I finally succumbed to it.

IDK man, I was surrounded by the thoughts of babies from YG Treasure Box, TXT keeps popping on my feed, the name Huening Kai triggered my interests, so here I am. I watched the boys' individual teasers, they're alright. I saw the photos, yes they cute. Other than that, I wasn't really paying attention and I certainly didn't follow any of their social media accounts. I saw the countdowns but again, I didn't really care. If any, I was glad that the numbers are going down and they no longer trend every single time they release anything because phew. Less tension means less drama and it's better for my mental being. Now I can get into them on my own terms anytime without any pressure.

I did vaguely remember that they're going to release something after the last member teaser, and last night they did. They released an introduction film of them all together. It was super cute, bright, fun, light, cheery. They boys are super adorable and full of smiles. I have to say, I am weak for cutesies. I even memorize their names and their birth year smh.

Choi Yeonjun is the oldest born in 1999, he has sad eyes.
Choi Soobin was born in 2000. He's tall.
Choi Beomgyu was born in 2001. He's super pretty and he knows it.
Kang Taehyun was born in 2002. He's the tiniest of them all. He has super big eyes and nose despite the small frame of his face. Does this deer in a headlight face in his every photo.
Huening Kai was born in 2002, he's mixed and he's super adorable.

Some are saying that they lack distinctive individual qualities and they look too much alike each other but I for one, LOVE that they look like each other at first glance. It makes the group cohesive, fit for the flower boys youth theme they are going for. And like any other group you just got yourself into, they're not actually alike once you get to know them. I couldn't separate V from Jungkook the day I just got into BTS, which probably to some people is an impossible pair to get mixed up with.

The reaction I've seen online is mostly positive and I couldn't help but falling into the hype. Shit. I enjoy their faces so I followed them on twitter. Let's see what kind of music they'll do. BigHit is rolling out more teasers/stuff.

I see less TXT now on my timeline as the hype slows down and the people I'm following being extra cautious not to piss off 'BTS only' crowd. I got no friends though so I'm free to do whatever I want. I refrain from tweeting about them too though. Maybe I should switch my account back lol.

So there isn't a lot going on in the fandom right now, BTS is probably spending time with their family like previously this time of the year. No comeback plans yet, Big Hit is spewing quite a lot of shit for the fandom to latch on in the meantime. They're releasing HYYH The Notes, HYYH WebToon, Run BTS Episodes, LY Tour Seoul Merch, opening more orders for ARMY Bombs, etc. So far I'm not falling for anything that requires money which is good. My wallet needs a break. I was just enjoying puppy photos the boys posted on Twitter.

Jungkook. This kid. He's... I don't know anymore. He's very particular about scents and he loves doing laundry. Anyone who follows them knows this basic fact because the kid has mentioned this more than once. He's always in charge of washing the group's laundry during trips like Bon Voyage, too. So I don't know what has gotten into him but he has made a commitment to greet us ARMYs in the fancafe chatroom every Friday. He has been doing this pretty consistently for a while now which I am amazed of. In the last chatroom, he was casually making conversation about laundry (I supposed because some ARMYs asked), and he mentioned that for fabric softener, he's using Downy's. The variant is Adorable something he said, he wasn't even sure. And then what happened after that? ARMYs rushed to get that freaking fabric softener and it leads to a shortage. Two month worth of stock sold out in a day, it was insane. IT MADE THE FUCKING NEWS. P&G stock went up in Korea. JK tweeted that he's running out of his softener but it's sold out now. I... in one hand am scared with the power this fandom has. On the other hand, I'm really amazed at JK because he's this super popular idol on top of the world, he has anything he could possibly want and there he was, chatting with a group of girls talking about his favorite fabric softener because he still does his own laundry sometimes. WHAT THE HELL. It's really hard for me to wrap my head around the whole situation it's just so absurd. And I'm sure JK didn't mean for any of this to happen, he was just casually talking to a group of 50 people in the fancafe. That's super limited access and he probably didn't think it'll lead to this big of a commotion. OVER A FUCKING SOFTENER. This group is .... IDK anymore.

My share house has a very poor internet connection so I chose to wait until I'm home to watch Run BTS. I wasn't really interested in the cooking episodes because cooking doesn't excite me. And I bet the boys would rather be eating than cooking, too. BUT THIS EPISODE 59 OH MY GOD. I was crying with laughter. What a good episode. Right from the get-go they couldn't agree on how to do muk jji bba and then decided to do it kawibawibo instead. Once the group is formed, Suga has this evil idea to name his group which doesn't have Jin in it, Kim Seokjin for the many times Jin pushes others to use it as their team name.

So there they are, Team Kim Seokjin, Team Jji, and Team Bba. Jin mistakenly says 'Jji!' and then 'Jin!' every time which leads to hilarity. With Kim Seokjin Team and Jin keeps yelling Jin, Team Jji was affected and says Jin at times, too. At one point everyone's just saying anything like 'me!' or their names OMG. Tae was super cute when he was practicing singing the translated words while having one hand in the air ready to attack. When he feels like he was ready he screamed 'me!' and everyone was just dying of cute. And another cute little one is, of course, the maknae. He was just smiling and laughing with his big yellow oversized shirt. We all adore him, even the film crew and the staff. Jimin was doing the least, lol. He keeps saying 'I'm hearing nothing, I don't know how you guys do it'. Anyway, that episode made me laugh, sweat, laugh until I cried, and reminded me why I love them and that this is a more than enough way to enjoy the fandom.

SUGA featured in Lee Sora's song, it's already breaking records left and right. It's a really nice song but really ballad is just not my cup of tea.

Taehyung is hinting on his own song as well and again, his songs are just not my cup of tea. I wasn't a fan of 4 O'clock, and I'm sure I wouldn't like whatever he's coming out with this time, either.

Overall these are nice, peaceful days I enjoy without any pressure. I would love to see them again sometime soon, but in the meantime, enjoy your time off boys, and I will enjoy mine.
