Reborn in Happiness
A surge of heat flooded through me.
“Squeeeal…♥”
I knew it was a man’s seed, the fluid that would plant a baby inside a woman’s body, yet I attached no meaning to it. All I could manage was the faint, passing thought: So this is a man’s fluids seeping into me.
My hazy mind accepted everything in the world with open arms. A brilliant, all-encompassing euphoria made me feel as if I were floating on water. I was infinitely free, and at the same time, infinitely—
Happy…
Thrust. Thrust.
“Squeeeal———♥♥♥”
My body swayed limply back and forth while distant noises reached my ears. The sound of a pig squealing at the top of its lungs was identical to my own voice, yet it felt completely unreal, like background noise in a dream.
Every time he touched me, every time he entered me, I felt sweat, saliva, and all kinds of other fluids pouring from my burning body. An endless wave of pleasure washed over me.
I want to live like this forever.
I sincerely wished for it as my heavy eyelids slowly drooped shut. If I could just fall asleep like this, I would slip into a happy dream. I could live my entire life inside an ideal world called heaven.
Yes… I’m so tired… I don’t want to feel sad anymore… I don’t want to suffer anymore…
My vision was fading to black. My heavy eyelids sank lower. A languid warmth spread through me, and a pleasant drowsiness began to claim my mind.
Ji-seo… Ha-rin…
In the darkness, a faint light bloomed, and the faces of two precious people rose before me. I wanted to see them. A desperate longing to return to our old life stirred inside me—the days when Ha-rin and I would laugh together on campus, living joyfully through university. The days when Ji-seo and I would tease each other in the same room, cherishing one another with gentle affection. The truly happy times.
Yes, I can go back…! This isn’t real…!! If I keep going like this, I’ll only become what he wants…!!! Snap out of it, Lee Ji-ah!! If only to restore the two who were brainwashed—
“Hehe, you think I was the one brainwashed? Are you sure, Ji-ah?”
The familiar voice stopped my thoughts cold. When I turned my head, I saw Kim Ha-rin standing naked in the dark space of my consciousness, wearing a twisted smile.
H-Ha-rin…?
“Haha! How funny, Lee Ji-ah. You really are a detestable bitch, aren’t you? Fine, let’s say I was brainwashed. How are you going to explain stealing I-jun, the man you knew I had a crush on?”
That’s…
“You didn’t know? Really? Can you honestly say you didn’t know how I felt?”
Her relentless accusations left me speechless. To be honest, I had sensed it dimly. I could have asked, but I never did. Because I was scared. Scared that Ha-rin might feel the same way. Scared I would lose my precious friend… or lose the man I loved…
“You sly fox! Acting all innocent! Pretending not to know while putting your own feelings first, you selfish bitch—!!”
Ha-rin’s laughter vanished, replaced by a cold, cursing face. I clenched my fists tightly. There was truth in her words, but they were also full of contradictions. I had things I wanted to say too.
“You think you have the right to talk back? Oh, right. Of course you do. You’re just going to whine again. To me.”
Another familiar voice made me turn. Ji-seo…?
It was my little sister. My only blood relative, the one person I had relied on most emotionally. Ji-seo glared at me with icy eyes and spoke in a voice dripping with scorn.
“Whenever things get hard, you never even think about overcoming them alone. You just lean on others, whine, and wait for comfort, don’t you?”
Th-that’s… because you’re my little sister…
I stammered, unable to form a proper response to Ji-seo’s brutal honesty.
“Hah! As the older sister, as the elder, you think it’s something to be proud of that you depend on your little sister?”
I’m sorry for that…! But that’s how we’ve always been! When you were struggling, I comforted you and empathized with you…! Whenever either of us had a hard time, we’ve always done it that way! We’re sisters! Sisters connected by blood!! We’re family who cherished and gently embraced each other…!!
I finally poured out the emotions I had suppressed, raising my own voice.
After shouting it all out, I felt refreshed and courage surged through me once more. I would fight back. I would not run away. I would restore the two of them.
A brief silence fell. Ji-seo stared at me wordlessly before slowly opening her mouth.
“You’re right, sis. It’s exactly as you said. That’s why all this time… it’s been so painful.”
…What?
Her unexpected words left me stunned.
“It was painful. Shall I say it again, Lee Ji-ah? It was painful. Every time I saw you, I felt irritated, angry, and sick of you. It wasn’t just once or twice that rage boiled up inside me. Do you know how agonizing it was to act like a loving sister in front of you?”
You’re… lying…
“Lying? Why do you think I’m lying?”
