Chapter 98 – Retraining (1)

I slowly opened my eyes and looked blankly at the patterns engraved on the ceiling.

When I realized that I had passed out the day before, I was already on the hotel bed.

I jumped out of bed and looked for my phone, but it was hidden under the pillow next to my bed.

I quickly checked the time, and it was 8:21 in the morning.

It’s already morning.

… Uh? When will I return to my room…

In an instant, memories of last night vaguely passed through my mind.

While drinking alone at the hotel bar…

I sat down with a woman named Shin Yu-jeong…

Before I knew it, I was so drunk that she took me to my room.

… That was the end.

I started to get angry at the fact that I was drunk once again and the film was cut off.

Kim Cho-in, you idiot…, Let’s do it in moderation…

I let out a deep sigh and fell down on the bed.

The soft blanket and bed wrapped around my body, wrapping my still half-asleep, hot head comfortably.

… It’s really soft.

As I turned my body slightly and lay down, I could see the blue sea through a gap in the slightly opened curtain.

I half-closed my eyes and stared blankly at the sea, lost in thought.

When I think about it, alcohol has always been the problem.

From her first relationship with Lee Ji-yeon to the major accident that hit Hyeon-yeon

It was all about alcohol.

It was the first time that the alcohol I had accumulated over many years of managerial experience felt so empty.

It was like that last night.

I drank a bit too much, but it wasn’t enough to make me black out.

When I think back on how he was shaking like a drugged person, there was definitely something strange about it.

Out of curiosity, I got out of bed and checked my wallet on the dressing table.

Of course, nothing was missing, only the business card I gave Shin Yu-jeong was stuck at an angle.

What I’m saying is that she didn’t receive my business card.

I put away the business cards that were sticking out, put my wallet away, and walked towards the refrigerator where there was water.

As I gulped down the cool water, I felt like my confused stomach calmed down a little.

I felt dizzy, probably because I wasn’t quite sober yet, so I went back to bed and lay down.

I reached for my cell phone that I had thrown away, set the alarm for 9 o’clock, and quietly closed my eyes.

I had to go up to Seoul soon, and I couldn’t imagine how tiring things would be upon me.

*

I left a message to CEO Choi as I boarded the KTX heading to Seoul.

[It came up sooner than expected, I thought about it carefully, and I will live to see it!] I sent a reply.

She was debating whether to contact Lee Ji-yeon or not, and in the end, she left a message saying that she was on her way up. She must have been holding her cell phone, so she got a reply right away…

[Wow.]

… Just one letter was sent.

When I thought about going back to Jiyeon Lee, fear began to creep in again.

… Should I go back now? What kind of escape can be completed in one day…, … Did I get caught?

I spent some time fidgeting with anxiety, and before I knew it, I had arrived at Seoul Station.

The moment she got off the KTX with a deep sigh, the cell phone in her hand rang briefly.

I was startled by the amazing timing and looked around and glanced at my phone.

It was a message from Jiyeon Lee.

When I calmed down and opened her message, I saw a place written on it.

I wondered if something had been sent to me out of the blue, so I opened the map and checked…

… Seoul Station, parking lot…

… Huh?

While I was at a loss for what to do about the embarrassing content, another message was sent.

[10 minutes.]

The moment she saw Jiyeon Lee’s message, she reflexively took her steps and quickly left the boarding area.

Without knowing what was happening, she hurriedly ran to the parking lot, avoiding people.

“Huh…, Heo…”

As I headed toward the parking lot, out of breath, a white car stopped in front of me, and the passenger window rolled down.

… Ugh.

Ji-yeon Lee glanced at me through the open window, and without realizing it, I looked away, and her body shrank.

… When on earth did we get here?

She didn’t tell me she was coming by KTX, and she didn’t even tell me the time she got on, but the fact that she was waiting in advance gave me goosebumps.

At that time, she was startled by the sound of the horn honking behind her, so she moved her creaking body and quickly climbed into the passenger seat.

