Chapter 18

Before Jihwan gathered the tools to punish Minji, he first took care of some pending business.
He sent messages to Taesu's company and acquaintances via his messenger.
He made it look like he was going off the grid because his mental state had shattered due to his girlfriend's kidnapping case.
Since turning on the phone would allow for location tracking, he naturally sent them via PC, not the phone.
Using a PC allowed him to bypass the IP through multiple proxies, making tracking virtually impossible.
Naturally, a huge number of replies came in, but he couldn't deal with them one by one.
So, he just roughly wrote "Going off the grid" in his status message and ignored them.
With just this much, there probably wouldn't be anyone who would go as far as filing a missing person report just because they couldn't reach him.
"Well, even if they did report it, there's no way I'd get caught."
Even if someone reported it and an investigation began, Jihwan thought the chance of him getting caught was zero.
Even so, he went to these lengths because, for his plan to proceed as he wanted, a missing person investigation for Taesu could not be filed.
After roughly finishing the tasks that needed to be done first, he gathered the tools to punish Minji and went back down to the basement.
"Hello, Master."
As Jihwan entered the basement, Minji knelt and greeted him.
Her body, kneeling with her head bowed, trembled uncontrollably with fear.
Because she knew the reason Jihwan had come back down was to administer corporal punishment to her.
"Inspection pose."
"Yes, Master."
Sensing the grim atmosphere, Minji quickly stood up at his command and took off her clothes.
She spread her legs and raised her hands behind her head, assuming the inspection pose.
He approached Minji and tucked her hair behind her ears.
As his cold hand lightly touched her ear, Minji shuddered with a creepy feeling and fear.
"You got your ears pierced? Why did you do that?"
"Th-that, to look pretty?"
Minji pondered the intent behind the sudden question, but decided to answer first.
"Your ears are pretty on their own, so why did you bother piercing them?"
"It's just a bit plain without anything, and it's prettier with them, so I did it."
She still hadn't grasped why he was asking this, but she answered quickly to avoid displeasing him.
"Is that so? Then this won't be a punishment for Minji, but a reward."
"Yes? What..."
Minji wasn't yet sure what he was going to do, but she got an incredibly ominous feeling from his tone.
"I'm going to make your breasts and pussy prettier, Minji. Just like your ears. They're pretty now, but they're too plain."
Only then did Minji fully realize what he intended to do.
She instinctively took a step back in fear.
"N-no, absolutely not. Please, Master. I'll be an obedient slave from now on. Please, just let me off this once. Okay?"
Knowing how terrifying it would be, she knelt, declared herself a slave, and begged and begged.
"Why are you like this? I'm saying I'll make your plain breasts and pussy prettier; women like getting prettier, don't they? Isn't that right? Isn't that why you got your ears pierced?"
His playful smile and tone came across to Minji not as a joke, but as terror.
'N-no. This is really not okay.'
Just getting her ears pierced had hurt.
But she dared not even imagine how much it would hurt to get piercings in her nipples and pussy, where all her nerves were concentrated.
Especially since it wasn't a normal area.
Getting piercings in reproductive organs like her nipples and pussy was enough to cause her immense fear and revulsion.
"P-please. Master. I'll really try hard from now on. I'll do really well. I'd rather be beaten. Please..."
Minji grabbed his pant leg and begged while crying.
If a goddess like Minji were crying and begging like this, one might feel some sympathy.
He didn't feel even a shred of sympathy for her appearance.
Rather, the sight of Minji being afraid satisfied his sadism, bringing him even greater mental pleasure.
"You said you liked dressing up prettily, so I'm trying to give you a reward by decorating you, but what are you doing acting like this already? The real punishment is separate."
Jihwan's expression and tone as he said that were truly sinister.
"H-hic... sob... sob."
No matter how much she begged, he wouldn't listen, and hearing that there was a punishment worse than this made her turn pale with even greater fear.
"But, when did I say you could break your pose? Stop blubbering, and pose!"
"Yes... Master."
Seeing that begging wouldn't work, Minji resigned herself and resumed the pose.
She didn't know what other heinous corporal punishment he would add if she didn't listen.
Because he was a bastard capable of doing just that.
'A bastard with no blood or tears!'
In society, she didn't even need to beg like this; just asking was enough to get everything done...
Minji was truly trembling with rage at his cold and ruthless attitude.
"Don't worry too much. I'll apply anesthetic cream before doing it, so it won't hurt that much. If you had scored below 50 points, I was going to do it without anesthetic cream."
"......Understood, Master."
'H-it's okay. It'll be okay, Minji.'
Minji really, really didn't want to do it.
However, despairing at the fact that she had absolutely no means to refuse or resist.
She had no choice but to resign herself.
"Sit on the desk."
"Understood, Master."
Minji, having given up, followed the command with her mind half-gone.
Fearing she might resist or move significantly when he pierced her, Jihwan bound her arms and chest together so she couldn't move.
Next, Jihwan took out the tools needed for the piercing on the table.
First, he soaked cotton in alcohol and rubbed it on her nipples to disinfect them.
"Ugh..."
Minji trembled at the cold sensation of the alcohol on her nipples and the approaching terror.
"Now, I'll apply anesthetic cream so it doesn't hurt."
"Yes, Master..."
"Doesn't look like you like it much? Should I do it without applying it?"
"N-no. Master, I like it very much. Thank you. Master."
Startled by the mention of not applying the anesthetic cream, she shook her head and babbled incoherently.
