The Disparity Between Lee Ah-young and Lee Ji-yeon
“How about this one?”
“...I’ll try this one on as well...”
“Hmm... But I must say, I’m quite taken with what you’re wearing right now.”
Kang Ju-hyeok wore a satisfied smile. Before him stood a beautiful woman dressing with a blank expression. Ah-young’s already lovely features now shone like starlight. Her snow-white skin, delicate and perfect features, and the exquisite figure outlined by her clothes—everything about her was so breathtaking that even the word perfect felt insufficient. She wore no makeup at all... yet she could still look this beautiful?
Since her abduction, the only garments Ah-young had been permitted were prisoner uniforms, tiny crop tops, hospital gowns, and pajamas. For the vast majority of her time, she had been forced to remain completely naked. She had lived in constant shame, every intimate part of her body exposed. But now, Ah-young was neatly dressed in elegant clothes—a modest black skirt that fell to her knees, a crisp shirt, and a tailored jacket. Wearing an outfit that perfectly complemented her, she looked... impossibly beautiful. Simply by being properly clothed, her natural beauty radiated even more brilliantly.
Ah-young stood before the mirror, gazing at her reflection. In the glass, she could also see Kang Ju-hyeok behind her, arms crossed, watching. She liked what she saw—very much. She turned this way and that, savoring the sight of herself. It felt like looking at the old Lee Ah-young. Memories of her once-perfect life floated through her mind, and for a moment, her spirits lifted.
Only minutes ago she had been naked, shaking her breasts for his amusement... and now she was wearing proper clothes.
“Then we’ll go with this outfit,” Kang Ju-hyeok said with a gentle smile.
Ah-young returned a faint smile of her own, answering him with her expression.
“Yes, thank you...”
...He said we were going to see Lee Ji-yeon. So why is he treating me like this?
Moments earlier, Ah-young had been forced to stand naked, screaming that she was livestock, thrusting her anus and then her vagina toward him like a desperate animal begging for praise. Yet suddenly... this?
“We’re going to watch our lovely Lee Ji-yeon’s performance. Shouldn’t you look beautiful as well, Ah-young?”
“Performance... sir?”
“Yes. When attending the theater, it’s only proper to dress nicely.”
Theater...?
Questions swirled in Ah-young’s mind, but she voiced none of them. She could only guess that this would be something like the humiliating performance she herself had been forced to give. Kang Ju-hyeok had said he would make Lee Ji-yeon participate in that “special research” in her place. But with that thing attached to her clitoris... could she really appear before ordinary people? Surely everyone would notice something was terribly wrong.
“Right then, Lee Ah-young. Let’s be on our way. Let’s go see the wicked woman who used to torment you.”
Kang Ju-hyeok’s eyes curved into a pleasant smile. She could not begin to imagine what was coming. Still pondering her questions about Lee Ji-yeon, Ah-young followed him.
—Screeeech!
Clunk!
Click, click, click.
In the first-floor lobby, Ah-young—beautifully dressed—and Kang Ju-hyeok sat on a sofa. The main entrance doors opened, and two men in black suits walked in. The sound of their dress shoes echoed through the lobby as they approached.
“Good afternoon, sir! We are always grateful for Chairman Kang’s hard work!”
The two men bowed at ninety degrees, greeting Kang Ju-hyeok. He remained seated and gave a casual wave in acknowledgment.
“Report.”
The men glanced briefly at Ah-young sitting beside him. Their gazes were strange. Was it because of her beauty? Or did they know who she really was?
Ah-young’s self-esteem, bolstered by wearing proper clothes, had risen considerably. She squared her shoulders with confidence.
“Ah! We have completed the asset liquidation of the woman named Lee Ji-yeon as instructed. We leaked information to the press that she fled overseas with her entire fortune, and the police have agreed to close the case, classifying her as a missing person.”
Listening to the men in suits, Ah-young’s eyes trembled. The words spilling from their mouths were so absurd they bordered on the miraculous.
What...? That’s possible? They... made a deal with the police?
“I see. Well done. As for Lee Ji-yeon’s assets, use them for the legal team’s dinner parties, entertainment expenses, or divide them precisely among yourselves—whatever you wish. I trust you’ll put them to good use.”
“Y-yes! Yes! Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!”
The men bowed at ninety degrees once more, repeatedly expressing their gratitude. Kang Ju-hyeok ignored their groveling and rose from his seat.
Swish... Grab!
“Hic!”
As he stood, Kang Ju-hyeok gently took Ah-young’s hand. Her heart nearly stopped, but she did not pull away.
He... took my hand?
