CEBF AU Extra Ch 2 part 1

WooHyun and JaeOn shared drinks on the top floor of the men’s quarters once again. The only difference from the last time was that instead of drinking liquor, they drank tea that was good for sleep.

Daon slowly walked across the courtyard of the men’s quarters and eavesdropped on their conversation. After meeting SoYoung today, JaeOn had become sulky and was complaining to WooHyun.

But that wasn’t the only thing Daon was interested in. For someone like JaeOn to marry SoYoung, he should have had to kowtow to SoYoung’s family elders and it still would not be enough.

There was a small pond in the courtyard. Since there weren’t any carps in the pond, they could skip small pebbles across the surface of the water. It was great fun.

Daon squatted near the edge of the pond and thoughtlessly threw pebbles.

“Oi, you there.”

JaeOn’s displeased voice flew into her ear. Daon blankly looked up at them.

“Children should not eavesdrop on adults. Go away. Children should go away.”

Daon’s face scowled at JaeOn’s provocation.

“What’s the point in listening to you oldies? I wasn’t listening to any of it, so don’t worry.”

When her words pierced him, JaeOn’s face turned purple with rage.

Daon carefully turned her eyes to Na WooHyun, who was next to JaeOn. WooHyun’s eyes had been on her, so their eyes met.

Daon bit down on her lower lip and smiled at him. His eyes also narrowed into a smile.

“Don’t just play by yourself and come here, Daon.”

Daon’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his low voice and straightened out her knees before approaching the upper floor.

“Hey. You’re only feeding into the kid’s bad habits. Do you plan on turning her into a drunkard like last time?”

JaeOn retorted to WooHyun. Daon was only ten paces away from them when she suddenly froze.

“There isn’t any liquor here right now. And since when did Daon act like a drunkard?”

“If you hadn’t only filled half her glass with liquor, she would have grabbed the whole bottle and run up to the roof.”

Had she seemed that out of it? To the point where she’d go up on the roof and drink from the bottle?

Daon could not repress the surge of sadness she felt after hearing JaeOn’s words. Additionally, because she was being rebuked in front of WooHyun, she felt even more humiliated.

She bit down on her trembling lip and turned her back to them. She began to make her way back to her residence.

She didn’t want to enter her bedchamber while feeling so sad, so she perched herself on the wooden corridor outside. She traced the stars that seemed to flow throughout the night sky like rolls of silk. The Altair and the Vega¹ stars stood out to her.

She connected the two stars with her finger. She felt sorry for their tragic separation, but she also couldn’t help but lament her own situation.

“Today is probably the Seventh Moon.”

Daon heard the sound of footsteps in the sand and was shaken out of her thoughts.

“WooHyun-orabeoni?”

“You’re right. Even the stars have their own places and their own match.”

“You were sad, right?”

After his sudden arrival, WooHyun plopped down next to Daon. Daon’s cheeks grew red.

When he asked if she was sad, she felt the sadness melt away like snow. His smile made it feel like flowers were blooming in her heart.

“You orabeoni’s never let me join in and only play by yourselves.”

“Sorry. But even if you listened to what we spoke about, it would be of no use to you.”

“Still…”

A laugh escaped between WooHyun’s teeth. That rumbling laugh was so pleasing to the ear that Daon wanted to ask him to continue laughing just like that.

Seventh Moon. The one day a year that KyunWoo and Jiknyeo could meet.

“Orabeoni, did you make a wish to the North Star today?”

“Will it grant my wish if I make one?”

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

“I don’t know about that, but it’s better than not making a wish at all. It’s not like it costs money to make a wish.”

Daon was very curious about what kind of wish WooHyun would make. He was exceptionally intelligent, and he was incredibly rich. He had good looks, and there was nothing he seemed to lack. Was there anything he needed that she could provide?

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“What did you wish for, Daon?”

Actually, she hadn’t made a wish yet. She planned on doing it before the day was over. His question reminded her of this, so she thought it would be best to do it now.

“Wait a moment.”

She brought her palms together and looked up at the sky as she made her wish. She moved her lips, but she did not say it out loud. A wish must be made alone.

