New ficcie…
But this time…I'm gonna incorporate other cultures besides that of Japan…
By the way…I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH GX; NEITHER DOES THE NEXT THING THAT I WILL INCORPORATE IN THIS FANFIC…so do you get it, Jun and Juudai???
Juudai: (from sleep…) H-huh?? Whatever you say…
Jun: (grunts from irritation) Whatever…
You two suck, but anyway, watch what I'm gonna do…(flames spring up from author/ess and evil aura enshrouds, but this all part of author/ess' weird imagination…)
ENJOY!!!!
A/N: A/N: 04-24-'07 – Well, I've revised the whole of this chapter so that it can be a thriller…and also, I've renamed it from the "LEGEND OF JUN-DYANG" to "THE SONG OF JOON-DYANG, THE FAITHFUL". Saw this title from the French version, because Chun-hyang was made into a film (2000, by Im Kwon-taek) in South Korea. Moreover, it was presented at Cannes Film Festival and for it's promotion, they've renamed it as "Le Chant de la Fidèle Chun-hyang". Translation in A/N. Gets?
Some sections may contain Korean characters so I provided a transliteration just in case your browsers do not support Korean characters. Thank you…

Introduction
From the creator of "Predestination" comes a new one…one that has inspired Korean sweethearts everywhere…
…here comes THE SONG OF…JUN-DYANG…THE FAITHFUL???
What if a famous Korean legend becomes suffused with two of the most famous characters of Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Yuki Juudai and Manjyome Jun???
This is the Japanese (or rather, my Yu-Gi-Oh GX) interpretation of "The Legend of Chun-hyang" (춘향가 chun-hyang-ga), wherein our heroine, Seong Chun-hyang (성춘향), daughter of a retired entertainer (기생 ki-saeng), was married secretly to a son of a nobleman (양반 yang-ban), Lee Mong-ryong (이몽룡). When Lee Mong-ryong left for Seoul when his father was summoned by the king to Seoul, out came a new character, Byeon Hak-do (변학도), the new Magistrate (부사 bu-sa) of Namwon, North Jeolla province. He wished that Chun-hyang be his concubine, but being faithful to his husband (while clinging to the traditional ethical doctrine that a woman shall not serve two husbands), refused the cruel magistrate's demands and advances. He threw her into jail, after a series of tortures and threats of death. Meanwhile, Mong-ryong has passed the government exam in Seoul, and is appointed the "Royal Secret Inspector" (암행어사 am-haeng-eo-sa), and, after 3 years, returned to Seoul in the guise of a scholar wearing worn and tattered clothes. When he found out what happened to Namwon and his wife, who was being prepared for execution, he returned to punish the cruel magistrate and rescue his wife.
