Total Eclipse Part Two

Overview:Total Eclipse is written from a different angle, what if on that day Go Ha-jin in the body of Goryeo girl Hae Soo had first met with the dreaded 3rd prince, Wang Yo even before the other brothers had caught a glimpse of the beauty? How different had the story-line been if Wang Yo had started to fall for the new Hae Soo?

Genre: Romance, Mature themes, Angst, everything that’s pretty much there for a drama to be a drama :D

Part Two

“Ah, please wait a second,” Ha-jin let go of the woman’s hand as she rested herself against the cave walls trying to breathe as much as she could. Breathe girl breathe. Ha-jin felt the familiar dizziness hit her like the one from before.

 “Miss, this is not the time, please try to understand. We must get out of this place before master comes looking for you!” Master? Ha-jin did not have an ounce of rationality left to question what was happening around her. She still believed she was in some kind of strange Joseon-era drama which had no head or tail to be made out of it.

 It was for the first time since coming face to face with the man from before, Ha-jin finally took notice of the surroundings around her. The opening of the cave was visible, flickers of light were coming out of it bathing the entrance with a soft mellow.

“Where are we?” She looked at the woman beside her, quirking her eyebrows in the process. The woman looked shocked at the kind of question thrown towards her. “Miss?” Ha-jin was still waiting for her reply, sensing her irritation the woman replied anyway, “It’s the cave connecting the third prince’s quarters to the eighth prince’s.” Third prince? Eighth prince? Ah, my head is gonna burst into pieces if I don’t get out of this strange place. 

“Water, water...” Ha-jin croaked as they came out of the cave out in the open. The light from the street lamps helped her gain her balance as her companion, god knows who she’s, helped her out. After downing some water in gulps from the nearby river Ha-jin sat down on the rocks to calm her beating heart. This is definitely some bat-shit crazy dream of mine, after all I drank so much this was bound to happen. The woman on the other hand looked at her mistress with pity and sympathy mixed with a tinge of curiosity. Ha-jin was in no mood to drag long something she was yet to figure out so the best thing it seemed was to act along. As she was busy trying to figure out who the woman might be an idea struck. I’ve read it in Isekai manhwas, hope this trick works! Please don’t fail me, she prayed earnestly. 

“Ah, I can’t remember anything...” Ha-jin feigned utter misery at not being able to remember even her own name. Must clarify that name of mine, I mean the name of the person this body belongs to. What did that ruffian say back then? Ugghh! So-ah? Ha-soo?

“Hae-Soo, madam that’s what your name is,” the maid had a pitiful look on her face. Ha-jin could surmise from the woman’s age that she was a servant from the household where the owner of the body used to reside. Now let me see, that time I went down the lake trying to save the child and then I woke up, more like rose up in that pool belonging to that ruffian. Arrggh, I hate that guy’s guts, such handsome face and such utterly disgusting an attitude, shitty might I say. 

“What happened to this person, um?” The woman looked incredulously at her as if she had lost her final strand of sanity as well. Ha-jin realized her mistake as she quickly replaced, “Ah, silly me! What happened to me? How did I even end up there, do you happen to know anything about it?” Ha-jin poked her nose like a tiny mouse about to sniff something interesting.

“Miss you were bathing here,” she pointed towards the river. What? 

“She was?” Ha-jin shook her head again. “I was? In there?” Really? Ha-jin’s eyes widened as she realized a familiar trope she’d read in mangas. Did I transmigrate to a different time period? This definitely is Korea but nowhere near the time I am used to dwell in. Let’s be serious Ha-jin or else people might get suspicious of us! Alright, let’s get this straight.

“Yes miss, you’re bathing while I went to get a spare set of cloth to wipe yourself off, you’d vanished by the time I’d returned .” The maid looked distressed for some reason. “I couldn’t find you anywhere, your highness the queen had been distraught as well.” 

“Wait a minute, who?” Who is this highness she’s talking about, I wonder.

“Your elder sister miss, she has been very worried ever since you went on missing. She hasn’t even had her dinner neither has our master. They’ll are looking out for you. We were all looking for you and that’s when I heard your voice, miss...Oh miss, you must have hit your head against some rock or something” The maid looked scared for some reason. Why, Ha-jin wondered? 

