Episode 47
Naturally, after Brody’s confession, the atmosphere at the drinking table became completely disastrous.
After finishing his entire story, Brody went outside saying he needed some fresh air, and soon after, Lucas also rushed out following Brody.
And Sam.
“It’s because of me. It’s all because of meeeee”
He was pouring down alcohol one after another while squeezing out tears and snot.
“I… I had no idea such a thing happened to Brody, and I was so clueless, huuuueeeeng-.”
“Right. I know you’re stupid and clueless, so stop whining.”
“…Usually at times like this, don’t people say ‘No. It’s not your fault’?”
“That’s because you’re saying that same thing for the 7th time now.”
So stop throwing a drunken tantrum and go inside to sleep, you alcoholic prince!
Nana hadn’t been this blunt with Sam at first either. After hearing Brody’s entire story, she tried to comfort Sam who was crying loudly and patted him on the side.
But there’s a limit to how much you can accommodate, and Nana didn’t want to put up with him throwing tantrums while gulping down strong liquor like water.
“Because of me… Madam Paisley… uuuueeeeng-.”
When Sam was about to gulp down another glass full of alcohol while being overcome with emotion again, Nana jumped up and snatched Sam’s drink like she was stealing it, then poured the whole thing into her own mouth.
“Kyaaaaa! My throat!”
“Kyaaaaak! My drink!”
One person screamed in regret after gulping down alcohol in anger, and the other screamed because his drink was stolen. It was truly a complete mess.
“What are you doing to my drink? Are you saying someone like me doesn’t even deserve to drink?!”
“Stop talking nonsense and quit making a scene, you drunkard!”
Sam cowered momentarily at Nana’s scolding. After a moment, Nana sighed deeply and tried to calm him down with a slightly more composed tone.
“This isn’t something that will be solved by pouring alcohol down your throat like this. How do you think Uncle Brody would feel seeing you like this? Wouldn’t he blame himself thinking ‘I said something unnecessary’? Do you really want Uncle Brody to think that way?”
“That’s… not it. But… but…”
Don’t say ‘but’. I have a feeling whatever comes next will be very frustrating.
“If I don’t drink, it’s too hard to bearrrr. When I think about Madam Paisley, about how Madam ended up like that… huuuueeeeng.”
Nana squeezed her eyes shut at Sam’s wailing that started again. Ah, I don’t know anymore either. If he cries like that, he’ll stop on his own eventually.
But perhaps it was because she had just gulped down strong liquor all at once. Her whole body felt heavy like waterlogged cotton and her eyes kept closing, making it hard to see ahead.
“Huueng… Hey, Nana?”
Sam seemed to stop crying and approach her direction.
“Nana? Are you okay?”
Don’t worry about others, worry about yourself.
She wanted to say that out loud, but her eyelids kept growing heavy and drooping.
Just before she lost strength in her body and was about to collapse sideways, someone carefully caught her body.
“You drank too much. Get some sleep.”
She couldn’t hear clearly what the person holding her was saying, but the feeling of gentle patting on her back felt good.
Ah, this is comfortable.
When Nana rubbed her cheek as if burrowing into the embrace, the other person’s hand paused momentarily but then patted her back again.
“Where are you trying to take Nana?”
“I’m trying to take an employer who became unconscious thanks to someone to a safe and comfortable place, and.”
The low voice growled quietly like a warning.
“I told you not to carelessly call Adrien’s nickname, didn’t I?”
It sounds like they’re saying something but I can’t hear it properly.
Nana wanted to hear what the person holding her was saying, but her consciousness was gradually being sucked into deep slumber.
Around the time Nana was falling asleep, Ishanka, who had left the gathering, silently looked down at the apricot-colored head leaning against his chest.
Even if it’s a place where several people are gathered, still, to keep gulping down alcohol when you can’t drink well enough to frown at even one sip.
Of course, Nana’s alcohol tolerance was average, but by Ishanka’s standards, she couldn’t drink.
Moreover, trying to fall asleep just anywhere, what would she do if something happened later, really…
Ishanka sighed quietly, feeling somehow displeased and frustrated.
