Part 26

An Angry Yoonhee

[Between the last scene and this one: The government's still out on a search for Hong Byuk Seo (That's what they call Jaeshin's batman character) and they've come around to deduce that he must have some relation to SungKyunKwan, so people are sent in to check books and writings in the students' rooms to see if anyone has anything suspicious, like the red notes that Hong Byuk Seo always leaves. The students wait outside until the search is over, and Yoonhee, Sunjoon, Jaeshin, and Yongha all come back into the three's room.]

The books that Yongha has left in their room is in a mess, and to lighten the mood, Yongha grabs one of them and hands them to Sunjoon.

"Garang, why don't you take a look at this? It's very precious to me, so I don't let anyone take a look at it, but I'll take you for a special case."

Sunjoon opens the book without thinking, and then closes it suddenly. It's a book of drawings of sexual relations and teachings. Jaeshin opens another book in the series as well and opens it--he then smirks, looking at Yongha. But only momentarily: he goes back to explore the book. Sunjoon does so, as well. Sunjoon turns each page slowly, as though he's learning from the book. Yongha puts his hand on one of the pages Sunjoon has turned to.

"Wait! This one."

The picture is of a man on top of a woman who is laying down on her stomach.

"This is the so called Tiger-walk position. All the women say that they're embarrassed to do this one, but all women enjoy it. They'll go crazy for it. Even if they pretend that they don't, women actually like it more than the men do."

Yoonhee, who's initially curious as to what they are all reading so intently, stops reaching for the books when she hears Yongha. This is definitely a perverted book. She's speechless at Sunjoon, who is ever so calm as he says, "Ah, is that true?"

"It's because it'll go in real deep even if the man's not very big. And the spot it reaches is usually unreachable normally!"

"I suppose that makes sense."

Yongha sighs, "You have to be careful doing it to your wife, though. I tried to get my wife to do it, and you wouldn't believe the hard time she gave me for it. Kept going on about how it wasn't proper! After that I was so disheartened I wasn't the same."

"I could see that happening."

Sunjoon flips to another page, and asks,

"I didn't know that there was so much variety. They are all possible?"

Yongha is excited that Sunjoon is so interested, and grabs Jaeshin and says, "Hey, Goel-roh! Let's show Garang if it's possible or not. Get in position."

Yongha falls down with a kick in the head from Jaeshin.

"Why would I do that with you?!"

"Because Garang is curious! It's not like I can show him using Daemul--he's sick!"

Even if she was healthy, she wouldn't do it. Yoonhee is so in shock that she retreats to the other corner of the room and pretends she is paying attention to something else. In this setting, she wouldn't be able to look at Sunjoon and not be found out.

Yongha licks his lips as he says, "I guess you'll just have to try and find out for yourself. Since you feel different things in different positions, it's good to change it up when you're having sex. If you have enough energy, that is! Sex isn't there just to make babies, you know. It's not like you to have many women, Garang, so you'll need it more than me. There's more--you can read them when you have time."

"Give them here."

Yoonhee is again speechless at Sunjoon, whose speech is still calm and reserved. Sunjoon, after all, is a man. Jaeshin throws a book at Yoonhee and jokes, "Hey, you should look at it, too. Being big isn't everything."

"A-Ah, that's alright. I'm not feeling too well..."

Even though she is actually sick, she pretends she is even more so to avoid this situation. She tries to get into her blanket when a very perverted picture appears right in front of her eyes. It's Yongha, holding the book in front of her head. She tears her eyes away, but she's already seen everything.

"I-I'm really sick. And I'm getting tired, too..."

"I'm just curious, Daemul. How big is it anyway? Is yours as big as the one in this picture?"

Yoonhee suddenly remembers Sunjoon's, from earlier that day. Even though she only saw it momentarily, she's startled to find that she can remember it so well.

"U-Uh... It may have been...Ah, no, it's.. you can't compare..."

