Chapter Text

Go Ha Jin’s life was not going to plan. Actually, it’s going downhill rapidly. And he was only twenty-five to make it worse. If he was told that this was how his life was going, he didn’t want to live it. It started so well at the beginning, he had a good up bringing and he passed university, and had a stable job as an independent soap maker. However, it seemed to have been overtaken by his younger brother who had passed medical college and became a doctor. So, he supposed his mother was prouder of her intelligent doctor son than her creative soap making son, who studied chemistry mind you and is intelligent also. Although another reason why she is prouder of her doctor son was the fact he had a pretty girlfriend, while Ha Jin was gay, he felt a lot of shame from his mother about it. But he moved out with his loving boyfriend in a nice apartment and had supportive friends. Things was looking brighter. However, life seemed to want to destroy that as well by having his boyfriend be a complete bastard and his friend being a backstabber by hooking up with each other, and although being caught, dumped Ha Jin instead and took the apartment leaving Ha Jin with mountains of debt. Yeah fuck his life apparently.

This is why Ha Jin currently sat alone on a pier drinking himself to a stupor with a bottle of liquor which he had no clue the units of alcohol it contains, although he didn’t really care wanting the alcohol to wipe all shit out of his mind and forget everything. His mood drastically different from his surroundings which was a warm bright summers day and the laughter of families out boating and swimming. Boy did he feel like an outcast. He lifted his phone up to look at his reflection from the surface. He traced his finger over his lip which had a scar from getting in a physical argument with his now ex-boyfriend. He sighed in sorrow as he looked strained with his warn out face and dark circles under his eyes. He continued to lift the bottle to his lips and let out a small cough from the strength of the alcohol but still felt content from the taste.

‘Wow how my life turned to crap’ He thought to himself in pity, how he hated pity from others but now he pitied himself. The painful irony. As he took another gulp and brush his lips with his sleeves lazily.

His thoughts were interrupted when he saw from his peripheral vision a seemly looking homeless man, with his big hiking bag, and dirty face as if he slept outside for days. Ha Jin couldn’t help but feel bad for him as well, he supposed not everyone has perfect lives as well. He saw the man looking at him, he then saw the man swallowing gulping nothing, he realised that the man wasn’t looking at him but instead the bottle, Ha Jin held out his bottle of alcohol to the man as an offering. Inviting him to a drink. The man smiled and took the bottle like a fish taking the bait. He shrugged his bag off and sat down next to him taking a big gulp of alcohol as he was getting comfortable against the wooden slabs of the pier. Ha Jin couldn’t help but watch the man drinking and staring of into the distance, into the horizon. Ha Jin felt like he had to lift some thoughts of his chest so decided to start up a conversation with the homeless stranger.

“Ajusshi” He started, can’t believing his life took him up to this moment, “Have you ever wanted to sleep for hundreds of years?”

The man didn’t answer, but Ha Jin kind off expected of not getting an answer from him and so continued to talk whether the man is actually listening or is just talking to himself.

“Everything seems to be going wrong and you don’t see any hope of it getting any better.” He stopped to puff at the idea, “You tell yourself “I’m sure things will get better.” Then another thing goes wrong”

He looked away and let out a deep sigh “I would honestly just prefer…to just go to sleep and never wake up again.”

He noted the man shifting into another position to get comfortable, the silence being the only thing to listen to Ha Jin’s open thought.

“I want to forget everything” He admitted honestly, “But it’s not working.” He felt his eyes begin to water as his emotions start to break through.

“That jerk who left me with a pile of dept. That bastard who fooled me and ran off with him. Gosh…” He chuckled at himself, feeling like an idiot, “I should never have trusted anyone.” He felt his anger turning into misery as he turned to the man to continue his emotional rant.

“And you know what? I thought that if I didn’t change, the people I trusted and liked wouldn’t have change either.” He shook his head and looked off as a tear started to fall, “I was wrong though.”

