking:: jakldfjg;lajflgja;ldfgjk;aldfjglkaf hahahahah he's so cuteeee

Jin: .....::realizing JK is confused/not speaking:: no YOU have to go sing a song
V: i mean you don't actually have to sing a song to be honest..
Jin: ...true you don't have to we can just sit here and shoot the breeze like this
JK: ..and then later on...
V: you can do it if you want - you don't have to if you don't

i veryyy rarely see Taehyung as 'hyung' to Jung Kook because they exude BIG maknae energy, even when they're with each other - but this is a sweet hyung moment, after ordering JK to sing for them jokingly - then releasing JK from that so he could feel free to do what he wants, cute

please look at lil tipsy lil kookooball looking at the same hyung that ordered him just moments ago to go sing ...saying 'do what you want' HAAHAHAHAHA

Jin to JK: you know how we were talking about.. amongst ourselves... like we're older now..
V: i wanna sing fly me to the moon...
JK/JIN: OMG GO SING IT!! GO GO sing it sing it
JK: can you IMAGINE how much they'd wanna hear you [sing that]? (kookoo's always on point with what ARMY wants to see) please - go right away [to sing, to V]

Jin cannot stop laughing because he's lowkey so shy to be slightly tipsy on this live rn.. but is also lowkey loving how his bb bros have made space for him to be soft and squishy and loopy, promising they won't do anything that'll get him in trouble and encouraging him to show his loosened up side - and i cry for another 4-6 business days. friends i've like just been crying... this whole time lmao...

JK to Jin: but you know what's funny?? he's been wearing slippers this whole time by himself.. and..
Jin: but .. i still don't want to show this uncomposed side of myself
V (squeaking in the back HAHAHAHA): i'm not uncOmPoSeD thouGhhh

caught a Jin blep. the trifecta of bleps have been caught.

JK: but then you can just not show them this side after today

bobaball bargains with his mama
Jin: oh i see.. just show them today.. and then not again moving forward..?
JK::nods::right right right.. BECAUSE they probably will REALLY like seeing this side of you
Jin: i mean.. MAYBE.. MAYBE... i'm guessing..
JK: and then the next time you, Jin shi, do a live on your own - ARMY is going to take this moment tonight - and relentlessly tease you for it.. (in an endearing way)
Jin [finishing his thought]: (..i'm guessing..) that I'm gonna get a call from the office being like 'Seokjinshi, ::sigh:: you made the right choice and then hang up on me'

V singing 🎶Fly Me to the Moon - most commonly associated with Frank Sinatra
watch our bingbongs sway to the music

JK to Jin: Jin hyung! hyung you sit here by yourself and smile for them

bebes have left mamabird to fend for himself all alone up front. the littlest kookooball points and laughs

Jin is SO UNCOMFORTABLE - look at himmmm i cryyyyy ooOof but i cry laughing at kookoo and tete in the back being fools

Jin, love, blink twice if the maknaes are holding you hostage. He would stay a hostage.

Jin to his daughters: come back and sit down here again..
V::comes running::
Jin to V: you gotta bring your cup too, bring your cup
V::grabs his cup and comes back::

Jin: but thinking about it.. isn't it like ...practically the first time seeing us three.. (to V) they've seen us two (to JK) and they've seen us two and they've seen you two... with maybe Jimin or hobi or namjoonie or yoongi in between [you two]...
V: sooo I made a nickname up for us today..
Jin: what is it?
V: Jin V Kook Bap (진뷔국밥)

*국박 (gukbap) = literally "soup + rice" - commonly used to describe a very traditional Korean basic meal that consists of a bowl of rice + any kind of soup; here 'guk' is spelled the same as 'kook' in 정국 - so it's a cute play on their names, Jin, V, Kook Rice

Jin: Jin V Kook Bap.. ah.. a very yummy sounding nickname
JK: what kind of gukbap are we talking about here?
V: please listen to this immaculate explanation. no notes. 10/10 for clarity::points to Jin, himself, JK - we ::become:: bap. We become bap.
JK::bunnygiggles::
Jin: ..we become bap... i see..
JK: we are the bap i see..
V: we are becoming the bap .yes..
JK: okay

JK is so tiny here amongst his hyungs. sooo tinycakes. please hear his TINY. TINY 'okay'

