Chapter Title: The Deception Unravels
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lee Seon-ji had been feeling a strange sensation in a corner of her heart for the past few days.
“Then, before things went down, were you on the sports team, Seon-ji?”
“…Yeah.”
“That’s impressive. And your body’s so delicate.”
“Are you crazy? You think I’m delicate?”
“Well, you’ve never once beaten me whenever we’ve done it.”
Lee Seon-ji shot Park Sung-hoon a glare of protest at his teasing words, but he didn’t mind at all and just grinned innocently.
She wasn’t truly upset either, so she soon dropped her glare and turned her head away.
Chatting about such trivial things with Park Sung-hoon had somehow become part of her daily routine.
In the mornings after waking up and washing, during meals or right after eating.
Or before or after sex.
The two of them laughed, teased, got annoyed, and enjoyed their conversations.
At first, Park Sung-hoon had been wary of her, but after repeatedly being intimate, he started treating her more casually.
Now, he looked at Lee Seon-ji with affectionate eyes, as if he found her endearing.
‘…Am I delicate?’
With her face buried in her knees and her head turned, Lee Seon-ji felt her cheeks flush without realizing it.
It was the first time a man had called her delicate.
The time he’d called her cute—that had been a first too.
Sometimes his teasing got on her nerves.
But the warm gaze in Park Sung-hoon’s eyes as he smiled at her made a corner of her heart tingle strangely.
It wasn’t a bad feeling.
‘Men are trash, but….’
For some reason, talking with Park Sung-hoon didn’t feel unpleasant.
Was it just because he was a decent person?
Just as he treated her comfortably, Lee Seon-ji was gradually starting to feel at ease around him too.
Slchurp, slchurp.
“Haa, Seon-ji… Feels so good. Your insides are clenching so tight….”
“Hnngh, ahh…!”
Before she knew it, sex where they hit each other’s most pleasurable spots was so stimulating it left her mind blank.
Surrounded by his warm heat, getting pounded by his hot cock, she even thought it’d be fine if this went on forever.
As a result, she—who’d initially found sex with him unpleasant—
“Haa, hng…! Nn, haa….”
Had started naturally letting out coquettish moans like a woman who wanted to be loved.
And without thinking, she kissed Park Sung-hoon’s cheek as he eagerly moved his hips.
Then.
“Mmm…. Chup, haa, chup….”
Unlike Park Sung-hoon, she melted her brain in a frenzy with sweet kisses, blending their hearts.
“Haa, Seon-ji… I’m gonna cum today too. Deep inside…!”
“Ah, no, you idiot…! You cum so much inside…! Aang…!”
And as if it were the most natural thing, Park Sung-hoon hugged her tight and shot his load straight into her pussy.
Spurrrt━!
“Haaaaahhh━!♥”
Even Lee Seon-ji, who’d tried to stop the creampie, soon locked her legs around Park Sung-hoon’s waist as he thrust deep.
Her body trembled at the sensation of semen filling her womb, mouth agape, tongue lolling out.
The thrilling, hot sensation that felt like it could become a habit.
Along with a fulfillment she’d never felt before, her feelings toward Park Sung-hoon began to change bit by bit.
Maybe that’s why.
“…When we get out of here.”
“…Huh?”
Lee Seon-ji cautiously brought up a topic she never would have mentioned before.
After their intense session, lying on the mat in his arms, she took his hand and spoke.
“My group’s at L Hotel. Wanna… go there together?”
Her original plan had been to part ways cleanly with Park Sung-hoon once they escaped.
Once they left this prison-like place, they’d have no need to help each other anymore.
Everyone fend for themselves.
But in just a few days, her mind had completely changed.
“If I talk to them, they’ll definitely accept you.”
Lee Seon-ji was scared of how Park Sung-hoon would respond.
That’s why she asked more timidly than her usual confident self.
Park Sung-hoon, looking at her like that,
“Yeah, let’s definitely escape together and head there.”
Whispered the answer she wanted into her ear with a gentle smile.
Staring blankly at his warm gaze, Lee Seon-ji shyly smiled without realizing it and leaned back against his chest.
‘Good.’
She’d almost cried if he’d refused.
Was it because the cult leader’s blessing had faded and her body weakened?
She, who was usually far from tears, felt strangely emotional.
Relieved, Lee Seon-ji closed her eyes again in his warm embrace.
“But Seon-ji, haven’t you been getting a bit sloppy with your acting lately?”
“Huh?”
“It feels like you haven’t been making those disgusted faces when Lee Seo-ho comes to watch recently.”
“Th-that’s…!”
He was right; lately, when she got immersed in sex, she forgot Lee Seo-ho was watching and moaned wildly, surrendering to his cock.
As a result, she wasn’t putting on the pained expressions for show as planned.
