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 s.n.a.t.c.hed 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 n.o.blemen 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 s.e.x 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 v.i.a.g.r.a 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 s.e.x.”

“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, v.i.a.g.r.a 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 p.e.n.i.s. 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 v.i.a.g.r.a.

“Alcohol… Got it.”

“Sounds good. I wish you good luck!”
