"Stray Kids Moments" - thoughts and comments of the translator

Crying

Disclaimer: We had a lot (and I mean A LOT) of fun planning this when we were on the way (and on the way back) to and from Potsdam to see the Harry Potter exhibition. And thanks to our good friend Karo who helped with the Horror story in Jisung's part! x

Woojin:

- "You won't get me, you stupid chicken!" [...]
 Yes, we just did that and I still laugh when I think back to when we were sat on the train, laughing our asses off because of our stupid ideas.

- "Then, he turns around with you in his arms, across the whole bed and before you notice it, both of you fall out of bed." [...]
Excuse me, how strong is he when he manages to make him and another grown-up person fall out of bed at the same after he's rolled around with her in his arms?

- "I had a dream about a big chicken from space that wanted to eat me because chicken is my favourite Food" [...]
And now you tell me how you can't laugh about this.

Chan:

- "Your head is spinning and all you could think about is your boyfriend. You are worried. He is always working so much and so hard and you are very proud of him." [...]
I feel you, girl.

- "Not even 30 minutes later, you are standing in the elevator." [...]
Stray Kids have consumed my life so much that I write „Hellevator" everytime I want to write „elevator".

- "Tears are running down his cheeks while he just shakes his head." [...]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Am I the only one who absolutely can't stand seeing Chris cry or is it just my heart that breaks everytime I see him cry?

Minho:

- The idea to this Prefrence is proudly presented by ... MYSELF!

- Last weekend Lou and me were still joking about how I might have failed my economics exam when we planned those Preferences.

- And two days later I found out I actually failed the exam. I already had the feeling the day of the exam because it was just different from what our teacher had told us and I didn't have enough time and when I ran out of time, I couldn't do the last question anymore which was worth 30 points.

- So I didn't actually fail because I didn't study (I literally worked my ass off for one and a half months for all of my exams but especially economics because it was just a pain in the ass) but because I ran out of time. Great. Did I write that in the mail to my teacher when I asked for the first retake exam? Yes. Do I regret it? No. Because I feel like he should know that this was maybe too much to answer in 90 minutes. Especially when you tell us the exam is going to be so and so but in the end, the exam looks completely different.

- Anyway, back to my favourite boy!

- "It indeed is exhausting to leave the house during the early hours of the day." [...]
Oh yeah, getting up at 5 freaking a.m. four times a week was the best thing after economics!

- [...] "you feel like you have to throw up any second." [...]
Yep, I indeed felt like it. In combination with heat waves and starting to shake uncontrollably - it sucked. And then this incredibly good feeling was followed by tears.

- "Who even needed expressions like 'general commercial partnership' or 'accounting'? [...]
I've been asking myself the same thing for the last four months. But the different types of a company are still one of the better things in economics. 

- "'You can retake the exam, right? Then we'll study together. Economics has always been one of my favourite subjects at school!', he lied, making you laugh." [...]
Where do I sign up for teacher Minho?

Changbin:

- Do I have tears in my eyes while reading and translating this? Yes, I do.

- "They can wait because I don't plan to die within the next months." [...]
You better don't or you'll break millions of Stay's hearts!

Hyunjin:

- "Maybe those people, who did not know you, are right. Maybe you were not pretty enough. Maybe you were not smart enough." [...]
Let me get one thing straight: Whoever is reading this right now: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE WORTH IT! Don't listen to anyone stupid tell you that you're not pretty enough or not smart enough or not worth it. That's bullshit. You deserve the world. I'm not talking about just Hyunjin or just Stray Kids because I know most Stays are also in other fandoms so just take whatever bias of whatever group you have – your bias would be so incredibly happy to have you as your boyfriend/girlfriend! Don't let anyone bring you down. You're a Stay and all Stay's (and all other people) are amazing as hell and I love you!

- "No matter what anyone says, you're perfect for me because you make me become a better human!" [...]
This reminded me of "Perfect" by One Direction and maybe I'm missing those old times now.

- And this Preference was hella cute. Everyone deserves to have a Hyunjin in his life.

Han:

- This Preference is inspired by a little wood close to my unviersity. There's a train station near my university but to get to it, you have to walk past a small wood. And it's very creepy because although there are lamps, they barely light up the path when it's dark and there's constantly weird sounds coming out from between the trees. It's already creepy during the day so I don't plan to walk there in the evening/at night.

- "'Alli! Gal! Tore! Where are you? Help us!', a voice shouts from between the trees in a wimpering tone." [...]
This was a hint and it took me like five minutes to get it but now I can't stop laughing.

- If Han did that to me, he wouldn't see the next day because I'd definitely kill him. #amialsoscaredofthedark #maybe #butjustmaybe

Felix:

- "We are! It's my favourite movie!" [...]
WHY, FELIX, WHY?

- "Your what? No one ever watches this film voluntarily! At least no one that's still sane!" [...]
AMEN!

- "His arms are wrapped around your body and your head is placed on his shoulder." [...]
Cuddling with Felix sounds nice until you realize you have to watch "Titanic".

Seungmin:

- "So, next time Minho's being mean to you again ..." [...]
Minho more like MEANho

- Okay, this was really cute.

I.N:

- "Spellbound, you look at your phone. In black letters, in front of a white background, you read the words that rip your heart out of your chest: 'It's over'." [...]
Breaking up over text is seriously the worst thing ever. Guys and girls – at least have the guts to do it in person if you want to break up with your significant other!

- "He broke up with me. Over Instagram!" [...]
This is even worse than breaking up over text.

- "'Your favourite ice cream, your favourite chocolate and you top three favourite horror movies. I thought you've might have enough of romantic movies for a while!', Jeongin explains with a wide smile on his lips." [...]
A best friend like Jeongin, please!
