seventeen and exams
how i think seventeen will study for important exams
notes: inspired by me, and my friends, who are currently going through exams. tag yourself y'all, im jeonghan
masterlist
Tumblr media
seungcheol:
tries to study rlly hard, spends an hour looking over his notes then proclaims loudly that test scores don't actually matter and you shouldn't base someone's self-worth on a bunch of numbers before throwing his stuff into the air. before he goes into the exam, he tells everyone to not expect anything from him. gets practically full marks. 
jeonghan:
one of those superstitious people who says that eating chocolate before having an exam helps you perform better. the members still don't know whether he actually believes it or uses it as an excuse to eat half a box of chocolate before his exams. meditates (prays) with minghao on the day of the exam. crams in the two days before, pulls all-nighters and is all charged up in caffeine and sugar. scores super high, so does it all again next time too
joshua:
goes round telling everyone to do your best!!! your best is all that you can do when it comes to tests and don't feel bad if you fail, especially if you're mingyu or seungkwan!!!! tutors the younger members in maths/ english when they get stuck, literally looks like a cute nerdy uni tutor when he puts on his rimmed glasses. claps when everyone gets their results, never tells anyone what his were
junhui:
firm believer of Winging It. hoshi swears that junhui has photographic memory or smth bc if anyone ever has a question about the material he answers back in record time despite having not looked at his notes Once ever since he wrote them in class. gets the third highest score out of all of them. is basically a genius trapped in a catboy's body
hoshi:
almost kills himself trying to cram for his exam a week before. lives on energy drinks, cookies and sometimes the carrot sticks that joshua brings him. gets asked by wonwoo if he's slept at all, answers with "red". can barely focus on the paper when he's in the actual exam bc he's so tired. is going to go back into hibernation once he's done the exam, couldn't care less about the result anymore
wonwoo:
he's a nerd, so he gets full marks. makes a three month study plan, ends up only following the first month of it and the last two weeks of it. randomly yells questions at junhui at various times during the day, gets increasingly more exasperated when the guy keeps getting the answers right. stays up the night before the exam playing games, blacks out during the test but still does rlly well
woozi:
he's studying for it, okay, just not as intensely as soonyoung or wonwoo. makes a study plan that's less intense than hoshi's (admittedly, that guy doesn't even have a plan, he's just stu-dying), manages to actually follow through with it. asks joshua to help him with some stuff, buys the elder chocolate after the exam when he does well
minghao:
meditates his way through it. nah, he's studying too. is more relaxed about it, believes that half of the exam is just knowing the right way to word stuff. you could learn half the content and pass with high marks. and tbh, he's right. uses almost exclusively flashcards, carries them everywhere to randomly test himself n others. goes to joshua and junhui to double check his info, makes sure that hoshi's supply of cookies is all stocked up
mingyu:
prays to the gods. he knows he's smart enough to do all this, but has the attention span of a ball of wool and none of it is Staying in his head. steals some of jeonghan's chocolate, cries in wonwoo's bed after he's done the exam saying that he failed it. is pleased when his test scores come back and he finds that he Didn't fail it at all. the little shit smh
dokyeom:
either passes really well, or just barely doesn't make the pass. is practically joshua's permanent student. part-time studying partner of hoshi, part-time breakdown partner of seungkwan. also steals jeonghan's chocolate before the exam. is the most positive when they get their test scores, bouncing around and hyping everyone up so they don't feel too worried
seungkwan:
has a mental breakdown four (4) times while studying. declares himself done with revising a total of six (6) times. his room is a mess of  papers and flashcards. followed the advice of people on the internet and bought a wall-covering whiteboard, which he's covered in red ink and his tears. has one last crying session with dokyeom in the corner of the living room the night before the exam. comes out of the hall saying how badly he messed up and makes the members feel so bad that mingyu buys him ice cream
vernon:
locks himself in his room, has his headphones on his head almost permanently. walks around the living room like he's never seen it before, stares blankly at all the members he encounters as if he's meeting them for the first time. no one knows what he's revising. or how he's revising. practically only comes out of his self-isolation the day of the exam, wishing everyone good luck before gliding out the door like some sort of spirit
chan:
is the one providing everyone with positive reinforcement even more than shua!! hypes everyone up, encouraging everyone to keep going. gives like 5 members shoulder massages every night. no one ever knows when he has time to revise by himself bc he's always sitting with someone and listening to them rant. does moderately well on his tests, is praised endlessly by his members bc they're so grateful for how much he helped them

I'm having some more thoughts, btw if i bother you do let me know okay? :)
BRO I CAN SEE YUKI ABSOLUTELY DRAG VIL.
(there's lots of Vil slander in this ask, i don't fucking like that guy JSHSISGAKAVLMAOO)
Like, if he tries turning him into a second Epel he kinda lets him to a degree, cuz yk he's interested in fashion and stuff but i can see him getting tired at some point, especially if Vil starts forcing etiquette lessons on him. Then things would go south (is that how you say it?? English is not my first lenguage im sorry 😭😭) and they would straight up fight at the dinner table in Pomefiore.
Pomefiore students watching the whole thing unfold:
Tumblr media
I can also see him talk shit about Vil with Epel, those two probably bond over that.
I can see Epel being kind of uncomfortable around him at first, cuz yk his insecurities and shit, but after that they could get along kinda ok, i can also see him asking Yuki to make him outfits that make him look more manly at some point. Idk if Yuki would agree tho, Epel would probably shows him the most stereotypical country boy outfit ever only for Yuki to look at it and phisically cringe, if he does agree tho he says he'll do it only if he can put his personal touch into it.
Yuki would probably make him and Deuce his errand boys for when hes working on costumes, which i can see happening because of Crowley's cheap ass💀
I can also see Yuki drag anyone who insults Muku, Izumi and Yuu.
LAST THOUGHT FOR MY SON.
Him making costumes for VDC wheter it's full on stage costumes or just accessories.
Also, Floyd and Masumi??? I CAN KINDA SEE IT?? idk why tho.
Jamil, Kalim, Izumi, Citron and Chikage going crazy over curry. Mainly the last three but yea, Mankai is begging for help, they'll have to eat curry for the 628363926963926 night in a row now.
Oh, and the music club totally organized a serenade for Yuu/Izumi (i put Yuu there too cuz i'm a shameless Masumi simp i'm sorry-).
Sakyo is the one in charge of the dorm btw, like Crowley randomly made Yuu the "dorm leader" in ch.1 maybe going on a speech about "making the students more responsible" but Sakyo saw through his BS and just told Yuu to let him handle it. They still help out ofc but he's the one that manages the finances of the dorm and stuff.
