minor: vocal performanceÂ
sports: was on the table tennis team until their funding was cutÂ
clubs: campus journal - he critics music albums and reports on student activities (sports, musicians, events)
seungkwan is pretty well known on campus because heâs interviewed just about e v e r y o n e
anyone who heads a team or a club or organized a fundraiser/bake sale whatever like seungkwan has emailed them to talk about their activitiesÂ
and like his enthusiasm isnât matched by anyone else in the major, like seungkwan will do the most to get a story and heâs never shy of approaching people or getting them to share what they know and like heâs a complete PERFECTIONIST when it comes to reporting because not a single thing can be a lie, he has to report exactly what he knows
and sometimes this can get on peopleâs nerves and people always whisper behind his back about his over-the-top nature but seungkwan could literally care less
sometimes seungcheol or hoshi will hear someone say something and theyâll be like âcheer up seungkwan, theyâre just being assholes!â and seungkwan, whose eating with one hand and taking notes from one of his interviews with the other is just like âhmm? they said something? i didnât even have time to hear them.â
and like his true passion is writing musical critique because aside from being a journalist, heâs also a practiced singer and even minors in vocal performanceÂ
and every time the journal comes out the music section is the longest because seungkwan is passionate and yes he totally reviewed vernonâs secret mixtape and that one cover song jeonghan put up on his soundcloud and when both people found out their names were in the journal they were like sEUNGKWA N and he was just likeÂ
âlisten i gave you pretty decent scores, you should have seen how i tore about this other album-â and theyâre like oh my god
and seungkwan has sent in a couple formal pieces to local magazines and things like that and heâs really hoping for an internship soon because just writing for the campus journal isnât too big of a deal
especially considering the fact that almost every time someone joins the journal - they like drop it a semester in because the work that you actually have to put in is a L O T
the editor in chief also is like seungkwan maybe you shouldnât,,,,be so hard on the newcomers you kinda scare them away
and seungkwan is like âjust because i told ken his fiction piece about flying squirrels wasnât that good doesnât mean im being hard on people. it was a story about flying squirrels you guys.â
and the thing is seungkwan really does love his major and he really loves the act of reporting, of hearing people talk about things they love or things they hate, and being able to share that small snippet with the rest of the campus through his words - like that impact is the reason heâs so obsessed with putting out only perfect work
and so when the campus directors send the journal a letter about how if it doesnât find new members itâs sure to lose its funding, seungkwan is beyond devastatedÂ
buT MAN DOES IT RILE HIM UP AND Heâs LIKE GUYS WE GOTTA MAKE FLYERSÂ
and everyoneâs like âseungkwan thatâs not gonna even wo-â and seungkwanâs already opening up photoshop and being like âcomic sans would be a good font, but letâs be real helvetica is more classy.â
and that is actually how you meet intense journalist seungkwan, through some flyers and im not saying he hands you a flyer and politely introduces you to the student journal
im talking youâre running down the hall to the printing room and seungkwan is holding a wobbly pile of 100 flyers that all say PLEASE SAVE OUR SCHOOL JOURNAL on them
and once you two collide all those flyers come down like rain around you
and youâre hfowskdf oh my god im SORRY and seungkwan doesnât even answer you heâs like âthe flyers, pick up the flyers, the flyers, weâre ruined, the flyers, flyers, flyers, fLYeRSâ and youâre likeÂ
watching him try to gather everything with panicky hands
and you know you were running because you had to print something super fast because you were in class but you canât leave him like this so you start helping him pick up the flyers and he doesnât even notice
until you two are both out of breath, sweaty, each holding a crooked pile of papers and youâre like âhere!!! sorry again, i hope none are ruined!!â
and heâs like âoh-â because he didnât notice you were helping him he got too caught up
and then,,,like you two thought it was over riGHt but all at once itâs the end of classes and before you know it thereâs a stampede of like students coming from this way and that and you and seungkwan are caught in the middle and their are elbows being pushed into you and peoples backpacks swinging at you
and seungkwan wobbles and once againâŠ.the papers going flying
except this time you guys cant hurry to pick them up, instead theyâre stepped on and tore apart by people trying to get the hell out of the building
and when you look up at seungkwan you can see the Utter Defeat in his eyes and like you feel so bad that that just happened and youâre like
â,,,,,,,,im so sorry.â and he just sighs and as the crowd disperses he walks over to the wall and slides down against it and is like âitâs fine, it was a stupid idea anyway. who on campus even looks at flyers anymore?â and youâre like ): because like youâre not friends with seungkwan, but you know who he is and youâre likeÂ
