Chapter 38 LFA
Lond Film Award's red carpet
Actors, directors, filmakers, all the stars are gathered here today for the award ceremony. Men wear suits and women wear dresses, all of them are dressed to impress.
The fans are cheering for their favourite actors behind the barrier and if they are lucky, they might get autographs or pictures with the actors.
Reporters can be seen everywhere giving interviews to the actors and directors.
Suddenly, a loud cheering can be heard from the starting point of the red carpet.

Ji Hoon's POV
"This suit feels so tight, even the pants feel uncomfortable. Are you sure this is the right size Emmy?"
*slap
Emmy slaps Ji Hoon's hand.
"Would you have preferred wearing a loose suit?"
"I think it would've been better than this one, I feel so restricted in this."
"Restricted? Are you trying to fight someone at the ceremony?"
"N-no! It's just really uncomfortable. You know I rarely wear this kind of clothes."
"C'mon, stop complaining, you look great! I would totally kiss you right now but I don't wanna ruin my make up."
"You can always redo the make up later..." He brings his face close to Emmy's.
"Not today, I didn't bring any make up with me. You can have as many kisses you want after the ceremony."
"Okay! Deal. By the way what's with your dress? Doesn't it feel chilly on your back?" Emmy is wearing a halterneck dress.
"It's called fashion, Ji Hoon."
"I have to warn you it's freezing outside."
"It will get better once we enter the hall."
"If you say so. We are here, wait inside."
Ji Hoon steps out the car from the opposite side, then he comes around to the other side to open the door for Emmy, he gives her his hand to support her.
When they both step out of the car, they receive a loud cheer from the fans.
"Elroy/Ji Hoon~!"
"Harmony/Emmy~!"
They walk on the red carpet arm in arm while greeting the fans happily. They stop for awhile to give some of the fans their signatures and take some selfies.
Awhile later, a few reporters come up to them.
"Mr. Kim, it's your first time being nominated as an actor, how do you feel?" Reporter A
"A little nervous but manageable. I've been to other award shows because of my career in music, so I'm very excited about this."
"Miss Watts, you look very beautiful today, you have been nominated for two major awards, are you confident in winning them?" Reporter B
"Only today? I thought I look beautiful everyday but thank you! :P Confident? Yes! But all of the other actresses did very well too, so I'll leave it for the judges to decide."
"This is a question for both of you, are you currently dating?" Reporter C
"Woah, didn't expect that question at all, but no we are not (kappa), Emmy and I have been very very good friends for a long time."
"We are actually neighbours!"
"Then do you have anything to say to the Em-Ji shippers out there?"
"All I can say is anything is possible." Emmy said that while winking to the camera.
Ji Hoon just nods his head nervously. (ﾟωﾟ;)
After that, they finally enter the hall. They find their seats which is with the crews. The first thing Ji Hoon do is put his suit jacket over Emmy.
"I saw you shivering outside, just wear it for now."
"Thanks..." (ˊ•͈ ◡ •͈ˋ)
"Hi Mr. Bottle and Mr. Weasel and of course the director! Expecting to win anything tonight?"
"Not really, but you and Emmy are surely the favourites to win your respective award."
"Why aren't the director speaking?"
"Oh, just leave him be, he is always nervous during the award ceremony."
"I see I see..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly, a commotion can be heard from the backstage.
Two men come out from the back, one of them is furious while the other one just stands there not knowing what to do.
"What do you mean can't make it? How can he just cancel it at the last minute? Can't he just let us know sooner? What are we supposed to do now?!"
"I don't know, we are now trying our best to contact any available musician to replace him, but it's gonna take some time..."
"The ceremony is going to begin in ten minutes, we can't wait any longer!"
"But we don't really have much choice... should we delay the opening ceremony?"
"Arghh, damn it!"
"Erm, hello! I've heard you need a musician? Ji Hoon might be able to help you." Emmy speaks suddenly.
"Right right..." Ji Hoon nods his head blankly.
???
"Wait what? Me?" Ji Hoon points at himsef.
"You are musician aren't you? You should help them!"
The two guy turns their sight to Ji Hoon, and look at him with sparkling eyes. ( ✧✧) x2
"Please Mr. Kim, you have to help us!"
"We will pay you after the show. Please!"
*sigh
"Bring me backstage, we will discuss it there."
"Sure sure, this way please."
Ji Hoon glares at Emmy before following them, but she just gives him a 'hwaiting' look.
...
"So, what's music we are gonna play?"
"See... that's the problem, the original performer didn't give us any information about the music, said it was gonna be a surprise."
"He sure gave you two a big surprise by not showing up. So I assume you don't have any backup plan either?"
"Err... hehehe..."
"Give me a minute."
...
"Yeoboseyo, Soo Yeon ah! My darling little sister!"
"You better give me an explaination for calling me at this hour, or I'm gonna kill you when you are back."
"Ahaha... sorry for interrupting you but I really need your help right now. Remember when we were younger I used to play you a song when you couldn't sleep? You have the spare notes for it right? Please send them to me, it's urgent."
Soo Yeon didn't say anything and just hang up the phone.
Seconds later, Ji Hoon receives the notes sent by Soo Yeon.
"Gomawo Soo Yeon ah, you are the best!" He replies the text.
"If I hear my phone rings one more time, I will kill you :)"
(ﾟωﾟ;)...
"Show these music notes to the one playing the instruments now, I will play the piano."
"Okay! Leave it to me."
