"You can do this Rin...it's your dream" The girl spoke to herself in a reassuring whisper while heaving a large sigh. Half out of anxiousness and half out of adrenaline.

The aspiring idol brushed her hair out of her face and stood up from the creaky airport chair in which she was sitting. She then secured her large suitcases in her palms and made sure she had all her devices before heading towards her gate.

It was now or never, and she had already gone too far to ever go back.

Aerin knew she was ready to be independent, but the moment she hugged her mother and stepfather goodbye, she wasn't exactly as sure as she was before. For some reason, this felt so much more real than it did before. She now had no one and fending for herself proved to be the only available option, at least in her teenage mindset.

She did have some comfort knowing her parents had enrolled her in a good school in South Korea and had gotten her a small but sufficient apartment. Regardless, the loneliness was all that was on her mind. It wasn't that she couldn't be independent but she was always sheltered and assisted for the majority of her life. To know that all of that was going to disappear so abruptly, scared Aerin.

"Hello, this is the Pilot of flight 1323,
we will now be taking off.
Please fasten your seat belts and situate yourselves.
Thank you for flying with ***** Airlines,
and most importantly, enjoy your flight."

Her heart rate suddenly increased and she wasn't sure whether to be nervous or excited. But she was following her dreams, that was what was important, right?

. . .

The girl's maneuver throughout the Incheon airport was luckily much easier than she had expected and she even had enough time to grab a coffee. After which Aerin finally went on and dragged her luggage all the way to the outside of the airport, successfully calling a taxi to take her to her new apartment in the process.

She was now in a new place. A whole new life.

The girl had no idea what she would do if her parents hadn't given her such a setup, and she was more than grateful she didn't have to find out.

𝗿𝗶𝗻'𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 :

Her whole family was actually very well off, not just her parents, and Aerin had always lived in a higher-class environment. Whether she liked that environment or not, she was luckily raised to be a good person and that has helped her with her social life. Not that she had much of one though but it was satisfactory enough.

When Aerin's mother divorced, she started her own fashion/retail company which partially added to her family's wealth. Their company grew insanely over the years and eventually, they were able to give Rin the life they always wanted to.

Aerin wanted to live for herself though, she didn't want to depend on others or more so their money. And while she was forced to do so more now than ever, a part of her felt as if she was doing it all on her own, and that was weirdly enough motivation.

𝘈 / 𝘕 !

I don't really know how to write Aerin's life in Korea because I feel like it would take too long, so in the next chapter I'll just time skip to when she meets her members and then there will be another time skip to their debut.

Sorry, if you wanted the non-included parts of the story, but I feel that I wouldn't be able to write it that well.

Regardless, I hope you are enjoying the story!
