Ateez are a mixed rank group, while on kingdom, Yeosang is the victim of one to many comments.

Alphas
Hongjoong
San
Jongho

Beta
Mingi
Yunho

Omegas
Seonghwa
Wooyoung
Yeosang

It was strange to the rest of the world, a group of mixed ranked wolves have become extremely popular, it goes against every countries morals and traditions, they didn't like it.

Omegas should not have an opportunity of spotlight.
Alphas should be worshipped.
Betas should hide away.

A reoccurring routine for the entire planet earth. A shift on the normal has set fire to the ideas of mixed ranked work. The young generations preaching for it. The elder generation wanting to cancel the negative influence on the pups.

It disrupted the norm and now face the consequences.

" Good news boys, you've been asked to partake in kingdom" their manager said receiving cheers from the eight men.
"However, you also have a comeback then" he added and got pitiful groans.

"Don't worry we'll help you every step of the way" the manager ended and the group nodded before the taller man left the dorm.

"Hongjoong hyung do you think we'll be okay?" San asked and Hongjoong sighed.
"I don't know, well just have to try our best. I don't want anyone getting hurt ok?" The head alpha ordered and the group nodded.

They had agreed a year prior to become a pack appointing their leader to be the head alpha. At first it was strange and hard to get used to but they pulled through and managed to become comfortable with one another. None of them have mated with each other leaving for it to happen naturally or if they find someone outside the pack.

Yeosang was nervous, it wasn't wrong for him to feel this way it just made him uncomfortable a little, as an omega he always felt inferior to his fellow band members due to their higher ranks or Seniority. He was a shy being so the over powering behaviour of his members was something he had struggled to come to terms with.

He had grown comfortable with only a few members even after the three years they've worked together, wooyoung being the first because of his clingy nature, jongho because of his caring nature and seonghwa because he oozes natural mom.

So what was even worse was when they were filming kingdom, he had noticed in the first few episodes he got little to no screen time but that wasn't what bothered him, what made him sink into his seat with disgust was the amount of comments the other groups made of him. It wasn't even saying he was a bad dancer but rather how he was a bad omega.

He knew the common omegas are like wooyoung and seonghwa. Feminine, kind and easily manipulated. He however was an independent omega who had muscles and was aware of his surroundings despite him having a shy personality. He was kind but acted too kind which was undesirable. The next comments were about how he was only good for his face. It continued on to the point Yeosang felt uncomfortable being around anyone, he knew his members had seen those comments due to their more nurturing approach to him.he liked it but didn't like the situation that caused it and with his comfort place working on a drama with seonghwa, San and Yunho, just made things worse.

The brute alpha who was more maknae than he showed, had a different personality on screen, a personality Yeosang found adorable. It was a change and helped him relax despite the younger being an alpha. Seonghwa was also different, usually he was very motherly and sweet but on screen he held a cold front something Yeosang had only seen once when Hongjoong was in the studio for six days straight.

Everyone knew the two were fucking, they'd seen the marks on seonghwa and heard the act through the walls, which helped keep the group together. It was just worrisome that his hyung had that face for a screen. It seemed too intrusive into their personal lives, seemed awfully similar to what they went through with their group.

Yeosang even knew that seonghwa had been trying to coax Jim into cooking lessons with him but Yeosang didn't want to learn too cool which only strengthened the truth of those comments but he didn't cry and sob like a baby, he didn't change himself to appease them, his members loved him all the same and that's all that matter to him, hell even his parents had started warming up to his wishes having always wanted him to stay pretty and cute.

As he continued to watch the episodes of kingdom he noticed more and more difference in screen time and acting of the other groups. He was glad to find that stray kids also were mixed rank having smelled at least three omegas when they passed each other in the hallways during their joint performance, but they were on heavy suppressants unlike he and his members were.

The lack of sleep drilled into their minds what it was like to be overworked, despite having many days off during the process of filming everything. Their comeback made the comments even worse, he had seen them plenty of times over the years that their ranks had been exposed by a saesang fan.

The difference between their darker concept of fireworks and the shifted Japanese single made things unbearable. He couldn't handle it anymore and he could see the other members getting increasingly stressed and frustrated leading to many arguments about what they should do. The staff had tried to fight it off but the over whelming number just kept coming, thousands of accounts many of which had been recreated when they had been deleted.

He was suffocating in his mind but was still determined to ignore everything, eager to prove to them he could get a lover just the way he was and that omegas shouldn't be pushed to a stereotype because just as there are stereotypes for straight people, it doesn't mean every heterosexual or homosexual was exactly like that. He just needed to strengthen his mind and strengthen his trust with his group. Otherwise he'd crumble under the pressure and do something he regrets.
