reaction part 1 to nct dream 8th anniversary friendship dice video

can you believe they've been together for 8 years? and they're still so young? wow

aw it's a board game! i do like games

standee renjun returns. is that a new 7dream jacket?

ducklings

jaemle already on their shenanigans

he looks like that meme of steve carrell michael scott going "i love you guys so much" because that's essentially what's going on

but yeah he was talking like it was their last time together lol

they have words on the back of their jackets but i don't know korean so i'll have to wait for them to explain it lol

haechan: didn't your bangs change? jisung:

mc haechan <3 he's really good at herding the dreamies together isn't he

what was all that about asking jisung about a horse lol

mark: this is a group game chenle, competitive: the FUCK?!

ohhh the horse is the way they refer to the playing piece. they're using renjun as their moving piece haha.

first challenge is to do a video letter for czennies. starting off emotional with the soft bgm lol.

i think mark wanted to whisper something to jisung so that was why he stuck super close to him. anyway, summer of marksung!!!

the challenge was to pop balloons by hugging haechan: *hugs mark* chenle: mark and haechan go mark: no one asked me???

voluntold

it ended up being haechan and jeno

man goes for every opportunity and good for him

lol

jeno ended up having to lift haechan to squeeze the balloon properly and haechan would scream every time the balloon popped XD already starting off wacky

next is for the guys to fling their shoes at the target

mark discovered that jisung is left-footed

jaemin's shoe kept bouncing backward lol

apparently out of the six of them chenle is the lightest?

haechan are you shy????? chenle was pulling at his clothes to show the belly button like in the demonstration lmfao

next challenge is doing keep ups

they put haechan at the end so i guess he's a soccer fiend :P i know he and jisung are both soccer fans

haechan bullying jisung about whether he can get even one in ^^;;

of course, just like his namesake

haechan got only 7 (versus jisung's 10) so of course he has to give him shit

jeno was dragging renjun like this and mark was like nooooo

looool guessing chenle's bubble messages 🤣🤣

LMAO local idiot crew

whatever is going on with chenle and haechan

haechan, chenle, and jeno watching the other lost losers lol

mark the remaining lost boy lmfao

jeno trying to help by guiding him in the right direction

lol in the next game they have to sing the english lyrics in korean (i.e. translate the english sentence into korean)

oh there is A LOT of english in smoothie

LMAO after they moved on from the member quiz, jaemin was like "what difficulty are we on?" and the guys were like bro what is up with your sloth ass reaction time we're already done this game

chenle started out being super confident about what mark said in the jisung coming of age video and then over time he started readjusting his confidence level lower and lower lmfaooo

getting a thwack for confidently being wrong

lmaooo there's no stopper on the wheel so it's just gonna go on forever

LMFAO cheaters

random play dance challenge

oh true one of them said that they danced hello future during their concert. so i think it may not be as hard to recall some of their older songs if they're been rehearsing it for the concert. that being said they do have concert versions that aren't the same as the original choreographies.

lol jisung just froze during glitch mode

jump rope challenge

210630 | REACTION to 🌈'Hello Future’🌈 MV | NCT DREAM Reaction

[fcxryzen]

WHEN YOU PULL HIS PHOTOCARD

info: boyfriend!nct dream x gender neutral!reader, reaction, fluffy comedy, 0.6k words

warnings: mentions of hello future ( putting this as a warning because ‘hippie core’ is cultural appropriation of indigenous and eastern cultures and hello future is all about the whole ‘hippie aesthetic’ )

MARK ꕤ doesn’t know how to react.

when you told him he was just kind of like “oh cool.” and went back to whatever he was doing before — he really didn’t think it was a big deal

“whatever, i pity how you don’t understand and appreciate your own beauty.” you said, doing a fake hair flip and walking away

later he gets freaked out when he sees his face on the back of your phone

“mark, it’s fine, lots of fans do it.” but it isn’t fine, mark gets nightmares now just from seeing himself going 🙂✌️

RENJUN ꕤ doesn’t think it’s a big deal.

when he heard you squealing in the other room he didn’t think much of it, he just thought you were having a fan moment until you ran into his room

“i acquired the goods!” you exclaimed, holding the pc up high so renjun could see it nicely

“i can’t see that far doofus.” okay, maybe he couldn’t see it that nicely

watches as you rush towards his side, rambling on about every little detail of him and making him smile, thankful you paid such close attention

JENO ꕤ is just confused.

“jeno! baby look it! i got your photocard!” you said, showing it to him, he takes a closer look, nodding before walking off to the fridge

your hands drop to your sides as you follow him, watching him make a bowl of cereal for himself “are you serious?”

looks up from his bowl, pure confusion on his face

“ughhh.” you say, laying your forehead onto the counter. “why did you have to be blessed with humbleness.” you say, making him laugh

HAECHAN ꕤ is cocky about it.

you were out when the package arrived, and he knew how excited you were about it, so he texted you, “hey babe your album is here.” which almost immediately got a reply from you. “IFHEKSBSJSNS REALLY OKAY ILL BE HOME SOON!!1!1!1!1!1!1!👍👍👍👍”

he smiles at your silliness before he sees a new message “and don’t open it😑😑😑”

he opened it<//3

when you get home he’s sitting there, photocard in his hand while he has a smirk sitting on his face

“*sigh* ..you’re sleeping on the couch tonight.”

