- snapshoot

synopsis: when hongjoong had failed many times in his life trying to capture memories around him through his camera, one stranger will make his dream turn slowly into a reality.

hongjoong x oc

genre: fluff, romance, slight gut punching sadness (?), slight angst (?),

word count: 941

warnings: swearing, mentions of memory loss

a/n: surprise muthafuckas, im BAAAACK! did you all miss me? (probably not, its okay though 🥰 no hard feelings) it has been a hot minute since i have been writing smth, a lot was going on (acads wise) for me to sneak this in my sched but fortunately enough i now have the energy to write again! woohoo! just a little backstory with this fic; originally i wanted to post more of a horror, mysterious, thriller type fic w/ hongjoong in it but then after listening to So Tender on loop thanks to Nevertheless, my sleep deprived brain had come up with a plot that was based on the vibes of this song and so came my brain child which is this 😉... so um yeah, enjoy reading a slightly angsty joong with his baby film camera ❤️ and hi again

"You're a dickhead" "What's with that camera, weirdo?" "This guy probably got some demon inside of him to latch onto that old thing." "Asshole."

Hongjoong aggressively gets out of bed after the overlapping voices that constantly bombarded his mind. Old movie posters, off-white sheets, magazine cut-outs scattered on the wooden floor; yup he is definitely not dreaming he assured himself. He leans near his bedside to check the time on his phone; 7:30 A.M, still enough time to sleep. He plops back onto his position and stares dully at the blank space before drifting off into the abyss.

Alarm goes off, its 11:30. Hongjoong groans as the high-pitched shrieking of the ringtone resonates throughout the entire room. He grabs the phone to turn-off the alarm and after a few lazy attempts, he finally jumps out of bed. As he dragged his feet along the hall, the welcoming aroma of sausages and noodles wafting through the air instantly woke up Hongjoong's spirit as he neared the starting point of the savory smell. "There goes our number one champ, how did dreamland do for you today?" A chirpy voice welcomes the disgruntled Hongjoong in the kitchen while his back was turned and focused on the pan. "Same shit, different day." He replied with distaste. Wooyoung then swiftly flips the sausages and serves them up in the counter with a smile, signaling Hongjoong to eat up.

"Are you sure you don't wanna join with me and San? Hiking can do a lot to ease your mind." "Thanks, but I don't think hiking's enough to really fix something so complex as to what I am experiencing; besides, I'll just be a third-wheel to you both anyways so why bother joining in?" A sarcastic grin and two middle fingers standing strongly were enough for Hongjoong to shut up and keep his distance away from Wooyoung exploding. Hongjoong grabs out of his pocket a mini film camera; or as something he would call an "invaluable value". He props his elbows on the counter to get an eye-level shot of Wooyoung eating across the table and with a swift press of a button, the shutter goes off.

"Still got nothing?" Wooyoung asks concerningly, Hongjoong shakes his head in disappointment. Wooyoung clicks his tongue as he saw his friend fiddle around the camera while leaving the deepest sigh in the room. "It doesn't make sense to me, I'm literally the only person in this room who you trust more than yourself. And yet not even a single, simple moment can be captured?" "I've been asking that same question for more than a year Wooyoung, you think that I would have the fucking answer by now?" Hongjoong grits his teeth in annoyance. "If I did then I wouldn't rely on this stupid device to help me remember my family members, let alone what relationship I have with them." Wooyoung softens his posture as he watches Hongjoong slowly submerge in his emotions. As he tries to calm him down, Hongjoong gets up firmly and storms towards his room.

A few hours after the breakfast incident, Hongjoong gets out of the shower and ready himself for today's errands. "Already gone out with San, coming home around 9ish. Food's there in the fridge, just heat em up in the oven. Sorry for what happened in the kitchen, will make it up to you when you get back :)" Hongjoong scoffs at his roommate's note pasted on his door. "I'm sorry too for lashing out, I'll make it up to you." Hongjoong said in his mind as he proceeded to get dressed and head on out. Camera slung over his neck and a plastered smile, he heads on out to the busy city to begin his daily hustle.

Blaring sounds of car honks and rampant voices with colorful tones greeted Hongjoong as he walked towards the main building of his office; the hell-hole as he would like to refer to it. As Hongjoong takes a gander in the freezing lobby waiting for the elevator to come, he takes a look-see outside the window to lessen his boredom. From then he saw an old-time couple on the sidewalk, sharing an ice-cream cone and giggling like they were in their glory days. Hongjoong took out his film camera to try and attempt if he could capture such a sweet moment but before he could even take the perfect shot, he was greeted by a body slam of a young woman who just got out of the elevator who was seemingly rushing. “Oh my God, I am so sorry sir.” The lady helped Hongjoong get up and dusted off his camera. Hongjoong was enraged by this woman’s carelessness, but before he could even open his mouth to give her a good lecture she had already vanished. As Hongjoong cursed her out in his brain, he frantically viewed his camera to check its condition and if the lady stole any of his SD’s cards--- like there’s even something in them.

