#the gay cousin going to check on the tryhard cousin

[j-a-nuary]

It's so funny to me that J. Balvin was one of the stops for Ateez at Coachella because they ONLY thing I know about that man is that whenever he had a show at the arena ALL of my Dominican and Puerto Rican coworkers would walk around for the week leading up to the show mocking him. So, to me, it's the equivalent of the cool freshman chilling with, like, the designated annoying kid from the senior class.
