Zhang Yixing only wanted to stay a night away from home. Instead, he got kidnapped, sent to space, eight galactic (and incredibly dense) teenagers, a mission, and a whole lot of 'no homo'. . .

UPON ENTERING his dormitory after a short dinner with Chanyeol that goes just as awkward as the rest of the day, Yixing receives seven notifications on his bracelet.

[LAY] wants to die.
But he can't, because he has to start that thing due in two days, which quickly turns to one when midnight passes and he's still trying to find an answer to What's the best part about EXO? and the rest of the assignments tick down a day as well and Yixing wonders what will happen if (read: when) he does not make these due dates and if he will be punished, and then there's What's Up With RF and also, as Yixing remembers at three AM when he's filling out a questionnaire about RF with utmost caution, he has to get books from the 'library' about EXO and RF for Kyungsoo and also meet up with him. Yixing wonders what Kyungsoo does for a job. Yixing wonders how anyone here stays sane.
He finishes the way-too-long packet of questions in about four hours and then he fearfully tries to sleep again. It doesn't work because of the adverb fearfully so he takes thirty minutes to stare at the books – and not read them – and then check out what Chanyeol was working on. He finds the whole notepad filled with notes about governments and historical events and his handwriting is barely legible and Yixing looks at what he's typed and the laptop's brightness that doesn't turn down burns his tired eyes and it's about thirteen pages and the next title is sectioned Examples Of Successful Monarchy (not EXO, by the way) and damn, he really should've paid attention in high school.
Once again Yixing is outraged over how damn unfair this is. Being forced to exercise to get a nice body is one thing, but this... what does he get out of it? Besides sleepless nights and the constant regret of not remembering something because he had forgotten it after the test because he didn't fucking plan to have tertiary education or what-he-learned-in-high-school based assignments, what good is there? None. He has half a mind to storm into whatever room RF's in with an angry tirade about can't you put me to some different kind of use you are a robot you should be smart and know I can't fucking do this shit what kind of leader are you I refuse to do this go ahead kill me wait no don't actually, but that half a mind turns into no mind at wait no don't actually and then turns to I really need to talk to Kyungsoo. I really need to figure all that out.
