Villain Eaten By The Hero - Chapter 46
CHAPTER 46
“It’s a bit maniacal, your request.”
Seo’s eyebrows furrowed as he heard the nature of Belze’s request, appearing slightly perplexed. At the very least, his current disposition seemed to be more tolerant than most people, given that he called her request a bit maniacal.
If it were the old Seo, he might have smashed a wall by now, or if he were an ordinary person, he would have likely refused with disgust. If he was Wonha or Hyena, he would have given the OK sign. However, both of them were villains, so that wasn’t normal either.
Yet Seo complied with Belze’s request. He was wearing only a pair of underwear that clung to his body and a collar around his neck.
A leather belt, much like a dog collar, was wrapped around his neck and a long leash made of thin leather was attached to it. Belze held the end of the leather strap, looking down at Seo, who was kneeling beneath her with his knees on the ground.
“I think you look good in a dog collar.”
She murmured, her cheeks flushing with ecstasy. Her cheeks flushed, and her heart raced as she looked down at Seo, who knelt with only one layer of underwear on. She felt a sense of conquest, something she couldn’t usually achieve.
Initially, Seo seemed a bit hesitant, but the moment he understood, he willingly shed his clothes one by one. How thrilling it had been when she fitted the dog collar around his neck, almost like claiming a territory.
Regardless of the change in his personality, the exhilarating satisfaction of having Kim Seo submit to her still thrilled Belze, even without physical contact.
After taking off his clothes, she noticed the numerous nail marks on his back, making her feel embarrassed, but the feeling of conquest overwhelmed her embarrassment. Belze placed her bare foot, having removed her socks, on Seo’s thigh.
Although she didn’t apply any pressure, from above, it looked like she was stepping on his thigh. It was a truly exquisite camera angle, so she took a picture of it.
“Ohhh, this is so good. The best. Can I post this? You allowed it, right?”
“I said I’d understand if you wanted my explicit photos. But you better be clear about what you’re requesting, okay? Since it’s your request, don’t change your mind.”
“Yeah, yeah. The nail marks show up more clearly than I thought. Put on a shirt.”
Although Seo seemed somewhat reluctant to listen, he still followed her instructions diligently. He put on the shirt hesitantly, placing a hand between his thighs like someone ready to engage in real SM play. Belze didn’t miss the sensual moment and continuously clicked the shutter.
Seo is less handsome in the photo than he is in real life, but he looks more erotic in the photo than he does in real life.
The request Belze made to assess how Seo’s personality had changed was as follows:
She asked if she could take a picture of him wearing a dog collar and leash while kneeling and circulate it. It was the best move she could think of.
If he refused or got angry, the submissive and tolerant attitude he displayed moments ago would be perceived as an act.
If he accepted, she could gauge how far he was willing to submit. If he was only okay with undressing, it showed a mild submission. If the collar was acceptable, it indicated a stronger submission. And if he agreed to take a picture and post it on the internet, it meant absolute submission.
If he refused, Belze would learn about Seo’s personality better. If he accepted, she would obtain a picture that would diminish Seo’s reputation. It was a win-win proposal, and Seo boldly agreed to let the pictures be taken and shared.
Ecstasy surged through Belze. The personality changing device, whose success was ambiguous until now, had just hit the jackpot. Belze didn’t know which part of Seo’s personality had been tampered with to result in this outcome, but he was completely submissive to her at the moment.
Even if he had said he wouldn’t quit being a hero, as long as she persuaded him cleverly, he might retire or at least become a spy.
“It’s a huge success!”
Belze exclaimed in excitement.
Belze eagerly uploaded slightly blurry picture with the title “[Ravi’s private life… Shocking]” on an appropriate anonymous site. She had cropped the image just above the navel at the last moment. The outline of his underwear was visible through it, which was why she decided to crop it higher.
The picture showed enough for others to suspect and reducing the image quality further was a better strategy. People tend to keep suspecting when they see too much. You need to move strategically when you have a weakness. As Belze hummed a tune, checking the upload status, Seo, who had been sitting silently, stood up and undid the leather belt.
“It’s my turn now, isn’t it?”
The thin belt that had been loosely wrapped around Seo’s thick neck easily came undone and swiftly wrapped around Belze’s neck.
“…Huh?”
It happened in an instant. Although Seo was usually quicker, but with both hands on her cell phone, she had no time to protest.
“Why are you making such a face? You know I’m just returning the favor for what I went through.”
Belze looked up at him, her eyelids quivering, but even when she gazed at him, he didn’t seem angry at all.
“My personality may change, but my essence doesn’t, Belze.”
He spoke softly and affectionately as he tugged the leash.
Leaning forward, Seo, who was half-n*ked, came closer. As he trotted along the swaying leash, it conveyed one thing:
The stock that Belze thought she had hit the jackpot had plummeted instantly.
That’s why stocks…!
Tears welled up in Belze’s eyes as she realized that her multimillion-dollar project had once again gone down the drain. Seo held the leash tightly as Belze’s body shifted backward, creating tension in the thin cord.
“You said I could do it, you should have said no if you didn’t want to!”
“I didn’t say no and I didn’t mind, I’m just saying that to be fair, you have to do the same thing.”
Considering Seo’s temperament, which believed in repaying everything equally, it wasn’t surprising that he thought this way.
But then again, he should have said something beforehand. If he had said that she had to go through the same thing also, she might have changed her conditions as well. Not mentioning conditions before making a contract was nothing short of fraud.
“But bringing it up now is cheating! If you can’t do it, then you should have said stop!”
“You know it well.”
Seo’s words struck her like a hammer.
