THUG REBORN TO BE AN IDOL!!!
•EPISODE 1•
？？？
Please...Please....I beg you give me...few more days...I-I will definitely not disappoint you...boss...
? ? ?
(snickers) Look at this pest!
? ? ?
(grabs his hair) Do you think yourself as a saint?? Going around and giving MY money to a cancer patient??
? ? ?
Guess what? (whispers) She survived ~
? ? ?
But WE killed her~ (snickers)
？？？
(rage building inside) She...She was just a ...c-child...HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL??
Heartbroken, the man turned away, unable to bear the sight of their twisted amusement.
？？？
[thinks] (regretting) What did I do to be born in this lowest pit?
? ? ?
*sarcastically* Well, aren't you just the hero? Going around, playing savior with money that doesn't belong to you~
? ? ?
You think you're so important? We'll see how long you last without our protection~
? ? ?
*laughs cruelly* You really are pathetic.
They left him there after a good beating.
？？？
(looks around, unsure) I-I'll find a way to survive...
He kept looking around the cold alleys, trying to find a way to survive in this harsh world.
？？？
(sitting near a trash can)
His eyes land on another group of thugs loitering nearby, and an idea begins to form in his mind. He approaches them, hoping they'll take him under their wing.
Thug 1: (scowls) What do you want, kid?
？？？
(swallows) I heard you guys are pretty good at surviving around here. I was wondering if I could join your group... I can be useful.
Thug 3: Nice! We were really in need for an extra hand! Let's take him in.
？？？
I am very versatile! I can do everything! I am really useful....Please take me in!
Thug 2: (considers) Alright, kid. Prove yourself to us. We've got a job tonight.
？？？
(determined) I'll do my best. What do you need me to do?
Thug 1: (smirks) F*ck good spirit ! Just follow our lead and don't mess up. The job is simple: we're stealing a shipment of luxury goods from a high-end store tonight. Be prepared for some action.
？？？
(shakes off his hesitation)
[thinks] I will survive for my revenge. (determined)
•EPISODE 2•
The heist goes smoothly at first.
He sneaks into the store with the thugs.
？？？
(heart pounding as he navigates through the aisles filled with expensive items).
The tension becomes palpable as he reaches the storage room where the shipment is kept...
Thug 1: (whispers) Alright, let's do this. We move in silence, remember?
？？？
(follows the group into the storage room)
The lights are dim, and he can barely make out the shapes of the crates filled with luxury goods.
Thug 2: (grunts) Over here. These are the ones we want
？？？
*watch in awe as the thugs expertly disarm the security system and begin loading the crates onto a waiting van*
？？？
(nervously) What about the alarms? Won't they go off when we leave?
[info: Here “go off” means start ringing]
Thug 1: (smirks) Don't worry, we've taken care of that. Now, let's get out of here before the cops arrive.
？？？
(follows the group out of the storage room)
As you reaches the van, he breathed a sigh of relief when he sees that the alarms haven't gone off yet.
Thug 3: (frowns) Hold up, we're missing something.
？？？
(nervously) What is it? Did we forget something?
Thug 2: (grunts) Yeah, the security footage. We can't leave any evidence behind.
As he watches in horror, Thug 1 pulls out a crowbar and gave it to him.
Thug 1: Go and smash that camera.
？？？
(goes inside wearing a mask)
？？？
(begins smashing the security camera mounted on the wall)
The camera shatters, and he holds his breath, waiting for the alarms to go off.
Thug 1: (grins) Got it. Now let's get out of here before anyone notices.
？？？
(follows him out of the building while heart still racing from the adrenaline rush)
Thug 2: (walks behind him) (smirks)
A sickening crack echoed as the rod made the contact with the skull.
？？？
(feels a sharp pain on the back of his head and everything goes black)
•EPISODE 3•
He looks at the room and it was quite unfamiliar to him.
The room was way too luxurious for him to afford.
？？？
Sh!t! It feels like my skull is splitting...open. (groans)
Every word was a struggle to speak as he tried to sit up.
A doctor walks into the room.
Doctor
*looks down at his chart before looking up at him* Good morning. (smiles)
Doctor
Can you hear me? I'm Dr. Smith.
Doctor
You've had a fall and hit your head. How are you feeling?
？？？
(looks around, confused and frightened)
？？？
My head... where am I? What is this place?
Doctor
You're in the hospital. You've sustained a head injury.
Doctor
Sir, what's your name?
？？？
My name is...Vin and...someone hit me...(touches his head lightly)
Doctor
According to your ID, your name is Arlo Everett. Can you tell me what you last remember?
？？？
No, I'm Vin. I don't know who Arlo is....
？？？
I was... I was in the alley, and someone attacked me. But this place... it's different. I don't belong here...
Doctor
[thinks] It's possible that the head injury is causing confusion or memory issues.
Doctor
Let's take one step at a time. Can you move your fingers and toes for me?
？？？
(hesitantly moves their fingers and toes while wincing)
Doctor
Good. Now, I'm going to ask a few more questions, and then we'll get some scans to ensure there's no serious damage.
Doctor
Do you have any family or friends?
？？？
I-I don't have anyone here. Please, you have to believe me. I'm not who you think I am...
？？？
I come from a place where... where people like me don't get treated in places like this...
Doctor
Alright, Vin. We'll figure this out.
Doctor
For now, try to stay calm and still. We'll get to the bottom of this. You're safe here, and we're going to take good care of you.
The doctor maintains a calm and reassuring demeanor, focusing on the medical assessment while acknowledging the patient's distress.
The person, claiming himself to be Vin, is clearly terrified and disoriented, struggling to understand the situation and convey his true identity.
