ALEXANDER CASTILLO + KIM HONG JOONG . HOONJOONG

Alexander and Hongjoong are the living definition of soulmates. They honestly bring out the best in each other and balance one another out so well.

Tons of intense eye contact and subtle touches.

About a million 'Xander + Hongjoong flirting' compilations made by Atiny.

Xander keeping Hongjoong company in the studio whilst he's producing and then falling asleep on the sofa together at 3am.

Painting each others nails. Impulsively dyeing each others hair.

Just soulmate things, you know?

ALEXANDER CASTILLO + PARK SEONG HWA . SEONGDER

Seonghwa is one of Alex's biggest inspirations, and he really looks up to the man, both in a career sense and personal sense.

Seonghwa's the one he goes to when he's feeling homesick.

Link arms a lot, especially in busy settings.

Will help Seonghwa clean the dorms; he finds it somewhat therapeutic.

It's also gotten to a point where Seonghwa feels comfortable enough to go to Alex with his own problems, as he knows Xander will help comfort him and won't tell the rest of the group.

They confide in each other greatly.

ALEXANDER CASTILLO + JEONG YUN HO . JIHO

The strange father-son duo that no one asked for, but got anyway.

There's four months between them, and yet Yunho acts like Xander is a newborn baby that must be protected at all costs. Xander just goes along with it ( he secretly loves being babied, but don't tell anyone ).

When Ateez visited his home, Xander and his parents took the group to the Harry Potter studio tour in Watford, and Yunho almost cried. Especially when his mum insisted on buying him something from the gift shop, along with a couple glasses of butter beer.

Yunho will often join him and Mingi in their room for a midnight gossip. Will also act as lookout for Hongjoong or Seonghwa telling them to go to sleep.

Practices his jokes for upcoming variety shows on Xander, cause he knows he'll be honest with him.

Just a strange, but wholesome duo.

ALEXANDER CASTILLO + KANG YEO SANG . YEOXAN

It's not uncommon for these two to get shy in the presence of one another; Xander just finds Yeosang extremely handsome and has been known to stutter on his words when he's with the boy; Yeosang also finds Xander extremely handsome, but he's much better at hiding his emotions.

Has tried convincing the stylists not to cover up his birthmark, but has yet to succeed ( it will happen, he's determined ).

Yeosang carries an extra ball of blue tac around with him, incase Xander forgets his.

Xander's not a big gamer, so Yeosang introduced him to all his favourite video games, and, in return, Xander showed Yeosang his favourite Steven Spielberg movies. Now they have frequent movie and game nights, staying up till the early hours of the morning.

Speaking of mornings, Yeosang's gotten into the habit of waking up early so he can join Alex in watching the sunrise.

An underrated pairing, but Atiny can see how much they really care about each other.

ALEXANDER CASTILLO + CHOI SAN . SANDER

Xander makes San flustered without even trying. He'll legit just smile, and San will be a puddle on the floor.

Xander admires San's energy and passion; just looking at the man dancing makes him tired ( in a good way ).

San loves listening to Alex talk about his ideas for upcoming music videos, chipping in with his own ideas every now and then.

Like celebrating their birthdays together, seeing as there's only eight days between them. They buy a little cake to share, and blow out the candles together.

San bought Xander plushies of his ducks ( Huey, Dewey, and Louie ) predebut, and Xander cried; San legit didn't know what to do, so he just awkwardly rubbed his back ( they're not this awkward now, don't worry ).

If either one of them is ever feeling down, they know they can go to the other for cheering up; Call each other their "happy pill".

ALEXANDER CASTILLO + SONG MIN GI . ALGI

Besties. Literal besties.

Xander thinks Mingi is the cutest, softest man in the world, and Mingi loves Xander's hugs.

They can often be found cuddling up together on the sofa.

Xander carries spare heat and ice packs around for Mingi's back, incase it ever starts playing up.

Mingi's no.1 fan. Xander is constantly hyping Mingi up; Whether that be during a performance, during practice, or something outside of work, Xander is right next to him showering him in compliments and words of encouragement.

Roomies. Will stay up late just chatting about anything and everything, that is until one of the other members politely tells them to shut up.

Stan AlGi for clear skin.

ALEXANDER CASTILLO + JUNG WOO YOUNG . WOOJI

Wooyoung clings to Xander like his life depends on it, and Xander wouldn't have it any other way.

He may look like he's annoyed by it, but deep deep down he secretly loves Wooyoung's clinginess.

Much like San, Wooyoung loves listening to Xander's ideas about future music videos, more so the mini set models he makes. Will sit there for hours on end watching him cut and glue pieces together; gets so excited when Alex lets him help, feeling so proud at the finished model.

Has Xander's mum's mobile number, for some reason. Says it's in case of an emergency, but really its cause Dottie knows that Woo will keep her updated on her son. Sends her weekly Alex pics, and reassures her he's eating properly and taking good care of himself.

Will tag along when Xander visits Nico at JYP, partly to see Changbin, but mainly because he knows Xander will buy him food afterwards.

Xander appreciates Wooyoung greatly, even if he does scream in his ear from time to time.

ALEXANDER CASTILLO + CHOI JONG HO . JONGHOON

Alexander is low-key terrified of the apple-destroying maknae that is Choi Jong Ho; the power that man holds is frightening ( says the guy who plays with fire for fun ).

So if Wooyoung has Xander's mum's number, then Jongho has his dad's. When Jorge and Jongho met for the first time, it was like they'd known each other for years. Both took on the classic dad stance ( you know the one ) and Dottie had to snap a photo.

Not the closest pairing in Ateez, I will say, but they have a lot of respect for each other, that's for sure.

Xander admitted, during a vlive, that Jongho's vocals tend to make him well up, which is why he's often looking in the opposite direction during performances so as not to get too tearful. That man's lungs are no joke.

If they ever have to pick someone to room with, and Mingi's not available, then Jongho's usually his first port of call.

As I said before, not the closest duo, but if anyone disrespects Jongho, Xander will smack a bitch ( and vice versa ).
