Surprise Movie Date
At Hayoung's command to sit, Minseo glanced nervously at her face and hesitantly lowered himself onto the chair. She's not mad, is she...? He'd seen her angry a few times before, but he didn't think the Hayoung speaking so gently now was upset... Still, no one could know for sure. She could snap at any moment.
"Who helped you out?"
Hayoung stared into Minseo's eyes with a soft smile as she asked. The meaning behind that question—who'd put in a good word for him...?
"...Uh... well... I went looking for Suhyun, but she wasn't there..."
Minseo trailed off, fumbling for words. Hayoung hadn't explicitly told him to go to Suhyun, but... he was terrified she might get mad if he'd asked someone else.
But Hayoung burst out laughing—pfft—dispelling Minseo's fears. "I know. Suhyun was out on an errand then."
Out on an errand...? Minseo's head spun.
......
Hayoung knew everything. That Suhyun was out, leaving no one to help him. That he'd have no choice but to beg the maids. It was all in the palm of her hand.
Minseo felt resentful... spiteful toward her.
"So... you're resenting me?"
Hayoung said it flatly, as if peering right into his heart.
"......Yeah......"
Silence stretched for a few seconds after the word slipped out.
Fuck... I'm screwed...
Minseo's instincts screamed. He'd messed up big time. Ah... no comfortable sleep tonight... That wasn't what he'd meant to say—it had just spilled out unconsciously.
"H-Hayoung... Master! That's not... I didn't mean it like that...!!"
Minseo panicked, flailing in shock as he watched her reaction.
But Hayoung just wore a meaningful smile, chuckling softly. Seeing that only made Minseo more uneasy. If she'd just say something... Her silent smile as she watched him was sending chills down his spine.
"I'm sorry... Master...!!"
Minseo dropped to his knees on the floor, trembling as he begged for forgiveness.
Smooth—Hayoung, who'd been watching him quietly, slowly rose from her seat. She bent down, meeting the eyes of Minseo, whose gaze shook with anxiety.
"Minseo."
Her voice was soft and gentle.
"...Yes..."
"You're my slave. You know that, right?"
"......Y-Yes......"
Minseo's voice quavered faintly in response.
"You can't break without my permission. Got it?"
"...Yes... Master..."
Minseo wasn't sure what she meant, but he answered obediently without question.
"You like movies?"
".......Huh?"
Hayoung's sudden, out-of-left-field question left Minseo flustered. What...? She's not mad...? He slowly scanned her face. Her expression was still sharp and cold... but not angry.
Answer first, at least.
"Yes... I like them..."
"Then get dressed quick. We're going to the movies."
Hayoung flashed a bright smile, leaving Minseo dumbfounded.
"N-No punishment...?"
His wide, innocent eyes stared up at her, and Hayoung couldn't stop the laughter bubbling up. Ah... he really is cute.
Suddenly, she felt grateful he'd been a spy in the organization. If not, she never could have made him her slave. I wonder if he'd freak out if he knew I was thinking this. That'd be cute too.
"Get dressed before I change my mind about the punishment."
At her words, Minseo bolted up and dashed to his room.
"Pfft—"
Lately, everything Minseo did struck Hayoung as adorable.
Her sudden decision to go to the movies wasn't complicated. Minseo had seemed worn out since the incident with Jiha... and as her slave, it was her responsibility to manage him. If he broke, it'd be her fault.
She'd planned to cheer him up soon, and today seemed perfect for a movie. She'd remembered Chaeryeong mentioning he liked them... and he hadn't gone out much lately, so this was a good chance. It was like a rest day. A slave pushed too hard would shatter.
She'd intended to go easy on him today, but midday urges had overwhelmed her, and she'd tormented him fiercely anyway. Should've held back a bit. But that innocent face makes me want to tease him nonstop...
Anyway, let's plan what to do today. Might as well make his rest thorough.
The car carrying Hayoung and Minseo sped down the road.
Ah... fuck... is this really happening...?
Ignoring whatever was on Hayoung's mind, Minseo felt nothing but anxiety in the passenger seat. His first outing hadn't left a good impression—vibrator at the restaurant... stifled moans in the park as she toyed with him... The memories made this trip terrifying.
Am I getting it at the theater today...? Minseo bit his lip, already worrying about what she'd do.
Isn't this punishment enough?
His fears snowballed until Hayoung spoke up, watching him.
"Worried you'll get something naughty like last time?"
She wore a sly expression as her hand stroked his thigh.
"Hng...!"
Minseo squeezed his eyes shut. Here it comes...
Seeing his subtle thigh tremble, Hayoung chuckled cutely. "Don't worry. Nothing like that today."
She pinched his cheek lightly and whispered affectionately in his ear.
The ticklish sensation made Minseo flinch and crack his eyes open. "Really...?"
He stared at her in surprise. What...? For real...? Why's Hayoung so sweet today? Is this a setup for something weird? A trap...?
His mind raced with suspicions, but he couldn't read her intentions no matter how hard he tried.
"Of course. When have I ever broken a promise? Relax and have fun."
For the first time, Minseo saw a halo of light behind her—like an angel.
Something good happen today?
Either way, he felt somewhat relieved. Deeper thought confirmed it: no reason for her to lie just to torment him. She could do that anytime without pretense.
"Thank you, Master!"
Overjoyed at the sudden freedom—limited as it was—Minseo hugged her tightly. An outing without torment was happiness enough.
"Show me some more aegyo. Might give you something even better."
Hayoung smiled pleasantly, stroking the head buried in her arms.
"Aegyo...?"
Minseo looked up at her, then softly pecked her plump lips against her soft cheek. Mwah.
......
Hayoung blinked in slight surprise at the kiss, her heart skipping—just a tiny bit.
"Like this...?"
Minseo smiled shyly, cheeks flushing.
"Nope. Can't hold back—you're mine now."
Hayoung wrapped her arms around his waist possessively.
"Haa... I-I'm sorry...!!"
Minseo flailed in panic, trying to escape her embrace.
Laughing and playing around after so long, Minseo and Hayoung felt noticeably closer than before.
Whoa... close call, almost got fucked again... Minseo steadied his heart, regretting the aegyo that nearly backfired. She told me to do it first...
"Kang Minseo. What do you wanna watch?"
Hayoung stood at the kiosk, asking him now that they'd arrived at the theater.
"What're you—"
As Minseo casually started to reply, the nearby couple's stares hit him at "Master," making him freeze mid-sentence.
Hayoung shot them a glare. "It's our pet name. Problem?"
Her cold expression and arm around Minseo's waist intimidated them. "N-No..." They stammered and fled.
"You pick the movie."
"Okay..."
Minseo thought her protectiveness was kinda cool as he quickly scanned the options—glancing at her face but secretly choosing what he wanted to see.
