Daldal: Main story

Chapter 48

Lying on the ground, Dong-chi casually whistled while tapping his foot. It seemed like sleep wouldn't come easily for him.

He reached into his pants and started fondling his cock. With no money for the brothel and the woman showing no interest... well, he had to entertain himself.

"If only that bastard was around."

Lately, a face kept coming to mind every time he masturbated himself. It was Eun-oh, a guy he once shared a room with.

Why the face of a guy, not a woman, emerged during such moments was perplexing. It was uncomfortable, but what could he do? It just happened.

When he first saw him, Eun-oh seemed ugly.
However, after spending a few days in the main courtyard, he noticeably transformed.
His appearance became more clean, and there was a faint fragrance about him.

Dong-chi had never considered a guy as a side dish in his life. He had no desire to dig into the back hole.

But Eun-oh was different, intriguing in a peculiar way.

In simple terms, Dong-chi found Eun-oh attractive. If he had known how to do sodomy, he would have put it inside a long time ago.

There were times when he felt regretful that he couldn't do that. Especially now, considering that, after all, a hole was just a hole, whether it belonged to a woman or a man.

Sigh...

The more Dong-chi touched, the more aroused he became. Dong-chi closed his eyes, fully engrossed in self-indulgence.

And then, after a while...

Bang!

With a loud crash, the door swung open, as if it might shatter. Moreover, someone entered without even taking off their shoes.

"What the...! Fucking!"

Startled by the unexpected intrusion, Dong-chi hastily stood up and unleashed a string of curses. Who barges in without any warning? Well, one shouldn't expect manners from such folks, but still, it warranted a good round of profanity.

But that was as far as it went. Just as
Dong-chi was about to continue yelling, he recognized the intruder and froze.

"No, no. How could you enter my room..."

The intruder was none other than Yohwan.

If you were to rank individuals in Chae Ga-won by status after the Young Master, Yohwan would undoubtedly be at the top.

Knowing this, instead of protesting the rude intrusion, Dong-chi found himself kneeling in submission.

Yohwan asked, "Are you the snorer?"

"What? snorer?"

It was not a feigned ignorance but a genuine response of not knowing. In response, Yohwan, with a furrowed brow, changed his question.

"Are you the one who shared a room with a boy named Eun-oh?"

With Yohwan's more specific question,
Dong-chi sensed a foreboding atmosphere. Even if he wanted to deny or stay silent, he couldn't. Yohwan's menacing sword at his hip left no room for such choices.

"Well, yes, sir. But why is that a concern? Ek!"

As soon as confirmation was given, Yohwan mercilessly grabbed Dong-chi by the nape. Dong-chi couldn't resist and was dragged out. Despite having a decent build and some strength, he lacked the ability to endure.

Dong-chi, pulled out of the room, stumbled into the front yard. Wrapping his arms around the arm that hit the ground, he groaned as if he were about to die.

"Oh! I'm dying!"

However, the theatrics ended there.

"It's him, Young Master."

At Yohwan's report, Dong-chi opened his eyes. Young Master? How could the Young Master be here?

He lifted his head apprehensively, bracing for the worst. The first thing that caught his eye was the black attire. Then, the revelation unfolded. His eyes ascended, locking onto the face of the Young Master.

Huk! Startled, Dong-chi made a choking sound. "Y-Young Master!"

Why had the Young master come all the way here to seek a mere slave? It was an unusual occurrence. In this moment, what came to Dong-chi's mind were the images of the armless Mr Cho and the eyeless Gak-sae, both meeting unfortunate fates.

"Why have Young Master come here, and why would you...? What's happening to me...?"

His head was spinning, and coherent words wouldn't come out. What business could a lowly field laborer have with the Young master?

The unaddressed question lingered in silence for a while. The Young master's silence, by nature, intensified the slave's anxiety.

Only when beads of sweat emerged on
Dong-chi's forehead, immersed in anxiety and fear, did Chae Yoon-sa break the silence.

"I"

Even with the brief introduction, Dong-chi's eyeballs trembled significantly.

"I've been thinking all night."

It was a pitch less tone. It was impossible to read the mood and emotions.

"As for whether I should use you as a target or handle you like a rare creature, the conclusion is the latter. So, from now on, you will be a beast."

Dong-chi didn't comprehend the following words, but a shiver ran down his spine.

"I will hunt."

Beast and hunting - expressions closely related. Only now did Dong-chi understand the meaning, and his expression turned from confusion to sheer horror.

"Now that you seem to understand, shall we begin?"

Chae Yoon-sa's expression, announcing the beginning of murder, was eerily calm, making it all the more creepy.

Chae Yoon-sa extended his hand to the side. Upon this gesture, Yohwan handed over a bow.

"Five arrows."

He pointed with his finger to the quiver that Yohwan had carried on his shoulder.

"If you survive until I use up all of that, I'll give up."

Of course, everyone knew that the chances of that happening were drastically low. The condition he presented was more of a cruel hope torture than a realistic expectation.

"Young Master, spare me! I'll do anything if you spare my life!"

Knowing too well that survival in this hunt was nearly impossible, Dong-chi pleaded. He didn't try to inquire about the reason; he had to secure his life first.

"Beasts can't speak. Learn that if you didn't already." It meant begging was useless.

"Young Master! Oh, Young master! Please!"

Dong-chi clasped his hands together, bowing as if beseeching the divine powers. However, Chae Yoon-sa casually took out an arrow and affixed it to the bowstring.

"Now, what you have to do is simple. Run for your life. You can go anywhere. Just don't get caught too easily."

The arrowhead on the bowstring precisely aimed at Dong-chi's forehead.

Chae Yoon-sa ordered

"Run."
