samuel kang / 17 + diamond / felix lee — complete
. seems mysterious bc he tends to keep to himself and nobody knows that much about him
. simply put, his family were more than happy to pay for his tuition so long as he wasn't around them
. his parents are rich and have been rich for a very long time. possibly descended from ancient joseon royalty. sam doesn't care, he's just here to learn maths not boast about his lineage (also, big deal. loads of people are descended from important people. not many people can do complex quadratic equations in their head and get it right.)


david zhu / 26 + mandarin teacher / zhang yixing — complete
. the relatable young teacher who's funny but also makes you do work
. one student found out that he can sing really well and used to upload covers to youtube and now it's a thing with his classes that if they all get 90% or above on every test then they can get him to sing one song of their collective choosing on the very last day of term
. if ur struggling come to him he'll get u to remember vocab by singing really annoying catchy songs bc what's a language class w/o catchy annoying songs that turn out to be useful

. "i don't need protecting i can defend myself" five minutes later he's seeking out someone to capture the spider sitting on the wall next to his bed
. the kind of person who can't even kill an ant
. it feels like he's here on a scholarship because his grandma is paying for it — she's rich, his cousins are rich, he and his siblings and his parents are the token poor ones
. loves photography and drawing


jasper kwon / 18 + ace / lee taeyong — complete
. he was born in canada and he plays ice hockey enough said
. a team player on the field, but in everything else? very much not
. despite being in the sport house he's still almost a genius
. he's gonna inherit his father's company when he graduates and he's this close to intentionally failing so he doesn't have to
. bc although he rarely admits it, he's v scared of the idea of inheriting an entire company and having to run it when he's only eighteen


kim jinsoo / 17 + ace / na jaemin
. strongly believes that both dance and chess are sports
. he's a soccer player though
. zero faith in his own abilities in anything else
. even though he's v smart
. his dad's boss is paying his tuition bc they wanted someone they could trust to befriend their own kid who goes to vanderbilt
. feels super out of place constantly + has like 1 friend


ji huang / 15 + heart / zhong chenle — complete
. sometimes he's evil sometimes he's a meme sometimes he's a lonely fifteen-year-old who wanted to keep going to his old school but his parents said this would be good for him
. acted in like 3 sorta big things but mostly he just sings covers of things and puts them on youtube and doesn't tell anyone bc he's shy


laura king / 16 + diamond / china anne mcclain
. listen art is great but at heart she's a chemistry person
. balancing equations is fun but explosions are better
. slow reactions are interesting to observe and understand but explosions and fast reactions are fun
. there are all sorts of theories about who her parents are but the truth is that she's just an average rich kid who happens to be a complete nerd about 2 things (art + chemistry)
. her father is a senator in the usa and her mother works full-time as a volunteer for charities


callum hyunjin lee / 18 + spade / im changkyun — complete
. sculpture is his preferred medium but he also likes digital art
. don't ask him to paint he can't that's why he uses photoshop
. his parents pay for his tuition but don't give him pocket money so he does commissions for people on tumblr and twitter so he can pay for photoshop
. bc his parents think he should be a doctor or a lawyer or some other boring profession and don't think there's any money in digital art (even though he's made enough to afford creative cloud, so)
