Pretentious People

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/Ku48Eht by Writiny “You can slap me all you want, Yeosang, you can hate me too,” he said quietly, his voice stripped of its usual teasing edge, “But don’t pretend like I don’t know you better than anyone else ever will.” Or Yeosang and Hongjoong’s relationship is a fragile web of resentment and desire, built on years of pretending they don’t care. Their shared past is riddled with jealousy and longing, neither willing to admit the truth of their feelings. But as Yeosang has a possible engagement looming, their pretense may finally unravel for good.

yeehaw!ateez - Chapter 1

OMG ITS FINALLY STARTING YEAHHHHHHH

i hope yall enjoy this as much as i do! thank you for all of your nice comments!!! :D let’s get this show on the road!!!

CHAPTER ONE - The Arrival

You’d been waiting forever.

As the stablehand personally assigned to the legendary equestrian team ATEEZ, you were expected to be punctual and efficient, which meant being the first person they see when arriving at your father’s stable complex.

Any minute now, you thought, for the ninth time.

Where you stood, you could see sunlight cast rays down over the rafters of the stable, turning dust particles to glitter. The nickering of awakening horses filled the stable’s ambiance, and a hen clucked idly out in the yard. It was peaceful, and the morning sun on your cheeks was making you regret leaving your bed.

Thankfully, the crackling of gravel under tires shook you from your morning daze. Two large trucks, both hauling impressive steel trailers, came toiling up the stable’s driveway.

Finally, ATEEZ was here.

You waved to signal the drivers where to park, walking over as the engines rumbled to a stop. There was a faint sound of hooves on metal, and a stray whinny or two pierced the air. It must have been a long ride for them. You wanted to see them, but there were more pressing matters. The first driver was already climbing out of his pickup, and you raised your hand to shake his.

“Hello, I’m y/n l/n. I’ll be your main stablehand during your stay here at Royals’ Elite Equestrian Center,” you introduced yourself with a smile. Admittedly, you’d spent more than a couple minutes rehearsing that line.

The man who’d driven smiled back at you, his eyes crinkling under his coffee-brown fringe. You tried not to mentally question the mullet.

“Oh, thank you,” he replied. “My name is Kim Hongjoong, but you can call me Hongjoong. We’re ready to unload if you are.” He gestured to the heavy steel trailers.

Kim Hongjoong? THE Kim Hongjoong? You felt a little bit of your soul leave your body.

“Of course. Nice to meet you, Hongjoong.” You smiled, pointing back at the barn. “The stalls are ready as well. Eight horses, right?”

“Yep,” he affirmed.

“And a box stall for the Clydesdale?”

“Yep. You guys really followed all of our requests, huh?”

“Of course!” you said, a little too enthusiastically. “Royals’ Elite prides itself on its hospitality.”

“We’re glad to be working with you,” Hongjoong said genuinely. He tapped on the window of the pickup, signaling that the rest of the riders could exit. Soon, the trucks were empty of passengers. The trailers’ steel doors were lowered, and the unloading process began.

“Seonghwa, take Dauntless first,” you heard Hongjoong say.

Park Seonghwa, triple gold dressage champion, the fangirl inside you sang. You tried to hide your starstruck-ness as a taller man with styled blond hair entered the first trailer. You heard the shuffling of footsteps and the click of a lead getting clipped to a halter. Not moments later, a large black stallion came stepping into the sunlight, head raised high. His coat shone like jet, and you couldn’t help but let a small ‘wow’ leave your mouth.

“Pretty, isn’t he?” a new voice piped up right next to you. You bit back a cry of surprise and turned to look at the speaker. “Hwanggeum’s prettier, in my opinion.”

If you hadn’t recognized his face by now, you definitely recognized the name of Jung Wooyoung’s prized Lusitano. He smiled brightly at you. “I’m Jung Wooyoung. You’re y/n?”

“That’s me,” you replied quickly, after getting over your inherent shock.

“Nice to meet you,” he said with a grin, before entering the trailer. Moments later, out stepped Hwanggeum, led by Wooyoung. The stallion’s name was no mistake–the buckskin really did gleam like gold, and from the high-stepping strides, he knew how stunning he was. Wooyoung gave you one last smile before walking after Dauntless and Seonghwa into the stable.

Next, a tall boy with black hair went inside, and you heard heavy hoofsteps echo from inside. From the sound, you knew this had to be Jeong Yunho’s retired Clydesdale. She was the largest by far, you noticed, when she walked down the trailer’s ramp at Yunho’s side. Yunho gave you a friendly greeting, but didn’t say much more than a ‘hello.’

“The box stall is at the end of the barn,” you offered helpfully as they passed. He waved at you, grateful.

“Thank you!”

Only after they had passed, did you notice that Yunho wasn’t carrying any sort of lead.

The last horse to exit the first trailer was unmistakable: Song Mingi’s Knabstrupper showjumper, Domino. Domino’s spotted coat only accentuated his strong legs and neck, which was arched in a stretch as he followed Mingi. You watched in awe as Domino kicked up his heels as he felt the gravel under his hooves, to which Mingi chuckled and walked Domino in a few small circles before entering the barn.

It was now time to unload the second trailer. The final four horses remained, and were getting impatient.

“We’d better go get them,” Hongjoong said at your side. “They won’t wait for long. I need to speak to the stable manager, would you please bring Gale to the stable for me?”

“Absolutely,” you said, completely calmly, definitely not losing your mind on the inside.

“He’s the last one,” Hongjoong said. “Thank you!” With that, he turned and walked towards the community building.

Steeling your nerves, you followed the four other ATEEZ riders around to the back of the second trailer. One of them, with red and brown hair–Choi San, your annoying fangirl mind chanted–reached up and lowered the ramp, going inside. San’s beautiful Haflinger gelding stepped out moments later, letting out a joyful whinny at seeing the sunlight. You tried and failed to hide your smile, which San returned with a sweet grin of his own.

“You like her?” he asked, to which you dumbfoundedly replied,

“Uh, yes!”

He laughed. “Me too!”

