Relationship with NCT Dream
Ā½ of the best friend crew
honestly at the beginning, mark and aria werenāt very close, having only really seen each other in passing or with johnny
but after being dropped into training together the two quickly became fast friends, and now theyāre borderline inseparable
you thought you knew pain? watch ariaās reaction to markās graduation from dream :)
markās the reason why aria felt confident enough to pitch some of her lyric ideas to the team, after staying up until 4am to help her make some edits so she was as confident as possible
kinda just, rests his head on her shoulder? and wraps his arms around her waist when heās tired
mari being confused in foreigner: ???
aria said once in a vlive that she finds mark really comforting to be around - when she feels stressed or worried about something sheāll go to markās room and just sit on his bed for a while
aria is so close with his parents - āahh, howās my favourite childā āiām doing great mom.ā āno not you, howās aria?ā āwh-hu-MOM?ā
youād swear sometimes mark is younger than her, considering the pout he puts on and how much he whines when theyāre not on the same team together for promotions
mark big protecc boi but also little small cuddly boi
theyāre so soft for each other ( ā„Ļā„ )
in one of the fancams for markās solo stage during superm, someone zoomed into aria singing along with him in the wings and dancing to herself with the Proudest Smileā¢
heās! so! proud! of! her! constantly! she could be walking and heād be like āomg get itā
when aria refuses to get up and make herself food (this happens way too often, she just gets into the groove of her work and doesnāt want to move) mark gets her to by threatening to do it himself
consistently caught by czennies just standing behind her and holding her hand in crowded areas - airports, waiting rooms, etc.
mark and aria were standing off to one side as the mc explained the rules of the game they were about to be playing. mark looked totally confused, and elbowed aria in her side before looking down and mouthing āwhat?ā to her. aria opened her mouth, before closing it and looking down at the ground, muttering to herself, āź²°ķ©ā¦ ēµåā¦.. le chĆ©ileā¦. leā¦ le.. oh oh - combined! we have to put them together, markie.āand thus, a new confusion meme was born
renjun and aria room together while sheās promoting with dream
they were so awkward around each other at the beginning :(
only really spoke in passing, or when they had to
it was renjun that broke the ice at first, asking if she wanted to go shopping for the dorm together
āno aria, we canāt get more ice-cream weāre all supposed to be on diets.āĀ ābutĀ ļ½”ļ¾ļ½„ (>ļ¹<) ļ½„ļ¾ļ½” pleaseā
heās lowkey soft for her but heād rather throw himself off the roof then tell her that
he started teaching her how to properly play once he found her messing around on a keyboard in the studio one day
they actually argue quite a bit
not about big things, but about smaller things that push each other over the edge because of stress
the first time he yelled at her, aria spent the night in hyuckās roomĀ
hyuck yelled at renjun for making her cryĀ
now theyāre probably the best pairing for talking through their emotions instead of blowing up on each other
theyāre both quite opinionated people, and theyāve learnt to navigate that well so fights donāt happen as often
does that stop renjun from teasing aria an within an inch of her life? absolutely not
āiāll kill youāĀ ācan you, reach?āĀ āLISTEN HERE-ā
he acts like heās 10ft tall, excuse you sir you are barely 5ā²6ā³
renjun was her mandarin teacher for a while, but then kun kindly told her that herĀ āintroductionā was actually calling herself an idiotĀ
aria has a bad problem with saesangs go away bitches and renjun is iconic for going off on them for her because she doesnāt like to make a big deal out of it allĀ
he gets so angry on her behalf
that was actually a topic of one of their biggest arguments smh
aria was leaning on a pile of books to prop herself up as she leant forwards to try and hang a string of lights on her bedroom wall. renjun walked in, and immediately came to her aid, speaking with a teasing tone. āneed a hand?āĀ
aria, without ceremony just elbowed him in the stomach and used his then folded up figure to push herself up higher.Ā āyes, thank you!ā
she got hate for that one, but it was all in good fun and renjun was laughing after it
aria is his princess and everyone else can fight him
like theyāre both doyoungās children, but if it comes down to it he will lay down his life for her
and not even in a romantic way, just aĀ āyouāre too precious i have to protect youā kind of way
