"Ugh, I can't believe you weren't looking at the road! Now we're late to check-in at the hotel, and now we have to sleep in the car for two days until the concert. You need to pay attention when you're driving."

"Please, says the one who rammed her car into her parent's house because she didn't she wasn't driving in reverse."

The two voices bickering were the sounds that woke Hana up. She fluttered her eyes open and slowly sat up while clutching her head from pain.

"Oh shoot! She's awake." She heard a voice to her right said.

Hana looked around to figure out where she was. It seemed as if she was in a hospital room with two girls sitting on opposite sides of her.

"Who are you?" She asked the girl to her right.

"Oh! Um... well I'm Kayla! I'm the one who uh.. hit you. I'm very sorry! I didn't see you and I was distracted. You see, there is this band and..." She continues to ramble on leaving the half-asleep girl lost in the dust, trying to figure out what she was saying. The only words Hana clearly heard were group, super, concert, and tonight.

The other girl to her left slapped Kayla as a way to shut her up, "Sorry about her, she's a talker." The girl said, "I'm Sofia, by the way. Again, we're really sorry for hitting you. To be honest we didn't see you until the last minute. It is like you appeared out of nowhere! Weird right?!"

Hana softly chuckled, "Yeah weird." She looked around again to spot a TV in the corner turned on to the local news.

Apparently, Hana is somewhere called Los Angeles, California US. What does U.S. stand for? She'll have to ask later. She narrowed her eyes trying to perceive the other words flashing on the screen, but she was so tired that her brain couldn't identify what words they were.

Since she couldn't do anything else, Hana began to converse with Kayla and Sofia. Hopefully, she can get some useful information out of them, they may know who Zulee, or Taeyong in their world,  is.

"So, you said there is a concert soon? Who is it for?" Hana asked.

Kayla beamed, "Glad you asked! Sofia and I were on our way to the hotel before we ran into you. You see, we were planning to stay here for the weekend since this concert is tonight. The one who is performing is SuperM. Do you know them?"

Hana slowly shook her head, "Never heard of them."

Kayla gasped, and Sofia chuckled, "It's okay that you haven't they just became a group anyways." Sofia began to explain. "SuperM is made up of the most popular members of NCT, WayV, EXO, and SHINee. They are a K-pop band that debuted here in America."

"Who is in the group?" Hana asked.

"Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Ten and Lucas from WayV, and Mark and Taeyong from NCT."

Hana's eyes widened, "Taeyong?" She asked, "Is his last name Lee, by any chance?"

"Yeah.."

"And does he look like this?" Hana pulled out a picture of Zulee from her back pocket. She ripped it out from one of the books back in the Water Palace.

"Yes! And we're going to see him!" Kayla chimed, "Too bad Ryan couldn't join us, he dipped last minute. Now, what are we going to do with this extra ticket."

"Could I come with you guys?" Hana tried.

Kayla seemed hesitant, "Um, I guess, but we barely know you."

Sofia, on the other hand, accepted immediately, "Of course you can. This can be our 'sorry for hitting you.' Right, Kayla."

Kayla sighed, "Sure, you can tag along, I don't want this expensive ticket to go to waste."

Hana smiled, "Thank you."


At the Forum in Los Angeles


"That's good! You boys are free for an hour, until the show starts." The manager told the group. The boys nodded, but Karr (now called Ten) still felt confused.

When he first fell, he immediately found the lost prince. However, it turned out he entered a body, a life we wasn't sure he was capable of living in.

In this world he was Chittaphon Leechaiapornkul, or Ten as his 'fans' call him. He's loved by many, but he will never have anytime to find Hong, it even to be with him.

Surprisingly enough, Karr began to fit in as if it was second nature to him. After all, he is really good at blending in.

He sighed as he began to change, thinking of how Hong is doing, if he is safe, if everyone else is safe.

Karr became lost in his thoughts until a jolt of lightning sparked, almost hitting his face.

Karr turned around to find the source of this lightning and found Prince Zulee standing at the doorway.

"Who are you, what are you doing here, and how do you know who I am?" He calmly questioned as he walked closer to where Karr was standing.

"Your Highness, I-"

"It's Taeyong." The prince corrected, and Karr continued.

"Uh... Taeyong, I am Karr of the Southern Water Tribe, I am here on behalf of the Avatar to come and get you. We need you to stop this war that was, technically started by you."

"Me?" Taeyong laughed, "I never started that war, nor did I ever had a part in the reason of it. That's long behind me and I don't want to have any part of it any more. So, tell your little avatar best of luck."

"But we need you, our world needs you. They all look up to you: Prince Zulee, an honored general, hero." Karr began, but Taeyong finished for him. "Killer, ruthless, heartless. I've ended so many innocent lives for what? Just to see more die in front of my eyes? I realized how wrong I was, and I don't ever go back."

"So you chose to ran away."

"W-what? No I-"

Karr looked Taeyong in the eyes, "That's what the Avatar would say. If you tell her that, she'll tell you that you chose to run away, that you didn't care that more lives are being lost. Is that what you did?"

Taeyong fell silent, did he really not care, or was he just scared? Who is this Avatar anyways?

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear their manager say that they had Ten minutes until the show starts.