Suddenly, the shrill nicker of an Arabian rang out through the air as a shorter brown-haired rider walked in, a staple trait of Kang Yeosang’s award-winning mare. Sunny herself came trotting out of the trailer, leading Yeosang more than he was leading her. You laughed a little to yourself as he trotted her in a quick circle, similar to what Mingi had to do. She didn’t calm much, and you barely had time to tell Yeosang where to go by the time Sunny trotted into the stable, tail raised high.

Now it’s just you and Jongho left.

“Watch out,” he said to you as he walked inside the trailer. “Fuego doesn’t travel well.”

You nodded, worried about what the iconic brindle mustang might do.

“Ah, damn it!”

Not seconds later, Jongho’s voice griped from the trailer, before Fuego suddenly came galloping out, a lead rope dangling freely from her halter. She let out a bellowing neigh as she went cantering into the front yards, her head held high and ears pinned back. “Quick! Catch her before she makes even more of a mess!” he demanded, hurriedly jumping out of the trailer’s side door.

Your foggy, starstruck mind cleared instantly at his words, jumping into the situation at hand.

“Okay!”

The disgruntled mare was making a beeline for the road from whence they came, prompting you into a full sprint to catch up. She wasn’t travelling all that quickly, but she definitely wasn’t paying attention to where she was going, and would wind up in the main road within minutes.

“Fuego!” you shouted, an attempt at catching the mare’s attention. Her ear flicked back, indicating that she had heard you, but veered to the left, away from you. At least she’s not headed for the road anymore, you thought. You ran to the front gates and quickly shut them as Fuego left you in the dust, hopefully keeping her inside the compound.

Jongho, who was adjacent to Fuego, raised his fingers to his mouth and blew a sharp, high-pitched whistle. Fuego stopped in her tracks, skidding through the dirt like she’d learned to do in the arena. Her head swiveled to stare Jongho in the eyes, who was jogging in her direction.

He was barely a few meters away before she suddenly whirled on her heels and took off back the way she came, letting out a shrill whinny.

“Great, now she thinks this is a game!” Jongho groaned, breaking back into a sprint.

You laughed, although quickly shut up when you noticed Fuego barreling in your direction.

Suddenly, you had an idea.

“Fuego! Here, girl!”

You reached into your vest pocket and pulled out an apple you had saved to eat as a snack, waving the fruit through the air like a flag. It shone like a ruby in the morning light, and as if on cue, Fuego immediately became nothing more than a young thief eyeing jewelry on the street. Her big, brown eyes locked on target, and she slowed to a brisk trot, her hooves sending up clouds of dust. Moments later, you were face-to-face with Fuego herself.

She pressed her nose into your chest as you hid the apple behind your back, momentarily distracting her as you took a fierce hold on the mare’s (now dusty) lead rope.

“Good girl,” you soothed, letting her have the treat as soon as you got a grip. She munched happily, as if she’d been rewarded.

“Ugh, she’s going to think running away will get her treats now,” Jongho complained as he jogged over, slowing down to take Fuego’s lead from you. You were surprised to see that he wasn’t out of breath at all, and there was no malice in his voice. He gave you a grateful smile. “Thanks anyway. You’re, uh, y/n, right?”

“That’s me,” you said. “You’re Choi Jongho?”

“Sure am. Gale’s still in the trailer, by the way. I’ll take Fuego to her stall for you,” he said with a smile, giving the mare a pat or two. She snorted softly, closely watching your exchange with Jongho.

“Oh, okay,” you said. “I’ll get Gale.”

“Cool.” His grin was friendly, knowing. “You’ll like him.”

You laughed, unsure of what else to say. He smiled once more and turned to lead Fuego back to the stable, who clearly still had a little energy left. You let out a big sigh, relieved, and walked to retrieve Hongjoong’s horse from the trailer.

heyyyy here’s the first chapter. it seems a little boring now that i read it but i’m not changing that now lol. lemme know what yall think in the comments 💓💖💞💝💞

[thewildkikibird]

horse headcanons for yeehaw!ateez for... reasons

that list of reasons being OH MY GOD COWBOY COMEBACK, i love horses, i love rdr2, and ateez on horseback would look hot as hell

also this is kind of an au where you’re a stablehand at the stable where ATEEZ keeps their horses lol

Hongjoong

name: Gale

sex: gelding

dapple gray, with white socks and a white blaze

has a beautiful gray mane and tail that you love to braid

Gale has the most amazing temperament, a calm and brave soul

you’ve never seen a horse that had such a strong bond with his rider

Hongjoong is Not Afraid to show how much he loves Gale + you see him in the stables all the time

they are the Power Team

Seonghwa

name: Dauntless

sex: stallion

only the best for Seonghwa: a beautiful purebred Friesian

Friesians are known for their elegant and intelligent disposition, as well as their beauty, a perfect match for our prince Seonghwa

Dauntless has a little bit of an attitude

while he has never bitten at Seonghwa, he doesn’t let anyone else touch him

except you, maybe.

Yunho

name: Charity

sex: mare

bay w/ white feathering and a blaze

a massive, friendly Clydesdale. rumor has it, she may have ties to the legendary Budwiser Clydesdale bloodline

if you thought Yunho was tall already, just wait till you see him riding Charity

has to duck when riding through the barn doors

you have to use a stepstool when grooming her

Charity is just as outgoing as Yunho is, and are the ultimate adventuring pair

Yeosang

(sorry i couldn’t find a good conformation picture D,:

name: Sunny

sex: mare

paint/arabian mix

bright palomino paint coloring that, to your dismay, picks up dirt incredibly quickly

the most exuberant and energetic Arabian you’ve ever seen

will absolutely steal hats if they’re not secured to your head

the exact opposite of Yeosang

how do they even work together????

yeosang is always breathing hard when he comes back from riding

San

name: Mountain (San named him after himself)

sex: gelding

Haflinger, might have some Paso Fino in his ancestry

Mountain and Shiber(the Shiba Inu that stays at the barn where you work) have the most adorable relationship you’ve ever seen

whereever San goes, Mountain and Shiber always follow happily

Mountain always knows when San is coming before you do, and makes sure to Let The Entire World Know

