SHATTER THE SPOTLIGHT Cutthroat

[ In the hallway of Eclipse Entertainment ]

Kenji ( mc friend)

What the hell was that?

I slam my locker shut, muscles still tense from that disaster with Lucien. His hands on me, his voice in my ear—fuck that.

Lior Nacht

Nothing.

Kenji ( mc friend)

(Kenji scoffs, leaning against the lockers)

Kenji ( mc friend)

That was not nothing. You do realise you told THE KAIJIN TAKAHASHI to leave? More than half of the trainees would kill to have him teach them.

I roll my eyes.

Lior Nacht

They can take my place.

Kenji ( mc friend)

(Whistles low)

Kenji ( mc friend)

Damnn , you really hate him huh.

I don’t answer..

Maybe the TRUTH?

I don’t even know myself what i feel when it comes to Kaijin.

[Eclipse CEO,s office]

Kaijin’s pov:

I sink into the leather chair, one leg bouncing. Director Kwon flips through some files, completely ignoring me. He does this on purpose—a power move.

Fine. Two can play this game.

I stretch, letting my shirt ride up just enough.

He finally looks up, Annoyed.

Director Kwon

Sit properly!

I smirk, but obey.

Kaijin Takahashi

So?

Kaijin Takahashi

What’s this about?

Kwon slides a document on the desk. LIOR NACHT’S file.

I go still

Director Kwon

Fix him.

I blink

Kaijin Takahashi

Fix?

Director Kwon

Make him better. Make him marketable. He needs everything that you have.

I laugh. Shaking my head.

Kaijin Takahashi

You want me to train my competition?

Director Kwon

This ISN’T’ a request

Kwon’s stare is sharp.

He’s serious.

I clench my jaw. Cuz this was never the game I wanted to play.

[Eclipse training room]

Lior’s pov:

The next day I walk into the studio.

My legs freeze.

Kaijin’s already there. Stretching.

Like he owns the place.

Kaijin Takahashi

You’re late, Nacht.

I grit my teeth.

Lior Nacht

I never agreed to this.

Kaijin Takahashi

Too bad. I did.

I exhale sharply. This is the last thing i need.

But If there’s anything worse than losing to Kaijin Takahashi is

TO LETTING HIM CLOSE TO ME

Hi guys. This is the end of chapter 2. Maybe it’s boring but I’ll try to add more layers.
