¤ ā treasure āļø college life
wc + genre/trope + cast + warnings āļø 3k words worth of slice of life: college au edition. ot12 nonidol!treasure. not proofread. lowercase intended. like, one mention of alcohol & an implication of needles, but i think thatās all?
request āļø hey jia š i was wondering if i could request one of those bulletpoint lists for what you think ot12 treasure would be like as college students?
directorās notes āļø hi anon! i lost your ask (and numerous others) bc tumblr was being stupid, but i managed to save part of the original draft for this one in my notes app, so ty for requesting this <3 college auās are one of my favorite tropes of all time, and i love college-centric stuff in general, so i mightāve gotten a little carried away bc i thought about this concept a lot,, even before i got the request :] i tried to use a variety of fields of study when assigning them to members (since i didnāt want to fall back on something music or performing arts related for everyone), though i had a little bit of trouble with deciding how to place certain members since i was still brainstorming while working on this </3 i also kinda cheated with junghwanās bc it felt kinda hard to assign a field of study to him as heās younger than me. iām not fully happy with this because i feel like i strayed at some parts, and i couldāve worded things better, but lmk what you think! hope you enjoy :>

ā choi hyunsuk / ģµķģ
i could go on for literal ages about my reasoning for this, but i can totally see hyunsuk studying fashion/apparel design.
sometimes he loses his focus in his general classes & ends up sketching out a new idea mid-lecture out of boredom, but he works even harder so he doesnāt fall behind.
at this point, he knows all of his friendsā measurements by heart because he always manages to convince bribe them into modeling the clothes heās working on, whether itās for an assignment or something heās making for fun.
he loves trying out new styles & customizing all of his own clothes. he most likely has an instagram page to showcase all of his fits & his customization work, while his saved posts are organized into lookbook folders & inspiration boards.
if inspiration strikes, heāll stay in the design studio as late as he can & wonāt rest until heās satisfied with whatever pieces heās been working on. showing up to the first lecture of the day w/ a cup of coffee in his hand is pretty common for him.
he works part-time at one of his favorite department stores, which benefits him since it means he gets first pick when they get new shipments and he gets an employee discount on his own purchases. he probably offers sneaker customization services to earn extra money on the side too.
ā park jihoon / ė°ģ§ķ
i feel like jihoon would have gotten into college with a sports scholarship or smth but chose to study broadcasting.
in class, heās simultaneously proactive & serious, asking all the questions he wants to, no hesitation at all. heās committed to trying his best to stay on top of his studies.
heās definitely juggling a lot, but he wants to enjoy college life while being dedicated to his future, so heās trying to find a way to make things work around his busy schedule.
as a member of the soccer team, he climbs the ranks pretty fast. heās scary good, so no oneās really all that surprised when he gets bumped up to the position of team captain in his second year (or when they find out he has a fanclub š).
he works part-time at the shopping center; specifically at a smoothie bar that just so happens to be right across from where hyunsuk works. the two of them usually hang out or annoy one another whenever theyāre on their breaks.
on top of the other stuff jihoonās got going on, heās also part of the broadcasting club. he always seems to know whatās going on, so if you need the details on something, heās your guy. he could probably recite the morning announcements with his eyes closed if he really wanted to.
ā kanemoto yoshinori / éę¬č³å
ø
yoshiās main focus is studying education because he wants to be a teacher, but he also minors in the fine arts :)
everyone you ask will tell you that he suits his major perfectly. heās got a perfect balance of patience, care, and drive to work around whatever problems that come his way.
ļæ¼heās a babysitter in his free time; half because itās a job where he can be somewhat flexible with his availability so it works w/ his schedule, half because he simply adores kids.
when it comes to balancing his job with school, he sacrifices some of his sleep here & there, but heās very thorough. he gets shy, but if he needs clarification, heāll ask for it, and heās actually pretty good at explaining things too.
maybe it has something to do with his major, maybe it doesnāt, but yoshiās responsibility isnāt something that goes unnoticed. whether itās school-related or not, itās easy to see that he can keep his cool even when in stressful situations.
once in a blue moon, when his friends succeed in dragging him out to a party on a night heās not working, heās almost always the designated driver, but he doesnāt really mind it. he doesnāt really like to drink to begin with, so making sure that everyone gets home in one piece is fine by him.