JAEMIN ꕤ just smiles.

you both got a hello future album, your reason being you wanted to support your boyfriend, and jaemin’s reason being he wanted to look at his handsome self support his friends

you two put the extras to the side and flip through the pages, the occasional “i like how the makeup team did his makeup.” and “ooh, you look so nice there!” being mixed in a hand full of times

when you got to the extras and pulled out a jaemin of you got so happy, which made him smile

gets the wind knocked out of him when you tackle him <//3

CHENLE ꕤ seems unfazed.

when you told him you got him he just kind of shrugged, confining to scroll through his phone

“chenleee, c’mon, look,” you say, holding up the photo “look at how handsome you are, look at it!” you exclaim, climbing onto him and pushing it in his face

starts to tickle you until you both break out into a fit of laughter

then he cuddles you, placing a kiss on your forehead “thanks for raising my confidence y/n.” jdhejsbdbsnsn😔💔

JISUNG ꕤ is surprised.

“what? you got me? :0” even when you show him, he still doesn’t believe you

starts to get side tracked “wait, this is really tiny.” he says, holding it up against his hand. you sigh, dropping your head onto his shoulder. “i know.”

doesn’t really talk about it anymore, but whenever you bring it up he just kind of malfunctions

“oh right- i forgot about that.” he says, standing there like a statue ( he really said 🧍 )

Hello! I'd like to request a small reaction about how nct 127 members would react to their s/o to tell them they're pregnant.

Thanksss

Hi my angel! ♥️

Yea!! I hope you like it and ask for more <3 Sorry if you don't like it :( i was sick, but I did my best! Thanks for sending a request✨

How NCT 127 Would React to you telling them you’re pregnant ☁️

Haechan: When you say you're pregnant, he probably won't believe it at first, because he knows he's careful enough about it. But when you show the test confirming that you two are really expecting a baby, he will quickly hug you jumping with joy because of the news. Even young, He will do everything to be an incredible father.

Taeyong: He would be so moved that he would step away from you so he could cry out of emotion in the corner. He would take care of you like a fragile flower, because he can't even imagine what you go through every day, he would make all kinds of food, buy everything you need, caress and comfort you when you have any kind of pain.

Jungwoo: "will we have a little one of us?" He will be so happy and anxious that he’ll be calling you all the time to be able to check that you are fine, ruby your belly and talk to the baby. He loves the idea that in a few months he will have a baby, the fruit of the love of the two of you crawling around the house

Yuta: Will smile from ear to ear, he can't wait for the child to be born so he can play, care, protect and be the best father in the world for that child. Maybe he couldn't even sleep with so much happiness inside him, dreaming and waiting for the days and months to fly by, to soon have the two loves of his life around, you and the baby.

Taeil: At first, he would go directly to a children's store to buy a shirt written "Daddy loves me". He would tell the news to all the members of the group along with a photo of him with his hand on your tummy. We can say that he was so proud that it seemed surreal that this all is happening.

Mark: "baby, it can't be real, we used cond-, oh my GOD". You took him by surprise, at first he’ll be worried if he would be a good father, since he is always working twice as hard, but after you calm him down, he can only think of a beautiful future with you and his new favorite person.

Johnny : Even though you're afraid to tell him, because since you can't predict things, it's kind complicated to manage anxiety and worry in this situation. But when you announce the news, he will be paralyzed from head to toe, with heart racing. He can't wait to learn more from you and explore this side of pregnancy, he's not afraid because he knows he'll be a great father.(I can already say that he will do everything for you and the child, right?)

Jaehyun: First of all, he always wanted to start a family with you, by that I mean he always dreamed of being a father, you can see that when he interacts with kids and you think it's the cutest thing. So by far this would be the best news of his life. He would tell everyone that you two are expecting a baby. He’ll be playful, loving, caring father, buy everything for the child and say "who is daddy's princess/prince?", and will learn all the popular lullabies so he can help you put the baby to sleep.

Doyoung: He would definitely be waiting for this day to arrive soon and when you reveal it to him about the baby, he hugs you so hard that you can barely breathe. "Love, I thought this day wouldn't come anytime soon, I promise I'll make you and the baby have a perfect and comfortable life." After a few minutes of the news, he would already go to the nearest store to buy a book, something about "understanding pregnancy"

| summary | When Aria's with her boys, it feels like the sky's the limit.

| word count | 2.3k

| warnings | none

| era | circa. June 2021, filming for Hello, Future music video

The grass in the empty stadium had been liberally covered in fake flower petals - the healthy green of regularly watered grass slowly becoming overshadowed by the light pink and yellow that settled lightly atop it. 