Ah-young’s delicate, snow-white hand tightened around his just a little more. Dark skin and pale skin clasped together. They weren’t interlacing fingers like lovers, but the simple sensation of their hands touching was entirely new to her.
It was unbelievable. The man who had once said she should offer her pussy and ass instead of her head was now holding her hand. It felt strange. Why was he doing this?
...His hand feels... strong...
She didn’t understand why Kang Ju-hyeok had taken her hand, but when the devil held it, the feeling wasn’t entirely unpleasant. Still holding her hand, he began walking without a word. The two men followed behind.
Their destination was the basement. The place had become somewhat familiar to her now—the same basement where Ah-young had received the clitoris massage and fainted, and where Lee Ji-yeon had suffered.
The four of them walked toward the basement.
Screeeeech!
When the ominous door opened, the first person Ah-young saw was Lee Ji-yeon. The two young men who had once called her “Big Sis” while abusing her were also present. She hadn’t expected them to be here.
“Big Sis Ah-young!”
“Hey! It’s not just Big Sis—”
“Huk!”
The “young men” who had greeted her cheerfully froze the moment they saw Kang Ju-hyeok. They had been maintaining their usual high energy when they saw Ah-young earlier, but the instant Kang Ju-hyeok appeared, their behavior became quiet and subdued. They watched his every move nervously.
“Hng... hng...”
And then Ah-young’s eyes fell on the miserable naked woman.
A single person lay collapsed, letting out pained sounds, her pale body completely exposed. Her bruised breasts were on full display, her pussy spread open. The most wretched sight of all was her clitoris. A long black metal chain hung from between her spread legs.
The horrible accessory attached to her clitoris was still dangling from Lee Ji-yeon.
“Huu... ngh... huuuu...”
Face pressed to the floor, Lee Ji-yeon wept pathetically. Seven people were in the basement, yet only she was left naked and miserable.
“C-Chairman, sir! Hello! A-as ordered, we only spanked her ass!”
The “young men” stammered their report to Kang Ju-hyeok. Without a word, he sat down in the comfortable chair he always used. Ah-young’s chair remained beside it. Still gripping his hand, she naturally took her seat as well. Even after they were seated side by side, Kang Ju-hyeok did not release her hand.
Lee Ah-young and Kang Ju-hyeok sat together. Four men stood. Everyone in the room stared at the naked Lee Ji-yeon. Collapsed and pathetically exposing her body, she looked like a monkey on display at a zoo.
“Show us her ass.”
“Yes! Understood!”
The two young men quickly approached the collapsed Lee Ji-yeon. Their strides were still cocky. They grabbed her arms and shoulders, lifting her up. She hung limply like a lifeless doll. Her body rose as easily as lifting a light object. Tears streamed down her face and moans escaped her lips, yet her body showed no resistance.
Her mental state was clearly not normal.
Once they had pulled her upright, the men turned her so that her ass faced Kang Ju-hyeok. Dozens of bright red welts from a switch covered her buttocks.
How many times had they hit her...? Or rather, why had they hit her at all? She had already paid more than enough for her sins. Simply having that thing attached to her clitoris was already an unimaginably horrible punishment.
“We only punished her ass, sir. We didn’t touch anywhere else...”
The man stammered his report. Kang Ju-hyeok nodded. Lee Ji-yeon’s bruised breasts still showed no sign of recovery. Between her helplessly dangling legs hung the cruel accessory. Her clitoris stretched downward, a black metal chain swinging from it, connected to a weight resting on the floor. It was still hard to believe that the pathetic, dangling body part between her legs was actually a clitoris. Could there be any woman in the world more wretched than this?
Ah-young watched the upright Lee Ji-yeon. Her own hand began to tremble. Sensing it, Kang Ju-hyeok squeezed her hand more firmly.
Why... is he doing this? This man... Why is he being kind to me again?
“...Good. Well done. Then administer the awakening agent. We need to begin the performance.”
Kang Ju-hyeok let out a small chuckle. The awakening agent was the drug Ah-young had received during her clitoris massage—the one that forcibly restored a shattered mind to perfect clarity. She didn’t know its side effects, but it instantly brought complete lucidity. She knew all too well how cruel it was to receive that drug in a situation like this. It forced the victim to face an oncoming abyss of despair with crystal-clear consciousness.
“Y-yes!”
One of the cocky young men rushed to a cabinet, retrieved a syringe, and returned. He showed the awakening agent to Kang Ju-hyeok.
“Then... I’ll administer the awakening agent!”
He immediately plunged the needle into the back of Lee Ji-yeon’s neck.
Thud!
“Ugh!”