âi assume the flyers are about the journal?? is it closing??â and seungkwan explains that theyâre gonna lose their funding if they donât get more members and youâre like oh,,,,,im sorry
and he just shrugs and heâs like âitâs not like anyone reads that journal anyway.â and youâre like âi read it!! i especially like the music page, all your stuff is so in-depth and not half assed.â and seungkwan suddenly gets a hint of happiness on his face
and heâs like âreally??â and youâre like âyeah!!! i even checked out that cover your friend didâŠ..jeonghan? you wrote about it and when i listened to it, it was so relaxing!!â
and suddenly seungkwan perks up and heâs like âif you think jeonghan hyung sings well, you should listen to-â
and long story short you donât ever print your thing and instead you end up talking for some time with seungkwan until once again heâs like âi really donât know what to do about the journal.â and youâre like âi could try to join??;â and seungkwan thanks you for the sentiment but one new member probably wonât appease the school
and so youâre both standing there with frowns on your faces and seungkwan is likeÂ
âitâs funny but i used to wish that someone in the journal would finally ask to write an article about me,,,,donât you think thatâs kind of selfish?â and heâs trying to laugh it off but you see that heâs faking and youâre like
âwait? are you also a musician?â and seungkwan bites back his lip and shakes his head
and heâs like âmy sister and i both sang a lot when we were younger so i took up vocal performance as my minor because i like it a lot. i wouldnât say im a musician, but âŠâŠitâd be nice to have someone acknowledge it once in awhile.â
and he like starts to get up and youâre like âwait.â and heâs like ??
and you  scramble to your feet as well and youâre like âlet me do it. let me write something on you as a singer, at least for this last issue.â
seungkwan kind of looks at you flabbergasted and heâs like ????? do?????do you know what youâre signing up for???
and youâre like âhEY look midterms are over for the most part and aside from stuff i have to do for myself, i could devote some time to this. especially if it means a lot to you.â
and seungkwan for a second stares at you as if he still canât believe youâre offering to do this
but then he takes your hand in his and is like âwell, finally weâll have another persons opinion in the music section!â
and youâre like giggling but youâre also like âjust tell me a time when youâre free so i can hear you sing.â and seungkwanâs like here give me your number so i can contact you
itâs cute seungkwanâs background is the famous singer junsu and youâre like âohâ and seungkwanâs like LISTEN heâs my idol,,,,,,,, and his eyes get all sparkly itâs adorable
but yeah you give him your number and youâre like âill look forward to it and ill do my best!!â
and then you figure out holy shit your class is over, you never printed your  thing time to run and see if the teacher still hung around for office hours
and like as you make your way down the hall, seungkwan holds his phone and he canât help but finally feel a little better about everythingÂ
and as he watches you disappear around the corner he reminds himself that he owes you a thank you when this is all over
and so a week passes and seungkwan texts you finally to meet him in the performance center on campus and heâs like âi booked one of the recording rooms!!â and youâre like cool letâs go
and like to be honest youâre sitting on the other side of the glass with your notebook out to maybe take notes like ??? really you donât know what youâre doing here youâve never written a review but youâre not like worried
but then, seungkwan who seems so shy putting on the headphones and adjusting the mic
like when he starts to sing the pen youâre holding literally drops from your hand because his voice???????
itâs the voice of a real AngelÂ
and from the moment he starts to the last second of the lyrics, you canât help but just be completely wrapped up in his voice
and when he asks you what you thought of it you can only try to snap yourself out of it and ask him
âdid you play a recording into the microphone? was that really you?â
and seungkwan puts a hand over his mouth to laugh and heâs like WHAT is up with your facial expression you look so confused
and youâre like âseungkwan, seriously why arenât you a singer? why are you in college? why arenât you selling albums with your face on the cover holy hell you sing better than anyone ive ever heard before???â
and seungkwan shrugs and heâs like ânahh, itâs just a hobby.â and youâre like if i had a hobby that i was THAT good at. i wouldnât be here. iâd be trying to get jyp or sm to notice me hoyl HELL
and seungkwan comes out and he asks if you took any notes or have any criticisms and youâre like
âcriticisms? this review im going to write is literally going to be like : BOO SEUNGKWAN OF THE JOURNALIST MAJORS HAS THE VOICE OF GODâ
and again seungkwan is just laughing because wow youâre so silly heâs not that good but like a sense of pride swells in him because no oneâs really ever praised him so much like this before
and like he asks if youâd like to listen to him some more and youâre like yes please!!!