I can also see the adults finding jobs inside outside of campus too for some reason?? Idk what jobs they'd pick tho. Probably the same as the ones in their og world. The ones in hs and uni attend classes and the ones who work just find a job there.
I also saw a comic where they all went at cotsco so now that's canon cause YOU BET Sakyo wouldn't find a supermarket that sells stuff much more cheaper than Sam's.
ACK AORRY FOR NOT REPLYING! just got my report card today hehe (also club training sobs; ive been elected as an officer so im gonna be rlly busy </3) BUT THIS IS SO FUNNYLIKE IMAGINE THE TWO MOST PRETTIEST BOYS TAKKING SHIT ABT TH E VIL SCHOENHEIT and then rook just joining in randomly while vil just scoffs lmaooo (i swear i dont hate vil) AND YUKI MAKING THE VDC COSTUMES?!?! YES PLEASE ID LOVE THAT A3! x TWST WHEN?! CMON DISNEY!!!

#Knock The Book 2: The Devil All the Time
WELL, I MADE IT TO THE 2nd BOOK REVIEW OF MINE, MEANS THAT I’M A PASSIONATE AND PERSISTENT BITCH, PERIODT. No actually I’m just bored and got really nothing to do, so here I am making judgmental, invalid and uncritical book review just to ease my guilt for doing nothing at home (just so my mom see me working through my laptop).
Okay The Devil All the Time is actually my first English book. The story of how I got this book as a matter of fact is quite irritating and funny at the same time. My uni friend, she saw this book in a modest book bazaar near her hometown. She was reading the title and the word ‘devil’ just remind her of me, she bought it and just gave it straight to me…... I’m sad but like thankful???
It’s a secondhand and hardcover book but I don’t really mind, considering the fact that the quality is still very nice though, except the worn spots stained all over the cover that make the book looks very old. My friend bought this only for RP 25.000, yes dude you’re not misread this shit, it was THAT CHEAP (whoever sell and own this book before me, I really appreciate it). Although if you want to buy the new one, you can get this book for USD 26.95 which converted in rupiah would be RP 407.500, yeah its cost pretty fancy for broke students like us and I don’t know if the book’s supposed to be available in your local bookstore but I think you can find it in worldwide shipping online store like amazon or any other shop perhaps. The book’s cover illustrate a dying white mutt hanging on the ‘log’ and bunch of cross everywhere, the cover is actually make sense when you read the book. It published in 2011 by doubleday in United States of America. The Author is Donald Ray Pollock, and you can find the sum information about his background written on the cover, but based form the book’s cover you can also check his website in donaldraypollock.com but when I checked, I’m not sure if it’s really his website since it just like pest control website (LMAOO I HAD NO IDEA FR). Anyway,
Let’s go breaking down the book!
“… Too much religion could be as bad as too little, maybe even worse, but moderation was just not in her husband’s nature”
The whole story in this book, basically give you portraits regarding the life of lunatics in the time after WWII. Nope, there is no sums up about the events happened in that moment so chill y’all non-historical enthusiast bitches. This book gonna give you a bizarre experience reading it, the first 10 pages of this book was already psychedelic, I assure that shit. Have you watched Games of Thrones series on HBO? It’s chilling right how Ned Stark, the protagonist of the main series died in the first season???? EXACTLY that was the vibes u got after reading the first chapter and get crazier every time u read forward. By the way, this book embodied 7 chapters and 55 sub-chapters, the chapter in odd and even numbers has 2 different main focuses on each characteristic exist, here I sum it up for you:
On the odd numbers chapters (1, 3, and so on), the central story of these chapters is circling among the family of Willard Russel, his Mom Emma and Uncle Earskell and also those 2 insane peeps Roy Laferty and Theodore. Willard Russel used to be a navy army and a bit skeptical dealing with religion issues just like his uncle, but his mom has always been a devoted worshiper. Willard married to the beautiful and kind-hearted women named Charlotte and they was given a son named Arvin Eugene Russel, everything was normal until Charlotte got sick and Willard gone crazy praying to god for his wife’s recovery and poor little Arvin has to suffer the predicament by his own self. Their stories always give me religious-fanaticism-gloomy vibes (is that even make sense??). Don’t even get me started with the life stories of the two brutes-ass man, Roy Laferty and Theodore they were used to be ‘preacher’ in Emma and young Willard’s Church. Nothing I could say further because it’s gonna be a major spoiler for you, but their stories really giving you insights of how frustration and fanaticism allow people to do something beyond their common sense.
“You remember what I told you the other day?” He asked Arvin
“About the boys on the bus?,”
“Well, that’s what I meant, you just got to pick the right time”
On the even numbers chapters (2, 4, and so on), the main tales is pertaining on the journey of Handerson couple, Carl and Sandy. They were like the Bonnie and Clyde but sad and exploitative version in this book. Carl is a ‘photographer’ and sandy working as a waitress in a café called Wooden Spoon (Which the place where Charlotte used to work as a waitress and the place she met Willard for the first time as well). During summertime they got this ‘ritual’ ((but not in a religious way)) where they drive to different states and give a ride to the hitchhikers found on the way, then Carl forcefully offer them to fuck Sandy for free (HIS OWN WIFE) while he took pictures of them fucking and after that Carl kill them and take all the money those hitchhikers got in their pocket (dude I can’t even judge anything). But to be honest, I’m not a fan of these two characters because they were all so ANNOYING to death. And then there is Bodecker Lee who’s a police and also Sandy’s brother, ok that’s it, I’m not gonna give you any spoilers.
“… He went down the street and sat on a bench in a park the rest of the day thinking about killing himself instead. Something broke in him that day. For the first time he could see that his whole life added up to absolutely nothing…”
You might be confused since there are quite a lot of keen characters in this book but there’s a point where all these bitches are relating to each other, so chill y’all impatient gripe-ass. Overall, the flow of the story is undoubtedly interesting for you to keep going throughout the whole story, because every phase gonna make you wondering about next things happened to them. But, the transitions among every chapters is quite uncomfortable for me, because sometimes when the story has reached its climax there is no resolutions coming to solve the problem immediately, and you’re faced to read the new chapter with a whole different setting and characters so it’s kind of ruining the vibes and emotions the book has made me, but again this just my personal preference so please don’t judge (while everything I did right now is judging inaccurately).