The distance between them shortened metallurgically as Seo twirled the leash in his hand. A sense of urgency rose in her as his harlequin scarred body drew closer.
“You still call yourself a hero after all this? You fraud!”
Seo, whose personality wasn’t much different from that of a self-proclaimed villain, accepted this criticism without much fuss. With that alone, he gently scolded Belze for her lack of professional ethics.
“Don’t try to be so moralistic, Belze. You’re a villain.”
As Seo approached her, his gaze fixed on her face, he undid a button of her shirt just below his line of sight. Five buttons were quickly undone and her shirt parted, revealing the underwear she had worn the day before and the hickeys from the previous night.
There was a slightly purplish hickey bite marks remaining, and while feeling a little sorry for it, Seo’s face was satisfied as he gently traced it with his thumb.
“I’m taking care of yours! Yours!”
“I appreciate the consideration, but I’m fine. Didn’t you see the news? No one believes it anyway.”
His level of response was akin to dismissing her words. It was almost like trying to stop a bursting dam with a piece of tissue paper.
Was he saying that as long as the citizens didn’t doubt him, he could ignore professional ethics?
While the prosecution and the citizens might not know, Heaven knows, Earth knows, and Seo himself knows.
But now, that was all crumbling. It seemed that he, not getting caught, wasn’t a sin in his eyes, which was why he worshipped the notion of “if it’s not caught, it’s not a crime.”
“And I told you that you should get to know me and make your request properly, didn’t I?”
“Uh…”
Once he said that, Belze felt a sense of exhilaration. It seemed like her mistake was not properly checking the contract.
The saying “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” is something many people want to practice, although those who are so diligent in doing so are rare. Due to this desire, Seo’s logic was easy to comprehend.
Even a villain like Belze could understand the psychology of Seo, and that’s the power of a 3700-year-old phrase.
From a logical standpoint, anyone would find the idea of posting pictures in bondage repulsive.
“No, but then why did you agree to do it in the first place!”
This was the part Belze couldn’t comprehend. If it was something he didn’t want to do, he could have outright refused. If you don’t want to do something, you don’t do it, and you don’t ask others to do it.
But attempting to do something he didn’t want to do and then trying to make Belze do it too! Seo had said his essence remained the same, but in her eyes, something crucial seemed to have soured.
“I mean, from my perspective, it’s a win-win situation. It’s a little embarrassing for my image to have these photos circulating, but it’s not that bad. It’s like wearing a swimsuit.”
“But you’re wearing a dog collar around your neck! A dog collar!”
“If you think positively, it’s kind of like a choker.”
“You’re so f*cked up! Why are you being positive and sh*t!”
This new version of Seo, who had once been reluctant to even wear a cute headband, was worlds apart from his previous self.
But even this, Belze could understand. Originally, one’s sense of shame was closely related to personality. Shyness is inherently tied to personality. Some people would be so embarrassed by a swimsuit photo that they would never show it willingly, while others might accidentally show a picture of themselves wearing only underwear and be embarrassed for around 30 seconds only.
The changed Seo probably just thought that the picture, which would have disgusted the original Seo, wasn’t a critical weakness. In Belze’s eyes, it seemed as tantalizing as a vivid photo, but the topless attire and the leash were a bit too showy, even for a high-energy variety show.
But that was Seo, a man, talking, not Belze. Her perspective was different. She shook her head in disgust.
“It’s similar to a swimsuit.”
“Yeah, but —”
“It’s similar to a swimsuit.”
“But—”
“And I’m keeping your picture to myself.”
“Huh, really?”
“I’m not asking you to go that far. I know what it’s like to be in the public eye. And why would I spread your picture? I can’t stand the idea of you in that situation being seen by others.”
Buttons undone, Seo’s hands, which had been wandering near her waist, eventually managed to remove her shirt. It slipped off her shoulders and fell around her ankles.
Seo’s fingers flicked at the strap of her bra.
“Pull down one instead. You can cover it with your hand.”
“Uh… uh…”
Belze whimpered, contorting her body, yet hesitantly began to peel off her bra.
Seo’s touch is gentle for now, but he gives as good as he gets, and he keeps his word for the most part.
She has no means of escape, but if she resists or runs away, she will only be caught. So, instead of getting a picture of herself wearing a dog collar, she might end up with a mugshot.
Compared to the latter, the former seemed like a relatively lenient offer. There was no logical argument to refuse. There was no way to escape, and thinking of it as akin to a swimsuit photo made it not so repulsive. It was just a slightly embarrassing picture, after all.
How bad could it be?
Belze removed her bra and covered her br*asts with her palms. Her expression contorted as if she were about to throw a tantrum.
“…Just the upper part.”
It had been fine when she was taking off her clothes, but now that she was standing there with nothing on, it felt embarrassing. No matter how many times they looked at each other, it was still embarrassing to be n*ked and facing each other in a brightly lit room in broad daylight. With the collar around her neck, there was nothing she could say.
Unable to decide whether to close her eyes or keep them open, Belze stared down. She just stood there, completely exposed. After a moment, the sound of a shutter clicked several times in front of her. It was a film camera, brought from somewhere inside the house.
When the noise stopped, Belze slowly raised her gaze. Seo’s face, filled with satisfaction, met her eyes. He had never smiled much even when looking at other people’s bodies, and seeing him so satisfied was a rare sight.
Whether Seo liked the image of her with the collar on or something about her chest being exposed was making him fidget, it seemed crude to Belze. On the other hand, it felt a bit ticklish, as if she was feeling something below.
Belze hastily picked up her fallen shirt and bra.
“Done now, right? Fair and square? You’re really something….”
