MATURE UNDER CUT MDNI

The van shook as another vehicle passed, making San groan as you fell down onto him.

"I'm sorry, Baby," you cooed softly, kissing the bruise on his collarbone that you had unintentionally fallen onto. The soaked rag that you cleaned him with was handed back to you from its fallen place on the shag carpet by Wooyoung with a soft laugh.

"You baby him too much, he's a big boy," he claps his hand onto his shoulder, making him groan again- glaring at the younger man, "right, Champ?"

"I'll beat your ass, Woo."

"Oh, I bet you will, you beat up that scrawny little guy too!" He cackles, clapping and leaning away as San swipes at him tiredly.

"He was faster than I expected!"

"You two knock it off," you sigh exasperatedly as you wipe the grime from his swollen pec, rolling your eyes at your boyfriends bickering. Being stuck in such a small space had taken a toll on the three of yours relationship- especially the two men. They were at each other throats more often than not-even it was playfully. "I'll blow our cover just to tell Hongjoong."

"You wouldn't..." Wooyoung eyes you suspiciously as you smirk. "You wouldn't!"

"I will if you two don't give me a second of peace." You cock your brow at him, tossing the rag into the pile that is your dirty laundry, silently cursing yourself for choosing to hide out with them instead of with Yunho and Jongho in their shop. They even had a cool talking bird.

You place a gentle kiss to Sans eye, a healing bruise almost faded under your lips. "Stop getting hit in the face, yeah?"

"Yeah, I'll politely tell my opponents that my girlfriend likes her boys pretty~" he rolls his eyes and whines as your body heat leaves his sore body.

"So what if I do, pretty boys happen to be my type!" You shrug and crawl off of the spent man, over to the other side and into Wooyoungs lap.

He smirks at his boyfriend cockily as you rest your head on his shoulder, "that's why she's cuddling me right n-ow!" His smirk turns to a pout as you flick his chest.

"Can you two manage a peace treaty while I get some shut eye? It's four hours drive to the next town and it's my turn to drive in the morning."

"Of course, Darling." They chime together, silently scowling at one another but keeping quiet as you close your eyes.

--

     "Wakey, wakey," you shake the buff man softly, safely parked in the back alley of the abandoned building. Wooyoung stood just outside of the open van doors, abs on display as he changed into a better looking shirt.

      "Yah, wake up!"

   You glare at him as he startles San awake, who holds you close protectively in his delirium, still scared of the run in you had experienced with HalaTeez months ago. No matter how much he swears to the lot of you that he doesn't feel guilty, the way his eyes sadden when he focuses on the scar over your left brow for too long gives it away. Hala-San, as you call him to real-Sans dismay, had tricked you all too well and after that... you couldn't look at the real, loving, caring San for weeks. You had to split off with Mingi and frequented a bar, drinking away any memory of Hala-Sans torment until Hongjoong found you and picked up the pieces when the bottle ran empty.

     "You dick," San rasps as he rubs your sides, his gentle touch a contrast to the way he gives his cackling boyfriend the stink eye.

    "Rise and shine, Sannie~" he teases, buttoning up his shirt and soothing his long hair down, "time to get your ass whopped again."

     "Oh, like you'd do any better! You'd be demolished!"

     You let out a sigh and slide out of the van, soothing your dress- which in reality is Jongho's shirt with a belt around your waist. "I'll be signing in." You speak shortly before wondering off, leaving them fighting more than ever over how they upset you.

    San insists it's all Wooyoungs fault for being such a whiny shit.

    Wooyoung is adamant that San is at fault for hogging all of your attention.

     They go back and forth for a while until a Strickland patrol vechile speeds by, spooking the both of them into the building.

     Wooyoung immediately wraps his arms around your waist as they find you bent over signing Sans pseudonym, DJANGO, into the fighting brackets. San is busy eyeing everyone around you, both in suspicion of Halateez and Strickland and simply to scope out his potential competition.

     "Entry fee is three k," the woman on the other side of the pop-up table looks as if she's ready to kick your trio out in a single breath when you don't provide the money, eyeing up Sans messy tank top and your days old makeup with distain.

    "That's it?" You pout, tutting your tongue as you turn away from the rude woman, sighing dramatically as you dig into Wooyoungs pockets, grabbing hold of multiple tightly rolled wads of money.

    Both of them smirk at your antics, so clearly eager to prove this stranger wrong about her preconceived notions about you and your lovers as you count the wads, dropping a few down before skipping past her with a wave.

      The crowded arena does nothing for Sans anxiety, his eyes scanning at a million miles an hour as he keeps a possessive hand on the small of your back. Wooyoung has similar feelings as he drapes his arm over your shoulders in a way that clearly shouts, 'don't touch' to anyone who looks your way. You feel much safer on the other hand, both of your boyfriends touching you at once for the first time in what feels like ages, both ready to toss themselves infront of danger if it presents itself.

You all squeeze your way to the front, right up to the edge of the ring, where a fight is already taking place, one of the men nearly teasing the other with the way he bounces around on his tip-toes, not letting the other get a single touch in.

"She said not many fighters showed up," you practically have to yell for the men to hear you, "Strickland cracking down again!" You explain loudly, rubbing Sans lower back in an attempt to comfort his nerves as he stretches his wrists. Wooyoung has split off to make bets with other players, making sure to stick out like a sore thumb with his flashy shirt. "Might have to find a new income soon if they don't back off!"

He sighs, rolling his head back and stretching his neck out, letting you admire the freckles on his skin that he knows you love.

As the quick moving fighter finally wears out his opponent, he gets sloppy, and he starts getting hits in. You slide behind San and hide your face in his back, wrapping your arms around his waist and stroking his stomach softly. "I hate that you have to do this!"

He holds his hands over your own and rubs his thumbs over your skin, watching the man who will clearly be his opponent wailing on the other man.

"Got nine grand riding on you tonight, Babe," Wooyoung slides back into the conversation, cupping the back of Sans neck.

Although they had their on and off moments, he would always be in tune to his emotions and try to calm him. And trying to keep the peace was even more worth it when you were around. Usually, they had Yeosang as a voice of reason but he was off with Seonghwa doing God-knows what in preparation for your next mission.

Being apart was straining and stressful for every last one of you. But groups larger than three were banned by Hongjoong after four of you had caught Halateez's attention a few months back. He didn't want to risk it again and he certainly didn't want to risk a group of nine most wanted outlaws being together. The combined reward for your captures was the largest amount of money you had ever read. You weren't sure how to even pronounce it.

It was almost an entire year of being in hiding.

You didn't know how much more you could take.

    "- DJANGO!!" The name catches your attention over the blaring speaker. How was he up so early? You peek around San and see the fast man catching his breath in the opposite corner. Blood being wiped up and a limp body being carried out.

     "We can always find a new way to get money," you scream to San as he rolls out his stiff shoulders, whining as Wooyoung pulls you away gently. "Seriously, Sannie!"

    "He'll be okay, Darling," Wooyoungs chaste kiss to your head does nothing to calm your raging nerves as San bends down and slides into the ring. You pull away in a hurry and hop up on the ledge, grabbing his top over the ropes.

      "Forgot something?" You lean your torso over and immediately take San into a heated kiss, his calloused hands cupping your face firmly and pulling you close. People all around whistle and call loudly, a blush creeping up Wooyoung neck as he watches your lips meld together.

It been almost a year on the run. Almost five months since any of the three of you have touched one another in an intimate, primal way.

He doesn't know how much longer he can take it. When you crawled into his lap earlier he nearly took you right there.

You always do something after a needy kiss that makes every single one of them feral.

You lick up Sans lips to his cheekbone and moan.

   People start nearly howling, and his opponent looks antsy.

"Fuck him up, Baby," you cup his chin in your hand as you block out the world around you for a moment and take one last good look at him before you know you'll go away during his fights. You can't bring yourself to watch no matter how long he's been fighting. But that doesn't mean you won't hype him up while you can.

      You slap his shoulder softly, making sure to make it look harder than it was in reality before giving his fist a gentle kiss.

     "Fuck him up," you repeated before hopping down.

--

The van door opening makes your head snap, setting away the headphones that play Yeosangs violin melody.

"Hey, how'd ev-"

San jumps on you before you can finish greeting them properly, kissing you deeply and feeling you up like it's the first time he's ever touched you. The clotted blood on his lip doesn't discourage either of you, the pain only stirs him on as Wooyoung climbs in and slams the doors shut behind him.

The dull thud of the duffel bag he drops makes you look over, San letting you breath and nipping at your neck and jaw instead. "Holy shit, Baby, you won?!"