“He realized that he would never preach again, but that was all right. He’d never been much good at it anyway. Most people just wanted to hear the cripple play”
However, what I like the most from this book is the deepening of every character exists is so fascinating, even for just the side or supporting character (for god sake I’m sorry idk what to called a character that isn’t the main one), for example a bus driver in Meade, Ohio which Willard talked to when he was on the way home after the war ended, the narration wrapped and portraits the driver’s life perfectly without make us bored, and there’s still a bunch of interesting narration about the life of the side characters in this book that also as odds and intriguing as the main character’s background (jesus, everything happened and everyone in this book is just so strange and peculiar I swear to god). The story finished in a most tragic-beautiful but still gloomy way, even though it’s quite predictable but still a very good closing for me personally. To be noted, on the way to the end of the story, there will be emerge another asshole priest character named Preston Teagardin, ready to shake you up until you finish the book. But still, let’s said this particular ‘last minute character’ has proving that the author is paying so much attention of how the story ended isn’t leaving any 'rush-made' impression (this shit might confused you I’m sorry my English hasn’t got any better *sorry hand sign* *sorry hand sign* *sorry hand sign*). # hashtag attention to the detail bro.
Holy crap, that’s the first time I’m almost able to cut all the bullshit I intend to bring it up here.
This book is one of my top 5 books that you have to read once in a life time (although I haven’t discover the other four, omg im sorry y’all). Little information for you that the first time I read this book (yeah I read it for quite few times) is when the campaign of presidential election era, which in Indonesia the religious are pretty sentimental issues, some of the people in my country suddenly became those annoying fanatical preachers, man I can’t stand it. And this book is just precisely relating to that condition and I get to know at least a glance of what the heck odds things happened in their minds, since you know fanaticism and stupidity doesn’t hit only on particular group of religions, race, gender or anything, we can all be stupid and brainless (especially me because I basically have no brain). There probably quite many scenes that is pretty disturbing to read (I don’t know if people could be triggered by it???? But I guess so) so yeah a bit warning. Overall, I genuinely recommend this book for you guys because every element in this book is almost perfect, the storylines, bold characters, and the RARE AND STRANGE AND SENSITIVE topic promote by the author in this novel is totally a BOOM. Don’t worry reading this book not going to give you those agnostic and atheist vibes HAHA chill I still consider myself a devoted Muslim tho (hashtag masyaallah ukthi).
By the way before I wrapped it up, I hear that this book will be made into a netflix film. WELL, of course I’m excited because the casts are so amazing, and I love Netflix adaptation and I enjoy watch movies as much as I read books (again, unnecessary information of mine *sorry hand sign*). I found that the release date is postponed from the origin plan in 15th May (which is three days ago from I posted this on my page) due to I don’t know perhaps corona because that bitch has ruined everyone in the world’s schedule, but for real I can’t find the exact information regarding to the updated release date, so while you wait the film to launch, why don’t you just go read the book first? I assure you this one not gonna give you any disappointment.
I think that would be it for this 2nd rubbish book review of mine. Although, I think I made a little progressive from the first one (OR MAYBE NOT???? I’M SORRY Y’ALL) but of course there’s still much deficiency I served. Still, I hope my writing get better in the process of making this whole novel of reviewing book inaccurately. To be honest, I wrote this shit not for getting any engagements or audience but for my own satisfied HAHA. So yeah I’m literally comfortable writing for nothing. But bitch guess what I’m just gonna keep going, until I could professionally writing and make it for a living? Well, amen for that.
Xiao, See you in Advance!

congrats on being amazing and i guess also on 5k...i wouldnt be mad if you wanted to write about being co-TAs with Calum and like a lowkey enemies to lovers but its really just theyre opposites that attract kind of ??? does that make sense? i love you 😘
bruh YES. i love you thank you!
okay, rival co-TA’s, i wanted to go with English but i’m not going to cuz yall gonna be decimated by @glitterprincelu‘s upcoming english fic and i can’t even compete
so lets do.... bruh, inspired by @glitterprincelu but lets do Drama TA’s. so you and Calum are stars of your uni’s theatre program which has meant that the two of you have been around each other. your last play you had to do together you played lovers and there was definitely tensions because you and Calum have very different styles of getting into character and learning lines and he can generally be an ass and line snob. so you’ve clashed in the past and when you get assigned to be TA’s for the same drama class you walk in the first day and you’re both like oh NO. 
he comes up to you after class and is just like “dont get in my way when im giving advice to students.” and you meet his gaze straight on like “dont get in my way either.”
but of course the first time the teacher gives you and Calum a sit down read with students together when she’s away from class for a conference, you and Calum can’t agree on anything and there’s a lot of tension. you two really shouldn’t be TA’s. finally, Calum is just like “how about this, i’ll read the part of Danny and you be Sandy and we’ll see whose advice is better yeah?”
these poor fucking drama students watching their TA’s fight i swear to god. so you and Calum go up on the stage and Calum does his little dance shoulder shaking thing to prep and then suddenly he IS Danny Zuko and he’s looking at you like you’re the love of his life and his words are so sweet. but just the same way, you slip into Sandy and suddenly this guy means everything to you.
you’re both so lost in each other, everything else slips away and he’s holding your hand and being all soft and in love and suddenly the scene is over and all your students are clapping and Calum cracks his neck and goes back into douche mode but even he had to admit like, damn you were a good Sandy.
the students agree you were both great and Calum finally gives in and is like, “do my technique or Y/N’s, whatever works for you.” and you’re shocked he actually conceded. after class when the students are gone he approaches you and is juts like, “hey i’m practicing this scene for this audition i have, can you read it through with me for a sec?”
and you say yes because he’s cute even if he’s a dick and begin reading the girls part while he paces the stage and looks super angsty and is confessing his love in the character. you’re reading as you say the words and finally your eyes land on two words ‘They kiss.’ and suddenly Calum is grabbing you face, tilting you up so he can press his lips to yours, arm wrapping around your back to pull you tight against him. and you drop the script and kiss him back because duh. 
he finally stops kissing you and looks down at you and is like, “uh, thanks for reading.”
and you just sigh, “fuck you Hood.”
5k celebration

An English guide to fanfic 1
So I've read a lot of fic set in England lately, by writers who don't have anyone to 'brit pick' what they've written. But everyone deserves to be able to write stuff set in this hellhole of a country so if you don't have/want a brit picker but still want some general advice I'm gonna make a series of posts which might help with making your fic sound a little more natural. I'm gonna start with education because that's the one I've seen people have most problems with.
This is a long post so be warned
Education
There are 3 main parts of the school system (for comprehensive schools in England, I know it's different for rich people and people in Scotland/Ireland/Wales).
