Interview
You took small breaths as you sat in the room reviewing the questions you had written down. Hearing the door open, you shot up immediately bowing to whoever had entered.
âNice to meet you!â You heard laughing.
âCalm down, theyâre not ready yet.â You sighed seeing your cameraman walking in the room, âWhy are you nervous about this anyways? This isnât your first interview.â He stated.
âI know, but do you know who it is?"
"Ateez?"
"Yes, theyâre perfect and amazing, plus I actually really like all their music! They donât have a single bad song.â He chuckled at you.
âSo does this mean you have a bias?â You nod.
âI love all of them, but if I really had to pick, Iâd choose between [bias], [bias wrecker] or San.â The tone in your voice rose as you said that.
âAh, San the pretty boy right?â
âTheyâre all pretty, what do you mean?â He laughed at that.
âBut I heard San is pretty popular.â
âI know. Donât remind me.â You sat back down, âIâm trying really hard not to be taken by any of their beauty.â You paused, âIt sucks Mingiâs not here though, but itâs for the best. Iâll only have to worry about [bias wrecker] and San.â
âEither way, thisâll be good. So even if you mess up thatâll be fine.â You nod.
âI sure hope I donât mess up.â Just then, you two heard the door open and you turned seeing San walking in. You gave him a sweet smile and bowed, he returned it.
âNice to meet you.â He said in english. You stood normally and nodded.
âUm, Iâm gonna say this to all of you, but to prevent any confusion Iâll say it now. You guys can talk in Korean, we have a translator and ask any time if you donât understand something.â San nodded.
âAh, thank you!â You smiled and turned to look in your bag, your camera man gave you a certain look, but you just rolled your eyes and got ready for the interview.
âŚ
The rest of the boys had gotten into the room and they were finally ready to begin. You did your usual by introducing the group first and asking them to individually introduce themselves after. Once that was over, they could finally get into the questions.
Things seemed to be going somewhat alright, that was until you got into fan questions.
âAlright, so weâve asked some of our fans to ask you guys some questions. The first comes from MinaTellsALot, she says you can call her Mina.â The boys nodded and waved to the fan, âHer question is; out of all of you, who is the person who thinks theyâre the most attractive?â The boys chuckled before looking to each other, it was then San spoke.
âDoes that mean weâre pretty boys?â You stared at him, he just stared back, âIsnât that what you-â You suddenly shifted and knocked over the mug you set on the table beside you, spilling the liquid all over the floor.
âI-Iâm so sorry!â You moved to get something to clean it up with. Now on the floor, San was down there with you and he was still speaking.
âSorry I scared you⌠I just really liked that you called me a pretty boy.â You looked at him with a red face, âI think youâre pretty too.â You didnât know what to say and just got up.
âL-let me go and get someone to help with this!â You left out of the room as quickly as you could.
âWhere are you-â You cut off your cameraman and left the room. San just smiled to himself and got up returning to his seat.
âWhatâd you say?â The boys were speaking in Korean now.
âOh, before, I heard them talking and they said that I was a pretty boy. It was nice, so I said it back.â San explained.
âWe canât say stuff like that.â Hongjong said.
âWhy not? Itâs true!â San whined back.
âStill, thatâs probably weird here.â San pouted, âBe sure you apologize.â San just sighed and nodded.
âŚ
You eventually returned and when you did, you had gotten someone to mop the floor. You sighed and held the back of your chair as you tried to stay calm. You then felt someone touch your shoulder, you turned and saw San standing there.
âHi⌠um, Iâm sorry for saying what I did.â You stared at him, âI didnât mean to be rude.â Looking him up and down you noticed something.
âWell⌠it wasnât like that. Iâm just kind of⌠awkward.â You said in Korean getting Sanâs attention.
âYou speak Korean?â You giggled meekly.
âJust a little. Itâs not very good.â He smiled brightly.
âNo, thatâs a tough word!â You smiled at him, âBut, I really do think youâre pretty.â You looked off.
âThank you, maybe⌠we can meet again? Hopefully I wonât spill my drink that time.â San laughed and nodded to you.
âSan, come on!â He heard someone behind him say. He did so and you cleared your throat with a hopeful smile now on your face.
I went on a small binge of Ateez content after finally getting a break form school work and I somehow also got bias wrecked by none other than our Choi San. So I decided to write this as I canât stop thinking about it. So...

Soft Beginnings
   You honestly werenât the type to cry about much, things rarely bothered you and if they ever did you never felt the need to cry about them. However, this time around you couldnât keep up that brave face you normally upheld. You didnât want to be at home, but you didnât think youâd break down in public.