But there was.

It wasn’t the merry old couple he wanted to take a shot of, no not at all. But it was the blurry, candid shot of his encounter with the woman. With streaks of blurred colors and motions that only the lens could make sense of the situation. Hongjoong was appalled, never in the course of his time would his camera pick up a distinct memory to help him remember; not even his own birthday. He zooms in even more to try and take a good look into this woman but no visible figure could be found.

“Who the fuck are you?”

ateez reacts: idol!s/o goes to their concert

💌 This is: requested

Hongjoong:

He was sad upon hearing how you were still in another country shooting for a music video when he invited you to come over and watch their concert. But he tried not to make it obvious in his voice because he knows you have a busy schedule too and doesn’t want to bother you anymore. But unknown to him, you were already back in the country a few hours ago and met up with his manager to give you a ticket.

The following night, concert staffs blew up backstage how Y/N was in the crowd. While performing, Hongjoong kept moving his head all over, diving his eyes through the ocean of people just to see you. And when he found you on the front, happily waving their lightstick, he felt more energized just instantly seeing her.

Seonghwa:

Poor boy has been missing you lately and invited you to one of their concerts in the city. However, you used the ‘I have to shoot for my first cf tomorrow’ excuse. Understanding the situation, Seonghwa dreaded upon knowing he has two more months until he could see you again.

But the boys kept it a secret from him that you would be attending their concert. And when the day finally came, they constantly teased him when he finally saw you amongst the crowd, holding up a slogan with his name on it. As the concert progressed, he kept going over to where you are seated.

Yunho:

Yunho wondered how is he going to survive seven months of not seeing his girlfriend who is still in his home country promoting their new comeback song? He hated it everytime your schedules don’t overlap with his, he would sometimes beg their staffs to go and work for your agency part time and make their schedules overlap so that he could see you in the dressing rooms and backstage.

The first two months Yunho managed to keep himself sane by calling and texting you whenever he can. But by the third, fourth and fifth month, he felt like a lost puppy wanting to go back to its owner. The calls and texts increased and decreased over time, but it wasn’t enough for him.

Unknown to him on the sixth month, the boys stood in one line, going one after another in taking their time to thank the people in their lives. When it came to Yunho, the crowd in a particular area started becoming loud and kept pointing at a certain person, Yunho squinting his eyes and then widening as you raised your hand and waved at him. It was enough for Yunho to bawl his eyes out that night.

Yeosang:

Yeosang was never demanding of you, if things happened, then it happens by fate. But it just so happens that he was having an Asia tour while you were on a European tour. For a surprise segment, the other members would contact a person whom they really want to see. And that’s how the boys got you on a plane boarding back to South Korea.

The surprised look on his face was priceless upon seeing face to face on stage. It was a dream come true for almost three months of not seeing and being with you.

San:

He tried his best to look happy for the fans, he really did. But inside, he was upset that you couldn’t come and watch his concert.

“Just a few more song and the show will end, can you still keep up?” Hongjoong asked and San nodded his head, not letting his sadness take over him. There was a long and dark pause before the next song plays. And that is the moment you took your opportunity to shout “Choi San”. The crowd cheered upon hearing your voice, that alone made him hyped up as if the concert just started.

Mingi:

He felt like the world is against him seeing you. First, sasaengs kept calling him and intercepting his calls and second, everytime he asks you to come and watch his show, you would be busy with something else.

So when you surprised him by showing up at one of their concerts on the front row, he had to take a double take on you. Was his eyes deceiving him? Is that really his s/o? or does she just look like his s/o? The boys would scold him for not identifying his s/o with just one look and he’d happily run over to where you are.

Wooyoung:

He pretended to be fine when he’s not, his s/o, who he has not seen for half a year, dreadfully missing his s/o. The boys did everything to cheer him up, from cracking up jokes with the fans to doing random requests to get the fans hyped. When the VCR played, he took his five minute break to go backstage and drink water. However, he stopped on his tracks and ran over to you as soon as he saw you. Chuckling at how you would nag him to change his clothes or else his sweat would get onto your clothes.

Jongho:

Before he left for tour, he had a disagreement with his s/o which lead into an arguement until he left the country with no making up for you. During the days and nights of being thousands of miles away from you, he felt guilty and wanted to go back and say sorry. But he couldn’t as you would never answer his calls or texts.

