He was treating Lee Ye-rin like a dog.

She was like a golden beast with a pretty appearance and a somewhat high intelligence.

It was a beast that could kill if released into the wild.

So it was hard to control it with just the carrot and stick method.

A whip was needed for corporal punishment, and a carrot to beautify things.

Lee Hyun-woo lifted his belt again.

"Soo-Hyun was nearly in trouble... did you actually try to kill Bread?"

"Sniff... Master, I wanted to kill her, but I didn't really mean to kill her. Really... I don't want to go to jail either."

'Fuck. Did she really want to kill her? It's a scary reality that she even thinks like this. Is she even fit to be treated as a human being at this point?'

The more he exchanged with Lee Ye-rin, the more Lee Hyeon-woo's thoughts on her became firmer.

"Do you have any idea what you did wrong?"

"Ugh, yes... It's my fault. Sorry."

"Stop it, just stop it. Don't feel sorry for me. Do you know how your actions are wrong? It's an important question, so don't give me a shoddy answer. Think about it before answering. Whether your actions are wrong or not. Can you accurately judge them?"

"...You aren't going to hit me for what I say?"

"If you answer honestly, I won't hit you."

"Yes... Then... I honestly don't know. Because I didn't... I held back my urges. So I don't think I did anything wrong in this situation."

"I see."

'Indoctrination is also impossible. Well, she must have lived like this for close to 30 years.'

Now, it felt close to impossible for Lee Hyeon-woo to change Ye-rin's perspective.

So he had to focus on preventing her from doing what she shouldn't do by training her discipline and control.

It was sort of like training a dog.

"I understand. Why did noona do this? And you need to create an action plan of what to do next. Think carefully and answer. I have no intention of abandoning my current attitude towards you. If noona does something wrong and doesn't follow my words in the future, I'll punish you again like today. Do you still want to stay with me?"

"Yes! I want to be by your side always... Still, I also want you to love me."

"Think carefully and answer. What I am saying is that you must follow me unconditionally. If I tell you not to visit me, don't visit me, and if I tell you not to contact me, don't contact me. If I tell you not to be jealous, then don't be jealous, and if there's no need for your obsession, then don't be obsessive. If you follow these rules, I'll treat you as you should be treated. But if you don't, I'll punish you again. Can you handle it?"

"That..."

Lee Ye-rin formed a pitiful expression.

However, Lee Hyun-woo was not fooled.

He had to take the initiative at this juncture and set a clear direction for their future relationship.

So that everyone could live.

Hyunwoo Lee continued to egg her for an answer.

"If you don't like these rules, then let's end things here. Do not contact me in the future. Don't even look at me as if we knew each other in the past."

"I hate that idea!"

"If you don't like that, then accept the rules."

"No, why should I yield? Hyunwoo, you can lose to me too... Woo! Why are you hitting me again?!"

Yerin Lee tried to cast her bullshit into the sphere.

But Hyunwoo Lee swung his belt and blocked it in advance.

"Hey, noona. You have a really bad head on your shoulders. I said you'd be fine if you didn't spout any more bullshit. Well, there are two options in front of you now. Will you follow my words? Or will we be living as strangers henceforth? You need to choose between the two. And don't say anything strange."

"Hey... That's really bad options. Why do you keep doing this to me? I hate being treated like this..."

"Ha, you brought out your real personality."

Lee Hyeon-woo roughly grabbed Lee Ye-rin's bangs.

And he looks at her terrifyingly with his eyes meeting Lee Ye-rin's eyes.

As expected, she was a girl that didn't want to bend to his will.

'There must be appropriate coercion and violence to have her obey me.'

"Fuck. Do I look like I'm kidding? When people talk, listen to them. Choose! Will you obey my words? Or will you end the relationship? Is it so difficult to choose between the two?"

"Ha, but..."

"But?! Fuck buts! Choose."

"I want to be with you. But I hate not being loved..."

"Well, that's fine, if you do well, won't you be loved? If you do things I like and say things I like, won't you be pleasing me?"

"That's right..."

"Great. So you want to be with me?"

"Yes..."

"Then, from now on, you will obey my words unconditionally, right?"

"That... That's right, but..."

"Is that right? Are you sure? Make certain of your choice."

"Yes. Okay. I will obey your words unconditionally."

'Done. The first objective was met.'

While he knew it was best to cut ties altogether... it just couldn't be done.

He never knew when or how Lee Ye-rin would have another seizure.

Lee Hyun-woo's nerves weren't strong enough to go about his daily life knowing that there would be a ticking time bomb existing around him.

So placing the bomb out in the open like this was the best way to control it in his mind.

'I think it would be nice to get a few more oaths from her like this, but I can't be hasty at the first hurdle.'

While trying to solve everything in one go, he may inadvertently make the bomb explode.

Now all that remained was to tame her through continuous management and supervision.

"Well said. Look how cute you are when you act like this."

Lee Hyun-woo immediately changed his stance.

He showered her with a soft intonation and humble hand gestures contrary to the force used earlier.

He also untied the rope tied around Lee Ye-rin's wrist.

Because of his amateurish work, the twine had been wrapped a little too strong and she'd resisted, making it dig into the skin and leaving a red mark.

"Even your pretty ass is messed up. Lie down and I'll rub on some medicine."

"Hyunwoo..."

"Why are you crying again? Stop crying. Your face will get all messy otherwise. Don't you only want to show me your pretty side?"

"Aaaaang, Hyeon-Woo! Whoowoo!"