"Fuck yeah, I did, Beautiful," he moans breathlessly, holding himself up above you to speak with a sultry purr, "let me spoil you." He looks over to Wooyoung lustfully. "Both. Let me spoil you both."

Wooyoung smiles at him. Genuinely. For the first time in weeks.

    If there's one thing that makes him weak it's being spoiled by his lovers. So when San lifts you up and settles you in his lap and climbs into the drivers seat, he doesn't complain: he simply dives into your lips like a man starved.

     And he is, lips suctioned onto yours so deeply and passionately that neither of you notice as the van lurches to life and begins speeding away. You fall to the floor ontop of him and hold him tightly. Like he's an illusion that will disappear like smoke if you let go.

     He body feels so right on yours. Clinged together on the shag floor. Melting together. The outside world and all of its problems fading away as his hands wander your body.

       How you've managed to keep your hands off one another for this long is a world's greatest mystery.

       "Fuck," he moans as you lap at his lips, his hands sliding up the edge of your dress and cupping the round of your ass. "Fuck, Princess, please," he whines.

       You can hear the smirk in the way San chuckles from the front seat, but it doesn't stop him from speeding up. He loves how whiney Wooyoung gets just as much as you do.

     You clumsily undo his bottoms and pull them down just enough to press your heat to his growing bulge. The thin layers of cloth separating you doesn't stop the feral groan that he lets out, holding your hips with a bruising force as he grinds up into you. If anything, the soft fabric pressing into your clit with each of his uncoordinated thrusts makes it feel more euphoric.

     "Oh, God~"

    The soft moans you let out have Wooyoung rock hard and San palming himself. "Ffffuck, Baby," you groan, hugging his neck tightly as his hips buck below you.

      Everyone got the 'Babyyy' treatment when they were good or needed a pick me up. The way it rolled off of your tongue was like a drug to them. Even more so when it's so deep and passionate. Even more so when their cock is pressing against you.

     Sans eager left turn has the both of you rolling on the floor, laughing as he apologizes loudly from the driver seat. "Sorry, continue!"

     "You heard the man," you laugh from below Wooyoung, "continue."

      And he does, burying his face in your neck and biting and licking and sucking as he rubs his bulge against you like it's the last human touch he'll ever experience. "M'cum," your moan has him rolling into you with a new purpose in life, nearly growling as he holds himself back from painting his underwear white, "shit, Youngie!" You wrap your legs around his waist tightly as you release, shivering and shaking with your jaw slack.

      He isn't far behind by even a second, his gut clenching as he turns his bottoms sticky with his own pleasure, panting into your ear as he continues to roll into you, drawing out your euphoria and making you mewl out, clawing at his scalp.

      In your bliss, you fail to notice that Sans parked outside of a double story motel and ran out with a wad of cash, clearly in a hurry.

Yours hands are wrapped in each others hair, breathing deeply with your foreheads pressed together, almost as it trying to meld your souls together with passion.

    The doors behind the both of you open and flood you in the neon light of the motel signs, and you peek around Wooyoungs frame as he falls over you protectively from what he thinks is prying eyes. "Sannie~" you call, making Wooyoung relax ontop of you.

       "You alive, Foxy?" San teases as he climbs in and crawls to you both.

     "Mhm," he moans into your jaw, "very alive." He gasps as San pulls him away from you by his neck, taking him in a feverish kiss as you watch on in awe. You can tell San his slipping his tongue into Wooyoungs mouth by the way he holds his jaw open, the way Wooyoung grinds his bulge back into you.

     "Youngie, Baby," you whine as he rolls his self into your swollen clit, but it only makes him go faster, his hands finding purchase on Sans waist. "Ah s-" You writhe below him, stopped when one of Sans hands comes and holds you in place by pressing on your stomach: all the while he never opens his eyes or pulls away from your boyfriend. "Fuck, please don't tease!"

He chuckles into his lips, gently stroking his neck. "C'mon, I got us a room for a few days."

Wooyoung begrudgingly slides out of the van, gathering your few bags and bouncing in anticipation as he fixes his pants to the best of his ability. San scoops you up to his chest and you cling to him like a koala bear, kissing all over his face as he carries you up the stairs and down the balcony hall.

Wooyoung drops the bags at the entrance of the room and immediately goes to investigate the single bedded room and bathroom before urging San in, latching the door shut behind him.

You're dropped to the bed and bounce with a soft laugh, opening your legs wide to fit Sans large frame as he slots himself between them. Wooyoung slides next to you and is immediately latched onto your neck as he unbuttons your dress.

"Ah fuck," you mewl out, cradling his head close as your head spins, San slipping off your panties and shimmying down. He holds your thighs apart as he licks a slow, deep stripe up your soaking heat, reveling in the way you moan for him. He wastes no time diving in and eating you out like it's his last meal. His tongue flicking and swiping against every inch it can reach. His nose pressed against your clit as his head bobs.

You're lost in the pleasure between your legs so much so that you don't notice that you and Wooyoung are both naked until he climbs onto your stomach, his hot member gliding between your breasts. Despite how long it's been, your body has its muscle memory from how often you two would do this.

You cup your breasts and push them together, encasing his length in the soft flesh as he grips the headboard roughly, the tip of his cock leaking on the base of your collar bones.

It's hard to appreciate just how beautiful he is while San is ravaging your cunt with his tongue, but you manage. Looking up with blown irises, he's so pretty. His long hair softly framing his face, bouncing with each of his rough, slow thrusts against your supple skin. His swollen lips parted with moans. Toned abs expanding and constricting as he heaves.

"Foxy," you whisper out, catching his eyes with a deep blush on both of your cheeks, "so pretty, Baby."

He curses loudly and reaches one hand down, cradling your face so gently in comparison to how he fucks your tits. "My woman."

The words make your eyes roll back, a wave of your arousal coating Sans tongue as you cum, gripping your breasts tightly and whimpering out as the sensations continue well past your peak.

      Wooyoung wills himself to hold back from cumming until he's told, and San holds himself back as he laps up your juices-grinding his hardness onto the bed slowly. Both of your moans are a magic melody to him, and he can't help but crave more. He pulls away and joins Wooyoung over top of you, wrapping his arms around the younger man and spooking him. He slides his hands up his naked torso teasingly slow, grinding on his backside.

"Shit, Babe," he groans, tossing his head back on his shoulder and simultaneously trying to bury his cock in your warm skin and grind back on San's bulge. "Fuck, I ne-"

"Cum, Youngie." The command from the both of you at the same time has him painting your collarbones and neck in a millisecond flat, jaw slack as San continues to stroke him even as his hips stop.

"Fuck, fuck, please, oh my God," he stirs back to life from his void of pleasure as you bend your neck and lick his sensitive tip. He tries to back away only to bump right into Sans girth on his bare backside. "Oh God~"

        "Need a breather, Sexy?" San coos as he slowly moves Wooyoung off of you, already knowing that he can't cum back to back. He needs at least five minutes at that's all San needs to get you ready for what's about to come.

        Wooyoung comes crawling back into you, lapping up his own seed with a quiet moan as San slides down your body and hooks your legs over his hips. "Ready, Darling?"

      "Yes, holy fuck am I ready, please give it to me," you babble on, only silenced as he inches into your sopping core. He's by far the girthiest man you've even been with. And the stretch always feels so delicious.

       Wooyoung takes advantage as your jaw falls open, leaning over you to drip all of his release into your mouth. The moans and whimpers of pleasure are unstoppable as you swallow all of it down eagerly, hands wrapped up in his hair and pulling him impossibly close. His body follows his head, almost snuggling you as he presses his body flush to your side, one leg hooked over your hips as he grinds his hardening member into your hip.

It's all so warm and welcoming, a familiar and comfortable feeling washing over you along with the overstimulation of your third orgasm building up as San thrusts into you with a steady slow pace. "Fuck," you moan into Wooyoung, "so big," you whimper as your cunt uncontrollably clenches around him. He swallows up all of your noises as he moves his lips against yours zealously, and sneaky hand rubbing the column of your breasts and up to your neck, simply resting: bouncing with each of Sans increasingly rough thrusts that bounce your body.

  "Take me so well," Sans praise has you leaking onto the blanket, panting like crazy and slapping at Wooyoungs shoulders as he bites at your lips hungrily, "pretty Angel, made just for us, hm?"

       "Mmhmph-" Your affirmative moan turns into a yelp as Wooyoung tightens his hand over your neck.

