The Middle
Description
After the tragedy of Shin Hyesung’s death, Eric’s life went down a drastic spiral. However, time began to heal his wounds and he even began to seek comfort in another. Nine years later, Eric is almost as happy as he used to be with a family of his own, a beautiful wife and two lovely sons. After being burned by the world’s intense spotlight, he definitely wouldn’t trade his regular life—away from stardom and away from Shinhwa—for anything else in the world.
Or would he…?
One day, a strange envelope filled with pictures of preserved memories arrives at Eric’s doorstep, challenging everything he has rebuilt for himself. Given the chance to reverse everything, will Eric give up his mended life for a second do-over?
Spinoff of Remembrance. A completely different storyline. Only Chapter 15: Special Chapter: November 12th, 2008 is relevant. Will this tale end on a brighter note…?
Inspired by lyrics to Middle by DJ Snake ft. Bipolar Sunshine:
“I hope that I can turn back the time
To make it all alright, all alright for us.
I’ll promise to build a new world for us two
With you in the middle.”
Foreword
“What changed, Eric?”
The way he stared at me, his eyes filled with disbelief and hurt, pained me, making it hard to breathe. All I wanted to do was run to him, grab him, and hold him in my arms.
I stayed rooted in my spot.
“Do… Do you have someone else?”
His voice was a careful whisper. I bit my tongue, the truth muting me.
His eyes widened in shock as he took a step away from me.
“You… betrayed me?”
His words clawed at my hidden scars. How was I supposed to explain? How was I to make him understand that I had grown accustomed to the company of another after fate cruelly tore him away from me?
How was I to tell him that I came from a world where he no longer existed?
[A/N]: TOTALLY EXCITED FOR THIS SPIN OFF!!! Yes, there will be angst, but it won't be too painful (I think) ^^ Completely different plot, but with the same death for Hyesung (from Remembrance). I will update soon! Be ready <3
