Doctor goes back to Joseon - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 13

The mayor complained that he had an erection problem.

Kanghyok didn’t expect someone in a high position like the mayor would tell the inside story. Perplexed a bit by his baring his heart, Kanghyok stared at his face.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

Only then did Kanghyok realize that he was being rude, and apologized, “I’m sorry, sir.”

“No, no. That’s okay. How silly I am to mention it at my age!”

With a remorseful look, the mayor tried to get out of the room. Obviously, he felt ashamed to have said that, given his social status. When he was about to open the door, Kanghyok snatched his forearm. How desperately he wanted to restore his ability to get erect when he ran here without a servant!

‘If I treat a man like the mayor, I may enjoy lots of conveniences rendered by him.’

Of course, his status as the son of Sungmun already gave Kanghyok many social privileges. But the more such privileges, the better for him. Besides, the status of the Suwon mayor was like a king in Suwon.

“Don’t think that way. I think I can treat you.”

“Oh, really?” The mayor turned back as if he met his savior.

And then he began to lament his hard fate, “As you know, my wife is in her hometown Haenam now.”

Though Kanghyok heard of it first, he skillfully responded, “Oh, I have heard about it.”

“From now on, it’s a secret between you and me.”

“Don’t worry, sir.”

“Okay. Some time ago I brought in a concubine. But I still feel lonely every night as I have this erection problem.”

Kanghyok took for granted that powerful noblemen like the mayor kept concubines in old Korea, so he didn’t realize why the mayor tried to keep secret the fact that he brought in a concubine.

Anyway, the mayor began to confide very cautiously, “But the problem is I recently realized I had an erection problem when I tried to have sex in a long time.”

“Oh, I see. You must have been worried a lot.”

“That’s why I have come to see you.”

The mayor must have been agonized a lot about whether to come here or not because of Kanghyok’s bad reputation. He would not have been here without the widespread rumor in town about his miraculous medical skills.

In particular, Yop Huh, who he saw once in a blue moon, praised Kanghyok nonstop. The mayor was stunned by how much he praised Kanghyok for treating the big sore on his back completely.

“Welcome to my place, sir.”

“Thanks. What should I do now? I can find most medicinal herbs for you.”

“You don’t have to. Let me give you some medicine. Just take it.” Kanghyok searched into the bag and took out Viagra pills for the first time. It was as many as 180 pills. Even though they can’t be refilled in the bag, they were enough for anyone to take one for six months every day.

Kanghyok picked one of them and gave it to the mayor. “Please take this 30 minutes before you have sex.”

“Is one pill enough?”

The mayor looked at Kanghyok as if he couldn’t believe it.

In fact, he sought lots of doctors to cure his erectile dysfunction. Some doctors applied acupuncture and offered some other prescriptions. Some recommended that he should eat eel and raw, small octopuses; others even told him to drink a young man’s sperm.

But none of such suggestions took effect.

Now, Kanghyok gave him just one pill, which the mayor looked at with some skepticism.

But Kanghyok was adamant. “Yes, one pill will do.”

“Hmm… Got it. Can I try it even tonight?”

“Yes, you can. But don’t have it with alcohol. You’ll be in big trouble if you do so.” This was because originally, Viagra was developed as pills to improve blood pressure. When one took it, it didn’t make the blood pressure go down while erecting one’s penis. But there was a possibility that the blood pressure could go down drastically when one took it with alcohol. And so, alcohol should be avoided when one takes Viagra.

“Alcohol… Got it.”

“Sounds good. I wish you good luck!”

“Thanks. If this takes effect, let me repay you dearly.”

“Sure, thanks.”

As if he seemed to feel a bit embarrassed, the mayor quickly left with the pill. Given his social status, it was really an exceptional thing that he came a long way to see Kanghyok without having any servant accompany him.

Kanghyok bid him a brief goodbye. The mayor got on a horse he pulled up right before the wall and raced to his house. As the curfew bell was about to ring soon, there were not a lot of people on the road. Fortunately, the mayor rode a horse back home.

“Your lord, welcome home,” greeted his servants when he got home.

As he was impatient to see his concubine, he hopped off the horse.

“Go and get me a cup of water.”

“Won’t you come into the room?”

“Just give me water now.”

“Yes, sir.”

One of the servants quickly brought him a cup of water, which he drank with the pill Kanghyok gave him.

“Oh, you might get an upset stomach.”

“I’m alright. Don’t go close to my room.”

Then the mayor ran into the room where his concubine was staying.

The servants were already aware that his master was deeply in love with his mistress these days, so they didn’t regard his actions as strange.

Little did they think the mayor and his mistress had any problems in their sex life.

“You’re late tonight, sir,” said the concubine. Ms. Bang, his concubine, welcomed him into the room.

As she was formerly a kisaeng, Bang was full of charms, which the mayor liked very much. He even became more affectionate to her than his wife.

Though he was always excited about making love to her, he had a problem. It’s been a long time since he brought her in as a concubine, but he could never enjoy sex with her because of his erectile problem.

Hiding his troubled heart, he said with a calm look, “I’m late today.”

“Give me your clothes, sir.” Bang took off his clothes gently.

Though she created an erotic atmosphere, he could not yet feel any sign of erection. He began to feel nervous now.

‘Why hasn’t it take effect yet?’

Smacking his lips, he sat face to face with her.

“Anything particularly interesting happen today?” he asked.

“Not really, sir. I just arranged your books neatly as they were messy.”

Though she was a kisaeng, she was good at calligraphy and drawing.

He gave a laugh, thinking her skills were commendable.

“Really? Good job.”

“You can take a look when you can. By the way, you’re getting red in your face.”

Not only was his face red, but his penis was now growing so big. Viagra really took effect. He couldn’t sit on the floor quietly because he was getting a really large hard-on.

‘Wow! Kanghyok is really an excellent doctor!”

With a hearty laugh, he grabbed her all of a sudden.

“Just shut up and come hug me now!”
