Chapter 952: Side Story – Distribute Roles Carefully (4)

-Gulp, gulp.

“Phew, hoo….”

Seo Ok-hee, hanging naked in mid-air, meekly accepting the water from the bottle I handed her.

She seemed to have emptied about half of the 500mL PET bottle in an instant, so as soon as I tilted the bottle’s opening slightly, a sense of inexplicable disappointment washed over her face.

“…….”

“Why? Want to drink more?”

“…Yeah.”

“You must have been really thirsty. Well, you did spill quite a lot of water down there.”

“…Just give me more already.”

Perhaps feeling a bit better after rehydrating, Seo Ok-hee let out a slightly insolent voice.

It was only natural that I felt like teasing her, daring to act this way even while her hands and feet were bound.

“Talking back so rudely, Seo Ok-hee?”

“Just give me more, Taekyung-a. It feels like there’s still a lot left to do….”

“Try saying, ‘More please, Master.'”

“…You wanna die, seriously?”

“Huh? Are you refusing, Seo Ok-hee? It’s an order from the ‘Puppeteer’?”

“…….”

“Now that I think about it, I’m curious about what the next penalty will be. Your hands and feet are already tied, but are there any more places left on your body to tie up, Ok-hee? If you’re curious, why don’t you keep refusing?”

“…please. …Master.”

“I can’t quite hear you.”

“M-more please…. M-Master…”

The moment I saw Ok-hee barely manage to answer with her face bright red, my pants suddenly felt uncomfortable.

First off, the very sight of her desperately trying to act cute for me while being the only one naked and bound was incredibly hot, and on top of that, the fact that she seemed to be resisting strongly on the outside while secretly not hating it deep down really stimulated my desires.

Knowing her well for knowing how to get my dick hard in many ways, I brought the water bottle back to her lips, and with my other hand, gently stroked the back of Seo Ok-hee’s head.

“There, there. If our Ok-hee wants to drink more, I’ll give it to her.”

“…….”

-Gulp, gulp.

Seo Ok-hee, now much calmer, perhaps realizing that resisting would only lead to more embarrassing demands.

Only after she finished the entire 500mL PET bottle did I turn my head to look at the electronic scoreboard next to her and me.

“By now, the next requirement should be showing up soon. We’ve gone through the three rounds written on the board, and she’s drunk all the water.”

“If you hadn’t done that pointless thing… Ah, never mind.”

Seo Ok-hee, immediately realizing that saying anything more here would be pointless, cut herself off and shook her head.

As I quietly smiled at her reaction, the scoreboard’s content changed again, and a tool dropped from the ceiling.

-Tuk.

“…A blindfold?”

“Yep. It’s a blindfold.”

“…….”

The moment she saw the blindfold, Seo Ok-hee’s eyes rolled with a subtle expression, seemingly recalling the time they explored the Mystery Dungeon.

I also vaguely recalled what happened to Ok-hee back then, so I could roughly guess why she was reacting like this.

Last time, when we entered the Mystery Dungeon, I left Ok-hee completely bound and blindfolded, just to observe her reaction for a while.

Even though I only left her alone for less than five minutes, the way she got scared, thinking she’d been abandoned, was strangely exciting.

‘In fact, she clung to me in fear the moment she couldn’t see in the dark maze today.’

In a way, what Seo Ok-hee fears more than being unable to use her awakening ability or having her limbs restrained is having her freedom of sight suppressed.

Conversely, that means the sense of helplessness she feels will intensify, making her body even more excited.

「Requirement: From now on, the ‘Doll’ must wear the blindfold. The blindfold cannot be removed until the current door opens. If the ‘Doll’ refuses to wear the blindfold or removes it midway, a penalty will be imposed on the ‘Doll’.」

And just as expected, it was Belle’s scoreboard presenting the next requirement using the blindfold that fell to the floor, so I simply brought the black blindfold lying on the ground towards her face.

“Bring your face over here.”

“…Th-that’s…”

“Huh?”

“…Never mind. It’s nothing.”

Seo Ok-hee, her expression still tinged with fear, nonetheless obediently presented her face to me.

The moment I placed the blindfold over her eyes, blocking her vision, her breathing strangely began to quicken.

“Haa, haa….”

“…….”

“Hey, hey…. Sung Taekyung….”

“…….”

“Sung Taekyung? Hey, Sung Taekyung…!”

