Chaotic Nights — Chapter 60. Thirty
Translator: Atlas
Weekly Chapter 1/5
The oil lamp lights were dim.
Eunha turned the page of the book Jihak handed her. Fortunately, it was not the book he had pointed out to her in the bookshop. It was comfortable to read this book.
Even if she did not understand some phrases, Jihak could interpret their meaning.
He looked like he could see, but she decided not to question it. Instinctively, she knew she just had to concentrate on the book to preserve her life longer.
—Jongshin says he will make me his concubine. I feel ashamed when I see Young Master Shihoon. I feel like I walk on needles every day. Let’s escape, Eunha. I’ll let you know when I set the date. I don’t feel comfortable in Harye anymore. I miss you, Eunha. It would be best to burn this letter, it might cause you trouble…
Eunha squeezed the book a little.
She was a fool who thought everything would be solved once her sister left the courtesan house. She believed that her sister would find a place to live, become an ordinary citizen and live a simple life….
She did not consider what Jongshin could do.
She could not even imagine the shock her sister felt because she deeply admired Young Master Shihoon.
As she turned the page, Eunha looked at Jihak’s face. The moon was reflected in the eyes that looked at her as he leaned against the backrest.
Eunha lowered her head in fright. It seemed he could see through her thoughts.
She resented Jihak. It bothered her that he did not allow her to visit her sister.
She felt she had become a pet.
“I’ll read the next chapter.”
In that instant, the lamp’s light, flickering in the breeze, extinguished. Only then did Eunha raise her head in the direction the wind was blowing.
The moon was blurred due to the smoke.
“The wind is strong.”
“I’ll close the window.”
Eunha closed the windows, then turned around.
She abruptly stopped, she was surprised at the unexpected darkness. She would never have thought that if a single lamp was turned off, it would be so dark in the place.
What caught her attention were the red embers.
“Why are you standing there?”
“I can’t see.”
“You’re as blind as I am.”
“It looks that way. It’s too dark…”
Eunha knelt on the floor. As her eyes became accustomed to the darkness, she could see him. He was still looking at her coldly from his position.
“I told you there was something I wanted to hear tonight. Do you remember?”
Of course. But she didn’t want to say anything obsc3ne.
“Otherwise I’ll have to punish you.”
The heated end of the bamboo made contact with her knee. Eunha, who stared at the bamboo, began to speak as if she were possessed.
“I want to know.”
“What?”
She touched her clothes.
“How long will I be your joy?”
Jihak coldly laughed. Finally, she took off her chima jeogori.
“If I read all 30 books, will this fun be over?”
“Yes. Unless I get bored before.”
“Is that right?”
His face brightened in the darkness.
She felt ashamed deep in her heart.
“I suppose you expect me to get bored as soon as possible.”
“It’s not like that…”
Before she knew it, she was kneeling before Jihak. She wore only a thin petticoat. Then she began to fiddle with Jihak’s belt. Her hands were trembling.
“Then explain.”
Her hand groped his crotch.
“Quickly.”
Jihak lifted his chin. She avoided eye contact.
“…I don’t want to receive anything. You can throw me away when you get bored. Cotton or silk is too much of a burden for me.”
