In Another World (The Last Empress Fan Fic)

Muse

"HYUK!..HYUK!" was heard in the distance. Confused and puzzled, Hyuk opened his eyes and was greeted by a familiar face, so familiar that he jumped up in confusion.

"AHHHHHHHH!" screamed Hyuk in shock, it took him a second to realise that he was alive again and that the person in front of him was Sunny? 

"Stop dozing, you need to get your shit together, rehearsal starts in 15 minutes." with that she threw a checkered coat at him and stormed out. Hyuk stood there gaping like an idiot. 

'This is way to sudden thought Hyuk to himself what is all of this and why doesn't she recognize me?' 

"Oh just forgot to tell you, you're now a musical actor newbie, is currently in a midst of a rehearsal and Sunny doesn't recognise you because she isn't able to. " 

"And who is this?" Hyuk said out loud to the empty room.

"Who do you think it is? Anyway this is all we are going to tell you."

Hyuk sighed and looked at the time on the clock only to realise he had 5 minutes to go! He quickly threw on his coat and picked up the script.

He sighed again as he saw the script but this time it was a sigh of relief as it was a song he already knew thanks to the royal education he had to suffer through as a kid. It was actually the first time his music lessons had come in handy for anything really.

He sang once and the moment he was done with the last note a staff member came to chase him out of the room and to the stage.

He could hear Sunny already singing on stage, her voice as sweet and delicate as he remembered it. It was one of her most charming points, how such a small petite woman could belt out notes so high and with such comfort.

Hyuk was fanboying so much that he did not realise he had to enter the stage soon. He had to be waken from his song drunken stupor by the same staff yet again who was at this point just slapping him casually.

As Hyuk got ready, it struck him. 

He was going to sing.

On stage.

With Sunny.

Before he could even register the thoughts he was forcibly pushed on stage and by instinct he just started to sing.

Word by word, as he walked closer to the love of his life both in real life and in the play.

Someone that gave him a second chance.

He had to perform well to impress Sunny and win that second chance.

But as he eyes met Sunny's while they were harmonizing, the emotions choked him up and his voice cracked.

"Cut!" a voice called out.
