Chapter 162.2

(EP-162.2) Night #3

162 – Day and Night #3

Narmi clenched my arm with a grip so strong that tears were about to flow down my eyes.

“Eueueu-. Is, is it done? Did it go in all the way...?”

Narmi’s moist red eyes looked at me. I nodded my head in response, confirming that the needle had indeed penetrated all the way through.

“It’s done.”

I inserted the needle of the sterilized earring into the hole and locked it.

“You need to regularly wipe it with a cotton swab every few days. Remember, never take it off. And if you develop any inflammation, go to the clinic.”

Kalira was a master of her craft after all.

With that said, I was ready to proceed to her left ear.

“Now, let’s do the other side.”

“Eu, eung.”

With the first experience under her belt, Narmi was calmer than before. So, I was able to pierce her second earlobe relatively smoothly.

Narmi felt her new earrings and said.

“After trying it once, even though it still hurts, it felt like I could handle the second time.”

“It’s probably because you now have a sense of the pain.”

“I don’t know why, but it feels like I’ve become an adult. An adult woman. Huhuhu-.”

Narmi now had a relaxed attitude as if her dramatic episode from before never happened. Hanging on her ears, the crescent moon earrings shone like the moonlight.

As the midnight hour approached, Ark’s underground market became even more lively, with more crowds bustling about. It felt as though the night was just beginning.

Narmi and I found a spot at an illegal tent shop nearby and looked through the menu.

「Cold Flame – 5,000 Coins」

「Goddess’ Kiss – 5,000 Coins」

Was Narmi the type to regret her actions?

It reminded me of Mirna when we had our first intimate encounter in the trapped space. The act itself was driven by the atmosphere, emotions, and desperation of the moment.

It seemed that both sisters were the type to act first and think later.

Thinking about it, it was surprising to see such an anxious reaction over something as simple as wearing earrings.

How would Narmi react if she discovered that she’d lost her purity due to her older sister’s actions without her knowing?

I became extremely curious, yet at the same time, I shuddered.

When she found out, Narmi’s anger and resentment towards Mirna might not be limited to just ear-piercing.

I began to understand why Mirna might want to keep whatever secrets she had from Narmi.

“Narmi-nim.”

“What?”

“I’m just asking this out of curiosity. So I apologize in advance if I step out of my bounds.”

“You’re curious about something?”

Seuk-.

Narmi opened her eyes in wonder as I prefaced what I was about to say.

Then, her expression relaxed as she shrugged.

“Well, it’s fine if it’s you, Theo. What question are you going to ask?”

“What if Narmi-nim or Mirna-nim get married to someone...”

“Marriage?”

“Yes, marriage. If one of you were to get married, that-.”

How should I explain this? I suddenly realized that I was asking a rather impolite question.

However, since I had already brought up the topic, and considering that the question I was about to ask was quite important, I gathered up the courage and continued.

“If either of you were to get married, being in one body, you would be sharing your lives together. I’m curious about how the relationship between you, the husband-to-be and your sister goes.”

“Eum-. So Theo, you’re curious about what our marriage situation would be like?”