“It’s… because you keep relentlessly targeting my sensitive spots….”
Since the cause was that sex with Park Sung-hoon felt too good,
Lee Seon-ji blushed and hung her head.
“Still, if this keeps up, Lee Seo-ho might catch on. Should we switch things up a bit?”
“…Switch up?”
“Yeah, we were just acting before, but now maybe make it a little painful….”
“You into that kinda thing?”
“N-no! It’s just to help with the acting! We need to buy time to find an escape chance!”
“…Hmm.”
A little painful.
Pain wasn’t much of an issue for Lee Seon-ji.
With her mental fortitude that endured torture, sex-inflicted pain was nothing.
‘And besides, …with him.’
She even thought that pain from him during sex with Park Sung-hoon might feel good.
Burying her face in his chest, Lee Seon-ji carefully nodded.
“Alright, then let’s set a signal.”
“A signal?”
“Yeah, in case it really hurts too much—what if we set one for ‘really hurts’ and one for ‘not hurting’? That way?”
“Hmm…. But can we even signal each other in the middle of that?”
“Like winking. Left eye for hurts, right eye for okay. How’s that?”
“What kinda thing is that.”
Lee Seon-ji giggled at Park Sung-hoon’s suggestion.
She liked this quirky side hidden in his serious demeanor.
Always considerate of her, sometimes innocently childlike.
“Instead of thinking up stuff like that, figure out our escape plan properly.”
“I’m working hard on that too.”
Like that, Lee Seon-ji smiled brightly in his arms.
Even as she smiled, Lee Seon-ji felt the irony.
More than when she’d searched for survivors under the cult leader, earning recognition,
More than the peaceful days before the zombie outbreak, eating delicious food safely,
She felt happier now, embraced in Park Sung-hoon’s arms in this prison-like department store.
‘Let’s escape soon….’
Wearing a happy smile warmed by his embrace, she
Realized a little later
That this happiness was exactly what Lee Seo-ho had wanted.
“This is getting boring.”
“…Hnngh, wh-what?”
Lee Seo-ho, who’d come as usual to watch Lee Seon-ji suffer as she got fucked by the man.
At his signal, Park Sung-hoon began ravaging her like a rape as always.
Lee Seon-ji matched him, acting out the agonized expression to satisfy Lee Seo-ho.
Up to that point, it was no different from usual.
But in the midst of Park Sung-hoon tormenting her fiercely,
Lee Seo-ho, yawning, said that.
“Hey, stop. Pull out.”
Then he stood from his seat and approached the lying Lee Seon-ji.
He squatted down, matching her eye level.
“You think I don’t know you’re acting?”
Lee Seo-ho smirked mockingly as he spoke.
“…What?”
“You think I left you two here for a week just to watch a real rape show?”
“What are you….”
“Exactly….”
Unable to comprehend, Lee Seon-ji stared blankly with wide eyes, and he answered coldly.
“All that fun time with him? I ordered it.”
The shocking story she heard so suddenly.
“….”
“He treated you so well, right? That was on my orders too.”
Lee Seon-ji couldn’t comprehend the words that reached her ears.
“Why do you think I did that?”
Lee Seo-ho laughed pityingly at her.
She couldn’t respond.
Then Lee Seo-ho whispered in her ear with a snicker.
“So you’d fall hard for him and spill everything like a dumbass.”
With those words from Lee Seo-ho, Lee Seon-ji felt the puzzles in her mind click together as she froze blankly.
She had sensed something off.
Why Park Sung-hoon treated her so well.
At first, she’d harbored suspicions deep down.
But as they spent more enjoyable times laughing together, she started denying those suspicions herself.
At Lee Seo-ho’s words confirming her suspicions were right, Lee Seon-ji tremblingly turned to look at him behind her.
In her shaking vision from the shock, she saw Park Sung-hoon kneeling, his face filled with guilt toward her.
“…Is it true?”
Park Sung-hoon didn’t answer her question.
Instead, Lee Seo-ho, who’d watched everything, stood and walked toward Park Sung-hoon.
“It’s true, unless it was a lie? Hey, answer. Which is it?”
He sat beside the naked, kneeling Park Sung-hoon and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Then Park Sung-hoon, head bowed and grinding his teeth, cautiously spoke.
“I-I’m sorry, Seon-ji.”
With his decisive final words, Lee Seon-ji felt the blood drain from her head.
Her face fallen in despair,
A expression she’d never shown once since arriving here—Lee Seo-ho laughed delightedly at it.
‘I didn’t know and….’
She’d innocently told Park Sung-hoon her comrades’ location.
L Hotel.
Just knowing that, Lee Seo-ho could easily approach and gather all sorts of info.
Because she’d rashly trusted Park Sung-hoon.
