    “And Sejin unnie too!! How could you forget about Sejin unnie’s too~?!”

    Seyeong says, with a tone as if she can’t believe her older brother didn’t think of Sejin noona.

    “Ah…Se…Sejin noona’s too…”

    Siwoo stutters his reply, as if a bit flustered by Seyeong mentioning Sejin noona.

    “Sejin unnie will be very upset if she finds out later~ Hehe”

    Seyeong teases Siwoo with a slightly playful tone.

    Does Seyeong already know to some extent about the relationship between Sejin noona and Dad?

    Perhaps Seyeong, through Seonjoo imo or Yuyena teacher, already knows more secrets than Siwoo does.

    Sejin noona is definitely one of the people who share the family’s past and secrets.

    However, after Dad passed away and she left home, there hadn’t been any significant conversation or exchange with Siwoo about such things.

    -She did inform him of her pregnancy through Sehee noona, and she handed over the key to the drawer where the slave contract was kept…-

    Without any prior notice, what kind of reaction would Sejin noona show if he presented her with a dog collar after such a long time?

    No matter how much she knows about the relationship between Sejin noona and Dad, or the reason she left home, it seemed inevitable that he would feel awkward about Sejin noona, unlike the other family members.

    “Th…then, Seyeong, would you like to pick out Sejin noona’s and Sea’s as well?”

    Siwoo proposes that Seyeong choose the design and color of the dog collars for Sejin noona and Sea.

    “Okay, I got it~ Then I’ll pick out Sea’s first~!”

    Seyeong answers Siwoo’s words and slowly scans the display case where the dog collars are displayed.

    And soon her index finger points to a teal-colored collar in the middle.

    “How about that one? The green one in the middle!”

    Seyeong said, looking up at Siwoo with bright eyes.

    “You mean this one?”

    Siwoo picks up the dog collar that Seyeong pointed to and asks, looking at Seyeong.

    “Yeah~ That one! I really like that color~”

    Seyeong confirms with her expression and words that the teal dog collar Siwoo picked up is the one she chose.

    Siwoo puts the teal dog collar, along with the matching leash, in the basket.

    “And~ for Sejin unnie~”

    Seyeong continues, choosing a dog collar to put on Sejin noona with a slightly excited voice.

    “This would be good~!!”

    Seyeong takes out a collar hanging on the display case right in front of her and hands it to Siwoo.

    A slightly thick and heavy-feeling chain collar.

    It was a dog collar with protrusions sticking out that were arranged to press against the inside of the neck.

    Siwoo had heard somewhere that there were special collars used to tame large and fierce dogs.

    The unusual-looking chain collar that Seyeong handed him seemed to be that special-purpose collar.

    A training collar that painfully presses the neck the more it is pulled.

    The chain collar with protrusions on the inside also came with a chain leash as a set.

    “Uh…this?”

    Siwoo receives the chain dog collar and asks Seyeong for confirmation, showing a slightly embarrassed expression.

    “Yes~! I think something like this would suit Sejin unnie well. Hehe~”

    Seyeong says to Siwoo with an innocent smile.

    Seyeong definitely knew the detailed circumstances of Sejin noona.

    The circumstances of Sejin noona, who had an affair with Dad, became pregnant, and ran away as if fleeing home…

    For a moment, Siwoo felt a chilling sensation, as if something was crawling on his back.

    Siwoo pretends to be nonchalant and puts the chain dog collar he received from Seyeong into the basket.

    “Then, do we really just have to pick out Seonjoo’s and Sehee’s now? I’ll pick out Sehee’s, so Sua, would you like to pick out Seonjoo’s?”

    Siwoo said to Sua as if trying to change the mood.

    “Okay…”

    Sua answers, nodding shyly.

    After looking around the display case for a while, Sua chose a black leather collar.

    A leather collar with double buckles like a belt.

    It seemed to suit Seonjoo imo, who had a unique sense and stylish attire.

    Siwoo chose a purple leather collar to put on Sehee noona.

    A casual design and color that would suit women of Sehee noona’s age.

    “That would really suit her well~”

    Seyeong says, with a satisfied and excited expression.