San is super intuitive with Mountain and they get along both in and out of the saddle

honestly they’re so cute you just can’t

Mingi

name: Domino

sex: gelding

Knabstrupper breed, originally bred in Germany

Yunho once tried to count Domino’s spots and fell asleep after two hundred

Domino is shy on his own, but grows confidence when around Mingi

loves Mingi SO MUCH

is Mingi’s personal bodyguard(horseguard?)

you’ve seen Domino literally follow Mingi around the yard while he works, completely free of restraint, staying right next to the man like a bodyguard

you can’t help but just let him. it’s so sweet

“y/n, please put Domino away”

you totally didn’t let him out on purpose

Wooyoung

name: Hwanggeum

sex: stallion

purebred Lusitano, Spanish bloodline too

probably the most expensive horse in the barn

Wooyoung knows it and flaunts it, too

Hwanggeum spends more time in the arena w/ Wooyoung than in the barn, so you don’t see him very often

when you do, though, Hwanggeum is the most high maintenance horse you’ve ever seen

don’t you dare feed him 1 minute past regular feeding time :((((

honestly you just put up with him because Wooyoung loves him like his own son

Jongho

name: Fuego

sex: mare

brindle is a very odd color for a mustang, but Jongho doesn’t care

Fuego is the most stubborn and hardy of all ATEEZ’s horses

will not put up with any crap

has been known to snap at other horses who get too close, namely Dauntless (to Seonghwa’s dismay)

you were kind of scared to touch her at first, but she seems to love you????

she’s always waiting for you at her stall door in the morning. it can’t just be because you feed her, right?

Jongho is a little jealous of how much Fuego loves you tbh

[tohokuu]

Your Hard Hours are so addictive'!!!

Who from Ateez would prefer to sleep with a virgin/inexperienced person rather than someone experienced??

Love your work so much!!

making me feel bad bc i am so bad at answering them- but THANK YOU

seonghwa

fully believe this man can get it. but he's extremely shy and he needs a little push before he can do anything so I think he would want someone that's a little experienced so they can push him to do his best in bed :((

hongjoong

he's confident. he's a confident young man and he knows what he wants. i fully believe that he has a secret twitter account and he has definitely seen the porn side of twitter. i don't think there is anyone out there who has twitter and doesn't know or has seen twitter porn. he's a horny freaky fuck and he wants to get it down with ANYONE

yunho

corruption kink runs high. he'd love cute innocent girls that cry over his cock bc it's too big. he'll just rub circles onto their hips while they cry and try to take him in even tho he's just too big :(( would love a shy baby who has little to no experience

yeosang

i think he might be a bit similar to seonghwa where he needs someone to push him, but I also feel like he'd get a bit intimidated by someone who's too experienced where he feels like he may not be doing enough. wants something with a little bit of experience that knows how to guide him but not enough to get annoyed with his lack of experience

san

collects experience in bed like xp points in minecraft. bitch knows what he wants and he doesn't care if you're experienced or not. if you're not, he'll make you into the best slut he can. train you until you can take his throat, help you ride him until you're equestrian (is that how you use that word ?) if you're experienced, know that he's not gonna take any mercy on you. will beat that pussy up until you're a crying and shaking mess

mingi

he's got experience. he knows what to do... he's the writer of those damn ateez songs. you guys have heard twilight, desire and deja vu, right ?? he wants someone who's experienced. i don't think mingi is patient enough or wants to do the work, so he'd want someone experienced who knows what he wants already so he can sit back and relax and be the pillow prince that he is

wooyoung

ughdjnd woo def wants someone experienced but I don't see him as a relationship kinda guy... the ateez members probably have secret girlfriends but I don't think wooyoung does.. he just seems like the type to bring someone to a hotel room from a club he would go to. get himself and the other off and go. def enjoys blow jobs and would probably get annoyed if the other person is doing it wrong or is wasting his time with random cheap acts. wants someone with experience

jongho

he doesn't mind. i don't think he's had all that much experience either. he's a little shy and probably doesn't divulge into that kind of stuff in general. but if it ever came down to it, he wants someone with SOME kind of experience. would probably get bored with someone with 0 experience and would get lost and turned off. if the other person has any idea what they're doing, he'd like that very much since it makes it more enjoyable for him

Pairing: ATEEZ Jung Woo-Young & Reader

Warnings: Cursing & It’s Horrendously Long

Inspiration: My Friend & I Being Crackheads

Type: Fluff

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

“Ay man, how’s it going?” Woo-Young exclaimed while wrapping his arm around his friend’s shoulder -- San. “Oh, the ol’mighty Jung Woo-Young, the Dancing Champion,” he laughed as the younger smirked. “Are you ready for the Hípica*?” Woo-Young questioned while leaning onto his left hip.

“Ideay, el mae está bien preparado*,” San chuckled while looking at Woo-Young’s attire. The young one had a cotona*, ripped blue jeans with a leather belt, cowboy boots, and finally, a white panamanian hat* -- to stand out from the crowd. “Of course! You gotta be prepared for those events.. Plus, you gotta attract the ladies, man!” he laughed as San grinned and shook his head.

“Do you think there’ll be pretty ladies?” Woo-Young questioned as San shrugged, “Every Hípica is basically the same each year,” he trailed off while brushing his horse’s coat. “Well, up to a point that’s true, but I’m sure that this year’s Hípica will be great,” the younger comforted.

By ten in the morning, Woo-Young and San were at the Hípica, getting prepared for the races and championships. The Dancing Champion petted his horse, an onyx black stallion who adopted the name of ‘Sombra*’.

“Woo-Young-Ah! ¡Los otros ya están aquí*!” San called as the Champion turned around and saw the other ATEEZ members, Seong-Hwa already on his snow white stallion ‘Maltese’, Yeo-Sang on his pinto black and white stallion ‘Gallopinto*’, and finally -- San on his dark brown mare, ‘Gitana*’.

