It was so terrible he absolutely couldn’t tolerate it. Euntae threw down the clothes and ran to the bedroom. Then he opened the wardrobe door and rummaged inside.
“This is… crazy….”
Among the clothes packed tightly in the wardrobe, he couldn’t find a single normal one. His hands were rough as he rifled through the clothes as if he’d tear them apart. This is also baby clothes, that’s also baby clothes…. There wasn’t a single outfit suitable for an adult to wear.
“Aagh! Fuck!”
Euntae threw the last item he checked—a furry outfit with rabbit ears—onto the floor. Before he knew it, around him was a pile of clothes that had fallen from the wardrobe. Kalaha approached behind Euntae, who was huffing and puffing on top of the mess.
“Ha Euntae. Who’s allowing you to act so rudely?”
“Are you… are you kidding me right now? How am I supposed to wear this crap!”
“……”
“I’d rather not wear anything.”
Euntae turned his head irritably. As he glared at the pile of clothes on the floor, he heard chuckling sounds from behind. It was laughter that didn’t fit the serious situation.
An ominous premonition surged instinctively. When he turned around, Kalaha was smiling with the corners of his mouth stretched wide.
“Ah… really funny. ‘I’d rather not wear anything’?”
“……”
“Where do you have a choice? You should be grateful and accept whatever you’re given. How rude.”
With a languid sigh, Kalaha stopped laughing. It felt like a signal that something was about to happen. He instinctively tried to step back, but faster than that, Kalaha grabbed Euntae’s waist.
“Kyaah! Let go! Let me go!”
“Rude children need to be punished until they cry.”
“Put me down!”
Euntae, who had been struggling, was laid down inside the baby crib. With wooden frames blocking all four sides, it felt exactly like being trapped in a prison.
“Huk! Get away! Move!”
Kalaha easily suppressed Euntae’s resistance, then with a stern face, removed the towel wrapped around Euntae’s waist. His lower body instantly became chilly.
“What are you doing! Give the towel back!”
“What nonsense. Just put your clothes on properly. Or do you want to keep your cock out?”
Kalaha flicked Euntae’s glans with his fingertips. It seemed like a light touch, but his entire glans stung as if ringing like a gong.
“Ah! It hurts! Hnngh!”
While Euntae was defenseless from the attack on his vital spot, clothes were quickly put on him. Kalaha’s strength was so great that Euntae couldn’t put up much resistance and accepted the clothes as they were put on him. His arms were pulled and dragged along, his legs spread wide as directed….
In less than 10 seconds, Euntae was fully changed. Moreover, what he’d been dressed in was the pink baby outfit he’d refused earlier. Looking down at his ridiculous appearance, Euntae glared at Kalaha as if to kill him.
“You still won’t reflect even after this?”
Kalaha’s brow furrowed. He thought he’d explained clearly enough for him to understand, but the stupid Earthling didn’t get it at all. It seemed a major punishment was needed. He pulled something out from the storage drawer under the bed.
“What, what is it! What are you trying to do now!”
“Bad hands that swing around recklessly need to be tied up.”
In Kalaha’s hands were fluffy hand mittens. He forcibly pulled Euntae’s wrists and put on the mittens, firmly securing them with the ribbon ties attached as wrist decorations. Then he even connected the ends of the ribbons to the crib frame.
“Untie this! Untie it right now!”
“Yeah. Cute.”
Watching Euntae struggle hard enough to shake the crib frame, Kalaha chuckled. The hands with white mittens on them looked cute like cotton balls.
“Didn’t Euntae clearly say he wanted to be a baby? So I’m treating you like a baby, but why are you acting like this?”
“Fuck, who asked for this shit?!”
“Then I should throw away this kind of bed right away and lock you in a beast cage. Euntae seems to want to become livestock.”
“……”
“You saw the animal carved on the bathroom doorknob, right? It’s called a Posi, similar to Earth’s lion. Though it’s five times larger than a lion. I happen to be raising one in the backyard. Should I give the Posi a special treat? I haven’t fed it an Earthling, so if you’re lucky, maybe it won’t eat you.”
Kalaha made a growling beast sound and pretended to eat Euntae. His two hands with sharpened nails struck toward Euntae’s face.
“Urk…!”
