Chapter 272
Si-woo had vaguely suspected that Teacher Yoo Ye-na might be connected to his family's past.
However, he hadn't expected to find information about her in a place like this.
Recalling the order of the list he had seen earlier, Si-woo flipped through the documents inside the purple binder. After turning a few pages in the order specified on the list, he easily found a photograph of Teacher Yoo Ye-na.
It was a photo of her past self, looking young and fresh—about the age of an Intermediate Academy student.
On the Slave Contract the photo was attached to, Si-woo confirmed the name 'Yoo Ye-na' written in the slave signature line.
It was undoubtedly the name and face of the teacher he knew.
In an instant, the image of Teacher Yoo Ye-na’s breasts and hips, which always seemed ready to burst out of her black formal suits, flickered before his eyes.
Si-woo imagined himself thrusting his erect cock into Teacher Yoo Ye-na’s pussy hole while she was still dressed in her suit.
At the premonition that this might not remain a mere fantasy, strength surged into Si-woo’s penis once again.
His cock throbbed as it rose, leaking pre-cum.
Had Teacher Yoo Ye-na been living as a slave since long before Si-woo was even born?
Si-woo immediately shifted his gaze to check the name in the master signature line.
"Huh?"
Expecting to see his father's name, Si-woo hesitated for a moment and re-examined the name written on the contract.
'Yoo Seok-hyeon.'
An unfamiliar name was written in the master signature line.
Had he heard it somewhere before?
While there was no law saying his father had to be the master of every slave, Si-woo felt a significant sense of disappointment and regret.
Pushing the disappointment aside, Si-woo began to quickly scan the contents of Teacher Yoo Ye-na’s contract.
The clauses written there didn't seem much different from what he had seen in Aunt Gyu-ri’s contract.
The only difference from Aunt Gyu-ri’s was that there were no separate lease contracts or photographs proving a lease at the back.
Si-woo picked up his smartphone and adjusted the focus so that the photo and name on the first page of Teacher Yoo Ye-na’s Slave Contract were clearly captured on the screen.
Click! Click! Click!
He then proceeded to turn the pages one by one, photographing the contents of her contract with his smartphone camera.
Did Cheol-jin know that Teacher Yoo Ye-na was a slave?
Cheol-jin had seemed to know the true identities of the moms they met at the police station beforehand.
He also seemed to know in advance that the hyungs at the blind date were planning to secretly give the noonas stimulants and have sex with them.
Cheol-jin had spoken to Si-woo with an air of relaxed arrogance, as if the moms gathering at the police station had been part of a plan all along.
It felt like Cheol-jin knew many things that Si-woo didn't.
Even before Si-woo had realized the truth about the moms' pasts, Cheol-jin had been interested in and investigating the magic academy Se-young would be attending.
To be precise, he was investigating Teacher Yoo Ye-na...
Later, Cheol-jin also seemed to have realized that Seul-gi was his half-sibling.
How would Cheol-jin react if Si-woo showed him Teacher Yoo Ye-na’s Slave Contract?
Would he mock Si-woo, acting superior and asking if he was only just finding out something Cheol-jin had known for ages?
Suddenly, an image flashed through Si-woo's mind: Teacher Yoo Ye-na on all fours wearing a dog collar, and Cheol-jin looking down at Si-woo with contempt while holding her leash.
If it was Cheol-jin, wouldn't he be capable of doing that regardless of the actual master-slave relationship or the contents of the contract?
A sudden tightness gripped his chest, a mix of rising arousal and unpleasantness.
Si-woo shook his head vigorously from side to side, as if trying to brush off the foul mood.

After saving the photos of Teacher Yoo Ye-na’s Slave Contract, Si-woo moved on to find the contracts for his mom and Aunt Seon-ju.
He checked the approximate location of his mom's Slave Contract from the list on the very first page.
The list wasn't organized alphabetically.
Was it organized in the order they became slaves?
With a sense of anticipation, Si-woo opened the very first Slave Contract in the binder to examine it.
As he turned to the first page, a photo of a woman who looked somewhat familiar caught his eye.
Unlike the other slaves whose photos were from their youth, this was a photo of a middle-aged woman.
She looked to be around his mom's current age.
She was definitely someone Si-woo didn't know.
However, her appearance was captivating enough to rival his mother, Na Seon-mi.