Sombra, Maltese, Gallopinto, and Gitana were the four horses that would compete in the Hípica as the other members were there for support or to help out in their family businesses. For some context, Hípicas are basically small equestrian festivals where people around the country would meet up in one city and showcase their horses’ skills.

The first few races went by, and with Maltese’s agility skills, ATEEZ were able to win against the others. Gallopinto was a master at jumping over fences while Gitana was fast and resistant, being able to dash long distances without getting exhausted.

Now, while the three other members were resting, it was now Dancing Champion Woo-Young’s turn. He clicked his tongue, guiding Sombra as the speakers started playing some tunes, making Sombra immediately react and start dancing (aka trotting in synchronization and order).

The crowd cheered loudly as only Sombra’s moves were truly aweing -- overshadowing the other horses that were partaking in the same competition. And, as the song was ending, Woo-Young got off his horse and danced with the music, moving his hips and gracefully yet sharply executing other moves.

As children ran by to go and play, the ATEEZ boys were eating under the outdoor tent, taking a break while drinking some Cacao* and Chicha*. "Ahh.. Now we have the rest of the day to have fun," Woo-Young sighed out in relief as the heat was starting to get a bit intrusive. After all, it was around one or two in the afternoon. "Indeed, but I think I may be helping my family during the evening since, you know, more people come in order to eat," Hong-Joong chuckled.

The boys then continued on speaking while Woo-Young was distracted by something. You. You were wearing a red güipil* that revealed your shoulders, ripped jeans, and also cowboy shoes. Your hair was styled into a waterfall braid together with some sacuanjoche flowers* that were embedded into the braid.

One of the flowers then fell down, and unknowingly, you walked away into a crowd. Woo-Young placed down his cups and ran towards the dirt street, reaching down to pick up the lone flower. He then looked at the crowd to see if he could find you again..

“Mae, you’ve been holding onto that flower for ages now,” Yeo-Sang stated as Woo-Young twirled the flower, “Of course, because I am searching for the owner of it,” he replied while looking lovestruck.

It was now around five in the evening, the sun setting, coloring the sky with hues of orange, purples, pinks, reds, and blues. Woo-Young then saw you again, helping your family sell the Fritangas* that you guys would make.

The speakers then started playing a cumbión*, making people leave their seats and get into the center of the streets to start dancing. This made Woo-Young have an idea. A perfect one. He took this as an opportunity to stride his way towards the small restaurant.

“Buenas*,” he called as you looked at him with doe eyes, “Buenas, como le puedo servir*?” you asked as he then pulled out the flower. “Is this yours?” he asked as your eyes widened. “Ah!.. Thank you so much for finding it,” you smiled, reaching out to hold it.

He then did a soft, graceful turn, beginning his dance slowly, catching you off guard. “Come! It’s time to celebrate! Don’t you want your flower back?” he asked while his hand was out for you to hold. You chuckled at his smoothness, walking towards him and holding onto his hand, following him into the dancing mob.

You guys danced to the music, feeling it. And as he twirled you, he placed the flower back, snuggling it with the other sacuanjoches. As you then turned back to face him, he smiled lovingly, “Eres como una flor bella, mi amor,*” he whispered, flustering you.

“Gracias*.. I still haven’t caught your name,” you said as he chuckles, “The name’s Jung Woo-Young,” he responded as the song was coming to an end. “(Y/N). I think you should know who my brother is,” you stated as he then held onto your waist and pulled you close, as an ending pose.

You and Woo-Young were close to each other, your lips almost touching as you both could agree that you both fell in love with each other. At least, have a crush. “¡Ayyyy! ¿Qué estás fucking haciendo?*” Hong-Joong yelled as he held onto your shoulders and pulled you away from Woo-Young.

“This is my brother,” you ended as Woo-Young did a small pout. “Hyung!~” he then whined as Hong-Joong looked at him disgusted. “No! I’m not letting you date my sister,” he said as Woo-Young then smirked and winked at you.

“Ma! We have to be care-- Hey!” Hong-Joong exclaimed as Woo-Young snatched you from Hong-Joong, holding your hand tightly as you laughed and followed him. He then whistled as Sombra trotted towards you guys.

He helped you up and later followed, clicking his tongue, making the horse catch the sign and start galloping. “Jung Woo-Young!--” Hong-Joong yelled loudly as Woo-Young took you away from the Hípica.

“Sorry for my actions, mi flor.. But I now find myself incapable of living without you. You make me want to pinch myself in order to make sure that I am not dreaming.. So, mi flor. Where do you wanna head to?”..

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hey fellas, it’s time for me to give y’all a Spanish Vocabulary Glossary thing because yes, I speak fluent Spanish. 

Hípica: Equestrianism. Basically Horse Competitions And Stuff Like That. 

“Ideay, el mae esta bien preparado”:

This needs some information. “Ideay” is colloquial, it can mean: “Seriously?”, “What next?”, “Oh well,” and many others.

In this context, the translation would be: “Seriously?! This dude is well prepared��. (Mae = Dude/Bro <- Between Friends Or Relatives [If Those Relatives Accept It])

Cotona: It’s Literal Translation Is Cotton Shirt. However, It Is A Sort Of National/Typical Dressing In Some Latin American Countries. (Examples: Facebook.com)

Panamanian Hat: (According To Wikipedia, Because I Am Not Panamanian But I Had A Friend Who Lived There,) A Panama hat, also known as an Ecuadorian hat or a toquilla straw hat, is a traditional brimmed straw hat of Ecuadorian origin. (Examples & History: Ultrafino.com)

Sombra: Shadow

“¡Los otros ya están aqui!”: “The others are here!” 

Gallopinto: A Typical Food In Some Latin American Countries. As For Some Latin American Countries, It Is Basically Red Beans And White Rice Cooked Together. The Literal Translation Is Spotted Rooster. (Example & History: Wikipedia.com)

Gítana: Literal Translation Is Gypsy (To Me, The Spanish Meaning Is Better lol). 