   You were thankful to have been in a pretty isolated area as you softly cried to yourself. This seemed somewhat trivial to you as you thought more about it, but that only made you feel even worse.
Everyone had always told you getting a regular job was the way to go. Not venturing off into the hopes of becoming some overnight sensation, it caused you physical pain to think your work wasnât any good, and as you remembered the disappointed look your parents gave you before you left out on your own, you felt like crying even more.
   The coolness of your hands chilled the warmth of your tears as they ran down your face and arms. You tried to soften your voice and hoped everyone would just ignore you. However, you heard someoneâs footsteps and quickly tried to hide in order to clean your face.
âExcuse me?â You heard them say. Your hands went up to your face quickly, but you tried to pass that off as you just scratching your face. You eventually looked to this person and couldnât help and stare at him. âIs something wrong?â He asked.
âHuh?â You shook your head suddenly, âNo, nothing is.â You gave him a smile, he then puffed his cheeks slightly.
âWell, do you mind if I sit here?â You wanted to tell him you did mind, but you just shook your head. He smiled and removed his bag as he sat down. âMy name is San by the way.â
âOh...â
âY-you donât have to tell me your name. I just kind of wanted to tell you mine.â He said that slowly causing you to smile. He laughed at that as well before sitting with his hands together. âBut what are you doing here?â
âI was just studying,â You showed him the notebook you had opened to a nondescript page, he nodded and said nothing causing you to speak up. âSo, can I ask why youâre here at least?â
âWell, I really came here because I never had the chance to go in here and I've always wanted to. Itâs just kind of weird to go in a place alone for me.â
âI get that.â You said softly, you still somewhat felt like crying and brought your hand up to your mouth. âB-but I think I should get going now.â Sanâs hand suddenly came out and took your notebook.
âYou donât have to leave... I donât want to embarrass you, but I saw you crying and was a bit worried.â You just stared at him, â...You can tell me if you want. Iâll listen.â A part of you wanted to think he had some other motive as to why he was even concerned about you, but you couldnât help it and confined in the stranger and your hands went back to covering your face as you went back to crying...
   San did listen to you, and even after a good hour of you not being able to speak properly, he was still there and trying to comfort you as best he could. Eventually though, you did calm down and were able to look at him fully.
âWell, would you want my advice?â
âNothing could hurt.â You said, he nodded and looked to his hands.
âI get why you feel like nothing is working out, but if you just started itâs not going to. Youâll have to work really hard to even get halfway there and even if you do mange to get there, you might still feel like your work isnât good enough... so, I think don't think you should just give up. I say, think about what you actually want to do, if this is too much right now then support yourself as best as possible; but if you really want this for yourself you have to know that times like these are going to happen.â He looked up and gave you a heartwarming smile. Your eyes went to his dimples as they brought a smile to your face. âOkay? Just remember that one day youâll be able to smile with all of your heart and this will just be a distant memory.â
...
   After that, you had gotten out of your slump and returned to your work. You spent countless hours on your laptop trying to get your blog up and running again and even if your photos still werenât doing well, you liked them and hoped to improve in the coming days.
   Soon after you had gotten back into your normal flow, you returned to the cafe to look at the pictures you had taken earlier in the day, but thatâs when someone approached you. However this time, the person tapped your shoulder getting your attention.
It was San again! He was slightly hunched over meeting your gaze as he stood just a few inches away from your face. His mouth turned up into a smile and you once again saw his dimples. He then let out a soft and tender:
âHi.â
Master List~
Okay so, I just got this idea after thinking about how much the dreamines have grown since the Chewing Gum era, I donât know if Iâll do this for all of them, but for right now Jaemin will be the only one.
Enjoy reading~
How Long itâs BeenâŚ
You were a bit upset at the moment, not for anything serious, but for the fact that Jaemin, your friend of seven years, decided to call you and asked that you hang out. Why were you mad was because all the other times you had tried to meet up with him he would be too busy being a trainee to even see you. Of course you knew that wasnât his fault, but you still wanted to be mad at something.
Currently, itâs been four years since you last properly seen Jaemin. Since you saw Chewing Gum that was the last time you had seen Jaemin as you schedules never matched properly. You were eager to get to see your friend, but you didnât know what to expect. You were thinking about it as you walked to the place Jaemin sent you; you werenât looking up, but saw someoneâs feet in front of you. You moved to keep going when someone grabbed your shoulder.
