Chapter Text
'Who are you?' one of the idol trainer shouted on Lyne's face. This was weird. They already knew who Lyne was. After all he have been a trainee under 'Exell' the biggest idol company out there for 2 whole years.
'I.. I'm' Lyne stuttered not sure what he was supposed to say.. What he was expected to say.
'Let me tell you who you are. No one. That's who you are' He hissed in the most toxic way possible in Lyne's ear.
What did he do to deserve this? Why were they treating him like this? Almost every idol in training had it bad but why..why did he had it worse? Lyne had spent hours thinking these unanswered questions. But now his questions were not unanswered anymore. It's simple.. He was weak so he was the prey.
Lyne.. This was the name given to him as an Idol in trainee. But even before Lyne was Lyne.. When he was Shin Ahn a normal child, He had always been tender and frail. He was always taught by his parents to speak less and not voice his opinion because they simply didn't matter. He was 'disciplined' kid. That's what his parents named it. He was taught that all the physical and mental abuse was a normal part of him growing up and that he'll thank his parents for making his life so disciplined one day. Now that he was 17, all that remained of him was a fragile boy who fears standing up for himself. That's why he had it harder..because in the industry he chose there was no place for weak and broken. The law was Those who can't bear.. Disappear.
But even after all this Lyne never tried to act strong like others would've. Why? Because he wanted them to know that he needs help. If his words didn't matter, he atleast wanted to show how much he needed someone to help him. But no matter what he said, what he did, it didn't seem to work. Was the battle he was fighting with himself was already decided to be a loosing match by fate?