He let out a sob not being able to hold it in any longer.

“How did my life turn out like this?” He asked in anguish, he then cried in frustration putting his head into his lap to cry.

The man next to him watched silently and closed the bottle before putting it down and speaking for the first time.

“Your life can’t change just because you want it to.” He said philosophically, “Maybe if you died and come back to life again.”

Ha Jin couldn’t help but look at the man with confusion as to what the man had just said.

“What?” Ha Jin asked wanting clarification.

The man then lied down on his side, resting his head against his packed hiking bag as a replacement for a pillow. Ha Jin continued to watch him in disbelief that after saying what he did to then go to sleep. He sighed to himself, feeling stupid for talking to the man in the first place as if the man was a counsellor. He hit his chest a couple of times feeling the alcohol taking affect.

He looked of to see a young boy with a bright colour top, holding on to the pillar while reaching his small leg out to reach a rowing boat trying to get himself on. He looked away and sighed to himself thinking about how that boy’s life is going to turn out. Until he heard a splash, he looked over to see the boy disappeared, his eyes widened wondering where he had disappeared off to, he searched around the area to find the boy in the water thrashing around trying to keep himself afloat. In an instant Ha Jin got up and kept watching the little boy he started to panic.

“Oh no” He alarmed himself looking around to see if anyone else there has noticed the boy who looked to be drowning. He turned to the man to ask for help, but he got no response as the man was already fast asleep.

He started to panic even more not knowing what to do, he turned around away from the boy and tried to relax himself saying “No, no! I’m pretty sure someone else saw” he attempted to reassure himself but he looked around to see no one seeing the situation.

“By the time I go in there, someone would have already gone in and save him” He continued to reassure himself, although is being contradicting as he notices no one still had noticed the drowning boy and only him know.

“Ha Jin you don’t need to.” He continued, “No you don’t.” He continued on until he realised, he was only kidding that anyone would bother to see, he decided hell to it and turned around taking his shoes off and began running knowing he was the only one who had to save him.

“Gosh! Why does it have to be me again!” He yelled at himself before leaping of the edge and entering the cold water.

As soon as he had entered people had began to notice that a kid was in the water. One couple even noticed it was their own son. Ha Jin ignored the commotion and continued to swim towards the boy. The father decided also to save his son and jumped onto his boat.

The homeless man opened his eyes awakening noticing the first thing he saw was the man’s shoes, he turned to look and watch the guy swimming towards the endangered boy. He then looked up to notice the sun beginning to change.

At that time Ha Jin was able to support the boy and helped him onto the father’s boat, the boy was now safe. The older man held his hand out to Ha Jin offering a helping hand.

“Grab my hand”

“Okay” Ha Jin began to reach out until he saw something strange.

He notices a solar eclipse, that was definitely strange as the was already a solar eclipse a year ago. All of a sudden, as if he had been attached to an invisible weight, he was plunged down into the cold water and was beginning to drown. He tried to kick harder to the surface and kept his arm out stretched but he was kept held down by an invisible hand attached to his leg and his vision was blearing with the high volume of water impairing his vision. He tried to call out only to watch the air pulling out of him.

He could only see the solar eclipse so vividly. Then flashes of his life appeared right before his eyes. The argument with his boyfriend. The slapping of his friend to be stopped by the boyfriend. He was vulnerable and couldn’t not watch. His vision became darker and darker and fell deeper and deeper.

He didn’t want to end like this. Then all he saw was nothing. The last thing was a ring of the sun.

Notes:

Hope you enjoyed this new chapter for my new fanfiction! I will still be doing my SoSoo Modern Times one-shots but I really wanted to start a new Male! Hae Soo/Wang So fanfic as I always wanted to do one. I didn't change the names as I found out that there are men with these names and also, it's a lot easier.

For those who want to know what actor would play Hae Soo if Soo was male. I envisioned it to be Cha Eunwoo!

Please leave kudos and comments for support! :)
