Sungkyunkwan Scandal: Episode 12

SKKS12
Hear my tale of two in tents
Recap in haiku!

It mocks me. It hurts.
Brought out here, to group-date girls
Get away from me!

You! What have you done?
Is life just a game to you?
Damn your prankster eyes!

Caught you out now, dear
Such violent, fiery concern
Like a lover…, hmm??

Help! Someone, save him!
Have I caused harm? Woe is me!
Save my precious lord!

Boat gone, damage done
Calm now. Wet and sheepish, we.
Whatever next? Rain!

The tent! Put back up
Shelter. Dry. It’s just us now
Us two. Stuck. Alone.

“My fault. I’ve done wrong.”
Depth of feeling, real regret
“Eat. You’ll feel better.”

He sleeps. But he burns!
I can keep him warm at least
This much I can do

Tent drips, wood crackles
My eyes drink him in. But he…
he does not see me

A boat! Take me there!
Not for love or money, lad
Damn the bad weather!

What can happen, hmm??
But just for you, my old friend
I’ll get us over…

Lovers?! Ha! Nonsense!
So…, why this turmoil? This ache?
And…, how does she fare?

Awake. What happened?
Warmth and firewood. He’s tired…
and dirty… and scratched.

“Fool! All for a fire?”
“Your fever down! Just so glad…”
My silly, sweet friend

Don’t you long for her?
Pulse quicken, obsess, hanker
For your kind betrothed?

You speak from your heart?
But me, I think not of it
Not for me, marriage

That cleared, we lighten
We’re comfortable again
Tease, laugh, just be friends

I’ve found us a boat
It’s the ride of a life-time!
Hold on real tight, girl!

“You’re wiped. I’m sorry.”
“I’m fine, I’m just glad I could
do something for you.”

Dear he is to me,
asleep, by my side. My heart…
It feels fit to burst

Such a pull I feel
I draw in, I bend to kiss…
What am I doing?

Rescue! And relief!
And back to earth with a thump
For we can not be…

Mischief Radar pings
Pale faces, awkward stances
Something happened, hee

Hockey! Open House!
A circus! Unbefitting?
Fun? Factional fights?

Hot favourites? Soron!
Joseon F4! The Champions!
In Soo not amused

Will submit. Won’t go.
But, he says, rules allow. Come.
He wants me there! Whee!

Just can’t shake it off!
Oh, that moment of madness
Of sin. Of magic.

Most faithful servant
Can’t rescue this drowning man
This runs deep and dark

This Joseon hockey?
Hate it! The blood, the battle
Soron against Noron

But, the Open House?
Love it! Why, I live for it!
For you? Someone waits

Where is she? The brat!
She gets stranded. She invades
My mind and my soul

How anxious you are!
Oh, the tragedy! Last night…
The island… Daemul…

NO!! It can not be!!
Wait. Here she is. Thank the gods!
And, damn that Yeorim!

Go get rest. No. Wait.
Never leave my sight. Ever.
‘lest I go mad. (SQUEE!!)

Discrete counsel sought.
Can not a man, near and dear,
Be loved by a man?

Feel drawn? Hmm? Why, sure!
For me – Geol Oh! At such times
Turn to the red book!

Read this: You’ll be moved!
And fret not: Hate may be sin
But love is no sin

Hmm… What??!! Forget it!
Oh. Wait. I wonder… Ack! Hmm
Maybe one more look…

More machinations!
For harmony, for progress
Ditch East-versus-West

Clever ploy, old chap
Pitch Garang against Geol Oh
But, me on your team?

“Because you’re with me.”
No. I’m not. I am my own.
Too boring, you are.

Argh! She! Why so slow?
And cute. Have to show her. Touch.
Dash it, so awkward

He’s with him. He laughs.
Pulse quicken, obsess, hanker…
It’s happening. Damn.

Can’t stand this. Must run.
Hate this. Why this searing pain,
this beautiful ache?

Red Messenger strikes!
But this time, with killing force
Bearing the message…

“Joseon for people”
Populist. But murderer.
Justice must be served

Actions, man, not words
Catch the Red Messenger. Or
Wedding deal be off

What’s this? Killing spree?
But not the Red Messenger
I know this, my friend

Girls come to campus!
Directory of studs? No need!
Hyo Eun has got hers

Scholars preen, display
But all the chicks, gravitate
To yummy Yeorim!

Wife. And protégé
Old acquaintances, they meet
Mother. Professor.

Spare her. Punish me.
Cover up misadventure
And we will depart

A professor’s love:
But she would not leave. And I…
I have faith in her

And a mother’s love:
Why her? I can’t lose her too
The road is too hard

He sought That Book hard
For her. To change the world for
His bright shining child

“Father? Here? Why mum?”
“Just survive, one day to look
back on this story”

She seeks him, the boy
who effortlessly won her
But In Soo summons

He woos hard. She scoffs.
Think him her lover? Master?
Hang his presumption!

That red silk she wears
Like when she appeared, aged ten,
at my father’s house…

Crazy Horse a swot??!!
A delightful discovery
of friends and warm smiles

No “date” on this night
But she, has a new dear friend
He, one in his heart

A gulf between us
Of longing, of heart-break, and
Misunderstanding

Fawning Girls! Hiccoughs!
Her sweet smile of amusement
But, time now to flee

I’ll not eat with him
He sits there with his bethrothed
I can not love him

I can not love him
My feelings are forbidden
I’ll not eat with him

Cho Sun! Plot thickens
Hyo Eun sweet to his room-mate
Sun Joon dismissive

Yoon Hee hits back hard
Jealousy and Frustration
Tension palpable

Hyo Eun cosies up
Yoon Hee turns up Cho Sun sweet
Oh, the knives are out!

“Your heart’s with Cho Sun”
“And your engagement’s arranged”
In pain, we lash out

Contrite. Retraction.
“That was before. Now who can
resist this sweet girl.”

Gisaeng not for naught
Cho Sun sees it all. Rising
She drops her bombshell

“The one in your heart
Is not I. But another
Shall I tell you who?”

Steadily advance
Knowing glance. Twinkle in eye
She kisses Sun Joon!!!
