when i tell you jungkook's pronunciation is perfect i'm not kidding with you. i had tears in my eyes as he was talking. the amount of love he has for us, to take the time to learn an entire speech in a language he doesn't know, and as difficult as french too, whilst delivering it so perfectly, is just beyond me. jungkook i love you endlessly. words will never be enough to describe my love for you, though i hear and feel yours so well. you made me so happy. ♡