     Damn them. When they decided to be on the same team they were almost scary at how well the schemed without even speaking a single word. San held your hips in place and drilled into you. Wooyoung assaulting your ear with kisses and bites, squeezing your neck in time with Sans hips.

      "Pretty Angel looks like she wants your cum," Wooyoung teases as you swirl your hips in Sans hold, holding you down securely with his hand pressing your neck into the mattress as he looks down at where you're connected.

      "Mmh, she does," San groans loudly, hips snapping into you needily, "looks like a bitch in heat." His words make both of you moan out, your eyes rolling into your skull for a moment before he buries himself to the hilt and stops.

    "No, no, no, please! I wasn't going to cum, pleaseee, Sannie Baby~!" If there's one thing that gets San off, it's when his lover begs him for permission. When their with someone else- cum as much as you like. But with him? Grovel at his feet and beg him for a release only he can give you. "Fuuuck, shit, please, I need you, fuck me!"

Wooyoung watches you with gazed over eyes, holding you still as you attempt to writhe and get more stimulation. "She wants it's so bad, Babe~" He smirks as San, a look that makes his cock twitch inside of you, You muster up your best begging pout and let go of him, reaching for San's hands that are gripping your hips with a bruising force as he holds himself back until he's satisfied with your begging.

"I want you to make me cum, please, Django?"

    All of the breath is fucked out of your lungs as he pounds into you. Fast and hard and nearly animalistic in the way he buries himself in your sopping heat with a string of curses, his fingers interlacing with yours in a soft intimacy that makes your head fuzzy. You can barely moan, how good it is. But he knows. Wooyoung knows.

    As you finally come to your senses and scream out with your release, the whole district must know how well Django is fucking you.

He stops himself with a deep groan as your walls flutter and clench around him, squeezing your hands to ground your soul to your body as Wooyoung dips his head and laps at your hardened nipples. You squeeze his hands tightly, arched off of the bed in pure ecstasy as he fills you with his warm cum.

San slips his arms under your arched back and holds you close to his chest as he flips the two of you, a squeal of pleasure leaving you as he hits an all new angle. He holds you securely as he looks at Wooyoung, almost silently communicating.

He slips behind you, the feeling of his leaking tip prodding at your stretched hole has you gripping Sans shoulders tightly, rolling your hips back into him. "Oh, fuck, yes yes yes yes y-" Sans lips catch yours and silence you as he ravenously slips his tongue into your mouth and licks at your tongue, feeding on all of your moans as Wooyoung slides in with him.

"So good, my woman," his mind is gone, unaware of how your walls grow slicker with his praise as he slowly sheaths himself into you fully.

He nowhere near as thick as San, but dear lord that man has length to make up for it. The both of them together is making your stomach feel hot, the hair on the back of your neck standing up.

San pulls away panting, his lips swollen and wet with your saliva. "Beautiful Angel," you official feel lightheaded as he cradles your face oh so gently as he moves his hips. Wooyoung follows suit, holding your back and fucking into you ruthlessly, rubbing against Sans girth inside of you like it's his favorite thing to do in the universe and it's about to be ripped away.

All you can do is moan and gasp with them, a melody that your neighbors must be cursing as the headboard bangs into the thin walls.

Your chest is pressed into Sans roughly, faces barely an inch away as you all move together. His hands cupping your cheeks and keeping you upright as your body threatens to give out. "Sannie, please, n'cum," he can just make out your slurs over the panting and slapping of skin in the humid room, the smell of sex already soaking into the air.

His brain is nearly gone as he feels Wooyoungs length twitch against him along with your cunt squeezing mercilessly, only nodding at the both of you for permission as he himself lets his soul float away in a wave of pleasure, squeezing you to himself possessively as he cums inside of you. Wooyoung isn't a moment behind, the second he feels Sans warmth flood you, his is joining. And the feeling of both of them soaking your womb makes you lose yourself, dunked in pleasure.

Wooyoung falls ontop of you, sandwiching you between their body warmth. San reaches around and hugs his arms around both of you, heavy breaths lulling you to sleep.

"Holy shit." Is all that can be said.

--

    The next morning you decide to take advantage of the running water that San must have paid extra for, washing away the grime that stuck to you despite how many bird baths Wooyoung have you on the side of the road.

   San, despite you and Wooyoungs best begging, went off on his own to meet with Hongjoong after he got a call on the prepaid flip phone in the middle of the night.

    Wooyoung noticed you eyeing the bag of dirty laundry when you woke up and immediately offered to go wash them and grab some food for the both of you.

      You're so wrapped up in the welcoming feeling of the warm water pelting your body that you fail to notice the door opening, letting the steam rise to the ceiling of the motel room. You sung one of Jongho's songs sung softly, the sound echoing on the fiberglass and acrylic shower wall.

"Darling?"

You grab the knife you left on the edge and swipe the shower curtain back. "Jesus!" Both of you yell. Wooyoungs hands fly up in a defense position as you aim the knife at him for a moment.

You flip it in your hand and hand it over to him by the handle, visibly relaxing as you see it's only your sneaky boyfriend. "Perv~" You tease before sliding the curtain shut dramatically. You can hear him shuffling around, and the sound of his zipper confirms your suspicions.

     He steps over the tub edge and joins you, hugging you close from behind and kissing your neck gently. "Did you-"

     "Mhm, foods on the bed, Princess." You laugh softly before turning in his arms and hugging his neck loosely.

     "You're the best, you know?"

     "I sure do~"

     He reaches over you and grabs the travel size bottle of shampoo, cursing them silently because he will most definitely have to go get some more from the main desk before your stay is over. He lathers it up in his hands a bit before massaging your hair tenderly. "You miss them, don't you?"

     His question catches you off guard for a moment, wondering just what he means until you realize that he must have heard you singing the song Jongho wrote all those years ago on The Illusion.

     Those times were so much simpler. A group of pirates and the open sea. Beautiful blue water and all the time together that you could ever ask for.

    "Don't you?" The way your eyes glaze over is enough to tell him. You miss them just as much as he does. You wish this would end just as much as he does.

     "It hurts like hell."

     "I know, Baby."

     "I want to kill them."

     Hala-Teez, the Strickland officials? All of them. "Me too, Baby."

     He leans your head back carefully and rinses away the coconut scented soap from your hair gently. "I love you." You speak. Just  above a whisper. But he catches it even over the raining water.

  

     "I love you, Darling. This will all be over soon." He doesn't promise because he knows he can't. He doesn't know how long this situation will last. You could be on the run from Strickland and looking over your shoulders for Hala-Teez until your last breath.

      "Joong will figure something out." You don't promise. Because Hongjoong hasn't. He can't. He won't promise something that he doesn't know he cant follow through with. He could be trying to come up with a plan for decades.

      You stand in silence for a moment as you wash his hair gently before he speaks again, "don't cry, Love."

     "What?"

    When you look up, he's blurry. When did you start crying? How did this happen?

   He closes his eyes and hugs you close with his head under the stream of steaming water.

     After a small cry-session in the shower together, you and Wooyoung curled up in the bed and ate your takeout, watching one of the decade old dvd's on the laptop that Yeosang managed to get to you guys a few weeks ago.

The ban from being together for safety didn't stop small run ins with a familiar looking delivery man. Be it disguised as a food delivery man, a mailman, an exterminator- Yeosang always found a way to travel around the city and deliver small gifts from one member to another along with messages from Hongjoong when the phones were down.

A wave of laughter is cut off by a knock on the door. His hand immediately grabs a small hand gun on the nightstand as he stands, your own going to your knife that's sandwiched between the mattress and bed box as you slam the laptop closed.

      "Delivery!" The voice makes you relax.

    "Fucker," you huff as you jump over the bed and beat Wooyoung to the door and smile at the helmeted man. You can't see him, but you know who it is. "Goody~" You peek out into the halls and spot a few suspicious looking people, so you pretend to slip him some money before taking the box and take one last look as he walks away.

     "Open it," he urges impatiently, nearly knocking you over to get to the pizza box as you set it on the small table.

Ontop of your favorite pizza. A small piece of paper. Sans handwriting.

ATEEZ Universe Main Thread ᖭི༏ᖫྀ

To make a little summary I will use just specific points on Music Videos and Dairy Books.

Because the Fever Series Diary is much more important and unique, I will open a sequence just for it.

World A, World Z are the main dimensions in the ATEEZ Universe. They are placed in the same world which we call Earth.

There is just a glass like wall between these dimensions, but if you don't have an item called a "Cromer" - Key between worlds- you will need a dimension gate.

Black Fedora's who have a cromer of their own dimension, can change dimension as they pleased.

And they want to change the place called Strictland which is located in World Z.