Lee Ji-yeon’s mind had already been completely destroyed. While Ah-young had been resting her sore ass in her room, Lee Ji-yeon had endured countless punishments. It should have taken a long time for her broken mind to recover, but tragically, a single injection slowly restored her consciousness to perfect condition. Survival instinct had been numbing her reason, preventing her from facing reality—but this drug forcibly revived it.
“Haa... haa... haa...”
Focus gradually returned to Lee Ji-yeon’s eyes. Strength flowed back into her previously limp body, and she began to move.
“Ah... aah...”
With reason restored, Lee Ji-yeon assessed her situation—her own naked body, the people surrounding her. Everyone was staring at her.
“Kuuuugh! Huuuuuugh!”
Letting out a tormented groan, she covered her breasts with both arms. Instinctively trying to hide her body, she curled up even tighter. When she drew her legs together, the metal chain attached to her pussy caught on her foot.
Clank!
Lee Ji-yeon stared at the chain. Her gaze followed it until it stopped at her grotesquely elongated clitoris.
“Kuhup!”
Her pupils shook violently. The firm metallic sensation against her clitoris remained exactly as it was. Because of the awakening agent, the light in her eyes had returned with painful clarity. But the look of utter despair on her face had not changed at all.
“Lee Ji-yeon. From now on, I will explain what your future life will be like.”
Kang Ju-hyeok looked at her as he spoke. Lee Ji-yeon’s eyes fell on Ah-young and Kang Ju-hyeok’s clasped hands. Her expression of despair deepened into something even more profound.
“Ah... ah... You and Ah-young... are holding hands...? I see... Haha... So that’s how it is...!”
Kang Ju-hyeok chuckled again. Ah-young was listening to Lee Ji-yeon’s voice as well.
She thinks Kang Ju-hyeok and I are dating because we’re holding hands...
Kang Ju-hyeok gestured to the men in suits. At his signal, the two members of the “legal team” stepped forward toward Lee Ji-yeon.
“Ahem. Listen carefully, Lee Ji-yeon.”
The man in the suit who approached her began to speak. In her despairing mental state, Lee Ji-yeon had no desire to hear any of it, but with her body now fully functional, every single word hammered itself into her ears.
“Lee Ji-yeon, born XXXX, XX, XX. Age twenty-seven. Graduated from Korea University Nursing School, former nurse at AK Hospital.”
The man recited her personal information without pause. Lee Ji-yeon stared at him with trembling eyes. Every detail was perfectly accurate. Her arms still desperately covered her breasts. Her curled posture revealed the last remnants of a woman who still wanted to preserve some dignity.
The man continued, pouring out detailed information—her home address, phone number, everything. Lee Ji-yeon’s trembling grew more violent.
“H-how... all of it...”
“All of your assets, Lee Ji-yeon, have been transferred to our organization. Everything you owned has been seized. Nothing you once possessed remains in this world.”
“Eh?”
“Furthermore, you are currently wanted publicly as a serial killer, and the media has already reported that you are an inhuman, heinous criminal.”
“Haa... haa... haa...”
Lee Ji-yeon’s face began to rot from within.
“M-my... assets have been s-seized...? What... what are you saying...?”
“Exactly what it sounds like. It’s difficult to explain everything right now, but as you live out the rest of your life, you will naturally come to understand that every word I’ve spoken is true.”
“H-how is that possible? I’m right here! How is that possible?! How—?!”
Lee Ji-yeon screamed. It was nearly a wail. Her expression of despair shifted moment by moment. She reacted as if she couldn’t believe it, yet her entire body shook violently with the realization that it might be true. The thought that her life might genuinely be over struck her with horrifying clarity.
“Haa... haa... No, it’s all lies... I’m just... just...”
“It seems you’re not yet ready to listen to the explanation. In that case, we’ll continue later...”
Lee Ji-yeon desperately tried to ignore the man’s words and looked at Ah-young. Her final hope was—
“Ah! Ah-young! Ah-young! H-haa... I-I’m sorry! P-please!”
Lee Ji-yeon’s naked body lunged toward Ah-young. The weight attached to her “accessory” bounced off the floor, flew into the air, then crashed back down.
Clang!
“Kuuuuuuugh!”
She let out a scream of agony. In that instant, she had pulled the weight to its limit using only the strength of her clitoris. The sudden stretching brought sharp pain. Both hands flew to her pussy as she frantically rubbed her clitoris, trying to ease the torment.
“Ughk, ughk... It hurts... it hurts...”
Then she looked at Ah-young again.
“Please forgive me just once! Please! I was wrong! From now on I’ll never have those bad thoughts again! Pleeaaase! Forgive me! I’ll beg like this!”
