Despite all the hardship…
The first thing I saw was the familiar crimson bed, and despair washed over me once more.
Well, honestly, I was a fool to think I could escape.
With that level of technology, at least a special forces unit should have come.
Come to think of it, I wonder if the detectives who came here were also castrated.
“You’re back.”
I turned to see Seung-ho.
Did he know I would return?
“…Why didn’t you stop me!?”
“It depends on how you look at it.”
If I had been subjected to tentacle modification under the pretense of escaping…
First, I needed to calm down.
“And I heard Ji-yoon already received her punishment.”
“Huh?”
Honestly, I only remember receiving a maid outfit as punishment.
Did they do something while I was asleep?
If so, I will destroy all those masks.
“Anyway, I’m glad you’re back safe.”
“I didn’t want to come back…”
Honestly, the exit was right in front of me…
For some reason, the punishment seems to have fizzled out, so I should think about the next game.
[Thump, thump!]
“Ji-yoon oppa~!”
I heard a familiar voice from afar and turned my head to see Yoo-jin running towards me.
But oppa… she called me “unnie” last time.
Still, I felt strangely good that I was being treated like a proper man.
“Hey…! Slow down for a second…!”
[Thud!]
As she hugged me, her unique fragrant scent wafted around me.
It hadn’t been that long, but I was so exhausted that I just felt grateful.
“Ouch… I’m glad you’re safe too.”
“Are you hurt anywhere!? Let me see!”
I lightly shook my head and looked at Yu-jin’s face.
I was glad that Yu-jin still seemed energetic.
“Oh…? There’s a tear here…”
[Rip-]
“Eep!?”
As she touched around my butt, a subtle pain washed over me.
Like I had been scraped on the floor… Come to think of it, I was injured last time.
“Wow… this is pretty bad.”
“Ugh…”
Every time she kept touching me, a moan escaped my lips.
Honestly, with just this much scraping… Is this also the effect of the modification?
[Thump, thump!]
“I looked around the auditorium and found a kit.”
Had she already gone and come back?
I was grateful that the two of them were doing this much for me.
But…
“I…! I’m okay! I’ll just take care of it myself…”
“Don’t feel pressured. Yu-jin, please step back for a moment.”
As Yu-jin stepped away from the bed, Seung-ho slowly began to touch my maid outfit.
I don’t know why… but I felt strangely nervous.
“Could you lie back for a moment?”
“Even so…”
But I couldn’t help but obey his earnest gaze.
[Slide…]
As soon as I lay back, I felt the wound touching the air, making it feel even more painful.
But more than anything, showing my skin to someone I had only met two weeks ago… that was more painful.
“…You really did get scraped here.”
“Just a moment…”
Why were tears coming out over this?
It must be because of the shame rather than the wound.
If I stay like this, nothing will change.
…It was better to end it quickly.
“Be… gentle…”
As soon as I said that, I felt his hand on the fabric near my leg.
And then.
“Aah!?”
As he grabbed my butt, I felt pain beyond imagination.
If the wound was this bad, I should be bleeding…
Soon… I felt the touch of a cold liquid on my butt.
“Ugh… gently…!”
“Just bear with it a little longer.”
It was definitely painful, but I felt something strange.
It was as if Seung-ho’s touch was reassuring…
“I’m a man, though…!”
“Pardon? What did you say?”
I buried my face in the pillow because I didn’t want to see this situation itself.
My face must be quite red.
As I said just now, I am definitely a man… but something was strange.
My heart kept beating fast.
I’m not gay…
“Hoo… haa…!”
Even in this situation, I could hear my own strange breathing, which further lowered my resistance.
Fortunately, my mouth was covered by the pillow, so it didn’t seem to be heard from the outside.
“Hoo… It was a little difficult because the wound was wide.”
“But you shouldn’t feel much pain now.”
“Haa… haa…”
Only my breathing continued to escape.
If my face came out of the pillow like this, Seung-ho would definitely see my face.
