ATEEZ ‘ WHO HAS THE FACE TO BECOME KING ’

y/n moments from ateez's video celebrating their 6th anniversary by visiting a fortune teller.

[ hongjoong's fortune reading ]

"there's four members who want to take your leader position."

everyone immediately started laughing

fortune teller listing them off: yunho, mingi, jongho, y/n

y/n: haha, me? *points finger at herself*

[your name is y/n so yes]

hongjoong: y/n!?

fortune teller: y/n is probably the most likely along with yunho to try and take your position. she's very strong-headed and is also able to make decision that others would struggle with.

y/n: i do?

wooyoung: you tell me what to do all the time 🤨

y/n: that's because you like being ordered around 😑

for the rest of the video, the members would jokingly call you leader y/n (or leader-noona by jongho) as way to poke fun at both you and hongjoong

[ yunho's fortune reading ]

during yunho's turn he would ask who he is and isn't compatible with

fortune teller: seonghwa and y/n

everyone is shocked to hear both you and seonghwa named

the other members joking that seonghwa was now double crowned as non-compatible with first mingi and now yunho

fortune teller: you and y/n have such strong energies that you both go almost too well together that it can also make the two of you butt heads.

y/n: yunho, you led me down a wrong path 😆

[ wooyoung's fortune reading ]

fortune teller: wooyoung is compatible with y/n

everyone busted out laughing at the fortune teller's words

you on the other hand rolled your eyes while wooyoung grinned

wooyoung: i told you we were soulmates!

y/n: whatever 🙄

fortune teller: the two of you work well together and often feed off each other. being able to go back and forth and be comfortable with one another.

seonghwa: they always manage to be the loudest in the room when left together

[hyperactive #1 and hyperactive #2]

fortune teller: i wouldn't say you two are soulmates but you do manage to always find each other even in different lives

y/n: i'm never escaping jung wooyoung. yeosang, is this what you felt when he joined kq with you?

yeosang nods, eye wide in a 'save me' type of way making you laugh

wooyoung: hush!

the camera would zoom in on you [never escaping wooyoung]

after wooyoung's reading, he stood up and took the seat next to you and to tease you further wooyoung hugged you before kissing your cheek.

y/n: ugh! 😒

wooyoung: 😁

[ y/n's fortune reading ]

when it came time to read your fortune, you were ready to hear what the man had to say to you

fortune teller: you have a strong passion for making emotional connections, but aren't always sure how to go about it. it takes time and you're often afraid of making new relationships.

[someone who is takes her time in making relationships]

yunho: i remember y/n always being shy when you first joined, it took awhile before she warmed up to me and hongjoong-hyung

fortune teller: you want strong emotional bonds with the people you see as close. your energy is also very strong, often connecting items with the people around you; imprinting memories on things and having strong attachments to material items.

wooyoung: he's talking about all your figurines!

seonghwa leans over and smacks wooyoung's arm

you couldn't help but feel shy at the fortune tellers words, knowing that you are attached to all your little trinkets in some way or another

[trinket girl is shy about her trinkets]

fortune teller: you also often second-guess your decisions...

y/n: a while ago i had wondered if being an idol was something that i was born to do. questioning if the group needed me in order to succeed

you could see the other members looking at you with soft gazes, the teasing mood going a little somber at your confession

hongjoong: that's not even something to wonder about, ateez is ateez because of all nine of us

[captain hongjoong reassures his member]

fortune teller: becoming a celebrity was something you were born to do. you were born to lead people even if not directly.

[y/n is a natural-born celebrity]

wooyoung: our supernova! 😆

y/n: who am i compatible with the most?

fortune teller: you have a strong bond with all your members, but you are the most compatible with one member specifically

jongho: leader-noona is special~

fortune teller: this member understands you on a more emotional level that the others can

mingi: i wonder who it is?

fortune teller: san – the two of you have a unique connection that allows the two of you to communicate and understand one another. san often offering a nurturing nature which helps you feel connected to him.

[the two lovebirds are made for each other]

hongjoong: who is she least compatible with?

fortune teller: she's the least compatible with one member, only because they sometimes struggle to see eye-to-eye when it comes to what they want.

wooyoung: who is it?

fortune teller: hongjoong

everyone was SHOOK because you and hongjoong have such a close relationship

fortune teller: a lot of it comes from hongjoong's struggle to communicate things and y/n's need for wanting emotional connections. you both also struggle with always being putting the other first before yourself which can cause some miscommunication between you two.

seonghwa: so they're stubborn about the other?