So when he spotted among the crowd on top of the seats, he immediately got off the stage and went over to where you are seated before tackling you into a bone crushing hug.

omg omg i just saw this trend going around and I thought that having an ateez reaction to it would be amazing! could you please do a reaction to ateez being in a very important zoom meeting and their significant other walking in on them semi naked? thank you!

❥ kim hongjoong

“well if we’re gonna do it that way, i think we should just-“

the door squeaking open causes hongjoong’s words to die in his throat, looking up at you and his eyes widening at you standing there in a towel. you wince and mouth an apology, jumping over the bed so you don’t walk into the view of the camera as you make your way to the shared closet.

he had warned you he was gonna be on a video call today with the producers, probably to avoid a situation like this. but you’d been in the shower for nearly an hour and thought for sure he’d be done; it’s also far too cold in the air conditioned house to just stay in your towel.

so you creep around the room quietly and carefully, covered up securely as you fish through your drawers for sweatpants and your boyfriend’s shirt. but before you can even move your towel off an inch, hongjoong lowers his laptop and shouts your name.

“what!” you squeal, jumping in surprise. and thank god he moved his camera down and turned his mic off because your towel slips from your hand and falls at your feet. a laugh threatens to bubble out of your mouth when you see the expression on hongjoong’s face, a mix of amusement and anger that you know all too well.

“the fucking mirror, y/n!”

❥ park seonghwa

you were rushing around the bathroom trying to get ready for your lunch date, your phone pinging with your friend’s demand to get downstairs before they come up and drag you out by your hair. with it still wet from the shower, you throw on your shorts and bra before realizing stupid you had forgotten to bring in a shirt.

the same way you forgot that seonghwa had a scheduled zoom call today with the members and their company, everyone on a break visiting their families but trying to get everything settled for the next comeback. so when you barged in, lace pink bra and all, you couldn’t help the tiny squeal that left your mouth when you took note of the seonghwa’s back to you and the computer screen just a few feet away.

your boyfriend turned around at the sound, his eyes widening before he quickly moved to turn off his mic and camera. you don’t even have the time to feel embarrassed, hearing the loud pings from your phone as you jump over the bed and grab a shirt from the closet.

“i’m sorry, i’m sorry, i’m sorry,” you say frantically as you rip your favorite go-to shirt off the hanger. “they’re harassing me to come down and i forgot a shirt and-“

his spins you around so you’re pressed flush against him, the material of his shirt against the bare skin of your stomach and causing you to swallow nervously. you meet his hardened gaze with a soft look, an innocent smile and look in your wide eyes.

“everyone just saw that,” he growls lowly, a smirk fighting at your lips at the possessiveness creeping into your boyfriend’s presence. and usually you love to tease him and poke fun at it but today you just have no time, pressing a kiss to his lips before throwing on your shirt.

“i moved out of the way and you turned off the camera, it’s fine,” you whine, pressing another kiss to his cheek before telling him you’re leaving. but he has other plans, wrapping an arm around your waist before pushing you down on the bed roughy.

“no you’re not.”

❥ jeong yunho

he’d been on this boring call for almost two hours, his shoulders tense and cramping from the amount of time he’s been sitting in this uncomfortable desk chair. it feels as if they’ve been talking about the same thing for the past 20 minutes, mingi having fallen asleep three times in his screen before hongjoong yelled at him and scared the boy awake.

“yunhoooo, are you almost do-“

you walked in expecting to see yunho sprawled out on his bed the way he was when you went to watch tv in the living room, his camera off as he sat atop his bed and rested on the headboard. but he must’ve changed positions at some point, given the way his camera is fully aimed at the door and you’re standing there half naked.

but it was only you and him, what did it matter if you were just in a t-shirt and underwear? yunho sees you in the camera before he registers the sound of your voice, letting out a surprised gasp before blocking your figure.

you hear the unmistakable cackle of wooyoung through the speakers, his teasing voice asking if y/n had joined followed promptly by your embarrassed squeal of an apology. yunho only fights the smile on his face, shaking his head as he insists there’s nothing to see back there.

❥ kang yeosang

your boyfriend had just ended the call and immediately threw himself down on the bed, his face buried in the pillow as embarrassment takes over him. you couldn’t help but laugh and roll your eyes at him, raising an eyebrow because-

“i’m sorry, were you the one just exposed on camera?”

but you suppose it’d been your own fault, forgetting about the early morning call and running back into the room for your lotion that left you staring at the rest of ateez and their crew just in your short robe.

you let out a gasp and jumped out of frame immediately, profusely apologizing as a red-faced yeosang turned his camera off. and then you hadn’t returned until he texted you that it was okay, your clean body still covered in your robe because there was no way you were going back in there.

he says something but the pillows muffle it, your eyes rolling as a huff leaves your mouth and you daringly jump on his back. he makes a pained groan and you giggle, laying down next to him and poking at his pink cheeks.

