EP.222 The Beginning of Punishment 

A day had passed. 

With the effects of the drug completely gone, Heo Seong-ah remained in a dazed state for a while. 

"Ugh..." 

She tried to recall the memories of last night, but a throbbing headache made her thoughts break off. 

Even when she had gotten drunk and collapsed in the street, it hadn’t been this miserable. 

"What the..." 

She couldn’t quite remember what mistake she had made. 

She just remembered feeling really good... 

And that she had made some kind of irreversible choice... 

"Uuugh..." 

The more she tried to remember, the more her head hurt and nausea welled up. 

Squinting her eyes, Heo Seong-ah looked at the sunlight outside the window, frowning. 

She didn’t know what time it was, but Jun-ha was still off in dreamland. 

She thought about resting a bit more before getting up, but... 

"Yawn~" 

Suddenly, she heard Jun-ha’s voice as he stretched and yawned. 

Heo Seong-ah hurriedly slid off the bed and knelt on the floor. 

She placed her hands on her knees and waited for her master to fully wake up. 

A moment later, Jun-ha sat up, noticed the empty spot beside him, and found Heo Seong-ah kneeling on the floor right next to the bed. 

"Ah, good morning, Master..!" 

As a submissive female livestock, Heo Seong-ah performed a naked dogeza for her master. 

She didn’t know exactly how badly she’d messed up last night... 

She just hoped this would be enough to put her master in a good mood. 

"Ugh..." 

She bowed her head even lower, pressing her forehead to the floor. 

The still-unhealed piercing wounds stung as they were pressed, but she had no time to care about that now. 

"Yawn~" 

Without responding, Jun-ha yawned and left the room. 

He poured himself a glass of cold water in the kitchen, washed his face in the bathroom, and returned to bed, pulling the blanket over himself and fiddling with his phone. 

Meanwhile, Heo Seong-ah remained in her bowed, naked dogeza position. 

What was this? 

Why was he acting like this?... She almost wished he’d get angry or step on her head instead. 

She had never experienced this kind of indifference before and found it disconcerting. 

"Yawn~" 

About an hour passed. 

Stretching and rubbing his eyes, Jun-ha turned his gaze to Heo Seong-ah. 

He tapped her curled-up butt with his foot. 

"Hey, what are you doing?" 

"Yes..?" 

"Are you just going to keep doing that because I’m not saying anything? Isn’t there something you’re supposed to be doing even if I don’t tell you?" 

"Uh... what..?" 

Heo Seong-ah looked up at him with a genuinely clueless expression, trying to read his mood. 

"Sigh..." 

Jun-ha scratched his head in exasperation. 

Deciding she needed to be retrained from scratch, he grabbed her hair irritably and dragged her out to the living room like a piece of luggage. 

"Kyaaa!" 

Heo Seong-ah struggled like an animal being dragged to slaughter. 

She screamed as her scalp felt like it was being torn off, but Jun-ha didn’t let go. 

"Kkeuuuuk... aagh..!" 

In the center of the living room, Jun-ha threw her down, then sat back on the sofa with his arms crossed and legs spread in a cocky posture. 

In front of him, Heo Seong-ah curled up like a baby bear, clutching her throbbing head. 

"Hey, Heo Seong-ah. You chose to become female livestock yourself, right? You chose to be livestock instead of human, you cunt." 

"Huh..? Yes..!" 

She couldn’t remember last night clearly, but she was pretty sure she’d made that choice. 

Realizing her position, she knelt with her messy hair at Jun-ha’s feet and bowed her head. 

"I-I’m sorry, Master..! From now on, I’ll do my best to be the perfect female livestock that pleases you..!" 

"Good. That’s what I like to see. You’ll never get another chance to be human, so you’d better work hard as livestock, right?" 

"Hhic..!" 

Jun-ha realized it had been a mistake to try to make Heo Seong-ah his girlfriend out of misplaced affection. 

...It was all because of those friends who got him drunk and filled his head with nonsense. 

"You’re female livestock for life now, Seong-ah." 

Female livestock must be raised as livestock. 

Giving them unnecessary humanity only leads to disasters like this. 

"So, now that you’re back to being livestock, you have a daily routine you’re supposed to follow, right?" 

"Yes? Yes, Master..! I remember everything..!" 

"If you remember, why aren’t you doing it?" 

"Uh..?" 

"When you wake up in the morning, you should do your assigned tasks. Why did you spend an hour kneeling under the bed?" 

