Welcome to another installment of “Drache should really stop letting plot bunnies run free”. This time the victims are TWICE and BTS. Now that SWRD is starting to enter its final chapters I’m just writing a bunch of other things and seeing which bits take hold in my brain.

I got super inspired by @bangdungie on Twitter, their BangTwice comic is legitimately one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. So we got a high school/academy/boarding school AU where Chaeng and Kookie are siblings. But I personally really enjoy writing fantasy and crossovers like Pokémon and Percy Jackson (But both of those are Red Velvet-centric). So we add in some superpowers. Twice are getting theirs from the Signal MV and Bangtan from the many many posts and discussions people have had about what kind of superpowers they’d have. As far as I’m aware, BTS don’t “canonically” have an MV showing off powers so I did my best.

So basically, everyone attends a prestigious boarding school for teenagers with special powers called Hallyu Academy. Like any big high school there are cliques, and two of the most popular groups in the school have a long-standing rivalry with each other. The TWICE gang and the BTS gang can be seen walking the halls and everyone knows to get out their way. Things are about to get shaken up though when two new transfer students arrive.   

TWICE

Nayeon- Time Reversing

Im Nayeon is the oldest member of the TWICE gang and while she’s not the group’s official leader she is often one of the ones who enjoy taking the lead when it’s offered. Nayeon’s power is time manipulation. Right now she’s only able to reverse time, however with practice her teachers say she’ll one day be able to control the flow of time itself.

It’s also no secret that she’s got a big gay crush on Jeongyeon, but no matter how hard she tries to get the other girl to notice her it never seems to work. The rest of the group (and likely the entire school) has a betting pool going to see when Jeongyeon will finally get a clue.

Jeongyeon- Time Freezing

Yoo Jeongyeon is the second oldest member of TWICE and one of their unofficial mothers. She’s generally the one who keeps things organized around the dorm and makes sure everyone gets to classes on time. Jeongyeon is in a similar boat to Nayeon due to the way her powers have manifested. Both of them are classified as being able to manipulate time, however Jeongyeon has the ability to freeze time. Her powers haven’t yet grown to the point where she can stop time completely, so right now she’s only able to slow the flow of time.

As for her relationship with the other members, she’s blissfully unaware that Nayeon harbors feelings for her. Nayeon’s always been the kind of girl who likes flirting with everyone, it’s not Jeongyeon’s fault that she can’t differentiate between affectionate Nayeon and overtly flirty Nayeon.

Momo- Super Speed

Hirai Momo is one-third of the gang’s Japanese line, her parents transferring her to Hallyu Academy after her mother took a job in Seoul. She’s the group’s resident speedster; according to her records she’s the fifth fastest speedster in all of Korea, a great achievement for someone still in their teenage years. Momo trains day and night to improve her powers, she says she has to because otherwise her roommate Sana would break way more things in their dorm.

While Momo is closest to the group’s other two Japanese members, she’s also found a kindred spirit in the speedster from the BTS gang. They have an intense rivalry but she sees him as a younger brother and always makes sure he’s taking care of himself.

Sana- Invisibility

Minatozaki Sana is the second member of the Japanese line in TWICE. Originally she chose to study abroad at the Hallyu Academy, but after an unforgettable first semester she decided she wanted to stay with her girls. Sana has the ability to turn herself invisible, which turns out to be a handy trait whenever she oversleeps and has to sneak her way into class. She’s also known for being the clumsiest member of TWICE and Momo has to constantly be on the lookout in case her super speed is needed to save the day. After the fifth broken vase, Jihyo brought up the idea of Momo and Sana sharing a room to minimize the potential casualties and so far it’s worked out well.

Sana is bubbly and affectionate with her members and she enjoys hanging out with Dahyun and making the other girl feel flustered with her blatant displays of skinship.

Jihyo- X-Ray vision/Analyze Weakness

Park Jihyo is the official leader of the TWICE gang despite being in the middle when it comes to age. Her and Nayeon are the members that take the lead most often with the others and she enjoys taking care of everyone. She and Jeongyeon can often be found cooking for the other girls. Unlike the others, Jihyo’s powers aren’t classified as “active powers” according to the Academy. They’re considered “passive” because she always has them running in the background, so to speak. Momo and Nayeon say she has eyes in the back of her head, which isn’t exactly true but they’re not far off.

