Chapter Text
5 years later….
‘Am I dead?’ Sunghoon was confused, as he slowly opens his eyes. His vision blurry.
‘My ring? I need my-’
“ring!” Sunghoon jolted up in panic, eyes scanning the room. ‘Where am I?’ He frowns seeing the oxygen mask and IV drip. He takes the mask off, as he tries to think where he is. He was obviously in a hospital. The room was big with a couch, tv, a kitchenette and a door he assumes to be the bathroom. Isn't this way too luxurious? Sunghoon remembers getting hit by a car after picking up his wedding ring.
‘My ring?!’ He checked his hand but it wasn't there.
‘Was his hand like this? Why is it smooth?' He worked hard even when he was young so his hand was callous. It was one of the things that made him conscious whenever Jay and him would hold hands. Also his skin? He stares at it. His skin was as white as snow?
He was just about to have another panic attack when the door opened revealing a woman in her 50’s.
‘Young…master?...you're awake? awake!” she says in disbelief, eyes widen in surprise as quickly as the tears stream down her face. Sunghoon’s eyes widened when she slapped her cheeks.
“Who are-” Sunghoon didn't finish his question as the woman shut the door.
“Nurse! Nurse! Thank heavens! Nurse!” he could hear the woman yell. Sunghoon was very confused. Scanning the room his eyes lands at the button on his bedside table with a label 'Press to call attention'. Well, that's interesting.
The woman came back a moment later with a doctor and three nurses in tow.
“What are you doing?” Sunghoon was squirming away.
“Young master, please let them check on you.” The woman was begging him. Sunghoon doesn't have the heart to make the woman suffer more so he stayed still.
“We’ll just run some tests until then he's under observation.”
“Thank you doctor!" The medical staff was about to leave so Sunghoon decided to satiate his curiosity.
“Young master, I'm so glad you're finally awa-”
“Yeah, I'm glad but first who are you?” he cuts her off. Like a fish out of the water the woman's mouth opens and closes from the shock.
“Eh?!” She gasps, Sunghoon probably should've kept his mouth shut. Not only did the woman stop but the medical team froze and slowly turned back.
‘Great, just great.’ He thought.

“It seems the young master has amnesia but don't worry I'll assist you in regaining your memory, if not then I'll just introduce everything to you again,” the old woman says as she peels an apple.
“I'm telling you ma'am I don't have amnesia.” Sunghoon has been going back and forth with the sweet old woman.
“You're polite and respectful, definitely have amnesia.” She said matter-of-fact.
“I do remember everything. My name is Park Sunghoon…”
“Yes yes, the young master’s name is Park Sunghoon. It seems you haven't forgotten your name. That's wonderful. Sunghoon facepalm. He doesn't know what to do anymore.
“Young master is also the first male figure skater Olympic gold medalist of the country. The youngest athlete to earn gold and has many achievements under his belt. Unfortunately, got into an accident while training for the 20xx Winter Olympics falling into a coma. The heir of the Park Group of companies but has stubbornly denied such position. Inherited the late chairman - your grandfather's mansion and other properties. Bless his soul. Have an estranged relationship with the Master and absolutely hate the Mistress turned Madam. As for the step-brother, I do not know much. Do I have to add more?” The woman supplied.
Sunghoon gapes at her, that was quite detailed.
“Wow, you should be a writer!” he muse. The old woman clicked her tongue.
“I believe the young master needs rest. It seems aside from your name you have forgotten the rest. Fear not, I shall help you as always.” She then placed the plate full of sliced apples on his lap.
“Oh, thank you. Come here, let's share.” The woman shakes her head.
"My poor young master," he heard her mumble, sadness in her voice.
“I have already informed the family, unfortunately, the Master is still on a business trip,” the woman informs him.
‘Family?’ Sunghoon was confused, he doesn't have one. Well, Jake said his family is his family so he guess he did have one. Jay? his in-laws? oh yeah they're his family as well. Jay and Tita said so. Hey, he does have a family. Two to be exact.
“That's funny!” He chuckles but the woman just stares at him making him choke on his apple.
“Well, it seems I have a lot to do.”