As soon as I closed the door, Jiyeon Lee left the parking lot and didn’t say anything.

As she passed the parking lot and drove onto the road, she flinched slightly at the sound of the door locking.

For some reason, I heard the loud sound of the door being locked, and I started to get nervous.

When I saw her staring at the road without even looking at me, I sat quietly with her hands folded together.

However, the direction the car was heading was strange.

… Isn’t it missing here?

Jiyeon Lee was not driving on her way to her home, but was driving on a road leading to the outskirts of Seoul.

… Huh?

Before I could say anything, she suddenly increased her speed and started to speed down the road, barely able to pass.

“Oh, oh!”

The car ahead of her changed lanes and almost hit her, but Jiyeon Lee managed to avoid the accident by swerving her direction.

As I looked at Jiyeon Lee, holding her bouncing breasts, she started to speed up even more, staring at the road without any sign of surprise.

She screamed as her speed increased to the point where her body fell backwards.

“Now, wait a minute! Jiyeon!”

The sound of her roaring engine was so loud that it made her feel deaf.

But Jiyeon Lee didn’t even pretend to listen to me, and she started driving roughly down the road.

The moment she desperately reached out and touched Lee Ji-yeon’s shoulder…

She turned her head and looked at me.

Just for a moment, the moment our eyes met.

When Lee Ji-yeon glanced at me with passionate eyes, my heart sank, so I quickly withdrew my hand and avoided Lee Ji-yeon’s gaze.

… What, what, what…

It really was a look that looked like it could kill me.

Before she knew it, the cold chill began to prick her chest.

Her hands were shaking, and she tried to calm herself down by grabbing her seat belt, but instead her body began to tremble more.

Her breathing became difficult, and she could barely catch her breath as she quietly waited for Jiyeon Lee to stop running wild.

Before I knew it, I had left the highway and buildings began to come into view.

Only then did Jiyeon Lee, who had been running while slowing down, suddenly start turning her corner sharply.

She didn’t know where she was going, she just held on to her seatbelt, shivering.

As she ran a little further, the buildings disappeared, and a mountain appeared.

And after she ran a little further, the road stopped.

The place where Lee Ji-yeon stopped her car was a one-story house hidden in a dense forest.

She got out of the car carefully, following Jiyeon Lee who got out of the car without saying a word.

She lifted a large sports bag from her trunk onto her shoulder and headed toward her house, holding my arm while keeping her eyes on the floor.

She seemed to be carrying something quite heavy, so I offered to help her carry her bag…

… Poetry, did I make a mistake?

She glanced at me again and quietly led me into the house.

She took out her pack of keys from her bag, opened the door, pushed me in, followed me in, and closed the door.

She heard the door locking with a heavy metal sound, and when she turned around, she saw that the door was being locked with a key from the inside.

… Should I go this far?

I was so scared that I couldn’t say anything, so I stood there silently, and she closed the door and grabbed my arm and led me into her house.

… What is this house? When did you find this place? What the hell…

She turned on the lights in the house, grabbed me, and led me to a room in the corner.

When I opened the door, there was another door, and Jiyeon Lee said, putting me in front.

“Go in.”

When I heard Lee Ji-yeon’s voice for the first time in a long time, I hurriedly tried to get her to say something, but…

“… Uh? Hey, Jiyeon! What on earth is this…”

“Go in.”

Seeing Lee Ji-yeon repeat the same words with her expression blank, I felt a strange sense of fear, so I closed my mouth and obediently opened the door.

It was so dark beyond the door that opened with a squeak that I couldn’t see anything.

“… Ji, Jiyeon, I can’t see anything…”

At that moment, a light clicked and began to illuminate the other side of the door.

Beyond the door was not a room, but a long flight of stairs.

… Wow, stairs? There is a basement in this house?

I decided to go down the stairs when Jiyeon Lee’s hand pushed my back.