“I’m all done!”

Daon shouted out joyfully as she stretched her arms out. While she was making her wish, WooHyun had been silently watching her. He observed her face as she crooned with joy as if she had completed all the tasks that needed to be done for the day.

“What did you wish for?”

“It’s not good to reveal your wish to others.”

“Then why did you ask me what I wished for?”

“Because I was curious.”

WooHyun burst into laughter as he stretched his arms back onto the wooden floor and leaned back. The glimmering stars looked like they were going to pour down from the sky.

“Do you want to be my lover?”

The sudden proposition drew WooHyun out of his thoughts. He turned his head, and he saw Daon’s flushed, smiling face. Her round cheeks were so cute that he wanted to give them a bite.

“Sleep over tonight as well. I’ll let you stay inside my room instead of JaeOn-orabeoni’s. I don’t talk in my sleep, and I don’t have any nasty sleeping habits like him. You’ll probably be able to get a good night’s sleep.”

A shocked burst of laughter escaped his lips. WooHyun wondered how he should discourage Daon.

“Do you know… what a lover is?”

“Of course I know. It’s when two people love each other.”

“Then do we love each other?”

“……”

Daon squirmed at the question she could not answer. Even though she knew how she felt, she couldn’t peer into his heart.

It was a cruel question. It felt like he was letting her know he did not feel that way and was drawing a line in the sand. Moran and Gahee, Geumhwa and Hyangbok. Just like how he felt about the other maidens.

Daon couldn’t give him an answer and merely hung her head. WooHyun poked her cheek with his finger.

“Daon, do you love me?”

When she lifted her head, she looked at the sleek face of the young master that was illuminated by the moonlight.

Could it be that he was Yeo WooHyun² and not Na WooHyun? Maybe she found his true surname after all this time.

“I… think I do, but…”

As Daon struggled to answer, WooHyun’s expression gradually turned strange.

“Since when?”

“The other night when I saw Orabeoni’s thing in the bathing room.”

“…Hm?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

WooHyun licked his lips and frowned. The reason why he showed her his nude body in the bathing room was to tease her for pretending to be ChoonShim and to curry favor with her.

Her eyes when she looked at him were the same as the ones she had when she looked at her brother JaeOn. She did not know that he had kept his side empty for her, and all she did was immerse herself in those romance novels.

No matter how hard he tried, nothing had worked. But she had taken one glance at his privates and had fallen in love?

WooHyun wanted to investigate what went on in Daon’s mind, but it was more difficult than his scholarly studies.

“ChoonShim lied to me.”

“What did she say?”

“She said that all the guys’ privates were called ‘peppers’ because that’s how big they were.”

“Ha.”

It was too early for WooHyun to scoff now.

“But that’s not the case for you, Orabeoni. Yours isn’t a pepper. It’s a large sausage.”

“What do you mean by ‘sausage’…”

“I don’t want to marry a guy with a thing the size of a pepper. I’d rather live on my own until I die.”

“Daon.”

“Even if you think I’m strange, I can’t help it.”

Daon’s large eyes began to fill with tears. WooHyun didn’t know how to console her and became uncharacteristically flustered.

“I-I… I want to marry you, Orabeoni!”

Daon burst up from her seat and covered her face as she ran into her room. WooHyun waited a long time outside, but Daon showed no sign of coming back out.

He felt as if this strange love confession had struck one of his vital points.

Unlike WooHyun, Daon plopped down into her bed inside her room.

“Aah, I shouldn’t have told him.”

She should have said it was his face, not his privates. Would that have been better?

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

No, that wasn’t right. ChoonShim had told her so. She said that a marriage wasn’t done because of one’s face. She said that even if the groom was handsome, he’d only end up fooling around with the gisaengs and give her a headache.

However, saying that she liked him because he came from a good household made her sound materialistic. And it wasn’t like her own family didn’t have money either.

She thought being honest was the best thing to do, so she answered him honestly. But WooHyun’s reaction made her nervous.

And it also felt like she had hurt his feelings, so it made her chest throb.