❥ choi san

san was just as upset as you that he had to spend the night on a zoom call, a designated two hours that could’ve been used for watching a move or two episodes of your new drama. but instead, he was in the living room and you were in your room, watching tv and playing on your phone with a pout on your face.

that was until the exact two hour mark hit, springing up from bed and tiptoeing into the living room. you smiled hearing san laugh at something seonghwa said, his shoulders shaking back and forth; he has so many different laughs but this one is your favorite, right from his gut as he throws his head back and-

“oh, my god, y/n! where are your pants!?”

your eyes widen and an embarrassed laugh leaves your mouth as you jump away, san’s head snapping back and the smile immediately dropping from his face. he narrows his eyes as he takes in your figure, just his oversized sweater covering your body and leaving your legs exposed. you smile innocently at him but he can only shake his head, noting the time of the meeting has overlapped.

he points that out to hongjoong and the boy only lets out a sigh, running his hand through his hair because it’d been impressive enough that all eight of them sat down for this long; but the second the call ends, san jumps up and charges over to you, wrapping his arms around your waist as a squeal leaves your mouth.

“baby, did you really have to do that? they all just saw you.”

you look up at him with a small pout, wrapping your arms around his neck as you pull him down to place a kiss on his lips.

“i’m sorry but i just missed you,” you whine quietly, his heart softening and dimply smile appearing as he drags you over to the couch.

❥ song mingi

mingi only noticed you behind him in nothing but a towel courtesy of san’s high pitched yelp. he threw his hands over his eyes and asked what the hell you were doing, mingi jumping in his chair and shaking his head of drowsiness.

“what?” mingi asked, his deep voice low and full of sleep; this call had been way longer than he anticipated but just as boring as he suspected. this all could’ve been settled in a phone call, he thought, not some long drawn out zoom call.

“not you! y/n!”

mingi’s eyebrows pull together before he hears you plop down on the bed, snapping his head over to see you laid out in your towel. your face is pulled into a grimace and you quietly mouth “sorry,” ripping him right from his tired daze.

he turned off the camera and made his way over to the dresser, throwing a pair of his sweatpants and a shirt at you as he demands for you to put it on.

❥ jung wooyoung

“where’s y/n right now?” hongjoong asked him, completely baffled by the fact you weren’t in his lap right now. it’d been a known fact since you guys started dating that you were inseparable, wooyoung’s lap or shoulder rarely free of you.

“in the shower so if we can speed this up, that’d be-“

his door creaking open causes him to turn around, your hair in a bun with just the bra and underwear you creeped out of the bathroom in; you’d forgotten your brush and this shower would be about 20 minutes longer if you used your fingers to get the knots out.

“oh, my god!” wooyoung squeals, the other’s laughter and shouts muffled when the boy dramatically slams his laptop shut. “what the hell, y/n!”

“i’m sorry, you were facing the other way three seconds ago! and i needed my brush!” you whine, your pink cheeks threatening laughter to bubble out of his chest. he shakes his head as he gets up from his chair, grabbing the brush off your dresser before making his way over to you.

you look at him with a small frown as another apology falls from your lips, his hand moving to your cheek to press a kiss to your lips.

“it’s fine, you got me out of it,” wooyoung says before a smirk crosses his lips as he looks over your body. “now i can join you.”

your eyebrow raises as you look at him, a smirk pulling at your lips before you tongue peeks out. “oh? when did i invite you?”

❥ choi jongho

“i warned you about it and you still managed to come in with the smallest pair of shorts you own. how is that even-“

“don’t remind me!” you whine, burying your face in his chest as your cheeks warm. “i’m so embarrassed.”

jongho laughs against your head, still hearing the screams of san and wooyoung when they noticed you back in the kitchen; they’d never seen you anything but a long dress or jeans, completely thrown off by seeing you in such revealing clothing.

“y/n! you should dress like that more often!” wooyoung teased, his eyebrows wiggling suggestively that caused jongho to roll his eyes and growl a few curses at him. he liked that you only wore those shorts in front of him and when their vacations end, he thinks he’s gonna have to kick wooyoung just a little too roughly in the leg.

reaction: to you falling asleep in front of your work; ateez

req: I feel like it'll overlap with some of the others but their reactions when they catch their s/o just experiencing exhaustion from the amount of work? or like they catch them falling asleep in front of their work ? (requested through private message)

a/n: i hope everyone takes care of yourselves even when working hard <3

Seonghwa

he's going to carry you back to bed and help you change into your pajamas but once you wake up get ready to get nagged at. he was sure he told you many times to not stay up so late and to rest properly if you felt tired, now he's going to start bugging you to go to bed with him when it starts to get too late since you don't listen.