Cacao: Delicious Drink. It Is Basically Made With White Rice, Milk, Cacao Seeds. You Can Add Spices Or Sugar To Your Taste. It’s Absolutely Amazing. (Example & History: Nicaraguanrecipes.com)

Chicha: Another Delicious Drink. It Is Basically Dried Maize/Corn Kernels. Sounds Weird, But It Is Good! (Example (You’ll Have To Scroll Down): Eater.com)

Güipil: It’s A Typical/Traditional Tunic/Garment That Is Used By Women In Latin America For Dancing Traditional Dances. It Is Also Made Of Cotton. (Example: Petersalgado.blogspot.com)

Sacuanjoche Flowers: It’s The National Flower For Nicaragua! A Beautiful One. (Examples & History: Granpacifica.com)

Fritangas: It’s A Type Of Typical Food In Nicaragua, It Contains Barbecued Beef, Pork, Tajadas (Friend Plantains), Yucca Roots, And Others. (Examples & History: Theculturetrip.com)

Cumbión: A Fuckin’ Good Shit Ass Song Bro. It Can Be A Latin American Or Caribbean Song That Fucking Slaps -- Makes You Wanna Move And Dance. 

The Song I Placed Is Titled “No Le Pegues A La Negra” Which Translates To “Don’t Hit/Beat The Black Girl”. The Song Is Basically Trying To Talk About How Natives And Africans (Specifically In The Caribbean) Felt About Colonization In The 1600s. <- I’m A Sort Of History Geek)

“Buenas”:

This One Needs Some Explanation. Some United State Students May Confuse This As “Goods” Or Like “Those Are Good (When The Context Is For Example: “Esas Son Buenas”). However, “Buenas” Can Also Work As A Greeting! “Buenas” Can Be Like “Hello” Or “Hi”. It Is Generally Used When Entering Shops Or Friends/Relatives’ Houses. 

“Buenas, como le puedo servir?”: “Hello, how can I serve you?”

“Eres como una flor bella, mi amor,”: “You are like a beautiful flower, my love,” 

“Gracias”: “Thanks” / “Thank you” (Hehehe.. Thanxx)

“¡Ayyyy! ¿Qué estás fucking haciendo?”: “Hey! What in the fuck are you doing?” 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And that’s it! Now you understand the story better lol. (Or maybe you already did)

As obvious as it is, yes, I know how to speak Spanish and I was born in a Latin American Country -- Granted, I exposed it and it’s Nicaragua. 

Anyway, I think I won’t ramble much since this is long...

But! Thanks so much for reading and the support! Have a great day/night!

[cloudrainships]

Hi I'm back! My friend was wondering if I could request a ship for her! Thank you!💞💞💞

Hiii I was wondering if I could have a mtl ship for Ateez and Oneus? I’m a Gemini and am very outgoing and energetic. My friends call me the puppy of the group because of my abundance of cuteness and playfulness. I’m always laughing and trying to make others smile. I tend to make friends easily and love everyone I become close with. I love animals especially dogs and horses. I have lots of inside jokes and tend to randomly start dancing for no reason. I do Taekwondo, dance and am an equestrian. I tend to get scared very easily but will try and laugh it off. I am learning Korean and am planning on moving to Korea for both dancing and Taekwondo. I am very gentle and wouldn’t hurt a fly but when it comes to protecting those I care about I wouldn’t hesitate.

hello! firstly, i’m really sorry for the late response >< i’ve been rly caught up with writing and stuff... and I just wanna say that i’m sorry i didn’t get to this earlier and you waited so long :( i only do written ships for specific groups and ateez and oneus are not one of them!

i only do written ships for the following groups (it’s stated in my rules)

yeehaw!ateez intros - Jongho

FINALLY WE WRAP UP THE INTROS AJDKAJSHSKSH

please enjoy yourself a lil bit of cowboy jongho ;)))

Jongho

the ONLY western rider on ATEEZ

feels kinda lonely because of that

but he also gets a corner in the tack room all to himself though, which he appreciates

“JONGHO’S STUFF, DON’T TOUCH” is plastered to everything he owns

you swear he’d stick the message on Fuego too if it weren’t morally frowned-upon

his saddles and bridles are so intricate, too... engraved with all sorts of little spirals and lines, creating beautiful designs

you wonder where he got such exquisitely designed tack

He and Fuego have a love/hate relationship

she’s stubborn, he’s determined

she’s modest, he’s a hotshot

usually practices in the evenings, when the rest of ATEEZ is done for the day

will LITERALLY. PICK UP BARRELS. AND HAUL THEM TO THE ARENA ON HIS OWN.

you’re impressed every time

can carry entire poles for showjumping on his own, too

even if he practices in the evenings, he’s always around Hongjoong, Yeosang and Mingi, helping them set up jumps

once, he saw you struggling with a haybale and literally walked over and just casually hoisted it out of your hands

“Let me help you with that.”

actually helps you out with a lot of the heavy lifting around the stable by now

will split apples to share with Fuego too :,)

and his voice is beautiful

will sometimes sing when taking small breaks with Fuego

not everyone is around to hear him, since it’s so late

it’s so angelic and forlorn, and the stable’s rafters create an amazing acoustic for his echo

you’ll stay late if you know Jongho is practicing, just to hear him sing

is sadly the least-known ATEEZ member because of his chosen discipline

reining and barrel racing aren’t exactly Classy™ disciplines

however, he’s a LEGEND in the western riding community

his barrel racing record is 15.12 seconds, which is Incredible

also a little jealous that Fuego likes you so much

neither of you know why

“why don’t you ride her, then?”

“Jongho, i don’t know how to ride.”

“oh yeah.”

there’s a lot you still don’t know about Jongho, because he keeps a lot to himself

one day, when you were leading Fuego back from the pastures, you started wondering

if Fuego could speak, what types of things would she say about Jongho?