The white corduroy overalls that Aria donned were splashed with colour in fake paint splotches to compliment the petals - yellows and greens and pinks mixed with blues and oranges in a jumble of streaks that were stark against the otherwise plain material. The Doc Martens that all eight of the members had been fitted for were all padded at the toe and the heel - lest the hard rubber break away skin and cause them to bleed during filming.

Aria crunched several petals underfoot in the heavy boots as she wandered over to the other boys who had been released from hair and makeup a handful of minutes before her. 

The sun was just reaching it’s highest point in the sky, the heat bearing down onto her exposed midriff and almost entirely cancelling out the cool breeze that threatened to rise goosebumps on her stomach. The floaty, bell-sleeved crop top was, in Aria’s opinion, absolutely gorgeous. She had already planned out the best way to corner Heejin unnie - one of the stylists that had an especially soft spot for Aria and her pout, when used effectively. 

Shaking her freshly dyed blue hair out of her eyes, Aria broke out into a light jog to catch up to Renjun, swinging an arm around the boy’s shoulders. 

“Hi!” She smiled brightly. 

Renjun wrinkled his nose at her playfully. “Hey. You done in makeup?”

Nodding, Aria replied, “Yeah. They wanted to touch up the colour in my hair and stick a couple more tattoos around.” She pointed to the new daisy sitting underneath her eye, and the Make Peace, Not War written in differing fonts along her left forearm. 

He aah’d exaggeratedly, patting his own upside-down HELLO on his arm absent-mindedly, before frowning lightly. “Is your colour coming out already? I thought they only dyed it a couple days ago.” Lifting up a hand, Renjun brushed away the strands in Aria’s fringe that were falling into her eyes, cringing lightly when they came away covered in blue residue. 

Aria pulled away from his fingers, shaking her fringe back into place. “They didn’t have any dye left, so it’s hair chalk.” She explained. 

Renjun made another noise of understanding, looking at his smurf coloured fingertips thoughtfully. When his eyes flickered up to meet Aria’s, they had a mischievous glint in them, and she barely had the chance to turn on her heel and break out into a run before Renjun was giving chase hot on her heels. 

“No!” 

“Yes!” 

Her boots were beginning to rub the skin around her ankle raw, still not broken in enough to stand the test of a sprint through a football field, but Renjun was behind her - holding up his hand threateningly - and that was enough to keep her powering through the burn.

“Stop it!” Aria panted, laughter beginning to soil her already failing lung capacity. Her pace was lagging, but much to her relief; so was Renjun’s. With a final burst of energy at seeing the ground she’d gained on him, Aria made her escape attempt-

Only to be captured by Jeno, strong arms wrapping around her waist and swinging her around in a circle to be plopped right back down in front of a now jogging Renjun, an evil smile on his face. 

“Lee Jeno!” Aria protested, wriggling against the arms that had yet to release her. “Let me goo!” 

He deigned not to respond, but Aria could see the matching glint in his eye, and she resigned herself to her fate. He shared a nod of understanding with Renjun who was advancing slowly now that his victim was immobile. 

“Renjun.”

A small smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. 

“Renjun, I’m sorry.”

His smurf-hand raised threateningly again. 

“I’ll do your dishes for a week.” 

With a final step, Renjun was now within a half-arms distance from Aria. 

“Jenooo-” Aria cut herself off with a squeak, as Renjun dragged his fingers over the bridge of her nose, leaving behind a trail of the blue hair chalk. Aria flailed in Jeno’s grip, but he held her fast, even going so far as to tug her down into his lap on the ground to hold her steady. 

Now entirely stuck, Aria resorted to flailing her limbs as much as she could, which really wasn’t a lot when Jeno tucked her legs beneath his knees, trapping her with all four of his limbs as Renjun rubbed the rest of the hair chalk off of his fingertips and onto Aria’s nose and cheeks. 

Revenge enacted, her attacker eventually settled back onto his heels, fingers now chalk free - having spread most of it over Aria’s face as a replacement for blush. 

Aria let out a small sneeze when the loose dust tickled her nose, blinking harshly in surprise. 

With her eyes closed, she couldn’t see the hand Renjun held to his heart, or the pout that Jeno’s lips formed at the cute sound. The two men peered up at each other, silently agreeing that: Yes, it was unfair that she looked so tiny and cute with blue blush. Sometimes, life wasn’t fair, and it was coming for Renjun and Jeno’s heart in the form of a very tiny girl with a blueberry nose. 

With a pat on the arm from Renjun, Jeno released Aria from his grip who promptly turned around and rained a series of light smacks onto his chest, only stopping when her rings snagged in the necklace he wore. He made no effort to help her, asides from holding her up when he accidentally leaned back and nearly took her down with him. 

“Traitor!” She declared once she had untangled the jewelry. For her own revenge, she ran a finger through her hair to collect the chalk and smudged the colour onto Jeno’s cheek in a bright smear. 

The shocked look in his wide eyes was enough to have Renjun coughing out a laugh, the other two soon following. The patch of grass they had settled onto was far enough away from the filming location that there were no petals to hinder Aria’s plans of laying down onto her back, hands splayed over her stomach as she laughed along with the boys. 