and itâs amazing he has such a good range and he even says heâs written his own original lyrics
and you two spend a good 6 hours in their together until one of the professors needs the recording room to teach and as youâre walking back onto campus youâre like
âseungkwan, what ifâŠâŠ..you busk?â and heâs like âon campus?â and youâre like âsure, or even better like in the city? like whats a day you donât have classes or club we could go out and set up in a park or somewhere and you could sing and maybe if we do it a couple of times we could scrap up some many for the journal???â
and seungkwan brightens up instantly and heâs like !!! thatâd be so cool and youâre like right??
and you two start basically jumping up and down in excitement just talking about it and seungkwans like âmaybe i could ask my friend joshua to come out and play guitar too??â and youâre clapping your hands like yes!!!! thatâd be amazing
and seungkwan is like âyouâre a genius, we should have thought of this SOONERâ and youâre like ok ok text joshua and see when heâs free and then tell me so we can plan more
and itâs like really adorable because you and seungkwan, who met literally a week ago are talking like youâve been friends for ages
and you get so happy at the thought of being able to help him and he gets so excited being able to share what he loves with you
and maybe neither of you know it yet but listen, this is the beginning of CRUSHES
and when seungkwan asks if youâre free tomorrow after 4 because joshua can come out then youâre like yes!!
the next day youâre leaving your dorm and your roommates like woAH you look so cute - going on a date? and youâre like huh??? no?? why does it look like i put in effort? and your roommates just like (ââ: yes it does. is it for a bo-
and youâre like BYE GOING NOW
and you meetup with seungkwan and joshua near the subway station off campus and joshua introduces himself and when he turns to seungkwan heâs likeÂ
âyour significant other is really sweet, why didnât you introduce them to me before?â
and seungkwan is like âoh theyâre not - weâre not -â
and youâre like YEAH weâre nOTÂ
and joshua is like oh?????? really???? itâs just the way seungkwan was talking about you made it seem-
and seungkwan like jumps up to cover joshuaâs mouth like HAHAAH so funny hyung letâs get on the subway
and you donât notice it but joshua nudges you closer to seungkwan while you guys are squished on the seats on your way to the city
and seungkwan holds you steady when you get up to get off and the train jerks
and the whole time joshuaâs looking off to the side like heâs on the office with the mOST SMUG EXPRESSIONÂ
because you two are all cute and innocent, just like a young couple in love and you donât even KNOW IT
and like once you get to the park you help joshua and seungkwan set up and you guys use joshuaâs guitar case as a way to collect money and youâre basically in charge of attracting peoples attention so you run around asking people to gather around seungkwan because !!! hey hEY the best vocalist is about to perform
and like you give seungkwan a thumbs up after you manage to get like 15-20 people to come around
and when he starts to sing along with joshuaâs guitar you can see the shock on the faces of the audience
and people even start getting their phones out to record
and sooner or later that crowd of 20 turns to a crowd of even more
and seungkwan is such a natural people person like in between songs he asks the people if theyâre resting well after work and if theyâve eaten
and itâs like watching a soloists performance, heâs so professional and good
and people even ask if he has albums or a site where they could listen to him sing like a youtube or something
and seungkwan is like !! im not that great- but seriously everyone is complimenting him
and seeing him light up with happiness and bow in thankfulness it makes your heart beat with joy,,,but also
the smile on seungkwanâs face,,,,,,,it gets you so,,,,,,,soft
like you want to protect that smile forever
on your way back you count all the loose change and bills and youâre like itâs over a hundred dollars and seungkwan is like WHAT NO WAY and joshuaâs like âim not surprised, you sounded really good seungkwanâ
and youâre like âi told you!!! youâre so talented and lovely - people are bound to like you!!â
and seungkwan looks at you and heâs like,,,,, âlovely?â
and you kind of turn pink and stutter and youâre like âyEAH you know like idols,,,,,,,,,,very lovely your look,,,,,,you look approachable and nice and,,,,,â
and seungkwan is like âoh! you just mean im nice!â and youâre like mHMM!!! and joshua is like PFFT UHUH OKÂ
and so you accompany seungkwan a couple of more times when he goes out to busk
and by the end of the semester youâre sure youâve raised enough for the journal to fund itself just a bit longer without having to get new members
and seungkwan is like âitâs time for our next issue to come out!!â and youâre like âcan you wait to see what i wrote on you?â and heâs like HONESTLY NO
and so when the copies get made, seungkwan rushes to see and heâs likeÂ
âwhy isnât your piece in the review section, itâs just my review of vernonâs mixtape - where is -â
and youâre like âsilly, look at the cover!!â
and seungkwan flips it back over and he sees that on the cover itâs a photo of him singing in the park, a photo you took and heâs like âwh-â
and he sees that the main story that was printed is about how his performances helped save the journal
and itâs written by you (with help from the journals members who all love seungkwan too) and itâs literally just you praising his hardwork and humblenessÂ
and ask seungkwan reads it you see him stop at the last lineÂ
ââŠ.and somehow, this all made me fall in love with him.â
and he looks up at you and heâs likeÂ
and you can only looks to the side sheepishly like,,,,,,, âreporters shouldnât lie? right?â
and seungkwan literally just puts the journal down and takes you by the waist and kisses you and youâre like oH!!