Jihyo is capable of using her vision to see through solid objects, making her adept at catching the other members when they do something naughty. Her other power allows her to analyze her opponents and discover their weaknesses. She works with Mina and the empath from the BTS gang to hone her skills and learn how to read people. Jihyo is the student council president.

Mina- Hypnosis/Siren

Myoui Mina is the last member of TWICE’s Japanese line. She’s an avid gamer and enjoys spending time alone. Because of that, many people consider her to be aloof and cold but she simply needs time to get to know people. Mina is able to enchant others with her voice, a rare power known as charmspeak. She’s currently only able to temporarily hold people in her thrall, but her teachers warn her that one day she’ll be able to permanently enthrall people. She takes her power very seriously and works hard to keep her emotions in check so she won’t accidentally enthrall someone. Despite the rivalry between their two groups, Mina has a good relationship with the other charmspeaker at the Academy.  

She’s recently become close with the new transfer student to the Academy, a bubbly young girl a year below her who doesn’t seem to care that her voice can potentially enslave someone.

Dahyun- Clones

Kim Dahyun is the team’s jokester. Her bright smile can light up even the darkest of days and she does her best to make sure her other members are happy. She’s also very fond of quoting Naruto whenever she activates her power, which allows her to make duplicates of herself. At the moment she’s unable to make more than three copies of herself, and its her dream to one day be like Naruto and be able to clone herself a hundred times.

Dahyun is terrified of heights and insists on having at least one other member by her side at all times if they go hiking up one of the local mountains. She likes talking with the shapeshifter from BTS since their powers involve them altering their bodies. She’s thinking about joining the rap club this semester.

Chaeyoung- Telekinesis

Son Chaeyoung is the newest member of the TWICE gang, having only recently transferred to the academy with her twin brother Jungkook. Their parents decided to transfer them after both of their powers manifested over the summer. Chaeyoung is able to move objects with her mind, though she’s unable to move things that weigh more than two hundred pounds. Her powers are young though and its likely that with training and practice she’ll eventually be able to move objects weighing in the tons.

She’s recently become close with Myoui Mina even though the older girl has tried multiple times to push her away. Mina is scared she’ll be unable to control her powers around Chaeyoung, but nevertheless Chaeyoung is persistent.

Tzuyu- Super Strength

Chou Tzuyu is the maknae of TWICE and everyone dotes over her. Which is ironic considering she is the tallest out of all of them. It would be unwise to mess with her though, otherwise you might get a taste of her super strength. She struggles with controlling her strength since her powers have only manifested in the past year. Still, she’s always willing to lend a helping hand with moving furniture and no one in TWICE has to worry about losing things under the sofa when their maknae can lift it with two fingers.

Jihyo adamantly refuses to allow Tzuyu to join her in the kitchen after the “macaron incident”.

Other notes: Nayeon and Jeongyeon are juniors. Momo, Sana, Jihyo and Mina are sophomores. The maknae line are freshmen.

BTS

Jin- Hypnosis/Siren

Kim Seokjin is the oldest member of the BTS gang and their unofficial mother. He’s the member that cooks the most and everyone says his dad jokes are the worst thing in recent human history. Only Dahyun routinely laughs at his humor. Jin knows he’s gorgeous and is confident in himself and his powers, something he’s trying to teach to the TWICE gang’s hypnotist. None of the boys dare to skip chores in their dorm for fear that Jin will charmspeak them into cleaning the entire building from top to bottom.

Jin is a charmspeaker, one of two at the Academy and one of less than a hundred worldwide. Hence the self-given nickname “Worldwide Handsome”. His powers allow him to hypnotize up to three people at once, though like Mina he is unable to permanently enthrall people.

Yoongi- Time Freezing

Rule one of interacting with Min Yoongi: do NOT interrupt him while he’s sleeping. He hasn’t yet thought of any other rules. Yoongi is the head of the school’s rap club and he can be found most days either in the recording studio or taking a nap on the sofa in his dorm’s living room. He is known for speaking his mind, which has given him kind of a bad-boy reputation among the student body but once he’s comfortable with someone he becomes very sweet and caring. He’s as protective of s as he is of his beauty sleep.

Yoongi’s powers are classified under “Time Manipulation” like Nayeon and Jeongyeon, though his abilities more closely resemble Jeongyeon’s. He is able to completely stop time, but only for a few minutes at most, which physically exhausts him. Usually he uses his time powers to snag a few extra minutes in the studio before Namjoon forces him to come out and eat.