[the two of them have a strong bond but are stubborn]

y/n: hongjoong-oppa stresses me out sometimes

[hongjoong the stress bringer]

fortune teller: i think moving forward, you need to make sure to voice your feelings and thoughts more with your members in order to strengthen your bonds with them even more.

y/n: i will, thank you

[ ending ]

yunho: is there a king among our members?

the fortune teller goes around telling each member who they would have been in a past life

fortune teller: y/n has the face of a king. she has the ability to lead people without even trying and could easily step into a leadership role if needed.

[y/n the queen of ateez]

yunho: that's why she's good at bossing us around

y/n: someone has to do it!

OUTFIT :

inspired by ateezjuliet

note: just something quick in order to go with ateez's 6th anniversary! thought the video was fun and wanted to put you into the mix of it 😆 also, who's excited for the comeback 🤩 excited to have y/n and the blog go through their first official comeback haha! thanks for reading!

( 🍓 ) y/n things every atiny should know !

──── a list of things that every atiny ( or yn-inator ) should know about y/n or random headcanons that i think you all should know.

you're fluent in three langauges; english, japanese, and korean.

you think that if you didn't become an idol, you would have gone into game development.

after you left sm ent., you stayed at a boarding house with four other girls (mostly college age). you lived in the house up until a few months before kq fellaz was officially announced, and then you had moved into the dorm.

you were involved in several clubs during middle school and high school.

you went to an all-girls high school and was able to get in because of your high exam scores. you were also popular among your peers, often getting letters and small gifts.

you have a total of six tattoos, the most out of all the members who have some.

your parents and childhood friends use to call you a "disney princess" because of how many times you could get wild animals (mainly cats) to come to you, especially when they wouldn't go to others.

this cares into how you accidentally brought home a small fox, thinking it was just a weird cat. your parents made you take it back to where you found it.

you like to joke that the small fox returned to you in the form of wooyoung.

you are close friends with several sm artists, but especially close with nct's yuta who fans have spotted you hanging out with several times.

you also have a yuta picket that you got from an nct 127 concert and can still be seen in the background of your room during some lives.

you're a big fan of gravity falls and have even done a cover of "disco girl" a song from the show on a live (which is a parody song based off the abba song "dancing queen"). alex hirsch, the creator of gravity falls, even retweeted a clip of you singing onto his twitter account.

you've rewatched gravity falls at least 56 times. you like to watch it when on tour, but also like watching it with the members. the member that has rewatched it with you the most is mingi.

the boys often call you their "fix it girl" because you are often fixing things around the dorms.

you once did a livestream where atiny watched you replace a light fixture in the kitchen.

you have a large trinket collection of different figurine brands and you often try to buy one whenever you go to a new place.

you love video games, especially indie games or ones with cool graphics or complex stories. you often try to update atiny on what games you've been playing, having it be a mix of indie and triple a games.

in 2019, you took up the hobby of journaling/bullet journals and always have a journal in your bag with you when you travel.

you also have a digital one on your ipad that you are often seen working on in the background of logbooks.

you were the third trainee at kq, joining about a week or so after yunho did.

you have the most random livestreams out of all the members; this is often because of the time you go live or what you are doing during your lives.

when hongjoong got his laptop stolen, you and jongho helped re-record all his vocal guides.

as a result of all the livestreams, kq once banned you from going live for about two month; however, that didn't last as you still went live behind their backs.

you revealed in an interview that the member you are the closest too is wooyoung.

you used to share a room with wooyoung and yeosang at ateez's first dorm, then you and mingi shared a room, and now you have your own room but share a dorm with yunho and yeosang.

during fireworks era, you wore several bob cut wigs and had basically the whole atiny fandom believing you actually cut your hair.

you have went viral several times because of your stage looks, often starting popular trends for other idols. you'll usually be cited wearing something or having a specific hair color and then a few months later, other idols will do the same thing.

you also tend to go viral for your airport fashion as well, many atiny and netizens in general always waiting to see what you are going to wear.

you were the voice actress for final fantasy vii remake character eileen for both the japanese and english releases of the game. you also came back for the 2024 release of rebirth. eileen is a made up character and not actually in the game.

you made your acting debut in 2021 with the thriller drama "gothel" that aired on netflix. the drama did exceptional well and your acting in it was so well received that atiny are hoping for you to act again.

there has been rumors recently going around that you are rumored to star in a sci-fi, psychological horror movie, but nothing has been confirmed.

in 2024, you were invited to new york fashion week by both sandy liang and selkie along with paris fashion week by vivienne westwood.

