She thought about Baek Seonghyun.

“Do I have 3 billion won?”

If an ordinary high school student had said that, she might have dismissed it as typical teenage boasting. Maybe he inherited it from his family.

But she knew.

Baek Seonghyun’s parents were from an average income bracket, and he wasn’t lying.

So, how did Baek Seonghyun make that money?

“Maybe he won the lottery or made some investments.”

She felt a twinge of regret.

“Ugh… I should’ve remembered all the stocks.”

Yoo Seoyoung had an excellent memory. She could memorize a page of a textbook like a photograph and recite it perfectly hours later.

But fleeting things were something she “never” or “almost” remembered.

“It’s selective memory.”

That’s why all the news she saw usually slipped from her mind, except for Bitcoin.

She was undoubtedly the world’s worst investor.

“Ugh… I’m so clueless.”

She thought about Baek Seonghyun.

Somehow, he seemed like he would be good at investing. He seemed experienced and had a somewhat economical and discerning look.

“I don’t believe in physiognomy, but…”

Still, it was enjoyable to imagine. Baek Seonghyun managing her money.

It felt reliable.

“Did you feel the same way about me?”

Her thoughts circled back to the beginning.

In truth, she didn’t doubt Baek Seonghyun.

Without needing any logic or circumstantial evidence – from the first day they met, Baek Seonghyun’s eyes showed fervent love for her.

“Did you live through the same time as me?”

Whenever she thought about that, her heart didn’t just beat faster; it felt like a continuous connection.

Just the expectation that he would understand her unique worries – that he would accept them – was enough.

But.

“What’s your identity? Are you a time traveler?”

“No way?”

That day, he took her playful sincerity as a joke.

Yoo Seoyoung felt a mix of deep annoyance and laughter.

“It was a perfectly designed tone to make me feel irritated.”

Lowering the “ah” and “de,” raising the “nin” and “yo” – a clear provocation.

She bit her lower lip.

“I’m bad.”

But, she didn’t dislike that side of Baek Seonghyun.

Honestly, she loved him even more when he acted that way, and she wished he would tease her more. He was just too lovable when he acted like that.

“I’m bad.”

“No, you’re not,” she said.

But, she wanted to tease Baek Seonghyun a little.

Baek Seonghyun and she had met a week ago.

Yoo Seoyoung wanted to get closer now. Even though she was 25 and Baek Seonghyun seemed so bright, being the only slave and the only master was a romantic notion.

Every time she saw his hand – even when he wasn’t playing – she wished he would hold hers.

She wanted to kiss him like lovers at any time.

If society didn’t say anything, how wonderful would it be to meet as a real woman and man?

And today.

“Teacher, have you eaten dinner?”

Baek Seonghyun’s expression when he suggested having dinner together seemed so confident that it was almost embarrassing.

He didn’t seem to feel any embarrassment at all.

Maybe he was trying to hide everything behind a mask and show his owner’s intentions.

She felt a bit annoyed.

“Don’t you feel anything at all?”

So, she decided to scratch the surface a little.

“Are we eating together?”

“Of course. I don’t want to eat with anyone else.”

“Hmm… Then, you…”

Yoo Seoyoung’s lips curled up slightly. She felt a certain conviction that this man liked her.

He might be a scary master when playing, but…

When she was quiet like this, there was nothing he could do but endure it. How adorable she was.

In any case, even a cat is an animal companion, isn’t it lower than its owner?

She looked at Baek Seong-hyun with loving eyes.

“Are you asking me out on a date? Hmm?”

“What are you talking about? Slaves and owners often go on dates.”

“No romance, huh.”

Yoo Seo-yeong felt a slight lump in her throat.

Baek Seong-hyun really, truly hated losing.

That’s why he would pretend like that if he felt even a little threatened.

“Romantic? Between a slave and an owner?”

“Hmph. I’ll buy the food. Come on.”

And so, the two of them went out on their first date.

Baek Seong-hyun was tall.

