chensung au

a cliche youtuber au in which popular youtuber chenle randomly sees a video of jisung dancing and asks his followers to help him find jisung in the hopes of a collab (and maybe more)

fluff/crack au

pls dont reply to the thread!

idk if i will actually write this but i needed to get the idea out of my head

disclaimer: i have no idea how to make a fake yt profile/videos and i have an android so i dont have social dummy. if anyone has any suggestions pls @ me!

profiles: famous squad
chenle- has a LOT of different content and always trying something new to keep his channel interesting. vlogs, sings, dances, rants, challenges, commentary, he does it all!

haechan- a singer, still trying to get signed to a label but gaining popular on yt with his unique and beautiful voice. posts weekly covers but has started to post more original songs. has previously collabed with chenle for some covers and the two became close.

renjun- primarily a vlogger who has a joint channel with lucas where they post all their shenanigans. viewers love their banter and extreme challenge videos. collabs frequently with chenle (his bff)

and on some less famous side of the internet we have:
mark- a sound cloud rapper who like haechan is just trying to get his big break. has recently been thinking about starting a yt channel to try to get more recognition and thats when he followed chenle. met jisung at his job.

jaemin and jeno- hoping that the reality show they just got casted on will be their big break. they met on the show and became fast friends. jeno dances at the same studio with jisung and the two have been friends for years.

and finally...
jisung- dancing is his whole life. currently dancing for the nct dancing team and working as a waiter on the side where he met mark. doesnt really have an online presence but appears frequently on ncts dance team videos even if he is not individually recognized.

aite let's get this started! we open our cliche tale on the less famous side of the internet with Mark and his plans!

and at the same time on the more famous side...

chenle discovers jisung and freaks out!!

group chat pt 2

here's another look into the almost famous squads yt channels! (i did my best with photoshop and i think it turned out p good??)

haechans yt!

and finally we have renjuns channel!

and mark! who is trying his best

mark is trying his best but no one is noticing him on yt...

and that's when chenle tweets this:

and Mark gets an idea and thinks he will finally get his big break

mark and jisung 2

mark revamps jisung profile and links his videos

mark and jisung try to get Chenle's attention when chenle tweets again

thank god chenle is persistent about checking his mentions!

chensung dms

mark and jisung. jisung is... not the best texter...

chenle and jisung text

and then jisung texts mark

while chenle texts the almost famous squad

chenle squad pt 2

would some written parts be ok?

a week or so later...

and then jisung has to ask Mark what's up

get hype

and finally its time for chensung to meet!

(the following will be written out and they may be other written out parts later in the story, but im not a great writer so im going to try to keep it mainly social media!)

so mark and jisung are just chilling in the studio waiting for chenle....

m: man you dont need to be so nervous! its just dancing and you are the best dancer ive ever seen. theres no reason to stress!
j: mark... how many dancers have you seen?
m: enough to know you are amazing!

j: hah whatever man, just... youll take the lead when they get here right?
m: of course jisung! dont worry so much i got this. besides you would think i would be more nervous than you considering you dont even watch their videos

j: bro you know it wouldnt matter if they were famous or not! im always nervous meeting new people..
m: haha trust me i know! all you have to do is dance ok?
j: ...ok. oh! chenle just texted me that they are here.
m: lets go meet them outside then!
j: ughhhh this is going to suck

mark and jisung head outside to meet chenle and his friends

m: holy shit!
j: what mark!? dont just stand there man! theyre getting closer! oh my god you said that you werent nervous!
m: ... i lied... they are famous jisung!

j: you promised to do the talking! so get it together man!
m: shit ok ok i got this... lesketit!

and thats when chenle finally got close enough to speak

c: hey!! im chenle! its so nice to meet you in person jisung! i was worried you might be a catfish but im glad youre you!

j:...hi...this is mark
c: hi mark! i think i remember you from twitter?
m: haha yea thats me! im just here to make sure jisung is ok... hes not great at anything thats not dancing.
c: yea no problem! i brought my friends along too, this is renjun, donghyuck and lucas

m: wow its great to meet you guys! im def a fan so this is weird for me!
l: well its always nice to meet a fan! do you dance too or?
m: oh no i leave the dancing to jisung. i rap tho
d: really?
c: thats awesome!
r: are you any good
m: hah i like to think i am!

m: anyway yall want to go inside? i know jisung is excited to show you his choreo
c: of course! im so excited to see it! i just hope i can replicate it
r: im sure youll do fine... and if not it will be great for the vlog
l: haha! yea jisung and mark we wanted to make sure it was

l: ok to film this for our channel? as kind of a behind the scenes type thing
m: sure man! that would be awesome. could you mention my and jisung channels tho?
l: yea of course! jisung youre cool with us filming?
j: its fine
m: alright lets get this started then!

after they make their way inside and get set up jisung shows everyone the choreo

(for reference its this: )

c: oh my god... oh my god... OH MY GOD
l: whoa
c: *whispers to renjun* i love him
r: haha chill! you gotta learn the dance now

so jisung teaches chenle the dance he came up with. chenle tries to make conversation while they dance but jisung is so concentrated on teaching and

chenle is too busy trying to catch his breath during their breaks to talk. eventually they run through the dance several time and decide they are happy with it and film a final version for chenles channel. when they are finally done dancing....
c: this is going to be so great!

c: we just have to film the intro and were done!
j: what intro?
c: i have to introduce you and let my fans know what the video is about!
j: why? the videos i do with nct dont have intros

at this point chenle was a little annoyed but he would never show that so he looked at mark

m: ah right.... jisung you just have to say your name and that youre a dancer with nct studios. im sure chenle can do the rest of the intro?
c:.... i guess that works

c: hello my dolphins! its chenle here with another dance challenge video!

c: and this time im joined by a very special guest!
c: *nudges jisung*
j: ... im jisung... i dance at nct studios....
c: haha right...
c: well jisung is an expert dancer and he created the choreo to make this the best dance challenge yet! we will be dancing to troye sivan's wild

c: please like this video if you enjoy our dancing and dont forget to subscribe! make sure to let me know what you think on twt! should i do more dancing? i think im getting pretty good haha!

c: alright thats it! thank you so much jisung. oh! and you too mark!
m: yea of course! i had a great time and it was nice getting to know yall
h: maybe ill even check out your videos!
l: yea we will def check them out man!
m: wow thanks! please let me know what you think
j: bye

as they walked away chenle whispers to his friends
c: ok i still cant tell if he hates me or not... but that went ok right?
r: yea it was a great dance! but the intro is... rough
h: hes very awkward but i agree hes a great dancer
c: well i hope i see him again soon
