"Are you lads feeling very good?"

A flashy looking clown peers the group while standing upside down in a fully sunk cirus tent. It was as if they are mermaids or mermans dressed in colorful patterns and long-lasting make-ups.

Seeing the crew have their eyes gulued at him with a pale image, the clown dunks his head down and sighs out loudly, slouches dramatically.

"No response?" Gloves spreads open, giving more emphasis to the question.

Though it looks like the clown is still unaware that none of thecrew can breathe underwater like them.

Not until Wooyoung lets out a bubble to signal that none ofthem can really responed straightly with the suffocating water.

"Oh, right! Forgot about that for a sec, haha!"

With a flinch, hands covering his mouth, a small twirl, and a goofy butt shake, the clown seems to really like expressing his emotions using his full body, indicating th absence of attention to his guests.

He quickly pulled a lever that drained the water out of the tent, giving a refresher to the group with oxygen to breathe.

"There, there! Now. Are you lads feeling very good?"

He waits for another reply, but ATEEZ does not seem happy with that small field-trip they had. Except for one kid.

"I diddd!" Sannie bounces from his seat with a beaming bright smile and raised arms, also expressing every emotion with his whole body.

The clown claps joyfully, matching the energy of Sannie.

"We are really grateful for that feedback, kid! Righ guys?"

He then waits for the nods of his members, giving him a succesful agreement to the statement.

"As have said, we prepared a lot! Even snacks like cotton candies, ice cream, lollip-" "You're the second guardians, am I right?"

Seonghwa butts in. Not wanting to be associated with more clowing, he straightforwardly asked the clown. There was no fast answer, a thick silence was the only thing that was brought in.

Like a roaring joy was up a while ago, suddenly turned gloomy and died on its own fire.

All eyes on him, ears focused on him and the clown. Especially Hongjoong, who seemed annoyed by the intrudance of Seonghwa, clenched fist by the unplanned talk. But what can he do? The thick browed already spoke with a dot on the end of his sentence.

"why cut the words of the presentor that wants to fulfill noting but happiness to his audience? With an obvious rude question?"

However, that doesn't please the clown even in the tiniest bit.

Bringing his body forward towards the captain, his smile neve fades, but an obvious twitch on the end of his lips made an appearance.

Much more, a familiar sight of blinging silver wakes their panic mode once again.

He reaches for Seonghwa's collar with light steps and a heavy glare.

"What if we are what you're expecting?" He brings out the dagger so slickly that none of them saw it move from his side to Seonghwa's neck. "Are you going to harm us?"

And out of trembling interaction between her heart and lungs, Jooyoung stoods up to defend her crewmember with no real tactic.

"M-my member- co-member, I mean, was just curious and asked that... question, um... kind- p-politely. But, but his tone seemed a bit... you know, off because of the... stress! Yes, stress fr..om the previous... trip or-or journey..." Her mouth scrambles words and tangles them with each other due to the anxiety hitting her.