He said he was 185cm tall. Probably the tallest student in school.

She glanced at his face briefly.

‘Impressive.’

Black, slightly curly hair. Eyes that seemed calculating somewhere, and a facial expression that seemed completely meaningless.

His appearance – against the bright red signs and the surprisingly well-blended streets.

She thought for a moment.

Of holding hands with him on this street.

Of walking down the street like lovers.

Wearing useless couple scarves, looking at the budget-wasting Christmas tree in Seoul.

“Omakase?”

“No. Are you crazy?”

The poor teacher had returned but had no money. Yoo Seo-yeong felt a slight embarrassment at this moment.

You should know a couple of things.

If you did, it wouldn’t be Baek Seong-hyun who was acting like this, it would be her.

“I’ll pay for it. Teacher. Slaves are supposed to buy food for their owners.”

When Baek Seong-hyun’s words grazed her ears,

She saw it.

‘Wow.’

In front of her, there was a small sushi restaurant with a bright but subtle light.

Men in white hats were holding sushi in their baby-like hands. The tuna sushi they made glistened.

The people sitting at the bar looked rich and happy.

It looked delicious at first glance.

‘I’m not usually one to enjoy gourmet food.’

But today, for some reason, she wanted to eat something delicious.

“This is the sea bream sushi. Soy sauce is already sprinkled on it, so you don’t need to dip it separately.”

“Wow.”

She couldn’t close her open mouth.

And she unconsciously blurted out the words she always said.

“I need to go on a diet.”

“Do pretty girls always say that?”

“Pretty… girls?”

“You haven’t gained weight, but you’re always on a diet.”

‘Wow…’

Yoo Seo-yeong felt a little excited.

Baek Seong-hyun always seemed to have a higher mental age than her, but there were times when he showed a slight gap.

For the first time, Baek Seong-hyun looked cute.

‘Look at him, fussing over his appearance.’

The Baek Seong-hyun she liked was very thorough in managing his expression even at times like this.

For example, right now.

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but

Other parts of his face seemed slightly tense.

Like his slightly trembling fingertips.

‘Ah, adorable.’

Adorable,

My owner.

She couldn’t help herself and absentmindedly stroked his curly hair. It smelled like men’s skincare lotion.

“Hey. Are you… working right now?”

“Normally… owners say that to slaves.”

His voice trembled slightly.

Somehow, today, it felt like he was really going to receive a severe punishment.

But – he couldn’t help but look forward to it.

Yoo Seo-yeong looked at him.

Baek Seong-hyun also looked at her.

Between the two lovers, there was a slight tension.

Who would confess first.

Or who would make the first move.

A game between the two that no one could interrupt.

“Let’s…”

Baek Seong-hyun paused.

“Do you want to exercise together?”

“Hmm… do you want to date me?”

“I like you, Teacher.”

“Sigh…”

Foolishly fighting with each other, they ended up in this kind of atmosphere. Amidst the pink ambiance, Yoo Seoyoung admitted to herself that she had fallen for him.

And she changed the subject.

“What do you want to do if we exercise together?”

“Swimming.”

“Hmm… Surprising, isn’t it? I thought you would make me do Pilates or yoga.”

“That’s fine too. But why?”

“Just. Were you planning to make me do Kegel exercises or something?”

“Oh, that’s a given.”

“What did you say?”

Phew. She almost spat out the expensive sushi.

She was especially careful.

Because if it was someone like Baek Seonghyun, he would have told her to clean it all up.

With her mouth.

“So why swimming?”

“Do you know how long adult women can hold their breath for?”

“Whew…”

At this point, Yoo Seoyoung seemed to be slightly losing her mind. A man who could casually mention such perverted things as if they were scientific facts.

Such meticulous consideration.

Indeed,

He was her master.

“Between 50 seconds and 90 seconds.”

“By any chance, isn’t that it?”

Baek Seonghyun leaned in as if telling her to listen to something nice. She slightly leaned in to listen.

He whispered some slightly naughty words.