âHuh?â You turned and saw a face you couldnât forget. âJaemin?â
âYeah, you walked right past me!â He complained.
âSorry,â You said putting your phone away, âI was thinking about⌠no I shouldnât apologize! I should be yelling at you since this is the first time in litteral years that weâre meeting in person!â A smile came to his face.
âI know, but you know thatâs not my fault.â
âI know, but I still want someone to rant to.â Jeamin laughed at you, to your unamusement, âThis isnât funny.â
He rebounded and stopped laughing almost instantly, âOf course it isnât!â He said going to your side, âThatâs why I think we should hang out all day!â
âReally?â You said.
âYeah, who knows if stuff will come up so we should make the most of today.â It sounded pretty good, but something just felt a bit off about this. âWhat do you say (Y/n)?â You looked to his face as he was looking at you while walking.
âYeah⌠sounds good.â
âŚ
You were pretty alright in the beginning, but as the day went on and you and Jaemin began just sitting out and talking, you couldnât shake a weird feeling you were getting. Jaemin noticed your silence and stopped talking to get your attention.
âW-what?â You said, Jaemin smiled.
âYouâre really quiet. Are you sure we know each other?â You rolled your eyes.
âOf course, because your jokes are still the same.â
âThen why arenât you talking?â He began, âThis was supposed to be us catching up.â He sounded as if he were whining, so naturally his voice rose in pitch and thatâs when it hit you!
âThatâs it!â Jaemin sat back at your reaction, âThis whole time Iâve been wondering why you seem so different, but thatâs why! Your voice got deeper and your face changed a bit. Of course you look older but you-â You stopped mid-sentence. Jaeminâs look urged you to go on, but you just couldnât. âUh⌠your faceâŚâ You tried to come up with something else as what you were going to say wasnât something you wanted him to hear.
âMy face what?â Jaemin said.
âN-nothing! I-I forgot honestly!â You defended.
âI doubt it, you remembered my jokes werenât funny.â
âWell, whatever I was going to say doesnât matter anymore.â Jaemin let out a small chuckle, you looked to him seeing that the smile on his face was getting bigger by the second.
âI donât know what you were going to say (Y/n), but how about I say something instead.â You sat back in your chair and nodded. Jaemin got up and went over to you, he crouched down and rested a hand on your face. âAm I more your type now?â

Hello everyone! Hope you are all being healthy and safe with all this sickness going around. I am a 19 year old, broke college student. I am looking to buy myself a crappy car so I can be more independent and not have to rely on my abusive parents. My dad is physically abusive and my mom is verbally abusive. Iâve handled it pretty well for the past 19 years because I thought that was love, but the more time I spend with them the worse my mental health gets. I only recently realized that I was living in an unhealthy environment. My parents never let me have a job because they wanted me to rely on them and I need to move out of this place as soon as possible. I secretly got a side job thatâs helping me earn some money, but very slowly. Itâll take me about a year until I can have my own place and until then Iâll just live in a car so I am begging you to please help me in anyway you can. I would be grateful for even a penny. If you truly canât spare me anything then please just reblog this so others can see it. Thank you so much and have a great day!

Five days of Mark (5)
   After the night ended you and Mark finally went to bed exhausted from the day. Christmas was the next day and you two slept in, it wasnât until almost one in the afternoon that you woke up and decided to celebrate Christmas. As you both got out the gifts you got for Mark he opened them and happily accepted his gifts.
You sat with your bear in your lap as he thanked you for the gifts.
âSee? Isnât just just so relaxing?â Mark said nothing, âMark?â He looked to you and nodded.
âYeah, but thereâs something you need.â
âAnd whatâs that?â He told you to stay there as he ran off for his bag. He came back again with something behind his back. You were surprised.
âI thought you said you didnât know what to get me?â
âThatâs still true, but while we were out I saw the perfect gift to get.â He looked down shyly. âYou might not like it though.â
âJust show me.â He grunted and opened his palm showing two silver rings. âI-I figured we could have it so even if weâre not together we can still t-think about each other. I-I really hope youâll always think about me the way I do you.â You let that sink in for a moment. He grabbed your hand and slipped it on your finger.
âMark this isâŚâ You were at a loss for words, you just looked up to him, pulled him in for a hug and thanked him a million times for the gift. âI really love this Mark⌠and you.â He chuckled.
âI love you too (Y/n).â
Merry Christmas to everyone reading and have a Happy New Year!

Five days of Mark (4)
   Mark had been putting up the boxes as he finished putting the last of the ornaments on the tree and was now just waiting for you to get out of the kitchen; but you were having a predicament of your own.
