Chapter 62 - Ji-ha's Punishment
Vroom—
The grey sedan sped down the road, carrying Minseo and Ji-ha.
Inside the car, silence reigned.
'Shit... at least I wasn't kidnapped... but still...'
Minseo felt a flicker of relief that he hadn't been kidnapped upon waking up—if you could even call that a silver lining.
After he'd washed up, Ji-ha had been waiting for him, dressed in a neat, clean outfit.
The fact that she'd come to pick him up so early could only mean one thing: she intended to torment him even more, right?
Minseo tried his best to avoid looking at Ji-ha, keeping his gaze fixed on the window.
The old Minseo would have enjoyed the view after such a long time, but knowing the fate that awaited him, he couldn't possibly feel good.
Still, Minseo knew all too well that if things continued this way, he'd face the worst possible outcome.
So, the only thing he could do now was beg for forgiveness with all his heart.
Minseo slowly turned his head and looked at Ji-ha.
Ji-ha, who had also been looking out the window just like him, turned her head when she felt his gaze.
"Why."
It was a cold, indifferent word, but from that single phrase, Minseo understood exactly how she viewed him now.
Back when she was a secretary, the Lee Ji-ha he knew wasn't like this.
She'd always had a gentle, affectionate eye-smile and a voice full of warmth.
The fact that she'd changed so much must have been because she was deeply traumatized.
Gulp—
Minseo swallowed hard and opened his mouth.
"Ji... Ji-ha-ya... I really should have told you beforehand..."
"Call me Ji-ha-nim. Our positions are different now, aren't they?"
Minseo, who had opened his mouth cautiously, was cut off by Ji-ha.
Seeing her icy gaze and hearing her cold tone, Minseo felt a sense of terror, as if a tiger were standing right before his eyes.
Still, harboring a sliver of hope that he might be able to change things even a little, Minseo continued to speak slowly.
"Ji-ha-nim... I'm truly sorry... really... I know I can't even begin to fathom how betrayed you must have felt... and I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you..."
Minseo spoke each word with sincerity.
Of course, part of him didn't want to be tormented by Ji-ha, but the words he was saying now were genuine.
When he'd first become a slave, he was so disoriented and exhausted that he couldn't even think of Lee Ji-ha.
However, that was just an excuse.
From Lee Ji-ha's perspective...
If a superior she had followed and shared life with suddenly disappeared, and then turned out to be a spy, the sense of betrayal and rage would be boiling over beyond words.
After Minseo finished speaking, a few seconds of silence passed.
Before long, Ji-ha's voice broke the quiet.
"Sseup... hoo..."
A cigarette was held between her lips.
"I know. You couldn't tell me because you were a spy. Even if you trust a colleague, you'd be reluctant to reveal your true identity."
Ji-ha kept the window open, exhaling cigarette smoke as she continued.
"The reason you suddenly disappeared... was because Hayoung-eonni kidnapped you... and you had no way to contact me since then. You wouldn't have had the time to worry about me, either."
"Everything... when you look at it, there were circumstances. Don't you think?"
Ji-ha lifted the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at Minseo.
Minseo, frozen, slowly nodded his head.
'Is she... understanding me...?'
The car had already stopped, as if they had reached their destination, but Ji-ha continued to speak.
"I... I understand everything. I do. But..."
Ji-ha handed the cigarette butt to a subordinate waiting outside the window.
"That has nothing to do with forgiveness, does it?"
At those words, Minseo's lips trembled.
That's right... understanding didn't automatically lead to forgiveness.
Even if she understood, it could be treated as a completely separate matter from forgiveness.
"J... Ji-ha-nim..."
"The magnitude of the betrayal I felt... Minseo-ya... you have no idea."
Ji-ha laughed as if it were absurd and opened the car door.
"So... let's work hard to receive your punishment today, shall we?"
With that final remark, the car door on Minseo's side also clattered open.
Startled by the sudden opening of the door, Minseo turned around in surprise.
"Ueup-! Eup-!!"
And then, Ji-ha's subordinate quickly covered Minseo's nose and mouth with a handkerchief.
Minseo struggled and thrashed about, trying to escape...
But soon, his body went limp, and he fainted.
Lee Ji-ha watched the scene with an expressionless face.
"Prepare him."
Ji-ha ordered her subordinates.
*
"Heu... ha... where am I..."
Minseo blinked slowly, his consciousness returning as he looked around.
Yellow lighting and a dreary room... and several subordinates were standing there.
Among them, he could see a few people he had worked with during his time as an executive.
"Kang Minseo. You're awake."
And in front of Minseo, Ji-ha was crouching down, staring at him.
"Heut.."
Minseo flinched and tried to get up quickly, but something was wrong.
Something that should have been there was missing...
Fumble-fumble-
Realizing he was completely naked, Minseo hung his head low in shame.
"Keuhe... please... give me my clothes..."
"Minseo-ya. It seems you still haven't grasped the situation."
Jjaak—
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji-ha struck Minseo's cheek with her palm.
Minseo's head snapped to the side helplessly, and he staggered from the stinging pain.