Thanks to his long legs and large stride, he could quickly reach Nana’s room on the 2nd floor. It wasn’t proper etiquette to enter a lady’s room without permission, but in this case, it couldn’t be helped.
After carefully laying her down on the bed, he sat on the edge and propped his chin with one hand while casting his gaze downward.
Moonlight coming through the window gap illuminated Nana’s face as she slept soundly.
Without realizing it, he swept away the hair messily covering her face. Perhaps it tickled, as Nana frowned her delicate brow and fluttered her eyebrows.
‘No matter how I think about it, you’re too defenseless.’
Just like when she stayed at the temporary shelter before, and now too. Does she properly understand how dangerous it is to be in such a relaxed state in the same space as a man?
His mind felt unnecessarily complicated.
She’ll probably suffer from a hangover tomorrow, right? It would be good to prepare some honey tea in advance. Thinking that, he got up from his seat. No, he tried to get up.
If only Nana hadn’t grabbed the hem of his clothes.
“Isha.”
Ishanka turned his head to look at Nana.
Nana was looking up at him with hazy eyes. Even in the darkness, only he was reflected in her light blue eyes.
That alone filled Ishanka with a strange sense of satisfaction.
A frighteningly quiet silence flowed between them. But the silence was quickly shattered by Nana.
“Why are you so handsome?”
“…Excuse me?”
“And why are you so kind? Your first impression was like a crazy person with anger issues, no, it wasn’t great, but the more I see you, the more genuine you are, and you’re so kind and pretty that I like you to death.”
Ishanka was properly hit by Nana’s bombshell confession. At this moment, only one phrase from Nana’s words was echoing in his head.
I like you to death.
…You like me?
“Really?”
He didn’t have the composure to think properly. He wanted to ask once more and get proper confirmation.
“Mmm…? What?”
“That you like me.”
“Yeah. Right… I also like Uncle Brody and Wina…”
Whether it was because of the alcohol or because she had suddenly woken up, what came out of her mouth was closer to babbling than clear sentences.
But thanks to that, Ishanka was able to regain his composure.
What am I doing right now, holding onto a drunk person?
A self-deprecating smile crossed his lips.
“…You must be quite drunk. Sleep a bit more. You’ll be thirsty when you wake up tomorrow, so I’ll bring some water.”
He tried to make an appropriate excuse and leave to get away from the situation, but Nana pulling his clothes and toppling him over was faster.
“What the…!”
He was momentarily startled by Nana’s sudden action, but when she climbed on top of Ishanka and looked down at him, everything instantly calmed down.
Nana’s face was slightly flushed, perhaps from the alcohol, and her hazy, relaxed gaze was strangely alluring.
At this first-time sight of Nana, Ishanka’s face grew hot and his heart began to race. He should have quickly pushed her away and left. That would have been right for both of them. But strangely, he didn’t want to resist.
While Ishanka’s heart was being swept up in a whirlwind of complex emotions, Nana’s body began to get closer and closer to him.

The next morning.
Nana groaned while clutching her head that felt like it would split.
‘Ugh, my head hurts so much I could die. I’m never drinking again…’
She muttered an oath she couldn’t keep to herself and frowned at the sunlight coming through the window.
Ugh, the sunlight is attacking me. To avoid the sunlight, Nana stealthily hid her body behind the back of the person lying next to her.
Now that she had blocked the sunlight, it must still be early morning. She began to feel sleepy again. Half-asleep, when she stroked the bare skin of the person next to her, she felt firmly positioned back muscles.
‘Wow… They must exercise hard regularly. It’s not easy to build muscles like this… Wait a minute?!’
Why is there a person in my room?
She instantly came to her senses. The back she touched was broad with small and large muscles harmoniously packed tight, even looking beautiful.
‘I thought muscles were crude and not pretty, but seeing them this close up… No, that’s not the point!’
Nana hurriedly got up from her position. She was so shocked that she couldn’t even feel her hangover.
There was only one person on the Farm with muscles like these. That person’s hair was black, and the hair of the person lying in front of him was also black.
‘If my guess is correct, then surely… Hahaha, no way. That can’t be…’
“Mmm…”
The man who had been lying with his back turned shifted his body, allowing him to clearly confirm his face.
The impossible had happened.
“Why are you here?!”