“Guys!” It was Mark’s call that drew their attention away from the coloured chalk - although Renjun did let out another snicker at the light blue cloud that Aria’s hair left on the grass where she had been laying - and together the trio made their way back over to the other five members. 

When Jeno and Renjun got distracted in comparing the temporary tattoos they had both been decorated with, Aria slowed her pace enough to let the two wander ahead without her. 

She slid her focus away from the duo and towards the group that had settled in between the flower-covered goalposts, some standing, some sitting.

The bright colours of this concept was a nice change, Aria thought. She loved doing sexier concepts - don’t get her wrong, she loved the empowerment that came with it, and the twitter reactions were always fun to scroll through - but she’d missed this kind of bubble pop. Songs that made something uncurl up in your chest, complemented and encouraged by all the bright colours and messages. 

When Aria had read through the lyrics the first time, she’d never felt like she’d loved a song more without hearing it. They meant something, especially to her. 

Hello, Future; and all that.

And the costuming was always so fun. Short skirts were never the most ideal things to dance in, and the heeled shoes were the bane of her existence (no matter how good she looked in them) so the sturdy boots and durable overalls was a welcome switch-out. 

Her boys looked happy with it as well.

With Hot Sauce, there was an infinite amount pressure to get it right. It was the first full album that NCT Dream was going to release, and it was 8DREAM. They had Mark back. They were all adults at that point. There were expectations to meet. They couldn’t pass things off as being children anymore; they had millions of eyes watching them, and it was like having someone breathing down your neck. 

The pressure just kept mounting and mounting until it loomed over them all like dark clouds that you could just know held heavy rain. It was like they were debuting all over again. Re-debuting as eight again. Aria doesn’t think she remembers a single thing from the set at all. The whole thing is just a blur in her memory. 

Hello, Future, this time around, is different. The members had gathered in the living room around Donghyuck’s laptop when the Hot Sauce music video aired, watching as the views racked up and positive comment after positive comment poured in. They’d read through each and every one, Mark and Aria translating the English ones that the others couldn’t read. 

If Aria cried, one arm wrapped tightly around Jaemin, with the other held Mark’s right hand in his lap, then no one commented on it. It could be, because they had tears of their own in their eyes - but no one can say for sure.

They ended up sleeping on the floor that night, laptop discarded on the couch that was stripped bare of pillows and throw blankets. Curled around each other - this time with her head on Renjun’s chest and her stomach monopolized by both Chenle and Jisung lying horizontal from each other, Aria felt the tension and the fear that had been teeming underneath her shoulders for the last two months abate. 

The terror that if the album had flopped, then they’d be facing disbandment like so many kneitzens wanted. 

Or worse: Dream would keep going, but they’d lose Mark again. 

Even the thought made something horrible curl up in the pit of Aria’s stomach. 

No. 

Never again. 

The odd sleeping arrangements were not something that were uncommon in the Dreamies dorm (Honestly, Aria can’t remember the last time she had slept alone in a room, let alone a bed. They had a system worked out for when someone genuinely needed time alone, but otherwise, most bedroom doors remained open all night.)

This time, Mark was forcibly settled into the middle, everyone clamoring that he’d missed out on nearly three years of them - and he wasn’t getting ride of them that easily again. 

To his credit, Mark went without much argument, although that probably falls down due to the fact that god, he had missed them too. 

Over the weeks of practicing together, re-working the choreography for the songs that had been released when Dream was seven members only, they found their rhythm again. The one that they had lost in 2019, the one that Mark had taken with him when he’d graduated from the group.

Finding it again felt easier than breathing. 

Aria thought she’d never get to see her boys smile so brightly as they did together again, giving the colourful flowers lining the grass a run for their money. 

From her position a ways away from the group, she watched as Chenle immediately launched himself at Jeno as soon as he was close enough, tackling the older boy onto the ground where they both landed with a thud, Chenle’s head whipping backwards with the force.

She watched as Jeno - ever careful - had tucked a hand behind Chenle’s head to catch him even before they started to fall, his hand taking all the impact as they came into contact with the ground.

Jisung was quick to clamber up, eager to pull Renjun over to Jaemin and show him what they had been doing. She watched as Jaemin held up a small crown made of the fake petals, held together loosely by the short strands of confetti that were scattered around the goalposts. 

Mark was leaning his back against the post, head tilted down onto Donghyuck’s shoulder. Donghyuck was watching Jeno and Chenle wrestle with each other - cheering for one or the other, depending on who was winning at that exact moment. 

Aria watched as Donghyuck slowly slipped into silence, tilting his head down to look at Mark’s peaceful expression as the eldest seemed to almost doze off on his shoulder. 

And, she watched as Donghyuck lifted his eyes, flickering from each of the members. His eyebrows furrowed, scanning the group again before he craned his neck towards the rest of the field.

When his eyes locked onto Aria’s, he raised an eyebrow, but deigned to stay quiet - choosing against startling Mark with a yell. His expression was enough, though. 