You stirred and stirred the mix for almost ten minutes and still there were chunks of powder still inside. It hadnât dissolved when you poured the milk over the mix so you tried putting it over the stove, that didnât help as now you were just stirring for what felt like hours.
â(Y/n)?â Mark came inside the kitchen. âWhatâs taking so long?â
âI donât know, this mix isnât melting.â Mark hung over your shoulder seeing what you were. He watched as you stirred for a while.
âMaybe it suppose to be like that, or maybe you have to add more milk?â You shrugged and tried anything and you kept stirring with the same result. Eventually Mark was tired of standing and went to read the instructions.
âIt doesnât say anything.â You said.
âIt has to, how else are we going to know what to do?â You sighed as he turned the container all over and found nothing.
âI told you.â You said sighing. âMaybe weâre not suppose to add milk.â You said. Mark shook his head.
âHowâs it taste?â You shrugged and brought a small spoon full to your mouth. In an instant you groaned going over to the sink to spit it out. âWhatâs with that reaction? It smells good.â You drank some water and shook your head as the bitter taste still hung in your mouth.
âI donât know but donât taste that itâs horrible!â Mark went over to the pot and lifted the spoon seeing how thick it was. He then left the kitchen and came back with his phone. You finally recovered from the bitter chocolate and went to Mark. âWhat are you looking up?â He then covered his mouth as he started to laugh. âWhatâs so funny?â His laugh went from quiet to practically rolling on the floor. You were about to get mad at him when he finally calmed down enough to show you what he was looking up.
   He had found the brand that you were cooking with and you read the sentence ââŚused for baking cakes or rich chocolate icing⌠You felt embarrassed as Mark only laughed more at you.
âThis isnât even hot chocolate mix!â Even though you were as embarrassed as you were, Markâs laughing relaxed you a bit, you even joined him in laughing at your mistake.
   When you two finally calmed down Mark suggested just eating something warm and calling it a night. You agreed and told him to cook whatever he wanted as you were done with the kitchen for one nightâŚ

âYou were making cookies?â Mark said getting inside of your house not bothering to take anything off.
âYeah, I have to make one more batch though.â You said as you went to him, mark had already stuffed his face with cookies and turned to you with a guilty look. You just laughed at him. âYou know, you could help me if youâre just gonna sit there and eat them all.â He nodded and quickly removed his jacket and went to wash his hands. You thought about something and decided to tease him.
âWhat can I do?â You got the mix from the cabinet.
âThis is easy, itâs pre-made so all we have to do is add the butter and egg!â Mark turned to you.
âSo what, you need me to mix the butter?â
âNo, it has to be softenedâŚâ You went to the fridge and got out an egg. âJust crack this egg and mix the dough while I soften the butter.â Mark looked a bit worried for one reason or another. Before he could argue with you you left to get the butter. You really didnât know why cracking eggs was so nerve wracking for him, but boy was it cute to see him struggle.
   You watched him as the butter softened and saw how focused he was on cracking the egg. Eventually, after some strange noises, he got the egg cracked and picked up the spoon and began to mix the dough. You went over to him with a fork.
âHere, itâs easier like this.â You demonstrated how to use the fork and he happily began to mimic you.
âThis is actually really easy.â
âI know.â You said coming over with the butter. âIf you want you can roll them into balls.â He snickered. âYouâre such a kid!â
âWhat?â He went over to the other bowel you had that was pretty much empty of dough. âI was just thinking about you dancing.â
âAnd thatâs funny?â Your threatening voice cause him to turn around and apologize. You smiled. âLetâs just hurry up, Iâve been doing this all day and Iâm tired.â
âOh, maybe we can have hot chocolate after this.â
âAnd have a domestic Christmas?â
âWhat?â
âI donât know either.â He laughed.
âBut yeah, weâll have a domestic Christmas.â You laughed.
âOkay, I have some Hersheyâs hot chocolate mix I wanted to try. I think itâll be really sweet!â
âThey have that?â You nodded.
âItâs just been in my cabinet for like a month now, so weâll try it together.â Mark nodded and pulled at the dough to make the cookies. You knew you wouldnât get all of the cookies done with Mark joking around, but you didnât mind as long as it was with MarkâŚ

   As you walked back to your place Mark was looking around at all the stores that were still open, you were talking about nothing in particular when he suddenly cut you off.
âWhat?â You said. He turned back to you and shook his head. âYouâre not about to say it was nothing, because that would be a really stupid lie.â
âIt wasnât nothing but⌠do you mind if I go in here?â He pointed to a convenience store.