When she went down about four steps, she heard another clanking sound from behind.

I quickly turned around and saw Jiyeon Lee locking her door from the inside again.

“… Oh, Jiyeon? I…, Tsk…”

Only then did she realize what was strange and tried to call Jiyeon Lee, but she was left speechless by the look in Jiyeon Lee’s eyes as she turned around after locking her door.

She gestured at me, looking at me with trembling eyes, as if telling Jiyeon Lee to go down as well.

As I froze, she took a step down and made eye contact with her.

I hurriedly went down the stairs as if she was going to kick me if I didn’t go down right away.

At the end of the stairs was a heavy iron door. I glanced behind me and carefully opened the door, revealing a spacious basement.

This large space was divided by a transparent wall, and on one side was a bright interior reminiscent of a newlywed home, filled with various home appliances, including a large bed and shower booth.

On the contrary, the space on the other side was darkness itself.

Small iron bars, iron rings on the walls, and even a small water pipe big enough to fit a human head…, It was a space so desolate that it reminded me of past events I had seen in my dreams.

… What, why did you bring me here, really…

As endless doubts welled up, and I was lost, Jiyeon Lee pushed me on the back.

“Oh!”

She lost her footing and almost fell, but she managed to keep her balance and didn’t fall.

When I looked behind her, I saw Jiyeon Lee locking her door again.

It’s already been three times.

She locked the door three times on her way here.

After locking her door, she looked at Jiyeon Lee and carefully spoke out.

“… Ji, Jiyeon, what is this?”

Jiyeon Lee put down her bag that was on her shoulder and threw it on the floor.

When she heard the sound of the bag falling with a clang, her eyes widened, and she quickly walked away.

“… Jiyeon Lee! What is this!! You don’t even tell me what it is…”

Jiyeon Lee didn’t seem to care whether I shouted or not. She opened her bag and looked at me, taking out something long.

Jiyeon Lee was startled by the object she took out and was left speechless.

She spoke softly, gently touching the thing in her hand as if checking her condition.

“… Where do you want to go?”

The moment she saw the baseball bat in her hand, her heart started pounding like it was broken.

Jiyeon Lee was glaring at me, but she looked very angry, but she wasn’t.

She didn’t roll her eyes in anger, nor did she lose her senses.

Rather, she seemed calm and not very angry.

And yet…, Her eyes contained such heavy emotions that it took my breath away.

She began to feel as if she had seen a face from the past that seemed ready to explode at the slightest touch.

Like the saint who felt love while eating my flesh…

Like the emperor who imprisoned me, raped me, and made me pregnant…

Like the great wizard who cut off my limbs and dreamed of love as he pleases…

… It was a face of madness.

Past events came to mind and my heart started pounding.

At that moment, her legs became weak, and she sat down, and Jiyeon Lee slowly approached and spoke softly.

“… “You have to take responsibility, right?”

Her jaw began to tremble, and her teeth began to chatter.

She quickly tried to escape behind her, but she was blocked by a transparent glass wall and could not escape further.

What, what…, What’s this…

While I was scared, the question of where I was going to come to mind occurred to me, so I quickly looked around and saw that the glass door on the dark side was wide open.

I moved my body with the thought that if I went through that door, they might see me.

“Hehe, hehe…”

I crawled on all fours, touching the floor and crawling towards the dark side.

I wanted to get up and run, but my legs were shaking, and I had no strength.

With my creaky body crawling desperately, I was finally able to enter the dark side of the room.

She came in slowly, picking up her bag, which she had placed on the floor, as if she was enjoying this situation.

“Huh, huh, huh…”

Seeing me gasping for breath and shaking on the floor, he came closer, squatted down, gently stroked my head, and whispered softly.

“… Take off your clothes, should I check the chastity belt?”

… Chastity belt.

Jiyeon Lee put it on me as a sign of faith.

I’m drunk…, Destroyed with the help of Hyeon Ha-yeon…

… That.