czennies thought he was in love with her for the entirety of nct 2018 promotions
this boy was hanging off of her at any given second, and there was an edited video of jenoĀ āglaringā at lucasā back when the taller boy walked away after hugging aria
it was faked, stan twt needs to chill out
heās basically her big brother? but theyāre the same age - its a weird dynamic but they make it work
theyāre so LOUD together
not chaotic, but he makes her laugh so hardĀ
vlive 191030:Ā ānono-ah makes my cheeks hurt so i canāt spend too long around him. my sides hurt too ~Ā ā”(ļ½”- Ļ -)ā
any and all fanfictions written about the two are definitely either coffee shop, university or library AUs
this man walks like a bodyguard around her - boy got the arm over the shoulder, tucked her head into him, covering her face, its a whole ordeal
dispatch released some pictures of aria one day and accidentally blurred out jenoās face because they thought he was her bodyguardĀ
is so. so mindful of how long aria spends in the training rooms
like, yes everyone else expects her home before midnight (long story)
but jeno actively makes sure to ask people what time she left the dorm at, and texts her to remind her to take water breaks and to come home at a good time so she can sleepĀ
these two are the creators of so many iconic vlives - they have a bad habit of going live at 1 or 2 in the morning, just doing random things
āhi hi! so, nono and i- jeno stop it, stop it! - nono and i are walking down to the park to go feed the birds - yes weāre going to feed the bird- no! we are not going to feed the ducks, bread can kill the ducks! why did you bring brea-ā
jeno pulled the camera from ariaās hands.Ā āari and i,ā he looked at her purposefully,Ā āare going back to the dorms because someone forgot to bring the bird seed, and apparently we canāt give bread to ducks anymore.ā
*sounds of aria intermittently hitting and scolding jeno ensue*
ā£ DONGHYUCK ā¾ ARICHAN
the other half of the best friend crew
absolute heathens to be around when they are together
donghyuck is the person aria is closest to, and someone sheād call her best friend (only when she was sure he wouldnāt hear her)
she calls him āthe demon child i canāt get rid ofā but will, and has definitely pouted when he ignored her for too long
generally aria is a pretty soft spoken person, but not with hyuck around - he brings out all her chaos energy (please pray for the patience of dotae)
the pair have a little tradition of kissing the back of each othersā hands before going on stage for good luck. they canāt even remember how it started, but now its an unnegotiable pre-show ritual
heās so clingy with her absolutely everywhere its painfully adorable Ā (ą²„ļ¹ą²„)
interviews? hyuck has a hand on her knee, or if sheās wearing a skirt heās tucked his hand in between their chairs so she can hold it discreetly. in the dorms? full body tackle onto the couch, where he proceeds to lay on top of her completely.
because of hyuckās nickname being the sun, and aria always being around him, czennies gave her the nickname āmoonā to go with him
fans thought that aria was older than hyuck for a good year and a half before she released her birthday on a vlive, because sheās normally the one tasked with reigning his chaotic energy in during promotions (that is, if she hasnāt already joined him)
but off-camera, aria is absolutely hyuckās baby there is no disputing that. ariaās sad?heās there with ice-cream and a blanket and a baseball bat.
the winnie the pooh character that is on ariaās bed was a gift from hyuck for her 17th birthday, after she made him watch seven episodes of the show on netflix with her one night
yes he complained, but he slapped her hand away when she went to change it to something else
a twitter thread of a czennie comparing their horoscopes together went viral when people realized that it was quite plausible that the pair were each others (platonic) soulmates
after an incident involving blueberries, donghyuck took it upon himself to check the ingredients of every. single. food item in their dorm to make sure it was ok for her to eat
hyuck clowns her for her irish accent, and aria curses him out in japanese
tldr: they cute or whatever
donghyuck was doing a vlive in his bedroom, sitting and talking to czennies when aria opened the door to his room quietly. she didnāt say anything, just waved slightly with almost closed eyes before she crawled underneath his covers and tucked her plushie underneath her chin. hyuck didnāt even blink at it - so it must have been a regular occurrence.
jaemin highkey flusters her
not in a oo youāre so cute, cute boy make nerves go eeee
but heāll wink at her and teasingly compliment her and now she looks like a firetruck this isnāt fair
he absolutely takes advantage of this where ever possibleĀ
āriri, can i have some?āĀ āno, i just made these you should have helped me
(-_-)āĀ āriri~ but you looked so cute making them i didnāt want to interrupt you~ā *aria.exe has stopped responding*
but when aria isnāt trying to get her cheeks to stop being red, theyāre really cute togetherĀ
youād swear aria is older, by how much jaemin whines for her attention
the mighty battles between jaemin and hyuck
hyuckās just biding his time for the rooftop fight
kinda panics around her when sheās crying, but is always the first to offer up a hugĀ
has a period tracker on his phone but no one knows about itĀ
he doesnāt like to coddle her because theyāre so close in age, but that doesnāt stop him from getting protective in certain situations *cough cough the fansign cough cough*
jaemin and aria cuddling when theyāre drunk? more likely than youād think
he definitely professed his undying love for her at one point while being drunk, and chenle caught it on videoĀ
ānoona weāre playing that at your weddingāĀ
designated blanket/pillow hunter at award shows, and if he canāt find one then he usually just gives her his jacket
the amount of coffee these two consume should be illegalĀ
aria prefers to call him nana and he prefers to call her riri in the dorms, so when either of them get called by their first name by the other it means A: theyāre on a schedule, or B: someoneās about to die
nct dream on idol room were trying out jaeminās death-in-a-cup (his coffee) and as the cup got passed around, aria grew more and more concerned with each face the members made.Ā ājaemin if i die from this-ā
he only smiled at her while passing over the cup. aria held it up to look at the black liquid skeptically, before sighing in resignation and bringing the cup to her lips to take a sip.Ā
āwait this is good i like thisā
hide yo kids and hide yo wives because leri is entering the chat
*cue aria and chenle wearing 2000s rapper clothes with backwards baseball caps*
these two are so chaotically calm
its like the energy cancels out or somethingĀ
aria with hyuck is just so loud and obnoxious, and the same with chenle with jisung
so when you put those two together it just turns into le positive vibes
you ever meditated to those 132 hertz sounds? thats them in a soundĀ
aria will hold him like a baby kitten sheās expecting to try wriggle out of her grip at any moment and its comical because heās a good head taller than her
aria definitely has a knack for making her groupmatesā parents fall in love with her
every two weeks or so she goes for dinner in chenleās house upon his motherās request
they have a mutual understanding of the mental toll it takes to be around the rest of the dreamies constantly
chenle and aria sitting peacefully, watching a cdrama:Ā
the dreamies, throttling each other: AAAAAAAAAAA
will never admit it but he misses her the most when she goes away to promote
he thinks of her as a big sister and the dorms feel empty without her there
so aggressive, he legit tackles her
he had to tone it down after knocking her over once backstage and she narrowly missed clocking herself on a nearby soundboardĀ
āYAH ZHONG CHENLE YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!ā
he always gets a little bit anxious when they eat things outside of the dorms because heās never seen her have an allergic reaction before and heād like to keep it that wayĀ (`ēæĀ“ļ¼)
chenle was particularly restless that day, constantly shuffling about in his seat to the point where renjun forcefully tossed an arm over his shoulders to hold him still while the vlive was still playing.
not one to be defeated, chenle then turned to press his lips to renjunās cheek playfully, laughing when the older boy turned away in disgust. he turned to do the same to aria, coming closer to her cheek before aria turned her head to face his.
āAAA-āĀ āEW CHENLE WHYā
if aria could take this boy and wrap him in a blanket and keep him in her pocket she would - no questions askedĀ
jisung knows she loves him the most out of dream sorry markhyuck and takes advantage of it every second
she used to coddle him a lot when he was smaller, but now that heās older aria tries to rein it in as much as possible
that doesnāt mean it goes away completely though
ānoona can you cook for me?āĀ āof course jisungie! what do you want?āĀ
*jeno gobsmacked in the background*Ā āyou just told me you were too tired to cook tonightā
aria: big baby, must protect
jisung: tiny noona, must protect
jaemin and aria are really the only people jisung is ok with seeing him be super emotional - and he flip flops between the two depending on the reason why heās emotional
self-esteem, feeling poopy side of it all? straight into ariaās bed, letting her roll him onto his side so she can tuck his head into her shoulder and covers the two of them with her duvet the way she used to do when he was shorter
this boy cannot curse around her unless he wants to get his ass Beat
they go so hard in their NCT Dance duet videosĀ
he keeps band-aids in his bag for her in exchange for her keeping an extra bottle of water in hers because jisung always forgets his own
jisung rests his elbow on her head a lot
but only briefly because the last time he stayed there for too long she stamped on his foot
tldr: aria is jisungās emotional support gnome
jisung and aria were doing the chicken leg battle (this one) to fight for first dibs on the rooms they were going to be sharing for the next week or so. just before they were about to start, mark started laughing and pointing at how high jisungās leg came up on ariaās, with ariaās knee barely hitting jisungās mid-thigh
āthis is an unfair advantage! this is cheating!ā
