Ode to Background -most likely discontinued-

Description

This is an ode to the background. To the ones always there, but never really there...not in their eyes, their hearts. Always shining their lights, but never seen, no matter how bright they light themselves up to the point of being burnt. Never heard. Never cared for. Because they're just the background, meant to be there to make the foreground seen, heard, loved.

 

 

 

Inspired by Produce 101

Dedicated to: the backgrounds

 

Disclaimer: everything in this fic are fictional and is in no way a real representation of any of the girls. Any similarity are merely coincidences(maybe intended haa...but purely for fictional purpose)

 

 

Foreword

 

 

"I'm...the last place." - Kang Sira (ChungchunMusic)

'Well, at least now you got that recognition and attention you needed, me...60th place? Anyone cares?' - Kim Yeonkyung (MIDAS)

"Being popular isn't always good." - Kim Juna (MusicK)

'No, being popular is all I need...to survive a little more. Will I?' - Kang Sihyun (Star Empire)

"So many of my friends are out, I'm gonna survive for them and make all eyes notice me." - Hwang Sooyeon (Happyface)

'Survive for them? Gotta survive for my own self first.' - Oh Seo Jung (M&H)

"Just enjoy every moment, you never know when is your last, well...though maybe for some..they can be rest assured." - Hwang Insun (Show Works)

"Yeah...just do your best and have fun. Don't think too much about other things...don't..." - Sung Hyemin (-)

'So much heart ache...I'm not going to leave before letting it be known.' - Kim Hyungeun (Kconic)

 

'Me, I'm not sure...I'm content to be where I am. But sometimes...I'm not sure what I'm doing here. Nothing is too bad, I'm not ranked so low, or so high to the point of being scrutinized. I don't feel like I'm going through so much struggles for survival or anything. No dramas, no angst. It's just...everything just breeze past me, I'm just a background. A beautiful decoration for a beautiful performance by the main ones to shine. A prop. But it's not so bad. My role is not so bad. I should be happy, shouldn't I? Am I not? Am I?'

- Yoon Chaekyung (DSP)

...Because...everyone has a story...not just the stars, yes, even backgrounds do. Sometimes...even more beautiful. It's just that you choose to overlook, overhear their stories...for they're merely the background. But there is a time and place they will shine the brightest, brighter than any stars in the foreground.

When? Where?

 

Now.

Here.

 

 

note: not everyone in the foreword will be in the fic...but for the ones who have read my blogposts will know that my favs will be in. Yoon Chae Kyung is chosen as the storyteller, for this reason (nope, she's not my fav but she's the most fitting to be the storyteller, i feel...)....which means...the fic will be written from her pov...but that doesn't mean she'll be the sole main character.

i'm just tired of keep seeing stuffs about same few contestants of the show...

so here i am presenting some variety...

this will probly be just a short fic with short chapters...not like i have much time...just annoyingly obsessed without even watching full episodes...only the perfs.

ps: please DO NOT expect your favs will be in here. i can't possibly write for all contestants...probly at most 10-20...

edit-

and the the perfs added above are the perfs that inspired the birth of this story...

Chapter 1: Wow, that was a pretty good start. I always adored stories from the background character's point of view, all of their adventures or perhaps mundane lives behind the 'main story', and Produce 101 definitely has room for so many. It's tragic even, since these girls are real people, and the 'main story' will probably impact their lives. Chaekyung is actually one of the background trainees I keep an eye for, I don't know why, she didnt do all that spectacular, maybe it's because she was the first one to appear on episode 1, and I've kind of just stuck with her subconsciously because of that. Interestingly, during the practice in ep6, the trainers complimented Chaekyung, but even then it was just as a reprimand to Sejeong, it was literally along the lines of 'I thought you [sejeong] would suit this song the most but right now Chaekyung is showing the most appropriate emotions for it', so basically, 'i expected more from you Sejeong, but you're doing so bad even Chaekyung is better than you', what a backhanded comment - kinda hoping to see Chaekyung's point of view on that.
Great start so far, hope to see more xD