Primary school:
Primary school spans ages 4-11 and the years are
Reception: ages 4-5
Year 1: ages 5-6
Year 2: ages 6-7 (some schools make a split after this point, with the younger years referred to as 'infant' school and the older years referred to as 'junior' school)
Year 3: 7-8
Year 4: 8-9
Year 5: 9-10
Year 6: 10-11
A couple of information tidbits:
A lot of schools teach sex education in year 5 and 6. They tell you what sex is and what periods are. The year is split into boys and girls. They don't really talk about gay people, trans people or contraception.
It's not very common now but some schools will do a SATS exam in year 6. The grades go from 1-5 with 5 being the highest. They mean nothing but we all used to get stressed about them anyway.
Kids can also choose to do an 11+ exam if they want to go to grammar school. I never did it so I can't help you there. Some places in the country put more emphasis on the importance of grammar school than others (looking @@@ Kent) and some places don't have any grammar school at all.
Hard hitting insults when I was a kid were things like 'nerd' and 'weird'. We don't really use 'geek' much. 'Damn' and 'hell' aren't swear words here and kids will sometimes say them.
Most primary schools have uniforms
Secondary school:
Secondary school ages are 11-16 and the years are
Year 7: 11-12
Year 8: 12-13
Year 9: 13-14
Year 10: 14-15
Year 11: 15-16
There are 4 MAIN types of secondary school (afaik)
Comprehensive schools (like the one I went to) are your standard school. You just kind of have to live close to it to get in.
Grammar schools work kind of like comps but you have to pass the 11+ exam. Not everyone takes this exam (I never did, my closest grammar school is fuck off miles away). Apparently you get a better education there or something. Idk man but they like to make fun of the local comprehensives.
Private/public school. You have to pay to go to these types of school. I don't really know the ACTUAL difference between private and public but from what I can tell, public is more expensive and fancier. I think their version of primary school is called prep school?? All of the years work differently and every time a public school kid tries to tell me something about their education its gets more confusing. Rich people.
Boarding school. This is basically a private school but you live there and it costs more money than all of my possessions put together. There are quite a few, with some of the most famous being Eton, Harrow, Winchester etc. They are usually either all boys or all girls schools (those three are all boys schools). Rich people.
More detailed infos:
Year 7-9 is referred to as 'lower school' with 10 and 11 being 'upper school'
The exams taken in year 11 are usually GCSEs. These used to be called O-levels for some reason and lots of older people will sometimes call them that by mistake.
Kids choose which GCSEs they want to do at the end of year 9, and start learning the material in year 10.
Maths, science and English are all compulsory and make up 5/6 GCSEs (one maths, two English, two or three science).
Most people do about 10 and can pick from all of the other subjects what they want to do.
We don't really have a 'locker room' culture????
It's quite common for people to go to all girls or all boys schools.
Schools here are nowhere near as big as American schools. We probably won't have high budget theaters or particularly large sports areas.
I've never heard anyone talk about 'funding'???? Just assume nothing is funded, arts and sports alike. We do lots of fundraisers for anything expensive like rugby tours or school productions.
We still have that weird culture thing where like if you're smart then you can't be popular or play sports???? Strange.
Sitting at a specific table at lunch time isn't really a thing. Actually most people brought lunch from home and then would just sit somewhere outside. A lot of the buildings would be closed during breaks.
Not many people really drive to school.
Sixth form/college
After you finish secondary school most people go into either college or sixth form (or a sixth form college). Years are
Age 16-17: sometimes called year 12, sometimes called lower sixth, sometimes called first year
Age 17-18: year 13, upper sixth, second year
Sixth form:
Some schools have an attached sixth form. A variation of the school uniform is often worn, or students will be asked to wear smart clothing or something
There are also sixth form colleges which are a bit more informal, less of a school environment. Students usually tend to wear their own clothes and call teachers by their first names. They're usually viewed as well.
The qualifications earned at the end of year 12 are called AS levels. They count partially towards your final A level grade. Students usually do 4 and drop one at the end of the year. You can do more if you want tho (I did five and died). You can do whatever subjects you want. Like. Literally nothing is compulsory. You wanna do art, music, dance and anthropology? Fuck it why not?
The highest AS grade is an A. B and C is a pass. D and E are fail marks. U stands for ungradable i.e you got so few marks that your exam isn't even worth a grade.
At the end of year 13 you do A levels. You need 3 to get into uni. Some people do 4. They always regret it.
Grades for A levels are the same as AS but they go up to an A*.
Some schools do a thing called the International baccalaureate. I don't understand what it is and frankly it scares me. I don't know how it's graded or what you need for uni. It's a mystery.
Sixth forms can be comp/grammar/Private/boarding same as secondary school.
College:
You can do a bunch of different types of qualifications. Most popular are usually B-Techs and Diplomas.
You usually only study one subject as opposed to four.
From what I gather, the point in doing a B tech is it's more practical and less theoretical and aims to help you get the skills necessary to go straight into the work force.
Unis kind of have to evaluate B-techs fairly, but they don't like them.
Nobody thinks very highly of B-Techs unfortunately bc they're considered to be less academic and easier. Idk if that's the case but there you go. People will sometimes refer to shit versions of other things as 'B-Tech'. For example, Pepsi is just B-Tech Coca Cola. Boris Johnson is a B-Tech Donald Trump.
I know nothing about the grading system for either of these qualifications im sorry.
In a sixth form college there will be people doing A levels and also people doing B techs all in the same building.
University:
I won't go too much into detail but basically you get a degree at the end of it and degrees usually take 3 years to complete. Years are first year, second year, third year etc.
Some courses are longer and some people will do a year in industry in their third year, making their overall degree time 4 years.
Tuition is currently £9,250 per year. I have never met anyone who hasn't gotten a loan for this.
Most people also apply for a maintenance loan. You get money proportional to your family income. The highest is about £8,500 per year. Idk what the lowest is. Some people choose not to take out this loan and their parents give them financial support instead.
The pay back plan for these loans is super lenient, doesn't affect your credit score and is wiped clean after 35 years. Most students think of their loan as more of a tax than a debt (tho we all still cry about it).
People don't live in dorms. We call them halls of residence (or halls for short).
Most people don't live in halls after first year, they leave and find shared housing.
Most halls aren't catered.
Most halls don't have shared rooms.
Because we study so few subjects at A level, we do have this system in the UK where you take a bunch of different unrelated subjects in your first year and then decide on your major later. Instead you apply for a programme already knowing your major. So when I applied to university I applied to the BA French and German Linguistic Studies course at a number of universities.
