Ungh..!
ugh...
Mmph...
Mmph, ungh
Ngh!
Haaa!!
MASTER, MAY I PUT IT IN?
PUT...
PLEASE PUT IT IN...
MY LORD.
WHAT IS THIS...
HAH
?!
YOUR SLEEPING HABITS ARE AS BAD AS EVER.
WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE, MASTER?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT BRINGS ME
YOU TOLD ME TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE YESTERDAY, DIDN'T YOU?
I PACKED MY LUGGAGE AND CAME BACK EARLY THIS MORNING.
ANYWAY, NAMGIL.
WHEN A VISITOR ARRIVES...
YOU SHOULD GET UP QUİCKLY!
HEH,
WHAT IS UNDER MY BLANKET...
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?
?! Ugh!
COULD IT BE A MAN'S PRIVATE...
H-HAIRPIN!!
I AM LOOKING FOR A HAIRPIN!
YOU SUDDENLY STARTED STRIPPING LAST NIGHT, SO I FORGOT ABOUT IT!
TH-THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS DEBAUCHERY AS WELL,
SO REFRAIN FROM IT IN THE FUTURE!
IF ANYONE HEARD YOU,
WOULD THEY THINK I TOOK YOU INTO MY BED?
Here it is.
YOU PANICKED AND RAN OFF LIKE YOU WERE FLEEING,
I NEVER EVEN GOT TO TOUCH A SINGLE HAIR OF YOURS.
HAVE YOU ALREADY FORGOTTEN THE PROMISE YOU MADE WITH ME?
IF YOU BREAK YOUR PROMISE WITH ME THROUGH LOOSE WORDS AND DEEDS,
I WILL QUIETLY LEAVE THIS PLACE.
SINCE YOU SEEM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT ANYWAY,
I WILL GUIDE YOU TO A SEPARATE ROOM TO STAY IN.
WE'RE STAYING... SEPARATELY?
I THOUGHT YOU'D CLING TO ME AND ASK TO STAY TOGETHER?
YOU ARE BOLD.
DID YOU INTEND TO STAY IN THE SAME ROOM AS ME?
WHAT IF MASTER TRIES TO SEDUCE ME,
AND WE END UP PLEDGING OUR LIVES TO EACH OTHER?
DO NOT WORRY.
IF I AM TO PLEDGE MY LIFE TO SOMEONE,
WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO HAVE SOMEONE LIKE AN OLDER BROTHER?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY AREN'T YOU GUIDING ME ALREADY?
DO YOU...
STILL SEE ME AS A CHILD
EVEN WHEN I AM THE LORD OF THIS ISLAND?
THERE YOU GO AGAIN.
I DO NOT THINK OF YOU THAT SIMPLY.
I RAISED YOU FOR SIX YEARS.
YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILY TO ME.
I AM GLAD YOU RETURNED SAFELY.
GUIDE THE WAY.
I HAVE WORK OF MY OWN TO DO.
EVEN IF I RAISED HIM,
IS IT REALLY OKAY FOR ME TO BE THIS RELAXED BESIDE THE LORD OF AN ISLAND...
I SAID I WOULD STAY BECAUSE I FELT GUILTY ABOUT THE PAST,
BUT AFTER EXPERIENCING THAT YESTERDAY,
FRANKLY, IT IS OVERWHELMING.
MASTER!
CAN I REALLY HANDLE THIS PERSON?
MASTER!
MASTER!!
STILL, HE HAS GROWN A LOT OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
YOU TRULY LOOK QUITE DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE.
HIS HAIR, HIS VOICE,
HIS HANDS,
AND HIS PHYSIQUE.
HE IS CERTAINLY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MEN,
SO IN SEORABOL, WOMEN MUST BE LINING UP TO WIN YOUR FAVOR.
NO DOUBT THERE WERE WOMEN YOU CHERISHED AMONG THEM,
SINCE A MAN AND A WOMAN OF PRIME AGE YEARN FOR EACH OTHER...
HAVE YOU EVER...
HELD A WOMAN IN YOUR ARMS AT LEAST ONCE?
YOU'VE BEEN STARING AT ME
AND THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING
AS IF YOU WANT TO DEVOUR ME WHOLE SINCE A MOMENT AGO?
!!!
AYYYYY!!!!!
MASTER!!
A Book Drawn at Night Chapter 5 follows Namgil and his master through an awkward morning reunion after an intimate dream. The master searches under Namgil's blanket for a lost hairpin. He scolds Namgil for stripping the night before while insisting on propriety, their promise, and separate rooms. Namgil teases him about clinging and seduction, then grows serious about being seen as a child despite being lord of the island. The master calls him family after raising him for six years, and the chapter ends with lingering stares and reflection on how much he has grown.