Strictland is just the same world we see in Dystopian movies and books; you can't have emotions, which caused the war in the past.

The government of Strictland gain a lot more power with a new mechanics which is called "Android Guardians, on their emotionless world project.

Black Fedoras were like a lighthouse in this dystopia, shining a light as they danced and sang, trying to wake everyone from the haze of the gas spreading through the air.

But Android Guardians kept following them, even Fedoras could escape with cromer. But One day one of a Black Fedora member had to switch to another dimension, because they, People called Black Pirates needed more help so resist Android Guardians in Strictland.

⊹ ࣪ ﹏𓊝﹏��﹏⊹ ࣪ ˖Adventure starts ⋆⁺₊⋆ One day a child who used to live in the "Emotionless World" came across with a child and with the fever inside that ignited more and more, they had more children just like them.

These children are the ATEEZ we call Weak Ateez for 2 series.

And Black Fedora needs their power to change this world- Strictland. To do this, the one Hongjoong looking like Black Fedora members starts to appear in Hongjoong's dreams which will finalize with the "Cromer" in Hongjoong's hands.

And essentially Fever Album's starts here.

Essentially: ATEEZ wanders around, loses the cromer, meets with Grims Siblings, learns about Left Eye, and when they are about to get the cromer Yeosang turns it and breaks it.

Now Ateez has to go back to the world they most wanted to escape to save Yeosang. Where we can see the same traces about the situation in songs like, Pirate King- Deja Vu- Thanxx.

Officially there are just 2 cromers on Earth but many hints are there which leads us to believe that Yeosang is the World Z's Cromer.

Other than that Yeosang is the child from Strictland. When ATEEZ went back to Strictand to save him, he led them the way with his drone.

When ATEEZ goes back to the Strictland, they show why we call them "Weak" Ateez. Because in the rush and fear they faced back then caused something, something which will cause a lot more chaos in future, Their alter egos.

Weak ATEEZ with the vengeance they wanted, they set fire to the huge tree which will again cause problems but it's okay. So what happened after this "First Rebellion?"

ATEEZ stuck there cause Hongjoong need the cromer they used to teleport to Strictland to change a mistake in FUTURE. Note it somewhere, This Hongjoong has blue hair.

So what happened to ATEEZ members stuck in here, in their bunker?

Actually ATEEZ needs their light, their utopia to keep moving in Strictland-in dark world- and be able to turn into an Utopia, they need their in the first step.

They actually have a special communication method, like dreaming the same dream where messages come.

Ateez, who dreams in a dream to reach her, needed one answer from her, a sign that she is here. But this sign and comforting came from someone we actually shouldn't wait for. Their inner voice, whispers, alter egos: Halateez.

There is a really little line where we need to draw to distinguish Halateez and Black Fedoras. Basically in the beginning of the story they both wear chain necklaces till Halateez's greed shows up, they change to Pearl necklaces.

And also most of the time Black Fedoras use their masks to hide their identities while escaping in the Strictland. But Halateez doesn't have this kind of worries because only ATEEZ can see them. They are just shadows in their hearts.

It's shocking that we can also hear them with electronic voices, Halateez's whispers.

And that's exactly what happens in the "After Inception" part. Good Lil Boy-Eternal Sunshine and Rocky. Because they adapt themselves to their existence a lot, losing consciousness wasn't even a coincidence.

Living in a world that has colors and happiness, what would you want more? While passing time and seasons. Is it to late or not too late to be saved?

When Ateez regretted everything that happened back then, their sunbae's help reached them with a literal plane.

Because they faced the true enemy of this journey, they can start their actual TREASURE (LOOP) Journey now. Also all members are here.

To keep it short cause there are more chaos we have in story of ATEEZ;

While they look for the treasure- purple star they fall for another trick of Halateez

and lose many but many times like 3 years, and they use a Gate called as Door of Truth to gain time they could have passed with this door.

But Yes again they ended up with nothing. Space has a lot of stars but any of them can be their star?

Only way to exit from this space is an agreement. Basically they need something also to reach the level they could if they meet with their Utopia to escape from here. First treasure, Halateez.

And start to live in peace with them. But they couldn't make it because of their ego and Kingdom’s Answer happened. Failure.

So then what happend_? This will stay as a mystery till the second part of this thread. But if you watch my videos you already know the "Answer."

As I mentioned before, this is more like a summary, and I didn't include the elements and images that tell the full story so it wouldn't be too long. But if you're curious about where I got this information from, you can find it on my YouTube channel.

HIHI i was just wondering what ateez mvs to watch for their lore :)

OMGOMGOMGOMG

I love this question!!!!

Okay so long story short - all of them.

Short story long - not all of them.

In my previous post I talked about the difference between Universe A and Universe Z. You can kinda tell just by looking at the mv which universe it takes place in. For the most part, the mvs in Universe Z I find to be more insightful than Universe A. A lot of the Universe A lore I got from the intros and outros from the Fever Road series that they did.

Here is the link to the Fever Road series. The actual content of the video is just the boys being themselves - there's no lore there. It's the intro and outro scenes that are important. These focus on each of the boys and the relationship of them with each other. It can be hard to pick out on the first watch, so don't worry if you don't get it the first time. Slow it down and watch all that happens. All the little details are super important here. If you want me to break them down, just let me know!!

As for the rest of the lore, there are a couple of plot points in the lore that help organize everything. I'll list them below along with the associated content to look at :))

Chilling in Universe A

Pirate King

Treasure

Wave

Forming their group

Fever Road series

Diary film

Inception

Thanxx

(and I really think the Dreamy Day mv can also be included so stay tuned for that)

Travel to Universe Z

Inception

Thanxx

Fireworks

Eternal Sunshine

Deja Vu

Yeosang's Arc

Turbulance

The Real

Say My Name

There is also a small dance move in Pirate King that alludes to this whole thing

Becoming Halateez

Say My Name

Hala Hala

Pirate King maybe

Treasure

Illusion

Wave

Wonderland - and also the Kingdom performance

Answer

Limitless

Life as Halateez in the Black Pirates

Sector 1 performance

Guerilla

Bouncy

Crazy Form maybe

I know that this is a lot of information, so just take it slow!! There is also no shame in asking questions or looking to other sources and blogs and journals for help. There are so many Loretiny out there, and I'm just one of them. And I am also confused. There are going to be lots of gaps. Not all of the information is there. And you may feel as though you have more questions after than during. Videos don't come out in order which is hard. Everything is everywhere. You might be confused. That is so normal!! We all feel that. The only people who really know the lore are Ateez, and they're not going to make it easy.

I hope this was helpful lol

THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL

ATEEZ THEORY

OKAY SO I have some thoughts on the ATEEZ trailer that just released:

I firmly believe that, while we see all 8 members in this video, some of them are obviously not what they seem...

FIRST it's important to note that the boys are in the Z universe here. So this is the weird new world dystopia that A universe ATEEZ have been sucked into while time travelling. But they've been hopping about in time so much that there's sort of a jumbled mix of who is who in A universe and who is who in Z universe.

SO here is MY THEORY.

In this video, we are seeing SOME members of A universe ATEEZ in Z universe searching for someone (Hongjoong?). Some of them (Yeosang) seem to have infiltrated Z universe ATEEZ (AKA HALATEEZ AKA EVIL??) so they know someone is after one of these white cloaked figures (Hongjoong?).

Unfortunately they are too late to save him. Could this hooded figure who was trying to blend in with the brainwashed cultists be Hongjoong? Is that what Wooyoung and Yunho discover here?

Yeosang, Yunho, Wooyoung, Jongho and Mingi all seem to be A universe ATEEZ. They see this cloaked person (Hongjoong?) has been taken and they all express concern about the kidnapping.

However, who doesn't seem too concerned about this kidnapping as they witness it happening right in front of them? These two:

With their odd robotic stiffness and their dead-eyed stares...could Seonghwa and San be HALATEEZ (evil?). Or is something else going on? Both A and Z universe ATEEZ have seemed to be dead set on breaking the control the Z universe government has on people. Z universe Halateez seem to be acting a bit strange though...

If this is Halajoong...why does it seem he's leading that girl back into the line with the other brainwashed citizens? He picked her out because she wasn't following along. A world ATEEZ would think this is good! She's free! But Halajoong...well, his aims seem sinister.

My final curiosity here is...why do Halateez seem to be evil? Could the government have gotten to them? Brainwashed them?

Or is this our first view of a third version of ATEEZ that we just haven't seen (or noticed) up until now?