Hongjoong

he wouldn't trust himself to bring you back to bed so when he saw you sleeping at your work desk, he would just put a blanket over your body to make sure you don't catch a cold. he wouldn't necessarily nag at you since he himself is guilty of falling asleep while working sometimes. he gets it

Yunho

you were staying up to the wee hours of the morning to finish up your work and he had went to give you a cup of coffee but you had already fallen asleep on your laptop. he would just sigh and tuck you into bed, making sure to help you pack your bags for the next day. would also make sure to wake you up so you wouldn't be late for work.

Yeosang

definitely the type to take like hundreds of pictures of you sleeping on your papers, that's now wet because of your drool, to tease you for the next week. would help to photocopy and print out your work though, just so you don't have to deal with the floppy wet spot. but would definitely scare you by saying he threw your work away because it was totally soiled and then surprising you with the fresh set he printed.

San

he's going to put a plushie under your head, another plushie in between your arms and a blanket over you along with a bottle of water and snacks if you do somehow wake up. he would also paste a post it that says, "don't overwork yourself! rest well and stay hydrated <3" on your wall. will definitely keep an eye on you for the next few days to make sure you're coping well with your work though

Mingi

when mingi saw you asleep on the dance studio floor, papers with formations mapped out on them all around you, he would help tidy the papers out and sort them according to the timestamps that you had wrote at the top corners. also he would just lie down beside you and stare at you lovingly until he also falls asleep with your hand in his. i see him buying a little gift for you the next day to cheer you on though

Wooyoung

don't come for me but I feel like he's the type of person to not do anything else except turn off the room lights when he sees you asleep in front of your work. he doesn't want to risk waking you up by bringing you back to bed or whatever. but he would definitely shower you with a lot more love the next day, hoping that you could take your mind off work for a little while.

Jongho

you had fallen asleep while mixing paint colours at your work desk which ended up being quite funny to Jongho seeing that you were practically covered in paint. he would definitely take pictures before shaking you gently to wake you up so that you could get cleaned up. in the meanwhile he would ransack your house for some muscle patches because that position you were in was probably not the most comfortable.

How much of INCEPTION and the ATEEZ Stroyline is based/tied to the concept of Nolan’s Inception (2010)

(I won’t be going into the details of the INCEPTION MV because I believe it must be analyzed with the THANXX MV and Diary film altogether, so I won’t touch on it here!)

okay after years of rolling my eyes everytime someone mentioned Inception in film school I went back and rewatched it just for the sake of this post so you all better not let this flop!

1. What is the concept of Inception?

First of all, for those who have never seen it, Inception takes place in a reality in which people can enter their own and other people’s dreams. They create the world within dreams at will and make them so they can suit their every need and desire. The reasons why they use them in the movie aren’t relevant, but the concept is.

In the movie is explained how people prefer the world in the dreams so much that they spend so much time in them they lose track of what is real and what is not. The dream becomes their reality.

The people in the dream can dream in within dreams, which is the concept of this ATEEZ comeback “Dream In Dream”, these are called levels. The deeper you go in the dream (the more levels you create) the slower the time passes. You could spend decades and grow old inside those dreams but when you wake up, it might have just been days, maybe just hours in real life. This could be related to ATEEZ’s concept of “always staying young” I don’t know if this could be the case, but I believe this different levels might also be the “parallel universes” of the ATEEZ Storyline, but I hope that’s not the case because I personally don’t like this theory.

I believe there are multiple ATEEZ MVs that fall under this Inception concept, and that each one is a different level, but I’ll get into that later in the post.

Here is a shot of Inception of a group of people sharing a dream and the INCEPTION promotional teasers

2. The timer // hourglass

When a person or a group of people (the case in both the movie and the ATEEZ storyline) enter a dream, they set a timer to wake them up. Once it does, no matter how many levels deep you are in a dream, it will wake you up. I think this might be tied to the hourglass, and how when its sand goes upwards might represent the waking up and the oportunity to submerge in a dream yet again. This could make sense in the Diary Film when Hongjoong turns the hourglass around, since is tied to the INCEPTION MV.

3. The roles

In the world of the movie you need a group of people with special roles to create the perfect dream, and I believe each ATEEZ member might have one. It’s been made clear that there are two groups in the INCEPTION MV.

There is Yeosang, San and Wooyoung, who carry a glass ball that is also seen in the ILLUSION MV.

meanwhile, the rest of the members have the spinning tracticoid from the movie itself, even if it’s hard to appreciate

Now, what the hell is a spinning tracticoid. In the movie, each person has a totem, a personal object that belongs to them and them only, and this is the protagonist’s

I’ll get to what a totem is and how it’s important for ATEEZ’s storyline in the next point. Meanwhile, back to the roles. I mentioned the two different groups because I believe Yeosang, Wooyoung and San might be architects.