───── 🪼🫧 𓂃 ⋆* LIFE IS STRANGE

a look at what y/n’s life was like before she debuted in ateez.

born in misty falls, south carolina, y/n would live a rather normal life in the united states. that is until her and her parents move to osaka, japan when she's five for her mother's job. with her family moving across the world, y/n would continue her life and education in japan from about 2005-2012.

while living in japan, y/n would continue to live a rather normal life as she learned to speak a new language along with adapting to a new culture and school. y/n was quickly able to make friends at school through elementary and middle school. while living in japan during this time, y/n would become heavily interested in both j-pop and k-pop, especially the later as it was quickly rising in popularity. y/n would later cite that she was obsessed with hikaru utada, abba, boa, and girl's generation.

former classmates of the idol cited that y/n was often a "model student" and always excelled in her classes. in middle school, she also joined student council and helped planned several school events. during school festivals, her and her friends would often perform at the festival doing covers of popular j-pop and k-pop songs. one video of y/n and her friends performing was posted online around 2019 and has since become a viral clip within the atiny community.

it wouldn't be until 2012 when y/n's life would begin to change as she was approached by an sm entertainment scout during her school's festival which her and her friends performed an original song along with several covers of different j-pop girl groups. the scout had told y/n that she should consider auditioning for the company because she "had a lot of talent" that sm entertainment could help her become an idol like the ones she did covers of.

at first her parents were strongly against letting y/n audition having assumed that this was a scam and would end badly. however, y/n managed to convince them to at least let her go to a public sm audition that was happening in tokyo. her parents agreed and y/n traveled with her close friend, who was going for support, to tokyo.

y/n would pass her audition and as a result, y/n would travel to south korea so she can begin her training as an idol. while at sm, y/n would work on learning the language and be enrolled into an international school which is where she would continue her studies.

in 2013, y/n would be revealed to the public as a member of sm rookies and the korean public would immediately favor her as compared to other sm rookies her age. netizens would praise her singing and dancing that was being showcased through sm rookie station videos.

in 2015, y/n along with several other sm rookies would appear on the show mickey mouse club [1] which a lot of fans think is where y/n would fall even more into public favor as it was able to showcase her talents more. many netizens would comment on how funny and likable she was and how she had a good relationship with her fellow trainees. sm would see the public favoritism towards her and even allow her to have a solo stage on the show with her singing "can't say i'm in love" from disney's hercules.

however, before the end of 2015, y/n would leave the company after sm would reveal to have no concrete plans of debut for her. this is also noted by many netizens online as they have also began to voice how upset they are towards sm for not debuting y/n yet, especially since she was one of their most popular trainees. after the debut of red velvet and the plan for nct to debut – which both featured former sm rookies. the news of y/n leaving sm would shock online forums. the news would also lead to a lot of companies contacting y/n and her parents wanting the trainee to join their companies with promises of "debuting by the end of the year" or "debuting by next year". y/n; however, would decide to take a break from training in order to focus on her studies.

a few months into 2016; however, y/n would be continuing her studies, hanging out with friends, while also still searching for a new company to join. y/n would be talking to some classmates who went to a dance academy and talked about one of the other dancers there and how he had recently joined a small company. seeing videos of this boy dancing, y/n would become interested in him before she eventually found and did research on the company her classmate told her about. this would lead y/n to personally emailing the company's ceo telling him that she was interested in joining their company. the company was called kq entertainment.

when the kq's ceo responded, y/n would travel to the company with her housemate / guardian, jiwon, in order to speak with the ceo and other higher-ups at kq.

when she meets the ceo, he would tell her that there is only two other trainees currently with her being the third. at first, y/n was worried that maybe she made a mistake with choosing kq, but she would eventually meet the other two trainees – recognize one of them from her classmate's dance video – and would soon get to know the two and become close friends with them. (spoiler: the two trainees are hongjoong and yunho)

eventually, other trainees would join the company and y/n was once again starting to wonder if she would get to debut as only male trainees were joining. upon voicing her concern to fellow trainee hongjoong, he would promise that they would debut together no matter what. this would lead to him convincing kq to let y/n official join their pre-debut team, kq fellaz. once news of y/n preparing to debut in a male-dominated group circulated, many netizens shared mixed reactions of both surprise and concern for the female trainee. some netizens even assumed that kq was using y/n's popularity as clout for their group and would begin protest to try and get her removed from the group. however, y/n would show netizens and fans that kq was not using her for clout and that she had a genuine friendship with the other members of kq fellaz.

eventually on october 24, 2018, y/n would debut as a member of ateez.

footnotes to help understand the timeline of things :

[1] originally mickey mouse clubhouse aired from july to december in 2015; however, in this au, the show aired from february to july instead.

a look at pre-debut y/n's life through pictures.

note that these pictures are just place-holder photos. y/n doesn't have a face claim, this is just to give a visual of the kind of photos she took before she debuted in ateez.

