Cheoljin silently watches Siwoo after receiving a barrage of questions from him.

“I’ll answer your questions about the meeting one by one later… Before that, there’s something I want to show you right now…”

Cheoljin postpones answering Siwoo’s questions, saying out of the blue that he has something to show him immediately.

Then, he fiddles with his smartphone and sends a text message to Siwoo.

Siwoo takes out his smartphone and immediately checks the message Cheoljin sent.

The message from Cheoljin contained a video link to a private, unlisted streaming broadcast.

“What is this?”

Siwoo looks at Cheoljin with a puzzled expression and asks.

“I’ll explain later, so turn down the volume a little and play it… It’s live, so if you don’t watch it now, you won’t be able to see it later…”

Cheoljin wears a faint, smug smile and abruptly tells Siwoo to turn down the volume and play the link to the video he sent.

Siwoo hesitates for a moment, then with a suspicious feeling, lowers the volume and touches the link address sent by Cheoljin to play the video.

A completely black screen filled Siwoo’s smartphone.

Siwoo wondered what kind of video it was and was carefully watching the screen, but the black-filled screen remained unchanged, as if frozen from beginning to end.

Could it be that something went wrong and it’s not playing?

Siwoo tries to take a closer look at his smartphone again.

Siwoo gets the feeling that something is wrong.

Suddenly, a faint breathing sound is heard.

Breathing sounds that sometimes rise roughly and then subside again were echoing from the smartphone’s speaker as if overlapping.

Not just one or two people, but the sounds of several people overlapping here and there were echoing, creating a wide and deep sense of space.

He felt like he was losing touch with reality, but at the same time, a sense of excitement seeped into Siwoo through the sounds in the video.

“What is it? I can’t see anything? I just keep hearing strange breathing sounds?”

Siwoo checks the video and asks Cheoljin, expressing his embarrassment.

“The person filming this video right now is my mom.”

Cheoljin reveals to Siwoo that the person broadcasting the video in real-time streaming is none other than Aunt Gyuri.

“Filming is your mom? Live? What kind of strange thing are you making Aunt Gyuri do again? And what’s wrong with the screen?”

Siwoo couldn’t hide his discomfort and asked, checking the smartphone screen again.

“Yeah, live! A micro camera. My mom probably doesn’t even know she’s filming… The camera screen is showing exactly what’s happening. She’s in that kind of place right now. Where do you think it is?”

Cheoljin hides a subtle smile in his eyes and asks Siwoo as if testing him.

“How am I supposed to know just by looking at this?! Is it a place I know?”

Siwoo asks, a little annoyed, as if Cheoljin’s question-and-answer game has started again.

“Well, I don’t think you’ve ever been there, but… should I say you know it?”

Cheoljin provokes Siwoo again as if he’s playing twenty questions, with a nonchalant and relaxed expression.

“Damn it! If you’re really going to drag it out like that, tell me later! I’m going downstairs first.”

Siwoo must have thought that he could no longer be swayed by Cheoljin’s arrogant attitude, so he pushes off from where he was standing and tries to walk towards the stairs.

“Okay… I really know now~ I’ll tell you everything now, wait~!”

Cheoljin grabbed Siwoo, as if he was really going to reveal everything now, and was talking.

**

“Okay, okay~ Calm down a bit… I’ll explain from now on.”

Cheoljin continued softly, as if trying to quell the sharp curiosity pouring out from Siwoo’s eyes.

Siwoo realizes that he had been a little excited and tries to calm himself down by taking a deep breath.

“I’ll say this in advance, just in case, I never intended to deceive you or make you a bad person… That’s still the same now… I hope you believe this because it’s true. I can’t help it if you don’t believe me…”

Cheoljin starts speaking cautiously, but with a slightly excited voice…

“And I’m only talking about what I know, so please listen with that in mind!”

Cheoljin paused for a moment and watched Siwoo’s reaction, as if checking whether Siwoo was ready to listen to him.

Siwoo still had a dubious expression on his face even after hearing Cheoljin’s words.

