Subjugation on Broadcast (27)

After sending Yu-rim away in the slave exchange, Su-hyun's heart burned itself hollow with worry.

He trusted Ahn Jin-woo — of course he did — but that didn't mean he could entirely ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠silence the fear crouched in one corner of his ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠mind.

It had already been six hours since Dong-hyun and Yu-rim had gone into that room, and they still had not come out. The soundproofing was so absolute that there was no way of knowing what was happening inside, and so, gnawed by anxiety, he found himself hovering outside the door of Room 8.

Just then the door opened, and Han Gyeo-wool and Jeong Min-ju stepped out.

"What are you doing here?"

Gyeo-wool's question made Lee Su-hyun jump as if he'd been caught peeking.

"Ah... I... well... Yu-rim went in there, and I... I was just worried..."

He stammered, flustered beyond words.

"Ah, Yu-rim? She's doing just fine in there. We've been so busy throwing a welcome party for her joining the team that we haven't had a second to breathe."

"Oh... is that so? Then could you maybe call her out for a moment?"

"We're actually on our way to grab the food for the party. How about you see her tomorrow instead?"

"Haha... yeah, maybe...? All right."

Faced with Gyeo-wool's refusal, Su-hyun had no choice but to turn and walk away.

At that very moment, Yu-rim was still being toyed with by Dong-hyun's cock. She looked thoroughly broken — and yet, strangely, no message had appeared, so the conquest was still underway. Which meant Yu-rim's present state was utterly wretched. Not just the inside of her pussy — her face, her breasts, her entire body was slathered thick with Dong-hyun's cum. Her mind was all but gone; she could only gasp out moans, but they were in no position to let anyone see that.

Once Gyeo-wool watched Su-hyun leave, she finally let out a breath of relief. Even she had to admit Dong-hyun was putting Yu-rim through the wringer, but both she and Min-ju figured there had to be some meaning behind it.

They went to the cafeteria, packed enough food for eight, and headed back to the room. What they found inside was Yu-rim collapsed as if she'd passed out, and Dong-hyun looking thoroughly spent. He had been having sex and emptying himself without rest, and even he was worn down.

Haa... haa... Why won't she submit? Looking at her now, she seems more than broken enough...

Over six straight hours of sex, Yu-rim had become a creature that chased nothing but ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠pleasure. Every time Dong-hyun drove his cock into her, cries of ecstasy spilled out of her, and when it was over she would suck him as if he tasted delicious. But the System never announced that she had submitted, so he knew it was not a complete conquest.

Time kept flowing, and before they knew it, the two days of free time Joker had granted them were over.

"Huu... huu..."

He had driven Lee Yu-rim to the brink over those two days, but he simply could not make her submit. In the end the two days ran out, and the broadcast calling everyone to the Main Hall came on.

Since every participant had to go, he told Lee Yu-rim to wash up, get ready, and come out. She went without a shred of resistance, docile as a lamb. Anyone who didn't know better would have sworn she had truly submitted. If only the System didn't exist.

Once Lee Yu-rim finished washing and came out, Dong-hyun's entire team headed outside. Sure enough, Lee Su-hyun was waiting — and at last, Su-hyun was able to see Yu-rim.

"Yu-rim. Are you okay?"

Su-hyun came forward, took her hand, and asked. The moment he did, Yu-rim flinched as if startled, looking as though she might burst into tears at any second. Dong-hyun moved to intervene, but Yu-rim spoke first.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Nothing happened."

Unexpectedly, Yu-rim lied to Su-hyun that she was all right. In truth it had been brutally hard — she simply didn't let it show.

"What... happened over those two days...?"

"I... wasn't feeling well, so I was resting. Getting betrayed by my teammates must have hit me harder than I thought..."

Yu-rim delivered the lie with a calm, even voice and talked Su-hyun into believing it. It was a fairly convincing story, and he bought it. If anything, he looked even more guilty.

"Ah... I see... I'm sorry..."

It was a remark that drove straight into Su-hyun's sorest spot, and he had no choice but to apologize.

I'm sorry... Su-hyun... I can't go to you anymore... I've been... too defiled...

Yu-rim thought of what she had become and pushed Su-hyun away because of it. But deep in her heart, she still clung to the hope that he would become the winner and come rescue her like a prince on a white horse. That was why, even at the last possible moment, she had been able to hold out against Dong-hyun's subjugation.

Dong-hyun had been about to step in, but seeing Yu-rim handle it so naturally, he let it be. She looked at him and spoke with a bright, fresh smile.

"We should go, Dong-hyun. We'll be late."

Inside that room she had called him Master and made every animal sound he'd ordered of her, enduring humiliation after humiliation — but now she acted as if none of it had ever happened.

"Yeah. Let's go."

Yu-rim slipped her arm through Dong-hyun's, and they headed naturally toward the Main Hall. Su-hyun was so rattled he didn't even notice that the collar was still fastened around Yu-rim's neck.

Once everyone had gathered in the Main Hall, Joker climbed back onto the stage.

"At last!! Only four teams remain. The semifinals will begin shortly! I truly cannot wait to see who makes it to the finals!!"

Joker was bubbling over with excitement. This season's ratings and sponsorship money had poured in far more heavily than any other season, and the profits were excellent. The female contestants being beautiful certainly helped — but Ahn Jin-woo's process of breaking one woman after another had the donation money exploding. Hearts practically sparkled in Joker's eyes whenever he looked at Dong-hyun.

"Now then, allow me to explain the next game. The next game is called Human Chess! Please look at the screen!"

The screen displayed the rules of the next game.

On the television screen, footage played alongside the text to help illustrate the rules. Each team would have to organize its members carefully — deciding whether to force intelligence games or physical ones.

"That completes the explanation. Yoon Jin-ju's team and Ahn Jin-woo's team, please proceed to the room on the left. Seon Woo-hyun's team and Lee Su-hyun's team, please proceed to the room on the right. We wish you an enjoyable game."

Following the staff's guidance, every participant moved to the game rooms.

"You will now have approximately thirty minutes to assign numbers to your teammates and decide how to position them. Team leaders, please consult with your members and submit your arrangements."

At the staff member's words, both teams moved to separate rooms.

"Gyeo-wool. How should we organize the team?"

Dong-hyun consulted Gyeo-wool first. He had already judged her the smartest person among them.

"The most important thing here is that numbers 1 through 3 will never face a physical match, no matter what number they run into. So Yu-rim and I need to be placed up front. As for physical ability, I think Min-ju unni, Won-seon unni, and Master are the only ones who really have it. Plus Min-ju unni is former special forces, so she's a good shot — she should take the sensory games as much as possible, too."

Gyeo-wool rattled the rules off as if she had them memorized, speaking on the spot.

"Hmm... right. Then where should I go?"

"Master's physical ability is so outstanding I don't think you'd lose even if you ran into the other side. And you came in first at color memorization, too — so it might actually be best if you take a mid-range number and participate in every type of game."

Gyeo-wool's reasoning was thoroughly convincing. After the two of them talked it through, every teammate's number was decided.