“Who was that guy, ermm if you don’t mind me asking? That guy you just saved me from, who just kept coming at me for no good reason.” Ha-jin felt humiliated and angry for how she was treated by that ruffian. 

“Is that how he treats a woman? More so, is that how a woman should be treated?” She could no longer keep her anger under check, it was beginning to spurt out in flames, but before it got out of hand she put a lid to that over-powering thirst to badmouth someone. Ha-jin was already aware of what disastrous consequences her anger could produce, like slapping her best-friend of a bitch for cheating on her with her own boyfriend at her back and then getting slapped by her boyfriend for being so judicious. That bastard, I don’t even know if this anger is because of that ruffian or my ex! 

“Miss, please calm down. I shouldn’t have let you swim this far having known that there is an underwater tunnel that connects this side of the river to the prince’s palace.” What? Don’t tell me this girl Hae-Soo had swum to that place?!

Meanwhile at the prince’s quarters

The moon-light was falling upon the tatami mats in filtered specks of dust creating an alluring atmosphere soothing the prince’s senses. Ah, how long has it been since I’d been this excited? This excitement, feels familiar like one of those times when I went hunting. A deer, soft and innocent, far removed from the harsh reality of the world, that’s what she looked like, surmised Wang Yo. His body was hot and bothered from all the thinking he had done ever since the appearance of the girl. A mere girl, how in the world is she even able to make me feel this disoriented. He closed his eyes as he remembered how soft her lips looked, the peach-blossom graced her cheeks as well. How her chest heaved when he caught hold of her, her fluttering eyelashes resembling the dainty steps of a gisaeng dancing to the melody of the gayageum. His right hand that held a steaming cup of ginseng tea itched a burning urge to touch the skin of such innocence. He could see how untarnished she was, being a man desired by most women, that he could easily conclude. And that made him even more curious about her. Hae-Soo, huh?

The sentinel standing outside his room was summoned in. Wang Yo had never been this impatient before, apart from taking over the throne, he’d never been like this. 

“Your majesty?” Even the sentinel could see his master was behaving somewhat different, it was a bit erratic and unusual. Wang Yo gripped the earthen cup harshly as he nearly scalded his tongue from the amount of over-thinking he was doing. Damn that girl! 

“Send this letter to my brother Wook, will you?” The sentinel was confused as to why his master was interested in someone he had never shown interest before. 

“It’s time I paid visit to my dear brother,” now that I have got a bird to catch.

THESE ARE WHAT I WISH AND THOUGHTS ;((( Well i just watched this drama and sorry for the lateness lol i think i was too focus on WooSoo/OTWTTA last year. Here are my thoughts about this drama :

✔ 1. This drama is TRAGEDY. I dont really get it why did most drama in 2k16 ended up like this. The ending for the main leads is too tragic, I’m seriously hate it when i have to make my own presvectives for the next life for the main leads. Then how wangso and haesoo tried so hard to stay together but at the end haesoo died in jungs side;(

✔2. Season 2 must be made!!! Just like the Chinese version, i do have a very good vibe that the team/the director must considering to make a season 2. I just cant wait to see wangsoo and haesoo meet in the modern life! But i do really hope the season 2 wouldn’t have the same story like the Chinese one bcz i don’t like it. The story is boring and sorta twisty;(

✔3. This drama is the first drama thia year that make me stay up all night till 5am (ep1-16). it was absolutely a marathon for me yet i didnt finish it that day.

✔4. My eyes were swollen after i watched this drama. Starting from the episode 11 if im not mistaken, i keep crying even in a very little things. The scene when haesoo lost her loved ones are the most memorable for me.

✔5. I’m happy becz long bfr i watched this drama I’ve been knowing many trivias about this drama.

Part Three

Overview:Total Eclipse is written from a different angle, what if on that day Go Ha-jin in the body of Goryeo girl Hae Soo had first met with the dreaded 3rd prince, Wang Yo even before the other brothers had caught a glimpse of the beauty? How different had the story-line been if Wang Yo had started to fall for the new Hae Soo?

