Crawling All the Way Home
On my elbows and knees were things that vaguely resembled bicycle protective gear. I said "vaguely" because they were soft and fluffy. No matter how you sliced it, these were clearly made for this purpose. But just having the gear didn't mean I planned to crawl around on all fours like a dog, so I tried to stand up right away.
"Huh?"
But I couldn't. I could manage to get up if I tried, but my legs immediately turned to jelly, I lost my balance, and down I went. Just like a real dog.
"W-what the hell did you do to me..."
I glared at him while flopping around on my back, and Jung Taeyang just chuckled as he flipped me over again.
"I told you. I just hypnotized you into a doggy."
"So what, you make me crawl on all fours and then what?"
"What else? Does anyone bat an eye at a guy walking his dog?"
When Jung Taeyang tugged on the collar, my body automatically followed. I didn't want to choke, so I crawled along reluctantly, but no matter how I thought about it, this was insane. Still, we'd probably just loop the park a few times and call it done. I didn't have a choice anyway. I could barely stand on two legs right now.
Jung Taeyang started leading me around just like that. Leisurely, like he was really walking a dog. I crawled along, trembling in fear that someone might see me like this, but he didn't seem to care at all.
"H-hey."
"Yeah? What's up?"
"How long are we doing this...?"
"Until we get home?"
No matter how much I asked, he wouldn't give a straight answer. Was he just gonna drag this out until he was satisfied? No matter how I spun it, this guy was... a total psycho.
"Oh, people."
"Eek?!"
After crawling like that for a few minutes, someone started walking toward us from the distance. In a panic, I grabbed Jung Taeyang's leg... and tugged at his shirt with my mouth, but he just kept walking forward, even seeing me do it. For real? For real? This wasn't remotely normal. Here I was, reeking of cum, wearing a dog collar, crawling naked on all fours. Completely bare-assed.
"H-hey... seriously...?"
I was practically whimpering as I said it. But Jung Taeyang just patted my head once and straight-up greeted the approaching person.
"Hello~"
"Hello."
The person glanced my way after responding. No matter how much I huddled behind Jung Taeyang in a squat, there was no hiding a whole human body.
"Hnn... ugh..."
"Oh..."
They're looking. Staring right at me... What must they be thinking? What goes through someone's head seeing me buck-naked in the park, playing dog? Just imagining it sent chills all over my body.
Yeah, if they saw this, of course they'd think...
"Your dog's adorable?"
Adorable...? Huh?
"She's huge, but the way she whimpers and hides is so cute. You don't see many big dogs with faces this precious."
"Haha, our Binnie's pretty cute, yeah."
"Mind if I pet her?"
"Ah, our Binnie's kinda shy... She doesn't like strangers touching her."
"Oh, got it... She's just so cute, though. Could I at least snap a quick photo? She's too precious not to."
"Hmm... Sure, why not?"
Jung Taeyang dragged me forward and lifted me up a bit, like he was hoisting a dog.
"Th-this is how...?"
"Shh. Speak human words and the hypnosis breaks."
I clamped my mouth shut. What? Hypnosis could do this too? I had questions, but at least it didn't seem like we'd been busted...
"Come on, Binnie. Smile for the camera?"
I forced a grin. And right then—click. The shutter sound. After snapping the pic, the person thanked Jung Taeyang profusely and walked past us. The tension drained out of me, and I collapsed face-down right there, asking him about it.
"What the hell was that...?"
As far as I knew, the hypnosis needed his smartphone as a medium. You had to show the phone to hypnotize someone—no other way. Right?
"Suggestion. Simple suggestion."
"Suggestion?"
"Yeah, I discovered it messing around. If you hit one person with a deep hypnosis, it kinda bleeds over to others around them a bit."
"What kind of bullshit function is that..."
"It's super unstable, though. If you don't act like a real dog, they snap out of it. Like if you talk or do anything un-doggy, boom—they realize it's you."
This hypnosis app was straight-up broken. The more I thought about it, the shittier and more pathetic I felt. The protagonist of this cheat app bullshit was this asshole, and I was the one getting toyed with.
