Welcome to the Land of Happiness

Synopsis: 

“As of today, you are becoming the second leader of Land of Happiness.”

Seong Jiwon became the cult leader of Land of Happiness—a fraudulent religion—to pay off the debt left by his parents. The cult preaches that happiness obtained through sexual contact can achieve anything. The deeper Jiwon steps into this world, the more he realizes how far he’s drifting from a normal life. He decides he must escape this absurd cult.

“Good. You’re being obedient.”

Does he not even see me as human anymore? Jiwon’s heart ached. Tears streamed down his face. The clothes he wore were soaked in semen, and he lay crumpled on the floor, a mess.

“Leader, please say a word of greeting to the people who will watch this video.”

His mind went blank. No thoughts came to him. Jiwon opened his mouth, stuttering, “Ah… ah…” Lee Jak didn’t make a sound but shaped his lips into words. Jiwon slowly mimicked the movements.

“Hic… p-please… c-come… to l-love me… hic…” he sobbed.

“How can we love you?”

“I—I don’t know… I’m embarrassed… I—I don’t want this anymore…”

Unable to speak further, Jiwon broke down in tears again. Lee Jak stopped the recording. With that final line, the video finally felt complete.
