Became the Blind Male Lead in a Reversed World

31 – Ryu Cheon-hee’s Lips

1.

“…Hmm…! Kek.. cough..”

“Are you okay?”

“Cough.. Yes. It just got stuck in my throat..”

The eel, which was soft until a moment ago, now feels tough. Yeah. Although there was nothing to say, we pretended that there was something to talk about, just so we could eat together alone…

“So, what I wanted to say was…”

“Well… I have something to say.”

Squeeze your head… your head…! Don’t bring something up as if it’s something important and then not say anything!

“About rescuing my brother…”

“Didn’t you mention that earlier?”

“Well… besides that, there is something else to say. Of course.”

Hmm…hmm…

“What kind of girl do you like…”

“Yes? You brought that up to say…”

“Just kidding..! Well…”

“You didn’t do something ‘unscrupulous,’ pretending that there was something important just because you wanted to eat with me, right? Like satisfying your personal desires?”

“Oh…it’s a misunderstanding!!”

After saying that, Hanarin looked at herself.

What is this? He’s right. I just wrapped it up by saying that I want to eat with Eun-in… I just wanted to be involved with the guy whom I’m interested in, wasn’t it?

It’s ridiculous to blame someone else for that…

“I’m sorry. Gong-ja. Actually…”

“Hmph..”

“…?”

“Why are you taking it so seriously? It makes me more confused.”

“Yes..? Weren’t you angry?”

“Where can you find a man who gets angry over something like that?”

No…Isn’t that unusual? If I were a man, I might feel uncomfortable if someone looked at me with a gloomy gaze and said something like “let’s eat together once as if it’s something important” even though they had nothing important.

“If you were honest and said that you wanted to eat together, we would have come together later.”

“Are you upset?”

“I showed you a great place and we had fun, why are you upset? I’m sorry to Yaha and Yeonha, but somehow I became embarrassed. Getting serious all by myself…”

“Ahrin is straightforward.”

“…Not really.”

“No, I mean not just anybody can think about what they’ve done wrong in that situation. It’s not that you, Ahrin, did anything wrong. The fact that you can think that way is amazing.”

“I see…”

Han Ahrin, with a very relaxed expression, ate the remaining eels with Eunho.

“Your ideal type of woman is…”

“Huh? Were you really asking that?”

“Well, I got curious.”

“Eumm….Eumm….Eumm…”

Eunho hesitated.

In my past life, it was a woman who is kind and takes care of me without being uncomfortable.

But after coming here, there was now one priority.

“A woman with a good voice.”

“Ah…”

He only knew the faces of the heroines from the setting house, so as long as they had an ordinary figure and a good voice, he was attracted.

“Hmm.”

After pondering something, Han Ahrin went to the owner to order something.

Eunho, of course, didn’t see, so he thought he would pay for anything. But he was interrupted by Ahrin, who said, “Ing? Why all of a sudden?”

“Uh… I need it.”

“Ahrin, let me pay.”

“What?”

Eunho, noticing a bit late that he was being misunderstood, was stopped by Han Ahrin.

There are some things you can’t allow to be misunderstood.

Being a man and men’s calculations.

Also, it wasn’t just an alternate world, but it was set in the past, so there wasn’t even a concept of going Dutch.

“I didn’t come here because of the bill. Please let me handle it, Kongja. If I can’t even handle this, I will lose face.”

“Umm…”

Eunho thought it was a bit stubborn to insist on saying so much and agreed that he understood.

“He’s quite a stubborn guy, this Confucius.”

“hahahaha…”

“Now, here are some herbs.”

“Herbs?”

“Oh… sir!”

“What’s hurting?”

“Oh. This isn’t something you eat when you’re in pain. It’s…”

“Stop! Let’s go now, Confucius.”

Eunho glanced at Hanarin suspiciously but soon followed her lead and went out of the store.

“It’s not something painful, is it?”

“I swear it’s not.”

Then Eunho smiled mischievously.

“Is it perhaps… eel?”

“?!”

Hanarin was shocked by Eunho’s innocent question. Anyone could tell that it wasn’t about whether Eunho really brought eels or not.

“No! It’s not a herbal remedy of that kind!”

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.”

Should I just tell her…? For a moment, he hesitated; it was embarrassing in another sense.

After finishing their meal and returning to Hanarin’s house, Eunho felt a commotion starting from outside the door.

“I’m the one who’s going!”

“…No, you can’t.”

“What’s going on?”

“Eunho!”

“Please lower your voice when there’s a patient…”

“S-Sorry.”

“…Sorry. But Eunho is also at fault.”

“Me?”

“Eunho!”

“Please lower your voice when there’s a patient…”

“S-Sorry.”

“…Sorry. But Eunho is also at fault.”

“Me?”

Paeng-yahwa said with a chubby expression.

“Where did you go? I was worried.”

Those words brought an inexplicable pang to Hana Rin.

“I went to eat eels.”

‘Gongja?!’

“What… what?!”

“…What did you do?”

Indeed, it seemed that the common sense of the world considered it unusual for men and women to eat eels. Hana Rin thought to herself.

It’s strange for Eunho, but usually…

Paeng-yahwa grabbed Hana Rin by the collar and growled.

