EP.209 First Time Going Out 

Jun-ha was always a man who only tolerated things up to three times. 

"Hhic..!" 

Terrified, Heo Seong-ah trembled all over in response. 

No one knew what kind of punishment she might face if she resisted any further. 

"If a female livestock whines about being scared of piercings, won’t that just annoy me, Seong-ah?" 

"N-no... that’s not it, Master... I’m fine with the piercing..." 

"Then what? What’s wrong?" 

Afraid of being punished, Heo Seong-ah’s words tumbled out. 

Needing some excuse, she looked out the living room window and spoke. 

"Um... are we really going outside?" 

"Hm? Are you scared to go outside?" 

"Yes..!" 

She thought she would live her whole life confined to the mansion... 

She never dreamed she’d suddenly be taken outside like this. 

Heo Seong-ah needed time to calm herself, but her cruel master was not going to show her any mercy. 

"It’s fine, come out." 

"But..." 

"I said it’s fine. Get out here, you bitch." 

"Hhic..!" 

At this point, reasoning no longer worked. 

Barefoot in slippers, Heo Seong-ah took a step toward the front gate. 

Having been locked inside for so long, even taking a single step outside took immense courage and resolve. 

"Ugh..." 

"Good job. Let’s go now." 

"Yes, Master..!" 

Putting on shoes, standing on two feet, and going outside were all firsts for her. 

Rather than excitement, she felt mostly fear and dread. 

"Ah..." 

It was her first time seeing the world outside the mansion. 

She realized anew just how small her cage had been. 

"Aren’t you coming? We don’t have time, Seong-ah." 

"Yes, Master..!" 

Heo Seong-ah clung tightly to her master’s hand as they walked. 

Just knowing the piercing shop was up ahead made her knees weak. 

"Follow slowly." 

"Yes..." 

Jun-ha, as if trusting her, walked ahead and left her to follow on her own. 

Should she just run away? 

If she decided to, she probably could... 

"Hhic..." 

She wanted to run. 

She truly wanted to run away, but... 

Heo Seong-ah quietly followed in his footsteps. 

There was no point in running away in a place she didn’t know. 

She’d seen plenty of stories in the media about what happened to female livestock who tried to escape for freedom. 

"Let’s go together, Master..!" 

Heo Seong-ah continued to act like an obedient female livestock- 

to secure a more certain opportunity. 

"What, you’re not running away?" 

"Huh? M-me? Why?" 

"Never mind, forget it." 

Jun-ha, with his hands in his pockets, was secretly holding a stun device. 

If Heo Seong-ah had tried to escape... 

He would have locked her in the basement for life and used her as an onahole whenever he pleased. 

"Good girl, Seong-ah." 

"Hehe..." 

Jun-ha thought he’d been overly suspicious and decided to trust her a bit more. 

They walked down the road from the mansion on the mountainside toward the city. 

After passing several winding hills, they arrived at a narrow two-lane road with a bus stop. 

They could have driven and reached the city quickly, but Jun-ha wanted Heo Seong-ah to see the outdoors, so they walked. 

"Feels good, doesn’t it?" 

"Yes, Master..!" 

It felt like a leisurely stroll after a long time. 

Jun-ha hummed as he breathed in the fresh air. 

"Seong-ah, are you tired?" 

"No, Master..!" 

Heo Seong-ah was wearing a thick hoodie like a dress in the hot summer weather. 

With her hood pulled low, she avoided the breeze, and her bare feet in oversized slippers dragged along the ground. 

On top of that, her sensitive, erect nipples rubbed against the fabric as she walked, making her body twitch. 

Milk slowly leaked and stained the hoodie, but the sweat made it hard to notice. 

"Huu... haa..." 

Saying she wasn’t tired was an obvious lie. 

Anyone could see from her sweating and grimacing that she was struggling. 

"Seong-ah, if you’re tired, just say so. I’m only walking so you can enjoy your first outing. If you don’t like it, we can call a taxi right now." 

"N-no..! I’m happy just walking with you, Master!" 

Even as her legs shook with pain, she managed to say what she thought he wanted to hear, forcing a smile. 

Thinking of the piercing torture at the end of this walk, she again felt the urge to run away. 

"We’re almost there, hang in there." 

"Yes, Master..!" 

The piercing shop was in a shopping building near Jun-ha’s mansion. 

As Heo Seong-ah’s pace slowed, Jun-ha grabbed her wrist and walked slowly to match her. 

Walking side by side like this, he couldn’t help but smile-it really felt like a date with a girlfriend. 

"We’re almost there." 

"Okay..." 

At the entrance to the mountain road, they turned right into a deserted alley. 

Following the alley deeper, they entered a hidden world cut off from society. 

Huge black garbage bags were piled up like mountains in every alley, reeking so badly even insects avoided them. 

No one was curious enough to look inside. 

"Are you scared?" 

"No... I’m fine as long as I’m with you, Master..!" 

"Really? I’m scared as hell." 

This was only Jun-ha’s second time here. 

The first was when he came to consult a private investigator about the housekeeper. 

In these back alleys, groups completely outside the law secretly performed illegal procedures and crimes. 

It looked deserted, but people were surely watching, eyeing outsiders warily. 

"Here we are." 

"Yes, Master." 

After a long walk, they arrived at a ramshackle building that looked ready to collapse. 

A neon sign blinked above, completely out of place for such a shabby building. 

The letters were so broken, they were unreadable. 

Creak- 

Jun-ha boldly opened the door and went down the stairs to the basement. 

Heo Seong-ah followed, looking around the unexpectedly clean clinic with a puzzled expression. 

It was nothing like it appeared from the outside. 

"Welcome~!" 

A woman sitting at the counter playing a phone game greeted them brightly. 

She didn’t even look up, clearly uninterested in her business. 

"Wow..." 

"Why? Surprised?" 

"Yes, Master... It’s so different from outside..." 

"Of course. They have to avoid the authorities." 

Sometimes the police would show up unannounced and check everyone. 

The woman running the illegal clinic disguised the building’s location to hide it. 

That’s why only people with an introduction could find this secret place. 

"Ah~ I lost~" 

Finishing her game, the woman banged the counter in frustration. 

Her hair was tied in a messy ponytail, her face pale with dark circles. 

Multiple piercings in her earlobes and around her eyes gave her a fierce, unfeminine impression. 

When their eyes met, Heo Seong-ah flinched and looked away in fear. 

"Sorry to keep you waiting~ Customers~" 

"No, it’s fine." 

"Let me ask-how did you find this place~?" 

She could be an undercover cop, or a rival looking for trouble. 

She kept a knife hidden behind her back, ready to stab if necessary. 

"Someone referred us." 

"Who?" 

"My father." 

Jun-ha’s father, the former head of the communal facility, knew all the illegal clinics for female livestock modification. 

After hearing his son wanted to modify Heo Seong-ah, he gave him the locations and a business card. 

Jun-ha took out the card and handed it to her. 

"Ah~ So you’re the communal facility director’s son~" 

"Yes." 

Seeing the rare gold card, she realized Jun-ha was telling the truth and finally dropped her suspicion, clapping her hands awkwardly. 

"Sorry, sorry~ With all these anti-communal facility protests lately, women are going nuts, so I’ve gotten a bit jumpy~" 

"You don’t protest? You’re a woman too." 

"Please, not every woman has to protest~ Female livestock are my livelihood~" 

She had a point. 

The communal property system is a serious issue for women’s rights, but everyone has their own views. 

Besides, even the anti-facility protests only had about a million people nationwide. 

Assuming every woman is a protester is just a dumb stereotype.