“My damned mouth! My damned mouth!”

Daon kicked her blankets. She regretted it terribly. But once the water was spilt, it could not be put back inside. Once the words were said, they could not be swallowed.

No matter how she thought about it, this was just another example of her rash behavior.

She couldn’t fall asleep due to the guilt. But the weight of being unable to properly express herself seemed to lessen.

So what? How was she any different from the other maidens who approached WooHyun for his good looks, money, and intelligence? Was there a reason why she shouldn’t like him because the thing between his legs was big?

‘Daon, do you love me?’

WooHyun’s clear voice pierced into her ears.

“Love? Love…”

It was too early to say that what she felt was love. But she couldn’t deny that she had begun to see him in a new light since that fateful night.

Would it have been better if they had been strangers? Because they had basically spent their days under one roof ever since they were young, there hadn’t been a chance to call this feeling ‘love’.

If the groom standing in front of her at her wedding ceremony was…

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t imagine him to be Na WooHyun.

“Daon, are you sleeping?”

Had she imagined it? A visitor had come this late at night when no lantern was lit.

Daon quickly got up and lit her lamp before slightly opening her door. It was none other than the face of Na WooHyun as he stood in front of her door.

Normally a well-dressed young master without a crease in sight, he was currently only wearing his underclothes with his overcoat draped over his shoulders.

“Wh-Why are you here at this time…”

“Yu JaeOn’s snoring was so bad that I couldn’t get any sleep.”

A corner of his lips went up.

“Will you put me to sleep?”

In order to make up for her misdeeds, Daon’s body reacted faster than her head.

She grabbed some bedding from her dresser and unfolded it next to hers. She laughed as she gestured to WooHyun.

“Hurry up and come inside. Good job coming here. My room is in a good location, so you should be able to sleep well here.”

“Is that so?”

WooHyun dragged out his reply as he slowly walked through the doorway and entered inside. As soon as he came inside, Daon pushed the door closed.

Was this some kind of disease? Her heart thumped so loudly that it seemed to ring inside the room. Daon decided to ask ChoonShim about it tomorrow. She walked over to her bed.

“Sleep comfortably, Orabeoni. Sleep comfortably.”

WooHyun took off his overcoat, and she could see some of his skin peek out from under his undershirt. Because her eyes kept being drawn down, Daon forced them to look around her room instead.

“Shall I… blow out the lights?”

“I’ll do it.”

As she walked over to blow out the lamp, WooHyun stopped her with an arm. His arm bumped against the area between her chest and stomach.

Suddenly, Daon’s breath left her lungs, and she gasped.

Now that she thought about it, she was also only in her underclothes. She could feel his warmth through her thin hemp dress, and her entire body flushed.

When WooHyun took the candle snuffer from her hand, his soft skin brushed against hers. The muscles in her lower abdomen twinged.

When he snuffed out the lamp, the entire room was plunged into darkness.

Daon coughed awkwardly and laid down on her own bedding. This all felt so unfamiliar, and she struggled to find something to say.

“They say that KyunWoo and Jiknyeo meet on the Seventh Moon… Could it be that I am Jiknyeo and Orabeoni is KyunWoo?”

WooHyun merely laughed and did not say anything in return.

She couldn’t get herself to look next to her. She could only hear the sound of rustling fabric, and it caused her to grow tense.

WooHyun didn’t cover himself with a blanket and spoke up in a low voice.

“KyunWoo and Jiknyeo could only see each other once a year.”

“Then I guess that can’t be us. We see each other almost every day.”

Was it because she had seen him every day? Was that why WooHyun could only see her as his childhood friend’s little sister?

Made sense. Her one and only brother wouldn’t have helped either. But if it hadn’t been for him, she might have become like Moran or Gahee and tried to use tricks to get his attention.

Daon wanted this night to last a long time. Her drowsiness went out the window. She stared up at the ceiling and quickly glanced to her side.

“Yes, Daon?”

His voice never failed to light her heart on fire. Just like in the bathing room, his voice made her body turn into liquid and grow feverish. She couldn’t stay underneath her blanket any longer.