In the world of the movie, architects design the world of the dream, even if is not their own dream, they can create it. This could explain the ball, since I always saw it as some kind of “holding the world” metaphor. Also it made me think of that shot in ILLUSION where Wooyoung changes the world with a simple movement of his hand

there are also forgers, people who can take the appearence of other people inside dreams with the intention of manipulating the subject of the dream by making them believe they are said person. This might be a reach, but I’ve always found it weird that when San stares at his own reflection in the Say My Name MV, he sees Yeosang

could Yeosang be the forger? Maybe San? Wooyoung looks startled when he sees HALAteez Yeosang in front of him, so he might have come to the realization that he’s not the person he was staring at?

If San is an architetc that would explain why all the objects in the Say My Name museum scene were created the day he was born (this is a clue confirmed by Wooyoung btw)

also, (and this is another reach) there are chemists in charge of creating sedatives that are strong enough to make deep dreams possible. In the movie, creating more than two levels of a dream is already hard, so they need do drink these sedatives to be able to fall into these deep levels, so it made me think about the toast

Could the content of the glasses be the sedative? Are ATEEZ falling into another dream? The color shceme seem to match, but as I said, a reach

3. The totems

As I mentioned before, every person has a totem. These are small objects that help the people that sumberge into dreams to remind themselves that they are still sleeping (or make sure they are actually awake), so they won’t get them consfused with reality and get lost in the dream.

Now, every ATEEZ member has their own object. I mentioned this briefly on my post about FEVER being tied to Say My Name, but long story short, each member has a personal object. They’ve had them since HALA HALA/SMN, but they became more relevant in the ANSWER photoshoot.

Hongjoon’s... weird thing

Seonghwa didn’t have an object in the HALA HALA era, and unlike the rest of the members, he got no object on his plate during ANSWER, because of course Seonghwa is special

Yunho is a special case too, because he used to have the walkie-talkie during HALA HALA, but then moved to the compass

Yeosang actually owns the compass during HALA HALA, but then moves onto a pocket watch

San has his vintage binoculars

Mingi keeps his walkie-talkie

Wooyoung, who previously had nothing during HALA HALA, shows up owning no less than the hourglass, go big or go home I guess. However it’s important to note that the hourglass isn’t in the plate the teaser picture

finally Jongho, who didn’t own anyhting either during HALA HALA has a telescope

Now, I don’t know if this is relevant, but in the wolrd of the movie, no one should touch your totem, because then they would be aware of it’s weight and shape and could create an exact replica to convince you that you are awake when you are still dreaming, so I wonder if the compass who changes owners so frequently has something to do with that

4. What MVs are related to the Inception concept?

As I’ve said and we already knew, the concept is about dreaming inside dreams, or more simply put, sleeping. So what MVs have we seen with ATEEZ sleeping that have long been theorized to not be “real”? WAVE and ILLUSION (of course UTOPIA too) and also, apparently, WONDERLAND.

ILLUSION and WAVE are easy to tell here, and I believe these two MVs are actually dream levels. Actually I’m almost sure ILLUSION is a dream withing WAVE. Look at these shots and compare them to the INCEPTION ones

also, at the beginning of the WAVE MV, all members are sleeping and just waking up. I’m almost certain ILLUSION takes place inside of Seonghwa’s mind, and that’s because he’s the first one to open his eyes at the end of ILLUSION and beginning of WAVE. Also Seonghwa has been tied to dreams and dreaming for a really long time.

I believe they are waking up from ILLUSION into WAVE, which I believe is another dream inside a dream, from which other MV I’m not sure. It’s hard to to put the dream levels in order without all the clues. Also, in the movie there is a place called limbo which I will talk about later, but in the movie they say this about it “[...] when we wound up in the shore of our subsconcious we lost sight of what was real” which makes me think of WAVE

Now, I wouldn’t have tied WONDERLAND to the Inception concept if it wasn’t for the various, obvious visual references to it, such as

the stairs or paradoxes

the elevator

also that scene where one of the architects bends the reality of adream over itself reminds me in cocnept of the WONDELRAND stickers, the overlapping worlds

5. Limbo

When you are far too deep in a dream and try to wake up, you might end in the limbo, which an uncunstructed dream space full of nothingness except fot the remain consciousness of the person whose dream belongs to. That might be the dark place seen in the Diary Film and the end of INCEPTION, but I cna’t say so yet

Yeosang had been back on the crew for a few months now and things were almost normal but Jangmi still wouldn’t even look at him and she panicked if he got too close to Mingi. She was the last one left who still didn’t trust him and while he completely understood, it hurt like hell. Seeing her carrying Seonghwa’s child and engaged to Mingi felt like he had been completely left behind. He didn’t need her to love him, he just wanted her back in his life - even as a friend.