V: so that ARMY can consume us one spoonful at a time
JK: oh bap RICE?
V: nae
Jin: JinVKookBap - this is wonderful - very good nickname
JK: okay i like it.. JinVKookBap.. i..
Jin: HAVE THE THREE OF US ever done a live together?? (loopy Jin is glorious and I love him forever)
JK: no we haven't
V: that can't be.. right??
JK: no i'm pretty sure the three of us have never done one..
V: really??
Jin: i mean i think we've def one with OTHER people or just the two of us (Jin/V) or the two of us (Jin/JK)
JK: i mean not to my memory...

kookoo points to his head to emphasize point and i die.. he's just so bobaball
V: i mean me too.. i also can't recall from my memory either..
JK to V: i mean i don't do lives with you usually, we do 'together' from far away (re: this live).. so I don't think I've ever really done a live with Jin hyung ..which means definitely the three of us couldn't have done one.. kookoo forgets his infamous birthday live with the maSsacRe of tHe bUnNy cAke viA sHiNe muScat
V: ohh that's truee...
JK: but like.. watch us be wrong..
Jin: i'm sure if you look there might be one.. maybe.. i mean it's been so long though
V: but like maybe a VERRYYY long time ago there could be one..
Jin: like 10 years ago or something? yea there could be one
V: right.. anyway

JK: you sang so well...
Jin: Taehyungshi your voice...
JK: Jinshi too
Jin: i mean for me.. i mean while i was singing I had the feeling like ..oh I shouldn't be singing right now.. I had a clear sense that I shouldn't ...
JK: for sure there's like a preparatory moment ...
Jin: I mean so i stopped midway
JK: ahh but it was good thoughh

Jin: it was my 18th song but right before that i sang a few songs that were in a very high vocal range ..and drank.. so I felt like.. if I were to do it now it wouldn't turn out well..
V: but for me.. uhhh.. like... sighh ..i like this so much tinykookoolaugh
JK speaking very smoothly/low voice to troll V's mellow energy answer LOLL: like so much right??
V: i think quite a bit..
JK to V: seems like you're in your feels a little bit..
Jin: yes - i like this too -
V: because.. it's been such a long time since I last drank with you[Jin sshi]
Jin: truee.. with Taehyungsshi it's been a while.. w/ JungKookshi.. it's been what like 3 days? since we ate and drank and caught up .. but Taehyungie was gonna come too but then he had prior commitments that day so wasn't able to come..
V::nods rubbing his eyes:: i feel like V is really sleepy lmao.. bb losing steam

please look at this sleepy bb bear
Jin: actually today, i was just like taehyungah wanna grab a drink? and then taehyungie said okay.. so then called up Jung Kookie like.. 'so taehyungie and i decided to meet up at your house does that work?'
V::laughing:: oh is that how it went down??
Jin: i was like "is that okay?" .. [JK answered] "i mean ..go for it" so..

just another V blep.

and a kookoo puff, carry on.

JK: so we grilled and ate some samgyupsal upstairs and then some pen shell clams
Jin: the clams were good!
V: you know what's funny though.. is they hand prepared the pen shell clams themselves -these two..
JK: of course we should..
Jin: of course we should..
V: so i was just beside them watching like wowww

JK: a man who cooks
V: waaa
observe this dorkling moment
Jin: ..but the reason it wasn't that big a deal is that.. this guy [JK] put olive oil..
JK: right..
Jin: and i just sliced the onions and prepared the seasoning... seasoned it.. and then we just put that on for like 5 imuntes..
JK: that's right..
Jin: taehyungie helped a lot too
JK: that's right - he was diligently peeling them one by one
V: AMANWHOCOOKS
Jin: ..exactly following the instructions like this - is actually not easy to do
JK: you definitely have a knack for it
V: me? me? me? me?
Jin: yea
V: i did peel those thingies..
Jin: you really liked the samgyupsal gochujang I made for you yesterday right?
JK: dasrightdasrightdasright
Jin: so from now on if you make it yourself like that it'll really elevate your samgyupsal experience..
V: i mean i was so shocked.. that...
Jin:... shocked by what?
V: cuz no matter how..what?... ::processing Jin's question:: oh the sauce you made
Jin: oh the sauce I made..
JK in tiny:remind us again how you made it
V: no matter how drunk I got.. I will remember the taste
Jin: oh the combination [of ingredients] that went into the sauce?
V: like oh! this seasoning recipe.. if you say it out loud.. isn't that.. a little..
Jin: oh.. i mean what.. it's not like a secret recipe..
V: oh really??
Jin: it's just gochujang with..
V: NO WAIT i wanna do it (is a whole ass BABYYYY with his jin hyung and i'm super here for it)
Jin: okay if you remember sure
V: gochujang 1 spoon
JK/Jin: that's right
V: honey.. but like 1 spoon but just a regular.. not overflowing.. spoon.. (Jin echoes and confirms).. and then .. was it seaweed stem??