âWhy?â
âI just want to get something, I was too stressed to eat.â You sighed and caved in.
âCome on, let's go then.â
âNo!â
âYou donât want me going in there?â You asked.
âNo, I just think you should go and get warm somewhere else.â You really didnât know what was wrong with him, but you were cold and just wanted to get warm or home soon.
âOkay, just hurry up.â You said, he nodded and you two separated respectively.
âŚ
When Mark came back he found you walking around a bookstore, he found you and you two began to walk back home again.
âWhatâd you get?â You asked.
âHuh?â
âFrom the convenience store?â
âOh, there was nothing in there.â
âThen whyâd you make me wait this long?â
âSorry, I thought I saw something I wanted in there.â
âYou really owe me, I had to endure people staring at me thanks to this bear.â
âYou could always give it bac-â
âI didnât say that, he just belongs at home, not in public.â Mark smiled.
âWho cares, itâs a show that someone loves you.â You felt your face grow hot for a moment.
âStop being so corny.â He laughed at you.
âBut sorry I made you wait.â
âItâs fine... letâs just get home already.â

Five days of Mark (1)
   As you moved to get the last box of ornaments, your phone suddenly went off. You went over and saw that Mark had texted you saying he wanted to meet tonight, you didnât know why and asked where he wanted to meet. He responded fairly quickly so you put aside the decorations for later tonight. You got your things and left to meet him.
âŚ
   You got there quick enough and found Mark standing with his hands stuffed behind his back, you approached him with a smile.
âYou know, you could have just come over.â You said, Mark looked at you with a flushed face. You couldnât tell if it was from the cold or not. âHow long have you been out here?â
âNot longâŚâ He simply responded.
âOkay⌠then whyâs your face all red?â He grunted and tried hiding his face. âIf you donât tell me whatâs up Iâll leave.â He said nothing, you shrugged. âAlright see you-â
âNo wait!â He grabbed your wrist and still stood there stubborn as usual. You gave him a stern look and eventually he let your wrist go. He then pulled what was behind his back and in front of him. It was a large teddy bear, itâs Santa hat flopped around as Mark held it still.
âI-itâs for you.â Mark said with a strangely nervous voice. You giggled and took it with a smile.
âItâs so cute!â You took it holding it in your arms. âIs this why you wanted to see me?â His hands went back behind his back.
âYeahâŚâ You stared at his face.
âWhy are you pouting?â Mark grunted.
âIâm not pouting!â He defended.
âSays the person who can actually see your face.â You said, âJust tell me already.â Mark looked off touching his nose as he spoke.
âI just wish I could get you something more special on Christmas.â
âThatâs all?â You said.
âWhat do you mean thatâs all? Thatâs serious!â
âWell yeah it is, but who cares?â You paused, âThis is our first Christmas after all, I didnât know what to get you either, but thankfully you talk a lot about the things you like.â
âHey!â You smiled.
âBut really this is perfect for our first Christmas and any Christmas after this. I donât really care about getting gifts all too much, I really would like at least one, but thatâs all.â You smiled, âBesides, how about from now on we just write down whatever we want and just get whatever off that list.â Mark pouted once more. âWhat now?â You said.
âYouâre just so into Christmas, I feel like a bad boyfriend because I canât make it special for you.â
âYouâre not the first person Iâve met who isnât all into Christmas and you wonât be the last. I just love this time of the year, when it snows we get to be together and relaxed, itâs cold so thereâs nothing really going on, and itâs the end of the year so all our grievances get to stay behind us. Itâs fine if you donât think like me, Iâm fine with it just being me.â
âAre you sure?â You nod. Mark gave in and nodded to you.
âBesides you took me from something very important.â
âDidnât you say you were just putting up decorations?â
âYeah, thatâs important!â You said, he rolled his eyes.
âLike that, you have all these traditions and Iâm not in any of them! If weâre supposed to be dating why donât we spend Christmas together?â
âI didnât think you wanted to put up with how much work I do.â
âI donât really care, I just wanna be with you.â He grabbed your hand. You smiled and closed her eyes.
âThen how about this, we start our very first tradition together. Every year weâll meet up somewhere, one or both of us will have a small gift to give the other and weâll go home and finish setting up the tree.â
âYou just came up with that?â He asked.
âOf course, I love making things up like that, I might even let you in on another tradition.â
âWhatâs that?â
âWhen I put up the tree I play music and dance and sing all over the place.â Mark laughed a bit.
