The Fox Awakens in the Black Room
The darkness in her vision finally receded, and the world snapped into focus.
*Where… am I?*
Jeon Chayeon glanced around quickly.
She was in an unfamiliar room.
It looked like a studio apartment, but far too spacious for one. A faint sense of lived-in emptiness clung to the air despite the traces of someone’s presence.
A door stood to one side leading to the bathroom, and opposite it was a kitchen sink area. The surface beneath her felt strangely soft, and she realized she was lying on a bed.
Queen-sized, at least.
Her neck burned.
Chayeon shot upright in an instant, searching frantically.
Danger.
The collar was nowhere in sight.
*Creak—*
“You’re awake?”
Before she could even think, the door swung open and a figure stepped inside.
“Juh Jihyo, you damn—!”
“Eh, sit down.”
Before the words even landed, Chayeon’s body was yanked forward and slammed onto the mattress.
*Thud.*
Invisible force pinned her down as if she weighed nothing.
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing right now?”
“Of course. I know exactly. By the way, your mouth’s been filthy since the first time I saw you. Time to fix that habit.”
The snake-like eyes swept over her.
A chill crawled up her spine.
“And isn’t this humanitarian treatment? I didn’t hurt you at all. I just laid you down gently on the bed.”
“Fuck, you’re a kidnapper.”
While speaking, Chayeon’s eyes darted everywhere, scanning the room in panic.
“Ah, need me to find something?”
Juh Jihyo opened the closet and pulled out a long wooden object.
It was the collar she had brought with her.
“Hey, don’t touch other people’s things without permission.”
“That won’t work.”
*Clang—*
The collar rolled across the floor in front of Juh Jihyo’s foot with a clear metallic sound.
“You activate the ability with this, right? Turns you into a completely different person?”
Juh Jihyo let out a disgusting chuckle.
Only then did Chayeon realize how stupid she had been.
She had casually done pull-ups with a collar in her hand right in front of him.
She had literally exposed the condition and weakness of her own power.
“Hmm. Looks like an ordinary object. Is this thing special? Or is simply holding the collar the trigger?”
As if carrying an enormous weight, Juh Jihyo propped his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.
But before long he lifted his head.
“Well, either way, this needs to be broken.”
He brought his right foot down hard.
*Crunch—*
The collar, unable to withstand the pressure, shattered in two pieces and flew in opposite directions.
Even that wasn’t enough to satisfy him. Juh Jihyo kicked the broken fragments out the window.
“… ”
Chayeon watched helplessly as the last shred of hope vanished right before her eyes.
“Good. Now no more annoying things will happen.”
“You— what’s your goal?”
She glared at Juh Jihyo with the most vicious expression she could muster.
But Juh Jihyo only smirked at her face.
“Goal? That’s obvious, isn’t it?”
Juh Jihyo slowly walked toward the bed.
“I’m the type who takes whatever I want.”
“Ugh…”
“Why are you so defiant? I was going to handle this nicely.”
Juh Jihyo’s huge hand groped her body.
She struggled, but her hips pressed firmly against the mattress and her arms and legs were completely immobilized.
“Haah! You bastard, don’t let go!”
“You said you’re a man. But you’re a woman?”
Juh Jihyo’s hand slid deeper between her thighs without mercy.
She clenched her legs as hard as she could, but it did nothing.
The probing fingers kept pushing inward, rubbing the outside of her pants and making them twitch.
“Fuck! Tell me to get off!”
Chayeon screamed in a hoarse voice that cracked at the end.
The sound of her own voice made her shiver.
“You’re really cute. Did you do that on purpose?”
Juh Jihyo’s rough breathing filled her vision.
His eyes, swollen with lust, never left her face.
“You… fuck…”
Chayeon’s whole body trembled violently.
She wasn’t a lesbian.
She could easily imagine the worst fate awaiting her.
To be forced into sex with a man— even worse, a violent rape— while she was already a woman.
It would be better to bite her tongue and die.
“W-what the hell—”
“Wait?”
“Fuck, hey! What the hell are you doing, you bastard! Listen! Get up! I said get up!”
Chayeon called out desperately for **Hugu**.
She had always thought she would never need him in her life, yet every ounce of that promise had vanished now.
She was screaming his name like a drowning woman.
But there was still no answer.
“Hugu? What?”
When Chayeon called out to someone, Juh Jihyo, who had been tense, smiled like nothing had happened as time passed and approached her again.
“Boyfriend’s name? How cute.”
“Fuck… fuck…”
Her whole body convulsed as if in seizure.
Her nose stung.
This couldn’t be real.
Even if a gun were pressed to her head, she wouldn’t have trembled like this.
Yet why was her body shivering uncontrollably and her tear ducts swelling just from this?
Her mind couldn’t understand it, but her body reacted on its own.
“…Hic… huuh…”
In the end, tears she couldn’t hold back poured out.
Fuck. I don’t want to cry.
Like a child, the dam broke, and the tears wouldn’t stop.
“Huuu, hic.”