ā kim junkyu / ź¹ģ¤ź·
i canāt really explain how i came to this conclusion, but i feel like junkyu would do well if he was studying psychology.
in his first year he was probably a dorky but adorable freshman with an undecided major. people seem to find that his clumsy, shy personality only adds to his charm, so itās not surprising that he has admirers.
when he gets a little bit confused in class, his usual choice is to bite his tongue rather than ask a question. junkyu wonāt ask for help until he reaches a certain point, he opts to keep trying on his own until it gets too much for him.
more often than not he gets roped into things by his friends. sometimes itās a party that they want him to go to, sometimes itās being hyunsukās model for new clothes. willingly tags along every now and then when yoshiās babysitting, solely because the kids are sweethearts.
heās stealing even more hearts as a resident assistant in his second year. despite his shyness, heād end up being close with all the residents. itās hard not to like him; he makes people feel comfortable. most of the time heās laid back & has a hard time saying no, but he still tries to be responsible & enforces the rules, even if he doesnāt always like it.
ngl, he may or may not have applied for the RA position at first because heās a homebody & he thought he could use it as an excuse to stay in the dorms since his friends always try to drag him out. still, heās someone you can always rely on. he might joke around & act like heās annoyed, but heās not. he likes to make himself useful if thereās an opportunity.
ā takata mashiho / é«ē°ć¾ćć»
in my mind, mashiho wouldāve gotten into uni on a full-ride sports scholarship & winds up studying sports medicine while double minoring in kinesiology & culinary arts.
all of his professors are quite fond of him. heās another one of those students that actively participates in the lessons, and itās clear he always tries extra hard, especially since heās at school on that scholarship.
he might not be insanely tall, but donāt let his height fool you, heās the basketball teamās secret weapon. his skills are insane, & heās a different person on the court, so each gameās exciting; he always goes beyond expectations.
honestly though, if you thought jihoon was busy, you should see mashi. he might not have a job, but heās got so much other stuff going on outside of sports & his studies, everyoneās a little bit curious as to how he balances all of it.
popularity check ā somehow, everyone seems to know mashi. heāsĀ campus crush material & heās got the fanclub to prove it.Ā when heās not studying or practicing for a game, you might find him with the dance club or the theatre kids.
overall, he just exudes good vibes and confidence, and thatās probably why so many people are naturally drawn to him. when heās out, he can be the life of the party, but itās pretty easy for him to have a good time just kicking back with friends. itās hard to imagine someone not liking him.
ā yoon jaehyuk / ģ¤ģ¬ķ
this is based off of that one fancall but jaehyuk studies both business administration & economics :)
even before people find out what his majors are, theyād already take a liking to him since heās such a sweetheart. hearing what heās studying only impresses others more.
i feel like heād be part of student government. i could also see him giving the freshmen tours of the campus once heās in his second year of studies, and he probably continues to do so every other year after that.
heās got smarts to spare !! i feel like heās that one person whoās always at the top of his class. he probably doesnāt even need to ask questions for clarification because he reads ahead of the current units theyāre working on in class.
im 92.7% convinced heād be the ultimate favorite student to any, if not all, of his professors. heād always be prepared when he comes to lectures, and i feel like all the professors would genuinely enjoy reading through his thought process when they grade any of his work.
i could see him working as a student tutor on the side, though idk if itād be for money or extra credit. itās an easy but equally convenient way for him to review topics while simultaneously earning extra cash or extra points. even if he wasnāt getting anything out of it, i still think heād enjoy helping other people better their understandings.
ā hamada asahi / ęµē°ęå
i had a lot of ideas for asahi, but for simplicity i think heād study art; specifically w/ a focus in animation.
something tells me heād be part of the gifted program for fine arts. idk if itād necessarily work like a scholarship, but i donāt think itād be an easy program to get into. heās getting the recognition he deserves for his talent.
when heās in class he takes simple notes so he gets the general information he needs, but something tells me that heād go back to redo them later on so that theyāll look nicer. it also helps him study, since heās revisiting all the materials.
he probably has a bunch of sticky notes with doodles on them in his textbooks, & i feel like heād doodle on his notes a lot too, but itās not because heās bored/distracted, it actually helps him focus & allows him to remember things better.
i feel like college is an even greater self discovery kind of experience for asahi more than any of the others. since heās so introverted, people probably say that they hope heāll learn to express himself outwardly the same way he expresses himself through his art. his friend group helps tho, so heās working on redefining his comfort zone :]
for some reason, i canāt really see asahi having a job while heās a student. heād either be so wrapped up in art & studies that his free time kind of blends with them, or heād keep to himself & his small circle of friends until he falls into a new hobby (which, unintentionally, would be music, but jihoonās trying to convince him to join the soccer team/club).
ā bang yedam / ė°©ģė“
the idea of yedam not being involved with music at all feels foreign to me, but i could see him doubling up & studying music alongside communications.
he probably got into college through the gifted program for music, but he chose to study communications as well just to be practical and have some sort of backup plan.
yedamās the type who stays in the studio more often than his dorm room. heās always coming up with new song ideas, so his voicenotes app is full of little snippets of things that he came up with throughout the day.
if you happen to see him on campus, youāll find that he listens to music more than half the time. heāll always have a pair of headphones on him, whether theyāre being worn over his ears or just hanging around his neck.
another popularity check ā the music departmentās pride and joy. everyone on campus knows him, mostly because he always performs at events like the school festivals & talent shows. yet another person with a little fanclub behind him; his voice just seems to pull people in.
performs every week at an open mic night that a local coffee shop hosts. heāll even take requests when there arenāt many people on the performance roster. definitely has a yt channel; sometimes heāll sing originals while other times heāll sing covers. half the student body is subscribed.