Donghyuck understood Aria on a certain level that she thought not a lot of people could. She had a unique bond with each member of Dream, but Donghyuck sometimes knew what was going on in her head before she even did. 

Which is why, instead of teasing her for being an introvert, or running away; when Aria strolled up to join the group he just extended the arm that wasn’t wrapped around Mark’s waist, beckoning to her.

After being firmly tucked into his other side, Aria curled into his chest with a sigh, shivering lightly when the sun slid behind a cloud for a brief second and the air felt cooler than it had all day.

Feeling her shudder, Donghyuck tilted his head down to look at her the same way he’d looked at Mark a moment ago, before pressing a kiss to the top of her head. 

“You okay?” 

Aria nodded. “M’okay.” 

(Donghyuck didn’t realize that his lips were blue from the chalk until Jisung pointed it out, some thirty minutes later.)

part 1 reaction to nct dream's our dream day in the US #2

Woo! Part 1 was super cute, and I think part 2 will be too based on the montage

Markren: We're going to Georgetown Jisung: When I become famous, I'll build a Jisungtown Mark: In Korea? Jisung: In Europe Renjun: Cute~ He's their baby <3

Jisung: I'll have a JS street Jisung: Only INFPs can walk on it Mark: A bit much

Jisung suggesting doing the First Snow challenge video outside

Mark was thinking of Candy

Photographer Jaemin paired with model Haechan :3

Lol Jenle bumped into someone who asked who they were and then they showed the person their Youtube page

Chenle: It feels different to be abroad Chenle: To me, Korea is abroad too Jeno: It's your second home

Haechan and Minjae at the hotel bar >3

Jaemin sulking about Haechan not paying attention to his antics Haechan, in English: Jesus

Talking about muscles again X'D

LMFAO Mark going on a SPREE inside Ralph Lauren without telling them he was an ambassador for them

More outdoor photoshoots with Nahyuck

Jenle waterside photoshoot lel

LOL Squid ink + corndog

Jeno: Why are you trying so hard

To be honest have Nahyuck ever done anything together alone?

Lol they had their customer service smiles on when the server was talking to them

Jaemin angry that Haechan went ahead and drank without making a toast first

Sweet boy wants sweets

More photography. Photographer Jaemin in action is really fun to watch :3

Chenle falling in love with the doggo

LOL Haechan's vivid deja vu about Nahyuck video content

Haechan is an extrovert who gets along better with introverts :3

I think Dream's English is probably pretty good. They are good at listening but I think they understand social cues well too.

More MBTI science from Nahyuck

Jeno caught a wild Jaemin and got him to take his photo

Lol multiple models crying today (Haechan and Chenle). A combination of opening eyes for too long and the sunlight I guess?

Both Chenle and Jeno getting their pants wet from the grass ^^;;

Bother bother

Jeno is right, that water path is perfect for bike rides

The way Jaemin does that photographer thing of praising his models

Losers XD

I wonder where Haechan went off to since he abandoned Jaemin lol

And now Jeno's abandoned Jaemle

So Jaemin is saying about 5% of photos are good enough for exhibiting. Meanwhile, I just screenshot everything.

Jaemin and Chenle bumped into Mark, Renjun, and Jisung. It's time to get their photos taken >3

Jaemin and Haechan's were worried that the people who didn't know them would not pay attention to them during their performance and just occasionally look up from their phones lol

Original lineup was Broken Melodies, Hot Sauce, ISTJ, and Hello Future, but Renjun suggested Trigger the Fever over Hello Future, and Beatbox was added

Jaemin and Haechan have been saying they are similar other than the extroversion/introversion difference

Photographer Na always on the clock

Jaemin is crying too? Is the weather really that harsh?

When you become a photographer, you have to become a stylist too it seems lol. Mark needed to fix his hair.

Awwww Jisung told Chenle to do a kitty smile

Ah yes, I remember Chenji's trip to Busan where Jisung was photographer

LMAO Jisung is so dramatic

Markmin in the background doing their photoshoot

Chenle IS being very obedient X3 Somehow he's not like this when others take his photos, but also Jisung is the only one who has so many directions.

Jisung is soooo proud haha

Meanwhile Chenle's like "...boring photos are ok"

Mark letting out the wildest scream while climbing onto the rail, he was so 大驚小怪

Lol vibes too cute X3

WAIT T_T Why is he getting so deep

So he was saying that on instinct, he thinks about what he and the other person can gain from each other. I wonder if there's anything lost in translation. Like is this only to do with physical things, or intangible things as well?

Ohhh I wonder if this is like, a habit gained from stardom at too young an age :S Like when you're a celebrity, you worry about what people want when they try to get close to you

Jaemin and Haechan agreeing that they're most comfortable with the members, and don't feel like they need anything from each other. That's good but wow what brought about that interlude ^^;;

Getting the shot

Mark: Should I jump? Jisung: Nooooo don't do it Chenle: You can do it!!! But don't do it Chenji literally the devil and angel on your shoulders

Chenle: You won't get hurt but you might die Honestly maybe that's the lesser of two evils

Jisung: Do you know why guys have shorter lifespans?