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[fadingoutintothehands]

Lore post

It's long sorry lol. Here is the Ateez Dystopian fictional world I've made.

Very inspired by lots of different things, Ateez obviously, but out of their music it's very Movement and Outlaw (and Halazia) heavy because when Guerilla came out I went Crazy™️ and came up with this. Inspiration also comes from Black Knight (on Netflix) and very loosely the concept/lore of Danger Days by My Chemical Romance, and overall just dystopian media that I've consumed etc.

The world

It's a dystopian post apocalyptic future about 250 years in the future ish, it's not strict on timeline though, after solar storms destroyed the environment (I am not a geography expert I don't know what would actually happen). The story takes place in Utopia - a nation made in the wake of the apocalypse - which is ruled by a tyrannical government. Utopia is split into 35 Sectors which are mega cities in select regions of the country; the lower the number (eg Sector 1, Sector 2) the more important it is. Those in the Sectors are called Citizens. Outside of these Sectors are The Dunes where Outlaws live. Outlaws are the people who were not originally chosen for the Sectors 100 years ago, and thus now they live in poverty-stricken overcrowded cities. Outlaws are a scavenger society ignored by the Utopian government. The boarders of the Sectors are protected by a military unit called the Guardians.

The Outlaws worship a deity known as Halazia who they believe has promised to save them from Utopia. Worship of Halazia has been banned in the Sectors.

Ateez

Ateez are known as Halateez and are a nomadic group within The Dunes with the intent to provide aid to Outlaws as well as to remove the influence of Utopia through any means necessary. They've been classed as a militant group by the Utopian government, but are heralded as protectors by the Outlaws. Their identities are unknown. It is believed that Halateez has been sent by Halazia to protect the people.

Seonghwa: a defector of Utopia, originally from Sector 3 and trained to be a Guardian, seen by the Outlaws as a physical connection to Halazia.

Hongjoong: the leader of Halateez, originally raised by another militant nomadic group but left as the only survivor after a Guardian attack.

Yunho: an orphan from Horizon City, an Outlaw territory, and seeked out Halateez after they saved his friend, Mingi.

Yeosang: a Citizen from Sector 10 originally, went into The Dunes to find his childhood best friend Wooyoung, acts as the medic for Halateez.

San: forced into a criminal organisation in the Outlaw territory Crescent City, invited to join Halateez for a better life, often works undercover.

Mingi: followed Yunho into finding Halateez after being saved from a Guardian attack, known as Django due to his reputation.

Wooyoung: moved to Crescent City after being forced to leave Sector 10, quickly adapted to Outlaw life by making his own weapons, joined San in going to Halateez.

Jongho: taken hostage by Halateez as he's the son of the Senator of Sector 1, joined Halateez after being shown the tyrannical nature and oppression of the government.

Halateez has two contacts within Utopia from which they gain information to use on missions into the Sectors;

Eden: a high up official within a government department, it's unknown who he is or where he works but he's known for helping defectors from the Guardian unit.

Maddox: the personal assistant to the Senator of Sector 1, and as a result a close friend of Jongho, acts as an inside spy for Halateez.

-----------------

Lol anyway that's the lore. It's very abridged and simplified. I have much more information about like, the government system, how the Sectors function etc. But I thought this post is long enough already. I have no intention to do anything with this fictional world I made because I neither posses the ability to write fanfic or draw fanart (though I envy those who do) so the silly little aesthetic choices and outfits I've created will unfortunately remain in my head.

I don't know if this is way too similar to anything out there already, it's obviously very inspired by media I've consumed - I'm fully willing to say everything that's inspired me if anyone asks, and how those influences have made their way into this.

I also don't know if I'll ever do a follow up lore post or anything related to this dystopian world thing. If you want me to 👀👀👀 then it can't hurt.

— SPIN OFF: FROM THE WITNESS PROLOGUE ANALYSIS AND PREDICTIONS

1) YEOSANG

We start our prologue video with a flashback of Yeosang turning the Cromer in Deja Vu aka Yeosang sacrificing himself to save Ateez from the Android Guardians, moving them in another dimension and timeline (if confused read here). The fact that this is included, leads me to think that Yeosang in chains symbolises him being imprisoned in the Android Guardian's Gallery.

Paradigm mv seems to reference to imprisoned Yeosang as well, as I said here.

BUT, it could also mean that he's going to be in danger again in the near future 🥲 (let's hope not)

2) THE BELLS?

These metal spheres appear in the sky. They are similar to those in Guerrila mv and, because of the radio sounds in the background of the video as well, I'm thinking they could be big speakers that diffuse the sound of bells to awake the population of Strictland and announce the arrival of Ateez as the new fighters leading the revolution.

Why bells? Because bells sounds were included in the deleted teaser for Spin off: From the Witness, and this prologue says:

"the great sound of a bell resonated through the air"

As twitter Atinys pointed out, they also seem those used during the Ateez concerts, that looked like moons 👀 and we know full moons = being able to use the Cromer to move.

But since in the prologue these spheres are with the black pirates at the mall, i'd stick to the speaker/bell rather than the moon, for now at least.

3) GRAVITY AND YUNHO

"the world lost gravity"

Yunho is seen on his knees on the floor that's covered in sand with three wooden columns: Yunho is inside the Cromer and the sand is running backwards.

We've already seen sand inside the Cromer running backwards and objects floating: in the Fever 1 Diary Film when Hongjoong was given the Cromer by Halateez Hongjoong.

The setting Yunho is in next seems the same as the Answer mv: the windows, the chandelier, the chairs... but why is he there?

As we can see, the clip is distorted and we said that he is shown inside the Cromer: he used it and had a vision/premonition of Answer, like it happened to Ateez in the XR Show Fever: the eXtended edition, when they find themselves in the desert as Halateez before they are captured by the Android Guardians.

Yunho having a premonition of Answer could be connected to his importance and role in Ateez's escape to Utopia (see my Spin Off: From the Witness premonitions post).

4) MINGI AND THE NOTEBOOK

Mingi is the one finding the notebook of the witness!! We don't know yet who's the witness or what he tells in his notebook...

(this is from the ktown4u product page)

Another interesting detail about the notebook is that throughout the Prologue we can hear pages being turned: are the sentences in the video from the notebook?

-> Continues in reblog because I can't put any more pictures 🥲

Music Monday #237: ATEEZ - Everything release: December 2023 genre: Kpop, K-R&B cw: flashing, arson, a relationship dissolving on screen

And now for something completely the same: ATEEZ's final unit MV from WILL, in which everyone cries and things end up on fire. Look, no one ever said K-dramas lacked in, well, drama. ;) The lyrics spoil the story, but if you really don't want any spoilers, watch the video before continuing further.

Obviously a solo song from Jongho was going to be a ballad - in previous years, when the team was less busy, his solo content was a series of covers for kdrama OSTs. He's main vocalist for a reason and don't even get me started on his Mayfly-V stage during Kingdom. Everything is every bit as soulful and heart-wrenching as any ATINY could have expected, a song about loss and regret and knowing you can never make right the things you did wrong, but oh, if you could.... The soft piano opening, the way Jongho pours his whole heart into his voice from the soft opening to the soaring high notes of the climax that then trails off into soft wistfulness once more to the end ... you may need to keep a tissue close for this one.

This music video, unlike previous unit videos, is almost entirely story mode, as Jongho flexes his acting chops once more, now with less baby face. Most of the flashing is at the very start, where the video flashes through snapshots of the scenes we'll see play out a bit more in the video, so the bigger warning is really if watching a relationship fall apart on screen is a bugbear of yours. The lyrics already spoil the narrative, since the song starts out talking about never being able to see the other person again, but the video offers more context to why things ended up that way.

Interestingly, this video was shot entirely on sound stages - yes, even the snowy night scenes, which was a surprise to me, too. And it's not CGI snow - watching the behind the scenes, I was surprised and impressed at the number of practical effects where others would have gone with computer-generated. Some of the fire at the end is very obviously computer-added, but it's combined with actual on-set controlled fires that the old-school film fan in me quietly appreciates. Plus the snow. So much fake snow, it's a delight ... until Jongho told me how they made the fake snow and now all I see is that. XD

And now ... the lore paragraph! As with Youth, Everything is firmly planted in the A 'verse, with Jongho as a former basketballer living with his girlfriend until they break up because he's been a shit boyfriend. This means we've moved along the timeline a little bit, though that fits with the lyric in Youth talking about being in their twenties - Zero Fever implied Heroteez were still in high school. Of course ATEEZ lore has never been entirely linear and considering ATEEZ were already in their twenties during Fever era, the warehouse scene from the diary could just as easily be happening closer to this than first appearances lead us to believe. So once again we're left with more questions ... and the recent teasers ATEEZ have released have been no help at all - I have no idea where Not Okay is going to fall and ANITEEZ are in Halateez garb, soooo. Who knows. Not me. XD

This is the last WILL unit MV ... so of course yesterday KQ put out a performance version of MATZ which has almost no footage overlap with the original MV. I had initially assumed the difference in shooting days (Everything was one day, the other three shot for two days each) had to do with Jongho being on his own for this project. But now I'm wondering if secret performance versions also contributed, since the other three have dances and Everything doesn't. I suppose we will have to wait and see.

