Ateez as Cheesy Christmas Movie Plots | X-mas 2021
Heyoooo, so a while back I made a post called, “Pentagon as Cheesy Movie Plots”
I had so much fun making that one, I figured why not get into the holiday spirit than by a Christmas version!
Lastly, a special thanks to @ultjoohoney99 and @lova-woo for help with making decisions/editing! <3
Hongjoong: Hongjoong became the adult he always feared - addicted to work with rare time off. He lost count of how many holidays he missed just to put in some overtime ; living alone meant he had no one else to attend to. You have a little dog-walking business that keeps you busy 24/7 too, but you’d rather spend the holidays with animals anyway. You two would meet on Hongjoong’s walk home, flirtatiously exchanging numbers. Slowly, as Christmas approached and your city prepared for the festivities, you and Hongjoong started going on winter themed dates: ice skating, attending festivals, ect. You both found a new meaning for Christmas, and spent it together at Hongjoong’s place - with a decorated apartment and delicious, homemade holiday cookies.
Seongwha: Seonghwa is an overworked lawyer who was looking forward to taking a break for the holidays. You’re somewhat of a watchdog journalist, waiting for your moment to strike on the hot-topic scandal of the season. Right before his much deserved vacation began, you visited his firm to begin your investigation. There was instant tension and chemistry as you asked him questions, and by the look in his eye, he felt it too. Seongwha ditched his getaway after that - wanting to fight against your article, and you both eventually ended up in the court to settle the case. Seongwha was successful in bringing the win to the victims, and after having a sudden change of heart, you apologized for the commotion caused; the humility would show Seonghwa a new side of you, leading up to wonderfully spent Christmas: together.
Yunho: You and Yunho lived in a small town and every year around the holidays, your family opened up their annual Christmas tree farm. One summer, the mayor announced a festive upgrade: a factory for artificial trees. The CEO in charge just so happened to be your father’s very own childhood rival, choosing to open the factory just to fuel a competition spanning over a decade and a half. The major issue: it would take your family's land. You would start small for support: confiding in your childhood best friend/crush Yunho for help. With him on your side, you were able to drum up enough petition signatures that overturned the company’s plans. Of course you’d fall in love in the process and Yunho would start working for your family's business, enjoying nothing more than spending time with you on Christmas.
Yeosang: Raising a little human was a lot harder than Yeosang thought; After adopting his young niece, the holiday season was putting a lot of stress on his shoulders. He hasn’t hosted a Christmas celebration for anyone, let alone a child. One night, up late contemplating plans, he encounters you, alone and cold, walking along the sidewalk in front of his house. You’re the ghost of Christmas past. You’re welcomed into his home and by his niece, showing Yeosang what Christmas could be like for her through the eyes of his younger self. Together you create an unbreakable bond, teaching one another patience, faith, and how to open your heart. But upon the fateful morning, your time with him was supposedly up; that was, until, by the wonder and festive magic, you were granted your own wish: to join in and spend Christmas with the one you love most, Yeosang.
San: When the holidays came along, San wanted nothing more than to go back to his hometown. His manager agreed, as long as he would return to LA in time for his televised concert on Christmas Eve. When San came home and toured the town with his parents, he’d rekindle with you at your parents' convenience store. You and San always had a crush on each other and seeing each other for the first time in years, your love for one another sparked again. Leaving for the concert would be extremely difficult for San, it also meant his upcoming tour would keep you even further apart. As you watched San on your own TV, he dedicated his opening song to you, before ditching it entirely, hopping on the first flight back home to spend the holiday with you.
Mingi: Mingi was a musician who was in the early stages of burnout - DJing at a reputable ski lodge for various events. You were a bride-to-be with cold feet; everything had gone wrong, as if the universe was screaming at you not to go through with it. Your bridal party was having their separate parties a few days before your Christmas wedding at the lodge. When you met Mingi, there was an instant connection and you couldn’t take your eyes off of one another. You bonded over similar interests and Mingi’s excitement over the holiday shows coming up. The night before the wedding, you spotted your fiance kissing your Maid of Honor! You took the situation as the last straw and called off the wedding, choosing to spend Christmas with Mingi instead.
Wooyoung: Wooyoung was a King-to-be, and as spoiled as they come. His parents were running out of time to get their son in tip-top shape for his upcoming coronation in the new year. Desperate for results, they ship him off to a standard small town to be hosted by a commoner family, with you among them. First impressions at school weren’t the best for him either - it was gonna be a bumpy few weeks. The whole month was a process to get through, but when you started taking Wooyoung Christmas shopping for your family, you saw a spark of change in his persona; including him sending Christmas presents home to his own family. With his change of heart, you started seeing Wooyoung’s sweetness and couldn’t help falling for him. One thing you didn’t know was that Wooyoung was preparing a heartfelt present for you! On Christmas morning, Wooyoung made sure to exchange last. Your present was a beautiful set of jewelry; earrings, necklace, bracelet and all - and the most tear jerking confession of love you’ve ever heard! When his last week with your family came around, he couldn’t bear to leave without you, and offered you a priceless position as his Queen.
Jongho: You and Jongho were co-workers who shared an equal amount of distaste for Christmas. Being called a Scrooge was more than annoying, so despite working in two separate departments, you and Jongho bonded well without hearing the comments of your peers. In your department, your coworkers had started asking you if you had a date to your boss's upcoming Christmas party. You, of course, told them no, and that you weren’t even planning on going. Little did you know that Jongho was going through the same torment with his own colleagues. As you talked about your experience over lunch, you decided it would be best if you two went together to finally put an end to the teasing. There was a Secret Santa gift exchange all the while, and both of you were obligated to participate in attendance. As you shopped, as well as wrapping the presents, you never realized how much of a crush you had on one another. On the night of the Christmas party you two put on your best forced smiles and mingled with your coworkers. After an hour or two, you realized that pretending to be a couple wasn’t so bad after all. The cherry on top was the excitement on your coworkers face when she opened her dancing cat figurine. Maybe the holidays weren’t as terrible as you thought; especially with the sweet kiss you shared with Jongho under the mistletoe.