Miscellaneous Interesting Things I Found In This Song:

Difference between 살펴보다 & 살피다:

Both mean to 'look'

However 살펴보다 is a compound verb comprising of 살피다 + 보다

살피다 = To look

Therefore 살펴보다 gives the meaning of to look more closely/ to examine.

Both practically mean the same thing.

GRAMMAR:

ㄴ/는 것 같다

It seems that….

I think that….

To express a guess that has some substance to it. The speaker is fairly certain of the facts.

Usually something the speaker knows but doesn’t want to seem tactless or blunt, the speaker is trying to be polite.

Speaker is politely and gently giving their opinion

Can also be used to express that the speaker has already experienced something.

Note: ㄴ 것 같다 Shows past tense for verbs

았/었/ 했 는 것 같다 Shows present tense for verbs

ㄴ 것 같다 present tense for adjectives.

To say I thought that, I felt that: Conjugate ㄴ/는 것 같다 into ㄴ/는 것 같았어(요)

Examples found in this song:

Oh 내게도 온 것 같아 Oh I think it came to me too

너에게 취한 것 같아 I think I’m drunk on you

ㄹ/을 것 같다:

The speaker is less certain of the facts

A vague guess

The speaker is being presumptive about the future

with a noun = N + 일 것 같다

ADJ./V = ADJ./V + (으)ㄹ 것 같다

Examples found in this song:

가슴이 곧 터져 버릴 것 같아 I feel like my heart will burst soon – it seems like my heart will burst soon.

I will be creating a separate grammar post for the grammar listed above, otherwise this post would be too long!

However I'd like to recommend a youtuber that covers this topic and her video is really good! It helped me grasp the topic and she gives a really useful and in depth explanation with great examples!

Check out this video on Youtube by youtuber Korean Jream

“Korean Noun Modifying Form ~(으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ, with 것 같다 | Intermediate Korean Grammar"

There we go everyone study list complete! I hope you had fun studying with musical monday's and found this post helpful. Did you like the song choice? I hope so!

As always everyone

Stay safe, have a beautiful day, and Happy Studying! X

Na Jaemin as your Ex (Clarity Oneshot)

NCT 127 // NCT DREAM // WAYV // Clarity Main Masterlist

A series of oneshots for different groups, for each member, wherein instead of them being your boyfriend, how they will be as your ex.

Nana

if you knew how his nickname would stuck him

and even become a meme

you would’ve put a copyright claim

get rich

and start your own company 

it all started out when you didn’t know that you were a lightweight

and a specific na jaemin

decided to take you out for some drinks when you finally went legal

the same day he did

because nothing shouts more ‘soulmates’ 

than having the same birthday

“To us finally being 20″

“To the both of you hopefully not being arrested, happy birthday you Two.” You, Jaemin, Johnny and Jaehyun cheered from Mark’s little toast. The bottles clicking at the center of the table followed by a sip.

2 bottles later, you could barely understand what you’re saying. 

The only reason you could even recall what happened is because Johnny filmed everything. Because, what else would you do if your friend is the most drunk you have seen in their life? Film them for future use.

The day after, which was already 1pm, you woke up beside Jaemin. You were hugging him as if he was that bear he won for you at the fair. Arms draped over his chest as you snuggled close to him.

Jaemin’s arm was served to be your pillow, the other one being stretched out while his legs were on top of yours while the other on top of the pillow as if he was stretched over the bed.

Or so you thought.

“Look, if you guys still won’t wake up I’ll start pouring the vase water over you.” Jaehyun’s voice said, your eyes fluttering open to see him crouching down to both of you. 

You groaned as you stirred, realizing you were hugging Jaemin, which in instinct you slapped his chest hard enough to get a reaction from him. This was nothing new, you may lose to Jaemin when it comes to his words, but you were definitely neck to neck when skinship is the competition.

Jaemin stirred as your hand connected to his chest, mumbling incoherent words that both of you doesn’t really cares what it meant. You were already sitting up and rubbing your eyes when Jaehyun stood back up. “I would let you guys sleep but you are occupying the space.” 

“What?” You asked groggily, not really catching his words and understanding him at the same time. Jaehyun handed you a glass of water and some medicine, and a few moments later, everything starts clearing up and you found out what he meant- you and Jaemin were at the living room.

Jaemin managed to sit up himself and you give him the pill and water, which he downed slowly. Jaehyun taking the glass back and disappearing from the kitchen. 

The both of you managed to make your way to the couch, fondling with your phone while your head rested on Jaemin and in there, you saw the groupchat exploded of videos of you. 

There were others but it was mostly you.

In it, you saw yourself doing the karaoke with Johnny, challenging Mark to a dance off, playing a game of ketchup with Haechan and everytime he would slap your hand (which wasn’t even that hard and would often miss as he was also drunk) you would let out an angry sound and slap his face, which was also not doing much as you missed.

You then stumbled on the video of you back at the karaoke, a mic on your head as you pointed at Jaemin, who was now knocked out sleeping on the table. 