WILL is still available for purchase, ATEEZ just wrapped a two day concert extravaganza (based on what I've seen from it so far) in Seoul to kick of another world tour (additional dates in Japan in February, further tour details to come later), and oh yeah, Coachella in April, so another busy year of travelling the world, kicking butt and taking names.

ATEEZ Theory Tidbits Episode 14: HALATEEZ? TREASURETEEZ? THE WORLDTEEZ? FEVERTEEZ?

Aka, Casper struggling with the ATEEZ storyline.

You know, I like to say that TXT’s storyline has DID. And if TXT’s storyline has DID, ATEEZ themselves have DID. Although they were introduced to us in very normal terms through TREASURE, the arrival of Zero to One and HALA HALA changed that - there was an alternate version of ATEEZ, likely from a different universe/timeline, who seemed able to possess the original members. They were darker, self-destructive, and more than likely traumatised. When they appear, ‘original’ ATEEZ describe feeling like they’re going to explode, or fire imagery. And also going crazy.

And then FEVER happened. And we all thought that they were HALAteez, as they had been dubbed. But then there were suggestions that they weren’t. And then the same thing happened again with THE WORLD. So what in the name of Namjesus is going on? Only Hongjoong knows. And let’s be honest, even the people who seem sure of their interpretations of the storyline are probably completely wrong. Because ATEEZ are like that. And I’m not here to be certain about the storyline. I’m here to stare reaaaaaally hard at Hongjoong’s armband and talk about media history and the random things that noone else talks about. And that’s okay.

So, let’s talk about the four current versions of ATEEZ - who the hell are they? What are they about? Are there four versions? More? Who is HALAteez? Does HALAteez even exist? And what do I wish was the case?

All of that is below the line.

What I wish would happen

You know how in the Diary Film, they talked about the universe splitting in 8? I would absolutely love it (and think it would be interesting and poetic) if there were 8 versions of ATEEZ, one for each member/fragment of the universe. So, who is which one?

Well, to be honest I don’t know. The only one I would put down for certain is HALATEEZ being from Hongjoong’s section - they are what we all generally consider the actual original version of ATEEZ, thus it makes sense that they are the product of the Captain. They’re also the traumatised ones - remember ‘Precious,’ which most people consider the HALAteez version of ‘Treasure,’ where Hongjoong is left alone with the Treasure, the rest of the members dead. I mean, I could potentially go on. But I feel like it’s a natural conclusion to come to. Especially since HALAteez seem to communicate with Hongjoong the most, Hongjoong is the one who understands what’s going on in the storyline, and I am a big fan of the insane Hongjoong messing up the universe theory. 

As far as the other ones?

I like FEVER as Yeosang - he’s the one who is arguably the main character of the segment - a contender for the author of ‘Dear Diary,’ and with a continued story throughout the series, from INCEPTION to Deja Vu, The Real, and Turbulence. Not to mention how he was highlighted in that era - got a lot of ending fairies and centre time in ending poses. 

TREASURE - I’m thinking Yunho, Mingi or Jongho - Jongho is the maknae and thus by default is considered more innocent than the others. TREASURE is the era where the group is new to the world - thus why it is the era we were introduced to them in. They are discovering things like the Guardians, HALAteez, other universes, and more. Jongho by default would match this description. But I like more evidence than just age. And if I had to pick someone else, it would probably be Yunho or even Mingi. Both Yunho and Mingi have roles in the storyline based on directing the other members towards their goal - while YUnho is ‘pointing’, Mingi is the one who keeps the pace. TREASURE was about travelling a lot, both literally and metaphorically, and they are the members who best represent this. There could be arguments for either, although, with how hard Mingi was pushed as a rapper and an intimidating, cool member, and how he had centre parts in songs like ‘WAVE,’ he probably has more evidence in his favour.

THE WORLD - well, I’m feeling a pretty solid Seonghwa. We were introduced to THE WORLD after the end of FEVER through the transitional single ‘Don’t Stop,’ which showed Seonghwa leading the group in Hongjoong’s absence. Although we haven’t had much THE WORLD era content, Seonghwa has been highlighted in the storyline - both in ‘Guerrilla’ and ‘Halazia’ through the styling and cinematography. He literally starts ‘Halazia’ with Hongjoong and gets multiple killing points in the choreographies of both songs, including directing the group in ‘Halazia,’ and being the one in the MV to get arguably the coolest and most memorable set. Not to mention he’s the one who has the Jesus allegory - a literal leader and saviour? Sure, ‘Halazia’ and the Spin off album aren’t an actual part of THE WORLD - that’s why it’s a spin off. But I would consider it a peripheral part of the THE WORLD era, the same was I would consider Don’t Stop the bridge between FEVER and THE WORLD, and ‘Dreamers’ part of FEVER. So yes, we have indeed been seeing a lot of First Mate Hwa lately.

Interesting things about the above;

This would also suggest that Yeosang and Yunho’s dimensions are connected, as Hongjoong has said that FEVER and TREASURE are in the same universe. Although goodness knows where he/KQ are going with that.

Hongjoong says we only have less than half of the storyline released, so this fits the idea that there will be 8 versions of ATEEZ, one for each member. First, we know that the number 8 is hugely important to the group. It is also highly likely that each album series follows a different version of the group, so makes sense that we’ve seen four of eight, and thus a bit less than half of the storyline.

And now that I’ve looked through all of this and come up with Hongjoong, Yeosang, Yunho, and Seonghwa as potential candidates, I wonder - if they are going in rough age order?

I mean, goodness knows where ATEEZ are actually going with their storyline, but it’s interesting to look at.

So, what do we know about each of the groups so far?

TREASURETEEZ

Aka what most of us consider the ‘original’ ATEEZ, although they probably aren’t, chronologically.

Introduced in; ‘Pirate King’ and ‘Treasure.’

Key tracks; ‘Intro: Long Journey,’ ‘Outro: Long Journey,’ ‘WAVE,’ ‘Say My Name,’ ‘WONDERLAND,’ ‘ILLUSION,’ ‘UTOPIA,’ Answer,’ ‘Treasure,’ etc.

Characteristics; Sand, the flying pirate ship, friendship, the phases of the moon, dreams and illusions, utopia, time travel, phases of the moon, water and fire, wonderland, Peter Pan/Alice in Wonderland/other classics, the Treasure, good vs evil, names and ATINY etc.

Summary; It’s ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ but mixed with both fairy tales and old, deeply disturbing, Gothic media. Pretty much summarises ATEEZ’s storyline as a whole.

TREASURETEEZ are, as I said, what most people consider the ‘original,’ since they were the version of the group we were introduced to first. But that’s the only reason. Actually, in the storyline, it seems that TREASURETEEZ come in only in the middle, or towards the end. They seem more ‘bland’ than the other versions, mostly out of necessity of introducing the fandom slowly to the complexities of ATEEZ’s storyline. But they do have their own unique aspects. For instance - the flying pirate ship, which has only been seen in ‘Don’t Stop’ since the TREASURE era. Or the idea of the search for the Treasure, which has been an underlying theme of the whole story, but which was especially key to TREASURETEEZ. Additionally, their concepts of travelling (shown through the many locations of their MVs), fantasy, and utopia/illusions/dreams, while important to the other groups, were far more heavily emphasised for TREASURETEEZ. Partially due to their originality and being the first, they remain super iconic and laid the groundwork for the other groups to follow. But honestly, we haven’t really heard from them in at least a year, so it’s interesting but also kind of sad to think about them now...

HALATEEZ

Introduced in; ‘HALA HALA.’

Main/key songs; arguable, but I would say ‘Desire,’ ‘From,’ ‘Precious,’ ‘HALA HALA,’ and ‘Answer: Ode to Joy.’