“Look at that. Already broken? You looked so tough, but you’re so fragile. Don’t cry, don’t cry. There.”
Juh Jihyo’s hand gently stroked Chayeon’s cheek.
“I’ll make you feel good soon.”
At those words, goosebumps raced from her toes to her scalp.
*Is this really happening?*
She gritted her teeth and prepared herself for the humiliation.
“Ah, but pinning me down like this is inconvenient. No life in it at all.”
It was then that Chayeon saw her chance.
She could run.
Tears had already fallen.
The biggest obstacle had been cleared without meaning to.
“…Hic, hic. At least… make me able to move… huuh…”
Chayeon said in a voice thick with sobs.
The wetness in her voice made it even thinner.
“Hm?” “I’ll do what you said… Please…”
“Are you begging? What kind of trick is this?”
Juh Jihyo’s warning only made her cry and snot even more.
Without even trying, her body— overwhelmed by terror— was already acting on its own.
“I… if I don’t have a sword, I can’t do anything. You saw it yourself. Even if I run, you’ll catch me instantly… So please… just let me move. If I have to do it anyway, then… rather than being forced, I… I’ll do it myself…”
Saying she could do nothing right now wasn’t a lie.
The moment the restraints were loosened, she had tried to run, but Juh Jihyo would simply use his power to catch her again.
Juh Jihyo stared intently at her eyes, trying to read her true intentions.
But seeing the same conclusion, he smirked and loosened his grip.
His hand slipped from the bed.
“What do you mean by ‘directly’? You’re going to do it yourself? I thought you were a virgin because you looked innocent and delicate, but I guess you’re more experienced?”
Her body moved freely.
She no longer felt the strong force holding her.
Yet Chayeon remained motionless on the spot.
Even if she tried to run, he would catch her in an instant.
“Well, fine. This isn’t bad either. Then let’s start by serving the obedient Chayeon.”
*Creak—*
The belt was unbuckled, and Juh Jihyo’s thing came into view.
Seeing a huge, erect male organ right in front of her face was more than she could bear.
That was exactly why people said “fuck” when they felt this disgusted.
It was literally fuck.
Chayeon’s eyes lost their light.
The desperate, pitiful gaze of a girl who had given up fighting and simply hoped this moment would pass.
“Open your mouth.”
A merciless, cold voice came from above.
Juh Jihyo’s large hand grabbed the back of her head and pulled her forward.
Chayeon opened her mouth.
The enormous thing touched her lips and pushed inside…
*Crack!*
With all her strength, she bit down hard.
You fucking bastard, tear apart!!!
“Aaaah!! This piece of shit!”
A massive shock slammed into her head.
Chayeon’s body flew backward from the slap across her cheek.
Even as she was hit, she kept her eyes closed.
Her strength was lacking, but her body’s instincts were sharper than anyone’s.
Using the rotational force from the impact, she launched herself upward on her tiptoes straight toward Juh Jihyo’s face.
Target: eyes.
*Thud.*
“AAAH!!!”
A soft, sunken sensation pressed against her big toe.
It felt like something had sunk deep, but only shallowly.
“Chet!”
She had failed to cut the dick and failed to crush the eyeball.
But she had bought enough time.
While Juh Jihyo was clutching his own eyes and groaning on the floor, she quickly opened the door and fled.
“Haah, haah!”
Her breathing was ragged from panic.
Looking around, it looked like an officetel.
Emergency stairs were at the end of the corridor.
Chayeon dashed as fast as she could.
“You damned woman…! I’ll kill you!”
A furious voice echoed from behind.
The moment it entered her vision, it was over.
Chayeon’s body would stick to any wall, and that instant would mark the end of her life.
“Haack! Haack!”
The stairs were only three floors, yet they felt longer than ever.
She gripped her trembling knees and kept descending, step after step.
Footsteps echoed harshly from behind, chasing her down the stairs.
Just a little more. Just a little more!
Finally, the hallway entrance came into view.
Chayeon threw the door open and ran outside.
Sunlight.
Distance filled her eyes.
Outside.
Freedom!
A smile formed at the corner of Chayeon’s mouth.
But at that exact moment,
Chayeon’s feet stopped as if nailed to the ground.
*Tap, tap.*
“You damned woman… You still… You’re dead, you bitch.”
Heavy footsteps approached from behind, like death itself slowly walking toward her.
The footsteps that would end her life.
One step. Another step.
Breathing like a wild animal.
*Hic!*
A sob slipped out between ragged breaths and echoed down the corridor.
“Haha, interesting. Very interesting. Women really are fierce after all. I’m looking forward to seeing how much you break.”
Juh Jihyo brushed his hair back while looking down.
Blood dripped from one eye.
A body over 190 cm tall felt overwhelmingly dominant.
Ah… it’s over.
She had run desperately, but it had all failed.
Everything was finished.
……
…
…
…
…
…
“Oh, Chayeon? We meet here?”
A familiar voice rang out.
Chayeon lifted her head.
There—
Holding a smartphone in one hand and a black bag full of vegetables in the other—
was **Jo Namyeon**.