OMG YALL WE’RE DONE WITH THE INTROS!!!! AAAAA i’m so excited. also sorry i got a little carried away w/ jongho

i don’t care if i’m the only person who cares about this au, i’m having a blast and yall can join me if you want ;))))) yeehaw

[wordswithateez]

yeehaw!ateez - Chapter 2

IM SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG BUT ITS FINALLY HERE!!!! thank u all for waiting!! :D - kiki

CHAPTER TWO - Warm Ups

The barn ambiance had gone quiet once Jongho had tugged a finicky Fuego into the stable. Heart thumping in your chest, you approached the stainless steel trailer, the sudden quiet of the yard making you feel almost uneasy. Shadows enshrouded the inside of the transport vehicle, and as you stepped inside, the small windows provided only just enough light for your eyes to readjust. You almost didn’t see the gelding at first, as his sleek dappled grey coat blended in with the metal walls of the trailer. His coat brewed like a storm—a contorting concoction of black and white over grey.

Gale, Hongjoong’s wind and sea.

Or Pegasus and Bellerophon, as even the most critical and scrutinizing of judges had nicknamed the pair.

You approached slowly, as if hurrying would cause Gale to evaporate and disappear like mist. The gelding had turned his head as far as his lead would allow him, watching you with soft sterling eyes that held an intelligence you’d never seen in any other horse before. You found yourself involuntarily greeting him as you unclipped his tie and attached another lead of your own. He snorted curiously at you, sensing your nerves.

“Hey there, Gale,” you said, finding yourself mumbling his name as you carefully guided him down the trailer’s access ramp. His ears perked up obediently at the mention of his name and raised his head to feel the sun on his coat. You led the gelding carefully; if anything happened to Gale because of you, you think you might die before Hongjoong has a chance to kill you.

Amazingly, Gale seemed miles more confident than you were. His hoofsteps were sure, and he took long strides at your side. He barely flinched as the gravel turned to concrete upon entering the large main stable, which was beginning to buzz with ATEEZ activity. You saw Wooyoung carry a black saddle into the tack room, and Mingi gently remove Domino’s halter. Farther down, Yeosang and Yunho worked together to brush Charity, who stood patiently at a pair of cross-ties. No sign of Hongjoong, but you knew his stall was already labelled.

“y/n!”

Just as you were about to unlock the stall gate, a voice rose to catch your attention. You turned to notice none other than Seonghwa, who was walking towards you with Dauntless in tow. The regal black stallion pinned his ears at you as he followed Seonghwa closer, causing Gale to tense up beside you. Seonghwa noticed and stopped at a safe distance.

“You’re y/n, right? Sorry, he doesn’t like new people very much,” he said with an apologetic smile. You nodded, understanding.

“No worries, I’ve had my fair share of troublemakers. And yes, that’s me,”  you replied with a laugh, desperately trying to ease the tension created by the two horses. Gale grew more and more guarded as the seconds ticked by under the shadow of Dauntless.

His smile didn’t change, offering you an involuntary twinge of guilt. “Of course, nice to meet you, y/n. I was going to ask you. The trails around Royal’s Elite are quite extensive, right?” He glanced towards the barn doors, then back to you. “I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of one. Dauntless here needs to cool off, and I know some work could do him some good.”

“Oh, yes, definitely,” you said, straightening. You pointed outside with your free hand, towards two cypress trees at the far end of the front yard. A dirt trail began between them, winding into the forest. “Between those trees is the longest trail we have, and it runs in a loop. There’s lots of flat area. Although there are a few cross-country jumps set up, so…”

Seonghwa’s expression changed, and he let out a chuckle. “Just because I’m a dressage rider doesn’t mean I can’t handle a couple of hurdles.”

“Right, right,” you responded awkwardly, hiding the pain with a smile. “Then I think you’ll be good to go otherwise. Are you all set?”

“Should be,” he answered, patting Dauntless’s neck. The stallion was clad in a black bridle and matching hunter saddle, and you admired his turquoise saddle pad for a moment.

“Okay, cool,” you said, trying to be casual. “The trail’s all yours.”

He gave you a dazzling smile. “Great, thank you!”

And then they were gone. You watched Dauntless follow his owner with a sassy flick of his tail, and Gale visibly relaxed once the stallion had left.

“You don’t like him?” you asked Gale as you returned to your previous task of walking Gale into his stall. Gale just snorted at you in response, tossing his head after you slid the halter off of his head. “He does seem a little hot-headed. But aren’t most Friesians like that?” The gelding stood patiently as you talked, ears pointed attentively in your direction. Suddenly, though, something behind you became much more interesting.

“Aren’t most horses like what?”

...God, you can’t get five seconds worth of peace.

You turned around in the stall to find Hongjoong leaning over the stable gate, grinning at you. At the same time, Gale let out an excited whinny and almost pushed you over as he tried to get to Hongjoong. The man laughed as he was greeted with a faceful of horse, proceeding to scratch the gelding’s ears. You smiled exasperatedly and went to meet Hongjoong at the gate. “I’m not going to make fun of you for talking to the horses, especially since Gale knows pretty much all of my secrets,” he said with a laugh.

“Ahah, yeah,” you said in reply, still embarrassed that he’d caught you making conversation with a horse.

“Everything seems to be going smoothly,” he continued, glancing down the stable corridor. “But we’ve got work to do.”

“Of course,” you said, paying attention. Not like you knew what that work was or anything. “How can I help?”

He hummed in thought, pulling in the front of his lips. “Mingi and Yeosang want to go over some jump combinations just to visit the arena. Could you help us set up?”

“Oh yeah, absolutely,” you said. “We keep the poles in the garage at the back of the arena. Do you want me to show you?” you asked, just to make sure. To your surprise, he shook his head.

“I think I’d like to saddle up too, actually. It’s been a long trip, and Gale clearly has some spring in his step.” He gestured to the gelding, who tossed his mane as if on cue.

Your heart skipped a beat. You were going to see Hongjoong on horseback so soon? “Right, sure. I’ll set them up for you then.”

Hongjoong smiled. “Yunho will probably be out soon to help. Thanks, y/n.”

“The pleasure’s all mine.”

Leaving Gale in Hongjoong’s hands, you left the stable and made your way to the outdoor arena. It wasn’t a long walk at all, as one side of the stable overlooked the arena entirely. Behind the arena, the storage shed’s doors slid open with a worn creak.