Actual name: Suicide Squad

Characteristics: Black pirates, the fedoras, chains etc (the Gothic pirate outfit that is mandatory ATEEZ concert atire), masks, gloves, the box, conflict with the Guardians, showing up and helping the other versions of ATEEZ, explosions, fire, insanity, self-destruction and harm, the Cromer, illusions and dreams, chaos and imprisonment, etc

Summary: They are literally Mr Hyde, but... weirder.

HALATEEZ, as they have been (incorrectly) dubbed were introduced as Jekyll-and-Hyde-type villains for TREASURETEEZ in their second comeback. They showed up randomly, seemingly caused a whole bunch of conflict and killed some people, and skedaddled again. We saw glimpses of them in ‘ILLUSION’ and ‘WONDERLAND,’ in different forms, and they returned in full in ‘Answer’ to seemingly make a truce with TREASURETEEZ and to help them fight the Guardians. Since then, we have seen them in all ATEEZ eras and in most albums/releases, especially alongside the Guardians. They are mentioned continually in the Diary entries and have appeared in other media like the FEVER eXtended edition and the Diary Film. In FEVER, we see them a few times, mostly in ‘Deja Vu,’ as the Guardians also seem to be chasing versions of ATEEZ across time and space (cue Dr Who theme). They even show up in THE WORLD, both being mentioned as a kay aspect of the world but also being characterised as some long-gone Jesus-type saviours who have literal shrines in their honour, and where the ATEEZ of THE WORLD are turning into a new version of the Black Pirates on their journey to free the world from oppression. 

They have also been seen helping every different version of ATEEZ - KINGDOM was a great way for them to demonstrate this - we saw HALATEEZ helping the ATEEZ in WONDERLAND, Awakening of Summer, and Answer: Ode to Joy, where they sacrificed themselves to help that version of ATEEZ (possibly FEVERTEEZ???) defeat the Guardians. 

So, it’s a pretty easy conclusion to come to to say that HALATEEZ are arguably the most important version of ATEEZ - another reason to associate them with Hongjoong.

FEVERTEEZ

Introduced in; INCEPTION

Main/key tracks; ‘Dear Diary,’ ‘INCEPTION,’ ‘THANXX,’ ‘Deja Vu,’ ‘Eternal Sunshine,’ ‘Turbulence,’ ‘The Real,’ etc

Characteristics; boyhood, dystopia, coming of age, grunge, graffiti, day of the dead imagery, fire and water, dreams, memory loss, inspiration from movies, mad max (maybe maybe not), gloves, etc

Summary; Everyone is sad, especially Yeosang, and the world may or may not be real.

FEVER was an interesting era. I’m still not entirely sure how or why we decided it, but we collectively, as a fandom, decided that FEVER is a prequel to TREASURE. I think a lot of this came from the Diary Film, which shows the origin of the members in their world, and shows Hongjoong being given the Cromer - since the group have the Cromer in TREASURE, them being given it would obvously come before. It also came with the idea that FEVERTEEZ were HALATEEZ - this is also an obvious conclusion - ‘fever’ was a word often used to describe the feeling the members had when they were being taken over by HALATEEZ, and FEVERTEEZ and HALATEEZ have many common themes, such as dystopia, 1984 inspirations, associations with fire, using gloves and  masks, etc etc. But looking at the storyline as it is now, I don’t think this is the case. For starters, HALATEEZ (mostly Hongjoong) actually show up in FEVER - which either suggests time travel (admittedly a key part of the storyline), or that they are different people. It’s more of a ‘ohh look at Hongjoong being the subtle villain of the story’ than it is a circular section of a cyclical storyline. I think we as a fandom have perhaps just gone a little far with how nonlinear ATEEZ’s storyline is. To be fair, I may be completely wrong, but we can at least agree that the storyline is so nonlinear that ATINY have gone a bit crazy and just run with it.

But, removing FEVERTEEZ from HALATEEZ, what do we know about them? They seem to live in a semi-dystopian world (like the world of THE WORLD, but less drastic), and have a big concept of rebelling against society. Their storyline is explicitly inspired by a host of Korean, English, and American movies, such as Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Their view of their world seems to become more sober/less idealistic over time, going from relatively normal but a tiny bit off in INCEPTION and THANXX, to on fire in Fireworks, to a 1984-espque world in ‘Deja Vu’ and a tragic loss of self in ‘Turbulence.’ This connects to the dream state that they experience, which, speaking of - the duality of water and fire is associated with this - water as a symbol of the dream state and fire as the real world. This can be applied to the rest of the storyline, as we know the group is in a dream in ‘WAVE,’ where we see a lot of water, but in WONDERLAND and Don’t Stop, where they are awake, we see fire. This also further connects to utopia, as utopia is associated with water, but water for ATEEZ is a dream, just as the utopia isn’t real. Whereas fire is hellish and chaotic, but also associated here with the real world - showing the actual, horrific nature of the world they live in.

However, FEVER era also introduced the Diary versions of the albums, which, interestingly, seemingly discuss the world of THE WORLD. The fact that they are associated with FEVERTEEZ through the virtue of literally being part of their albums suggests that the ATEEZ of THE WORLD and FEVERTEEZ are the same - they even have the same hideout and same events of the Guardians invading the hideout. But Hongjoong also says that these two albums come from different universes, which suggests that they are different groups... so why did the FEVER albums discuss the events of THE WORLD? What is going on? Are they parallels of each other but in slightly different versions of reality where THE WORLD has gone even further into the 1984 world?

Anyway, until we have more content of THE WORLD and I have done a more thorough analysis of the Diaries, we can only really assume that they are separate but similar groups, and that, by virtue of contributing mostly to the following era, FEVER is a very interesting but generally lower quantity of contribution to the storyline.

THE WORLD...TEEZ?

Omg I hate calling them THE WORLDTEEZ. Can we call them 1984-teez or something?

Introduced in; arguable - ‘Don’t Stop,’ ‘Awakening of Summer,’ or ‘Guerrilla,’ depending on your opinion of the storyline.

Key tracks; Awakening of Summer, Guerrilla, Sector 1, Propaganda, Halazia (maybe) etc

Characteristics; Literally 1984, human rights, oppression, suppression and rebellion, technology, human nature, etc

Summary; I don’t think they can be described in a better way than ‘literally 1984.’

The most recent version of ATEEZ to be revealed. They exist in a world where the government has decided that the best way to develop humanity further is to get rid of all emotions, art, and music. There is still some legend of the Black Pirates, who literally have a shrine to them. Anyway, let’s just say that. although we don’t know a huge amount yet, we do know that ATEEZ are fighting against the loss of creativity in this world and may or may not be pushing for a world of anarchy. This is also a world that may or may not be the origin of the Guardians, but is certainly one they are present in. 

Conclusions

So what the hell is going on? We as a fandom seem obsessed with HALATEEZ. Every time a new album series comes out, we seem obsessed with the idea of them being HALATEEZ - Treasureteez clearly just had DID. But then FEVERTEEZ clearly WERE HALATEEZ. But wait, the ATEEZ from THE WORLD have more similar concepts and worlds to HALATEEZ than the other previous versions. So, it must be them.... right?

Well, yes and no. Because I am indeed, firmly of the opinion that HALATEEZ are the main characters of the storyline, yet will only ever remain in the background. We saw this especially on KINGDOM - the members of HALATEEZ were seen helping the other versions of ATEEZ but were never the centre of attention. 

So, what’s even the point? Why am I bothering running this blog? What is life, death, why do we even exist?

I guess we just have to wait and see. This is less of a theory post than laying out the facts that we have - although, as expected with ATEEZ, these details are all up to interpretation. But I do think I have a decent case for the 8 universes-8 versions of ATEEZ theory (although the circular reasoning of it being based on my own pet theories may be a bit dodgy).

[morayofsunshine]

Ok so right now I'm thinking of the various dimensions in the ATEEZ lore as a series of layers, that a character discovers as they get more involved in the plot. Like how dreams in the movie Inception are structured, since Ateez made so many connections to the movie in their song Inception for a reason. Additionally, this order of dimensions I'm about to talk about is structured mostly as a model for how events seem to take place in this narrative, from dimensions that have the most influence over other dimensions and the characters that cause most events, to those that have the least (as far as we know right now). I'm not really sure yet what exact metaphysical form the different dimensions take.

So at the moment, what seems to be the core of the multidimensional mv universe is the dystopia from where Halateez hails. That's where the music videos and performances have been making allusions to this entire time, and where this next comeback is explicitly set. It's where there's technology to lengthen human lives and keep them controlled, a government determined to suppress human emotion, and a revolution waiting to happen.