    “Oppa~! Oppa! This! The one that was in Sua’s house!”

    Seyeong then calls out to Siwoo, pointing to something a few steps away.

    What Seyeong is pointing at is a large-sized iron cage similar to the one she saw at Seonjoo imo’s house.

    An iron cage large enough to hold several large dogs.

    The length and width were large enough for an adult man to lie down in…

    The height of the iron cage seems to be about Seyeong’s height.

    As with Seonjoo imo’s house, blackout curtains were installed on the outside.

    Blackout curtains for the purpose of not exposing the inside…

    Siwoo momentarily imagines the family members inside the iron cage.

    A tingling current seemed to flow rapidly through his spine and into his entire body.

    “It would be nice to install this in our living room too.”

    Seyeong says with a bright smile, as if reading Siwoo’s imagination.

    “Should we?! This is too big, so we’ll have to get it delivered.”

    Siwoo answers as if he doesn’t care anymore about Seyeong finding out about his delusions.

    -Click! Click! Click!

    Siwoo takes pictures of the entire iron cage that Seyeong chose, along with the price tag that has the model name written on it.

    Seyeong also runs forward and chooses a mobile cage that was displayed near the iron cage.

    -A mobile cage for carrying puppies-

    Siwoo and his younger siblings seemed to have finished shopping for the most part.

    Siwoo carries the basket to the counter to pay for the items he has chosen with his siblings so far.

    **

    As soon as they arrive at the counter, Seyeong immediately starts picking something up and placing it on her palm from the display case next to it.

    “What’s that?”

    Siwoo asks, as if curious about what Seyeong is picking.

    “Dog identification tags~ We need these too, don’t we?”

    Seyeong said smugly, showing Siwoo the name tag identification tag on her palm.

    Siwoo picks up a design he likes among the name tags that Seyeong picked out and examines it.

    It was a black heart-patterned name tag made of stainless steel.

    It had a ring like a key chain, so it could be hung on the ring part of the dog collar that connects the leash.

    It seemed that the dog’s name or phrase could be engraved with a laser.

    If you turn it to the back, there was a separate space to engrave the guardian’s name and information.

    However, it seemed that engraving would take a little time.

    Siwoo picks up the name tag identification tag that Seyeong chose, including the one for Mom.

    Siwoo takes the seven name tags to the counter clerk to check whether it is possible to engrave the letters right away and how long it will take.

    The clerk says that it will take about 10 minutes to engrave all seven name tags.

    Siwoo shows the clerk the items he chose with his siblings, along with the name tags, and the picture of the iron cage, and pays for everything with Mom’s card.

    Items that were bulky were requested for delivery.

    After the payment is completed, Siwoo receives paper from the clerk according to the number of name tags.

    Seonmi, Seonjoo, Seyeong, Sua, Sehee, Sejin, Sea

    Siwoo first divided the names to be engraved on the front onto seven pieces of paper.

    He commonly writes his initials SWY in the owner information section to be engraved on the back.

    Siwoo submits the completed paper to the clerk.

    The clerk, who receives the paper and name tags, uses a laser engraving machine that looks like a microwave oven behind the counter to engrave the names of the slaves and the owner’s initials on the front and back.

    Siwoo now officially becomes the owner of the house, and it seemed that he could finally realize, even just a little, the feeling of making his family slaves.

    It’s really just a dog collar and an identification tag, but…

    Siwoo looks at the name tag visible through the glass door of the laser engraving machine and suddenly recalls the slave contract in the desk drawer in Sejin noona’s room.

    A piece of paper that has no legal force or effect, just like the dog collar he bought today…

    Do the people who wrote it and the people around them really believe that a master-slave relationship is established between them?

    At least some of the people Siwoo knows seem to take the relationship for granted and live trying to follow the terms of the contract.

    -Even if you look at the appearances of Seonjoo imo and Gyuri ajumma…-

    Siwoo momentarily imagines a scene of writing slave contracts with all of his family members.

    His family members, with his semen in their mouths, lined up and knelt down, writing the contracts.

    The family members were wearing nothing but the dog collars and leashes he bought today.

    Siwoo’s lower body involuntarily tenses up.