Different courses have different entry requirements. So it's easier to get into uni to study History than it is to study Maths.
Each 'class' is referred to as a module, and all of your modules are usually related to your main degree title.
Stereotypically STEM students think that humanities students are dumb. Humanities students think STEM students are arseholes who don't know how to read so if you wanna have that kinda jock/nerd type rivalry but in uni then humanities/STEM is quite a good one.
We call all of our lecturers by their first names. Sometimes we go to the pub with them. I watched a documentary about gay porn with one of them. It's chill.
I've never seen anyone show up to a lecture in pyjamas. People would think it's weird.
We refer to clubs as 'societies'. I love being part of the Musical Theatre Society. It's sounds so much more impressive than club.
The English version of Ivy League is Russel Group. The most prestigious Unis outside of Oxford and Cambridge tend to be: Durham, St Andrews (Scotland), Imperial, LSE and Warwick.
Slang and Groups
We don't really use the word 'jock'. In my school we called those guys the 'Rugby Lads' because they all played rugby.
We don't really use the word preppy/peppy whatever because I literally don't know anybody who is like that.
Try 'Drama kids' instead of Theater kids.
The kids who do drugs and don't come to school are called road men. Even the girls. To do road is to deal drugs but you don't really hear people say that much.
If we can't be bothered to say a teachers full title we will usually call them 'sir' or 'miss' but not really ma'am.
'Hall Pass' isn't a thing.
Our school did have prefects but fuck if I know who they were. They didn't really have any extra responsibility or power.
School uniforms are a thing in most schools. The things people did to make themselves seem cool were things like rolling their skirts up super short, wearing the rugby ties on match days, trying to get away with shoes that don't TECHNICALLY break the rules but are deffo not allowed, wearing as much make up as they could get away with, without teachers noticing. Our school was p strict on uniform tho in comparison with a lot of schools in my area.
If your accent doesn't fit the standard for your area it will affect you in some way (depending on your accent).
Homeroom is called registration
Gym is sometimes called the sports hall
People don't really go to school matches unless they're dating sb bc we don't have bleachers.
Home ecenomics was called Food Tech and Textiles in my school
Woodshop or whatever is called DT (design and technology)
People don't get as involved in extracurriculars in school (but they do at uni).
We DO have houses and we get points given to out houses like in Harry Potter but unlike Harry Potter literally nobody gives a fuck. In my school they added a whole new house and moved everyone into new houses and literally nobody noticed and nothing changed.
There is a BIG difference between comp schools and all of the other kinds in terms of culture. I didn't know this until I went to uni and started joking about the time some kid started throwing chairs in RE (religious education) or when so and so tried to set our French teacher on fire and literally all of the grammar school kids were like O.O WTF.
Slang and school culture will also vary a lot depending on where you live. I live in East London which is not a very well off area but it IS in london so my experiences would match with that.
Everything is completely different in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland so like.... Sorry.

Get to know me more Tag
A/N: Tag 10 followers you want to get to know better.  
I was tagged by @dulcet-bts !! Thank you for tagging me lovely <3

Year: If this means school year, I am a college sophomore. (2nd year uni student). Birth year is 1999.
Star Sign: Pisces!
Height: 5′5″
Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 4 songs: I have like eighty four playlists so I’ll do the one I made most recently!  Drippin’ - NCT Dream, OTW - Khalid, Love Lies - Khalid , Lay All Your Love On Me - Mamma Mia.
Grab the nearest book, turn to page 23, what is line 17?: oof my closest thing is a school textbook so I’m not going to bore you guys with that. 
Ever had a song or poem a poem written about you?: pretty sure I had a poem written about me in high school in my AP English class for an assignment.
When was the last time you played air guitar?: this morning probably??
Celebrity Crush(es)?: too many! there is Mean Phiravich, Mond Tanutchai, Plan Rathavit, Park Jaehyung, Jay Park, Kim Woosung, motherfucking Tom Hardy, Tom Holland. and those are just my male crushes. name any female celebrity and I’ve probably had a crush on her at some point. 
What sound you hate? You love?: I hate the sound of people chewing with their mouths open and I also hate construction sounds. I love the sounds of acoustic guitars and laughter.

And then one time I dropped a glass and it shattered and cut my shin. Had to get it glued shut. Still have the scar. And I also have dislocated both of my knee caps. One of those is probably the worst lmao
Do you have any obsessions right now?: writing fanfiction instead of studying. does that count?
Do you tend to hold a grudge?: yes. hella. all the time. i’m so petty

i’ve been laughing at this gif for five minutes straight, hELPSFDKJGSDF
hey guys !! i’m kat, 21 yo struggling uni student from east coast canada who’s whipped for fromis, boa and brockhampton and currently ignoring finals prep in favour of typing my soon-to-be bland and long-winded intro ! sjfkgdf so i’m gonna get to the point as quickly as possible and present my messy sagi baby, zoe who’s kinda just. cracked tbh. you can check out her ( slightly unfinished ) stats HERE, and like this or im me if you’d like to plot !
EDIT: btw, my d*scord's EXO'S BITCH#2030 if anyone wants to hmu over there !
< park jiwon, cis female, she/her, twenty-one > welcome to the witching community of chicago, ZOE RYU ! you’re a HEDGE WITCH right ? some of the locals around here have described you as being RESTLESS and CANDID, but others have said you’re PERCEPTIVE and VERSATILE. i guess i’ll have to see for myself. now, being a hedge witch, i hear you excel at DREAM MANIPULATION. the chicago witching community prides itself on having skilled witches so make sure to keep practicing !  < kat, 21, nt >
so i still haven’t figured out the full backstory with her but i’ll edit this a little later when i have my wits about me sjglfgd
that aside, zoe grew up with her parents in a suburb of halifax, canada and it was a fairly simple life they had — papa ryu's a hedge witch and is just living a chill life as a cop.. just handling a lot of petty crimes and traffic violations bc i’m p sure halifax is about the same criminally as my own province dklgsg
and her mom’s a green witch who’s like, the closest thing to a hippie that you can get given she’s got a policeman for a husband sgkdfjsgfdkl anyways she did her own Thing by running her family’s little garden centre uptown before delving into a venture with a uh, microbrewery 
that whole set up sounds Dumb but. one of her parents has to be cracked like zoe in some ways and it clearly won’t be her dad so ! moving on !