You’re being brainwashed right now, saying things you don’t mean…! That man is controlling you, making you say these horrible things to me…!!
“Brainwashed? What nonsense is that? Do you have proof?”
Proof…? What proof…? That man, that evil man, said so! Th-that’s the proof!
“Weren’t you brainwashed too? Didn’t he manipulate your memories? Then how can you call those memories completely your own?”
That…
“I’m telling you it’s not true… I am! The person named Lee Ji-seo, with this body, this heart, this voice, this personality! I’m saying it’s not true—!! I’m saying I was never brainwashed—!!! This hatred I feel for you, more than anything else in the world, is real—!!!! Is there any clearer evidence than this!? Answer me!!”
Th-that’s…
I had nothing to say. Plausible arguments swirled inside my head, but my dizzy, reeling mind couldn’t pull them out properly.
“Hehe, can’t even come up with a single defense? Want to know why, you disgusting bitch? Because everything you said is wrong. Because you’re the one at fault. That’s why you can’t even speak properly. Got it?”
“It’s pathetic… It’s honestly humiliating that someone like you is my older sister.”
“Ahh…”
From both sides, Ji-seo and Ha-rin hurled condemnation at me. The more I heard, the more my mind turned pure white. I couldn’t think of anything.
I fell to my knees and covered my face with both hands. A choked sob leaked out.
I wanted to give up, but even then—
“Squeeeal——————♥♥♥♥♥”
The sound of the pig’s squeal made me flinch and turn my head. The faint noise I had heard earlier now rang vividly in my ears, as if demanding I listen properly. Not only that, I could see myself on the bed, being raped by him and squealing like an animal, as clearly as if it were playing on a screen.
No, it wasn’t rape.
The face with its slack, drooling smile drowned in ecstasy. The way my lower belly throbbed and gushed fluids every time the man thrust inside. The way I drooled instead of crying, displaying my ugliness. It was the very image of a sow happily offering her body to a man of her own free will.
That’s… me?
I watched my real self in disbelief. On my knees before him, acting spoiled, coupling with him like a beast in heat in the most vulgar way imaginable.
“Puhaha!! Look at that expression—!! Insane… To think that disgusting face belonged to my friend? Wow—I did the right thing cutting you off early.”
“Revolting. I feel like throwing up. It gives me chills knowing the same blood flows through someone like you.”
Ha-rin and Ji-seo mocked and laughed as they watched my real self. Their laughter echoed in my ears, burrowing into me endlessly. Even covering my ears with my hands was useless.
“Trying to run away again?”
“You run because you have nowhere else to lean on, you pathetic human.”
“I’m ashamed I was ever friends with a bitch like you, even for a moment.”
“Disappear from my sight right now, you hypocritical bitch.”
Their voices slipped through the gaps in my fingers. I trembled, enduring it, holding it in, until I finally reached my limit.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah—!
I screamed from the depths of my lungs, sprang to my feet, and ran forward into the darkness. Bang. Bang! I pounded desperately on the invisible walls with both fists.
Watching myself being defiled in reality. Watching myself cease to be myself. Watching my appearance being painted over with something else. Watching my body, my personality, my very existence being torn away.
I wailed until my throat felt like it would rip apart, screaming again and again.
I don’t want this!!
I said I don’t want it!!!
Take me out of here——!!!!
Get me out of this hell———!!!!!
* * *
“So, how do you feel right now?”
Exhausted from a night of continuous sex, I leaned back in a chair and asked the sow collapsed on the bed.
The sow—Lee Ji-ah—remained silent for a moment before answering.
“…Right now?”
She lifted her face from the pillow. Her voice was so eerily calm it sent a chill down my spine. It was hard to believe that just minutes ago the room had been filled with her pig-like squeals.
“Right now, I’m incredibly—”
She rose and sat on the edge of the bed, facing me directly.
“Happy. So happy I couldn’t possibly be any happier.”
Spreading both arms wide with a smile, Lee Ji-ah looked the very picture of serenity. Yet her dead eyes horribly twisted that tranquility. She was beautiful as she smiled brightly, but she radiated an inscrutable, sinister aura. Staring into those pitch-black pupils, one began to doubt whether she even had an inner self anymore.
She gave off a contradictory, incomplete feeling—like something alive that didn’t seem alive. Sunlight from the window poured over her as she sat naked on the bed, as if welcoming this newly transformed being.
“It feels like I’ve been reborn.”
The woman smiled darkly at me.
The human who had once been Lee Ji-ah.
Having confirmed the result of her corruption, I laughed silently to myself.
It was morning. The start of a new day.
For me.
And for her.