However, the threateningly approaching hands lightly brushed past Euntae’s cheeks.
Euntae, who had squeezed his eyes shut, slowly lifted his eyelids. He was so tense that the white fur on his cheeks stood on end.
Seeing Kalaha’s grinning face, he couldn’t tell whether what he’d just said was a simple joke or serious.
“You don’t seem to believe me?”
Kalaha touched the device on his wrist several times. Then the backyard scenery unfolded before Euntae’s eyes. It wasn’t simply turning on a screen. It was as if they’d suddenly dropped into the backyard—vivid nature surrounded them.
“Popo, Daddy’s here. Where are you?”
When Kalaha whistled a few times, a beast as big as a house burst out from deep in the forest. The beast that had looked like a dot reached right in front of Euntae’s nose in the blink of an eye.
“Hyaaaak!”
At the sight of the beast large enough to block out the sun, Euntae screamed.
“Haha. Have you been well, Popo?”
Popo expressed its joy by rumbling in its throat. The beast wagging its tail in front of its master, however, bared its teeth as soon as it saw Euntae. The beast’s pupils narrowed as if spotting prey.
“Heu, uuu….”
Seeing Popo gradually approaching, Euntae felt to his bones what it meant when they say your legs go weak. He backed away with a butt-scoot until his back pressed against the crib frame, and there was nowhere left to retreat.
The teeth visible between the beast’s gaping maw were sharp. Just when he thought he’d die like this, Popo stretched out its crouched body all at once and lunged at Euntae.
“Aaaah!”
He couldn’t die so futilely. Euntae widened his eyes and swung his untied legs. When he stretched his foot with all his might toward the beast’s nose, his toes passed transparently through the beast. He didn’t feel any physical contact on his foot.
“Huh?”
“Did I scare you? Did you think it was real?”
When Kalaha touched the device on his wrist, the backyard scenery repeatedly blurred and sharpened. So this was all fake. A fake so vivid it seemed real.
Realizing he’d been deceived, rage shot to the top of his head. The act of toying with someone’s life was nauseating.
“Turn this off right now! Fuck, is this fun? You crazy bastard! You deserve to die!”
“The one who’ll die isn’t me, it’s you. Next time it won’t be fake, it’ll be real. Popo, bite!”
Upon hearing the command, Popo immediately lunged at Euntae. Even knowing it was fake, Euntae flinched in surprise. Popo bit at the air toward the prey it couldn’t chew.
“You son of a bitch! Get rid of this right now!”
“Why? Euntae is livestock. You should get along well with your fellow animals. You’ll be living together soon anyway.”
“Why am I livestock? I’m human!”
“I clearly gave you a choice twice. Baby or livestock. But you’re the one who chose livestock.”
“……”
There was no getting through to him. Euntae clenched his fists so hard they could crumble from frustration. Not that it showed since they were wrapped in mittens, but he was angry nonetheless. He, an adult male, who had never been intimidated anywhere, was treated as nothing but livestock or a baby here.
“Why do I have to… fucking hell, shit….”
“I didn’t know raising a child would be this hard either. I’m starting to get tired of it. So I’ll ask one last time. Euntae, are you a baby or livestock?”
Kalaha asked halfheartedly while tending to his cuticles. He didn’t even look at Euntae, like someone truly tired of it all. Euntae quickly turned his head at this crossroads of life and death.
‘If I say livestock, he’ll abandon me next to that Popo or whatever beast? What kind of ridiculous question is this? There’s only one answer.’
It was a question with a predetermined answer. But when it came to actually saying those words, his lips simply wouldn’t part. The longer the silence stretched, the more boredom spread across Kalaha’s face.
“Fine. Now take off your clothes. Clothing is a luxury for livestock.”
“Wait! I get it…!”
When Kalaha really tried to undress Euntae, Euntae stopped him in fright.
“What do you get?”
“I-I’ll be a baby, so stop.”
“I don’t need a rude baby. You should be begging and pleading to be raised… what? You’ll be a baby so stop?”
Kalaha snorted and unbuttoned Euntae’s clothes. The bottom part, made to easily change diapers, opened wide, fully exposing his groin. Popo, who had been lurking nearby, licked its lips at the sight of the exposed dick. The beast’s drool dripped steadily onto the pubic hair.