“TO MY BIRTHDAY BABE, THIS SONG IS FOR YOU!” You then proceeded to sing the Batman theme song, replacing the ‘Batman’ to Jaemin. Shouting the words “Nanananananananana, Jaemin!” Making it sound like the Perry Platypus theme song instead.

Since then, everyone around you started calling him Nana

You thought Jaemin would be bothered by it

but instead, he find it really cute and endearing

if anything, he was bothered how other people would call him that because originally

he wanted that nickname to be just for you

but then he realized how, he would always have a piece of you in that way

oh how things have changed

The Realization

“You should rest up, it’s getting late.” You said through the phone as you yourself made your way to your bed with your eyes already half closed. 

“I couldn’t sleep without you.” You just groaned at Jaemin’s cheeky response, already pulling the blankets over you as you snuggled yourself with it. “It won’t take long, maybe just 30 minutes and I’m home.”

“Stay in the dorms, get some rest already.” You mumbled, the phone on the verge of falling from your grasp. “I’ll visit tomorrow- or later, it’s 1 am.”

“I’m on my way there. I love you!” He said enthusiastically, followed by a bunch of kissing noises, only making you hum in response. Muttering an ‘I love you’ back before turning the phone off and falling fast asleep.

When you woke up in the morning, you felt Jaemin’s arms wrapped around you. Causing a smile on your face, rubbing his hands rested on yours stomach before lifting it up to place a kiss on it.

He stirred a little at your actions, before pulling you closer to him and burying his face on your neck. “Keep sleeping, it’s still night. The moon is fooling you.” You chuckled at him, caressing his hair as you decided to stay in bed for a little while. 

“Okay you could stay here, let me make breakfast. I’ve been wanting to eat some pancakes.” Getting out of the bed was a struggle, but with Jaemin it was a nearly impossible task.

When you finally stood up, you head to the kitchen and on the counter, was Jaemin’s keys, phone and wallet and on the chair was his bag. You didn’t mind it, walking deeper to the kitchen to make breakfast.

And as you were mixing the ingredients, Jaemin’s phone continuously pinged. And again, you didn’t mind it. It was normal for Jaemin to not mute the groupchats he was on, which really gets irritating when it’s night and you’re sleeping- or trying to at least.

But then, the phone started to ring. After pouring the mixture into the pan, you decided to pick it up after seeing it was Jaemin’s manager. Wiping the hands on your apron, you slid the answer button. “Hello oppa, Jaemin is still sleeping. Maybe I could leave a message for him? Or just tell him to call you back?”

“Ah yn-ssi, yes, just tell Jaemin to call me back when he’s awake. Isn’t it a little bit too late for him to still be asleep?”

“It’s okay, oppa. He got home late anyways.”

“Oh yeah I forgot about that. Well, tell him to just call me back.” After agreeing and exchanging another pleasantry, you remove the phone away from your ear and without even noticing it, accidentally read the messages his manager sent.

“Yah Jaemin, the company really doesn’t like that you’re not listening to them, especially when it comes to yn.”

“I told them that there’s nothing wrong with it but they wouldn’t listen.”

“I told you don’t be too occupied around your phone, the dance instructor feels very disrespected and reported you.”

“Jaemin-ah, you have to reply.” 

“Jaemin your relationship with yn isn’t really much of a problem only if you remember you’re an idol and at the moment, your career is your priority. If you continue messing up the company will cut you.”

“Answer me please.”

When Jaemin woke up, the pancakes were burnt.

The Breakup

“Jeno, is Jaemin around?” You greeted Jeno, giving him a hug as you saw him about to exit the dorms in his biking gear. 

“He’s in his room I think, no one is around too.” Jeno gave you a knowing smirk, you replying with an eye roll. “I’m kidding, I’m going to head out. I think I’ll be back in 3 hours or something, are you going to stay for dinner?”

“I don’t think so.”

--

The smell of Jaemin’s shampoo welcomed you in his room. On the bed, sat Jaemin along with the stuffed dinosaur you gave him for his 16th birthday in his arm while he was fiddling with his phone.

Upon seeing the smiling pink and green creature, the idea of breaking up with Jaemin became harder than it already is. You remembered how long you and him have been together, how even before he auditioned you were already there for him. 

After reading those texts, you remembered your promise to him- how you would do anything to make sure he would have a great future. The entire week, you acted cold and distant so he would get used to you being not there around him, but in all honesty the person you were preparing the most was you.

Jaemin for an entire week was confused, not knowing what put you in a grumpy mood. That was the first week he didn’t slept beside you, but always made sure to write you paragraphs of how his day went before he could sleep.

Jaemin doesn’t deserve to have you. 

“Hey, I missed you.” Jaemin said, in a normal voice and not in his usual baby-ish voice. 

He immediately stood up and after pulling you in for a hug just did you snap out of your thoughts. Wanting to push him back but not having the powers to do so and instead, you pulled him closer to you.