JK: WHAT?? msg - msg like legit JUST A TINY BIT
Jin (very gently): not *seaweed stem, MSG just a tinyyy bit

*미역 (miyuk, seaweed) vs *미원 (miwon, MSG) sound...KINDA similar in Korean... lowkey not really but it does to a loopy V who doesn't know how to cook at all; no one who knows how to cook would confuse these two ingredients even if they sounded similar because they're SOOO different loll but it's okay we still love bb bear

V: oh right just a LITTLE bit to bring out the depth of the savory/umami flavor right?
JK/Jin: that's right that's right
V: and then! like 2 'rounds' of sesame oil
JK/Jin: that's right that's right
V: and thennn gochujang.. no wait..
Jin: you said gochujang already
V: oh just up to here and then that's it?

i said on threads, and i'll say it again - Jin has never been hotter than in this live. and yes, i know he's SO FCKNG hot all the time. but truly i am ..FLUSHED with feelings for Jin on this live on this day - all his vulnerability (albeit kinda a little bit forced upon him by way of his tiniest bingbongs), all his composure... slowly melting away still in a very tempered manner, all his gentleness with his babies - despite how chaotic he can also be sometimes, all the gentleness they show him (because they're definitely echoing the kindness/compassion/safety Jin has shown them - I promise you if Jin was a cutthroat hyung 'behind the scenes' - they would not respond like this in this context.

people who know me/have been following me a while know this is a big deal - because I fear Jin the MOST loll

Jin: not quite.. minced garlicccc...(waiting for V to finish)
V: oh minced garlic... half!
Jin: half a spoon
V: half a spoon of minced garlic.. and THEN half an onion!
Jin: that's right - doesn't matter how big, just half an onion
JK: but re: the onion you can do it according to your preference
Jin: yea you can do it according to your preference..
JK: the minced garlic and onion you can do according to your preference
Jin: an onion can have a bit of spice to it so if you let it soak in water a bit.. that helps (because V cannot eat spicy food)
JK: and if you soak it in water with a little bit of sugar..it helps it too
Jin: that spicy kick fades away faster
V: okay i understand
::cheers::
Jin: if you prepare it that way, it's really good
JK: but forreal ..it was so good ..that...
Jin: it's good to eat with meat
JK: you know yoon nam no right?
Jin: yoon nam no chefnim?
JK: yoon nam no chef - he puts chojang and sesame oil together eats sashimi by dipping it in that
Jin: sure
JK: do you think it's kinda the same principle? (we're talking sauce principles here friends)

this is how much V cares about the principle of sauce LMAOOOO
Jin: oh yea ..so if you just swap out gochujang for chojang and follow the recipe - it's really good for sashimi
JK: right? yea.. it was so good.. w/ the sesame oil ..

V: then one of the foods you (Jinsshi) most enjoy recently is the pen shell clam??
Jin: I've been eating a lottt of pen shell clams recently - so you know how we've been filming a lot on site recently..
JK: kiso? (penshellclams + soju)
Jin: joso? joso?
JK: joso?
Jin: jogye (clams) & soju
V: wowww ... (to JK) you're more samso? (samgyupsal + soju)
JK: oh i mean i like.. clams.. i like samso too..
Jin: that's why we ate both today
V: ah..
JK: that's right
Jin: and we had the alcohol I made too
V: cuz for me honestly.. unless it's like a social gathering where someone says 'let's drink' and it's a must to drink - then I have never once voluntarily brought out alcohol by myself
JK: when you're alone?
V: yea
Jin: me neither - i don't do *solo drinking either
JK: really??

