this is the episode that really got me to appreciate the boys on a deeper level. this reminds us that they are still people who are trying to overcome their own struggles, so seeing them grow through the years really makes me proud ♡
HONGJOONG has always taken it upon himself to stand as their rock, and take care of his brothers as the leader. there have also been times when he felt as though he's fallen short, but i appreciate how the boys continue to thank and motivate him for doing his best.
there are times when hongjoong jokingly complains about them being a mess, but you can still clearly see how much he loves and appreciates his brothers with the way he treats them, and how his brothers love and appreciate him back.
SEONGHWA has always been caring around the members, making sure that they're doing alright. it warms my heart knowing that at times when he's the one in need of love and support, the others don't even hesitate to be there for him and do everything they can to help their hyung ♡
YEOSANG never really was the showy type. he's always made it clear how he struggles to express himself & often just acts cool around the others, so seeing him declare this in front of his brothers so openly for everyone to hear really warmed my heart. he really cares for ateez ♡
SAN wasn't always so confident in himself. he had to slowly build himself up to become the strong and talented man he is now. it gives me so much joy knowing that ateez has been with him all throughout, guiding and supporting him. they're not just friends, they're family ♡
MINGI is always so full of joy & cuteness, yet also laden with so much strength & power on stage. this showed me how he also has his own insecurities & that there are many more sides to him we haven't seen. i'm happy that ateez gives him the recognition & acceptance he deserves.
JONGHO has always been wiser beyond his years, but seeing how he still looks up to his hyungs shows me how humbled he is as a person - knowing that he still has more opportunities to grow and mature.
the fact that he wants to grow and mature with his brothers just shows how much respect and appreciation he has for them all. ateez really means a lot to these boys and it shows ♡
YUNHO's confession was very lighthearted, but it described exactly how we've come to know him. people just gravitate towards him almost on instinct because he radiates so much positivity, it's contagious. these precious boys really do deserve the world.
adding his confession to mingi, this scene was funny yet wholesome to me. i really appreciate how their friendship grew from knowing each other pre trainee days, to meeting again during auditions, and finally debuting together under the same group they now call home ♡
WOOYOUNG is always loud and excited. his energy never fails to light up the room. i know he's often this big bundle of joy we all find comfort in, but he's also this big, sensitive softie who deserves all the love in the world 
protect him at all costs.
