jinsjade:

I can tell you now for a fact that all the members respect jin even though it doesn’t seem like it because they joke around with him, they all respect him a lot & even though they don’t constantly compliment him, it doesn’t make their respect or love for him any less. I wanted to take my time with this post because I wanted to highlight how much respect each & every single one of them have for him.

Let’s start with Jungkook. Jungkook respects & loves Jin to a very large extent. Why? Because Jin isn’t just a member he met, Jin is someone who stayed with him & helped him when he came to Seoul at the age of fifteen. Jin is the person who stayed with him & showed him around Seoul & played a very important role as his big brother at the time & still does till this very day. When they were trainees, they were always together. Eating together ( “speaking of the trainee days, we went out to eat a lot. I remember when we had singing lessons outside of the company, we used to eat together after the lessons everyday and then we went back to the dormitory together. Always asked for different menus. It was fun.”), going places, watching movies, they were literally hand & hand with each other & all of that amounts to the great respect Jungkook has for Jin till this day. Jungkook used to be timid around Jin, he cared about a lot of things (”at first, shall I call it walls, I cared about many things. But then we became comfortable with each other, we went out to play, ate, played games and worked out together. To be honest, there are times where I feel that you’re younger than me”) because of their age gap but Jin made it easier for him. It didn’t take him long to feel comfortable around Jin & that’s because Jin has such an easy-going, comfortable personality that anyone can get along with. He really is the member in Bangtan that makes everyone feel comfortable. Jungkook loves Jin. No one should ever doubt that respect he has for him because Jin was support for him, comfort for him, & as he noted before, Jin is one of the people he feels comfortable with. Their bickering is really just a sign of their closeness towards each other & the insults, well, Jin is his older brother, he can’t always let him live because as he’s grown, Jungkook likes bothering him for fun & Jin understands that. Yeah sure, he makes fun of his age, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect him, in fact, the fact that Jungkook is even able to make fun of him, given their age gap, is evidence enough that he’s comfortable with him. Although Jungkook doesn’t remind us all the time that he loves Jin, he has his own way of showing his love for him. When they were together on Let’s Eat Dinner Together, Hodong said “you guys must be good friends” & Jungkook, before Jin could even speak, responded with “we are”. When Jungkook was asked to write a message to Jin, he responded with “Jin hyung, my everything” (& I think the response ‘my everything’ is already clear enough about how much Jin means to him) but of course, when Jin responded with the same he had to change it because he probably realized he was being too soft lmao to “Jin hyung is my sometimes annoying brother”. Even though he doesn’t full on compliment him at times, calling him his “big brother’ says a lot of what kind of figure Jin has been for him ever since he came to Seoul & I personally believe that says a lot. And Jungkook doesn’t always insult him either. When Jin felt down about losing in Run & blamed himself for it, Jungkook immediately said that if you’re on Jin hyung’s team, you’ll always win. When Jin lacked confidence during Let’s Eat Dinner Together to ring the doorbell, Jungkook encouraged him & told him “you’re worldwide handsome, don’t worry”. Even during one of the Wings video, when Jungkook & Jimin were choosing their favourite solo performances, Jungkook talked about Jin & his improved vocals. During their anniversary, Jin wrote his closeness with Jungkook to be very close but Jungkook didn’t check until someone read it out loud & immediately looked to check what Jin wrote. When he saw the ‘very close’, he looked up & did a thumbs up to Jin & nodded his head in approval. Jungkook, in Jin’s words, is his companion puppy because literally, in spite of everything, Jungkook is always following this boy around. He even helps him cook! They’re even starting to merge into each other nowadays. When asked who he wanted to be with forever, Jungkook responded with Jin. The bickering & insults is what shows that Jin & Jungkook are close. Don’t let the insults get to your heart love, because I can ensure you Jungkook is ready to follow Jin to the ends of the earth if he has too. Jungkook literally cannot last a second without touching this boy’s neck multiple times or fighting with him or not even letting him live for a second. It’s a “special relationship” as Jin calls it. This is why I love their relationship so much & you will always see me talking about it because they have such a beautiful sibling relationship that even Jungkook’s older brother is whipped. And Jin? Jin will never be tired of Jungkook. I think that’s physically, mentally, & emotionally impossible because he knows what he’s worth to Jungkook & the fact that they have such a strong bond in spite of the age gap says a lot. Jin literally clings onto him just as much as Jungkook clings onto him. & let’s not forget that Jungkook originally wanted to write a letter to Jin during Bon Voyage 2 but that didn’t end up happening & let’s not forget that Jin wrote a letter to Jungkook that he didn’t make serious because he’s Jin lmao but Jungkook thought it was going to be serious lmao which it wasn’t. Please watch this every time you feel in doubt. It’s short in length but it’s a moment of their brotherly love.
