Summary
Leading a group of seven grown men with the collective brain cells of a potato had always been an uphill battle. Sharing a dorm with them? That was how Kim Hongjoong discovered the true meaning of chaos, despair, and existential crisis usually all before breakfast.
There were days he questioned everything: his career, his sanity, and the mysterious glitter that kept reappearing no matter how many times he vacuumed. But it was too late for regrets. He was the captain of this ship and it was one that regularly caught fire, figuratively and, on at least two occasions, literally.
And thus, out of necessity (and emotional self-defense), the ATEEZ Dorm Rules were born. Not as guidelines for peace, but as desperate attempts to prevent another kitchen explosion, emotional meltdown, or unplanned group TikTok at 2 a.m.
History would call them rules.
Hongjoong called them survival tactics.