hahahahahaha aw kookooball and his whiskey fridge lmaooo
*혼술 (honsool) = 혼자(alone/solo) 술(alcohol); like a solo drinking session - this is not the word for an alcoholic's level of solo drinking but if you enjoy a glass of wine solo or enjoy drinking a bit on your own, each time you did it - would be like a 'honsool' session/moment type of thing

V: and for me too.. even when I meet up with my alumni friends or friends in general - I almost never drink.. because when some people really want/crave that combo of like samgyupsal and soju ..well for me, personally, i prefer samgyupsal and cola...
Jin::laughs at V's cuteness: sure that makes sense too
V:....was the type of person I USED to be.. BUT!
JK: ohh that's right - he's (V) trying to start drinking soju now - he has started soju
V: right!
Jin: cuz taehyungie never used to drink at all
V: yea i'm just trying to start nowadays.. but I was like oh! is it because I've inherited my dad's blood? it's stronger than I thought
JK: but even so.. there's the brand that you (Taehyungshi) have been into lately right? I mean we can't say the brand but..
V: yea.. but the reason why i like it is because it's very mild/weak (in terms of alcohol content)
Jin: oh really?
JK: it was yummy
V: ai well

::cheers::

Jin: how was the traditional liquor I gave you today?
JK: it was so good.. i thought it was so good
V::THUMBSUP:: (what a bb) i kept only drinking that one

Jin: you know Master Park Nokdam, who filmed content with me - this is from the batch he made for me
V: I mean even starting with his name - Park Nokdam - it sounds like something from the mountains
Jin: because it's similar to Baengnokdam Lake (백록담, in Hallasan Mountain) - but it's the liquor he made for me, if you'd like, I can give you a few bottles
V: oh! i'd be so honored if you gave me some
Jin: he sent me a lot recently as a gift so I could enjoy a lot of it so..
V: my parents would like something like that
JK: thank you [Jin]
Jin: JungKookshi - I didn't say I'd give you any
JK: thank you
Jin: I said I wouldn't give you any
JK: thank you
Jin: I'll give you some too
JK: thank you
Jin: alrightyy...

V: yes.. everyone (HAHAHAHA pleaSe note how sleepy V looks, and note I said sleepy NOT necessarily tired you know what I mean? he doesn't look ragged from lack of sleep.. he looks like a toddler about to fall asleep..)

JK: ...now Jin hyung, you have to sing though
Jin: ..i..
JK: DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WANNA HEAR YOU??
Jin: no but I truly have the sense that something terrible will happen if I sing right now
JK: aishhh
Jin: so I think that's a no go from me.. now that I'm older.. my tolerance has decreased a bit...so

V: !! Jin shi, but I heard a rumor that next year you have something really cool preparedddd
Jin/JK: ...and what is that??
V to JK: oh i figure if I throw out something like this - it'll force him to do something
JK to V: AHHHH then you have to do it again..
Jin: aishhh [super done with the bingbongs]

V: Jin shi.. next year I heard you're preparing something TRULY outrageous..
JK (now playing along): i heard this and i was SO surprised..
Jin (fighting for his life): WHAT DO YOU MEAN ..we have our tour next year - what even could I prepare???

V: but i heard you're preparing something
JK(now outright piling on): oh but i heard it was DURING the tour..
V: I heard you have this special gift for ARMY..
JK: like an unbelievable gift..
V: that's the rumor I heard.. are you now telling me that it's false??
Jin: ME??? since birth to now this is the first i'm hearing of this - ME???
::cheers::
V: no but my information is solid.. so..
Jin: now of course if our Taehyungshi is saying this - then I have no choice but to prepare something- but truly I have never prep.. forget prepared.. have never THOUGHT about this before.. but if you (Taehyungshi) officially put it out there like this - then I can prepare something
V: then I formally ask - please prepare something..
JK: oh then let's do this.. next year..
V: the three of us??
JK: no not the three of us - but each of us.. should prepare something..
Jin: okay then.. i
V: no should we do something the three of us??
Jin: no taehyungshi ..i'll make another song like 'SUPER TUNA' so would you be interested in participating?
V: ...oh not at all
Jin: oh really.. in that case, I won't have anything next year
V: ..ah...

