Being Eroded
Being Eroded
"Seoyun-ah, I don't really intend to torment you."
Junwoo, who was cleaning up, suddenly said that.
Because Seoyun's words about why he was tormenting her kept nagging at his mind.
"Uhng..."
"If you just obey my words nicely, you won't get hurt, and we can all live happily."
"Yes, Master... I'll obey you quietly."
"Good. If you rebel like earlier... I'll let it slide today, but starting tomorrow, you'll get punished for real?"
"Yes, Master."
While Junwoo was tidying up, Seoyun sat obediently and watched his actions.
She thought maybe she should help with something, but instead, she got yelled at and shoved away.
"Have you ever seen a pet doing housework? Just think of yourself as an animal managed by me."
"Ah... Yes, Master."
He complained earlier about her not doing anything...
Seoyun, playing along with his whims, planted her butt on the sofa and waited obediently for Master.
"Huh?"
She had no idea what to do.
She couldn't judge what she was allowed to do.
Before she knew it, she found herself following Junwoo's orders and doing nothing without his permission.
"Why am I like this..."
Seoyun, eroded by fear and terror, was unknowingly harboring a sense of submission toward him.
She was sincerely accepting his words to become a pet without autonomy, repeatedly brainwashing herself.
Since she had always shown strong dependency on Junwoo, she fell into it easily.
"No, this isn't right..."
She was just going along with his antics for the moment.
Deep down, she wanted to escape at the first opportunity.
Shaking her head, Seoyun stood up and glanced toward the kitchen where she heard the sound of running water.
Junwoo, wearing rubber gloves, was humming a tune while doing the dishes.
Was now the chance to escape?
She'd worry about the consequences later.
Seoyun quietly got up from the sofa.
She looked for the clothes she'd taken off, but couldn't see where he'd hidden them.
"Huuu..."
Seoyun grabbed the leash clinging to her nape.
She tried to unbuckle it, but it wouldn't budge, like it was glued with bond.
"Why is it like this..."
Forcibly yanking it just scraped her skin and hurt.
After a few attempts, realizing it was impossible, she gave up.
Suddenly, the Small Room attached to the living room caught her eye.
"It's open..?"
There was no lock.
Did it mean he no longer needed to hide it since she'd been caught?
Seoyun cautiously grabbed the door handle and turned it.
The windowless room carried a musty smell like mold.
Shelves lined both walls, packed full of boxes of various sizes.
Inside the boxes were Ziploc Bags containing Seoyun's hair, nails, used and discarded tissues, and such.
It was an utterly repulsive collection that made her skin crawl just looking at it.
And in the dark room, a single blinking monitor.
The 16CH recorder was still capturing Junwoo's house and Seoyun's room.
There was a high probability he'd installed Hidden Cameras in the Officetel where they were living together too.
"Crazy bastard..."
Since when?
How long had this been going on?
Seoyun desperately wanted to smash the recorder right then, but she held back and checked for data.
If she managed to escape and get help from the police, she'd need clear evidence to back up her claims.
Opening the desk drawer where the monitor sat revealed external hard drives packed tightly into Styrofoam dividers.
First drawer, second drawer, third drawer—all full.
The fronts of the 1TB external hard drives had dates scribbled on Post-its, and there were over 100 of them.
The cost alone must have been no joke, storing data like this.
"Should I grab whatever?"
Excluding the dates, nothing else was labeled, so she had no idea what data was what.
Seoyun pulled out a few external hard drives haphazardly and picked up one with a recent date.
She planned to hide it where Junwoo wouldn't see and take it out later when the chance came...
"What? Were you curious about this?"
"Hik!"
Seoyun jumped in shock at Junwoo's voice approaching silently from behind and dropped the external hard drive.
Junwoo picked up the fallen drive nonchalantly and dusted it off.
"Hmm... This one's from yesterday?"
Just from the date, he recalled yesterday's memory and grinned broadly.
"You know what? I only back up and store the videos I want to remember. At first, I kept them on USBs, but the quality was so bad? So now I use external hard drives. By the way, yesterday I jerked off to a video of you too?"
"Ah, uhng..."
Seoyun grimaced at the unwanted TMI she never asked for.
What woman in the world would be thrilled to hear her secretly filmed videos were being used as jerk-off material?
