TK-Lives loves obscuring facts 2 keep her delulu Taekook theories afloat & downplay Jikook's bond. She convinced her minions the boys' accounts of 9/1 don't add up when, in reality, if u hav 2 functioning brain cells, all their accounts line up. So let's break it down. A THREADđź“ś
If you pick and choose what you want to see/hear from the boys' accounts of the night, it's easy to feign confusion and skew what happened to support your own ship. But if you actually put EVERYTHING the boys did & said on 9/1 together, the timeline becomes ABUNDANTLY clear.
I didn't need a Google sheet to piece all of this together, because I have functioning brain cells and actually LISTEN to what the boys say, but since some people don't (*cough* Taekookers *cough*, I decided to lay it all out for you.
I peiced together everything we know from that night using BTS' quotes from VLIVE (light purple quotes) and from the press conference (dark purple quotes), and broke down the concrete timeline using timestamps on their tweets and Weverse posts.
Despite Taekook-Lives insisting nothing adds up and everything contradicts each other, everything actually adds up perfectly. So here we go. These are the FACTS and EXACTLY what happened on 9/1.
9/1 @ 12:09 AM KST - JIMIN WISHES JUNGKOOK HAPPY BIRTHDAY

So we know Jimin is up at this point. https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/1300450737495838720
Things go silent until 2:42 AM KST when BILLBOARD SHARES HOT 100 CHART.

Taekook-Lives said Jimin was the second person to find out when that simply isn't the case. No one said that and there is no information to suggest that's the case. Here's EVERYTHING the boys said.
RM and Jin were the first two members to find out about the chart. Jin said that he saw RM post the fake BB chart 10-20 minutes before the real chart went live in the GC. Jin was the only one who responded, so RM posted on Weverse and then went to bed.
Tae found out and posted on Weverse at 2:52 AM, making him the third person to find out based on what we know.
Taekook-Lives attempts to obscure what happened next because, admittedly, there is no official timestamp for some of the information the boys shared on VLIVE and during the press conference. But it doesn;t take rocket science to line up their stories on the timeline.
Around this time, V contacted Jimin (I'd guess text, or he cld have conceivably called & left a message) asking him to come over to his place bcuz he was 2 lazy to go to JM.

Jin also posted to Weverse and then fell asleep. (He said on VLIVE that he fell asleep around 3am.)
(DISCLAIMER: These are EXACT quotes from the subtitles on VLIVE and their press conference, not me paraphrasing or twisting their words like SOME people.)
Here's where Taekookers begin doing somersaults & twisting the boys' words into knots 2 avoid reality.

On VLIVE, Jungkook was a bit cagey about when, where, & how he found out, & it's unclear why. But TK-Lives is using this to dismiss all the other info we know as FACT.
JIMIN FACTS:
- Jimin said he found out after 4am. (press conference)
- JM was with Jungkook (press conference) & he delivered the news to him. (VLIVE)

JUNGKOOK FACTS:
- JK said he found out "later" (press conference) and was overwhelmed. (VLIVE)
While Taekookers want to say these things can't co-exist, they can.

Jimin found out after 4am, as he said, and told Jungkook, who he was with.

AFTER 4am is "later" than the other members who found out between 2-3 AM.
Already, these FACTS (because these ARE facts) are disproving the theory that Taekook were the ones who were together.

FACT: Tae found out around 2:52 AM (he posted on Weverse about it).

If he was with Jungkook, wouldn't he have told him? Why would JK say he found out later?
Nothing is confusing about what happens next.

