Ron Does Stuff

Diarrhea. Kayaks flipping over. Elbows to the nose. As much as they shot this as a slice of life thing, a lot of things happened on the first episode of Are You Sure? Let’s find out what else Jimin and Jungkook get themselves into!

After a night at the campsite in the previous episode, the guys — and the whole filming crew — are off to a new destination. But this time around, Jimin is in the Jeep while Jungkook is on a motorcycle. Not looking like a badass at all but very much a cutie bunny but I’m sure fanfic writers can either reshape this or use it as inspiration.

Jungkook if ever you decide to become an Angkas rider I am ready to pay any amount to be your passenger, yes.

While Jungkook is feeling himself on the motorbike, Jimin is being his usual playful self and asks the staff driving to spray some washer fluid onto the windshield so Jungkook gets hit as well.

I’m sorry but this first few parts are going to be me thirsting over Jungkook because I am so ready to be a gas station whore if Jungkook ever pulled up on a motorcycle to a gas station looking like that.I can’t help it, I think I’m gay!

The guys finally arrive at whatever unnamed hiking trail this is in New York State and Jimin shares how his view on hiking has changed over the years, with him now preferring to take it slow and take in the scenery. Me and my bum right knee are right there with you Jimin.

Can I just say I didn’t expect to miss these Bangtan skits so much, where they just slip into these acting exercises and shit and play around? Jimin pretending to know the spider and promising to introduce Jungkook to all the spider’s friends? KAKAGIGIL. It makes me want to go back and rewatch all the Run BTS episodes again.

The guys stop at a brook and Jungkook puts his camera down for a bit and Jimin does a knee showcase? Somewhere an ARMY with a very specific fetish is taking photos of this on their phone. There’s also a conversation about Jimin’s blood tasting like omakase which is why mosquitos loves him so much and I am sure some ARMY who write vampire!BTS fanfiction is already hard at work on that one.

AND THEN Jimin grabs onto Jungkook’s back and Jungkook is like you just gave me butterflies and for sure the JiKook shippers must be writing 10 million fanfics right about now. AND THEN Jungkook says he wants to try Jimin’s blood and Jimin says he’ll give him some later and OH BOY THE VAMPIRE!JUNGKOOK FICS ARE GOING TO QUADRUPLE.

Up next on the boys’ itinerary is the marina, where they’re about to go on a yacht ride. The most important discussion the two have is whether Jimin is going to eat something or not during the yacht ride, as the stomach bug is still very much an issue.

The yacht starts moving and I wish I could screencap Disney+ because Jimin just looks beautiful lounging under the sun? Jungkook laying down beside him? Make it into a desktop wallpaper.

As they head further out into the ocean they start cavorting on the yacht’s…bow? At least that’s what Google said. Jimin does a handstand and Jungkook tells him that he should watch out because Jimin might end up crapping himself and I’m gagged.

And then Jungkook starts inspecting Jimin’s body for mosquito bites and I’m all agog? What the fuck is going on in here on this day?

The cavorting? The punching? The fake pooping? My god the fanfic that’s going to come out of this. Also I can’t believe how often they’ve talked about poop and pooping in the span of two episodes.

After making sure that the crew on the other boat also has food to eat — so Jungkook of Jungkook — the two of them start eating their own lunch, which unfortunately gets Jimin’s stomach to act up. Pooping while on sea, I guess! As Jimin struggles to decide whether he should eat more and risk the poopy consequences, they finally come up with the title Are You Sure? for the show.

As they drive to their next destination I found it so endearing watching them celebrate the success of their songs on the Korean Top 50 of probably Spotify. It’s just so great to see that they…uh…see the efforts of ARMY to help them succeed.

I also love the discussion they have about songs they’ve written themselves and songs that somebody else wrote for them. At the end of the day, it really depends on what you want to accomplish with your art. There’s no right or wrong answer.

They arrive at a Walmart — I think the only commercial establishment named on the show so far — and I’m guessing this is where they meet the ARMY who recognized them. Anyways, they’re moving around and I guess it’s young person privilege that Jungkook can eat Twinkies and not have any trouble with it.

ANYWAYS. After a nicely edited segment where they look for each other in the vastness of this particular Walmart, \the boys are finally done with their shopping and show me that this isn’t the episode where they meet that one Twitter ARMY.

They finally arrive at their accommodation for the night which I assume is an Airbnb and if I was the host I would DEFINITELY advertise the fact that Jimin and Jungkook stayed there. You’d have a steady stream of interested renters!

Jungkook starts cooking “authentic” carbonara — Matteo Lane may have something to say about that — and Jimin fries skewers. And whether the recipe Jungkook found is authentic or not, the carbonara does look delicious. And who am I kidding it’s not like I’m Italian. I’d scarf down that carbonara Jungkook made.

And then we get to see Jimin play Jungkook “Who”! So you’re telling me this song has been done since last year? Anyways, watch the music video!

And once you’re done with the music video you can stream it on Spotify too!

After that short listening party the two of them are cavorting in a bed again? Fanfic writers are you seeing this? Are you seeing this? Anyways, fortunately for Jimin’s nose, the two of them sleep in separate beds this time around.

The next morning Jungkook has a Twinkie for breakfast and I immediately feel my hypocrisy because I wanna tell him that it’s not good for him but then I look at my own trash diet and I shut the hell up.

Besides, there are more important matters at hand as the boys start cavorting in bed once more. Oh if I could screenshot these things I would run out of storage space. There’s even a butt slap there.

AND THEN we get Jimin riding Jungkook’s motorcycle. Come one now. The fanfic writers are probably convulsing right now. Jimin even burns his leg so you guys can even add hurt/comfort somewhere in there.

Also I’m practically as hard of hearing as Jimin when I’m riding an Angkas or a Joyride or whatever. I cannot understand what the rider is saying saying at all. But they finally arrive at…I don’t know if this is a Walmart but it’s the place where they met the Twitter ARMY! At least from this interaction she seems nice!

Jungkook asks the ARMY if they can use the oven and I’m feeling like a proud mom again as he successfully communicates in English. Be more confident Jungkook you can do it! Your English is okay!

While the pizza is being cooked, Jungkook leaves Jimin to ostensibly look for a sponge but what he ends up getting instead are nachos and guacamole. And as an older brother boy do I relate with Jimin talking about searching for your younger siblings along grocery aisles.

The guys get caught in the rain and end up going back to their place by car, which makes me wonder if they just left the motorcycle out there in the rain. Do they just leave it there? Or does a crew member have to ride that instead?

Anyways, they get back to the house, eat the pizza that ARMY made, and then finally wash the dishes. Imagine if they didn’t need that sponge, that ARMY wouldn’t have met them.

With the dishes washed they’re off to have their last meal as Jungkook is headed to London and Jimin is headed back to South Korea. They head to a restaurant and are seated at a table with a view of a lake or something and babes we have places like that here too! The government should develop and preserve them better but we can probably come up with something similar!

As they wait for their food Jungkook walks out into the drizzle and the freaking editing? The background music? The monologue? The overdramaticness of it all? I love it.

The food arrives and I really wanna try that lobster mac and cheese. We basically get a mukbang but I gotta be honest that lobster mac and cheese is stuck in my head now.