âYou must really love Christmas.â
âI do,â You rested your head against his shoulder. âAnd thank you so much for this.â
âYeah, it was nothing really.â You giggled and and began to walk back to your place hand in handâŚ

I got an idea
New Kpop group
Name: Youâre four, please stop attacking me
Happy Birthday Hongjoong!
Everyone loves you and youâre the only leader~ Letâs have another amazing year together!
Day 4: Happy Birthday!
   âSo thatâs good?â Hongjoong asked you, you nodded as you brought him more paint and sat beside him.
âOf course itâs good, I still think mine is better.â You said. He laughed and looked over at your shirt, then he nodded. You two shared a laugh for before he moved to stand up. When he went to the door you made a noise. He turned back shocked.
âWhatâs wrong?â He asked, you got up and dragged him back over to the table.
âYouâre not finished and itâs dripping.â He reacted and cleaned up the running paint, he held his finger there hoping that it wouldnât run anymore. He then looked to you.
âThen can you go and get me something to drink?â You smiled and got up and left the room. Hongjoong throught it was weird that you were so willing today, normally heâd have to put with a condescending remark from you, but you were being⌠nice today. He was going to wonder why, but you returned but you didnât have anything in your hands.
â(Y/n), really?â You smiled and went over pulling him up. âWhatâs wrong with you?â He stumbled to get up as you pulled him out of the room. You dragged him until you both got to the main room. It was dark, but in seconds the lights came on and you were on the other side of the room with the rest of Ateez.
âHappy Birthday Hongjoong!â He looked to you all, he didnât speak for a while. Then you went over to Hongjoong with a big smile.
âAre you surprised?â You asked.
âY-yeah, a little bit.â You laughed and pulled him over to everyone as they began singing happy birthday to him.
âNow make a wish already.â Wooyoung impatiently said.
âYeah, make it a good one.â You said. Hongjoong looked at you before smiling and making a wish...

Day 3: Trust me
   There was something⌠strange about your friendship with Hongjoong. Not in a bad way, but you were almost certain he liked you. You did like him back but he did next to nothing to show his interest in you. Almost like he didnât want you knowing about his crush. Did he not think you liked him? You knew this was a dangerous thing, but you had to ask for help.
âYou like him?â Seonghwa said.
âYou didnât know that?â Jongho said, you looked to him.
âHow do you know that?â
âItâs obvious⌠Right?â San backed him up and nodded.
âWell I didnât know!â Mingi announced.
âMe either.â Wooyoung said. You had enough.
âOkay, so else âknewâ?â You asked. Yunho rose his hand. âSo Yunho, San and Jongho knew and Seonghwa, Mingi and Wooyoung didnât. So now that thatâs settled will you guys help me?â
âWhy donât you just tell him?â Jongho suggested.
âIf I could donât you think I would?â He shrugged. âWell I donât know if he likes me back or not, so I donât want to take the chance and ruin our friendship.â San stood at your words.
âDonât worry, I know exactly what to do!â You worried about that. âDonât be so stressed,â San began, âJust come back tomorrow and Iâll tell you what weâre going to do.â Hopefully San had the best intentions, so you nodded and now just had to wait.
âŚ
   You did as San said, despite him not confirming this plan with you, you still went to their dorm. You were anxious and felt like the breakfast you had was coming up. You were at the dorm door and when you went inside, it was silent. There had to be something wrong. You went further inside and heard Hongjoong call your name.
âYou got here quick.â You were confused. âSan said there was something you needed to ask me?â You could just kill him! You felt your face turn red, Hongjoong noticed that. âW-whatâs wrong?â Embarrassment overcame you and your hands went to your face as you tried to calm down. Hongjoong kept asking what was wrong until you spoke.
âI asked them for help⌠because I need to know do you like me or not.â You didnât look up and focused on your hands.
âD-do you mean like as in dating do I like you?â You nod dreading the worst now, âWell⌠Yeah, I donât think I hid it well.â Your head shot up.
âFor real?â Hongjoong nodded, you felt the tightness in your chest finally go away.
â... Are you asking me⌠because you like me too?â Your mouth moved to answer him but Sanâs voice answered for you.
âSee? I told you she liked you!â You looked to San, thatâs when Hongjoong spoke.
âGuess you werenât lyingâŚâ You were more irritated than relieved.
âDid he tell you I liked you?â Hongjoong nodded.
âI was really happy, but I didnât know if he was just tricking me or not.â Your eyes closed and you were calmer⌠well you werenât anxious anymore.