The cult leader was now in danger.
“Well, now let’s hear what you’ve got.”
Having savored Lee Seon-ji’s despairing expression to his content, Lee Seo-ho smiled satisfactorily and turned to Park Sung-hoon.
“So? What’d the bitch say? Spill everything you heard.”
“….”
“What’re you doing? Don’t you wanna live comfortably? Like a human?”
Lee Seon-ji, head bowed and shoulders trembling from the betrayal toward Park Sung-hoon.
But she sensed something strange in the atmosphere.
Cautiously lifting her face, she looked at Park Sung-hoon being questioned by Lee Seo-ho.
Their eyes met.
He gave her a slight smile mixed with guilt.
‘Why… isn’t he talking?’
Park Sung-hoon clearly wasn’t spilling the info he’d heard from her.
As she questioned his actions,
He slowly opened his mouth.
“I-I’m sorry… She didn’t open up easily. …I didn’t hear anything.”
“…What?”
An answer she hadn’t expected.
Park Sung-hoon, whom she thought had extracted info from her via the deal with Lee Seo-ho,
Was lying with his head bowed tremblingly.
‘Why….’
Lee Seon-ji stared at him with an incomprehensible expression.
He’d definitely heard about the hotel from her.
Plus, they’d chatted about all sorts of minor details.
Yet he was acting terrified and saying nothing.
Lee Seo-ho hadn’t anticipated this reaction either,
As his smiling face hardened, he glared coldly at Park Sung-hoon and stood.
“Yeah? Didn’t hear anything?”
Then he moved to a nearby table, picked up a wooden chair with both hands.
“You think I’m a fucking idiot?!”
Thwack━!
“Gahak!!”
He began brutally beating the seated Park Sung-hoon with the chair.
“I gave you a whole week and you heard nothing?! Bullshit, I can see you two acting! Does that make sense?!”
“Ugh, khek, s-sorry…. Keok…!”
Park Sung-hoon curled up on the floor clutching his head, but Lee Seo-ho mercilessly brought the chair down.
‘Why won’t he talk….’
Lee Seon-ji couldn’t understand Park Sung-hoon’s actions.
He, who’d stabbed her in the back to extract and sell her info,
Was just taking the beating without handing over the info he’d clearly heard.
Thwack━!!
“Kuugh…!!”
Before long, Park Sung-hoon bled from his head, groaning.
Without thinking, Lee Seon-ji reached out toward the beaten man.
“W-wait…!!”
Her hand extended to somehow stop the battering Lee Seo-ho.
But she couldn’t finish her words.
Because the curled-up Park Sung-hoon was looking at her.
Even mid-beating, eyes wide open staring at her, he subtly shook his head.
Don’t stop it.
‘…Why.’
And out of Lee Seo-ho’s sight, he flashed a small smile.
Then secretly winked his right eye once.
At that gesture, Lee Seon-ji’s trembling stopped, and the past week with him flashed through her mind.
It started unpleasant, but over time she opened her heart, happier than ever.
Even if it was all staged by Lee Seo-ho’s orders.
Park Sung-hoon’s acting had turned genuine toward her.
The warmth she felt from him might’ve been fake at first.
But at the end, it wasn’t.
All the puzzle pieces fit perfectly in her confused mind, realizing Park Sung-hoon’s intent as he quietly took the hits—Lee Seon-ji
Tears flowed unwittingly.
Emotions surging, tears streamed down her chin, dripping to the floor.
“St-stop….”
And she barely let out a trembling voice.
Park Sung-hoon still getting hit with the chair.
Hand outstretched to him, who answered nothing for her sake.
She grabbed Lee Seo-ho’s pants as he beat him murderously.
“St-stop…!”
Lee Seo-ho, breathing roughly mid-swing, glared coldly at Lee Seon-ji.
“What? Got something to say?”
“Th-that’s….”
“No? Then fuck off. I’m busy.”
She’d reached out instinctively to stop Lee Seo-ho, but hesitated.
She couldn’t stop Park Sung-hoon’s beating with her own strength.
And she knew what she had to do to halt Lee Seo-ho.
At that crossroads in her heart,
While she hesitated, Lee Seo-ho resumed smashing Park Sung-hoon with the chair.
“Wait…!! St-stop, please…!!”
Seeing him groan in pain again, Lee Seon-ji chose Park Sung-hoon without thinking.
The one who’d shown her an unprecedented warmth.
“Please…! I-I’ll talk…!”
She released Lee Seo-ho’s pants and placed both hands on the mat instead.
Burying her trembling head into the mat.
Tears dripping, she begged desperately.
“I’ll tell you everything…. Please stop….”
At her wretched sight, Lee Seo-ho smirked as he lowered the chair, looking down at Lee Seon-ji.
