// Third POV //

I.N's eyes bulged open, the sound of his alarm filling the room.

His roommates covered their eyes and faces with their blankets, Han threw a pillow across the room, hitting the maknae square in the face. Jeongin let out a growl, throwing it back in his annoying hyung's direction.

Jeongin stretched his arms out, the dreams leaving his eyes and mind. Once he found his balance, he walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. He didn't bother drying his body before throwing on his uniform.

The mirror glared back at Stray Kids's maknae and I.N questioned how he got here.

Three years ago, he was a sophomore in high school, going to school in the day and the company at night. He doesn't remember a time when he wasn't an idol, even as a trainee he felt like an idol, he worked as hard as one so he slowly got used to it.

Now that Stray Kids are successful, I.N wondered what the point was. Why does he wake up at the crack of dawn to go to school and graduate if he already had a job?

There are a lot of teenage idols like I.N and he's had conversations with them about school. They all agreed with him, and they all shared the same excuse as to why they continued:

Their hyungs made them finish.

I.N"s blessed with hyungs who love him like an actual little brother. Every where he turned, they were there. He didn't have to walk down any path alone and was more than grateful to have such lovable hyungs and best friends.

Jeongin tried to talk to BangChan but it was useless. Every time the leader just told him that if he didn't finish school, he's regret it. He thought that that was a vague excuse; what exactly would he regret? He doesn't have any friends at school, everyone ignores him, his teachers hate him, his grades were bad, he hates school!

This wasn't the first time I.N stared at his own reflection like this before. He has been doing this since the day Felix punished him for cheating. If he didn't cheat, then he would already be graduated and out of high school once and for all, but no. He had to repeat two dumb classes because he failed them.

His hyungs didn't know how bad he was failing, mostly because he didn't tell them. You could call it lying but I.N just calls it "creative truth."

I.N saw the time on his phone, 4:30 am. He has to be at school in two hours, he had a Math test today. His teachers told him that he had to come in thirty minutes before class started for detention.

What was the detention for? Jeongin didn't remember. I.N wasn't a bad kid, he was always polite and reserved but his grades made his teachers treat him like a villain. Of course I.N knew that it was his fault, but again, what the hell was the point? He works over 54 hours a week, he didn't have time to study or do homework.

Hang on, what if....he just didn't go?

Jeongin cracked a smile, if he didn't go, he wouldn't fail the test! He could go to the cafe or arcade! That was perfect! He could have the whole day off by himself!

Hatching up a plan, I.N walked downstairs and acted like he was getting his stuff together.

He saw a patch of blonde hair floating midair, when I.N walked into the kitchen to get a better look, he breathed out a sigh of relief. It's just Felix, if it was Minho or BangChan, he would be screwed. The two oldest loved to ask questions.