“I like choking while hitting or choking until the throat is suffocated… I like that.”

“…Baek Seonghyun.”

“So, I’m going to make you do that. At least so you can endure it for about a minute without any trouble.”

Yoo Seoyoung- enjoyed this slightly thrilling moment.

So, she said to Baek Seonghyun.

With a hint of excitement.

Hoping he felt the same way.

“…Master.”

“…”

“I like you.”

Today, it seemed difficult to pass without playing.

.

.

.

The self-study room had become a place for playing.

“Master…”

She pleaded with a longing face. Please, kiss her.

“Ugh… Ugh… Chu… Hoo…”

Her drunken eyes seemed to be shedding tears like the moon. The world was shaking uncontrollably.

Today, Baek Seonghyun’s arms seemed thicker to her.

“Phew…”

Saliva dripping under the moonlight.

“Does it taste good, Master?”

With a slightly smiling face, Yoo Seoyoung scratched Baek Seonghyun.

“Do you like going on dates with me? Hehe. Hehehe…”

Unlike love, there was no room for misunderstanding in playing.

If you like someone, you just have to serve them accordingly.

And on days when you want to be punished, just slightly scratch your master’s nerves.

“I want to be punished today.”

And her master did not disappoint. His large and firm hand- slowly approached her white neck.

Yoo Seoyoung leaned into it as if asking for more pressure.

“Hoo…”

Naturally, choking was painful.

Her lungs were gasping for air, suffocating her. But how did he time it so perfectly… Just as her brain was deprived of oxygen, like magic, his hand released her. Yoo Seoyoung felt a little scared. The fact that her life depended on her master in front of her, it was thrilling, exciting, and terrifying.

The feeling of submission becoming sweeter little by little.

“Are you trying to provoke me? Huh?”

Because he was such a perfect master, she was ecstatic.

“Ugh… Thank you for educating me…”

“…”

“I’m grateful.”

If he wanted it, she had to be punished.

Anytime.

Furthermore, after being punished, Yoo Seoyoung could demand love.

Anytime.

That’s how she was stripped of all freedom, deriving pleasure from obedience, and sharing love.

It felt so safe, yet-

It gave off a truly dangerous vibe.

Yoo Seoyoung felt ecstatic in this moment.

“Come here.”

“Nyah…”

They kissed. He touched her chest. With an intensity that lovers could not even imagine- his touch was like crushing a person.

“Kyaah…”

Yoo Seoyoung was delighted to completely surrender control.

Her heart was pounding as if it would burst.

From above, the fact that someone is craving her body. And that person happens to be the one she loves the most – a sweet fact.

He made her the happiest.

“If it hurts, tell me.”

“More…”

So, today, she wanted to be punished.

With a piece of chocolate in her mouth, she made a dazed expression.

“Ah…”

Baek Seonghyun pushed her down.

Her brown wavy hair scattered on the desk. The man on top of her eagerly kissed her lips.

Passionate and intense.

“Ah…hah…”

“Get the chocolate out.”

“Yes…”

They were happy,

And there was still plenty of chocolate left.

“Ah…”

On a moonlit night,

Yoo Seoyoung and Baek Seonghyun looked at each other. Their clothes were halfway off, and tiny beads of sweat formed on their chests.

Baek Seonghyun seemed half-crazed with excitement.

In this moment, Yoo Seoyoung wanted.

For him to become her lover.

“Master…”

As if it were obvious,

“I don’t want to be taken advantage of, do I, Master?”

Yoo Seoyoung provocatively whispered.

The two lovers looked at each other as if they were having fun.

While a typical couple would have sweet love confessions, for them, it was a playful fight in their relationship.

‘I won’t be the first to speak.’

Yoo Seoyoung imagined.

Him unable to resist and rushing towards her, taking the maiden away.

That was the direction she desired.

“You might need a little spanking today, don’t you think?”

Of course, Baek Seonghyun was not an easy opponent.

“Hehe.”

And of course,

She loved him for it.
