chapter 26
26 – Episode 26 Bed-Sharing
– 1.
– He listened carefully to the sound of water nearby.
– Should I wash up too?
– They say watching a woman bathe is a kind of romance.
– Especially when the main characters are all beautiful. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you must watch it if you possess their bodies.
– The problem is, I am blind.
– Since I can’t see anyway, can’t I bathe together?
– With that thought in mind, there was a big commotion when we entered the water.
– After causing a commotion with water play, I felt warm water and was taking a bath. Then Fang Yahua hugged me.
– Naked.
– I knew that Fang Yahua had a big chest.
– But this time, directly, and in a state of undress, I felt the weight of it.
– And… My face turned red from the sensation against my bare skin.
– I didn’t know she would get embarrassed every time something like this happened.
– “Um… It’s a bit inappropriate
“Did you think Eunho and I didn’t know what you were doing?”
“?!”
It was not the usual blunt voice of Pangya, but she spoke with a slightly melancholic voice. Somehow, it seemed like her lips were slightly pouted.
“… I want to do it too.”
I reached out my hand and gently stroked her head as if she were someone younger. Since she was wet, it didn’t have the usual fluffy texture, but it was still soft.
“Not that. Like a kiss. Do it with your mouth.”
“Cough.. cough!”
Harin, who was listening from the side, coughed. She had been forbidden from doing that at all, and I also said I was sorry.
“……….”
It seemed like Pangya was definitely in a bad mood.

“Who will you carry next time?”
Harin asked. But she seemed to subtly glance at Pangya as if checking the situation.
It seemed like she was implying that Pangya needed to be cheered up.
“Pangya, may I carry you?”
“……….”
Pangya didn’t respond or make a sound. But Harin, speaking in place of me as a blind person, whispered, “It seems like it’s okay.”
But without saying anything, she squatted down in front of me without a clue and sat down.
I cautiously carried Pangya on my back.
Even though this was a reversal world, I was worried that she might be heavy for me, but of course, Pangya lifted me up quickly.
“Whoosh!”
As we started to run, a cool breeze brushed against my face.
“……………….”
“……………….”
We were silent for a while. I was contemplating.
Should I comfort Pangya here?
I had been told not to half-heartedly give my heart to others…
But. Pangya had also risked her life to protect me from the school bullies.
Even though our first meeting wasn’t great. She had tried to forcibly take me away like a delinquent on the first day we met, and beaten Eunha mercilessly.
Still, it’s true that you like me.
I hesitated for a moment before asking,
“Pang-ya-hwa. You’ve changed the way you talk.”
“….. Did you notice just now?”
The tone was still listless. but the way of speaking has changed a little.
“No. I knew it from before, but I never had the chance to ask.”
“………..”
There was silence for a moment.
“…… My father always told me to think before speaking to someone direct like me. So… I tried to think about it and change my way of speaking. But I knew it was useless.”
“I see.”
“…. Since you asked too, do you think I’m worth considering compared to younger people…Is there anything that is worse than that?”
Oh… looks like she is pouting.
“I don’t think Pang-ya-hwa is inferior to someone younger.”
“Then why don’t you hug me first? Or give me a kiss or something?”
Though knowing it’s an unreasonable request, Pang-ya-hwa complained like a kid.
“Huh!”
“Huh?!”
I whispered in her ear, just as I did to my younger partner before.
“Eek..stop.. what are you doing…”
Everyone seems to have weak ears.
I, too, reacted to her arousing moaning voice.
“If you endure it, I’ll reward you.”
Honestly, I felt more nervous than before. If I lose focus at this speed, Kang-hwa, who didn’t reinforce his blood, might get hurt, unlike Pang-ya-hwa who is already a skilled martial artist.
“Ah… yes… ♡”
“A rather manly moan… It’s quite charming.”
Pang-ya-hwa turned her head to get away from me, but it was no use because I stubbornly clung to her.
“Haa… ha.. stop it. This is… too much…”
It would be a situation where it would be nerve-wracking for a man to stand up straight and run at full speed. Hearing her words, I let go of my ear.
“We’ve done well, haven’t we?”
“Yeah…”
“You have quite weak hearing, Pangyahwa.”
“……..Ugh…”
“Since you couldn’t endure, there’s no reward for you~”

After running for a while, Eunho and his group settled in the forest.
“We should sleep here tonight.”
“Set up the tent.”
I tried to help but was stopped.
“Why are there two tents?”
“Ah…”
Hana-rin made a face as if she had lost.
“We prepared for just Confucius and me to come… We had everything ready knowing that you two would follow, except for the tent.”
The three of them glanced at Eunho. Eunho himself seemed to have no thoughts.
If everyone was female, they would have all slept in the same tent. But Eunho wasn’t a girl.