“Jangmi?” Yeosang approached her as they finally neared the port. She jumped, turning to face him with wide eyes. “How many times do I need to apologize? It’s been eight months now. How do I get you to trust me again?” He took her hands in his and looked into her eyes as they filled with tears.

“You can’t. You killed him.” Jangmi choked on her words, trying to find a way to explain how broken it had made her for so long. “You killed the father of my child and I can never forgive you for that. I can’t trust you. Not after you tore my heart in two. I loved him. I was ready to choose and you killed him.”

“What about Mingi? Don’t you love him?” Yeosang stepped closer.

Her eyebrows knitted together and her jaw clenched. “Of course I do. I love Mingi with my whole heart. But that doesn’t mean I can’t miss my first love.” She shook her head and started past him.

“Wait!” Yeosang grabbed her by the arm and she gasped. “Please just talk to me. Let me back into your life. I won’t hurt anyone. I promise.” Jangmi didn’t answer, wrenching her arm free and walking over to Mingi and Hongjoong who were discussing how to go about docking in the capital without getting Jongho killed.

A few hours later, they found themselves on solid ground, looking for a place where Mingi and Jangmi could get married and a place where she could have the baby.

“It’s getting dark.” Wooyoung cleared his throat. “How about we head back to the ship for the night and look again in the morning? Besides, it’s raining.” He shivered as the rain began to soak through his clothes. “Jangmi’ll still be pregnant tomorrow, right?”

“He’s right.” Nozomi shook her head. “We shouldn’t get caught in the rain. Especially not you.” She held Jangmi’s shoulder. “You’re too vulnerable. The baby-”

“Choi Jongho.” A voice interrupted Nozomi and the whole group grew tense, looking around for the source. This couldn’t be good. The boys began to draw their swords, Nozomi drawing a knife and moving closer to Hongjoong as Mingi stepped in front of Jangmi. “You’re either brave or stupid to come here. I’m wondering... Which one are you?”

Several guards came into view. They were definitely outnumbered. “I’m desperate and brave,” Jongho answered, eyes narrowing. “One of our own is due to give birth any day now and we need to get her and our first mate married before the child arrives. This was the closest port.”

“If you turn yourselves in, we’ll make sure the woman and child are well taken care of.” The guard looked them over curiously. “Only Jongho will hang for his crimes. The rest of you will be imprisoned for piracy.”

“No deal.” Hongjoong shook his head. “Now, stay out of our way. We just need to get a few things taken care of and you’ll never see us again.” The crew’s well-being was his top priority. Another death wasn’t in the cards. And he’d forge the marriage papers if he had to. While Nozomi wasn’t a real doctor, she could probably deliver the child on the ship in case of an emergency.

“I’m afraid we can’t allow pirates to run rampant in our city. Especially when one killed the king.” The guard frowned, drawing his sword. “Don’t make me kill anyone in front of a pregnant woman.”

“Then don’t.” Hongjoong raised his voice. “Just leave us alone.”

Almost as if on cue, Jangmi let out a pained cry and began to wobble. It was enough to distract the crew, everyone looking at her worriedly as Mingi held her and tried to get her to tell him what was happening. “She’s going into labor. Think fast.” The guard grabbed Jongho, holding a sword to his throat and staring everyone down.

“Just take me and leave them.” Jongho gulped, locking eyes with Hongjoong. “Leave them be.”

“No.” Hongjoong growled. “I’m not losing you, too!” He swung at a guard and a fully-fledged fight broke out. Mingi had to leave Jangmi to fight but they were being backed up, corralled through a gate into the palace courtyard. She was gasping for air, swaying uneasily while trying to keep up and stay out of the way. She wanted to fight but she was so tired and in so much pain.

“Oh my god.” She fell over, holding onto a column to try and steady herself. “Mingi-” She was trying to hold back tears as the contractions got more and more painful much more quickly than she had expected. They were basically constant at this point and she was sinking to the ground.

“Can you stop trying to kill us for two minutes?” Mingi slashed down a guard as more came charging out at them. “My fiancee is in labor!” He turned to help her but a guard already had her by the arm as she broke into sobs. “Let her go.” His heart stopped and he froze to his spot.

The sounds of swords clashing and the cries of pain on both sides became background noise as he focused in on Jangmi’s look of terror. The same one she wore so many months ago when Seonghwa was being attacked by the wyvern. “Put down your weapons and we’ll get her help.”

“Put down your weapons.” A deep voice called and all the guards stood down so the boys and Nozomi all did the same. “Brother��” The king came to stand face to face with Jongho. They were almost identical. “Why don’t we get that woman to my private doctor?”