"Yesterday's video shows you sitting on the toilet peeing, and sleeping with your legs spread defenselessly..."
"M-Master... You can stop now..."
"Yeah?"
Seoyun didn't want to react while hearing her humiliations itemized.
Junwoo shrugged it off and pulled out a few external hard drives from the stuffed drawer to show her.
"June 2nd... This one's you secretly masturbating in your room, July 14th is everyday footage of Seoyun's routine. August 1st is an edited compilation of you sitting on the toilet peeing all those times, October 22nd is your shower video."
"Eut..."
Junwoo could tell exactly what video was on which date—he was that insane.
Dildo masturbation footage, no less?
He'd been peeping on her entire life?
Seoyun felt so ashamed and pathetic for being such a naive fool all this time.
"What? Does it sound like bullshit? Your reaction's meh."
"N-No..."
"Want me to pull one out? How about this?"
The very bottom drawer, the very last spot: the first external hard drive.
It was footage of Seoyun secretly stifling her moans while masturbating with the Dildo in her room.
Junwoo's face spread into a smile, still unable to forget the emotions from back then.
"This is my favorite."
Seoyun lying there with her legs splayed wide like a slut, inserting the Dildo.
The way she thrust it deep to the end and twitched, pressing down hard on the base with her palm to stretch her hole, chasing pleasure with subtle back-and-forth pistoning.
So many turn-on points—he'd lost count of how many times he'd jerked off to it.
"We've got time, wanna watch it together before dinner?"
"N-No... Master... I'm fine."
"Why? Don't wanna? It's the day you first masturbated with a Dildo~ Don't you have fond memories?"
"I don't like it... Master..."
For a pet, she sure had strong opinions.
"Fine, whatever."
He couldn't force it if she said no.
Junwoo put the pulled-out external hard drive back in the drawer.
"But something feels off?"
"Uhng..?"
"Why'd you take it out? Not because you wanted to watch?"
"Ah, that..."
Seoyun panicked at Junwoo's probing question hitting her weak spot.
A do-or-die moment.
One slip of the tongue and it could lead to something irreversible.
"Suspicious. Were you gonna take it and report to the police or something?"
"N-No! No way... I'd never..."
"Right?"
"Yes, Master..! I just wanted to take it to watch alone later. I was curious what was on it..."
"I see."
Seoyun brushed it off with her lame excuse and a smile.
"Yeah? If so, fine."
"Yes, Master..."
Pretending to buy it, Junwoo closed the drawer and reached out to Seoyun.
He stroked her hair and lightly tugged the leash.
"But Seoyun-ah, I get wanting to watch, but..."
"Yes..."
"A pet shouldn't touch Master's stuff without permission, right?"
"Hiek..."
Junwoo created a menacing atmosphere with his low voice and suddenly grabbed her ass hard.
He squeezed her ass painfully, making Seoyun's terrified eyes widen round.
"I'm sorry! Sorry for touching without permission, Master..!"
"Right? First time, so I'll let it go. Tomorrow onward, punishment?"
"Yes, Master!"
Releasing his tight grip on her ass, Junwoo patted her head and chuckled.
"Don't freak out. Anyone'd think I was gonna kill you."
"Huek..."
Coming from the guy who'd tried to snap her neck earlier, it was zero percent believable.
"Come on."
"Auk..!"
Junwoo grabbed the leash and led her out to the living room.
He locked the latch on the Small Room so she couldn't enter again.
"No entry for now. Seoyun seems too ill-mannered. We'll hold off till she's trained?"
"Yes..."
Back on the sofa, Junwoo rubbed his lips with his hand, pondering what to do.
"Hmm... Nothing to do, huh?"
It was a house he'd only come back to on weekends after starting university.
Even that stopped after Seoyun got into the same college, turning it into a once-a-month visit spot.
All it had were basic kitchenware and a game console to kill time.
Anyway, tomorrow they'd head back to the Seoul Officetel, leaving it empty for a while.
"Wanna go shopping? We'll need a lot from now on."
"Yes, Master..."
Junwoo turned on his phone and browsed an online shopping mall with Seoyun.
Shopping was routine since they lived together as roommates—he periodically bought daily necessities and groceries.
But the category Junwoo entered this time was [Adult toys].