The actions Cheoljin had shown so far seemed to be mixed with some secret intention rather than sincerity.

But Cheoljin’s strangely serious eyes and voice strangely came to Siwoo more persuasively than ever before.

It was Cheoljin who first informed Siwoo, who knew nothing, about the existence of the slave contract.

It was also Cheoljin who made him realize that Yuna Yoo, the director of Seyoung’s magic academy, was related to the mothers’ slave contracts…

It was also thanks to Cheoljin being there that Siwoo was able to protect his sister Sehee from the brothers in that urgent situation on the day of the meeting…

Come to think of it, all of those things were possible because Cheoljin was there.

Of course, it was also true that Siwoo had misunderstood or been in trouble because Cheoljin had not clearly explained the facts he knew.

But looking back, there was a certain consistency and sincerity in Cheoljin’s actions.

Cheoljin was unreliable in many ways, but at least when it came to what he was saying now, he felt like he could ease his doubts and believe him a little.

Siwoo belatedly nods slowly, recalling Cheoljin’s efforts and devotion, which he could not understand exactly, but were hard to deny.

That did not mean complete trust in Cheoljin, but it showed Siwoo’s sincerity and attitude to understand Cheoljin’s sincerity, at least at this moment.

**

“So where is this?”

Siwoo, who is standing up again, asks Cheoljin as if confirming.

Siwoo’s interest had already shifted to the video Cheoljin had shown him.

“Didn’t I tell you once before? The cafe in the basement of Seyoung’s magic academy.”

This time, Cheoljin readily answers Siwoo.

Then, he smiles as if he is quite proud inside.

Siwoo’s head seemed to go a little blank at Cheoljin’s expression and answer.

The cafe in the basement of Seyoung’s magic academy was a place that Siwoo had never been to, but had often heard about from Seyoung in passing.

And the place where Siwoo promised to buy ice cream for Sua and Seyoung someday…

“Why is your mom filming this here? And what are these sounds? It’s not just one or two people?”

Siwoo asked with a confused voice, embracing complex emotions and thoughts.

“I think mom is working right now… I don’t know what these sounds are?… Maybe it’s the sounds the visiting customers are making?”

Cheoljin said to Siwoo, adding his thoughts in a calm tone, as if he was explaining a scene he was seeing for the first time.

“I think my mom has taken off all the clothes she wore… Only the camera on the dog collar is in that state, and the rest are all stopped in a fixed state in a bright place.”

Then, he began to describe the state of the camera he had installed on his mom, as if guessing and drawing the situation.

“What?!”

Siwoo reacted as if Cheoljin’s answer was not easily understood.

**

Siwoo is staring at the black smartphone screen as if his thoughts have stopped for a moment.

Siwoo couldn’t say anything because he couldn’t understand the situation itself even after hearing Cheoljin’s explanation.

“…Siwoo, do you remember the day I brought you to my house and showed you me spanking my mom’s butt for the first time?”

As if trying to give a further explanation, Cheoljin asked as if confirming whether Siwoo remembered that day when he showed him spanking his mom.

The incident that made Siwoo step into the unfamiliar world of incest…

Including sadistic and dominant tastes….

The scenes and sounds of that day, which could not be forgotten, were still deeply engraved in Siwoo’s mind and were often replayed.

“Of course… I remember… You said you would show me something good and took me to your house, and then you slapped your mom’s butt while she was giving us drinks and snacks in the room? Why are you bringing that up now?”

Siwoo looks at Cheoljin with a slightly displeased expression and asks back as if curious about the reason for bringing up that story again.

“…And then a few days later, you sent me my mom’s slave contract on my smartphone on the way to school, right?”

Cheoljin continues to ask as if checking Siwoo’s memory.

“Oh… that day, you were caught stalking my sister and sent me a picture as an apology…”

Siwoo recalls that day again and frowns slightly as he speaks to Cheoljin.

“No! It’s marking, marking! And I didn’t apologize because of that, I apologized because I couldn’t tell you in advance! You have to say things right!”

Cheoljin says, correcting the facts as if with a slightly excited voice.