âJoon⌠weâll talk about this later okay?â He smiled and nodded, you got up and turned around only to heard the door slam shut. San could run but heâd what he deserved soon enough.

Day 2: Are you sure?
   You were working on a story you were thinking of posting, while you typed away you didnât concern about editing as you wrote, so finally when you finished there were multiple typos and some things didnât make any sense, you found yourself thinking.
âWhat did I write that?â While you scratched your head trying to find a way to fix what you wrote it got later and later in the night. Thatâs when you decided to have a fresh pair of eyes read your work. It was only nine at night so perhaps heâd be up? You took the chance and called Hongjoong, after two rings he picked up. You explained your current predicament and heard him laugh on the other side.
âSo you want me to come by and help you?â
âIf you wouldâŚâ
âI will, Iâll be over in a bit.â
âOkay⌠thank you Joon.â You both hung up and you waited for Hongjoong.
âŚ
   Hongjoong came over as he said, it was now almost ten and he sat reading your work. You anxious waiting for him to tell you it was garbage. Once he finished he looked to you.
âOkay, itâs not that bad.â How? You thought. âYou just stopped something halfway then started writing something right below that then went back to what you wrote before, all you have to do is just move it where it belongs and use spell check.â
âSo itâs not a dumpster fire?â He laughed.
âNo, itâs actually really well written.â You honestly felt like he was lying and for some reason couldnât believe him. âIâm being serious!â He said noticing your expression.
âI-I just donât think you are.â
âWhy do you say that?â
âItâs just because you write like meaningful stuff in a stanza and I just wrote a paragraph about the need for meme class.â You shake your head, âNow that Iâm thinking about it, I must be high.â He couldnât help but laugh. You stared at him until he finally calmed down.
â(Y/n) we all do that itâs not like you canât write meaningful works you just have a time and place for it.â You stared at him, âNow, are you going to edit it tonight?â
âNo, I wanna⌠just stay up and talk with you.â A smile formed on his face, he nodded and rested his feet up on your table.
âI might fall asleep though.â He said.
âI think we both might.â You and Hongjoong talked through the night until you both fell asleep.

Day 1: Kiss-up
âOkay so does everyone agree that Hongjoong never gets mad at (Y/n)?â San declared, everyone nodded in agreeance.
âGood, so this means everyone is going to work together and help us expose them.â Mingiâs hand went up in the air. âYes Mingi?â
âWhy are we doing this again?â
âBecause, (Y/n) is always doing things to us and when we think Hongjoong will do something about it he never does, we actually he scolded instead.â Mingi nodded remembering now.
âBut wait,â Yunho began, âWonât we get in more trouble if he catches up trying to expose them?â San shrugged.
âProbably, but whatâs the difference?â Yunho couldnât say much else, Wooyoung interjected.
âNow we have assigned roles for everyone, make sure you understand what youâre doing and weâll start tomorrow!â Just then Seonghwa walked into the room seeing them all sitting in a circle with San and Wooyoung standing.
âWhatâs going on?â San went over to Seonghwa and smiled.
âDo you really want to know?â Seonghwa looked to him then his eyes went over the rest of them seeing how determined and serious they looked. He then shook his head. âGood, just know if we seem a little weird weâre not.â San started pushing Seonghwa out of the room despite his protests and San turned back going to explain the plan to everyone.
âŚ
   Things didnât seem to different even though you knew San and everyone was after you. Having done something really bad and not getting in trouble for it, you knew what could have been headed your way. You laid low for a while but still hung out with Hongjoong. You were at home when Hongjoong called you.
âYeah?â
â(Y/n) did you come back when I wasnât home?â
âNo, but why are you asking?â He said nothing before sending you a picture, you saw there a jacket you were pretty known for wearing right beside a trashed bed. You growled.
âNo, I wasnât there I was at home all day⌠ask Seonghwa if you donât believe me.â
âItâs not that I donât believe you, I was just wondering.â He said.
âOkay, see yaâ.â He hung up and you wouldn't believe them. You had to stop this before they did something to make Hongjoong angry and you knew the perfect thing.
âŚ
   âToday Mingi has to tell Hongjoong that (Y/n) was in his room, heâs the most trustworthy out of us all.â
âYou sure Seonghwa wonât get in the way?â San shook his head to Wooyoung.
âNope, he doesnât get involved unless itâs affecting him.â Wooyoung had to agree and they went back to lazing around until the door opened and you were there. Seeing you they both smiled calmly.
âHey (Y/n)â Wooyoung said.
âWhatâre you here for?â San asked not looking at you. You said nothing and walked over; they looked up and you presented them with a picture.
