How do Jin and Jungkook connect?
They connect quite a lot through “absorbing information” as in they teach each other things but it’s rarely through direct verbal communication of that information. It’s like they observe each other in a more serious light, but 8 out of 10 times that they are talking it’s more casual and lighthearted. Both of them contribute energy to the relationship that is in line with ease and purification, it’s like they can reset each other or bring clarity to something relatively easily in spite of the fact that they seem to be coming from completely different perspectives.
On a more conscious level, they are more in line with conscious level thought and action. Jin is seeing the confidence that he gets from Kook while Kook is seeing the knowledge and wisdom that he gets from Jin, both of them taking that and internalizing it to fit themselves more than just kind of copying and pasting it from one to another. That may explain the whole “absorbing information” thing and non-verbal communication of these lessons. It’s more like Kook inspires Jin while Jin sets an example for Kook. They’re not really sitting each other down and laying a lesson out on the table, but they are learning from each other.
That’s definitely not to say that that doesn’t happen, of course. I have no doubt that Jin has advised Kook, in fact, I’ve done readings before that suggested Jin advises Kook with business and money handling as well as long term plans with his career. Stuff like that I’m sure happens all the time, but this here is much deeper and is what is lending to their character, like they are contributing to the templates of each other’s personality in a very direct way.