Lee Ji-yeon fell to her knees before Ah-young. Because of the accessory attached to her clitoris, she had to spread her legs slightly even while kneeling—an awkward, humiliating posture. Being completely naked made her look even more pitiful than words could describe.
“Please! Please! Please! Hwaaaaaang! P-please! This is too much, it’s too cruel! Please! Ask your boyfriend beside you to forgive me just once! Tell him! Please! I’m begging you!”
“Lee Ji-yeon...”
“Yes, yes! Ah-young! Ah-young! I really, truly did wrong! I’ll beg like this! Please, please!”
Lee Ji-yeon clasped her hands together, desperately pleading toward Ah-young. Her tear-soaked eyes were filled with despair. The “devil Lee Ji-yeon” that Ah-young had once known seemed to no longer exist in this world. The true devil was the man currently holding her hand. Lee Ji-yeon had been completely devoured.
And no matter what Lee Ji-yeon thought Ah-young was... begging her would be meaningless.
“...Do I look like someone who can do anything for you?”
“Eh?”
Ah-young looked down at the kneeling Lee Ji-yeon with eyes full of pity.
I’m just a pitiful woman, no different from you...
Their eyes met. Lee Ji-yeon’s tear-filled pupils quivered violently.
“Aaaaaaaaaah! I-I’ll do anything! Anything at all—!”
“B-Big Sis Ji-yeon, w-why are you suddenly like this...”
Grab!
Lee Ji-yeon, who had crawled right up to Ah-young’s chair, was lifted by her shoulder. The men dragged her back to her original position.
“Let go! Let go! I was begging Ah-young for forgiveness!”
Lee Ji-yeon was pulled backward again. Her naked limbs flailed in the air as she was dragged. The weight attached to her clitoris scraped across the floor behind her.
“Kyyyyyaaaaaaaagh!”
Rrrrrrrrrrr!
The weight scraped along the floor, stretching her clitoris once more. She screamed in pain again. The sight of the weight being dragged by her clitoris was visible to everyone.
Watching this, Ah-young spoke.
“...Lee Ji-yeon. Let me give you one piece of advice.”
Ah-young took a deep breath. In truth, Kang Ju-hyeok had been staring at her openly for some time. He was still firmly holding her hand. The sensation wasn’t bad. It felt... hopeful.
I want to look good... I want to look good in front of Kang Ju-hyeok...
Lee Ji-yeon looked utterly wretched. Deep down, Ah-young truly pitied her. The sight of her clitoris being dragged along by the weight in real time was too pitiful, too miserable. As a fellow woman, she couldn’t help but feel compassion.
To be honest... you look so... pitiful, Ji-yeon...
Removing that accessory was probably impossible. If Lee Ji-yeon somehow escaped Kang Ju-hyeok and returned to society, there might be a way—surgery or some other method. But Kang Ju-hyeok would never simply release her. That meant Lee Ji-yeon would have to live the rest of her life with that weight hanging from her clitoris.
The best thing for Lee Ji-yeon now was to obey. To submit completely and try to please Kang Ju-hyeok. Just like Ah-young’s own situation, she had to flatter him, obey absolutely. If she did that, perhaps one day he might remove the accessory.
“Lee Ji-yeon, just accept it. If you had submitted and obeyed from the beginning, it wouldn’t have come to this.”
Ah-young spoke from the heart. But to the current Lee Ji-yeon, it was nothing more than a meaningless phrase filled with despair.
“N-no! My life is over! What do you mean, accept it?! Uwaaaaaaaaaagh! Save me! Please! Ah-youuuuuung!”
Pathetic, vulgar screams continued. Ah-young no longer answered. Revealing everything hidden in her heart might put her in danger. She would say nothing more.
Kang Ju-hyeok gently released Ah-young’s hand. Then he lightly stroked the back of it.
...He stroked it?
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Kang Ju-hyeok clapped as he rose from his seat. The entire room fell silent.
“Lee Ji-yeon! Then let’s try this instead!”
The smile on Kang Ju-hyeok’s lips grew significantly wider. Lee Ji-yeon trembled as she looked at him.
“From now on, imitate a gorilla!”
At those words, Lee Ji-yeon’s face froze instantly.
“T-that! Suddenly... what...”
“Make it as realistic as possible. Act like a real gorilla with all your effort! Everyone, let’s watch ‘Gorilla Ji-yeon’s’ performance together! When you’re ready, let us know!”
After Kang Ju-hyeok’s words, complete silence fell over the room. Lee Ji-yeon’s trembling face showed she could not comprehend what she had just heard. The two men holding her released their grip. In the center of the room, collapsed and sitting, Lee Ji-yeon was watched by everyone.
