Lee Jak lowered his voice. It seemed like he was about to say something important. All of Jiwon’s attention focused on Lee Jak’s mouth.
“I’ll propose two methods.”
“Yes. Tell me.”
“First, find someone else to take over the cult leader position. In this case, we can waive the penalty fee as an introduction bonus. But the debt still exists, and since you’re stepping down from the cult leader position, interest on the debt will start accruing.”
“……”
His head ached. Finding someone else to take over was also a problem. It would be difficult to find someone willing, and it would just mean creating another victim.
“What’s the other method…?”
“Your debt is your parents’ debt. The second method is to find your parents and make them pay it off.”
“……”
It was absurd. He had hoped for a solution, but both options were impossible. The latter was ideal, but Jiwon’s parents were currently missing. They were supposed to be in the Philippines, but even that seemed untrue. Could he find someone who had disappeared on purpose?
Besides, Jiwon was effectively trapped inside the cult. Finding his parents while fulfilling his duties as cult leader would be difficult. In other words, it was impossible for Jiwon to escape his position as cult leader right now.
Tears welled up in Jiwon’s despairing eyes. As if sensing his despair, Lee Jak spoke gently, trying to comfort him as much as possible.
“I know this is unfortunate, but… you’re doing very well, Cult Leader-nim. No one could do this job as well as you. Even Kim Seonghee-nim acknowledged that.”
“But this isn’t right. I really…”
“Cult Leader-nim…”
Jiwon turned his head and sniffled. Lee Jak hesitated again, searching for the right words in this situation.
“If that’s the case, I’ll convey your intention to quit to Kim Seonghee-nim. But honestly, it won’t work at all. So I’d like to recommend another method.”
“……What?”
“Use Kim Seonghee-nim.”
Lee Jak lowered his voice even further. But it was clear. Use Kim Seonghee. Jiwon struggled to understand what Lee Jak was saying.
“After all, Kim Seonghee-nim holds all the power. With one word from him…”
“……”
“Your debt could disappear in an instant.”
Jiwon swallowed. This sounded like a glimmer of hope.
“H-how…?”
“There’s a saying—pillow talk, right? Get closer to Kim Seonghee-nim. And ask him.”
“Pillow talk…?”
Jiwon’s face flushed. He understood the implication of those words.
“I don’t think I can. How could I…”
“There’s a possibility. Kim Seonghee-nim is quite fond of you, isn’t he?”
Lee Jak’s voice was full of confidence. Jiwon hesitated. Was Kim Seonghee really fond of him? It seemed so. He didn’t seem to dislike him in any way. But Jiwon wasn’t sure if that was sexual curiosity. Why was Lee Jak so confident?
“I don’t know. I’m not even good at sex…”
“Cult Leader-nim.”
Lee Jak sighed in exasperation. Then he took out his phone and showed the screen to Jiwon.
“It’s not appropriate to show you this now, but please take a look.”
“What is this…?”
Jiwon took the phone, bewildered. The screen displayed a website—the official site of the Land of Happiness. The design, a mix of white, blue, and black, strangely inspired trust. And prominently featured on the main page was a video. The thumbnail read: Introducing the New Cult Leader.
“This…”
“It’s the promotional video we filmed last time. Watch it.”
Jiwon shook his head. He didn’t want to watch. He tried to return the phone to Lee Jak, but Lee Jak insisted. He pressed play with his own hand.
“Watch it properly.”
It was forced. He didn’t want to see it at all, but the video played in front of him. Jiwon’s eyes involuntarily followed the screen. Lee Jak’s voice, re-recorded and clear, narrated:
‘The new cult leader enjoys having his chest touched.’
Jiwon’s face was mosaicked, but everything else was exposed in explicit detail. His nipples, erect and tormented as he was pinned down, were visible. A small noise, perhaps an amplified moan, could be heard.
‘Hng… ah… ah…’
‘As for the cult leader’s intimate areas…’
Jiwon’s face burned. The screen showed his ass filled. Gel poured by Lee Jak dripped down his hairless penis. Wet fingers massaged the entrance of his hole, shown in explicit detail.
‘Surprisingly, it’s cleanly shaved and soft.’
Lee Jak’s solemn narration drove Jiwon to the brink of madness.
“S-stop…”
“Watch until the end.”
Jiwon wanted to hide somewhere, ashamed and humiliated. But Lee Jak prevented him from looking away. With a wet, squelching sound, Lee Jak’s fingers entered Jiwon’s hole.
‘I’m sure everyone is curious about what it’s like inside.’
‘Ung…’
‘The cult leader, who even has pretty moans, loves sex the most.’
He couldn’t take it anymore.
“Really, stop! I don’t want to watch anymore!”
“It’s almost over.”
‘What it feels like inside the cult leader’s hole… You’ll have to touch it yourself to know. It’s really wet and sucks you in.’
‘I’m embarrassed…’
The screen cut to Jiwon with a dog-tail-shaped dildo inserted in his ass. Lee Jak’s hand gripped the tail and shook it, causing Jiwon to convulse and collapse onto the floor. Then, as instructed by Lee Jak, he spread his legs and ejaculated a clear, thin fluid. Jiwon was so embarrassed he almost cried.
‘The one who will fulfill the cult leader’s secret desires…’
‘Is you.’
Lee Jak’s voice, followed by Jiwon’s trembling voice:
‘Hng… be nice to me… come and… hng… p-please…’
‘How can I be nice to you?’
‘I don’t know… I’m embarrassed… I don’t want this anymore… hng.’
The video ended. Afterward, there was a brief introduction to recruiting followers. Though it was only about 30 seconds long, it felt like an eternity. Jiwon was so overwhelmed with shame that he almost forgot what had happened earlier. He could barely breathe.
“W-what is this…?”
“This video has an incredible number of views.”
Lee Jak happily clicked on the video’s info.
“Already, 100,000 people have watched your video.”
Unbelievable……
He had never imagined that moment would be edited into something so lewd and uploaded.
“New followers have increased by over 250% compared to last quarter in just one week. It’s directly boosting sales. Everyone’s asking if there are more videos.”
“Then my debt…”
“Of course, it’s being settled in real time with the sales.”
“Lee Jak-ssi…”
“You’re truly talented, Cult Leader-nim. Don’t quit.”
Lee Jak grabbed Jiwon’s hand and pleaded. Jiwon just rolled his eyes, unsure of what to do.
“Don’t forget my suggestion. Use Kim Seonghee-nim. You can do it.”
“I’ll… think about it.”
“Let’s figure out the specifics together.”
“Yes, I will.”
Jiwon slowly nodded. Satisfied with his answer, Lee Jak smiled.