[ynnova]

had yn ever encountered any sasaeng(s) / bad encounter with a atiny during a fan event ?

ooooooo yeah, you have def had a few share of sasaeng / bad atiny encounters over the last six years.

KHJCULT AKA JANET

one really infamous one is the sasaeng fansite account khjcult aka janet. she's probably one of the most known sasaengs in the atiny fandom especially when it comes to you. originally, she started out as a hongjoong fansite and has been following you all since pre-debut. her being a hongjoong fansite lasted all but for ateez's debut as she quickly started posting photos of you instead for "say my name" and "hala hala" era. it wasn't until around late 2019 to early 2020 when she started to become obsessive fan and following you and ateez to all your schedules, even when that weren't announced to fans.

you of course obviously started to recognize her the more she started showing up and it would freak you out; however, you didn't fully know how to deal with it. especially with ateez still being a new group and everything – you didn't want to cause problems. eventually, the guys would also pick up on how tense you would get when you would spot janet at events, and try their best to keep you away from her. you honestly felt sick every time you seen janet show up to a schedule.

hongjoong would even ask "fans" a few times to please respect your boundaries, but of course janet didn't take the hint (more like ignored it). unfortunately, you and janet did have an encounter around 2022 where she got into a fansign and had grabbed your wrist when you wouldn't answer her specific questions (personally ones that she doesn't need to know about) and it was after this that kq actually blacklisted her from events.

following this, however, janet started rumors about you. feeling "betrayed" by her favorite idol, she began spreading rumors that you were sleeping with several different members. the most notable one was yunho and pictures were also posted of you and yunho when you were in japan together at a restaurant. however, atiny didn't really believe her in this and you and kq even filed a lawsuit for defamation as she was trying to ruin your career and image. you won 💕

OTHER BAD ENCOUNTERS

some other bad encounters was when an atiny literally threw your drink in your face at the fansign following the announcement of you and san dating. claiming you "stole san from her" and the fan was quickly escorted out of the building.

another sasaeng even tried to drag you off stage at a festival, thankfully, wooyoung noticed just as the guy was trying to drag you off stage and had grabbed ahold of you and didn't let go even when your managers and event staff had come and almost tackled to the guy. fans noted how they had never seen wooyoung as mad before as in that moment.

an incident similar to the 2022 janet encounter, this sasaeng had been popping up at a lot of different events to where the guys were beginning to recognize him even. he showed up to a fansign and kind of brushed the guys off when they were signing his album – his questions mainly revolving around you and it was starting to lowkey piss some of them off with how invasive they were. like he even tried to ask yeosang what positions you slept in?? true weirdo behavior.

and it only got worse when he got to you, asking questions that again, weren't his business. he was also very adamant on trying to take you out after the fansign, but you kept turning him down. eventually, he grabbed your wrist really tightly and repeatedly asked you to go out with him and that you "owed" him because of how much support he gave you. thankfully, when hongjoong (who was right next to you) noticed what was happening, he ripped you away from the guy who was the taken away. you were so shaken up about it that you had to take a small break before finishing the fansign.

the guys have definitely gotten more protective over you since these incidents have happened and you've become a lot more cautious at events because of them.

those are just like the most notable moments. but you def have had several solo stans coming after you whenever you do anything that doesn't involve the guys. like when you made your acting debut, went to different fashion shows for fashion week, or voiced for a character in ffvii remake... your antis were throwing so much dirt at you. and then when it was announced for the world ep. fin that you would have a solo song... it was so bad that you cried about it for several nights until hongjoong finally went live and told people that if you can't support one member then you can't support them all. that shut most of them up. mainly the solo stans are just jealous of you because you obviously get to be with their fav and they don't.

a look into the different hair styles you've had throughout the years! starting from treasure ep. 1 and going all the way till birthday. you have become well - known for your hair over the years along with your hime style cut that has become a staple to your idol image.