“I’ll sleep with Eunho.”
“…I want to sleep with him too.”
Their eyes clashed once again. Their fights had become tiresome after seeing them multiple times. Eunho spoke with a chubby expression.
“Let’s play rock-paper-scissors.”
“…Rock-paper-scissors?”
“It’s done like this.”
“Hmm… it’s similar to Chun-Gwon.”
In the past, it was called Chun-Gwon instead of rock-paper-scissors.
Anyway, they used the most fair method in the world, rock-paper-scissors, to determine who would sleep with Eunho.
Eunho didn’t feel burdened about sleeping together.
He had slept with his sister before. What’s the big deal about sleeping with someone?
If anything, Pangyahwa embracing him naked today was more embarrassing.
“Ugh… This is unbelievable.”
“…….I won.”
The result was a victory for Paengyahwa.
“Well then, let’s take turns sleeping on the way until we arrive. In this order.”
Eunho remained calm, causing the girls to be slightly puzzled. Did men usually not care about these things?
The night grew deeper.
*Sizzle…*
Hanaarin roasted meat on a wide stone slab behind the fan-shaped firewood.
The flames licked at her flaming techniques.
“What kind of martial arts does Arin use?”
“I don’t have any specific martial arts. I simply embody the natural elements with my sword and body.”
Yeonhwan, who had been sulking from losing in the game, asked with curiosity, “By the way, Eunho seemed pleased that Mangju’s sword had no specific elements or martial arts. What does that have to do with anything?”
Hanaarin replied to that question, “It’s simple. Learning martial arts is like painting on a blank canvas. Even if you consider the drawings on your body and the sword as mistakes, they will never vanish forever.”
“…Like a painting?”
“For example, Hwasanpa cultivates plum blossoms. Even if the person capable of cultivating plum blossoms changes their faction late, the painted picture of that plum blossom will not disappear. That is the martial arts painting. It’s only a matter of whether you paint it early or late.”
“Then, is it better to paint it later?”
Paengyahwa also wondered and asked, “There’s a saying that goes ‘One learns the essentials first.’ Painting it later doesn’t mean learning it late. It means raising oneself beyond a certain level without relying on special martial arts or techniques. That represents the canvas getting bigger. The bigger the canvas, the larger the painting.”
Eunho summarized it briefly while listening.
“So, if you learn it early, you can make mistakes or develop bad habits, but you can quickly master martial arts. On the other hand, if you only focus on basic training without any special martial arts, you can learn more solidly at a higher level, right?”
“Yes, that’s accurate. It seems like Yuadokjon had his sights on that too.”
Without realizing it, they savored the cooked meat and it was time to sleep.
“Eunho, if anything happens, shout out. We’ll come to your rescue immediately.”
“Yeongha, I’m not sleeping with Norim nor Paengyahwa.”
“That’s why it’s a problem.”
Was Paengyahwa not considering herself as a woman? She felt a slight blow to her pride, while Yeonhwan worried about Eunho, who seemed to be too innocent and defenseless.
.
.
.
“…….Goodnight.”
“Mm… Goodnight.”
It felt like a considerable amount of time had passed, but for some reason, Eunho couldn’t fall asleep.
…Why is this happening? I can’t sleep.
Even though I intentionally tried to induce sleep by pressing on my arm to simulate blood flow, it didn’t seem to have any effect other than making my eyes tired.
Stab, stab. The sound of crickets can be heard. It’s already late autumn, yet there are still insects around.
Crackle. The bed rustles.
After that, silence filled the room.
Thump, thump. How quiet it is, I can hear my own heartbeat.
Thump, thump. Huh? It seems a bit… faster.
Swoosh. The sound of the bed shifting gives the impression that it is approaching.
It didn’t seem like her sleeping habits were very calm.
“Mm….”
“…?!”
She, like a baby, clung to me and started sleeping.
Although Fang Ya Hua’s body is not that of a baby.
I could feel her ample chest against my arms.
It was then that Eunho realized why he couldn’t fall asleep.
“……….”
‘Is sleeping with someone of the opposite s*x really such an awkward thing?’
Apart from my grandmother and my sister from my previous life, I had never slept with anyone before, so I didn’t know.
I hadn’t thought much of it, but it seemed that my body felt differently.
“Ugh…”
Fang Ya Hua’s breath touched my neck, causing me to feel breathless. When I relaxed and breathed comfortably… I felt somewhat embarrassed.
In the end, I also turned over and went beneath Fang Ya Hua.
My heart raced. I remembered the events of the day, and it felt strange.
Held tightly in Fang Ya Hua’s embrace, I buried my face into her chest as if seeking revenge.
…It’s warm.
Heun slept a little late that day.