Just outside of this dimension is where a few fantasy dimensions exist. It's a bit early to tell what order these dimensions are in or how exactly they tie with the others, but in terms of most to least influence, they come next. These dimensions have the adventurous world of the pirates and their journey, and the dreamworld utopia of Eternal Sunshine. The music videos that featured these dimensions didn't come with a lot of directly stated background information the way the others did, so they're the source of most theorytinys' questions and speculation. I think they could be here to show examples of other personas the characters can have, who may eventually help with the main plot; as a distraction from the main plot, to try to keep the characters from accomplishing their goals; to teach the characters important lessons for their main quest, simultaneously introducing new themes of the narrative; as a way for the main Ateez group and Halateez to communicate with eachother without being watched; or a combination of these.

Next, we have a dimension that seems similar to our own, where the main Ateez group hails from. I call them the main Ateez group because they're the ones that are introduced to us individually, and with the members' real names. This is where the story chronologically seems to start, and the main group travels to the other dimensions from here. Here, things mainly seem to happen *to* the characters, until Hongjoong uses the Cromer and takes everyone to the core. This dimension seems a lot like our own: until the Cromer is brought from Halateez's dimension, there is no magic or outlandish technology, and the characters' problems seem a lot like the problems any student in the 21st century could potentially have. In fact, the storylines written for the characters in this dimension were based on the members' actual experiences. Which brings me to:

Real life. Our actual dimension, outside of the screens. We as an audience mainly watch and listen to things happen, with little power to impact the events in a story that the producers have already written. However, that doesn't stop Halateez from trying to reach out to us through physical posters and blink-and-you'll-miss-it social media posts. We're the ones being asked to "wake up" now that Halateez has reached out to their allies in the fictional dimensions that surround their world. Because this dimension may host the audience that treats the other dimensions as fictional, but it hosts the inspirations that sparked the ideas for the story, as well. And so the narrative influences wrap back around to the center in a multidimensional doughnut.

ATEEZ MVs according to the storyline

Pirate King - After Left Eye received the signal through the machine; ATEEZ became the leaders of the 'Black Pirate' Resistance so the title 'Pirate King' would make sense here

Treasure - On the way to the island to search for the Android Guardians' bunker

Say My Name - At the bunker discovering the men in black fedoras and becoming part of them; also includes Yeosang becoming trapped in a glass prison

Hala Hala - Just about the men in black fedoras creating the Resistance

Promise - Not to do with the storyline

Wave - Reached the island and just taking in its beauty, as well as getting hopeful about their return

Illusion - On the way to the island as well, but also includes bits from the 'Strictland' with yellow smoke causing hallucinations and illusions

Utopia - The central government planned to create a utopian society by controlling its people and their emotions

Wonderland - The plan to steal the Cromer from Henry Jo; Wooyoung chained up in the MV is reminiscent of Henry Jo holding Wooyoung hostage with a knife

Answer - ATEEZ taking on the roles of the men in black fedoras and beginning to work out what was going on in the new dimension

Inception - Before all of this happens; it shows their individual treasures and ends with Hongjoong receiving the Cromer in his dreams

Thanxx - Again I don't think it has much connection to the storyline, apart from the ship at the end, which is ATEEZ on their way to the island

Fireworks (I'm The One) - The members are at the dump in the 'Strictland', looking for Left Eye, and learn more about the 'new world'

Deja Vu - Yeosang broke the Cromer to save the members, the rest of ATEEZ found Yeosang's drone outside the hideout and to save him tried to get back to the 'new world' but ended up going back in time to just before Yunho's brother died

Eternal Sunshine - Again not much except Wooyoung flying at the end which could symbolise him being prepared to sacrifice himself to save the others

Turbulence - After Yeosang was imprisoned and the rest of the members made it back to the 'real world', they felt extremely sad and lost without Yeosang, but decided to go back for him, hence Wooyoung flying

The Real - ATEEZ managed to save Yeosang and joined the 'Black Pirates'; they also worked through their conflicts (Mingi was at least partially the catalyst for their falling out, and he’s now the catalyst for reuniting; Yeosang is now the opposite of what he thought he was. He considered himself a burden and a liability, but has become the inverse in every sense, now being the driving force for ATEEZ coming together and filling the role of an emissary of peace between them)

Don’t Stop - We don’t know too much about the significance of many symbols, but to me Don’t Stop seems to take place many years into the future; maybe like Narnia ATEEZ decided to stay in the ‘New World’ and fix things but got disillusioned, but now they’ve reunited and have taken up their original cause

Guerilla - ATEEZ and the Black Pirates carrying out their plan of disturbing Z’s broadcast with their music and performances, as well as distributing flyers and breakers. The MV ends with them meeting the boy from Prestige Academy, carried on in the diary entries

Paradigm - ATEEZ creating a new pattern/set of rules to follow in the Strictland; one where everything that had been limited previously is slowly being integrated back into society

Halazia - Spin Off: From the Witness takes place in an era before Halateez. The ‘Old Eight’ are a group who look like ATEEZ, and try to spark a revolution in the Strictland. However, they fail, which sets the stage for Halateez to form, and eventually Feverteez. The people at the end of the video are the ‘witnesses’ who pass on their knowledge to Hala- and Feverteez (that bit’s just my thoughts)

Special mentions :-

Symphony No.9: From The Wonderland - The men in black fedoras helping them by giving them the Cromer and their journey to the island

The Awakening of Summer - The ban of all arts and emotions in the 'new world' by the central government, and the formation of the Resistance

Answer: Ode to Joy - ATEEZ saving Yeosang and defeating the Android Guardians

Clones in kpop and what they represent

Sounds like I’ve been thinking too much again! But these plots are some of my faves so I did some extra thinking :)

Here’s what I really love about these three specific storylines from these three groups; each group uses clones to tell a very different but poignant story point. (I’m sure other groups have used this concept, I’m sorry if I don’t know your faves well enough to add them) 

Ateez: Warning of the future

 I’m pretty new to Ateez’s storyline but I’ve done a bit of digging and ultimately see their ‘Halateez/Black Pirate’ clones as warnings of the future. Their clones have seen some bad things happen, have caused some bad things to happen, have seen Ateez fractured, but they know there’s a way to change it. They never seem (to me) to come with any form of malice. Sure, maybe they’re still troublemakers, but when they’re facing Ateez it’s not as enemies, but as ‘We know something you don’t know, so take our advice’. Maybe not in words, but that’s the vibe I get especially from Hongjoong’s clone. I really love this use of story telling as well, because you’re already being told that something bad is going to happen, but you just don’t know what yet. You only get to see glimpses. It’s awesome. 

Verivery: We want to replace you

Verivery’s VRVR clones have always been seen as ‘enemy’ or at least ‘ominous’ figures. Initially we only really get to see Kangmin’s VRVR, and as time has gone on he seems to be the least volatile out of all of them (but then again, maybe he already replaced Kangmin a long time ago...) This storyline is really enjoyable because of the uncertainty of who is actually who. There are often hints that some of the boys have already been replaced by their VRVR versions, and especially in their most recent MVs we have seen the VRVR’s capture Verivery, and in Trigger we even saw some die(?) at the hands of the VRVR so that they can fully replace them. It’s a dynamic, confusing, and rollercoaster of a storyline that always leaves me excited to see what happens next, to Verivery and the VRVR...

Kingdom: Internal strife

Obviously for Kingdom the idea of clones has not been an ongoing storyline like for Ateez and Verivery, but I still love this plot point in Ivan’s chapter so I wanted to bring it up, plus it’s very different than the other two and yet still a great use of clones. For me, this story plot was more of us as viewers seeing an actual representation of two sides of Ivan (and his squad) being pitted against each other to gain great power. Ivan in white seems more worried, more anxious about what the power would bring (and yet he’s the one who is seen actually taking the black crown), whereas Ivan in black is seen as more violent and reckless (but more protective of his group), and he is the one who ultimately ends up on top with the crown in the end. I love seeing this because I think it’s a great visual way to show internal strife by giving us two sides of one person represented so colorfully, and it really makes the viewer have to think and consider what’s going on. And honestly if you wanted to think ‘hey there are just clones in their world bc it’s a fantasy world anyway’ then you could totally think that, too LOL it’s very up to the interpretation of the viewer, and I enjoy that very much.

Anyway, tl;dr: This is a very fun and unique way to tell a story, and I love it. I think it allows for the storylines of these mvs to have ‘an enemy’ and some strife and keeps the fans wondering wtf is going on and who is gonna come out on top in the end: the good versions, or the bad versions (or is there even any distinction between them???) 

Anyway, love a good story! Thanks for reading!

bvlnoriyas 12 moments of 2021!