sdfhjhgsh so zoe was a middle child with an older brother and twin smols of opposite sexes, and the only one of the four to end up becoming a hedge witch, or showing signs of becoming one i should say, like her dad ! she was always an imaginative and creative kid — something her mom especially let her expand upon — and a little wise beyond her years
she often had vivid dreams and, in her soon-to-be proven crackhead fashion, would tell them in a dramatic, outlandish way
the bitch was born to be a Loud theatre kid. anyways DKSFGJDSGFK
her dad saw this and other little things as a sign that she might just become a hedge witch like him and was Hyped, so like any proud parent he.......... kinda projected buT with good intentions
ig ?? idk but yeah, a hedge witch she would become sdglkgdk
she did delve into her powers and was interested in being a Good little witch, but she likely didn’t make it her top priority if the rest of this intro will be anything to go by 
her school life was p ordinary, she was extroverted and enthusiastic but so fucking Annoying all the same
performed decently but def excelled in language arts/english. not just saying that bc Me but —
joined the drama club in high school and was a little thespian until she graduated and headed off to uni at acadia for an arts degree !
but after a couple of years, and despite the friends she had there, she took a step back. def the type of person to wanna escape and explore, and her studying so close to home limited her ability to do that
so she moved to chicago like, a couple of months before tr*mp became president-elect bc she would’ve cancelled everything, demanded her deposit back, had she arrived after that SKLDFGSDGFL
her brother had been a little more focused on his abilities than she had been at the time, and had visited a couple of larger witching communities to idk, see what they were like ?? since theirs was quite small in comparison; and he told her about them only for her to decide to check one of them out for a bit
and she picked chicago bc....... tbh she only really picked chicago on a whim, and her weird love for that one episode of victorious with trina doing her one woman show might’ve played the smallest role in it all KDSGJKDSGF
so she’s been here for a couple of years now and had started her studies again a couple of months back at a uni near her little apartment ( haven’t checked out possible places to add to her stats just to have a uni Set, so i’ll do that later gdklsdg )
and that’s really it for her bg !
PERSONALITY, SPECIALTY BG AND OTHER SHIT
so she needs action or something of interest in her life to keep her Up, but the feeling can fade quickly
like i said, she left her province — and country — to experience more, both in her abilities and in general; and while the latter is a little defunct given her time here already, whatever else comes with it tends to keep her from wanting to run off to the next enthralling adventure as soon as she possibly can
she also can’t sit still for v long if we wanna keep this short and show less Grand ideas sgdklfg
given her partially goofy ass, it’s hard to fathom her as being a blunt, serious or even snide person, but she can be given the situation or..... perhaps it’s just how she is in the moment sdjgsfdg
zoe does, however, show her blunt side in a more quick-witted, casual way than serious so it’s unlikely that you’ll see her act up, and uncommon but definitely not rare to see her be mature and handle shit accordingly
idk if that made sense but we’re gonna keep going for now sdgkjgdf
she’s a solid, loyal person, but she’s also quite observant and wise — well, wise when she wants to be anyways
and she’s definitely NOT a mary sue, but she is, as i said in her app, versatile
she’s adaptive in certain settings and situations, she doesn’t limit herself in what she can and can’t do and is a semi-functional multitasker DGKHJDF
the second thing prob has something to do with her ( over ) confidence but anyways
uhhhhh last but not least, she’s a Crackhead.
SFJGDDFSG
she’s a living, breathing level 4 shitposter and my patience is definitely gonna wear thin with this brat, i sweaR
tho at the end of the day, she’s chill despite it. by some miracle at least
when it comes to dream manipulation, she’s always found it to be cool
and one thing that makes it rewarding and interesting is how it would help her little sister with nightmares when she started becoming proficient at the actual manipulation aspect of it
bc who wouldn’t use a power to help a distressed kid :(
eventually it’s escalated to her just chilling with her mom in her dreamland bc phone and skype calls are boring af and not enough for them to be dumb bitches together sdgfklsgfdj
and to just fuck around with her neighbours and what not. in a good way
........ for the most part, the witch can’t guarantee that the rude girl down the hall won’t see her long-time crush run off with zoe out of subtle revenge for knowingly closing the elevator door in her face when she had her arms full of grocerieS —
and while it is.. p invasive, it also fuels her creativity by using some elements as inspiration for her writing 
it’s an ethical dilemma that she wrestles with, rest assured folks
what else, what else.............
she’s good with her family if i didn’t imply it enough
she’s bi but..... girls disappoint her far less than guys so she has a Preference DJFGSKGDKF
likes to act like she isn’t a massive party girl but, she’s a massive party girl
how else will she release her pent-up energy ?? sgkjhgsdj
loves garlic fingers, but bc america’s behind on shit from what ik, she’s as disappointed as i am that she has no access to them
spits.
honestly, she’s just v atlantic canadian when it comes to food, her fondness for fog and the ocean and neither are Really a thing in this part of the states so she’s struggliNG still
uh, feels like the only one who’s following a more...... human life path, one not as connected to magic as other witches she’s met, and feels a tad embarrassed bc of it, but it’s what she feels most comfortable with
loves horror movies and halloween, is That bitch who laughs at the former and goes all out with the latter
thinks virginia woolf is a legend and is Right in doing so SGKDJFGD
idk what else to add so let’s end it here !
forgot to mention that i don’t have her plots page finished, so i’ll link it when i do !

Coffee Shop
Pairing: Taehyung x reader 
Genre: College classmate AU, fluff 
Word count: 813
Author note: First ever fanfic that I’ve written, probably insufficient but I’m really glad that I have finally make the last step (to post) as I’ve been writing and deleting stories since quite a long time ago. English is not my first language so please bear with my poor language and grammar skills. Hope you like it! 
Summary: that one guy who always orders hot chocolate in the cafe you’re working in catches your attention every single time he enters the shop. Little did you know that he’s actually in the same uni as you are in, where you constantly wants to leave but not when he is there. 
Being a barista is fun. It had always been a dream of yours to set up your own cafe one day when you’ve graduated from the university and maybe, have work enough to raise the capital you needed for one. But no, this job ain’t exactly that fun when you have to fight over sleep, be awake by 8AM every weekend, to work in the cafe two streets down the road from your dormitory where you have to walk to reach there. 
To be very honest with yourself, the cafe itself isn’t that bad at all. The boss is kind, the staffs are friendly as they are all around your age and hey, the biggest privilege a cafe worker gets? Free coffee! who wouldn’t want that? 
As a 24/7 sleep-deprived, stressful but (still) sane university student, you’ve decided that you will never ever say no to free food, especially free coffee thus quitting is strictly not an option. 