The name written on the contract was 'Shin Ju-hee.'
Si-woo checked the master's signature on the Slave Contract.
The name 'Yoo Jin-seong'—his father's name—was written there.
Was the person his father signed his first Slave Contract with his mistress?
Perhaps he no longer had the energy to be shocked by his father's newly discovered partners; Si-woo looked back and forth between his father's name and the woman's photo with a dry, hollow expression.
* * *
Even though no one was watching, Si-woo felt a sense of urgency.
He flipped through the Slave Contracts to find those belonging to his mom and Aunt Seon-ju.
After flipping through many pages, his mom's Slave Contract finally appeared.
A photo of his mom in her youth was pinned prominently to the front of the contract.
The mom in the photo looked to be about the same age as Si-woo or Se-hee Noona.
In the slave signature line, the name 'Na Seon-mi' was clearly written in his mother's handwriting.
The master was, as expected, his father, 'Yoo Jin-seong.'
Though he had expected it, Si-woo felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
If his mom had been leased to other men, or if she had been creampied and ended up with an extramarital pregnancy...
Just the thought of it made his heart feel so heavy he could hardly bear it.
With a turbulent heart, Si-woo turned the pages filled with the rules that the master and slave had to follow.
After a few pages, he reached the final page of the Slave Contract and the pledge.
Fortunately, he couldn't find any separate lease documents in his mom's Slave Contract either.
Si-woo swept a hand over his chest, feeling relieved once more.
Immediately following was Aunt Seon-ju’s contract.
The photo of Aunt Seon-ju on the first page of the contract also showed her in her youth, looking no older than Si-woo or Se-hee Noona.
He could see glimpses of Su-a’s face in Aunt Seon-ju’s features.
The master's name was likewise 'Yoo Jin-seong.'
There were no lease documents in Aunt Seon-ju’s Slave Contract either.
Si-woo turned the pages of his mom's and Aunt Seon-ju’s Slave Contracts one by one, laying them out and taking photos with his smartphone.
Click! Click! Click!
He felt as if he were collecting evidence at a crime scene as he recorded everything on his phone.

The purple binder contained about thirty Slave Contracts.
The Slave Ledger was mostly filled with people he had encountered at some point or faces that looked familiar.
Si-woo saved the list from the first page and the first page of each Slave Contract, including the photos and signatures, onto his phone.
He closed the purple binder and put it back in the drawer.
Next, Si-woo picked up the black binder beside it to check its contents.
Inside the black binder were various documents and accounting records that were difficult for Si-woo to decipher.
They were documents filled with lists of names, places, and numbers.
Si-woo looked through the documents for a bit, but finding it a headache, he closed the binder and tossed it back into the drawer.
After putting away the black binder, Si-woo reached for the grey binder.
He picked it up and spread it open.
Inside, every page was filled with laminated photos, organized like an album.
There were obscene photos of slaves tangled together, playing with their master.
And separate from those were what looked like family photos.
They were portraits of happy families that included slaves.
Had they even collected things like this into an album?
He saw many familiar faces in the album.
Most were acquaintances or people he had crossed paths with.
According to the terms of the contracts, the daughters of slaves also inherited their status and became slaves.
There were surely people like his mom who lived while keeping their slave status a secret from their families...
And there were surely women who had entered into master-slave relationships with men other than their husbands.
Si-woo’s heart began to race as he imagined a woman secretly handing over a photo of the daughter she had given birth to, as if offering her to her master behind her family's back.
Surely, there would be a photo of Si-woo’s family in here too.
Si-woo flipped through the photos one by one, checking the faces of the slaves and their families mentioned in the contracts.
"Huh?"
Si-woo’s hand stopped as he came across a certain photo while flipping through the album.
It was a family photo of his father.
To be precise, it was a family photo from his father's youth.
There were people who appeared to be his father's parents—his grandfather and grandmother.
And a female student who looked like his father's younger sister.
These were members of his father's family that Si-woo hadn't known about.
In the happy family photo, the face of the middle-aged woman who appeared to be the mother looked familiar.
It was the same face he had just seen in the photo of the very first Slave Contract.
Furthermore, the face of the female student who looked like his father's younger sister in the photo bore a striking resemblance to the young Teacher Yoo Ye-na from the Slave Contract.
