NJ calls TH “명석하다“ which does mean “intelligent” but it’s not as commonly used as other words that mean the same thing

the urban legend is that TH started using this word after asking NJ “what’s a cooler way of saying ‘똑똑하다 (smart)’?”

they still use this term, presumably an inside joke btw them

1) NJ ig story
i am not qualified to translate LOL it appears to be a philosophical examination of love, (co)existence, and pain

2) TH ig story
🐯 i also have a book next to my bed, kim namjoon @rkive

3) NJ ig story (repost of TH’s story)
🐨 kim taehyung is now actually astute

NJ’s IG story of a page in a book. here’s the transcription if you wanted to go to your translation app of choosing:

의식적으로든 무의식적으로는 사랑도 했던 것이다.
이렇게 세상의 짜임새에 대한 눈이 뜨인다. 고통을 겪을 능력이 있을 때, 존재자는 그저 기계적이고 공간적인 병 존 Neeneinander을 넘어서서 진실한, 다시 말해 살아 있는 공존 Micinander을 진실로 실행하는 것이다."4 고통이 없 다면 우리는 사랑하지도 살지도 않은 것이다. 삶은 편안 한 생존을 위해 희생된다. 오직 살아 있는 관계만이, 진정 한 공촌만이 고통을 줄 수 있다. 반면 생명 없는 기능적 인 병존은 심지어 그것이 파괴될 때도 고통을 주지 않는 다. 살아 있는 공존을 죽은 병존과 구별시켜주는 것은 고 통이다.
고통은 결속이다. 모든 고통스러운 상태를 거부하는 사 람은 결속 관계를 맺을 능력이 없다. 오늘날 우리는 고통 을 줄 수 있는 깊은 관계를 피한다. 모든 일이 고통이 억 제된 안락구역 안에서 일어난다. 《사랑 예찬〉에서 알링 바디우는 어떤 데이트 포털의 광고 문구를 인용한다. "아 품 없이 사랑에 빠지는 것은 전혀 어렵지 않습니다!"45 고 통으로서의 타자가 사라진다.

TH ig story, presumably of a bedside table and books but it’s very close up so i can only make out the pages portion of the books

NJ ig story. reposting of TH’s ig story. NJ captioned on top of it in white letters

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "Until the Hellebores Bloom"

Below that is the summary - “So, darling? Do you think you will like it?”

“I do not know, husband.” Namjoon turned around to smile at him knowingly. “Will I get to stay here long enough to see the hellebores bloom this winter?”

It had been two straight winters now that his opportunity to see the flowers in full bloom had been foiled by their plans to relocate.

“That is entirely up to you, Namjoon,” Taehyung answered easily. “You only need say what you want out loud so I can do my utmost to ensure it.”

On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Taejoon; Teen; Complete; 7.4 k"

The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "au - historical, established relationship, they’re in love your honor, implied murders and murderers"

@lavishtae.bsky.social

he looks…. lowkey extraterrestrial here. beautiful boy, exquisite camouflage. he spent a long time sculpting his human form. he wanted to blend in so badly. he wanted to learn what it meant to be human.

taehyung’s tirtir ad, one of the photos from the photoshoot he posted on insta. he is showing 3/4 angle in this portrait, wearing a sleeveless black knitted shirt with some stylistic holes/abrasions and a side-gap between the collar and collar line. there are thin chains on his neck. he looks out of this world, like he’s made of porcelain.

to fifteen years of making music together 🐱🐨💕

my artwork to celebrate namgi's 15 years of knowing each other. yoongi and namjoon stand in a record store. namjoon has paused as he reaches out to browse to instead shine a smile down at yoongi, who is gazing tenderly at an orange LP he is holding. the LP cover is orange, says '15 years', with an illustration of a cat and dog. the artists' names are 'runch randa and gloss' as a nod to their pre-debut times.

namjoon is wearing a baggy light blue jumper, with 'RESPECT' written across the chest. he has a brown bag handing off his shoulder. he has one hand on yoongi's shoulder. yoongi is wearing a dark grey-blue hoodie with a cat doodle on it, and a dark blue backwards ballcap. behind them is a wall with various records on, including all the LPs released by the members, as well as those of namgi's musical influences. in front of them is a waist-high shelf with 'bangtan records' written on it. more LPs are stacked there, with yoongi's d-day and namjoon's indigo at the front.

the inspiration behind this was all about their love of music, which was their very first bond, especially as their taste was so similar back then. music is one of their love languages.
