those airplanes in the night sky
He doesn't remember how he got into airplanes.

Actually. That's a lie. Getting into airplanes was nothing short of inevitable, but when asked, Minhyuk likes to indulge in the pleasures of being mysterious. He's the child of an air force pilot father and a makeup artist mother and while many kids on his military base busied themselves with antics such as bike riding and getting fresh air, Minhyuk was always the type to stay in and build model airplanes with Cheeto dusted fingers. It was an undesirable trait to have during his childhood days and while boys born in the same year as him found themselves in relationships by their teenage years, Minhyuk found himself internally spazzing at the air force museum in Seongmu.

He doesn't desire to follow in his father's footsteps in becoming a pilot. Though the occupation in itself does prove to be more than worthy of praise, Minhyuk's brain is programmed to function in the way an engineer's does. Numbers and analysis, mechanics and sciences - anything and everything that has to do with physics and then some have always been Minhyuk's strong point and while pretending to be Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun makes him look cool, it's the things going on behind the scenes that interest Minhyuk the most.

Upon his arrival at Yonsei University back in 2010, declaring his major as an Aerospace Engineer came as no real surprise. His friends had said it was his destiny, his true calling and his father had joked that perhaps Minhyuk was a bird in his previous life because for some odd reason, that seemed to be the only logical explanation as to why he was so in love with flying. It was the fact that he joined a fraternity in his second year that shocked everyone beyond belief. His mother had asked what had possessed him to do so like it was out of character for her son to actually want to go out and socialize. His father had laughed and then proceeded to ask him if this meant he'd finally get a girlfriend. Minhyuk, on the other hand, had only joined due to personal gain. Delta Tau Delta had a reputation for their laid back personalities and to have the organization on his resume when he graduates? Call it his golden ticket to Willy Wonka's factory of Life.

As a junior, people look at Minhyuk and ultimately decide that he's the boy who seems far too busy with school to really care about anything else. And for the most part, he doesn't deny that. However, if he could alter it just a bit, he'd say: I'm the guy who is far too busy fanboying over my latest aircraft design because yes - I really am just that good.

What a cocky son of a bitch.

10 things that ruin Kang Minhyuk's life (according to Kang Minhyuk):

1. Raisin bagels that don't come presliced.

Minhyuk: "Can you cut my bagel for me?"
Friend: "Why can't you do it yourself?"
Minhyuk: "Because. The blade of the knife and the coordination of my hand is very ineffective at slicing the bagel proportionally."
Friend: "What is that even supposed to mean?"
Minhyuk: "JUST PLEASE CUT MY BAGEL."
Friend: "Okay! Gosh."

2. T.I graphing calculators costing well over 100 USD.

Friend: "Hey! This is a cool calculator. How much did it cost you?"
Minhyuk: "One human soul."

3. Candy Crush Saga.

Minhyuk: "If I flunk out of school, it's because Candy Crush Saga refuses to let me pass level 33."
Friend: "I think it's time to admit you to Candy Crush Anonymous."
Minhyuk: "Let me just beat this level first."

4. Having to explain his major to drunk people.

Drunk person: "So like, what do you do?"
Minhyuk: "I'm an aerospace engineer."
Drunk person: "No way!! Is that like, doing astronaut things and stuff??"
Minhyuk: "..... Yes, and I fight aliens in my spare time. In fact, I saved the world from an alien invasion."
Drunk person: "Oh, my God. No way."
Minhyuk: "You're welcome."

5. Having a Japanese minor and not being able to speak Japanese.

Sensei during Japanese 111 oral exam: "(Where do you live?)"
Minhyuk: "(Yes, I want to eat a donut.)"

6. Aerospace engineering exams.

Friend #1: "Where'd Minhyuk go?"
Friend #2: "Today was his Aerospace 301 exam."
Friend #1: "Ah, so drinking his woes away. Gotcha."

7. Coding.

Friend #1: "Is Minhyuk okay? He's been staring at that screen for like, an hour."
Friend #2: "He's coding."
Friend #1: "Yeah, but he should blink or something. I mean, lean away from the screen at least."
Friend #2: "I don't think that's something you want to tell h--"
Minhyuk: "FUCKING DAMNIT. IT WAS A 0 NOT AN O!!!!!"
Friend #2: "Look, he's got it!"

8. All the elevator buttons being pushed.

Minhyuk: "I should've taken the stairs."

9. Gyroscopes.

Professor: "So if we look at this particular gyroscope, we can calculate the angular momentum of the spinning axis."
Minhyuk: ".... The fuck am I looking at?"

10. Deceiving open book exams.

Professor at the beginning of the semester: "All the exams in this class are open book, open notes."
Minhyuk at the beginning of the semester: "Suh-weet."
---
Minhyuk at the beginning of the first midterm: ".... None of this shit is in my notes."

Class average midterm 1: 39%
Class average midterm 2: 24%
Class average final: 43%
Overall class curve: 40% = C.
Minhyuk's grade for that course: 67% = A.
