12. Hypnosis App
After jerking off, my mind felt calm. Like a sage, I lay on the bed and thought it over again. Sleep started creeping in.
Should I just crash?
'Wait a sec.'
Right as I was drifting off, one fact popped into my head. Apostles can't defy their constellation's commands. And Eun-byeol was my apostle.
So, when I asked for her number, maybe it counted as a command, and that's why she gave it to me?
'Hmm, not total bullshit.'
The only hitch was that constellation powers only worked in my room... but the 'constellation-apostle relationship' itself wasn't a power, so it seemed plausible enough.
'Gotta test it.'
I grinned, sorting through my rising ideas. Felt like all kinds of fun shit was about to go down.
"Heh heh heh. My dick's already twitching."
After snagging her number last time, I'd swung by the convenience store to run some experiments. Told her to lift her foot or bend her finger while pretending to order stuff.
And yeah, my hunch was spot on. Eun-byeol couldn't resist my commands. Even if she didn't know I was her constellation, we were bound by contract. Her body followed my orders, no matter what her mind said.
'Lucky me.'
Once I knew that, I cooked up some plans. After two days of brainstorming, one slick scheme was born. Time to test it today.
"What's with the mask?"
"Busy today—head out first."
"Aight."
After class, I shooed Kim Hyun-do away. Slapped on a mask and sunglasses, then headed to the natural sciences building.
Natural Sciences Hall 2, Room 203. I hustled and got there before class ended. Parked outside, waiting.
Spent about ten minutes sniping simp comments in the anonymous forum for fun. Then class wrapped.
I reverse-shark-jumped the stampede out the door and slipped inside.
'There she is.'
Eun-byeol was up front, packing her notes and textbook into her bag. Looked like she'd actually studied.
I approached slow. The diligent type, she waited till everyone else bailed before finishing up.
"Hey."
"Yes?"
She glanced over when I spoke. No friendliness, but whatever. Might've felt bad if she was.
"I've got this assignment—need to run a survey. Mind taking a look?"
"I'm busy."
"C'mon, just glance and tell me what you think."
She eyed me like some cult recruiter and tried to bail. I blocked her path, pulled out my phone, and fired up the app I'd prepped.
Hypnosis App 1.1V
- The hypnosis app from Hitomi! Use it as much as you want! (Includes paid ads)
Grabbed it from Google Play. Hypnosis app my ass—just a dizzy spiral screen, no real power. Total garbage loaded with ads.
But that was fine. All about the vibe.
I shoved the screen in Eun-byeol's face. Her brows furrowed at the rainbow spiral whirl.
"Nice work. I'm out."
She tried to brush past. Cute.
"Freeze!"
"Eek?! W-what?!"
"Uh-huh-ha-ha. Works like a charm, huh?"
She froze mid-step out the door. Just like that.
Jackpot!
Had a sliver of doubt till the end, but it nailed it. As my apostle, she couldn't defy her constellation.
Alright, next phase. My dick was already stirring.
Freaked by her sudden lockdown, Eun-byeol's eyes went wide. She tried to scream.
I closed in slow.
"What the— what're you doing to me?!"
"Quiet, Yui. Nah, Eun-byeol."
"Mmph?!"
Clamped her mouth next. No more yelling.
"Heh heh heh, too many eyes here. Let's move. You don't wanna make a scene either, right?"
"Mmph! Mmph!!"
"Follow me. Act natural—no bitching."
Her face chilled to normal. She fell in behind, trailing me like it was nothing. No one would've clocked she was compelled.
Where to... somewhere comfy.
Heh heh, that spot'll do.
Was gonna drag her to the bathroom, but changed plans. Led her off campus.
"!!"
Her pupils blew wide when she saw where. Yeah—I'd brought her home. Her home.
"Heh heh heh, let's go in. Open the door."
"…."
Her shaky fingers punched the code. I hauled her inside.
Spot-on from my Diorama peeps. Sweet scent hit right away—girl's room vibes, makeup maybe? Nice.
Plopped on the bed. Snapped my fingers to release her bind.
"Heh heh, move freely now."
"Die!!"
"Huh?"
Free, she lunged. Snatched a broom off the wall and swung wild.
Invisible force shimmered on it. Slash (F) power locked on my neck.
"Whoa shit!!"
Thwack!
Instinct—arms up. Stung my wrist, but no blood, no break. Thanks to Harden (E) from last time.
Skill looked like thug-beater trash, but damn effective.
'Close call.'
Broom or not, that skill would've lopped my arm clean off barehanded. Spine-tingling.
"Die!!"
"Freeze!"
"Hngh... Why... won't my body..."
"Whew, that was dicey. Gonna go feral on me?"
She reared for another swing. I barked 'freeze' quick. Locked solid, against her will.
Glared murder—turns out Eun-byeol had some fire.
Time to tame her.
"From now on, no rebelling or attacking me. Got it?"
"Bullshit...!!"
"Heh heh heh, don't need you to get it. Your body does. Move free again."
She thawed. Swung the broom right away. I flinched hard.
"Eek... Pfft, heh heh, knew it."
"Why..."
But it never connected. She could only wind up—couldn't follow through. Command etched in deep.
"Heh heh heh, curious?"
She looked wronged. I leered closer. She spun to bolt.
"Nuh-uh, no running. No screaming."
No chance. Words outpace feet.
"Flee all you want—useless. You're under my hypnosis."
"Hyp...nosis?"
"Yeah. That app I showed? One look, and you're my slave. Heh heh heh. Obey my every word."
Total lie. App was some troll's joke. Real bind? Our apostle contract.
But couldn't spill that. She had to farm me SP as my apostle. If she clocked I was her constellation, SP flow might tank.
Hence, the hypnosis app fib. Hid my identity while explaining body control.
Even if busted, commands could fix it—like 'execute my Kakao orders faithfully.' But nah, too much hassle. Plus...
'This is way more fun.'
Also, raising Eun-byeol had its kicks. Didn't want my constellation rep trashed. 'Observer of Fate' stays her rock-solid backer.
Better for her that way. Or not—whatever.
"Bullshit... Who'd buy that?"
"Heh heh, don't. Won't break the hypnosis."
Now then... what first?
"Strip."
