"Thank all of you for coming out during opening night. It really means a lot to me and the cast. We all worked so hard to put this together, so I hope you enjoy it. Welcome to the first night of Viktor: Time and Trials." said Joseph. The crowd clapped loudly. In a daze, Minhyuk was pushed to the forefront, stamming over his first lines.

Scene one. The wreckage, where Viktor pulls his wife from a horrific traffic incident. Where he takes her lifeless body to a hospital soon after and finds out he can time travel. It all brought back old emotions.

It was like he really was Viktor. Like he'd done everything to save his relationship, but nothing could contest fate.

"Sir, would you like to ride to the hospital with her? Sir, quickly. We have to go. Sir. SIR."

Minhyuk just glanced at the crowd.

"We'll take you. I'm sure you're in shock after all."

"Minhyuk move please. We need to be stage left."

Minhyuk just looked at his cast member. His late 'wife'. He wanted to vomit.

"There was nothing I could do." He said aloud his mic picked up the sound.

"It's okay, let's just get to the hospital."

His castmate pulled him aside and the curtains went down for scene two shortly after. He saw the casts face as they set up quickly, they were looking at him with confusion.

"Where's Hyungwon?" He said, covering his mic this time.

The curtains were open and they were onto the next scene. In the hospital.

He wasn't in position when the scene started and the other actors played along, coaching him to his spot and doing their best to feed him lines, but he couldn't do it.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but your wife...she's deceased."

"No." Minhyuk said, sure it was on the script, still trying to push through, but it was too difficult.

"I know it's hard, but-"

"No. No. Get someone else on stage." He said, finally snapping

"Sir?"

"Where's Hyungwon?" He snatched his mic off and walked off stage, shoving it into someone's hands.

"What the hell are you doing?" Came the harsh whisper of the director, "Are you trying to sabotage my show?" He snapped following Minhyuk to the back exit.

"This is our show. It's not all about you, asshat."

"I knew I should've never chosen you. You're a hopeless dumbass!"

Minhyuk just shoved passed him and went out the exit. He heard Hyungwon scurrying around in the back not grasping the situation.

Minhyuk called Kihyun and he answered immediately.

"Dude, what the hell are you doing up there? Where are you." He whispered, still in the theater.

"Tell Wonho to come outside. I saw him sitting by you and Lina. Tell him I wanna see him now."

"Considering what happened last time you went to see him, I don't think that's a good idea. Just wait. I'm on my way out now."

"Kihyun, tell him to come outside or I'll come inside and make an even bigger scene. I'm trying to be civilized."

Kihyun sighed.

"Don't do anything stupid."

Minhyuk hung up and waited. Wonho came out, he was unbothered.

"Don't make me miss everything. I actually wanna see how this ends." Wonho said when he saw Minhyuk standing outside.

"I'll tell you how it ends."

"No. I hate spoilers."

Wonho waltzed closer to him and held his arms out, "What do you want?"

"I wanna fuck you up." Minhyuk admitted, "You ruined everything. You took everything from me." His fist clenched and he tried to punch Wonho without warning, but he saw it coming and grabbed Minhyuk's arm and shoved him backwards sending him skidding across the pavement.

"I'm not gonna fight you." He said firmly.

"She won't even talk to me." He said from his place on the ground, "I haven't seen her in so long. I don't know where she is or who she's with."

"It's none of your business." Wonho said

"It was."

"You lost it all. None of this was my fault."

"No. It's all your fault and I'm so angry I let it get this far. I should have pushed harder. You. I erased every part of you, but you're still here. Even now."

Wonho shrugged and walked away from Minhyuk who had started to cry without a sound, "I guess some people are just unforgettable."

Minhyuk watched him walk away and he wondered if he was unforgettable. If Seohyun would recall everything he was to her and never let it go. He could only hope he was a permanent mark on her mind and that he would never become a ghost from her past, never to resurrect. He could only pray to reach the same status Wonho had. Unforgettable.