Once you’ve clicked-in your attendance in the clock-in system, the next thing to do, is to grab on your own customized apron (yes, you get to sew your name on it!) and make yourself a cup of extra-ice extra-caramel macchiato. Slurp on it and enjoy the peacefulness before the madness crushes in - the hectic lunch hour.
The early hours are usually quiet, unlike during normal weekdays where white collar workers can be seen, walking in to get a cup of coffee or grab a sandwich for themselves before heading to work. However, one peculiar boy always shows up at these hours, during weekend, in this shop. 
‘Welcome’ you greets the first customer who walks in with a tiny smile, that one customer who you got so familiar with as he visits every weekend morning. He walks up to the counter as usual with a backpack slinging one strap on one shoulder, silver-ash colored hair messy but still killing the look with plain long sleeve tee and sweatpants on him. 
“hot chocolate with extra marshmallows?” you speaks when he reaches the counter. Surprised, he looks at you for a few seconds before regaining his composure. “y-yes please, thanks” he beams you a smile. 
“no problem sir, we will serve your drink once it’s ready so please do have a sit at wherever you desires” you replies with another smile, reflecting his bright ones. “the name is Taehyung, call me Tae, Y/N.” Your eyes almost pop out from the sockets, shocked by the fact that he called your name. “w-what, how did you know my n-”
“relax, you have your name on your apron girl.” he chuckles at your response. “ah..” what a stupid response, you think to yourself, speechless at how surprised you yourself got.
Embarrassed, you quickly hand over the receipt to Taehyung and moves yourself to the mixing station. He sees the blush on your face, can’t help but smiles at himself before walking towards a table next to the counter. 
Taehyung takes out his notebook once he settles down on the table and within that short period of time, you’ve already finish preparing his drink. While serving the hot chocolate, you recognize the web page he is surfing on as it is the web page of your university. 
“seems familiar huh?” Taehyung notices what you are doing but remained unfazed. “I-Im so sorry I didn’t mean to..” you caught by surprise once again, not knowing that Taehyung is watching you when you’re staring at the web page on his notebook.
“nonono, it’s alright Y/N, I am just kinda sad that you didn’t notice me in your class.” You swear that you would have spilled the drink if that sentence comes out before you steadily place that cup of hot chocolate on the table. 
“wait what?!” you asks in bewilderment at his words. “Y/N, we are in the same psychology class and you always sit in front of me but I guess you never know my existence since you never look back once you starts to take notes, you’re like a typing machine do you know that?” he jokes lightly and grins. 
“what? are you being serious right now?” you replies and chuckles back at his remarks. “Im so sorry as I really didn’t know that there is such fine-looking boy in my class, gosh” you grunts jokingly to express your frustration. Taehyung is definitely caught off guard by your comical reaction as he burst out laughing at it even though he tried to hold it back. “well, thanks for the compliment cutie” 
Your face blushes at his words and just before you turns your back, heading back to the counter, Taehyung grabs your wrist lightly. “Guess I’ll see you in class?” he asks nervously, has no idea why his heart beats faster than usual. 
“yea, definitely Tae” you reply along with the sweetest smile Taehyung has ever seen in his life and heads back to the counter.

Thank you for loving my writing!! ❤❤ Sorry this took so long, i’m in the midst of all my final assignments and midterms at uni right now, but here you go!! It’s a bit more friendship with a hint of potential future relationship so maybe i’ll do a part 2 sometime later on if you’d like? Enjoy! 
Kuanlin college!AU (that kinda wasnt a college au, idk i got a bit sidetracked by basketball lmao)  ALSO HAPPY BDAY KUANLIN BBY HOPE UR SWEET SIXTEENTH IS LOVELY LIKE U KIDDO
Tumblr media
he’s well known around campus as THE international student 
like a guy who appeared from a manga/manhwa, he has godly features and proportions
just a very perfect looking human
He’s also the guy that still seems to be having a growth spurt because you swear he’s taller than he was a month ago
Has a keen interest in languages, so he’s doing a double degree in Korean and English
People’s first impression of him are always that he’s this really cool guy
He has this signature outfit of a bomber jacket and ripped jeans
and sunglasses
Everyone’s eyes are always drawn to him immediately
“he looks like a celebrity!”
as soon as he took off his sunglasses and sat down, he gave everyone this cute gummy smile and introduced himself 
Despite his fashionable attire, he’s rather introverted and sticks to the same group of friends
The first time you met was in class at the start of your first year
you were running late because you had gotten lost because there had been a mistake in the timetable
you had made it in the correct building but it was seriously like a maze
and there was like 2 minutes left until the lecture would start but you were still so lost
1 minute to go and you were about to give up
when Kuanlin strolls past you leisurely
He’s about to turn the corner when he glances back at you
“um…”
you glanced over at the sound of his voice
“…if you’re looking for the lecture room for korean, it’s over this way…”
You thanked him in relief and followed him around 2 more corners before making it to a seat just in time for the lecture begin
After the lecture was over you spotted him leaving and you had rushed over to him
“Hey, thank you so much for showing me where this room was, you’re a life saver!”
He had looked away and you saw a slight pink flush light up his cheeks
“Happy to help.”
Your resolution when you were beginning college was to make lots of new friends so you decided, hey why not start now
“I’m Y/N by the way, it’s nice to meet you!”