but it doesnât stop there heâs just kissing you on your temple and your cheeks and your nose
and youâre like seungkwAN THE other MEMBERs of the JOURNAl Are WATHCINGÂ
and heâs like OOPS but itâs cute theyâre like âweâll leave you two to it ^^â
and seungkwan is just like,,,,,, âi donât know how or why i got lucky enough to meet someone like you who wanted to help me right from the get go, but god im so so so thankfulâ
and youâre like âim thankful too, to have meet someone so talented and passionate. you have the capacity to do anything seungkwan. really.â
and you two are looking into each others eyes and he leans in and heâs like
âright now, i want to use all that capacity to kiss you again.â
AND LIKE you two are the cutest thing ever seungkwan is so proud of dating you and he shows it off all the time
like literally a minute after he sends his mom an excited message about how he thinks heâs found the person of his dreams
he also mails her a copy of the journal as always and heâs like âhere, do you wanna talk to my mom when i call her???â and youâre like isNT IT TOO early to talk to her like this,,, and seungkwan is like âno no sheâll love you i know it because i love you.â
and the journal is up and running ok and tbh seungkwanâs busking on campus has kind of made it pretty popular like more people are coming to meetings and submitting writing or songsÂ
and you even join but not really as a reporter but more as like an editor every now and then
and youâre the only person seungkwan trusts to show drafts tooÂ
and like youâre his number one hype squad like youâre always like seungkwan your writing is so good, your singing is so good, your face is SO GOOD
and seungkwanâs like âi know my face is good because you keep kissing itâ and youâre like YOUâRE RIGHT
that background photo of junsu on his phone is replaced with a photo of you when you fell asleep on his shoulder after you two were coming in from the city after he busked
and one day he actually writes a song for youÂ
and performs it for the first time outside on the campus quad
and when he sings your name you literally fall to your knees with your face in your hands and like seungcheol and joshua and vernon and jeonghan are all elbowing you like AYEEE and itâs cuteÂ
seungkwan serenades you when youâre a little pouty with him and youâre like STOP weâre in the cafeteria and heâs just in his sing-song voice like âi donât care~~~ i love you~~~~â
sarcastically told jun off that one time he tried to ask you to get coffee with him since seungkwan was busy writing for the journal and literally it was like this;
seungkwan: if i had to do a review on your hair jun, iâd give it a bacon sticker because itâs so greasy.â
it hurt jun and he held a grudge for quite a while
as he is with reporting and singing, seungkwan is a perfectionist in datingÂ
and sometimes itâs a bit too much because if he takes you on a date and something goes wrong he blames himself and youâre like âbaby, we donât have to go see that movie. we can just go to the arcade.â and seungkwanâs like bUT i know you wanted to see that movie and you just pinch his cheeks and tell him that yes, but you also wanna kick his butt at dance dance revolution and that gets him fired up
you didnât believe he was good at table tennis until you guys finally had a match and he won even though you guys played like 12 matches and youâre like seungkwan is their anything youâre not good at
seungkwan; hmmm im not good at resisting you?
depending on if you like to sing or not you and seungkwan do a duet during his busking one time and an elderly couple is just like âyou two should hurry up and get married!!â
and youâre like blushing but seungkwan is like âmy ideal wedding would be getting married on the beach at jeju, are you cool with that?â
