Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (Wang Eun)

Chapter 2

      JinSoul and HaJin still felt like they were floating some how. Also their hearts slowly starting beating again causing them to feel everything in their bodies. Suddenly, it felt like they needed to breathe again so they both popped up what felt like water again. Their bodies felt heavy like if their wearing many layers of clothing.

      As soon as JinSoul could wipe her eyes to get rid of the water on her face she felt something bump into her from behind. She slowly turned around and face a boy who had his hair in a ponytail and had some sort or bandana on. "AH!" All three screamed as they saw each other. "Girls?" They heard more voices. After screaming JinSoul and HaJin looked up and saw there was more than one boy.

      "Psh! Lady Hae Soo! Princess JinSoul!" A voice whisper loudly. HaJin didn't quite look at first but then the voice called JinSoul. Making both their heads turn while the boys were shocked that them two are in the royal bath. The girl waved her hand basically telling them to follow her. "Get them!" One of them shouted at the one who bumped into JinSoul. He was struggling to get up from the water as JinSoul and HaJin got to land and started running with the girl who called them.

      They made it inside a tunnel which led a river full of naked people inside the river. "Um, excuse me," JinSoul went in front of HaJin, who was slowly panicking as she looked around. "Yeah?" The girl answered. "Um...where exactly are we?" The girl gasped. "Aish, princess JinSoul how can you not know your in Goryeo Dynasty."

      Both were back on having shocked impressions on their faces and looked at one another. "We're in the 10th century?" HaJin whispered over to JinSoul. JinSoul and HaJin started laughing hysterically and looked over at the girl who brought them to the river. She then started laughing nervously not getting why them two were laughing, but she decided to join them. It didn't take long before both women fainted and fell onto the floor.

      "Ugh," JinSoul gently rubbed her head before opening her eyes. "Am I dead?" JinSoul asked herself. "Of course not JinSoul." A voice laughed. JinSoul widened her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her. "W-Who are you?" JinSoul clutched on the sheets that were over her. The girl had her hair tied up to a ponytail and was wearing armor sighed. "You must have hit your head pretty hard to be able to forget plus we thought we lost you nuna."

(Nuna means older sister)

      JinSoul took a wild guess, "oh, have I. Well, I'm sorry for worrying you and who else?" The girl chuckled and hit her forehead lightly. "You must head your head against a rock nuna. I'll introduce myself so you can remember me." She cleared her throat. "I'm Park Soon-Duk, and your Park JinSoul my older sister. Our father is a general, Park Soo Kyun and our mother is Park Chaeyoung, she's a noble." JinSoul told herself that she'll try hard to remember those details.

      "Oh! I almost forgot your a princess, JinSoul. I'm also a princess as well which means we are royalty." Soon-Duk made sure she didn't forget that pacific detail. "I shall make you some warm soup and get your energy up. Call me if you need me." Soon-Duk got up from her knees and started making her way to the door. "Wait!" JinSoul called out, causing Soon-Duk to immediately turn. "Ne?"

      "Well...since I'm your nuna," JinSoul paused. "How old am I really?"

      "See, I'm seventeen and your twenty." Soon-Duk smiled at me. JinSoul faked laughed, "oh, I knew that I was just testing you. See, I didn't hit my head that hard." Soon-Duk laughed and furrowed her eyebrows before leaving the room. Once she closed the slide doors JinSoul immediately popped up from bed, and started freaking out. "How did I go back in time this far? And am I really dead or an I alive?" JinSoul started overthinking and her heart started to race. "Calm down JinSoul, your gonna be fine. Everything is fine." She gently padded her chest, easing herself down.

      As she was walking around the room looking at certain things, she found something that look like a little makeup set. JinSoul kneel down and picked up the mirror and looked at herself. "Thank the lord I have the same face." JinSoul said, while feeling her cheeks. Suddenly, she heard three little knocks on the door. She ran back onto her bed and spoke, "come in."

      Am older man slides the doors open and his face completely lit up once he saw JinSoul. "Oh my JinSoul your alive and well." He hugged her tight, but she didn't know if she should hug him or not. But thankfully she recognized the outfit he was wearing. "Appa?" She spoke softly onto his shoulder. "Ah, you remember me." He pulled away and smiled at her. JinSoul gave him a little smile, making his heart melt of finally having both his daughters with him. "Don't you ever ran away from home again." He scolded.

      'I ran away?' JinSoul thought in her head. "You would always run away so you can see the moon and stars light up at night. And since you always do that I thought something bad happened to you well you were gone because you haven't came back." JinSoul's appa sighed. "Oh, I'm so sorry a-appa." JinSoul hesitated at first. "I promise it won't happen again." He gave her one last hug before leaving her room. Just when she thought she was gonna be alone, Soon-Duk came in with a bowl with steam coming out of it.

"Here you go." Soon-Duk placed it on top of a little table that was in JinSoul's room. "Eat it while it's warm." Soon-Duk smiled. "Thank you." JinSoul bowed and sat on her knees. "Can I ask you something really quick?" JinSoul asked without looking at Soon-Duk. "Ne."

"Um...do you know where Lady Hae Soo is?" JinSoul asked, as she took a little sip of the soup. "Um," Soon-Duk paused. "I think she's at the 8th prince wife's palace." JinSoul hummed and nodded. "May I pay her a visit?" She glance over to Soon-Duk, slightly giving her puppy eyes. Not to long Soon-Duk sighed and huffed. "Fine, but I thought you two weren't friends?"

      'Weren't friends', JinSoul thought in her head. "We must have gotten into a misunderstanding, but it's all fine now."

      "Alright, but come before sun down or I'll come get you." Soon-Duk warned. JinSoul nervously laughed and nodded. "I will." JinSoul quickly finished her soup and started walking out of her room. She closed the slide doors behind and grabbed a piece that fallen to her face and placed it behind her right ear. Her hair wasn't up or pinned back, it was flown freely.

      She looked both way before deciding which way she was taking. JinSoul started walking left and started making her way out of the palace. Once she got outside she walked further and saw horses just eating the grass. So she thought maybe riding one wouldn't be so bad, plus she already knew had to ride one so it wouldn't be hard.