Hana Rin, being a transcendent, could easily brush her off, but all she could do now was avoid eye contact and offer an explanation.

Paeng-yahwa was angry, but Namgoong Yeonha was about to cry.

“…I really only ate eels.”

“You expect me to believe that?”

“I’m not the kind of person who lies about empathizing with others…”

Hmm…

“A liar? And… what else?”

“It’s not… it’s not a lie.”

Both of them looked suspiciously at her as she barely uttered the words.

“Heuk… cough… Ah… Eunho. Is it true? Did you really just eat eels?”

Eunho hugged her as if finding such innocence adorable.

They exchanged a soft kiss that made a smacking sound.

“….!”

“I swear I only ate eels.”

“Am… Ambushing is unfair…”

Contrary to those words, Hana Rin’s expression hardened.

“Um… Gongja?”

“Yes?”

“You clearly said you wouldn’t hang out with anyone…”

“Yes. Not yet.”

“However.. Are you kissing?”

“I kissed her before because she was hurt badly and I thought it might cheer her up. Seems like it worked pretty well.”

After those words, Hana-rin glared at her junior then quickly dropped her gaze while feeling her cheeks flushed.

“….So. What did you do while having dinner?”

“Hmm? What can we do while eating?”

Unlike Hana-rin, who melted in Eun-ho’s arms like a puppy, Pang-ya-hwa stared at them with hungry eyes like a starving wild wolf.

“Well, there are many things to do. Just like what we did earlier.”

“Hey … I didn’t do that. I just said I have a preference for girls like her.”

Everyone looked back and forth between Eun-ho and Hana-rin, even the melting junior got curious about their conversation.

“….I actually want to hear more about this…yes?”

“Uh…Eun-ho. That thing. Can you tell me too?”

Hana-rin quickly said “no!” But when Eun-ho asked why, she was speechless, except for one thing. Even though she felt disgusting about herself, she swallowed the urge to let the information out of her mouth.

Even though she feels disgusting about herself, Hana-rin desperately wants to keep what she has learned from Eun-ho for herself. She wonders if Eun-ho knew her heart’s true intentions when he told her that only a secret between them.

“Um…I’ll keep it a secret.”

“….Eun-ho…why don’t you share it?”

“Eunho-oh …. Why am I not sharing it? Even if Pang-Ya-Hwa is that type of person, why am I not doing anything?”.

Pang-ya-hwa was about to turn herself inside out. At least she doesn’t whine like a dying animal. Why am I doing nothing when Hana-rin, who heard Eun-ho’s story about his preferences, and the junior who snuggles in Eun-ho’s arms wanted me to do something?

But she didn’t want to ask first, looking as pathetic as Namgung Yeon-ha. The only time she can beg is when Eun-ho forces her.

So why is she like this? Hoping that Eun-ho would hold her back, Hana-rin spoke with a natural click.

“….I don’t know now.”

“…..?”

Eunho couldn’t understand, so he only went to the bamboo grove to calm Yeanha down.

But even without Eunho, Hanarin still shot words at her.

She grabbed Hanarin who was trying to follow Eunho.

“…Let’s talk for a moment.”

Hanarin tried to have a conversation, thinking that going to her backyard would be fine…

.

.

.

Peng Yaha… It seemed like she was upset.

“After calming Yeanha, I wanted to hug Yahwa too…”

At that moment, she felt someone’s presence.

“Peng Yaha?”

When she turned around, she couldn’t see Eunho, but there was a woman with black hair.

“I finally get to be alone… Ah…”

“…Who are you?”

It was a voice she had heard before. Clearly… somewhere…

“Of course… I waited well… Sorry… for running away back then. Not anymore.”

“…Who…”

“…Eunho…!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Peng Yaha’s voice came from afar.

Someone hugged tightly. The overwhelming presence of a huge warmth embracing her chest began to feel miraculous.

Eunho spoke quietly.

“Yacha…?”

*JJok.* Eunho felt his whole body stiffening as he received the same actions he had done to Yeanha earlier.

A soft and warm tongue constantly probing his mouth. He felt strange because he didn’t have control over it.

Until now, Eunho had always been in control.

From behind Yacha, who embraced him, Eunho felt countless grasses flying towards them.

But in an instant, they all disappeared.

“…Haah…! Haah… Ha…”

“It might not be your first kiss, but… even though that woman annoys me to the point of wanting to stab her… she still took my first lips… so I’ll let it slide this time.”

– Kwoong. An overwhelming presence loomed here.

Hanarin ran out to the backyard faster than Nangung Yeonha and Paengyahwa could react.

They followed late, and there, they could find Achah, still hugging Eunho’s slender body tight.

The three flew their swords without saying a word, but it seemed to be the safest way to fly it, as it looked like the crazy woman would tear Eunho apart.

Jeongohn. A much greater energy was felt from them, including their master than from those Achahs from the Shinsei Society.

Then, suddenly, Achah kissed Eunho.

“……!!!!”

They felt blood rising upside down, but they couldn’t approach carelessly.

The situation’s dominance was in the hands of that Achah holding Eunho.

“Now… I wish the bugs would go away.”

It was the appearance of the Extermination Achah, Ryu Chun-hee.