Pulling the overhead lamp’s drawstring, the shed was soon washed in a warm glow. Jump poles were lined up against the wall, their colors foreign against the old brown planks, with the stands stacked beside them. You took a breath and lifted two of the stands into your arms, heaving a little with the effort, and walked back outside. To your discovery, another person was jogging in your direction.

“Heya!” he greeted you with a smile, black hair bobbing. “Hongjoong sent me to help you. I’m Yunho.”

I know who you are, you thought as you looked up at him, offering a smile of your own. “Oh, thanks! Nice to meet you; I’m y/n.”

He grinned, walking into the storage shed and coming out with two more stands like you. “Just basic warm-up stuff, right?”

“Guess so.” You shrugged. “I can’t imagine anything else after that ride.”

Yunho let out a breath. “Whew, yeah, it was long. Twelve hours.”

You nodded, opening the arena gate. The sawdust caked under your boots as you walked inside.

“Let’s just do a couple,” Yunho said, setting down his stands. “I don’t wanna be out here for that long, I’ve got sleep to catch up on.”

You laughed and set down your own. “Fine with me.”

The two of you set up around five or six jumps, most of them fairly simple. You were sweating a little by the end, but Yunho seemed as exuberant as ever. He grinned at you as the two of you left the arena, locking the gate behind you.

“I’ll tell Hongjoong and Mingi they’re ready,” Yunho said as the two of you returned to the main stable. “Yeosang is lunging Sunny, if you want to get him.”

“Sure. Are you going to jump, too?” you asked, but mentally slapped yourself in the forehead afterward. Of course Yunho wasn’t going to jump. He chuckled.

“No, I can’t. Charity’s retired.”

“Oh, yeah.” Nice going, y/n.

Leaving Yunho to talk to Hongjoong and Mingi, you swallowed and began to make your way to one of the circular corrals. Sure enough, Yeosang was inside, watching Sunny canter lightly in circles around him. Although her tail was still raised high, her head was lowered, and she chewed at the bit in her mouth, ears pointed towards her owner. A good sign.

“Hey, Yeosang?” you called, getting his attention. He’d noticed you and merely let out a deep breath, slowing Sunny to a walk. “The arena’s all ready.”

He blinked, watching you for a moment. “Oh, thank you.” His voice was soft, and Sunny snorted, turning to walk towards him. He gathered the lunge in his hands, taking hold of her rein and unclipping the lunge when she neared. The Arabian glanced up at you, her eyes bright and full of youth. You smiled- it wasn’t often you saw horses with so much spunk.

Yeosang looked a little tired as he exited the corral with Sunny. You tilted your head. “Is something wrong?”

“Sunny is a handful sometimes,” he said with a wheezy laugh. You glanced up at the palomino pinto, who nickered in response.

“I can see why,” you said, reaching up a hand to stroke her nose.

You walked with Yeosang and Sunny to the arena, where Mingi and Hongjoong were waiting on horseback. If you thought Mingi was tall on his own, he was a giant sitting astride on Domino. The Knabstrupper gelding stared intently at you as you approached, raising his head sharply when you stopped in front of them. Hongjoong glanced at Yeosang.

“Are you ready?”

You held Sunny still while Yeosang climbed into the saddle. Smiling down at you for a moment, he gathered the reins and nodded to Hongjoong. “I am now.”

With that, the trio entered the arena.

long chapter to make up for the wait!!! :D next episode is going to be fun haha. i’m spending some time with the showjumpers before the dressage drama starts up (eye emoji)

[wordswithateez]

yeehaw!ateez intros - San

[race trumpets] woah look another intro, this time with San!!! btw thank you all for the support, i’m glad i can share my weird horse self with you all akdhshskahshd

San

is the favorite of a lot of the stablehands

he’s always around, whether he’s working or not, followed by Shiber

he’s so sweet to everyone, and never asks for anything extra from the stablehands (especially you)

Mountain, Shiber and San are basically the big trio of the barn

wherever one is, the other two will follow

San does a lot of cross country, as well as a little showjumping

since Mountain isn’t exactly the biggest horse, he has to take it easy sometimes

Mountain would more than love to run for years, though

when he’s riding, you don’t normally see San in the arena. he’s often out on the cross country trails, like Yunho

you’ve always been surprised by how much of a safe rider San is

he always wears a helmet, packs first-aid in his saddlebags, and always makes Mountain wear leg wraps

you’ve always wondered why, since he seemed to be a little bit of a free spirit

then you noticed the scars on Mountain’s flanks

Hongjoong ended up telling you that Mountain was a rescue, and San had found him hidden in a back stall of a barn he was visiting, and that Mountain had a tendency to spook at stray tree branches that felt like crops

from that day on, you made sure you were stocked on first-aid, lest San or Mountain come back with an injury

while you’ve yet to see San in action out in the woods, you’ve seen videos online of San’s incredible talent

photographers would struggle to keep up with San’s precision and agility on horseback

while he wasn’t weightless like Hongjoong, San worked incredibly well with his horse

there’s so much genuine love in the way they work together, you can’t believe your eyes

some days, when you know San won’t be around, you braid Mountain’s mane and tail

San is always pleasantly surprised and it’s so cute

“Mountain! You look so pretty!”

cue you giggling like a schoolgirl in the tack room

[wordswithateez]

yeehaw!ateez intros - Yunho

end me i’m in horse hell

also hi yes i would like to thank the budweiser superbowl ads for existing and giving me the gifs i need for this intro akdlagahaksj

Yunho

literally everyone loves him

is always hanging out in the stable, playing with the horses, talking with the stablehands

doesn’t really do a lot of chores but honestly nobody really calls him out on it

has the biggest horse in the stable

Charity may be big, but her heart is bigger

all of the stablehands bring her extra treats just for existing

she’s such a sweetheart

will stand politely when asked and never wanders off

gets lonely in the pastures so she always needs to have a friend to play with

usually that friend is Yunho

you’ve caught him once or twice running around the pasture, while Charity trots happily after him

on horseback, Yunho is just the same

they have so much fun together

Yunho used to do pulling work with Charity, but a muscle injury put her out of that sort of tough work

so now, Yunho and Charity just ride for fun

they know every trail around, and have been on all of them

Yunho has invited you a few times, forgetting that you can’t actually ride

“I can teach you!”

his smile is really tempting thoushshs

most horses usually don’t get an early retirement that gives them so much love

but Yunho is really something else

you heard he used to do cross-country... but you’ve never seen him do it

maybe it’s just a rumor?