With his arms wrapping tighter around you, his head resting on yours as his thumb rubbed your back comfortably, you started to sob. This was the last time he will hold you like this, this is the last time you will be held like this.

You didn’t even know that you were already sobbing, Jaemin taking this as another difficult day in the office and was just mere frustration or even pent up anger. 

You finally managed to pull away from him and before Jaemin could even say anything, you held his face on your hands and pull him in for a kiss. One he returned with so much love and care you could taste it.

You broke the kiss, wiping the tears away from your eyes and after breathing deep- “Let’s break up, I’m moving. My family is moving to another country, I’m sorry.” You really were.

“What? I don’t understand, yn don’t joke like this.”

“I’m so sorry, I’m always going to be your number fan. I love you, nana. Please take care of yourself.” You turn around and left in a haste, Jaemin chasing you out but gave up as you held a cab.

You just lost the love of your life.

The Aftermath

brushing off jaemin was hard

but after 2 months, he sent a final message to you

“Yn, I really don’t know what happened. I don’t know if it’s because of something I did or me itself. Still, I want to apologize. I don’t know how many times I need to say it for you to take me back but I’m really really really sorry for everything I ever did. But like you said, I need to take care of myself too. I can’t always be crying and thinking of you when you don’t even know me anymore. I just want you to know that despite everything, I still love you and I always do. Nothing will change that. I love you more than I could ever express, but I have to love me too knowing you’re not there to do that anymore. I love you, yn. Be happy, thank you for everything.”

you were itching to reply and say nothing was his fault

and to say how much you love him too

but you couldn’t

not when he finally could move on from you

the message didn’t do much but hurt you more

jaemin doesn’t have any bone in his body to hate anyone

especially you

and like you said to him

you are his biggest fan

you still watched their lives, interviews- everything

8 months has then passed after the breakup

and now, you gradually see the glow back to him

he was happy again

your nana was back

only, not for you

We Boom 

“Did you guys sent this?” Renjun asked, examining the bouquet of flowers he picked up that was waiting outside their dorm.

All of the boys shrugged, Renjun opening the door to their dorms and once inside, examined the card attached to the side. Reading it out loud for everyone “Hi dreamy babies, congratulations at the success of your new album. Please take every time you could get to rest and eat, treat yourself some ice cream~” 

All of the boys inside smiled to themselves, the short message causing everyone to grow more curious as to who sent the flowers. Renjun then handed the flowers to Chenle, who passed it to every member who wanted to examine it themselves which then landed to Jaemin. “You guys don’t mind if I keep this in my room right?” Everyone agreed, Jaemin happy as another touch of color was added to his and jeno’s room- placing the flower on jeno’s side of the room.

After taking a shower, he went to his bed and as he was fixing the flowers on the nightstand, the letter fell from the wrapper. He was about to put it back when he caught a glimpse of the content.

He couldn’t mistake it, it was yours. 

2 Weeks Later

After your breakup

and how sudden it was

dreamies didn’t really contacted you

you weren’t on their good graces anymore

which is why jaemin didn’t said anything upon seeing your handwriting

it’s just a flower, it’s nothing

but it was definitely not nothing when the smell resembles the one in your room

and as the flower started to wilt, he thought

fuck it

but not that hard because nana could never

“The flower you gave me, where did they came from?” Before Jaemin could even think further, the message was already sent to you.

Yn wouldn’t respond-

“Why?” 

Ever since the breakup, this is the first time you replied. And it was fast too.

In an instant, Jaemin sent a reply. “They’re dead, I like them.” Again, his phone was on his hands, thinking if your reply was something he imagines but after another reply of yours, he was sure he wasn’t.

“I’ll just buy you a new one.”

“How are you?” 

--

You contemplated if you should reply, you shouldn’t have replied in the first place. But it was as if your fingers were moving on its own as it typed a reply and sent it.

“I’m okay, congratulations on your new album.”

“Thank you. So about the flowers, where did you get them?”

“My grandmother grew them, she said you looked really good and wanted me to give them to you and the others.” 

--

Jaemin chuckled at this reply, remembering how your grandmother seemingly loved him more than you.

Jaemin wanted to ask if your grandmother knew, but opted out of it as this is the first time he talked to you in a while and don’t want to ruin anything. 

While typing a reply, a new message appeared. “I’m sorry for everything, for causing you so much pain. But seeing you now and how good you’re doing, I’m also so so sorry for saying I don’t regret anything. If I knew in the past breaking up with you would get you to where you are now, I would do it again.” 

Reading your reply tore him, though still confused him. “Is that why you broke up with me? Because I still don’t get anything.”

“Maybe we should talk this out? I think it would be better. There’s this cafe 2 blocks away from your dorms called Clarity Coffee, my treat.”

Jaemin thought about it hard. He remembered how much pain you caused him and how the breakup negatively affected him, and now that he was finally back on track he couldn’t imagine going back down there.

But it was you, and he could never say no to you.

After typing an agreement followed by the time, Jaemin only had one thing in mind.

He won’t come back all sad and broken like before, because you’re back, and that’s what matters.
