"I think I won?"
"Yes.... Master."
Minji weakly admitted her defeat.
"What did we agree would happen if you lost?"
"...I decided to truly become Master's slave."
Minji hesitated, then spoke in a voice as quiet as an ant crawling.
"Yeah, well, as you said, a person's sincerity doesn't just change in an instant just because they decide it should."
"I'm not even asking for true sincerity; just try to make it look like you're sincere. I'll see how much effort you put into it."
"I will try. Master."
Perhaps because the hope of escaping this place had vanished, Minji's expression and tone were nothing short of despondent.
"It's meaningless if you only say it with words. You have to show it with actions."
She remembered the first time she had to do the nude Dogeza, and her face flushed red.
Back then, he had said, 'What's the point of just saying it? You have to apologize with your body,' and the situation felt similar to now.
"What... what should I do?"
Minji pondered for a moment, then asked about his intentions directly.
She didn't want to repeat things multiple times when she could finish it in one go, just like with the nude Dogeza.
"Are you telling me to make an effort instead of you?"
"N-no, that's not it... I just asked because I wanted to align with what you wanted, Master."
When Jihwan scolded her, she panicked and hurriedly made excuses.
"I'll leave the Laptop here. Look at the materials here, learn from them, and think about what kind of service you will provide to Master as a slave. I'll evaluate what you've prepared once every day."
"Understood. Master."
'Haa~ Now I even have to worry about how to serve him every day?'
She had suffered all sorts of shame and humiliation so far, but she had only ever been on the receiving end. Minji had never proactively provided service to Jihwan herself.
Thinking about having to serve him like the slaves in the videos made her heart sink, and the future looked bleak.
"70 points or higher out of 100 is a pass. If you get 70 or higher, you get a Reward based on your score. If it's below 70, you get a Punishment. Simple, right?"
"Understood. Master."
Carrot and stick.
It was always Jihwan's way.
She was used to it by now.
"If there are any tools or outfits you need for your service, organize them and submit a list. If I have them, I'll give them to you right away; if not, I'll buy them for you."
"Yes, thank you. Master."
'Ha~ What do I do now....'
A sigh escaped her lips automatically.
Until now, it was all about being unilaterally toyed with and humiliated by Jihwan.
But now, it wasn't just about being on the receiving end.
To make matters worse, she had to proactively try to satisfy that filthy body of his, and the bleak reality felt utterly hopeless.
"I have some business today, so I'll be leaving early. Try thinking hard about it. I'll see how much effort you put into it with all your heart."
"I will try my best. Master."
Contrary to her answer, anger welled up inside Minji at Jihwan's mocking tone.
However, no matter how angry she was inside, there was nothing she could do.
Just suppressing her anger and answering without showing it. Unfortunately, that was the only countermeasure Minji could take.
"Goodbye, Master."
As Jihwan was about to leave the Basement, she knelt and bowed her head to greet him, now so naturally, as if it were a habit.
"Don't masturbate alone just because I didn't satisfy your desires today; stay quiet."
"Yes. Master."
Minji answered Jihwan's words while still bowing her head.
Only after Jihwan left the Basement and she heard the sound of the door closing could Minji finally lift her head.

It had been over a week since Minji was kidnapped.
When Minji first went missing, Taesu had been so distraught that he took leave and tried everything he could to find her.
However, reality did not let him wallow in despair forever.
There were almost no companies that would allow long-term leave just because one's girlfriend had been kidnapped.
For that reason, Taesu finished his week of leave and had no choice but to return to work.
On his way home after forcing himself to finish his backlog of work, unable to focus on anything.
He got into his car to head home, just like any other day.
"Ugh... wh...o... ugh."
As he got into the car and tried to start the engine, a man who had been crouching tightly on the floor of the back seat strangled him with a thick rope.
Caught off guard by the surprise attack, his carotid artery was compressed, and Taesu couldn't even put up a proper fight before he collapsed and passed out in less than 10 seconds.
It was the work of a professional.
The man who had hidden in the car and knocked Taesu out was a Joseonjok Hitman whom Jihwan had hired via the Dark Web.
He moved the unconscious Taesu to the back seat and completely bound his limbs.
He drove the car to an abandoned warehouse located in a secluded spot in Gyeonggi-do.
It was the place Jihwan had agreed upon in advance.
Upon arriving at the abandoned warehouse, he bound Taesu's limbs once more to ensure he couldn't escape and put a mask over his face to block his vision.
Unless someone came to this warehouse and untied him, he would never be able to get out on his own.