I refused to let that happen.
“Hoo…”
But as I took a deep breath for a moment, I felt my rough heartbeat stabilizing.
After calming down, I slowly got up from the bed and found that the painful feeling in my butt had really subsided.
“…Did you go to medical school?”
“Not medical school, but I studied a little.”
Even in this situation, I was turning my direction as much as possible to hide my face.
I felt like I wasn’t myself from earlier.
“Then I’ll go discuss it with the team…”
“Sorry I couldn’t talk for long.”
[Shuffle, shuffle…]
Honestly, I was grateful just for him treating my wound.
More than anything, I didn’t really want to face him right now.
“Haa…”
My body was tired, but strangely, I didn’t feel very hungry.
Come to think of it… when was the last time I ate?
I turned my head towards the monitor and saw ‘DAY – 11’ written on it.
Today is the 11th day…
I don’t remember eating since I was tortured by the masks.
Did they feed me something while I was sleeping…?
Come to think of it, I remember getting an injection in the neck right before I escaped.
[Slide…]
I put my hand on the back of my neck and found an injection mark.
[Thud-]
“Ah…!”
Could it be because of that injection…?
Seung-ho said that I had already received my punishment…
There were two punishments I had to receive.
Judging from what has happened so far, the first is a slight aphrodisiac effect.
The second is not feeling hungry…?
“Haa…”
Let’s say the first one is because the gas was already spread throughout the auditorium.
What is the second punishment?
If I don’t feel hungry, can I live without eating?
Or do I just not feel hungry?
Why did they even do this modification in the first place?
I couldn’t understand their intentions at all.
But I instinctively felt that my body was changing according to their tendencies.
I looked at the stage and saw that the men who were supposed to meet there were gone.
They must have been subdued like me and returned to their beds…
“Ugh…”
I felt tears coming out again for no reason.
The escape drama that started at dawn became a fiction, and it had already been over a week since I had seen the outside.
If I had refused that Ddakji game back then…
Come to think of it, I was kicked in the balls several times and only received 1 million won.
Will I be trapped here and modified like this?
After being modified, will I become their toy?
I can’t see the sunlight, so my thoughts seem to be getting more extreme.
[Shuffle, shuffle…]
“Excuse me… are you number 456?”
While quietly looking at the ceiling, I heard someone’s slender voice.
I looked there and saw a pretty and cute girl.
No, pretty girls are so common here that it’s not even surprising anymore.
Looking at the white patch… it was number 63.
“Why are you here?”
Because she had a history of blocking my escape, my tone naturally became harsh.
“Ah… that’s…”
As she hesitated, I started to get annoyed for no reason.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly and leave.”
Ah… I decided not to use informal speech.
I guess it doesn’t matter when dealing with someone like this.
“I’m really… sorry!”
She bowed her head and apologized politely, which momentarily embarrassed me.
“I was foolish…”
“I didn’t know it at the time… but after being subjected to it… I felt tears coming out for no reason… ugh…”
As tears flowed from her eyes, I felt guilty again for no reason.
As I’ve been living here, it’s clear that the power of appearance is great.
“Okay, I understand since you seem to be sincerely apologizing.”
“But don’t agree to the game again next time.”
“Yay…! Really!? Thank you!”
I was surprised once again by her changed tone.
Come to think of it, she had been subjected to the third modification.
I don’t know what the tone is, but the personality…
I haven’t figured out what the third modification is yet, but it seems to be in that direction.
“Is there anything else I can help you with…?”
“It’s okay. It would help me if you left now.”
She seemed to be about to continue speaking, but soon left the bed.
Honestly, I was surprised that she looked so much younger than before.
At most, she’s in her early 20s…?
Modification seems to be able to change a person’s physical age.
“Hoo…”
I felt something awkward while living here.
In the beginning, I was full of confusion, but now I was encouraging and empathizing with each other.
It was definitely a good phenomenon, but…
It felt like I was getting used to the game, which only made me feel repulsed.