Jihwan chuckled at her appearance and applied the anesthetic cream.
"How is it? Do you feel anything?"
"I feel it a little."
"It'll disappear completely after a little while."
The anesthetic cream was definitely effective.
Even though Jihwan was touching her nipples strongly, she could barely feel anything.
"How about now?"
"I really don't feel anything."
After some time passed, the effect was in full swing, and she felt nothing even when he touched her.
Minji was flustered that she felt nothing, but at the same time, she felt relieved.
Thanks to the effect of the anesthetic cream, she was somewhat relieved because at least the pain would likely be less than she had feared.
Of course, the revulsion and fear of getting her nipples pierced remained.
"It's more dangerous if you thrash around, so stay still."
"Yes, Master..."
He took out the piercing machine and prepared it.
She squeezed her eyes shut in terror.
Jihwan brought the machine to her nipple and operated it.
"Aagh!"
Minji, who had her eyes closed because she couldn't bear to watch, screamed at the intense pain she felt in her nipple.
Since it was anesthetic cream and not an injection, it couldn't completely block the pain.
'Still, this is bearable...'
Thanks to the anesthetic cream, it was definitely not a level of pain she couldn't endure.
She didn't yet know that the real pain would come after the anesthesia wore off.
Before it was pierced, she had only been filled with fear, not knowing when it would happen.
But now that it was actually pierced, the fear had actually subsided a bit, and she even felt a sense of relief.
"I'm piercing the other side too."
"Yes, Master."
The pain was less than she thought, but she couldn't bear to watch her nipple being pierced, so she squeezed her eyes shut this time too.
Since the piercing process itself wasn't very difficult, Jihwan immediately pierced the other side in the same way.
"Ugh..."
"There, nipples are done."
Perhaps because she was prepared for the level of pain this time, her scream was a bit quieter.
Jihwan attached D-ring shaped piercings to the nipples he had pierced.
On both ends of the 'ㅡ' shaped bar were red jewels.
The laid-down 'D' shaped ring part was made of a thin chain, and a small diamond hung in the center.
It looked as if she were wearing a small necklace on her nipples.
'Truly a work of art.'
With the jewelry added to her already pretty breasts, they looked like a true masterpiece.
"How is it, Minji? Your breasts, decorated so prettily? Like you said, they were too plain, so a necklace. Ah, no, since it's hanging on your nipples, should I call it a nipple-lace?"
"Anyway, I decorated them prettily, so how is it?"
Jihwan smirked and ridiculed her pierced nipples.
'It's so vulgar...'
Even whores or porn stars wouldn't wear something like this.
Her own appearance with jewels dangling under her nipples felt so vulgar.
"I decorated you prettily, but you're not thanking me again."
"Thank you for decorating me, Master."
Minji snapped to her senses at Jihwan's words and hurriedly offered thanks.
She had been so ashamed of her vulgar appearance that she had forgotten to answer.
Far from being grateful, she wanted to kill him, but she was afraid that if she showed it, she would receive a punishment worse than this.
The reality that she had to obey him despite being subjected to such humiliation weighed heavily on her heart.
"If you had scored below 50 points, I would have done your clitoris too. Since it's 60 points, I'll end it with just the nipples today."
"Thank you, Master."
Feeling relieved that she didn't have to get her clitoris pierced, she felt truly grateful this time.
It was so humiliating and painful just having it done to her nipples; she really didn't even want to imagine it for her clitoris.
Jihwan had deliberately left the clitoris unpierced.
That way, Minji would fear punishment more and work harder to avoid receiving it.
"That was the 'reward' for decorating your breasts prettily, and now it's time to receive the real 'punishment'. Stand facing the wall."
Jihwan commanded her after releasing her restraints.
'Y-you crazy bastard...'
Minji was dumbfounded by his shamelessness in calling the breast piercing a 'reward'.
However, she couldn't even retort, fearing that a greater punishment would fall upon her.
"Yes... Master."
Unfortunately, just answering and following his command was her only option.
As Minji stood facing the wall according to his command.
He first tied Minji's hands behind her back.
And then, he connected the arm-length chain he had brought to the ring part of her nipple piercings.
"Ma, Master? Wh...what is the punishment?"
Feeling ominous as he connected the chain to the piercings, Minji's voice trembled.
"It's nothing special. Don't worry. 5 minutes per point, it's 10 points, so you just have to stand facing the wall for exactly 50 minutes."
"Yes, Master."
'If it really is just standing for 50 minutes, that would be a relief...'
While thinking it would be a relief if it were just standing for 50 minutes.
Based on her experience with Jihwan so far, she instinctively felt that it would absolutely not be just standing for 50 minutes.
"There, all done. Like I said, you just have to stand facing the wall for 50 minutes."
Jihwan connected the chain attached to the nipple piercings to a hook on the upper part of the wall.
Her breasts were pulled slightly by the chain, making them stand out completely.
"Yes... Master."
She answered with difficulty.
As Jihwan said, there is no problem if she just stands facing the wall.
However, if she bends her waist or legs even a little, the chain hanging above pulls and inflicts pain on her nipples.
He had installed the chain itself tautly with almost no slack, so it was the same if she moved even a little bit backward or sideways.
Standing for 50 minutes isn't hard, but standing without changing posture is absolutely not an easy task.
'Still, this is doable...'
Because she just has to stand straight for 50 minutes, not 5 hours.
Since it was still the beginning, Minji thought it would be easy.
Unaware that a hell where a mere 50 minutes would feel longer than 5 hours was waiting for her.