As you introduced yourself, the two of you walked in step with each other
Turns out you do almost all the same papers as he does
The two of you end up just having this sort of silent seating plan
Like it randomly started one day and since then the two of you have always sat next to each other
Round mid semester exam time, the two of you would study together in the library
You’d take turns buying each other coffees
Kuanlin has remembered your coffee order in one go, much to your surprise
He gives off a very innocent vibe despite his mature appearance
He also tends to be very focused, and will always keep his emotions in check
Unlike you, because during exam time, u were streeeeesssed out
A complete contrast to Kuanlin’s very calm soul
The only times he breaks free from the calm is when he finds something funny
Like he’ll break out into this cute breathy laughter that’s super adorable
Because he’s an international student, he struggled to settle in at first at college
but after joining a few clubs and being introduced and meeting lots of nice people, Kuanlin really thrives in the college life
There is this really prestigious basketball team at your college - “Wanna One” and every semester they participate in a tournament against other college teams
Wanna One’s biggest rival is a team called “Mnet” (lol mnet, what a punny bball team name)
It’s such an intense competition as the winning club gets a huge benefit
like helping funding for national and overseas tournaments, helping paying off college tuition fees, getting more exposure to professional basketball scouters etc 
It’s tough though because Mnet is a team that tends to play dirty and will try to dramatise anything so the other team will get fouled (can y’all tell im having way too much fun with this)
A few of your friends, and friends of friends are in Wanna One
So you went to the tournament to cheer them on
You noticed from the crowd that there’s a new but familiar face in the team
The arrival of the new maknae, the hidden ace, Lai Kuanlin
No one outside of W1, as well as yourself had ever seen him play basketball before
so everyone’s a bit worried because the stakes on the game are so high
but those worries were all put to rest as soon as Kuanlin stepped on the court
The star shooter of the match, he didn’t miss a single hoop and ended up being the player who raked in the most points helping W1 claim victory
After the game, you, Wanna One and all their friends went to a karaoke place to celebrate
You were sandwiched between Daehwi and Jisung who were singing their hearts out to some girl group songs
Everyone’s laughing and having a good time
But then you noticed Kuanlin surrounded by all these girls/new found admirers
And although he looked slightly flattered by the situation he also looked very uncomfortable due to the sudden attention on him
You weren’t too sure if you should intervene or not, and just as you decided you were going to say something, Jisung shoved the microphone into your face forcing you to sing with them
After many more songs, you decided this would be a good time to go outside to get some fresh air and a break from all the ruckus
“Y/N? what are you doing out here?”
Kuanlin was sitting on a bench outside the karaoke place
“I thought I’d take a break from the noise, it was getting stuffy in there…what about you, you’re the star of the night, you should be in there celebrating with the others!”
“Same as you, the craziness was getting to me”
You gave a light pat on the back, “Things wont be that normal for you anymore, you’re practically a celebrity!”
Kuanlin had just hmm-ed in response, getting lost in his thoughts again
After that day, you didn’t see Kuanlin as often anymore, which surprised you
it was weird and out of character of him to not have him showing up to classes
and there was always one empty seat next to you, which made your heart ache a bit?
you felt sad that you hadn’t been able to see him at all recently, and he had been extremely slow in replying to any of your messages
Turns out this applied to all your friends in W1 too
You found out eventually that they were preparing for the big national tournament in the coming month, so they were too exhausted to go to class
Videos were popping up on snapchat and facebook of them practising late into the night/morning
sometimes only getting 1 hour of sleep every night, maybe less
you were so shocked, your friends were being overworked like crazy by their coaches, but they just kept smiling and saying that they’re happy
Your birthday comes round, and you decided that you were just going to have a small gathering because all your friends were busy
You sat in the dorm corridor with a small group of your close friends
As you blew out the candles to your cake, you couldn’t help feel upset that none of the boys had been able to make it, or even respond to your invitation
You knew that they’re incredibly busy, so you’re annoyed at yourself for blaming them
You forced a smile onto your face and thanked your friends who had showed up, and after digging into the cake, you all retreated back into your rooms
The clock on your desk ticks away, and as it hits 11.59pm, you sigh
For some reason you had wished that at least Kuanlin could’ve turned up for your birthday
You had stopped denying that you missed him dearly
you missed his voice and his laugh
and his friendship
you also missed that warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach whenever he smiled at you
A few tears roll down your cheek and you wipe them away angrily
Why are you getting so worked up over a boy? 
A boy who is just a friend
Just a friend who bought you multiple coffees
and took notes for you in class that week when you were sick
and accompanied you on late night walks to McDonalds
A sharp knock on your door echoes through your room
Looking at the clock, it’s 3am, and you realise you fell asleep
who tf would be knocking at 3am tho
It’s saturday night, so you’re scared it’s some drunk person causing a scene so you stay in your room
Another knock, but this time a voice rings clearly with it
“Y/N? Are you awake?”
You go over to the door, and after a bit of hesitation you open it
Kuanlin is standing there, holding a present and looking apologetic
“Surprise! Happy Birthday Y/N!”
“You’re three hours late.” you turn your back on him and return to your room with him following behind
“Oh cmon, dont be like that, haven’t you missed me?? Me and the guys are sorry that we couldn’t make it earlier…”
silence
“Y/N? did you hear me?”
He turned on the light and looked at your face clearly
“oh…Y/N, are you crying??”
You shake your head angrily but there’s no denying the tears running down your face
Kuanlin is so concerned, and pulls you into a hug
“Hey, hey, hey it’s alright, what’s made you so upset?”
You hug him back, clinging to him, your anger evaporating at the close proximity
instead your heart is now pounding at an insane speed and you can feel the cheeks starting to heat up
“I just…I’ve just really missed you, you idiot”
you try to disengage yourself from the hug and hide your face but Kuanlin just wipes away your tears gently with his thumbs before pulling you closer and patting your hair
“I missed you too Y/N, a lot.”
He pulls away slightly and hands you the present
“The basketball season is drawing to a close, so we get to go on a break for a few weeks, I just thought I’d come let you know in person and give you this at the same time.”
His face is tinged with pink and he scratches the back of his neck in embarrassment.
After unwrapping it you see it’s a beautifully and intricately designed necklace
You marvel over it as it sits delicately in the palm of your hand
He’s still nervously looking at you trying to assess your reaction
“UH…if you don’t like it, there’s an exchange card in the gift box, so if you don’t want it you can change it to something nicer at the shop just in case you -”
“Kuanlin, it’s beautiful, i really love it”
“YOU DO?”
this boy had spent hours at that shop trying to find that freaking necklace
and every single member of W1 had seen it and reassured him that you’d like it
but he was still nervous af the poor kid
He took a deep breath to try calm himself down as he took the necklace from your hand and signalled for you to turn round
you did and he gently pushed your hair to the side
his fingertips brushed your neck as he put the necklace on you and you couldn’t help but shiver
Suddenly his arms wrapped round your waist and you were enveloped by his warm body
“Y/N…Happy belated Birthday.”
After Kuanlin left that night, you lay in bed replaying the scene over and over in your head
Something about your relationship with him was different now, but in a good way
Playing with the necklace still hanging round your neck, you smiled to yourself
Who knows how things will go from here, but right now all you can think about is the next time you’ll see Kuanlin and how much you liked being in his embrace
huhuhu i always struggle to end my AUs and they turn out extra mushy, im sorry! I’m going to try really hard to do at least one update a week, but because my final exams are coming up real quick I can’t promise anything! Remember, if you’ve sent in a request, I will put them up on my masterlist as soon as I’ve seen them, so you can check if I’ve received them/if i’m working on them there! Once again, thanks for reading!! xo