JK: what would you do instead of super tuna?
Jin: there's something that I have in mind..
JK: ...pen shell clams, right? please look at this smiley kookoo trolling his hyung
Jin: hahahahaha
JK: it's super pen shell clams, right?
Jin: no it's not super pen shell clams .. I was thinking of maybe trying one more thing with a similar concept to super tuna but
JK: so would it be some kind of seafood.. or what?
Jin: so i haven't decided on the type of thing yet ..but i guess.. to put it simply like.. a *병맛 type of song..
JK: like a B-list type of vibe?
Jin: B-list vibe, B-list vibe type of thing but this B-list vibe..would..
V: you mean like.. **i'll harvest wild ginseng or something?

병맛 (byeongmat) = literally translates to 'sick taste' but is used to describe something that is so bad it's entertaining? - intentionally dumb, bizarre, like low-budget/cheesy type vibes.. so of similar 'nonsensical' 'wtf is this' kinda vibes as 'super tuna' was when it initially came out to NO ONE's expectations lolll

**i'll harvest wild ginseng - i have NO idea what he's talking about - as far as I know, this is not an idiom.. or meme ref.. i have no clue what he's saying...

JK: so you mean moving further inland? (since tuna is seafood..😑😑😑)
Jin: should I try something like that? you know how there's like top-tier premium pork.. or something (😑)
JK: pork??
V::laughs::

V: I, personally, would love it if you (Jin shi) did something like.. uhhh... cuz you know how you're (Jin) the *face of our group right??
Jin: ...how am i the *face of our group??
JK: oh right..

*간판 (ganpan) = lit. billboard/signboard, but here he's saying it as the visual rep/face of our group

V: you are the face...
Jin: how am I the face???
V: no because..
Jin: when two of our most iconic faces are sitting right in front of me?
V: no cuz.. i think, officially speaking, your face is the one that represents our group the most
Jin: how ..could i POSSIBLY show off my looks in front of these two* (Jin is so proud of his baby daughters. I cry for my 5th business day in a row. #sendwater #imdehydrated)

JK: wait but no.. i cannot accept that.
V: ..why?
JK: because you're both SO goodlooking
V: no but in my opinion..
JK: you are incorrect. HAHAHAHA awwww
V: I think Jin shhi is..
JK: you (V) are also plenty goodlooking..

(meanwhile...)
Jin: currently I'm peeling off my lip... ::laughs::
JK: no I TOTALLY accept you both
Jin: in MY opinion.. i think from our team - you two are the faces carrying us..
JK: what are you saying
Jin: no no cuz okay, I accept that I'm goodlooking - but I can also absolutely accept that there are better looking people than me
JK: no cuz i watched your episode of "Chef & My Fridge" (냉장고를 부탁해) - and I heard that you ranked "#1 in this place" "#1 in that place" "#1 in this other place" - i SAW all of that..

V: hyung, in my opinion, who you are as a person.. Jin hyung always shows himself as he is.. right? (to JK)
JK: yes that's right
V: like he's not fake.. and he doesn't try to put on airs.. but he just shares himself (Jin hyung) as he is and it's just that who that is is such an awesome person
JK: look at him even now - he's so honest
V: right and even in this very honest/natural state - he is comparably SO goodlooking.. that it's hard to relate..
Jin: wait- if YOU(taehyungsshi) tell me that I'm goodlooking .. this gets awkward for me fast cuz..
V: well cuz to be honest.. i can't do things like that.. ..things like 'SUPER TUNA' ..to do something like SUPER TUNA..

JK: ohh you mean like cuz he does things that are SO opposite to how he looks?
V: yeaa..
Jin: it's because I can do the things you can't do that we make a good team
V: so I'm saying ..if you (Jin shi) were to lean into the 'badass/cool' side of you..
Jin: ..so because we kinda do that with our albums.. is WHY i kinda did super tuna in the first place
::cheers::
V::resigning:: okay then do super bellflower root

*도라지 (doraji) = bellflower root, one of my FAVORITEEEE banchans of ever, it's a seasoned root and it's glorious.. and V misremembered what they were actually talking about earlier which was

*도야지 (doyaji) = pork

JK/Jin: you mean pork
V: oh pork?
Jin: top-tier pork?

they're the cutest in the land...they do an all hands in moment to do.ya.ji - instigated by the bb kookooball

Jin is delighted by his babies.

V: nae.. (to ARMY) you've worked so hard..

