Atonement, For Your Cruelty — Chapter 29

MY EDUCATION WAS NOT LACKING.

BUT,

I WAS NEVER TAUGHT ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

WHY WOULD LIPS PRESS TOGETHER?

WHY WOULD TONGUES ENTWINE AND LOCK INSIDE THE MOUTH?

EVEN IN THAT CROWDED PLACE,

WAS THIS WHAT OSCAR HAD WANTED TO DO?

FUCKING BULLSHIT.

RIGHT?

...GUESS IT WASN'T BULLSHIT TO YOU?

HE ASKED TO BE PLAYED WITH.

FINE, LET'S PLAY.

A WHORE...

IT LIKELY REFERS TO A PROSTITUTE.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

WHY AM I TAKING OFF MY CLOTHES?

WHAT AM I TRYING TO DO HERE...

...SEO-AH

RAISE YOUR HEAD.

THAT'S IT,

I TOLD YOU TO WALK WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH LIKE THAT.

SINCE THIS IS A SPECIAL DAY AFTER ALL,

LET'S STRAIGHTEN YOUR CLOTHES A BIT.

THERE, NOW IT IS DONE.

YOU ARE LOVELY, SEO-AH..

AHH... THAT'S RIGHT.

MY REAL NAME, SO PRECIOUS IT WAS ONLY EVER WRITTEN IN TEXT.

BENEATH THE BLUE SEA, THE NAME MY GRANDFATHER

CALLED ME FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

I AM GLAD I LEFT YOU BEHIND.

SO THAT I COULD THROW THIS BODY INTO THE STORM.

SO THAT I COULD LET GO OF EVERYTHING...

REASON, ONCE BROKEN,

CANNOT BE PATCHED OVER EVEN WITH CHOKING SMOKE.

WHENEVER DESIRE STIRRED, IF I HAD SIMPLY EMBRACED A PROSTITUTE INSTEAD,

WOULD THIS URGE TO BURN AWAY MY SANITY IN AN INSTANT

NOT HAVE GROWN TO SUCH A MONSTROUS SIZE?

...YOU INSANE BASTARD.

OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND.

AH, UM...

SPREAD THEM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I SAID TO SPREAD THEM.

Y-YOUR EXCELLENCY...

NOW,

WAIT...

YOUR EXCELLENCY...!

DIDN'T I TELL YOU?

IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY THE WHORE, DO IT RIGHT,

AND IF YOU ARE TOO FOOLISH AND ACT ON YOUR OWN WHIM, YOU HAD BETTER BE CAREFUL.

...AH, HAVE I GIVEN UP? WELL, THINGS LIKE HONOR OR CHASTITY?

ANYONE WOULD THINK I WAS VIOLATING YOU.

YOU WALKED INTO THIS PLACE ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET

AND MUTTERED WITH THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE THAT YOU WANTED TO STAY BY MY SIDE.

WHEN WILL YOU BE ARRIVING...?

YOU'VE GRATED ON MY NERVES TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

AS MY NIGHTS HAVE GROWN FILLED WITH LOATHING,

I HOPE YOUR NIGHTS ARE JUST AS WRETCHED.

AHH...!

YOU HAVE A REAL TALENT FOR RUINING THE MOOD.

HEH.. 움찔

NGH... 찌걱...

YOU TOUCH THE RAW NERVES AND RUIN EVERYTHING.

NNNGH...
