85 – Counseling Room (2)

“Don’t just stand there blankly, come and sit down.”

“Yes.”

At Woo Shin-hyung’s words, Ha-yoon answered weakly and sat on the chair opposite them.

After sitting down, no conversation took place. Ha-yoon naturally lowered her gaze under the weight of the two pairs of eyes staring intently at her.

“You’re a bit different from last time, aren’t you?”

Woo Shin-hyung said with a smile at the sight. Asking what was different was meaningless. Ha-yoon knew what he was talking about.

A month ago, when the three first met, Ha-yoon hadn’t completely shed the personality she had when she was still a man.

Of course, that was still the case now, but even while being punished, she was filled with thoughts of revenge against those who were inflicting pain, rather than thinking she had done something wrong.

Therefore, even though she knew she had to make a good impression on the VIP, her attitude was subtly full of dissatisfaction. She would obediently listen to orders, but it was clear that she didn’t want to.

Naturally, Woo Shin-hyung could see that clearly. It wasn’t as if he hadn’t met other patients with bad personalities, even if they weren’t as extreme as Ha-yoon. That’s why he enjoyed himself a little more intensely that day. He used drugs and poured excessive pleasure on her, to the point that even a patient couldn’t handle it.

Maybe that’s why, but the current Ha-yoon didn’t seem to have that dissatisfied atmosphere, unlike before. Submissive, or rather, the word ‘servile’ would be more fitting.

As Woo Shin-hyung sent a look containing that meaning, Ha-yoon pressed her lips shut instead of answering.

A silent affirmation. But she couldn’t help it. The memories of that time were extremely unstable, but her body remembered everything clearly.

“I saw you brought cigarettes earlier. Shall we see if you followed my orders well?”

“Yes.”

At Han Seol-ah’s words, Ha-yoon held out the cigarettes she had been clutching under the table.

“You left exactly three cigarettes, just like I told you to. You must have coaxed Teacher Park well, huh?”

She had tried to leave none. Although she didn’t say it, the smile on her face seemed to convey that meaning.

As she lowered her gaze without answering, a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed her chin, and lifted it up sharply. Dark eyes curved like crescent moons looked down at her.

“Ha-yoon-ah, I asked you. How did you coax Teacher Park so well?”

“…I made a bet with Teacher Park.”

“A bet? What kind of bet?”

“If I could make him cum once before I climaxed three times, he would give me one cigarette…”

“Aha. You managed to succeed in that?”

Han Seol-ah said, widening her eyes as if a little surprised.

That was because, generally, patients were more sensitive than ordinary women. Conversely, most of the teachers were either athletes or had similar backgrounds.

Even Teacher Gan, the smallest of the teachers at Somang Education Center, had a history as a boxer. So, for patients who easily climaxed when facing ordinary men, making a teacher cum before they climaxed three times was impossible without being incredibly skilled.

Knowing that, Han Seol-ah continued to ask.

“How did you do it? It couldn’t have been easy. And you succeeded three times in just one month.”

“Not three times, I only succeeded once. I saved up two cigarettes in advance.”

“Is that so? Then explain to me slowly and in detail how you succeeded.”

“Well…”

At the request for an explanation, Ha-yoon felt her tongue stiffen. But she knew that if she hesitated, the capricious Han Seol-ah might unleash her anger at any moment, so she took a breath and slowly continued.

“…I hugged Teacher Park from behind while he was showering and stroked his dick with my hand.”

“Uh-huh, and?”

“Teacher Park was surprised, but he soon regained his composure. It wasn’t the first time I had tried something like that. I knew that too, so I caressed his dick as usual. And when he was completely off guard…”

“When he was off guard?”

“I licked his ass.”

Having said that, Ha-yoon closed her eyes tightly. That memory had resurfaced. As she hurriedly tried to erase it by thinking of something else, Han Seol-ah looked at her with surprised eyes.

“Wow, you’re already rimming? And you’ve only been a patient for a little over a month?”

“…I wouldn’t have been able to follow your orders otherwise.”

“Even if you were trying to follow orders, you’ve only been a woman for a short time, and you’re already licking a man’s ass. You’re amazing.”

The tone of her voice sounded like praise, but considering the content and the expression on Han Seol-ah’s face, it was clear that she was mocking her. Ha-yoon’s face flushed red, and she clenched her fist under the table.

Han Seol-ah, seeing Ha-yoon trembling with shame, made an exaggerated fuss and said,

“Oh my, did I say something I shouldn’t have?”

“…No.”

“Right? I’m just saying something amazing is amazing, right? What man who’s only been a woman for a little over a month would lick another man’s ass?”

Ha-yoon squeezed her eyes shut at the voice that no longer hid its mockery.

She felt like she wouldn’t be able to bear it if she looked at Han Seol-ah’s mocking face. But despite her efforts, Han Seol-ah said in a cold voice.