Bewilderment and terror. And an indescribable feeling of sorrow tore through Minseo's body.
And then Minseo realized.
That he had already entered the tiger's den...
That resistance was meaningless...
"Kneel. Because there is nothing you can do here."
At those words, facing reality, Minseo slowly knelt on the floor, naked.
In front of Ji-ha's subordinates.
"Hoo... do you see that chair over there?"
Ji-ha pointed to a chair positioned in the center.
Nod—
Drenched in terror, Minseo nodded.
"You just have to sit there and endure it. Easy, right?"
Endure... what? What was she talking about?
Minseo didn't understand Ji-ha's words, so he looked closely at the chair...
Shit... something was sticking out of the chair.
Something that looked just like... a dildo...
"Yeah. It's a dildo. You have to endure it while that's inserted."
Ji-ha smiled, as if to confirm his worst fears.
"So... turn around. Apply the gel."
Ji-ha ordered, squeezing a generous amount of gel into her hand.
"Heuk... Ji-ha-nim... this... this isn't right..."
Minseo shook his head and teared up, but...
"You want to sit down without applying gel? It's going to hurt. Suit yourself, then."
Lee Ji-ha was an even colder-blooded person.
"Ah... I'll... do it..."
Realizing that begging was useless, Minseo slowly lifted his hips and turned toward Ji-ha.
Because this was the first time he was showing his anus in such detail to Ji-ha, Minseo's face was burning red.
"You have a body that's good for tormenting."
Ji-ha said something that was hard to tell if it was a compliment or an insult, and smeared plenty of gel onto his anus.
Every now and then, she would also flick his penis.
After his anus was slathered in gel—
"Now... sit."
Her words felt terrifyingly chilling to Minseo.
It was as if he were standing on the guillotine...
A black dildo was sticking out of the chair.
If he sat here, would he ever be able to escape?
"H... how long...?"
"Until I'm satisfied."
To Minseo's question, Ji-ha's answer was ambiguous.
Minseo used his trembling legs to slowly begin rubbing his anal folds against the dildo.
"Heut.. ha..."
It wasn't easy to insert the dildo by himself; it felt as if it wanted to go in, but also didn't.
And little by little, the dildo slowly began to force its way into Minseo's anus.
"Heuk.. ha..."
As the dildo entered to a certain extent, Minseo's thighs trembled violently.
"Heut-heu... wait... wait a second..."
Minseo spoke to Ji-ha, who was watching him, but Ji-ha was cold.
"There's no such thing as a second."
Ji-ha grabbed Minseo's shoulders and pressed down hard.
Swoosh—
"Heuaaak-!!"
With that, the dildo reached deep into Minseo's prostate, and Minseo was forced to sit properly on the chair.
As the dildo pushed all the way in and pressed against his prostate in an instant, Minseo's body shuddered.
"We haven't even started yet, and you're already enjoying it to death. Tie him up."
And Ji-ha ordered her subordinates to tie Minseo's arms and legs.
"Heut.. heu.. why.. why are you tying me up-!"
Minseo shook his head and tried to get up, but it was difficult to stand while having the dildo inserted.
Immediately, Minseo was restrained, with both ankles tied to the chair legs and his arms bound to the armrests.
Now, Minseo was tied to the chair, unable to do anything of his own volition.
With his penis fully exposed.
"Well, it's a nice sight."
Ji-ha said, scanning Minseo's body from top to bottom.
"Heu.."
At that gaze, Minseo squeezed his eyes shut.
And before Minseo could even open his eyes, Ji-ha's tongue suddenly forced its way into his mouth.
"Chyu-eup-"
Taken aback by the sudden, unexpected kiss, Minseo's eyes widened.
!!!
Along with the kiss, an unidentified pill entered his mouth.
After delivering the pill, Ji-ha pulled her lips away.
"Swallow."
At Ji-ha's cold command—
Gulp—
Minseo swallowed it without even knowing what the drug was.
"It's an aphrodisiac."
And... Ji-ha smiled broadly.
"A... aphrodisiac..."
He had taken it before. When he'd had sex at Chaeryeong's house, he'd experienced his body heating up like crazy.
His penis had been itching to the point of madness, and his body had felt like it was burning up.
"W.. why..."
"I've been thinking... about how I could torment you in the most vicious way possible..."
"And then... I thought of it. You'll want to ejaculate like crazy... but if you can't... wouldn't your face be worth seeing?"
At Ji-ha's words, Minseo's face turned pale.
"W.. wait.. J.. Ji-ha-nim...!!"
"Put the gag and blindfold on him."
At Ji-ha's command, a blindfold and a gag were placed on Minseo's face as he shook his head piteously.
And when Ji-ha pressed the button on the switch she held in her hand, the dildo embedded in Minseo's anus began to move slowly up and down.
Whirring-whirring-
Stabbing mercilessly at Minseo's prostate.
"Eup-!!! Eup-!!"
Minseo panted with his white belly heaving, looking as if he had something to say, but...
"See you in 30 minutes. Kang Minseo."
With that final remark, Ji-ha left the room.
