"How did we blow up?"

Hyung! It's time I've come to bother you. Seems I'm always doing so with Seonghwa hyung but I need more time with you. I know we're gonna be busy in the following months but I can just be practically glued to your side if you let me. @joongbuggy

[joongbuggy]

"Oh? You don't want to bug Seonghwa today? Did you guys have a fight that I'm unaware of? These next few months will definitely be chaotic but we will get through them as we always do. Glued to my side huh? Why though, give me a reason."

[fyiglen]

Exactly, just take the compliment and always remember that I only speak the truth. I'm sure they're great as well! For a little while? I don't know about that, I don't know if people would forget you in only a few years. My dude, if I do, I don't even notice because my flirting skill is the worst.

[joongbuggy]

"Are you sure you're not just nice to everyone? I feel like that may be the case more than anything. Well, eventually they'll grow out of ATEEZ, right? It's bound to happen, we all grow up and grow out of things we once liked. Okay maybe ten to fifteen years, still though. Oh, bull, I bet you are dating or something along those lines. It's not a bad thing you know, you deserve that."

I love what I do so I am going to stick with that. Haha. Oh, I can imagine. Yeah, that is a good way of putting it.

[joongbuggy]

"Well I mean, to do what you do still requires a lot of talent. You can't just show up to set one day and say here I am. Life is weird, I think somehow though, we wind up where we belong."

[fyiglen]

You're young, you're handsome, I understand why girls and boys are all over you, and you should enjoy the craziness, Hongjoong! Of course you would have to do it with your security taking care of you, but still, throw your fans some kisses and make them drool, it's a beautiful thing to see, trust me.

[joongbuggy]

"I wouldn't go that far, though I will humbly take the compliment. I have many members who also tend to come with me and are above average in charm and looks. I guess you're right about that, It's only gonna happen for a little while in my life. Therefore, I might as well enjoy it. I'm sure you have people flirt with you often as well."

[biiiiiebs]

Tell me about it, my dude. Did you get to the part where you can't even walk on the streets? It's crazy, isn't it? People say I'm rude but I wonder what they would feel if they were in my shoes.

[joongbuggy]

"Oh I know, I'm not really used to needing so much security. You go from nobody caring about you, to your every mood being watched. I don't think people really get how drained we truly are either. Yes okay, everyone works. The difference is, we never really stop working."

[harryekane9-blvd]

I couldn't do what you do. I have seen some clips of people performing and sometimes just simply getting somewhere and the fans are going crazy. I think I would feel the same way as you to if it was like that for me.

[joongbuggy]

"I like to say that it's easy and some parts are. However, some parts are just gruesome, to the point you wish you never did it. Just make sure it's something you really love before proceeding. I was a trainee for ten years, think about that. Yes though, the fans are at the next level. Though as long as I keep my limbs, I love them."

You knew I was going to tease you so do not act shocked. Like I said I do not think your fans would harm a hair on your bodies if actually given the chance. You are right, Ashley and I are two peas in a pod and would be there for one another through everything. That is so you cute you are calling him your person, does he know this?

[joongbuggy]

"Well, the fans, maybe not. However, there are things we call saesangs. Which is essentially our version of someone being an obsessive or stalker fan. A lot of them will follow idols all the way home. The issue is that in exchange, most idols don't bring their security to their homes, for privacy. They threaten to leak texts, photos, etc. That would actually ruin more than just us with this group. Nobody in Korea would take us."

[lvcyhcle]

And here I thought you all knew how to protect yourselves, I am learning things every, single, day about you all. I do not think your fans would do anything to actually hurt you. I could be wrong though. How have you been other wise?

@joongbuggy

[joongbuggy]

"Listen okay, some of us can. San can, Seonghwa can, Jongho and Yunho can... the rest of us helplessy grab onto them as we head back to the dorm. I usually run right to Seonghwa and likewise. He's like my person, like how Ashley and you are."

Are they trying to actually rip your limbs off? Dude, that's crazy! When you say you're small - how small are we talking? Maybe you should get a big dog.

[joongbuggy]

"They actually grab our limbs and try to yank us off the stage. I can be mean when I need to be, a bit like a protective bear with her cub when it comes to my boys. I saw everyone trying to grab a rose thrown off stage with the boyz, they totally obliterated it. Like what if that was my body? How big are we talking? I'm five-eight."

[joongbuggy]

"Don't get me wrong, I love all the fans. I also really love intact limbs for myself and my members. I somehow think that fans girls and boys are getting more intense over the years, or security is getting scarce. Maybe I'm just nervous because I'm small? I'm not ashamed to say it either."