Genre: Romance, Mature themes, everything that’s pretty much there for a drama to be a drama :D

                                                 -------------

Ha-jin was yet to come up with an excuse to avoid being suspected or the worst of the cases being found out that she has not Hae-Soo but someone else. But then again, who in the world is going to believe in this Isekai trope? I have to be careful of what goes about and the best for the time being is to pretend to have lost my memory. She had another concern at hand, being that of the maid who was extra wary of her act. What if she already knows? No, no, I can’t let this happen even if I might have transmigrated this body and this persona is my sole responsibility. I’m not gonna let go of this second chance! For some reason Ha-jin was strangely determined to keep up with the act.

Ha-jin had no idea what a Goryeo household might be like, but she never would have expected to be welcomed by such warm-hearted and kind people like her cousin and her husband. Her cousin had been worried to the extent of being sick and pale, this sight warmed her heart like a breeze of spring over the frozen sheets of winter. How can someone be so concerned, Ha-jin felt her chest tighten at the sight as she stood frozen? Her cousin was a lot older than her hence had taken the place of Hae-Soo’s mother, as her mother had died from post-natal bleeding. Life-long sickness and a poor heart had rendered the once magnificent woman haggard and stick thin. Despite being treated by doctors from far and wide, the poor woman had no relief. Her husband, the eighth prince Wang Wook did everything he could to support his wife but doctors were unable to treat her. Ha-jin had never been fortunate enough to receive the love of a family as she abandoned by her prostitute of a mother before she could even fathom to realize what was happening around her. Although she was just a mere child when the incident took place, she was well aware of her identity as a blemish in the society she was brought up. Although she wasn’t fortunate to receive love from her mother or a father, she would never come to know of, she was grateful to the fates that decided to bestow upon her their blessings on that day as she was left crying at the backdoor of a well-renowned hotel in the capital. By the time she’d realized how she had been abandoned, her mother had already taken off with a wealthy client waiting in the hotel. She must have been lucky for being noticed by one of the cooks who had come to dispose off the expired items only to find little Ha-jin sobbing bitterly. The cook having taken pity on the little girl had taken her with him and days turned into months when the cook realized he had become attached to little Ha-jin who was as lost as a stray cloud out there somewhere. Since the cook was fairly young to be a big brother he had taken the eight year old child as his own sister and brought her up. The helpless child had grown up to be a responsible adult studying in one of the most prestigious medical schools in the republic of Korea. Ha-jin was no stranger to affection as she had been born starved of it but had been grateful enough to have a big brother like the cook so when Lady Hae opened her sickly thin arms to her she could not resist the warmth she exuded and thus hugged her tightly trying to console her for her disappearance.

“Oh Soo-ah, must you pain me like this?” She sobbed with little hiccups here and there, cute, Ha-jin thought. She really does love this girl, doesn’t she? Ha-jin gathered her balled fists around the lady and hugged her like a bear trying to absorb every little drop of honey pouring out of her. Gosh, she feels like home! 

“Big sis please don’t be worried, I got lost while bathing and ended up me-,” suddenly she was cut off by the maid. “Ah! Our poor miss had met with an accident!” At this everyone present from the lady to the master in the household gasped out loud. Lady Hae literally threw a fit over her sister’s health but all was put to rest when they were assured by Hae-Soo herself of having recovered from the accident. Now time for the real drama! Ha-jin let’s buckle up! That maid didn’t even mention my memory loss, hmm something must be going on.

That night after dinner Ha-jin made up her mind to find out all about the world she was living in and in order to do that she needed at least a lead. As she was busy trying to figure what might help her she came across Hae-Soo’s diary, carefully hidden underneath layers of quilts and covers. Seems like someone’s secretive. Bonus for me, now let’s see what you’ve got for me miss Soo! 

The characters although different from modern Korean did have some similarity, despite being at odds she thanked her school teachers for having taught the  traditional script which was helping her now to read through the diary. After a long drawn battle with the characters Ha-jin came to a final conclusion. 

“Okay let’s see, this girl Hae-Soo is originally an orphan having been adopted by Lady Hae’s father. So, we’re not even blood relatives simply by law we’re cousins, despite that seems like they’re pretty close. Lady Hae’s husband is the eighth prince of this kingdom.” Eighth reminded her of the man she had met in the pool. “Isn’t he the third prince or something? Uhh, I shouldn’t be studying history right now.” I just need to get  a brief idea of what this entire world is all about. Ha-jin heard a soft knock followed by Lady Hae’s voice.