“No.” Jangmi gasped in pain. “Not before I’m married. I can’t- I won’t have a child without a name…”

“I’m the king. If I say you’re married, you’re married.” The young king looked at a guard. “Get me some parchment and a quill. I’ll create their marriage document myself.” He looked Jangmi over curiously. “Although, I will need to know who the father is.”

“I am.”

“He’s dead,” Jangmi answered, her voice overlapping with Mingi’s as they answered at the same time. The king raised an eyebrow and Mingi sighed heavily.

“A widow? Your child has a name, then.”

“No. We never married.” Jangmi panted and let out another pained cry, holding her belly as she grew weaker and weaker by the second.

“Get her to that doctor. Now.” Mingi moved to grab Jangmi back from the guard but the king stepped between the two.

“Don’t give me orders, boy. You aren’t even the father.” He was purposefully drawing it out, getting a kick out of the pain he was causing everyone. The physical pain of those wounded, the worry of the crew, the intense labor pains Jangmi was feeling. “You aren’t the father. You aren’t her husband. You’re nothing.” The king sneered. “Tell me, is this marriage for love or convenience?”

“Love,” Mingi answered without hesitation. Jangmi’s lips trembled before parting to let out a scream louder than anyone was prepared for. Even the king jumped. “Please. Just help her.”

The guard was back, holding a box with all the stationary the king would need. The king took the box and walked away wordlessly. The guards pushed the group to follow him, not bothering to let anyone carry Jangmi despite how desperate she seemed to lay down. They entered a building. The crew was stopped in the throne room as Jangmi was taken away down a long corridor and through a door.

“The child will be taken care of and you will all be hanged.” The king sat on his throne, looking over the crew. “No… I think you should burn.”

“What?” Jongho choked, shaking his head. “Brother, you can’t-”

“I can do whatever I want!” He roared. “You’re pirates, nobodies. I can execute you all and no one will ever shed a tear. I’ll send the child to an orphanage. After all, the woman is a pirate and she should die as one.”

“No!” Mingi seemed to lose it and he pulled out his sword, beginning to cut down the guards as if it were second nature. The crew joined him, knowing it was their best chance at survival. They would either save themselves or die trying.

“It’s no use killing my guards.” The king laughed, completely unhinged, finding pleasure in how desperate they were to fight back. “I have more men than you could-”

Jongho charged right up to his brother and punched him, pressing his blade against the king’s neck. “Do they know the truth, brother? Do they know it was you who killed our father?” He muttered, the threat of a violent death in every word.

“No.”

“Tell them!”

“No!”

Jongho growled and began digging the blade deeper so he drew blood. “Tell them!”

“Fine!” The king was shaking. “I killed my father!” The guards all froze and stared at him. “It was me, not Jongho. I wanted the throne so I asked him to kill our father and promised him a title but when he refused, I took matters into my own hands. I framed him for the death of the king.”

“Your majesty…” The head guard’s eyes widened. “Is this true?”

“Yes.”

“Now you know who your king is. Who’s next in line if you die, brother? You have no heirs.” Jongho dug the blade in even deeper. “Who’d take the throne then?

“My wife.” The king choked out, beginning to taste his own blood.

“Someone bring the queen. Now!” Jongho barked. The queen arrived about ten minutes later, having been asleep and needing to dress presentably. “Now, tell your wife what you told the guards.”

“I killed my father. It was me. I framed Jongho.” The king was crying now, terrified as the reality of his coming death sank in. “Jongho is only guilty of turning to piracy to stay alive.”

“If I kill my brother, you become the sole ruler of Joseon.” Jongho’s lips twitched. His brother’s wife had always favored Jongho, anyway. “You’d have the power to pardon us and save us all. All we want is to have the first mate married to a woman who is part of our crew and is currently giving birth and to have her and the child healthily and safely returned to us.”

“That’s all?” The queen raised an eyebrow. “No titles or land?”

“No.” Jongho shook his head. “Just a wedding and child and the assurance that none of us will have warrants on our heads.” The queen stared her husband in the eyes and shook her head in disapproval.

“Well, the sentence for killing the king is death. I suppose you’d simply be carrying out the law and disposing of the most wanted criminal in Joseon.” The queen looked away. “You have my word. Sanctuary in all of Joseon, the protection of the throne, and a marriage contract. Effective immediately.”

The king opened his mouth to beg for his life but he never uttered a word, his head rolling to the queen’s feet. The queen had to hold back the urge to vomit or cry but she slowly made her way to the throne and stood in front of it. “Guards, clean up this mess.” She looked over the disheveled crew. “Now, let’s see to your wounds and that wedding, yes?” Without another word, she led them down the hall where Jangmi had disappeared, the screams of pain becoming louder and louder as they neared the end of the hall.
