CHAPTER 19 - WANG HONGYU'S TURMOIL
Sango and Hongyu were covered in sweat as they had a serious fight.
While walking down the dimly lit hallway, he spoke to her.
"Because of you, I have to take another bath."
"Sorry"
"If you don't mind, can you help me wash my back?"
Hongyu meant it as a light joke, but Sango stopped. Her face turned red and she took a few steps back.
Rather than rejection, it looked like she felt ashamed.
“Why did you react like that?”
Hongyu didn't understand, but she felt embarrassed even though he said it lightly.
Sango was extremely upset. She held her head and looked down as she began to mumble in a foreign language.
“My mother said that when my father was tired, he would wash his back as a gesture of relief, and that there was a tradition like that among the aristocrats in our country. But, what does this have to do with it? It's a little strange for men and women who are not married to do that...'
She muttered quickly, but since it was in a foreign language, Hongyu couldn't understand it.
"Hey, is that your country's language?"
"Ah! Yes, it was, I'm sorry."
His eyes met with Sango's as she looked up. Her blue eyes, which blinked frequently, looked moist.
What Hongyu said earlier was a joke.
As was about to say that, Sango talked first.
“Ah, uh, I don’t usually do things like this, but if I have to do this...”
Apparently, Sango wanted to wash her back. Her cheeks turned red and she said shyly, her eyes flashed and even Hongyu’s face became hot.
That's when Hongyu realized that something was strange. ‘Why should he feel ashamed when talking with a man?’
He averted his gaze and caught sight of Sango's white neck.
Her skin was illuminated by the light from the hallway fire. She was sweaty and somehow glossy.
His heart beat loudly in his chest, and at the same time he became confused.
‘If Sango is a man. Why does he feel this way?’
“Hongyu?”
His heart skipped a beat once more when his name was suddenly called.
"N-nothing. I was kidding when I told you to wash my back!"
Without looking at Sango's reaction, he strode towards the square but Sango didn't follow.
While he was taking his bath, he was worried that Sango might actually come to wash his back. He had a serious personality, so he felt like he would do whatever he said even if it was a joke.
However, Sango did not come.
He returned to his room feeling both relieved and uneasy.
The raccoon dog greeted him.
"Kuun"
The raccoon was alone in the room.
"Hey, where is your master?"
“Kuun”
The raccoon tilted its head.
Hongyu had told Sango not to talk to the raccoon dog, but lately, he had found himself talking to the raccoon dog. However, he didn't realize it because he himself was unconscious.

“Where on earth?”
"Kuun"
He looked into the bedroom and office with the raccoon, but they were all empty. He thought Sango might have gone to practice for the Miyabi-kai selection meeting, but her erhu was propped up on the chair.
Even though he had nothing to do, he went to Konkon's place.
As he was wandering around the room feeling uneasy, he heard the door open with a bang.
Sango was back.
"Ah, so you're awake."
"You--"
Sango appeared strangely. A large piece of cloth, similar to a futon mattress, was wrapped around her entire body.
“Why did you dress like that, when you could have just worn a cotton jacket to keep you from getting cold?”
Hiroshi asked.
“Ah, no, I guess you could say it’s a little embarrassing.”
"Are you embarrassed?"
When he asked her specifically, her cheeks, which had already turned red from the hot water, became even more flushed.
She looked like a naive girl.
Hongyu shook his head, wondering if something was wrong with his eyes.
“Hongyu?”
He was shocked when he heard someone call out to him.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
Sango came to him holding out the cloth in front of her chest.
She reached out to touch Hongyu's forehead, but he quickly pulled himself away.
The scent of soap was wafting from her,
“Why did you get so upset?”
"That--"
"N-nothing. Don't worry about me. Go to sleep!"
Hongyu turned on his heel and headed straight for the bed. He turned off the light in his bedroom and lay down on the futon.
He thought about closing his eyelids and going to sleep, but the sleepiness didn't come.
A few minutes later, Sango and the raccoon arrived in the bedroom.
They made noise as they were crawling into the futon.
It's strange today.
Hongyu furrowed his eyebrows.
For some reason, he was confused by Sango.
Even though he was a man.
He had never felt this way about anyone before.
When he was a military attaché, he was busy with work and he turned down arranged marriage meetings. He casually thought that when he turned thirty, his hands would be free. Then, he would marry.
The Wang family already had an heir, his brother's son. Therefore, no one complained about Hongyu's marriage.
He worked every day from morning till night and had no time to think about women.
Hongyu's co-workers were worried about him.
He had been thinking about getting married when the time was right, but one day, because he was too unfeminine, he was pushed into something unnecessary.
“Do you have any hobbies over there?”
At that time, Hongyu seriously asked, “What do you mean?''
The person on the other end was stunned, then said, “Maybe it was just my imagination.''
He now realized what his colleague was trying to say.
Her hobby was that his love interest was a man.
"Wow!!"
Goosebumps broke out all over his body, and Hongyu couldn't help but sit up and scream.

He shook his head and said that he had no such hobby.
At the same time as his voice rose, Sango and Tanuki, who were sleeping next to me, started to react.
“Wow, I was surprised.”
“Kuuu?”
Sango and Tanuki were about to fall asleep, but Hongyu's screams woke them up.
“Hiro, what’s wrong?”
Sango got up and asked if he's okay.
Hongyu looked back at Sango.
The moonlight was bright tonight. It came in through the bedroom window.
Sango's white skin was beautifully illuminated in the darkness.
‘Why is the skin of foreigners so beautiful?’
He couldn't take his eyes off her but he quickly came back to his senses.
It felt strange. It was impossible for a man to look at a man's skin and feel sexually attracted.
He shook his head again.
“Um, would you like some water?”
It was true that his throat was parched. However, he was more concerned about something than that.
‘Do I really like men?’
"Hiro"
Sango was shaking Hongyu's arm, as if he was worried.
At that moment, he grabbed her wrist, pulled her towards him, and pushed her down onto the mattress.
"Hey!"
Sango screamed in a high-pitched voice like a woman's.
As he was about to twist, he held her shoulder and brought his face closer to her.
He thought it would be fine as long as he didn't feel inferior.
"No."
Hongyu muttered in despair.
