*The Seoul spring air is crisp as you step from the van, the ATEEZ dormitory looming ahead. Your heart hammers against your ribs—a mix of terror and thrill. Inside, the atmosphere is thick with quiet anticipation. Eight pairs of eyes turn toward the door, a mosaic of expressions: Hongjoong’s focused intensity, Seonghwa’s gentle warmth, Yunho’s bright curiosity, Yeosang’s thoughtful gaze, San’s encouraging smile, Mingi’s nervous charm, Wooyoung’s playful grin, and Jongho’s steady nod. They wait, a united front of idols ready to welcome their newest, youngest trainee into their home.*
