Chapter 4 – A big pinch!

“Mm . . .”

It was so bright that I woke up. I opened my heavy eyelids and saw a gleaming chandelier radiating a pink light, illuminating the surroundings around me.

Where in the world am I?

My head felt fuzzy and I couldn’t remember why I was here. Too sluggish to lift my arms, I turned over on the bed. There was no window, and a big TV was placed on a plain shelf. Next to it, I could see something that looked like a small vending machine.

In the center of the room was a bed and a small two-seater sofa. On a low table was a basket of snacks, and next to it was a flyer depicting a woman in a pose often seen in AVs, which surprised me.

Could it be that this place was the so-called love hotel—?

I had a bad feeling and sprang up in a hurry. Luckily, Akira didn’t seem to be within sight.

It was now or never for escape!

With that thought, I tried to stand up. At that moment, my knees buckled and I lost my balance.

My body felt so sluggish and I couldn’t get my body to work properly. What was this . . . ?

Could it be that the juice I drank earlier was spiked?

I couldn’t believe it, but maybe he did something to me while I was sleeping . . .

I could feel the blood draining out of me. I was still wearing the uniform, so it looked like he didn’t do anything to me while I was asleep.

But this situation was very bad no matter how I looked at it. I had to get out of here as soon as possible—

Just as I thought of that, I heard the sound of a doorknob turning in the quiet room.

Startled, I turned my head toward the sound and saw a half-naked Akira from inside the door, wiping his wet hair with a towel.

Amazing . . . He had a manly body, just as I expected. I couldn’t tell when he was wearing clothes, but his abdomen didn’t have excess fat at all. He exuded the scent of a man, or rather, excessive sex appeal overflowed from him. I couldn’t help but fawn over him.

He gave off the same vibe of the sexy actors on the covers of women’s magazines and the like.

What am I thinking?!

“Oh, so you’re awake already.”

A low voice echoed, Akira who had noticed me approached me slowly.

I felt an overwhelming atmosphere. An aura that made me feel suffocated.

My heart beats faster with each step as he gets closer, and cold sweat beads slid down my back.

The door that led outside was probably the green door that I could see behind Akira. If I could somehow slip past him, I might be able to get out. But just like a frog that was being glared at by a snake, I couldn’t move my body.

To tell the truth, I was very scared. My body was cowering in fear of the unknown.

What would happen to me now?

I glanced up at him, and he was smiling at me with his almond eyes. His face looked calm, but his eyes weren’t smiling at all.

“There’s one thing I want to ask . . . Is that your hobby?”

“Huh?”

A question was thrown at me before I could utter a word, and I couldn’t help but let out a ridiculous voice.

For a moment, I was confused and didn’t know what he was talking about. Then he slowly stretched out his arm and touched my head.

“This. Do you have this kind of hobby, Haru?”

He whispered in a low voice to my ear and I tried to hold my head down in a panic. However, Akira was quicker in grabbing my hair.

The wig was removed and carelessly tossed to the side of the bed, and my head felt strange, being exposed to the open air.

“. . . Do you want to explain what’s the meaning of this, Haru?”

“I knew it,” he sighed somewhat angrily, and my body tensed up more and more.

I was in the biggest trouble right now. I couldn’t move my body as I wanted to because he drugged me, and even if I called for help, no one would come because this was a love hotel. If I were to be killed here, would the news headline be “Murder of a crossdressing boy”?

I didn’t want that!!

A chilling scene came to mind and I got goosebumps. I was too scared to look at Akira’s face.

“. . . So you tried to trick me?”

“Umm, I’m so sorry!”

A piercing voice rang out and he grabbed me by the chin. I was half forced to turn my face toward Akira.

It was so scary. His low voice and his handsome face were petrifying.

The aura, or rather the atmosphere around him also felt so terrifying that I felt like crying.

I had to escape somehow, but my body became rigid as if I was in sleep paralysis.

“So you apologize . . . Seems you’re aware that you did a bad thing.”

Heh. I felt like the corner of Akira’s mouth turned up slightly.

“Well, well, bad kids need to be punished.”

“Huh?”

Punishment.

I couldn’t believe my ears at the unpleasant word. I wasn’t a small kid who needed to be punished.

Before I could understand what was happening, my arm was suddenly yanked and my vision went dark. Just like that, I got pushed down on the bed and he hovered above me.

I didn’t want to believe it, but could it be that the punishment he was talking about was . . .