Hoseok- Light Manipulation

Jung Hoseok is usually the reason the BTS members are smiling. His naturally bubbly and sociable demeanor lend well to the high school atmosphere and he is one of the most popular kids in school. His powers reflect his 4D personality, as he is able to manipulate light. Hobi is currently able to make his body and eyes glow, and if he pushes himself he can temporarily blind someone. He also has minor healing powers, though those are currently limited to taking care of the various cuts and bruises s (usually Namjoon) sustain.

He doesn’t use his powers offensively, preferring to stay back and support his teammates if things go awry. He is able to see through Sana’s invisibility since her powers revolve around bending light in order to make herself invisible. Hobi enjoys his extracurriculars, he’s part of both the dance and rap clubs and he volunteers at the soup kitchen every other weekend.

Namjoon- Chaos/Analyze Weakness

Kim Namjoon is the official leader of the BTS gang and if Jin is the mother, he’s the father of the group. He makes sure his boys are doing well in class and disciplines them if they forget to do their chores. Namjoon is the only member of the group that can speak English fluently, though the other members are starting to pick up on some of the things he says (usually the swear words, much to Jin’s displeasure). He is called the ‘god of destruction’ thanks to his power of chaos manipulation. And unfortunately for him, he has to always be hyperaware of his surroundings otherwise things around him tend to break. He also has the power to look at someone and understand their weaknesses, though it’s not a power he enjoys using because he thinks it’s a serious invasion of one’s privacy.

He is part of the school’s rap club along with Yoongi and Hobi and the vice-president of the student council alongside Jihyo.

Jimin- Empath

Park Jimin is the head of the school’s dance team and he’s known for being a hardworking and dedicated young man. Many students, both male and female, have fallen for his sweet personality and bright smile. Somehow he always knows the right thing to say, and that’s because of his powers. He is an empath and is able to gauge the emotions of those around him. Like Jihyo, his powers are not classified as “active powers” because he is always in-tune with his abilities. He’s slowly becoming more confident in himself and learning how to not let the feelings of others overwhelm him.

He’s close with Momo and Hobi thanks to their shared love of dancing. Rivalries aside, he’s always willing to be there for others and both Jin and Namjoon occasionally need to remind him to take care of himself too.

Taehyung- Shapeshifting

Kim Taehyung was the maknae of the BTS gang until this semester, but he’s more than willing to share the spot with their newest member Jungkook. He has the ability to shapeshift, although at his age he’s only able to alter his physical appearance to look like other people. His powers will probably expand to one day allow him to turn into animals, which he’s very excited for because he wants to be able to speak with his puppy, Yeontan. The rest of the members pretend like they don’t know he keeps the Pomeranian puppy in his room despite the academy’s strict no-pets rule.

Taehyung enjoys volunteering at the animal shelter on the weekends and pranking s by suddenly shapeshifting into them.

Jungkook- Super Speed

Jeon Jungkook is the newest member of the BTS gang, having only recently transferred to the academy this semester with his twin sister Chaeyoung. Their parents decided to transfer them after both of their powers manifested over the summer. Jungkook is BTS’s resident speedster and new maknae, and while he’s not as fast as Momo he’s confident that one day he’ll surpass her. The rest of the boys enjoy doting on him, making sure he has what he needs to succeed in school. Jungkook is unofficially called their ‘golden maknae’ because he’s uncannily good at whatever he puts his mind to. Namjoon has been trying to convince him to join the student council.

He and Mina have been spending time together thanks to their shared love of videogames, and he constantly challenges Momo to races to test his developing skills.

Other Notes: Jin and Yoongi are juniors. Hobi, Namjoon and Jimin are sophomores. Taehyung and Jungkook are freshmen.

This is obviously just a taste of the world that’s slowly getting built, and over the next couple of days you’ll probably see a bit more of a solid introduction (maybe even a first chapter) to this story. I’m considered fairly new to writing for both the TWICE and BTS fandoms as the main group I write about is Red Velvet but I look forward to interacting with a new group of K-Pop fans. My other two big projects (SWRD and I fall) take first priority, but with SWRD slowly wrapping up and this lovely quarantine for the near future I have more time to write.

So there you have it. I’m a er for academy AU and I really do need to stop coming up with other ideas. I love hearing feedback from people, and I’ll admit that I’m a total ho for receiving comments. Like all my fics so far this is going to be rated T for language use. Don’t blame me, blame Yoongi. It’s probably also gonna be pretty gay. Once again, don’t blame me, blame 2yeon.

Until next time,
