nct dream as seniors in highschool
you know that overachieving friend in middle school that falls behind in high school? that’s him
you’d think he’d be pretty sad about it but no, he thinks that for once is good to be just average
he overreacts to anything, he’s always laughing and clapping his hands, but if you look into his eyes you can see how dead inside he really is
the first one to break near the exams
keeps yelling about how he’s not gonna make it when actually he’s been studying for months and got everything well revised
you get instant anxiety by osmosis if you touch him
one time dropped his coffee on the ground one week before college entrance exams and he just sat next to it laughing hysterically
renjun outside: guess i’ll die then // renjun inside: ha i’m already dead
half of the time he’s asleep, the other no one has any idea of what he is doing
skips class by going to other classrooms and having class there instead of his own
no one ever sees him on the afternoon classes
somehow has grades high enough to pass without taking a supplementary test or whatever
the teachers don’t even know his name except for the arts teacher. he was basically adopted by them.
honestly not even his classmates are sure of his name
no one even knew he was an artist till the art teacher themself commented something about it
would totally cry at literally anything before the entrance exams
he’d be up all night crying and revising physics
“i dont even know why i’m doing this crap, i want to do art”
“omg but i won’t ever be able to do arts i don’t study crap” [starts crying]
renjun after the exam ended: its finally over its okay im free // renjun at the same time: [freaks out and can’t stop crying]
that one classmate that takes nice notes and sends it on the class’ group chat
his notebook is so pretty and he even makes summaries for the upcoming exams and lets everyone take a look
honestly the only good person in the class
looks like he has everything under control but his pretty notes are just a way to overcompensate how much he doesn’t know shit
his grades are pretty shitty but the teachers still let him pass because they know he tried
stress eats crunchy vegetables like carrots because they “calm him down”
gym is his stress reliever, except that it doesn’t work that well
the weeks before the entrance exams he was like a battery on steroids (one little noise while the teacher is explaining things can set him off)
has never shut his mouth once in his life
its especially evident during the debates. he loves speaking his opinion LOUD and clear
but he’s nice so you don’t really hate him
ok here we have this thing called dia d (d day), in which every month the 3rd years pick a theme and wear costumes about it during a whole day and donghyuk would TOTALLY OWN IT
no one dressed better than him. no one. his costumes are always the best.
spends the first period on the bathroom doing everyone’s make up and won’t leave till everyone looks great
the teachers already gave up on telling him to be on class on time
he just shows up on the second period, hands full of make up and wearing a nice ass costume, and goes ‘what did i miss?’
stress eats and gets really bitchy near the exams, walks around with all the books he can get, reading and shoving useless things inside his head because!!!!! he has to be ready!!!!! stop breathing around him he’s studying!!!!!!!
jaemin,,, he’s a mess. a complete, total mess
but everyone looks at him and thinks “mood”
and he’s nice and all but actually befriend him? imagine the emotional toll
he would deadass call you at 4am because he has no money left and wants to buy m&m’s
goes to school wearing flip flops but is always barefoot
the teachers love him and he always talks to them during classes
brings a huge thermal bottle full of coffee every. single. day.
the only thing you ever see him eating are the sweets someone in the class sells
the type of person that, as we say here, would clap to the sun
gets money by selling crafts online
would ignore the exams until the last second because he’s not sure it matters??? i mean he wants to go to college and all that, but he’s just not sure it’s something he has to do now
never wears the uniform, shows up on the first day wearing a hoodie and sandals and no one says a thing about it
those nike sandals. you know the ones. with socks.
doesn’t even bring a pencil to class
goes to the secretary in the middle of a class to ‘get a pencil there’ and comes back 30 minutes later
sits on the back during the classes he doesn’t like
talks and laughs loudly but no one calls him out
no one even knows it’s him tbh they can only see the cute and pure baby from when they first met
sometimes goes to other year’s classes because the teachers love him and don’t mind
sits on the teachers chair while obnoxiously slurping water with a straw
“don’t do drugs kids, do college entrance exams, that’ll fuck you up twice as much”
keeps saying that “highschool is all about the experience, making friends and memories, we’re still young, we’re allowed to make mistakes” but the only reason he’s like that is because he’s just numb. he sees a test or mock exams and just goes lol and dabs away
had too much sugar to keep him up during the college entrance exams and blacked out as soon as he got home
“we have geography today??? what do you mean we have a test today?? didn’t we have one last week???? what do you mean the college entrance exams are tomorrow, november didn’t even start???”
that kid throwing stuff around in the back all the time
is always asking the teacher if he can leave to “drink water” even if he has a full water bottle on his dark
has no fucking clue what he’s doing with his life, or how he even got to senior year
makes the teacher repeat the question a thousand times when they call him out to answer something
his notebooks are filled with random stories he’s writing. but no school notes. never school notes.
accidentally talks back at teachers
has to cram in. every. single. time. before the final exams
has no idea how he graduated, he’s pretty sure the teachers were tired of dealing with him already