FEVER PART 2 ─── CUNTY BOB!YN! hello, she was iconic, she was the moment. atiny loved how much you pulled this off. however, the fandom was devastated when they found out that the cunty bob was in fact a wig. the reason why you didn't cut it was because you were filming for your drama ' gothel ' at the time and needed to keep it long and dark brown. you also couldn't fully commit to cutting it that short yet. underneath the wig, it was longer and a dark brown as seen during some stages and videos. you also had this hair for INTO THE A TO Z japanese repackage album.

FEVER PART 3 ─── you went through a sort of vintage aesthetic during fever part 3 with your personal style and so your stylists and kq kind of went along with that when they dyed your hair blonde and for the most part styled it in curls giving it a sort of retro feel to it.

PARADIGM japanese mini album.

THE WORLD EP.2 ─── the return of blonde!yn that a lot of yn-inators had been waiting for. however, unlike the first time you had blonde hair, this blonde was definitely a more colder type of blonde with also hints of silver in it as well. along with dying it, you also cut it a little shorter than what you have done in the past. you would however wear hair extensions for some stages and during one of music shows, the boys would tease you about hair loss because your extensions had come loose during rehearsal.

✶ GOLDEN HOUR ERA ───

GOLDEN HOUR PART 1 ─── debuting this hair originally at coachella, this was a fan favorite as many claimed the highlights were a fun addition to the hair. originally, you didn't want to dye your hair just black and had to beg for them to add some more " fun " and the decision they came up with was to add some highlights. you didn't complain, you thought the colors were cute and you loved how they stood out against your coachella outfits. a lot of atiny compared you to a monster high doll because of your hair and some of your stage outfits.

BIRTHDAY ─── when you dyed your hair red during the will to power tour, many atiny rejoiced because this was the closest they were getting to having bob!yn back, but without the bob cut. you admitted to have worn a wig during the photoshoots for ' birthday ' along with the mv shoot, but then you liked the red color so much you asked kq if you could actually dye it and they let you.

…what’s the hwayn summer fight 👀

iceberg layer three ─ hwayn summer fight

so before i talk about it, i want to say that i was inspired by the markhyuck summer fight (iykyk lol) and i'm still gonna keep it but mix in some behind the scenes drama to it as well 🤭

this happened in 2019 during the promotions for wave, and a fan happened to record you and seonghwa talking to each other rather "heated" as many atiny have described. since you all were on stage and far away from the fan, no one has any idea what you guys are saying to each other. however, many assumed that you guys were fighting which is how the "hwayn summer fight" came to be born.

a lot of people began theorizing what the two of you were fighting about, over analyzing past and future performances and videos with the two of you, taking things way out of context. you know... the usual fan stuff. eventually, the "hwayn summer fight" became a meme within the fandom. none of you guys were actually aware that this was a thing until like... july 2024 when you and seonghwa were doing a live together and someone had brought it up.

you remember reading a comment that had said like "will you both finally reveal what the 'hwayn summer fight of 2019' is about?" and both of you guys were confused until you searched it up and scrolled through all the memes before you the video. "ah!" you said after watching, "we weren't fighting, i was just telling oppa that he had to get in position for wave and not say my name because he thought we were performing that." you explained and seonghwa agreed. "it was also hard to hear each other which is why we were talking to each other with such... sharp movements," seonghwa would. atiny were shocked when they finally learned the truth; however, a lot of fans still use it as a meme as its one they just can't seem to let go of.

in reality, while you were actually telling seonghwa his position was wrong; there was also some growing tension between the two of you. this is mainly about unspoken feelings and some miscommunication from the both of you. however, you and seonghwa avoiding each other for about a two weeks (it def felt longer if you asked any of the members) definitely didn't help. the tension was really thick in the dorms during that time. eventually, hongjoong made the two of you sit down and talk everything out before it slowly went back to normal.