“Soo-ah?” She does sound a bit sick. What if I do something for her? No no, Ha-jin remember this is not modern day Korea they might take you for a witch and burn you at stake! I say don’t, stop with those light bulb ideas! 

“Yes big sis, do come in.” Lady Hae was all about motherly love and affection, from pouring water for her cousin to helping her fall asleep by petting her head. Ha-jin finally felt like spitting what had been itching her since the beginning.

“Big sis?” 

“Uh- ha?”

“Just who is this third prince?” At this Lady Hae’s breath hitched and she stopped the soft petting she was doing. Shit! Ha-jin, you messed up once again!

“The third prince?” Lady Hae tried to cover up the shivering coldness that had crept up from the pits of hell making its way to her. “What about him? Don’t you know who he is?” Now what? What do I say?

“Umm, not much apart from the fact that he’s third in the line of succession to the throne.” Wow, Ha-jin this, even a kindergarten child can conclude! 

“It’s natural for you to not know about him despite his quarters being right next to ours. Since you never quite mingled out with people.” At this Ha-jin looked up to the eyes of the matriarch, those dark brown orbs were moist. 

“You’re never quite an out-going child to begin with as you often took to bed because of your poor frame.” What the actual fuck! This girl! I can’t believe this, just because she was sick she stayed indoors? But somehow, somewhere Hae-soo must have seen her or else how in the world did he even know that name?! 

“Does the third prince know about me?” 

“Why such questions Soo-ah?” Her voice shook and trembled for some reason. 

“Just being curious, big sis.” Oh no no, why is she being like that maid? 

“The third prince is not someone who is to be frequented with. He might be my husband’s half-brother but he’s yet to prove that the same blood runs through him!” 

“Just why? Why big sis?” Ha-jin couldn’t keep her emotions under check, just what is wrong with that one guy that everyone seems to be under some malicious spell!

“Because he’s no human, he’s a beast!” 

                                                 ~~~

“Something’s wrong with me...,” Wang Yo said out loud. It was a full moon night, but the clouds were the ones keeping the moon from rising in her full glory. Although it was a chilly winter night he lay on the tatami mats, semi naked wearing only his pants, that too had come loose as his body constantly kept on flaring up. This is not good, I don’t even have those herbs with me. Nor do I have a woman to satiate my hunger. Normally on nights such as these when the moon with its bulbous beauty came up he needed more than a woman to get rid of the pain his body is pushed to. But today he just didn’t feel like associating himself with any as every time he made up his mind to send for one of the chambermaids he was pulled back by those innocent doe-like eyes he had met earlier. He was completely at loss as to why it was happening to him. 

His nipples were painfully erect and his chest heaved like a beast in heat, which he was. What astonished him was his body’s sheer obstinacy at rejecting every woman that had entered his chambers in hopes of being fucked by the mighty man. But for some reason he felt utterly repelled by their presence, the only body his body felt could he have to himself was that of the forbidden bird that dwelt in the house of his half-brother.  

Before the pain got out of hand he had to do something, so the next thing he did was call his guards and told them he was going out and repeatedly told them not to follow him. “And yes, about this night, keep it a secret from my mother. If she asks for me tell her I’d gone to sleep early.” And with that he sprang like a mad dog towards the river, the scent was maddening. He couldn’t bear it anymore. It smelt familiar but for some reason he couldn’t put a finger on it.

                                                       ~~~

Ha-jin felt like calming her breath after the vague conversation with Lady Hae from before. Just what in the world are you, that everyone seems to abhor you? No matter how repulsive he might be to everyone but to Ha-jin from that single encounter she’d had with him was enough for her to feel queasy for someone, his face had made her stomach churn, but not in a bad way. As she was busy staring into the fresh river water she realized a shadow upon her hunched stature. Scared of who or what it might be behind her she didn’t turn back right away only to be frozen to the spot as she felt hot breath burn against her neck followed by low a guttural moan. Eeerk! Ha-jin ah, we’re gonna die whoever it is!

“So I wondered what sweet flower might be blooming at night near the river, as the beasts awaken.”
