Renjun stays quiet as his manager standing infront of him scrolling the tweets on the phone.

At this moment, renjun knows what’s going on.

 

“so you’re viral” he said

Renjun nods slowly

“because sangmi left you? Sangmi told you to transfer to the other van?” the manager asked

Again, renjun nodded as an answer

“and you act like a you are the victim huh?” the manager sat in front of him, looking at him as if he was observing the Chinese boy

“you act something like that to gain sympathy right?”

Renjun shakes his head, as much as possible he should not utter some words to prevent his manager to burst into anger

“answer me Huang Renjun! Stop putting a show! The spotlights are now gone!!” he raised his voice as he slammed his hand on the table made renjun to flinch

“H-Hyeong..”

“answer me!!”

Renjun let out a heavy sigh, he knows that this manager hates it when other artist bad mouthing the management even the other managers and renjun knows that the manager wants to hear a lie.

He knows that the manager won’t listen to him

 

“I-I..”

“WHAT?!”

Renjun closed his eyes and trying to make up an alibi

“I-I left my airpod inside the studio and the van was parked in the other direction that’s why..” renjun paused as he let out a heavy sigh

“that’s why I got confused”

The manager smirks and he gave his cellphone

“go and tell that live”

“It’s purely misunderstanding” renjun said infront of the camera..smiling

“nct and managers are like brothers and sisters so there is no mistreatment going on” and then he lied again

At the corner he saw his manager smiling and giving him thumbs up

He used to it

Smiling infront of the camera and telling their fans that there is no mistreatment going on but in reality they are not treated equally.

“that’s all for today byeee!” renjun waved at the camera as he ended his vlive.

The manager gets the phone and read the comments

“that’s good very good” he said

 

Renjun’s face is now back to gloomy, he looks down as he gets his things and put it on the bag

“renjun you will be going to clean the practice room as a punishment” he said

The Chinese boy nodded

 

 

Sweeping

Scrubbing

Arranging

Renjun sits on the floor after he cleared the area, his groupmates are willing to help but Sangmi—the girl manager ask them not to get involved with the punishment.

He leans his back at the wall while looking the entire room. This room is his comfort zone he’s been crying here for the past 5 years.

SM treated the foreign trainee as a trash they give unfair treatments to them. The management asking for money to give them better treatment and more lines and screenplay in the future after they debut.

 

But renjun and his family cannot afford it.

He wants to do something for himself, he wants to achieve his dream to become an artist but being an artist means living in hell then renjun wants to set himself free.

But as of now he can’t break it free and he’s still stuck into the slavery called contract.

 

Renjun stands up and he faced the big mirror

“dajiahao! I’m Huang Renjun!” he bows and he put a smile on his lips

“I want to become a solo artist..” he said

He moved his arms with his feet and started to dance his audition piece that he showed in SM

He remembers all of it

He remembered how determined he is

He remembered himself 5 years ago

The pure boy with a big dream and a pure smile on his face hoping that he will achieve his dream

 

But that was before not until..

 

 

 

 

 

SM Takes away his happiness.