“I've called young master Sunoo to accompany you. He wished to be informed the moment you wake up.”
“Sunoo?”
“Yes, young master’s best friend. If you'll excuse me.” Sunghoon was utterly confuse.
‘Am I in a sitcom?’
‘Is this a prank?’
“Jake, you can come out now!” He called out. He heard rush foots approaching.
“Dude, what the heck are yo-” the door opened and standing there was a guy with fox eyes, snot and tears streaming down his face.
“Who the fuck are you?!” Sunghoon couldn't help not to curse.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
“Hoonie hyung!!!” The Sunoo guy rushed inside pulling Sunghoon into a hug.
“Finally hyung, you're awake!” Sunghoon couldn't breathe so he tapped the guy's back.
“Let…me… go” he squeaks. Sunoo giggled awkwardly as he let Sunghoon go.
“Sorry,” but he doesn't even look sorry. Sunghoon just let out a sigh. This day has been tiring. He's in the hospital and there's this woman calling him young master telling him he's an ice skater and a chaebol. This fox guy with a self installed water tank who can't stop crying is his supposed best friend. Then it hits him. He should've known. He tried pinching and slapping his face but this wasn't a dream. Of course. If he can't go the logical route then fantasy it is. Sunghoon felt proud cracking the mystery.
“You! Tell me what the plot of the book is!” He pointed at Sunoo who was still quietly sobbing, making a cup of coffee in the kitchenette in the corner of the room. The fox guy reasoned he needs to confirm he isn't dreaming.
“Eh?” Sunoo looks so surprised. Of course, Sunghoon understands he should have known Sunoo is a character, he wouldn't know he's in a book written by some lazy-ass person (A/N: Hey!)
“So, are you a knight? A prince? A ceo? An actor? An esper? A dragon? A long-forgotten deity? What are you?” Sunoo gapes, body frozen in shock, hand stopped stirring his coffee.
“What.are.you?” Sunghoon demands, eyes sharp, staring at Sunoo with an arched eyebrow.
“Hu…man,” Sunoo squeaks.
“Human?” Sunghoon wonders. Eyes scanning Sunoo, who squirms under his intimidating gaze.
“You turn into a fox?” Sunghoon looks at him inquisitively. Sunoo shakes his head.
“So just a human? A normal one?” Sunoo nods in agreement. Confusion and worry on his face.
Sunghoon let out a sigh, that means one thing. He doesn't want to believe it but he guesses this is his reality. Sunghoon transmigrated not in a fantasy book or some shit just the cliche chaebol stories and dramas Heesung secretly watched when he's stressed.
“Am I supposed to be the female lead?” Sunghoon questions loudly. Sunoo gapes in shock once more.
“Mouth.” Sunghoon tells him, as he massages his temple from stress. The fox guy was obedient enough and closed his mouth.
“So, who's my man?” He questions himself, as he tries to figure things out. He checked his body under the blanket.
‘Great, it seems he didn't turn into a woman.” Sunghoon was deep in thought forgetting about his supposed best friend in the room, who was frantically typing on his phone.
‘Maybe I'm the villain?’
‘The second lead?’
He doesn't know much, damn it. His knowledge about these things came from the stories of Jake’s sister who was obsessed with such stories.
“Can you help me out?” Sunghoon seems to remember there was another person in the room.
“Do you have any idea who's the main lead? Maybe the boss of a gang, a cold-hearted CEO, a forgotten childhood friend?” he offers. Sunoo shakes his head as he rushes to his side.
“Hyung, I guess this whole amnesia thing really did numbers on your head.” He says, voice laced with worry.
“I told you I don't have amn-”
“Don't worry hyung, he's on his way.” Sunoo cuts him off. Sunghoon smiles at that, great, he'll finally know who the other main lead was when the door suddenly opens.
“Hyung, you're finally here!” Sunoo jumps in excitement and relief.
It was Sunghoon who now gaped out of shock, standing before him was someone who he knew well. The voice, the face, those concerned eyes…

“Lee Heesung!” Sunghoon shouts in disbelief, eyes shocked from the revelation.
