“No, does that mean I’m okay? Are you saying such embarrassing things in front of Lady Choa?!”
“Oh, you, who’s already infamous as a dung beetle, have nothing more to lose.”
“Infamous as a dung beetle? Who’s saying that about me?”
As if threatened to be exposed, Daebok avoided Yeonwoo’s gaze.
“Well, anyway! Whether it’s dung beetle or bedwetter, what’s the difference when you gain another nickname?”
“I have my dignity too, you know?”
Yeonwoo replied boldly.
Even though she disguised herself as a man, she was a clever woman. She had no desire to discuss the strength of urine or man’s strength.
In the midst of this, Daebok, who never gave up, persisted stubbornly.
“I’m giving you a chance to show gratitude to my brother.”
“This is embarrassing enough. How could it be a chance to show gratitude?”
“Do you remember the meat I gave you during the face-shaving ceremony? It’s time for you to repay the favor.”
“Ugh, insufferable….”
With these words, Yeonwoo had nothing more to say. In the end, pushed by Daebok, Yeonwoo walked awkwardly toward Choa.
“Lady Choa…”
“Yes?”
“Could you… perhaps gather some good medicine for a cold and herbs for samgyetang? And also, do you know what medicine to take when one’s mind is unwell?”
“Your mind is unwell? What happened?”
Unable to decide how to answer Choa’s question, Yeonwoo hesitated and mumbled.
“No, it was just a random comment. Please don’t mind.”
In the end, Yeonwoo had to give up on getting medicine for Geon’s mental health. Yeonwoo moved on to the last remaining task.
“There’s one more thing I’d like to ask…”
“Please, tell me, Lord Yeonwoo.”
“My, um, urine stream hasn’t been refreshing lately…”
Looking into Choa’s clear eyes, Yeonwoo couldn’t bring herself to speak the embarrassing words. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke with a hesitant voice.
“…Can you make a good medicine for men?”
“Medicine for men?”
Choa blushed at once. As expected, Yeonwoo felt a deep sense of shame.
“Well… yes.”
“Oh my… please come inside for now.”
While following Choa inside, Daebok, who was hiding, cleared his throat discreetly.
“I hope it’s a very effective one, my brother!”
“That burn…”
Yeonwoo glared at Daebok as if she would find the source of the rumor and give them a piece of her mind.
“Here are the herbs for a good tonic and the ingredients for samgyetang.”
Yeonwoo accepted the herbal package Choa handed over. She planned to cook a hearty soup by adding the herbs to a whole chicken.
After a brief hesitation, Choa offered another package that looked identical to the one for the urinary issue.
“This one… is the medicine for men.”
“…Thank you.”
Yeonwoo blushed with embarrassment. Choa’s face also turned red, but even amidst this, she didn’t forget her professional demeanor when explaining about the herbs.
“Medicine for men works effectively in small quantities. If you take too much at once, it might have side effects, so be sure to take it in moderation.”
“Yes, I understand…”
“And since the herbs for the tonic clash with the samgyetang ingredients, don’t take them together.”
“Yes, I’ll be careful…”
“And Lord Yeonwoo…”
“Yes?”
Choa, blushing for a different reason this time, spoke cautiously.
“If you’re free someday… would you consider visiting our house?”
“Visit Lady Choa’s house?”
Yeonwoo’s face turned red with astonishment.
‘Am I being invited right now?!’
Yeonwoo, who had never socialized with same-gender peers of her age, was thoroughly excited by Choa’s invitation. Choa, speaking shyly, said, “I’ve been learning embroidery and calligraphy lately. I want to repay the kindness you showed me last time. S-so, I’ll also offer embroidery in a place where it can benefit the man!” “!” However, Yeonwoo’s fluttering heart quickly turned into anxiety. She didn’t know where the good place for a man was, but to receive embroidery or calligraphy, she would have to expose parts of his body. Therefore, afraid of being exposed as a woman while getting embroidery or calligraphy, she couldn’t readily answer. As Choa misunderstood Yeonwoo’s intentions, a sullen expression appeared on her face. “As expected, it’s an impolite request…” Yeonwoo couldn’t reject the first invitation from a new same-gender friend, and she couldn’t turn away from Choa’s forlorn gaze. However, she couldn’t risk the danger of revealing her identity, so in her dilemma, Yeonwoo thought of one solution. Choa must think of Yeonwoo as a man. Even if she revealed some skin, a grown woman wouldn’t casually undress a man. If the situation seemed risky for embroidery or calligraphy, she could refuse at that time. Yeonwoo pushed her worries aside and said, “No, I’ll definitely come! When should I go?”
