& the whys and hows ;
a starter for @vcareum !
fidgeting nervously, daehyun listens to the instructions and he exhales, uncertain if he’s relieved or more nervous that they’ve been ordered to discuss their motivations and thoughts. on one hand, it means that he doesn’t need to talk about the material that he doesn’t fully understand, or try to motivate himself on a topic he’s not sure about. on the other hand, it means that he needs to discuss his non-existent motivations. why is he at victoria college? his application had been full of rubbish and pretty words, a tale spun to please the evaluators... not something he had actually meant.
a sigh leaves his lips and he seeks out a familiar face, hesitantly scooting his chair a tiny bit closer. “nuna? areum nuna?” he asks softly, turning wide brown eyes filled with pleading. “would you partner with me for this?” he’d rather admit his failings and shortcomings to someone he knows a little bit, than to someone he doesn’t know at all.