"Ah, well, I was just waiting in position until you gave me permission..." 

But in the end, she had neglected her duties as livestock and acted out of line. 

"You need to be punished, right?" 

"Hhic..!" 

Just hearing the word "punishment" made Heo Seong-ah shudder in fear. 

No matter how pale and tearful she looked, Jun-ha had no intention of letting her off. 

"Get up." 

"Hhic..." 

She realized that clinging to his ankle or begging in a naked dogeza was now pointless. 

To be recognized as a truly obedient female livestock, she had to follow his orders completely. 

"Get up. That’s the second time I’ve said it." 

"Yes..!" 

Lamenting her miserable life, Heo Seong-ah squeezed her eyes shut and stood up. 

Immediately, Jun-ha, still sitting on the sofa, punched her hard in the lower abdomen. 

Thud- 

"Kuhk..!" 

His fist sank deep into her belly, making her double over. 

Jun-ha pressed her head to the floor with his foot as she lay prone. 

"I’ll say it again, Seong-ah. You’re female livestock. Standing up straight on two legs is something only humans do." 

"Ugh... yes, Master... kkeuuuk..." 

Fully realizing her status as livestock, Heo Seong-ah flattened herself to the floor. 

Today, Jun-ha’s unusually violent demeanor made her tremble in fear. 

"Hheek..!" 

Jun-ha’s hand caressed her buttocks. 

Even the rough touch of his hand sent chills up her spine, and she flinched in surprise. 

"If you do something wrong, you need to be punished, right?" 

"Yes..!" 

"Good. That’s how you should answer, Seong-ah." 

Jun-ha opened the box on the living room table. 

Inside were all the piercings he’d bought yesterday at the illegal clinic. 

He pulled out a thin silver chain shaped like a Y, with hooks at each end just like the chain outfit from yesterday. 

"Uut..." 

Even without being told, she could guess it was meant to be attached to her piercings. 

The pain she would soon endure felt so real she was on the verge of tears. 

"Stand up. This time, stand up like a person." 

"Yes, Master..!" 

Unable to refuse, Heo Seong-ah stood up straight, hands behind her back, chest thrust forward. 

Jun-ha attached the chain hooks to the rings on her nipple piercings. 

The two chains joined into one, running down to her navel piercing and then to her clitoral piercing. 

"Nice." 

Jun-ha watched the sensual combination of chain and piercings with a satisfied smile. 

Thinking this was the end of her punishment, Heo Seong-ah sighed in relief... 

But contrary to her naive hope, the punishment hadn’t even begun. 

"We’re going out again today. Got it?" 

"Huh..? W-where..." 

"Curious?" 

"N-no!! I-I wouldn’t dare..." 

Heo Seong-ah shook her head desperately, almost in tears, afraid she’d be punished for asking. 

But surprisingly, Jun-ha just chuckled and let it go. 

"What? It’s okay to be curious." 

He casually picked up three notes from the table. 

"These are the three punishments you earned for your mistakes yesterday. And there’s one more for not doing your livestock duties properly today. How many is that in total?" 

"Four..." 

"Right. You’ll get at least four punishments today. Any complaints?" 

"Hhic... N-no, Master..." 

Even one punishment was terrifying, but now she’d get four. 

Heo Seong-ah trembled uncontrollably with fear. 

"From now on, punishments won’t be done at home. There are too few options here." 

"Huh..? Then where..." 

"We’re going to the back alley we went to yesterday. I’m sure there are shops specializing in punishment there." 

"Hhic..!" 

Jun-ha’s amateur punishments had limits. 

For safer, more effective punishment, he needed a professional’s touch. 

"You know why I’m doing this, right?" 

"Hhic..!" 

Jun-ha had wanted to train her himself for life, even if he wasn’t perfect. 

But she was the one who rejected his affection and chose to be livestock. 

Feeling betrayed, he wanted to see her suffer, even if it meant using someone else’s hands. 

"M-master..." 

She had to stop this. 

If nothing else, she had to persuade him not to have her punished by someone else. 

"I-I’ll really be your obedient livestock from now on... Can’t I just be punished at the mansion?" 

"Hmm... is that so?" 

"Yes..! I even think punishment is a kind of love..! I want only you to punish me, not anyone else..!" 

She thought maybe she could convince him. 

"Master..!" 

As always, Heo Seong-ah prostrated herself before Jun-ha in submission.