Having perfectly completed his mission, he even took photos of the scene and reported them to Jihwan, the client.
After Jihwan received the report and confirmed it, he gave his approval, and the hitman left Taesu alone in the warehouse.
"You son of a bitch, long time no see."
After confirming that the hitman had completely left, Jihwan came to the warehouse to pick up Taesu.
Since there were no CCTV cameras on the road leading to the warehouse, there was no evidence that Taesu's car or Jihwan's car had ever been there.
He would swap cars here and kidnap Taesu again.
This way, kidnapping Taesu would effectively be a perfect crime.
Unless there was a witness who saw this abandoned warehouse.
The request was made anonymously via the Dark Web, and the payment was made in Cryptocurrency.
Before the police could even begin their investigation, the Joseonjok who kidnapped Taesu would leave Korea and return to China.
Even if the Joseonjok were caught by the police, they wouldn't know who the client was, so Jihwan's identity would never be exposed.
It was the same method used when kidnapping Minji.
Seeing as the police hadn't even been able to properly track Minji's whereabouts, Taesu's case didn't seem any different.
"Ugh, ugh... wh, what! Fuck, what the hell did you do to me! Untie me right now, untie me, you fucking asshole!"
Taesu woke up from his unconscious state while Jihwan was moving him.
Although his limbs were tightly and perfectly bound, Taesu, whose physique rivaled an athlete's, struggled so much that it was impossible to move him.
"You crazy bastard, your temper is still the same. Just go to sleep."
Jihwan left Taesu like that, went back to his car, took out an anesthetic, and injected him.
"Aargh! You, who are you. What the hell are you doing to me!"
Whether the injection was effective or not, Taesu's movements, which had been thrashing wildly, gradually slowed down and soon stopped completely.
Jihwan put Taesu in the trunk of his car and headed to the Villa he owned, where Minji was imprisoned.
The Villa Jihwan had built for his revenge.
It was so secluded that it was hard for people to find unless they were determined to look for it.
Even if someone happened to pass by and find it, the walls were high, so it was designed to make it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Inside those high walls, there was a wide yard of about 200 pyeong and a three-story Villa, including the Basement where Minji was trapped.
"Fuck, he's disgustingly heavy."
Jihwan arrived at the Villa and carried him into the house.
He didn't intend to let him meet Minji right away, so he locked him up separately in a solitary room on the first floor, not the Basement.

Minji was left alone in the Basement after Jihwan left.
'It really doesn't work.'
She had tried connecting to the internet with the Laptop Jihwan left behind, just in case, and tried to see if she could catch a Wi-Fi signal, but of course, it didn't work.
'Is this really my preference?'
For the service she would provide to Jihwan tomorrow, she was looking through the materials on the Laptop, and as she watched them, she found herself getting hot and aroused.
For the past week, her erogenous zones had been stimulated for at least 10 hours every day, so Minji's erogenous zones were developed and sensitive to a degree incomparable to before the kidnapping.
'Has my orientation changed? Or did I just discover a preference I didn't know I had?'
Even now, having lost the wager, her mind still thought she didn't have this kind of preference, but that thought was gradually crumbling.
'Haa~ I really hate this so much.'
The fact that she had to perform this kind of 'sexual service' for a bug-like bastard like Kim Jihwan was worse than death.
Having been raped by Jihwan for a week and experiencing climax dozens of times.
Minji's body had been tamed to feel pleasure from Jihwan's body, but her mind still loathed Jihwan.
'If I'm going to do it, I have to do it properly.'
However, she had made a bet with Jihwan and promised to do her best, and she had no choice but to work hard to avoid Corporal punishment.
Moreover, considering that she would have to continue living in this Basement, there were many items she needed.
She had to satisfy Jihwan, get 70 points or more to avoid Corporal punishment, and get the items necessary for her daily life as a Reward.
'There are many things I want to eat, too.'
There were days when she couldn't eat at all since coming here, and even when she did, it was always the same salad, fruit, post, or milk.
Being stressed while not even being able to eat properly, she thought of so many foods she wanted to eat when she was alone or before going to sleep.
The only way to eat the food she wanted was to listen to Jihwan and receive it as a Reward.
'Because I don't want to receive Corporal punishment.'
'Because I need to get necessary items as a Reward.'
'Because I lost the wager.'
And so on, she rationalized her shameful behavior by giving it justification for various reasons.
But compared to the first day of her kidnapping, Minji's behavior had certainly been tamed by Jihwan and had changed a lot.