“I’m right here.”

“A-answer me quickly when I call you!! Why, why are you suddenly pretending you’re not here?! Stop that, it’s not fun?!”

Seo Ok-hee, whose will to resist seemed somewhat intact even when her limbs were bound just moments ago, became instantly frail the moment I put on the blindfold.

Separately, seeing the expected points gradually increasing due to the excitement of the situation itself, it could only be described as a truly ironic sexual preference.

“Sung Taekyung, you’re there, right?”

“…I’m right here.”

“A-answer me quickly! Why, why are you always so slow?!”

“What are you doing calling my name repeatedly when you have nothing to say? Are you scared because you can’t see anything?”

“Scared? What are you talking about! I-I’m how old now? Does it even make sense to be scared just because I can’t see?!”

Of course, it makes sense. The evidence is right in front of me, showing it with her whole body.

“S-speak up promptly when I talk to you! Hey, Sung Taekyung!”

“…….”

“D-did I say it wasn’t fun? You know I’m right here, so if you think I’ll get scared just because you won’t talk….”

Seeing Seo Ok-hee manifesting defense mechanisms to hide her fear made me feel a growing sadistic urge to tease her.

To test just how much fear Seo Ok-hee was feeling in that state, I casually slipped a finger between her lower lips.

-Rub.

“Hiyak?!”

-Squish, squish.

“Euhheuut, hu, hyak?!”

Just inserting my middle finger was enough to instantly wet it with Seo Ok-hee’s sticky discharge.

It was a reaction that clearly confirmed how significant the helplessness she felt was, being restrained in body and sight. And also, how considerable her sexual desire was, fueled by that helplessness.

-Squish, squish.

“I-is that you, Sung Taekyung? A-are you touching me?!”

-Squish, squish, squish.

“I’m asking if you’re touching me, you bastard!”

“Who else would it be? There’s only you and me in this dungeon, are you expecting a ghost?”

“Th-then answer me! H-how am I supposed to know if you just touch me like this without saying anything?!”

Even as she said this, Seo Ok-hee didn’t seem particularly bothered by the act of being touched itself.

Her mind was already completely filled with the need to confirm that she was in the same space as me.

Rather, it was probably a relief for Seo Ok-hee to feel my presence, even like this. Even if she couldn’t hear my voice, she was proving my existence through physical sensation.

-Squish, squish.

“Haa, you, you really…. playing these pointless games even in this situation…”

-Slide.

“……Huh?”

Therefore, just a little more.

Wanting to confirm just how much Ok-hee needed proof that I was in the same space, I slowly slid the finger I had placed on her genitals outward.

“Haa, haa…. S-Sung Taekyung?”

“…….”

“Y-you’re starting that crap again…? Fine, go ahead…. Do you really think I’ll even bat an eye…?”

“…….”

“Playing the same game once or twice is enough…. Y-you’re acting like you own the place just because I’m playing along a little…. Y-you’re really gonna die when we get back to the company…?”

“…….”

“I-I’ll forgive you if you come out now, so answer if you’re there… 5, 4, 3, 2….”

“…….”

“O-one… Half of one… Quarter of one…”

First denying the possibility that I might not be nearby, then getting angry as if tired of the same game, and then trying to persuade me to come out…

Watching Ok-hee’s attitude change progressively, like the five stages of grief, I desperately held back my laughter and quietly observed her.

“H-hey…”

“…….”

“A-are you really not here? M-maybe you went to the bathroom…”

“…….”

“Th-that last part was just me talking to myself, so don’t worry about it… If you show up now, I won’t say anything when we get back to the company, or anything like that… Okay…”

Who exactly was she talking to, trying to persuade?

Seo Ok-hee’s continuous self-rationalization and actions, desperately hoping I would reveal my presence in any way possible.

Feeling a bit sorry for teasing her too much, and thinking it was about time to reveal myself and continue with Belle’s instructions, just then, Seo Ok-hee uttered a shocking statement that even I didn’t expect.

“M-Master.”

“……?”

“M-Master… Y-you’re watching right now… R-right…?”

“…….”

“M-Master, I’m thirsty… Please give me some water, Master…”

…It seems Seo Ok-hee’s talents aren’t limited to just being a Hunter.

Seeing her go so far as to call herself ‘Master’ in her determination to make me reveal myself showed that she possessed a genius talent for getting my dick hard, too.
