Chaotic Nights ā Chapter 86. Headache
Translator: Atlas
Weekly Chapter 4/6
“It was opi#m.”
Yuljae bowed to Jihak, who was suffering from a headache. Someone had mixed op#um in the tobacco. Evidently, the culprit was in the house.
“It’s my fault. I couldn’t tell while I was smoking.”
“After you were poisoned, your body became weaker.”
“Don’t complain. Was anyone here?”
Jihak soothed his throat with cold water.
It had the scent of a woman. He asked even though he knew it,
“Eunha.”
A faint smile appeared on Jihak’s face.
That meant that possibly his memories were not a dream. She touched him so sweetly that it didn’t seem real. Jihak didn’t want to wake up.
“The sun has not yet risen. Please sleep some more.”
“What are you doing here? You should close your eyes too. Could it be that the people who want to kill me don’t sleep at night? You know it too, they don’t want to kill me directly. They want me to feel afraid because I may die at any moment.”
Jihak felt stifled, so he opened the window to let in the breeze. It wasn’t the best room in the house. He selected this room for its windows that offered views of the forest, the yard, the entrance, and the backyard.
He didn’t do it because he wanted to keep an eye on the surroundings, but because he wanted to enjoy the wind.
“How are you today?”
“My eyes?”
“Yes, the doctor said your eyesight became more cloudy.”
“Someday I will completely lose my sight. At least I still see Eunha’s face.”
Yuljae stood up clearly annoyed.
After he bowed, he opened the door.
Jihak suddenly ran away. Yuljae, who was surprised, followed him.
He grabbed her arm as she was about to enter the forest.
Eunha looked at him in bewilderment.
She was holding a gardening tool. And a basket on her arm.
“My Lord.”
Jihak tugged on her arm.
“Why are you departing at such a time?”
Eunha showed the items in her hands to the angry man.
“I heard there was a place where the shepherd’s purse grows. I was afraid that when the sun came up, the mountaineers would have trampled them.”
“Shepherd’s Purse?”
“It also looks like some spring grasses have grown. Incidentally, are you all right?”
Eunha touched his forehead. Then she rested her forehead on his shoulder with a smile.
“There are many terrifying animals such as tigers in the mountains. You really don’t know what can happen to you if you climb the mountain right now?”
“I used to walk the mountains to hunt before the sun came up. Then I would go down to the town to rest. I used to eat quite a lot. Then, Master Shihoon would tell me to study. So I’d like to do it again.”
She had the same scent that was in his room.
Jihak took the items in her hands, then pressed their foreheads together.
“I can’t move a step. Remain close to me. You don’t need to climb the mountain, you can r#de me. You don’t need fresh herbs, you can eat me.”
Eunha shook her head. Jihak laughed at his joke, then bit her lip.
Her lips parted. Eunha slowly closed her eyes.
She hugged him.
