just the way i perceive renjun in college, slight noren
renjun would be saving the second he came out of the womb
eager to study in the united states
at mit or berkeley or stanford
during high school he’d always ditch parties
to buy a shit ton of books to read
but i feel like he would also be that kid in high school
that is always at a party
but is the most successful person you knew
would be doubted by a ton of people
he’d really just want to explore space
and find new connections towards the way the universe is
or how much it can change
i feel like his biggest supporter would probably be chenle or jeno
cause all his other friends would be like
“listen, we know you’re brilliant, but your goals are a little high, dontcha think?”
but he’d never let it get to him cause he knew he’d follow his dreams
and jeno would spend weekend after weekend with renjun trying to apply for nasa internships
or studying the equations with him
chenle would be a third wheel who had no clue what anything meant
but he’d read off notecards and quiz renjun over the things he already knew
constantly having the two of them sleepover since they spent so much time in renjun’s room
sometimes they’d bring a ton of snacks and find themselves talking
when renjun left for the states, it’d make everyone scared for his
but his two best supporters would be most emotional
however smiling with a thumbs up as they sent him off
at first, he’d feel totally empty and alone
and he’d want to come home
it’d be such a new environment
always calling jeno every night
sometimes he wouldn’t even say anything
jeno would keep the line busy with his lame jokes
and his words of encouragement
and the promise to come visit him as soon as possible
and renjun would just love to hear that from jeno
he’d make a few friends in the states
he’d go out mainly on his own
he’d spend hours outside at his favorite time of the day:
endless equations racing over his mind
his second year would be a lot less worrysome
sometimes dragging chenle with him
who was just as impatient to see how his friend was doing
his class schedule would be so packed
sometimes he wouldn’t even realize how busy his schedule was
and wanted nothing but to lay in his bed
but he’d drag himself to attend anyways
with his roomate, who he rarely talked to
sometimes he’d talk to him about his favorite thing about space
but his roomate was never interested
renjun would always be up late
always asking for iced coffee late at night
getting strange looks from people around him
he’d probably hate studying in his dorm
since he did it for years back home
crammed in his small room, the sleepy bodies of jeno and chenle
while he tried to solve another problem
he’d want to be somewhere else on campus
somewhere particularly where he wouldn’t see his roommate
or have to spike a conversation with anyone
eventually gets accepted into a nasa program only a few years into university
where he takes the opportunity,
and eventually gets to see the stars upclose
knowing that his two best friends were more than ecstatic for him