Yoonhee thinks to herself that it's now way too late to even seem like a proper, discreet woman to Sunjoon. She feels dizzy. Her lower body is still sore, and her fever heightens. And it seems like if these boys don't get out of the room soon, she'll faint. Jaeshin looks at Yoonhee, who's working up a cold sweat, and tries to hold back his laughter, hiding behind his own book.

Yongha puts his hand on Sunjoon's shoulder and laughs as he says, "Honestly? I think the real Daemul in this room may very well be you, Garang."

Yoonhee silently screams into her blanket.

'Daemul?? Guhmul (Dae = big, Guh = Giant), maybe!

"Even so, I'm sure mine won't measure up to Daemul's," Sunjoon responds jokingly.

Yoonhee hides in her blanket and tries not to hear, but the conversation doesn't escape her.

It's especially hard to listen to Yongha.

"Looking at this picture, it makes me think of a poem.

Their waists meet together,

I raise the two legs.

I'll do the moving and shaking,

and you take care of the deep and shallow."

The poem keeps making Yoonhee think of what happened earlier that day. She can't bear it any longer.

"Yeorim Sahyung! Please stop. Isn't it inappropriate for scholars to talk about such perverted things?"

"What? Daemul, you're the perverted one. This poem is simply about cutting paper with scissors! (LOL.) Why would you imagine such things?" Yongha starts laughing.

Even though Yongha can't be doing it on purpose, it seems like he is making fun of her for what happened that day. He keeps going.

"But position isn't everything, either. One shouldn't put things in and out the same way forever! Sometimes with strength, and some times quick and fast. There's even mashing, rubbing... (O_O)"

Too Yoonhee, it seems like the room is on fire. She tries her hardest not to listen to them by reading and memorizing another book.

After that, Yoonhee is angry for a few days. Even though she should have been sick only a couple days, she was unwell for five, because of how they were playing around in her room.

Yoonhee is especially cold to Sunjoon, even when they're alone, like now, in the library. Sunjoon, who's been looking for a chance to get near her all this time, goes near Yoonhee, who's looking for a book. He tries to grab her wrist, but she moves her hands away to another bookcase. Sunjoon looks around to see if anyone is there, and says carefully, "don't be angry."

Even though he tries to appeal to her with a regretful voice, she doesn't change her expression. He gets real close to her and says softly,

"I don't know why you're angry."

"That's even worse."

"Ah, but..."

"Just because of that book... How are all men like that? Hyungnim is no different."

"I told you I don't want to be called that when we're alone--"

"Do you think I would call you Ah-rang in this situation?"

"Ah--okay. I'm sorry. I was wrong."

"I can't accept an apology from someone who didn't even know that they were wrong."

"I can't see why looking at that book is such a big deal..."

"It's not because you were looking at the book--how could you be like that when I was obviously in pain? I thought that when the other two were going on and on, you would stop them and let them leave me in peace. Why was I in pain in the first place? If I think about it, you, Garang-hyungnim, are as much a philandering pervert as Yeorim Sahyung."

Sunjoon can't say anything. He had forgotten about the state of her body, because of those books.

"Ah--but--he's always just joking like that, that's nothing new, and that day I thought that if I did anything too obvious that they might find out and I was trying to act like nothing happened on purpose..and..and why I did that was..."

Sunjoon stammers as he puts some books back onto the bookcase and dusts off his hands. He's like a kid, getting chastised by his parents. Yoonhee finds this amusing, because it's a new side to Sunjoon. She tries her hardest to hold back her smile. But Sunjoon sees her expression, and stealthily steals a quick kiss from her, and runs away from the library. Yoonhee is dumbfounded, but amused and happy. She hides her lips with a book and starts giggling. She follows his path back to their room in Dongjae.

(Note: According to the translator, this scene was by far the hardest to translate. It was way, way too hard trying to put all the innuendos in the right euphemisms. Also she was laughing too much.)