ā kim doyoung / ź¹ėģ
i was so dead set on this one pls i feel like doyoung would probably study biology & follow in his familyās footsteps as a pre-med student :]
campus!! crush!! somehow heās the perfect balance between being a sweetheart & being a huge flirt. his busy schedule tends to have him all over the place, but thatās also how he gained popularity on campus.
probably gets involved with student government because of jaehyuk. he wasnāt really about it first because he already had a lot going on as a pre-med student, but he enjoyed it too much to give it up once he got a taste for it.
doyoungās prepared for the worst; heās like a walking first-aid kit & nurseās office. definitely the person hyunsuk goes to ask for bandaids after accidentally poking himself one too many times while trying to design a new piece.
iām convinced heād be a teacherās assistant. i donāt have an idea of which of his professors heād TA for, but i know for a fact that heās charmed all of the other students in the class and the professor themselves. the type to leave give people little hints/tips on what to study for while grading their papers if they didnāt necessarily do so hot.
if youāre ever looking for him on campus and heās not assisting or sitting in the back of a class grading the papers, thereās a good chance youāll find him in the library. heās an assistant there on top of being a TA (and the head librarian always jokes about how theyād never seen so many people come in to study until doyoung became a library assistant).
ā watanabe haruto / ęø”č¾ŗę„č
harutoās studying music production & composition; he got in through the same program as yedam.
asahiās roommate. he helps asahi get comfortable around others & is partially the reason why music is now one of asahiās other hobbies outside of art.
rather than having a youtube channel like yedam, haruto posts on soundcloud for fun. he probably goes by an alias, but the stuff he puts out is semi-popular.
he likes to goof off & work on songs with his friends. at first heād just mess around by himself & show asahi, but then he met yoshi & mashiho, so nowadays you can distinctly hear four different people in several tracks on harutoās computer.
heās not employed while heās studying atm, but one of his professors mentioned that the campus radio station is looking for people to play songs & fill up the regular slots between the radio programs, so heās been debating on whether or not he should apply for a position.
that one person who everyoneās unintentionally intimidated by. he does really well academic-wise, but he can be a little bit antisocial, so he doesnāt talk as much around people heās not close to. others tend to find him hard to approach since heās so tall istfg his responses can be short & they mistake his blank expressions/rbf as him judging them since they canāt really tell what heās thinking by the look on his face.
ā park jeongwoo / ė°ģ ģ°
jeongwoo has absolutely no clue what he direction he wants to go in, so he hasnāt declared a field of study yet.
roommates with jaehyuk. junkyuās had to drop by and tell them to knock it off on more than one occasion because theyāll get too loud without realizing it.
heās on the basketball team with mashiho, but during the off-season youāll probably find him goofing around on the field with some of the other people in the soccer club.
knows he has to pick a focused area of study sooner or later, but heās not really sure what he wants. heās kind of testing things & looking into a new focus every other week to try and find something that sparks his interests.
works part time at is probably on the verge of being fired from a cafe, but heās usually only taking peoplesā orders, manning the register, or doing dishes. atm, his boss is just keeping him around since he makes up for his not-so-great coffee skills by bringing in a crowd, but heās trying his best.
a bit of a social butterfly. despite not knowing what he wants to study just yet, the fact heās made friends in several different departments has helped a lot. everyone on campus, regardless of their major, has probably seen jeongwoo lingering around their building once or twice, and whenever someone initiates conversation heās always polite.
ā so junghwan / ģģ ķ
junghwanās still in high school & trying to decide what he wants to do in the future.
heās sort of interested in a few different fields of study, but he wants to see what theyāre like before he makes a final decision on what heāll go into.
all his friends that have already graduated have been pestering him about going to the same university as them when the time comes for him to enroll.
though heās not done with high school yet, several schools have already been keeping an eye on him & his potential. thereās been buzz about how some places want him in their sports programs; some are even talking scholarships.
heās a full-time student as of right now. junghwanās too busy studying for the college entrance exams to be working at the moment, but heās a bright kid. his teachers are pretty sure heāll pass with flying colors; they surely wonāt hesitate to give him recommendations if he asks.
heās probably asked jaehyuk or doyoung to help him study for his upcoming exams just to be prepared, but itās somehow become a group-study thing because everyone else either tags along or invites themselves to the session. still, heās grateful. they try to help him as much as they can & tell him not to worry so much since heāll do just fine.