JK: the phone has not turned off..
V: oh really? what percent is it at?
JK: it's red [the battery icon]
Jin: it's 20..
V: it's at 2%
Jin: it's at 2% ::slaps himself in the mouth because it's probably actually at 20% but V wants to get off this live so he says it's at 2%::
JK: should we just wrap up with a song or..JK::sees Jin hitting himself and stops talking to laugh at him::

Jin: JungKookshi hasn't done his solo song yet
JK: i mean i don't have to do it ..
V: okay then do it next time
Jin: aishhhhh
V::laughs:: do it next time and for now.. for me today..
Jin: was the best time??
V: no for me today.. i'm going to sleep next to JungKookshi
JK: oh no -that you can't do
Jin: oh then imma squeeze right in between you two
V: i'm sorry but JungKookshi
Jin: your opinion doesn't matter
V: that's right - because the hyungs' opinions matter more

kookooball reconsidering all his life choices up til this point

Jin: cuz today when I came..
V: you already planned for this, right?
Jin: no cuz i mean this is Jung Kook's house right?

(hopeful kookooball)

Jin:..so essentially from the moment we arrived to his house - JungKook had no say

(disappointed kookooball)

V: i have on opinion I'd like to put forth - might you be willing to hear me out?
Jin: can you whisper it to me?
V: ..no. imma just say it
JK::incredulous laugh as he repeats Jin's words to himself::
V: okay cuz in reality.. we earned Jung Kook's bed together right?? (as in, the money from their GROUP earnings is what bought him his bed LMAOOO)
Jin: heyy you have a good point there!
JK: HOLD ON A MINUTE - because then YOUR HOUSE (to Jin) and YOUR HOUSE (to V)
Jin: no but because I'm ALWAYS grateful to our members, I..
V(cutting off Jin): your bed is my bed...and my bed is my bed..
JK: your(V) house=my house. my house=hyung's house(Jin). hyung's house=my house (Jin). hyung's house=my house(V).
V::gigglyaf at this::
Jin: true.. all our houses are shared houses.. (to JK) but JungKookshi, I have that thing though..
JK: okay then as of today.. let's all share our house passcodes
V: OKAY!
Jin: ...o.k...please hear Jin's voice wither away as he answers LMAOOOO

V: okay! thanks for your hard work today (to ARMY)
Jin: waitwaitwaitwait - before you turn it off - I really have to say this bit (to JK), JungKookshi, you've been to my house right?
JK: yes
Jin: I have a 'thankful to members' shrine at my house
V: oh right right right - please tell us about it
Jin: I'm always so grateful to our members and I live my life that way - so every morning before I leave for schedules
I have a shrine of our members that I look at when I wake up in the morning..
I printed out all the 'family photos of our members' over the past 10 years
and made this shrine and before I leave for work in the morning
I bow in their direction to 'thank them for letting me wake up in this place today'

kookoosays big thumbs up for my mamabird
my love for our members is this big.. my gratitude is THIS big..

(a 3-way handshake because they're the sweetest)

JK: you know the pics we took at FESTA?
Jin: it's been about 10 years right?
JK: i mean yea we have a lot of 'family photos' from over the years - those photos.. did you have 7?
Jin: no 10..
JK: 10? woww - so he has all those laid out and then next to it - he has all our trophies
Jin: yea and I have our trophies there..

V: I don't put any pics of myself around my house..
Jin: is that so?
V: yea that's a little cringe for me ::laughs::
Jin: well yea I also don't put pics of just myself around my house but the ones of our group (all together) - I do; you're all such god-like entities to me - so then every morning when I wake up, I bow "thank you for letting me wake up in this place today" and then go to brush my teeth
V: I see.. okay let's do our last toast and then
Jin: okay okay
JK: thank you all
::cheers::

(as they're about to sip)
Jin: so [both of us] right next to Jung Kook ::sip::
V::sips & nods in agreement::
JK "no no no" ::sips::

V: everyone, we've been BTS - next time, i mean we told them we'd come back as Bangtan anyway..
Jin: that's right
JK: is this still going? [the live]
Jin: oh wait a sec.. oh wait a sec..
JKcurious bunn: why
Jin: [alo]

please note how curious is the bunn
Jin: okay i did it once
JK: wait a minute ::looking for his branded stuff::