Now that Jimin, the social butterfly that he is, found out the news, he began calling the members with JK, as he said. I would guess that he called the members that were active online.
First Jikook called RM. There's no exact timestamp for this, but Jimin didn't find out until after 4am and RM literally said Jimin woke him up, so it had to be around 4:30ish. Jimin also said "we" talked to RM during the press conference, meaning he and JK were speaking with RM.
Now, I find it funny that Taekookers are latching on to the fact that RM only mentioned speaking to Jimin as if their whole theory about Taekook being real hinges on the idea that they're hiding their relationship.
Here's a wild theory: Jikook were cagey about who they were with when they found out, and the other members only mentioned Jimin, because they were worried what fans would think if Jikook spent the night together. WILD THEORY, RIGHT?! Not.
Now, Jimin (and thus, Jungkook) had a series of phone calls with members after this. I would guess Jimin got in contact with V next since he probably had a text from him on his phone from when V found out.
J-Hope posted about the news at 4:52 AM and Jimin responded on Twitter shortly after.
Suga tweets at 4:58 AM KST about the news, and I'd guess that Jimin either called him to wake him up and tell him, or Jimin called him after he tweeted. In any case, they were off the phone by 5:07 AM KST, when Jimin tweeted about their conversation.
Again, people are using Suga's quote during VLIVE about how he "talked all night" with Jimin to suggest he and Jimin were together as if there's no concievable way Suga would exaggerate how long he spoke with Jimin.

We know they were off the phone at 5:07 AM. FACT.
After this, Jimin tweeted a few more times, and fell asleep around 7.
Then a lot of things happened where we don't have timestamps. Jimin bought Jungkook his cake. Jin & Suga (at least) commuted to Big Hit together. Everyone had a drink together w/o RM. The boys visited Bang. They talked nonsense for an hour together. Then they filmed their VLIVE.
Feel free to tell me if I missed anything or have a problem with anything I laid out here, but, as you can see, nothing the boys said contradicts the other boys' stories whatsoever. That is, unless, you have an interest in keeping delulu theories alive.
There's one more thing I want to address: Taekookers are latching onto the fact that Jungkook didn't say he was with Jimin to obfuscate the facts and suggest Jimin was lying when he said he was with Jungkook at the press conference.
For the record, as I laid out here, Jimin would have detailed how he told Jungkook the news had RM and Jin not interrupted his story. It's not like Jimin being with Jungkook came out of nowhere on press conference day.
Jungkook was very much subdued during the VLIVE and beginning of the press conference. I would guess that he was maybe nervous about saying the wrong thing. Because his reaction to Jimin revealing they were together once and for all was, to me, one of happiness and relief.
Immediately, after Jimin had revealed they were together, Jungkook and him began vibing. Completing and responding to each other's answers (how they wanted to perform was their first thought, and Jimin adding on to JK's story about recreating the meme).
Haters can play dumb all they want, but the facts support exactly what Jimin said: He and Jungkook were together when they learned about the Billboard Hot 100.

You can take that fact however you want when it comes to shipping (it admittedly does not mean Jikook is real).
But don;t try to say Jimin was lying, or that the facts support Jikook being with other members because that literally goes AGAINST the facts.

And that's that on that.
One more thing: Someone who knows some Korean mentioned that when Jimin was telling his story about his phone call with RM, the pronoun is vague (could have been "I" or "We.")
Even acknowledging this, and allowing for JM's story to have been told with "I" spoke to these people, all these accounts still don;t contradict each other because Jungkook could have fallen back asleep and Jimin spoke to the other members alone.
Adding one more thing a lovely ARMY gave me a heads up about: I missed that Suga actually posted onto the Weverse feed that he found out at 3:05 AM KST. This actually FURTHER PROVES he was not with Jimin, who found out after 4am.
Screenshots of the entire timeline coming shortly.
Here is the complete timeline.

FACTS:
- ORDER OF DISCOVERY: RM, J, V, YG, JH, JM & JK.
- V wasn't w/ JK bc V found out at 2:52 & JK found out "later."
- JM wasn't w/ Suga bc YG found out at 3:05 & JM found out "after 4."
- Jikook were together bc JIMIN FREAKING SAID THEY WERE.
Some doubters keep asking how RM knew Jungkook cried a lot the night before if they weren't together. Simple: Someone told him Jungkook cried before they filmed the VLIVE. It could have been anyone... Maybe the person he was with? Jimin.
