I first came across the inspiration for this theory when I was researching for Namjoon's chapter of Outro: Paradise. I was researching Eris--both the dwarf planet and the Greek goddess--and it somehow led me to the original telling of the Sleeping Beauty story. Apparently, the goddess Eris inspired the original story, "The Sun, Moon, and Talia" by Giambattista Basile and retold by Charles Perrault. 

In the original story, the princess has two children by the prince (yes, conceived while she was still asleep. It's gross and rapey, but from like the 1600's, so bear with me for a moment). These children were a pair of twin boys that she names Sun and Moon. 

Sun and Moon are, at point, kidnapped and meant to be killed to feed to their own father (I know, I know, but bear with me again),  however, the cook saves the two children and eventually a happy ending is found. The last line and moral of the story is, "He who has luck may go to bed, And bliss will rain upon his head."

The story is also said to possibly represent the changing of seasons. And, its certainly not the first time we've seen that theme in the BTS universe.

This theory actually focuses mainly on individual theory about Hobi and Jimin's characters.

To start, the two have been paired from the very beginning:
