#nct school

You were the first person to smile at me, you asked why am I eating alone in the classroom and I said I enjoy the smell of eraser shavings and you laughed. You were the first person who didn’t care who I was but seemed interested in who I was. You saw me be silent after you laughed, you could say I was guarded, but can you blame me? I also took notice you were popular with girls, you did have everything girls did like, handsome, smart, charismatic, funny, but I didn’t want to befriend you, as others would find away to drag you away from me. They would also start more rumors about how I would blackmail you to talk to me. I expected you to never talk to me again.

my heart, yeah swear it grew a bit

You kept talking to me, to the point where it got annoying but sweet. I could tell others started the rumors again, that you talked to me out of pity, you were getting paid to talk to me, and that you did it to expose me to the school once you knew everything about me. I did like you at that time, I’ll admit that, but I didn’t think you would like me, not because of the rumors, but because I thought you deserved better. You did make me feel comfortable, and for once you made me feel happy. I remember you screamed the first time I smiled at you after I saw you trip on a stick and almost fell on your face.

we talk, we talk alone at night, stay up cause it felt like paradise

I eventually trusted you and gave you my number, and we texted often and you even FaceTimed me when your favorite anime was on. I would remember our longest FaceTime was 9 hours from 4:00 till 1:00 AM. I stayed up and only my feelings grew for you and continued to grow for the next four years.

fast forward to the future now

we were now dating. We constantly talked about our future together, if we could make it through you being an idol, you deciding to pursue music and me pursuing my medical research career. we talked about sweet things like starting a family, baby names, and fun date ideas. Deep conversations were nonetheless common, keeping me late at night thinking about the things you said. You asked me if time was real and if I think aliens are watching over us, it was those late nights that I loved about you.

It wasn’t until senior year when we finally graduated, I couldn’t find you and I was worried. I found you where we met our freshman classroom and you were sitting in my desk. “we need to break up” you said, I was confused since we would be going to the same college, so there would be no issue with anything. Tears started to form in your eyes but you didn’t dare to look at Mark right now, you wondered if you guys dated for nothing, that everything was building up for him to drop you.

love can be hectic, and love always hurts us

“we need to break up” “we need to break up” “we need to break up”

Those words kept replaying in your head, wondering why he did this. “I have to move away, and long distance relationships won’t be the best for us.” you finally looked at Mark with a blank face but tears falling from your face. You saw that Mark was emotionless like he had planned to do this for a long time now, and you just stood there in silence looking at him. Mark got up and walked over to look at you. You sniffed and said “So, that's it? Okay.” You couldn’t be mad or sad enough to yell at him, he was following his dream and if he didn’t want you to be a part of it, it's his fault. You let him walked away, not because of you weak but because you loved him, you felt that you had been holding him back from what he really wanted. You wanted him to be happy so you let him go.

back then when we had to say goodbye

Mark hugged you and you didn’t hug him back, you just wanted to have some time alone right now. Mark let go of you and left you standing in your gown, and he turns to look at you one last time at the doorway, “goodbye y/n I love you.” Once he left you immediately muttered, “you LOVED me.” You walked your way back to the courtyard to see Mark getting into a fancy car with his family and other good-looking boys. You couldn’t help but look at him as he left you just like that.

pretty soon we made mistakes and all the feelings start to change

Mark actually regretted breaking up with you and still looked at your pictures you both took on dates and members would even catch him looking at you for too long. “You still thinking about her? It’s okay Mark you’ll get over her.” Johnny told Mark. But everyone had been saying that for a year and he still wasn’t over you. Meanwhile, you, went off to college living your dream studying on becoming a research medical scientist, and you were doing very well in college. In fact, within the year you forgot about Mark most of the time but missed him and thought of him when guys tried asking you, you rejected them, but because you didn’t want to get into another relationship, not because of them personally.

and then my feelings start to fade, and then your feelings turn to hating

Within your second year of college, you forgot about Mark, not completely but the pain and depression of him were gone, you put him a new slate but you never forgot what he did.  You realized little details of that day as much as you wanted to forget it kept coming back to haunt you. He didn’t even apologize or anything, he just got up and left, for no reason, he didn’t even ask if I wanted to say something, he just hugged me and left. You grew resentment towards Mark, some could even say you hated him if someone asked you would simply say, “oh yeah I knew him, he was a dick.” It was harsh but hey you hated him and hated that he let this memory be engraved within your brain.

I can’t imagine what’d I do if you were here right now

You didn’t want to think about it, but as you are now one of the best research scientists in Korea and moved from your hometown to Seoul, to work in a more prestigious office, and get paid more. You now live in a penthouse apartment on top of a hotel, worth around $10,000,000 if you didn’t count all your furniture and clothes. You also grew to be a more mature and beautiful person, and many guys asked for your number and to take you out on a date. To be honest, you weren’t dating anyone, but you said you had a boyfriend to have the asking die down. You also had a pet welsh corgi named Oliver and took him on walks when it was nice outside. At this point you had forgotten about Mark and laughed when someone brought up his name and wondered what in the heck he is doing now, you didn’t hate him anymore you just hoped he was doing okay.

but love, it stands alone

You were walking Oliver around the city and decided to stop for an iced tea so you stopped at a dog-friendly coffee shop and ordered your drink. When you walked outside you noticed Oliver was sniffing all of the passing customers but stopped at one and jumped up at one of them, spilling their coffee on their sweater. You apologized and bowed and looked up to see….

Mark…

Mark recognized you but didn’t take you to be the person he would see in a Burberry scarf and trench coat. “oh hey y/n! Since when did you move to Seoul?” he said petting Oliver. “I had to move offices for my job,” you said.

“and who’s this cutie?”

“Oliver.”

“Oliver? That’s a cute name, what do you do for work now?”

“I’m a research scientist, experimenting new vaccines and such.”

“that's so cool!”

“what do you do now?”

“me? I’m an idol now,” he said scratching his head

“really?”

“yeah I’m in a group called nct”

“Oh cool, I’ll check you guys out.”

then there was a silence.

“Hey y/n, if you don’t mind, can I get your number?”

“Mark…”

“I know I messed up, I’m sorry but I’m not looking into dating right now” as much as I would love to date you “I just want to be friends, for now, I would be lying if I didn’t say I miss you”

As much as you wanted to say you had a boyfriend, it didn’t matter, so you gave it to him anyway for the heck of it.

“Here.”

You swear you have never seen him more happy in his life he did the damn smile, that smile, he still got it huh.

“bye y/n and Oliver, have a nice day!”

“you too.”

You let out a huge breath of relief, did that really just happen? You pinched yourself as you heard your phone ding and saw a text that said:

“hey its mark” hopefully y/n didn’t give me a fake number

“Sir I think you have the wrong number” hehe

“Oh, then I’m sorry just ignore that.”

“you know I’m joking idiot.”

“OMG Y/N!! UR SO MEAN : (((“

You couldn’t help but laugh as you walked home with Oliver and your iced tea. When you got home you found yourself texting Mark at 2 AM realizing how much you missed this.

hopefully, you both can love again, and start something new, even though it seems old.

and love has a home

gonna start with what this precious boy is like in his fav classes

so hes said his fav subjects are p.e, maths and english cutie

PHYSICAL EDUCATION: lets just take a moment to imagine him in the kit pls

he’d be so !!! cute !!!

like, im imagining shorts, trainers and a shirt

sry that was a really bad description rip

but he’s tucked in his shirt bc it always goes flying when he’s running

and hes always wearing a watch so when the eacher is like “everyone pack up!”

he checks his watch and is like “but teacher!!! we still have five minutes, pleASE can we stay out for 2!! minutes !!! longer!!”

and like honestly who can resist his smile???

MATHEMATICS: ok so imagine him sitting quietly at his desk, glasses on with a calculator in hand

idk man my heart is swooning just thinking of that

he participates a lot in class; laughs it off if he ever gets an answer wrong, but bOIII his smile when he gets a question right is just. too. pure.

ENGLISH: i imagine him being super happy in this class

like hes always eager to learn another language, and english is a universal language so he finds it super cool

he has the cuTESt accent when he speaks in english

cue chenle saying “Oh my God” in that voice whenever he learns new vocab

has probably tried outsmarting mark with big words he’s learnt

mark is super proud !!!!

lowkey watching out like i can be the only english speaker chenle stay in your lane jkjk

i feel like he would be the type to try and make his own food to bring in to school as well lmao

keyword being try

it’s just a bunch of mush with egg in there because this boy is so hyperactive, so hes always running around

his lunch suffers the consequences

he eats it happily anyways, and then takes a bit of food from renjun #CHINALINEFTWWWW

he probs also brings in a bottle full of chocolate milk he made in the morning

he always has chocolate stashed somewhere in his pockets

hyuck tries stealing it sometimes but n o p e

you do not get in between chenle and chocolate

hyuck learnt that the hard way

ok so yall probably met at the park

one day the dreamies were out playing football at the park

and you were there bc friends had dragged you to get outta your room for once

you only agreed bc they said theyd pay for ice cream

!!!!! FREE FOOD !!!!!

so you all found a park bench to chill on and chat to each other

rephrase: you sat down at a bench and whipped out your phones

whilst eating the ice cream you were looking around and your focus just zoomed in on the group of guys playing footie on the field

and you were sat a rly good angle so you basically just watched the game and ignored the others

it seemed to be a game of hats vs hair [i wrote non-hats first i feel rly dumb lmao]

you were rooting for hair bc the hair colours were rly cool

and you also recognised the pink and blue hair colours to be jisung and chenle’s who you went to school with

cue cliche plot bc im kinda tired now :(

chenle tried passing the ball to jisung but lmao he ended up slipping so it went off in some random direction

ok a not so random direction, it was headed straight for you

UNLUCKILY,,, your friends had finally noticed you werent paying attention to the convo so they made you talk to them

meaning: your gaze was no longer on the match so you didnt know a ball was hurtling towards you

and booMBOOM everyday boomboom #seventeentrash #sorrynotsorry

the ball whacked your ice cream to the gROUND :((((((

oh man oh man

you dropped to the ground like mY !!! ICE CREAM !!!! the only reason you came outside was now lying dead, defeated, on the ground

not gonna lie, tears were shed

why do i keep making food suffer

ironically i just poked myself in the eye so now tears have actually been shed

cue 7 boys running towards you @ full speed and your friends lowkey laughing at your antics

and like chenle is just repeatedly saying im sorry imsorryimsorry

hyuck’s just like “five second rule dude !!!!!”

mark hits him

and chenle just grabs your arm and drags you to the nearest ice cream shop

and hes like im so sorry pick whatever ice cream you want and i’ll pay im so so sorry

so you get the same ice cream but decided to indulge in sprinkles on top as well bc he should pay a bit more since he just murdered your ice cream

and then the person behind the register tells you the price and you look to chenle and hes like

panicking, grabbing at his pockets and everything and hes like

oh boi,, so, uhh, funny story actually

mark usually pays for our stuff so uhhh

i dont actually have my wallet

:) 

and youre just like damn

i brought extra sprinkles and im gonna have to pay for them

so you give the person the money and chenle’s just like

im so sosososo sorry i swear i will actually make it up to you

and youre just like, eh, why not, more free food !! so you guys agree to meet up again and

this time !!!

he actually remembered to bring money !!!

woo this boi

everyone including me loves him

but how can they not????

hes so c00l damn

quite popular bc hes in the drama club and dance club

and they do loads of school performances

that dont have parents complaining,, looking at you mark, hyuck + the rest of the rap club

so yeah jeno just rolls up to the auditions for the latest drama show and the teacher holding the auditions is just like

jeno no no couldnt help myself there whoops :’) you dont need to audition youve already got the male lead ilysm your acting is 11/10

and hes just like oH :’’’’) hes super bashful and not smug??? which just makes ppl like him even more !!!!

ok so he probs was like but teacheeerrr,, i WANT to audition

seems like the type to like the thrill of auditioning more than acting in the actual performance lmao

so he auditions and everything and obvs gets the part

so hes like !!! yay,, but then hes also sad for the ppl that auditioned for the part he got my poor bby

so he’ll like go around complimenting their auditions and he rE A LL Y does mean it when he says their acting was good

tries slyly giving them advice if they want so that they can improve bc he genuinely wants them to improve so that they can get the lead next time

i swear its the same thing when it comes to dancing performances lmao

gets centre stage most of the time bc his movement is so fluid and beautiful and graceful prAISE THIS BOY PLS

ok so all this stage attention has led him to a locker full of love notes lmaooo

ok well it’s like 60% love notes/ confessions, 30% normal post-it notes congratulating him and then 10% hyuck’s homework with labels like “i’ll give you doughnuts if you do this”

he answers them all wrong and gets the doughnuts anyway :)))

ok so yknow how he likes assembling figures and stuff,,,, he probably keeps like the latest figure he’s working on in his school bag for ‘life or death’ purposes

so he’s always the first to finish eating so he can hurry and assemble the figure

he lowkey sabotages jisung’s figures so that jisung cries and complains to him and then he’ll fix it and asks for dark chocolate in return and jisung is none the wiser :))))))

jeno just blames hyuck or chenle whenever jisung gets suspicious

so yall probably met through the drama club

but rather than being on the performance side of stuff

you were there helping out with the technical stuff/ making props, the whole shebang

so jeno, being a lover of ppl, also appreciates the technical ppl aka you bc they put in just as much work as he [and the other actors/actoresses] does [/do] into the shows

and at every recital he tries to talk to as many ppl as he can during his breaks

and so one day it was your turn to meet him yayy !!!!

he even brought along smth for you to eat bc he noticed how long you had been working on this painting without a break

and so you took it, saying thanks, and he just made like light-hearted chatter before his break ended and then after a while you all got sent home

at the next recital he met up some new people but he didnt get to see you

bc you had gone for a toilet break before he had his break and so he just left some food and drinks where you were working this cutiE

and then you guys just kept up conversations whenever you could, even saying hi and stuff in the hallways and at lunch

and then on the day of the performance, he asked for the mic at the end, yknow, when the acting team’s all standing and bowing on stage

and hes like “i would like to invite the people backstage that helped make this performance possible, from helping with the props to having perfect timing with the lighting” etc etc.

and so he like looks off to the side and ushers everyone to come on stage

and the rest of the acting group is clapping and so is the crowd so yall H A V E to go up

and when you go up and bow, you look at him and hes already looking at you

and he does that CUTEEEEEE !!!!11!!1!!! EYE SMILE HE DOES !!!!! YOU KNOW THE ONE IM TALKING ABOUTTTTT !!!!!1!11!!!!!!

donghyuck !!!!

my precious bb give this boy love pls

ok so i think we all know hes the class clown + trouble maker

but whos complaining??? the dude's funny as heck

hes the type of kid that starts pointless arguments with the teacher

but everyone loves it bc 1) entertainment !! 2) no learning !!!!!!

also that one kid that keeps clicking a pen during a test/ quiet study

like

stop

he finds it irritating himself, but if it annoys mark then it's worth it

ok so remember that aforementioned rap performance thing from mark's imagine??

u bet your butt hyuck was there !! life of the damn party he was

he took over the mc's mic when it was his turn to come on and made everyone call him Haechan

he even got the crowd to chant it whilst he was rapping lmao u go boi

11/10 he dropped the mic at the end of the performance

he probs also bribed chenle + jisung to stand at the front of the crowd and throw roses after he performed

ok so,,, least fav subject: science

hes gotten one too many detentions bc he never pays attention

hes probs also tried sabotaging the lesson in multiple ways so that the teacher cant teach properly or so he can escape

pretending he was ill so he could go to the med room

sitting on the papers that the teacher was meant to hand out to every1 whilst the teacher wasnt looking lmao

constantly asking questions so the teacher would have to pause the video playing

or complaining about the volume/ quality of the video

he doesnt hate doing experiments tho bc at least he can move around the class and talk to the other dreamies in that class

aka he gets jaemin to do the work and record it in his book too as he goes and ruins mark's experiment in 1748734 different ways

literally sCrEaMS when the bell rings and he's the first one outTA THERE !!!

@lunch time, he always steals food from the other dreamies like

"omg jisung is that a cockroach??????"

*casually steals his crisps, watching jisung scream/ cry*

jeno was gonna expose hyuck but he was offered some crisps by hyuck for his silence

ofc jeno agreed

ok so your meeting:

you were walking past the music classrooms bc you got held back after school for a quick talk

and you hear a noise

so you stop, thinking someone was playing the bass

like who doesnt stop to listen to ppl playing instruments????

anyways,,,, after a while youre just like tf? bc this doesnt sound musical at all

so you go into the class aaaaand

lo and behold

hyuck is sleeping on the floor of the class, his jacket's on top of the keyboard as a makeshift pillow

and you recognise him who doesnt tbfh but also bc renjun is always telling you abt the shiz he does to the others

so you pop open your chat with renjun and snap a pic of hyuck who's got drool and messy as heck hair

"quality blackmail material ;)" and you hit send

you nudge him until he wakes up at hes literally a lost puppy

like ..... uh? who..... are you?

complete opposite to the haechan you watched on stage rip

but its kinda cute pfft

anyways you tell him that he fell asleep and you, being a kindred soul, woke him up

hes just like o ok thank u byEEEEE

the next day w0000

as soon as he sees you at lunch he is fuL L SPEED RU N NIN G @ YOU

youre actually terrified, like contemplating whether to run away or not

but you staaaaay yay !

but holy heck hes mad

hyuck: >:(

you: uh hi?

hyuck: you sent the guys a pic of me!!!!! wht did i ever do to you?!?!?!

you: o whoops? i guess my hand slipped? :')

ever since then hes been trying to get revenge

but you obviously wont let him win

so whatever he throws at you, you throw back

basically y'all start a huGE lil' sabotage war

started off with mindless hiding the others homework/ stealing their food

but then it turns into full on getting mark to distract hyuck

as renjun and jeno sneak you into hyuck's house so you could stick up multiple printed off copies of that Sleeping Hyuck™ picture that started this war off

as payback, he got chenle and jisung to ask you to help them out with their homework

meanwhile, he snuck into your locker and stuck up lots of pictures of himself in there with hearts and everything on them

he used duct tape and permanent glue and whatever else he could so getting the pictures down would be vvvv hard

eventually as y'all done this, and you learned the others weakness, you also got closer !!!

like sometime during the debacle, phone numbers were exchanged and you guys have a love/ hate relationship

the other dreamies have 2 bets going on:

one: who will confess first, hyuck or y/n?

two: how long will it take for them to start dating?

ok so

one day you told renjun that you had this killer plan to just end the whole war between you + hyuck

so you told him to make sure no one came to hyuck's house bc you wanted to prank him when he was alone

and on that fated day he was waiting for you to spam him about the success of your plan as you usually did

but you didnt??? like he waited for h o u r s (like 2 but watevs)

and you didnt message him at all

so he got reaaaaaally curious and he told the other dreamies and they all decided to go check out what was going on

and there was utter silence @ hyuck's house so they snuck in

they expected one of you to be screaming

so the silence could only mean one of you had killed the other as the Ultimate Revenge™ 

they made another bet on who was dead

they went inside as quietly as they could

and guess !! what they !!!! saw !!!!!!!

you and hyuck just chilling 2gether on the sofa watching a film

bUT

PLOT TWIST

jk

holding !!!! hanDS !!!!!!!

chenle was the first to scream omf

yall got so sh00k hyuck literally pushed you to the ground to "hide" you

"they already saw us, duMBASS"

all was silent after that

jisung parrrrrrrk

boi o boi is he rly rockin’ the blue hair right now

pls just take a moment to appreciate his hair before reading on

ok so we all know how this boy gREW TF UP RIGHT SM RELEASE THEIR OFFICIAL HEIGHTS PLS ITS FOR SCIENCE

lets say you both went to the same primary school [idk what this is in american years lmao]

you probably saw him as a relatively average height shortie yknow

but then you see him in high school like ???? what,, is this,,, really,,,, jisung park????

yes. yes it is. he still hangs out with the same older dweebs.

so yeah everyone basically knows him as the Giant Child™

ok idk if yall remember but i created a dance club in the jeno version

that is back

jisung was probs also in that

it was basically a two man show of jeno + jisung #JJPROJECT RIP 

jkjk,, but seriously, jisung would get centre stage mid dance when the beat drops

and he’d be poppin’ n’ lockin’ all over that stage like he owns it

and everyone’s just awestruck bc like ??? whoa damn he can move

and like all his transitions are smooth af and it doesnt look forced at all?? hes so talented, so young, so beautiful i love him

yknow what other club he was in??

but like no one knows bc its a dangerous club??

thats right

Rap Club™

the older members of the club made sure jisung didnt get in trouble bECAUSE HES SO PRECIOUS but everyone knows he was there

everyone but the teachers

it was his time to shine and spit bars and man was he gr8 at that

he and hyuck want to bring it back but mark and renjun keep sabotaging their plans

jeno keeps siding with both teams, jaemin is making matters worse by riling them all up and chenle is just laughing hysterically in the background

#JustAnotherDayWithTheDreamiesTBH

one stand out day you remember of jisung was when hyuck and jeno tricked him into thinking there was a cockroach nearby

youve never seen a guy scream that loudly/ that high-pitched

lmao it was a hilarious sight to see

he was panicking and everything

you lowkey looked around as well just in case there was an actual cockroach

thankfully there wasn’t

but jisung wasn’t believing any of them so he up and left to some safe haven on the other side of the lunch hall

i mentioned football at the start of this, and trigger the fever is still playing so im sticking to football now

plus, jisung likes football

so thats gonna be how you met

in p.e. the teachers decided to hold footie tournaments during the lessons

so the class was split into 6 groups of 5

your first match went by relatively quickly and yall won 3-1 yay !!!

but in the next match, your goalkeeper got hit in the face

so they had to sit out for a while and basically your defence was weakened

which allowed for 4 goals to get in, ending the match 4-2

so this final match was gonna make or break whether your team was gonna have more wins or losses

aaaand it turns out similar stuff had happened to jisung’s team

so they had won 1 match and lost the other

so they also needed to win this match

alas, there can be only one winner

FIGHT TO THE DEATH

jkjk unless u want 2

anyways, yall were geared up + ready to beat the other team

your goalie had joined you again

so you now had an Iron Wall™ defence [anyone get the reference? pls]

and it was a really gruelling match yknow

slide tackles, penalites, yellow cards were even given out

but it was 5-5

and time was running out

you decided to play as a striker this time [fyi: the person that shoots the ball]

so to counter you, jisung went defence and his long legs were really good at saving the ball and kicking it away to anyone that was free, or simply running away w/ it

ok so the teachers had called in the final minute so really its do or die time now

your goalie manages to save a ball that just came their way and they kicked it towards your mid player

the mid player juuuust about managed to dodge a slide tackle before passing the ball to you

DO OR DIE TIME HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED NOW

you turn with the ball to face the goal and all you see is jisung

and he is running towards you

and youre basically dribbling the ball away and just as you find a split second to shoot

the teacher is whistling the bell to stop playing

like darn :(

the moment was so intense but now it’s over

a tie :(((

super disappointing :’(

so you pick up the ball and head in for a quick talk with the rest of your team mates

and yall decide to play football again next lesson

and like jisung slyly coughs at you like “we’re totally gonna win next time. i was so close to getting the ball from you!”

and youre just like “pfffffft bring it on, blueberry”

so your p.e. teachers have unknowingly fuelled a rivalry between the two of you

and now it’s sort of become a rivalry outside of football

who can get more certificates by the end of the term??

who can take part in more performances????

who can finish lunch quickest???????

who can do the best bubble writing????????

yall literally turn the most mundane tasks into competitions and like its so lame but you both have so much ??? fun ?? whilst doing it

all your friends are literally j u d g i n g you but who cares, you just beat jisung at drawing pikachu

and through this rivalry you both have gotten?? closer? like you do SOMETIMES have conversations without them ending in “i bet i can do this better than you”

and then one day