âIâm not too sure if you want this getting out to Hongjoong or notâŚâ The picture was of them on his laptop deleting some things. They did it by accident and you had bailed them out saying that you did it, Hongjoong was less angry and this was the perfect time to use this on them. âDid you forget about this?â They looked to you then suddenly were begging.
âNow come on, weâre not even doing anything!â
âYeah right, you almost got me in trouble for nothing, just because you want me to get scolded at. I donât think so!â They both sighed.
âOkay, weâll stop.â You smiled.
âGood, now if I hear him ask me another thing Iâll just send this to him, no warning.â They both sighed and nodded to you. You smiled and made your way out of the room. You headed for the main room and found Hongjoong sitting there. He looked up and smiled at you.
âOh, youâre here?â You nodded and sat beside him.
âCan I hang out with you?â He nodded and happily began to speak to you meanwhile San and Wooyoung watched in disgust.

Happy Birthday To our fruit splitting maknae
Have a wonderful, amazing, happy birthday!
I hope you enjoy reading~
We meet again
   Jongho was never the type to show his too many of his emotions, but after your sudden leaving he couldnât help but hate that he wanted to see you again. Itâs almost been a year since you you staying with ATEEZ. Everyone was somewhat upset that you left on rushed terms, but everyone they on pretty quickly, all except for Jongho who sulked for half a month and still wasnât over it even now even as they were preparing for their latest comeback.It wasnât like Jongho could just call you, he never asked for your number but was planning on asking you before you left properly. Looks like that plan got ruined. Hongjoong and Seonghwa were mainly the two people who confronted Jongho when it was obvious that he was upset.
âIt has been a long time now⌠Iâm not saying to forget about it totally, but think about our fans.â Seonghwa said, Jongho nodded.
âIâve been doing that so far havenât I?â Jongho said. They both wanted to say otherwise, but for the sake of not making an argument, they said nothing.
âWell, you can go back to normal after this okay?â Hongjoong said. Jongho nodded and stood up giving them both a forced smile. They didnât like that, but what were they to do? Now Jongho was happily smiling while talking to a fan, she didnât mind and eventually moved on to the next member. For some reason there was a small gap between her and the next person, he looked up to see why and saw your face. He nearly stood up knocking the whole table over, but you moved quickly to sit in front of him with a big smile on your face.
âHey Jongho!â Jonghoâs mouth remained dropped you laughed and spoke again. âAre you okay? Iâm not a ghost I promise.â Jongho closed his mouth finally and spoke.
âItâs not that, you⌠youâre here again?â
âYeah, Iâm sorry I couldnât get a better seat and made you wait even longer, but I did say I was coming back didnât I?â Jongho smiled and nodded.
âYeah, yeah you did.â Neither of you could contain your smiles, but there wasnât enough time to talk at the fansign. âWould the couch still be available?â
âOf course, we all did miss you.â He said.
âI missed you guys too, I canât wait to catch up.â

Day 3
Goodbye?
Jongho and you were spending some time together on the couch, he was singing some songs you had found out the other had liked. Every one had been doing their own thing and didn't mind you two, your sweet moment would soon come to an end as your phone went off.
"Hello... wait, wait calm down! Why are you so mad?" Jongho's attention went to you now. "Well I didn't think it would matter... I'm okay though... yeah... yeah I understand." Your face changed and only got more upset as the conversation went on. Jongho wanted to say something, you suddenly got up and left the dorm. When the door slammed shut, Hongjoong came in the room seeing Jongho without you.
"What happened to (Y/n?)" He asked.
"I don't know, someone just called, but they didn't sound to happy."
"Could it be the friend? I know they were suppose to stay together..." Jongho shrugged unsure of what to think. Hongjoong decided to wait with Jongho to be sure you were alright, but you took your time comming back. Eventually Wooyoung and San joined the waiting party and San was even trying to hear through the door when he was about to fall foward.
"Yep, that should fix the door..." San got up and stood in front of you. He gave you a big smile before he noticed your red eyes.
"(Y/n)...?" You kindly shook your head and moved past him and into the living room where you grabbed your bag and began packing your things.
"Woah, (Y/n) why are you packing?" Hongjoong said.
"I'm sorry, I just have to go now..." You said.
"Why?" Jongho asked. You offered a bitter smile.
"Sorry..." You collected a few more of your things before heading back to the door. "I have to go now." You didn't say anything else and made your way out of their dorm. Jongho went out after you but you stopped and told him...
"I'll come back..." With that you left.