“Ha-yoon-ah, what are you doing? How can you close your eyes when you’re making eye contact with me?”

Before she could even retort, the hand that had been holding her chin disappeared, and a huge impact struck her right cheek. Ha-yoon, stunned by the strong slap that made her body sway, reflexively grabbed her cheek and stared blankly at Han Seol-ah.

But the slap didn’t end there. Smack! Han Seol-ah slapped the other side of her face, which she hadn’t blocked, and said in a cool tone without even panting.

“Don’t avoid my gaze when you’re making eye contact with me. Unless you want to die.”

“Yes, yes…”

Ha-yoon answered blankly like a person who had lost her soul.

‘That psycho bitch.’

Woo Shin-hyung, who was sitting next to her and watching, muttered inwardly. If he said it out loud, Han Seol-ah would jump up and down again, but it was the truth.

A typical weak-to-the-strong person. Of course, he liked that kind of personality, which is why he kept her around.

Han Seol-ah, who had slapped her twice, plopped down in her seat and put a cigarette in her mouth. Then, she took out a lighter from her eco-bag, threw it to Ha-yoon, and said.

“Light it for me. You’ve upset me.”

“…I understand.”

Ha-yoon opened the lid of the lighter she had received and brought it close to the end of the cigarette. As she brought it closer, the lid opened with a ting sound, and the end of the cigarette began to burn to ash with a crackling sound.

Phew- Han Seol-ah exhaled smoke like a sigh and turned her head towards Woo Shin-hyung.

“Master, would you like a cigarette too?”

“Sure, why not.”

Woo Shin-hyung didn’t refuse and put a cigarette in his mouth. Without being told, Ha-yoon lit it for him with the lighter, just like she had done for Han Seol-ah.

Whether she was satisfied with that or not, Han Seol-ah handed over the last remaining cigarette and said.

“Here, you have one too.”

“…Thank you.”

Ha-yoon bowed her head and lit the cigarette. And at the moment she deeply exhaled the smoke, she felt that her situation was quite pathetic.

Even if she got angry at the teachers and rebelled, she would only get a little punishment, but if she did that to these people, she could literally disappear without a trace.

The education center itself would protest if a trainee disappeared, but all they had to do was slip them a little money, and it would be changed to something like they escaped and died in an accident.

So, she was struck by the thought that the existence of patients, of trainees, was pathetic.

‘Is that why Shin So-hyun was acting like that?’

Ha-yoon involuntarily thought that and let out a hollow laugh inwardly.

I must be stressed. To be thinking like this.

As the three smokers puffed out smoke, the already cramped counseling room was filled with acrid smoke.

From the outside, it might seem like a fire had broken out, but Ha-yoon, who had become somewhat accustomed to it, could bear it as long as her nose was a little sore.

“Ha-yoon-ah, your hand.”

“Yes?”

Ha-yoon involuntarily retorted at the sudden words. But at the sight of Han Seol-ah’s narrowly opened eyes, she hurriedly held out her hand.

“But why my hand- Aaaagh!”

Sizzle- The sound of flesh burning could be heard faintly. Ha-yoon, screaming in sudden pain, looked at the cigarette that was on her palm with tearful eyes. And she asked in a trembling voice, looking at the owner of the hand that was holding it.

“Why, why…”

“I didn’t have a suitable ashtray. And Ha-yoon’s hand just happened to be there.”

Ha-yoon widened her eyes at Han Seol-ah’s plain voice, as if it were nothing. But that didn’t last long either. Han Seol-ah grabbed her other hand and said.

“I used your right hand, so your left hand is for Master!”

“W-wait a minute- Hwaaagh!”

Another scream erupted as Woo Shin-hyung burned her palm without much hesitation. Only after the sound of flesh burning had completely stopped did the force restraining both hands loosen.

Ha-yoon brought her trembling hands up and looked at them. There was a black, charred mark in the center of her palms, as if a hole had been punched through them.

“Haha, it’s like stigmata!”

“That’s blasphemy.”

“Who cares!”

Han Seol-ah, who had been a churchgoer in the past, knew that better than anyone. To dare compare a mere cigarette burn to stigmata. But since becoming a patient, she didn’t believe in gods, so Han Seol-ah had no qualms about making such a statement.

Blasphemy or whatever, if it’s fun, that’s all that matters, right? Woo Shin-hyung, alternating between looking at Han Seol-ah, who was grinning, and Ha-yoon, who was trembling as she looked at her hands, shook his head and said.

“Stop with the ridiculous stuff and let’s move. We have a lot of places to go today, right?”

“Ah, that’s right! I was so happy to see you after so long that I forgot.”

“Augh…!”

Ha-yoon let out a groan of pain as Han Seol-ah grabbed her hands, which still hadn’t cooled down from the cigarette burns. But Han Seol-ah didn’t care and said.

“Let’s go! Let’s go shopping!”