"So we're doing this all the way home...?"
"Yup."
"Haa..."
I didn't even have the energy to argue.

We walked and walked... well, one of us walked, and one crawled, until we reached our neighborhood. All sorts of shit happened along the way. Apparently, I made for a pretty cute "dog," because not only did I draw stares, but people even tried to pet me without asking. Obviously, I played dog as best I could... whimpering and ducking behind Jung Taeyang, but getting treated like a cute pup completely pulverized my sanity into dust.
"Good girl. Our Binnie did great. Such a good doggy?"
And whenever he patted my head and praised me like that, some stupid pleasant feeling washed over me before I could stop it. Was it the dog hypnosis, or Stockholm syndrome? I didn't know... but it didn't feel bad, which just meant I was getting weirder. Maybe that's why he'd made me do that ridiculous aegyo in the park—to get me used to this crap.
...If so, then maybe he was helping me...
"Whine..."
No way. No fucking way. He just wanted to see me humiliated.
"Ah, we're here."
Before I knew it, we'd arrived home. It'd only been three days in this world, but somehow it already felt cozy and familiar, like it was really ours. Jung Taeyang punched in the door code like it was nothing, stepped inside to the entryway, and finally released the hypnosis.
"You should be able to stand now."
I put strength into my legs and stood right up. The sensation of being on two feet again after so long was incredible.
"My legs... they're numb..."
Not that I could stand long—they'd gone pins-and-needles from all the crawling.
"Want me to rub 'em?"
"No thanks. You're just looking for an excuse to grope my legs."
"Aw, c'mon. You already gave your first kiss to my dick anyway..."
"Die! You fucking asshole!"
My legs might've been useless, but my arms weren't. I grabbed random junk from nearby and hurled it at him. Jung Taeyang freaked out and bolted outside, leaving me alone at last.
"Ah, if you need it, take this!"
Whoosh. Right before the door shut, he tossed something at me. A pink egg vibrator.
"I don't need your shit, you bastard!"
I yelled and chucked it back, but he was already gone.
"Haa... fuck."
Suddenly alone, the post-nut clarity hit hard. Of course it did. Every idiotic thing I'd done was burned crystal-clear into my memory.
"Aaaah..."
The shame was enough to drive me insane. This wasn't some black history you could laugh off. This was straight-up mental breakdown territory.
"...Guess I should wash up..."
The cum splattered on me had been cleaned off during the dog hypnosis, but the stench still clung to my body. Plus, with what I'd swallowed, every breath reeked...
"Ugh."
On my way to the bathroom, my eyes landed on the bed. Just a quick lie-down. And then I passed out.
*
"...Haa?"
I sat up and looked around. My room, now weirdly familiar. My body felt stiff, so I stretched big and got out of bed.
"Ugh, the smell..."
I'd slept without showering. Big mistake—the odor from my body had soaked right into the sheets. Cum stench in a 20-year-old girl's bed... Might as well have been cigarette smoke or something.
"Ugh..."
Still, I had to go to school, so I showered. I really didn't wanna go. Fuck, why did I have to go to school? I considered ditching, but then I remembered yesterday's hypnosis. That bastard was evil. Why not just wipe my memory? Why implant "you must go to school" and leave the memory intact?
I took a quick hot shower and brushed my teeth. The smell still lingered, so I gargled a few times before I was satisfied. No way was I going out smelling like cum.
Grabbed some cereal, checked the time—plenty left. Throw on the uniform and head out...
"Uniform?"
Oh, right. I'd stuffed it in the suitcase yesterday. Along with all my other clothes?
"Fuck."
No clothes. It sounded ridiculous, but here I was, naked right now. Yesterday, I'd gathered every scrap of wearable fabric and lost them all somehow...
...And with the hypnosis forcing me to school, I had to go. Call Jung Taeyang? Yeah, if I had my phone.
"...This feels like something from Hitomi."
That doujin with the exhibitionism tag. Girl goes to school naked, masturbates in front of the class, pisses herself, that kinda shit.
"Ah..."
Jung Taeyang, you fucking prick.