Ooo whats the ynjoong leak from the iceberg post???

iceberg layer five ─ leaked audio of ynjoong

so a lot of atiny are still like... confused on this, and this just ended up being false and someone just trying to gain attention by using ateez's name. BUT– in like 2021, a person who claimed to be staff member from a photoshoot ateez did posted a video (it was a black screen but it was mainly the audio that they were posting) on an instagram account claiming that "ateez's hongjoong and y/n are fair more closer than just simply bandmates" and atiny didn't know what was going on.

the audio was very muffled, but you could hear the people whispering to each other. the staff member put subtitles on the video and some of the things that were said where:

hongjoong (?) : what are you doing baby y/n (?) : [photographer] wanted me to try this dress instead hongjoong (?) : do you need help taking it off? y/n (?) : [laughs] maybe~ staff member writes on the video that the two then kissed. y/n (?) : oh watch my lipstick, i don't want it to smudge hongjoong (?) : [unintelligible] should we try it out later?

the staff member also writes that hongjoong and y/n were "insanely close" and had "no problem doing intimate poses together." they also wrote that all the members in general were very close with each other, but the leader and female member were the most obvious. fans attempted to get them to prove that the people talking were hongjoong and you, but nothing was every posted.

kq released a statement, saying that this person claiming to be a "staff member" was in fact lying and were spreading misinformation about their artists. and about a week later, the instagram account was deleted and atiny who were there when this happened, have kind of just let it die out since it was proven to be false.

‘99 PRANK?1!11?

iceberg layer six ─ '99 liner prank gone wrong

this happened in 2019, between say my name era and wave era, but the '99 liner boys had thought it would be funny to prank you by taking all your mini figurine collections plus all your other trinkets you've collected over the years and hide them from you. and this included ALL of them, even the ones your parents or friends from japan or even ones fans had given you – they hid all of them, and then said they had thrown them away when you got back to the dorm and seen your part of the room empty. you were devastated when they told you that and began tearing the dorm apart to look for them all. at first the guys thought you looked silly when looking for them, but then you started to cry. it was full on sobbing at one point from how you couldn't find your stuff.

it was actually mingi who broke and told you that they didn't throw them away and that they were just pranking you. he would go pull out the bags that all your little trinkets and figurines, by that time the other guys had also felt terrible for making you so upset, not realizing you had attachments to some of the trinkets. they all apologized, but you were still upset that you didn't talk to them for about two weeks. hongjoong and seonghwa had a looooong talk with the boys, hongjoong even talking to them individual. wooyoung and yeosang probably felt the worse during the two weeks as at the time you all shared a room together. eventually, you started talking to them again after two weeks with san even going up to you and begging for you to forgive him.

the guys literally felt so guilty afterwards that no one brings it even after years. the five boys would like to forget they did that to you, and you would also like to forget it happened. of course now, five years later and you all are doing great. this "prank" has also never been brought up in front of fans, so this whole situation is unknown to them and you nine would like to keep it that way.

What do u mean by deleted 🪐 feet post on y/n’s iceberg ??

iceberg layer five ─ deleted feet 🪐 post

haha so this was back when ateez were using the universe app to communicate with fans! in 2020, you kind of did a few... unhinged things when it came to posts and lives (this is were a lot of iconic live moments came from with you).

and so one of the posts you had made on universe was you talking about how you and yunho had both painted your toe nails, and so you posted a picture of your feet to show them off, but then you kind of spiraled for a moment before deleting the pictures.

y/n: atiny~ i painted my toe nails! yunho did as well 😆 y/n: omg their so cute you have to see! y/n: [image attached] y/n: wait a minute... y/n: don't sell my feet pic pls~ they aren't that pretty y/n: unless... you know what get your bag atiny 💸 y/n: oppa told me i have to delete the picture 😔 no bag for atiny, sorry y/n: huh? how do i delete messages? 😳 y/n: why can't i delete them! oh noooooooo 😭 y/n: oh wait, yunho figured it out!

it was later revealed that you and yunho had been drinking and so you were drunk the whole time while sending those messages. its on the lower level of the iceberg because it all happened so fast that only a few people managed to screenshot the whole thing before you eventually deleted all the messages a few hours later.

Sanyn kiss 🤭🤭👀👀👀

iceberg layer one ─ will to power sanyn kiss

so this is a new addition to the iceberg, BUT during one of the american shows on the will to power: ttl tour, several atiny had managed to video you and san dancing during "dancing like butterfly wings" and right after you both got done dancing, san pulled you to him and kissed you leaving you completely embarrassed and flustered. the videos also show how san runs away from you and left you literally too stunned to do anything. the videos went kind of viral within the fandom as this was the first time atiny had actually seen you and san kiss.

unknown to fans, after the show you had asked san why he kissed you so suddenly and he simply said "you were too pretty not to kiss" and you're not sure what made you more flustered; the kiss in front of thousands of atiny or his reason for kissing you 🤭🤭🤭