[wordswithateez]

yeehaw!ateez intros - Wooyoung

hey fellow atiny im back with more yeehaw!ateez! this time starring wooyoung. only jongho is left until i can upload the first chapter! thank you all for the support!!

Wooyoung

does only dressage, just like Seonghwa

has won more blue ribbons than you can count

recently, he’s gone quiet in the equestrian world over the loss of his last horse, which was sold overseas to a wealthy breeder

only a select few know about Wooyoung’s next showstopper, though. which is Hwanggeum

one of those select few is you

which is also one of the reasons ATEEZ is staying at your stable (because of confidentiality regarding Wooyoung’s new horse)

since Wooyoung and Hwanggeum are still new to each other, Hwanggeum is rarely on stall rest

you see them in the arena the most, far more than any other member of ATEEZ

check out that sick piaffe

Wooyoung himself is almost as annoying as Hwanggeum sometimes

also the most extra

(see horse intros: https://wordswithateez.tumblr.com/post/182002657820/that-list-of-reasons-being-oh-my-god-cowboy)

Wooyoung can, and will, mess with you all day long

will also decorate Hwanggeum’s grooming supplies with little golden rhinestones just for fun

one day, you walked in, and Hwanggeum’s stall was practically overflowing with purple and gold streamers

that was the day you learned Wooyoung knew (and celebrated) Hwanggeum’s birthday

which was honestly kind of cute

he’s also the one who looks... uh... the best while riding on horseback

you have to force yourself not to stare at his confident, yet gentle, focused smile while he guides Hwanggeum along an ambitious routine

with his wild, a-little-sweaty hair peeking out from under his helmet

and the way he straightens and tilts his shoulders back during square halts

and, well,

in conclusion, Hwanggeum isn’t the only showstopper in this team ;))))

im shdoshd

hey guys the headcanons are almost over!! i cant wait to upload the first chapter ims dkdhahshd

only jongho next! lemme know if you guys are still looking at these bc im just like. nobody asked for this au and yet here i am

[wordswithateez]

yeehaw!ateez intros - Hongjoong

hey yall im back with more yeehaw!ateez, this time it’s all about hongjoong!!

i honestly don’t know why i’m spending so much time on this akskshsjskslkl

Hongjoong

is the ATEEZ equestrian team captain

is one of the only ATEEZ members who can back a trailer, especially with live horses inside

also the most experienced with horses in general

he loves ATEEZ and his horse Gale with all his heart, and it shows

everyone always goes to him with their horse/tack concerns

“Hongjoong, where’s the fourth purple leg wrap?”

“Hongjoong, Fuego is stuck in the fence again!”

“Hongjoong, I can’t find my show bridle!”

you admire his tolerance for bullshit tbh

he’s not the talkative type at first, but warms up quickly

he’s always in the stable, feeding, sweeping, even mucking

you swear he works harder than you some days, and you practically live at the barn

on horseback, though, Hongjoong changes

Hongjoong and Gale have been nicknamed “Bellerophon and Pegasus” by the stable manager because of how fleet and graceful they are

they are one of the best hunter jumpers you’ve ever seen, and you’ve seen a LOT of hunter jumpers

Hongjoong has this grace when he rides that makes him look weightless on Gale’s back

every move he makes is with precision, guiding Gale faithfully

he’s never been one for dressage, though he can still do it

you love watching Hongjoong ride

you make sure to clean the stalls that overlook the arena when he’s riding

it’s fun until you get stepped on by an impatient horse

he also has an iconic yellow helmet

he only wore it once though, because the rest of ATEEZ told him he looked like a minion

it was put in storage for the rest of eternity

uhh hey yall if you think this is a neat idea make sure to lemme know bc im literally just doing this out of my own personal wants LOL

[wordswithateez]

yeehaw!ateez intros - Mingi

omg its the one ive been waiting for sksjskahsdj i’m yeosang biased but domino is one of my favorites hahaha

also: OKAY LEGIT THESE GIFS WERE EVEN HARDER TO FIND THAN YEOSANG’S, i’m sorry they don’t match Domino exactly :,( one of them isn’t even a gif rip

Mingi

definitely one of the more confident members of the team

he specializes in showjumping

he’s one of the more... exuberant riders

he’s loud and he’s proud, but boy does he go soft for Domino and ATEEZ

will do all of Domino’s maintenance himself, including mucking the gelding’s stall, just because he likes to feel included

you’re grateful for the extra help

Mingi will often ask you to lunge Domino before he heads out to the arena, since Domino has a lot of pent-up energy

you don’t get to work with the actual horses often, so you jump at the chance

normally, he’d do it himself, but after seeing your expression, he decided to let you have at it

competitively, he’s one of the strongest showjumpers on the team

not as fleet as Hongjoong, or as intuitive as San, but definitely twice as strong

Domino can clear jumps you’d never even thought were possible, and with a powerful grace too

clears double oxers like nothing

you’re fascinated by how strong they seem to be, not only physically, but mentally as well

they’d canter around the arena for hours if it meant they’d meet their goals

Domino himself is practically Mingi’s bodyguard

he’ll stand right behind Mingi as if watching over him

not one movement fails to catch the vigilant gelding’s eye

once, Mingi asked you to bring him water while he rode, but as you approached, Domino shied away, as though he thought you were going to attack Mingi

Domino trusts you now though

they say Domino once single-handedly chased away a pack of wolves from hurting Mingi while they were out on a late-night cross-country trail

honestly, horse goals
