FunTranscript
00:00When sex addiction hit, my bones felt sour, as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at me,
00:06even breathing hurt. Back then, I had stared at the drug order page on my phone over and over
00:12again. I thought that if I used it, he wouldn't look at me with those eyes anymore. He wouldn't
00:18hide, but then I'd remember his tense spine, his trembling ears, and the pure resistance in his
00:23eyes. The thought would vanish. I knew what it felt like to be forced into things.
00:30How could I bear to use drugs on him? I didn't even use the collars or chains that other
00:35Guardian used. I prepared a room for him, bought him the latest phone, and gave him a supplementary
00:41credit card. I did everything I could to let him live like a free human, but I didn't expect
00:46that in his eyes, I was that kind of person. I snatched it away and downed the water in
00:55one bite. Every single drop. I finished it all. Wiping the water from the corner of my
01:03mouth, I looked him straight in the eye. No drugs. His Adam's gonald bobbed. After two
01:09seconds, his face darkened again.
01:11Then what exactly are you trying to do?
01:14I really don't need you today. You can go. He finally realized my refusal wasn't a game
01:19of hard to get.
01:21Chloe, I gave you a chance. When your condition hits, and you're crying from the pain, don't
01:27you dare come to the training grounds to beg me!
01:29With that, Liam turned and left. The door slammed shut behind him, the force shaking
01:35the walls. I stood there dazed for a moment, before slowly moving to the study. I pulled
01:40out the shifter contract agreement that had been tucked away for three years. There were
01:44two prints on it. One was mine. A small, oval index fingerprint. The other was a paw print.
01:49Shifter transactions were never a one-sided choice by humans. I still remember the crowded
01:53exchange that day. The shifters in the cages were either fanning or numb, all trying to get
01:58close to the passersby. Only Liam, in his original shape, had hadn't even lifted his head. I had
02:04only intended to look around the elite section. But when I passed his cage, he suddenly looked
02:09up, stared straight at me, and pressed his paw against the glass. The staff smiled and said
02:15he had chosen me. Normally, elite shifters rarely chose average people like me. I thought
02:20he liked me. I brought him home, overjoyed. Only after getting home did I realize Lima had
02:26a cold caricature. He didn't like to smile or talk. Even a slight touch made his fur bristle.
02:32I told myself he just wasn't used to the new environment. So, I gave him plenty of personal
02:37space. Considering he was an elite shifter, I cut back on my own expenses to buy him the
02:43best supplies. I thought that one day, he would be willing to get close to me, like other companion
02:48shifter. But three years passed in the blink of an eye. No matter how much I tried to please
02:54him, he remained lukewarm. Every time I wanted a bit of immacy, I had to coax him carefully
03:00and beg him humbly, just to get his quick and done charity. I didn't want to endure this
03:05humiliation anymore. I wiped the tears from my eyes and dialed the number for the shifter
03:10companion center. Just as I was about to head out, my phone buzzed. It was from Liam. I paused
03:16before opening it. It was a video from the training grounds. The camera shook slightly. Shouts and
03:22the dull thumps of equipment echoed in the background. Then, Liam's voice came through,
03:26tentative and eager to please.
03:28Uh, instructor, is this angle okay?
03:31Suddenly, the camera jolted violently.
03:33Then it plunged downward, cutting to black. Liam's voice rang out more frantic than ever.
03:38Whoa, Serena! Are you okay? Come on, I'll carry you to the infirmary.
03:44Serena's voice carried a hint of a smile.
03:46Oh, no need. I can walk on my own. Liam's voice was incredibly soft.
03:51Ah, don't worry about me. You're light as air, instructor. Not heavy at all.
03:56I stood in the entryway, gripping the phone tight. Our house has two floors. Last month,
04:01I missed a step and twisted my ankle. Back then, I sat at the stairs with red-rimmed eyes,
04:07begging him to carry me to the hospital. He just stood there with his arms crossed, staring
04:12at me. His voice was thick with contempt. You're pathetic. Falling down the stairs like
04:17a complete idiot? Are your eyes just for show? Back then, lying on his back, I was still making
04:22excuses for him. He's just sharp-tongued, I told myself. At least he's still carrying
04:27me. But looking back, I was just deluding myself the whole time. My phone buzzed. The video
04:33was retracted, followed by a new text. I stared at the message, but didn't reply. I grabbed
04:40the contract agreement and headed out. At the front desk, the receptionist greeted me
04:45with a smile. How can I help you today? I handed over the document. I want to transfer
04:50my shifter. May I ask the reason for the transfer? I hesitated for a moment. Personality chash.
04:56The receptionist nodded, typing away on her computer. The transfer process takes some
05:00time. Would you like to look at some new shifters while you wait? We just got several
05:03new breeds. I nodded. Fine. As I followed her, my phone buzzed again. It was from Liam.
05:10Just a single question mark. I knew exactly what he meant. Usually, I replied instantly.
05:16Even in the shower, I'd dry my hands to text back within three seconds. But it had been
05:20an hour since his wrong person text. And I hadn't said a word. I glanced at the blowing
05:26screen that didn't even bother opening the message. Shoving the communicator back into
05:30my pocket. The shifters scrambled forward, clawing at the bars and wagging their tails and blinking
05:36desperately to win my favor. Hearing that I wanted someone warm and clingy, the staff
05:41member eagerly pointed at the cages. Look at this beagle. They're famous for being affectionate.
05:48Top rated by all their guardians. And this fox, stunning looks, knows exactly how to please.
05:54He's one of our best sellers. And then there's...
05:57My eyes were drawn to a cage at the very back. The shifter inside was curled in a corner,
06:03limbs bound by heavy shackles. He even wore a metal muzzle over his face. All I could see
06:09were a pair of dull, lifeless gray eyes. Is that one for contract too?
06:14Oh, yes. Man, he's a white lion shifter we rescued from an underground fighting pit last week. But
06:21geez, he was abused for years and pumped with illegal drugs. His hormones are a mess. He goes
06:25into heat almost every month. No one wants to contract with him. The vet said if we can't
06:28find a way to stabilize him soon, oh man, he'll have to be euthanited. The staff member kept talking,
06:34but I only caught a few key words. Something stirred inside me. I walked toward him slowly.
06:47I want him. The transfer contract was printed. I only needed Serena's signature on the last page.
06:54I took a car to the military training grounds. I reached Serena's office, but as I was about to
07:01knock, voices drifted out. Ah, instructor, let me massage that for you. Oh, you're so clingy.
07:08Won't your guardian be angry if she finds out? Mh, let her be. She's melodramatic anyway.
07:12Ugh, she cries over every little thing. It's annoying as hell.
07:17In this society, there are two types of shifters. One is companion shifter, bought and sold like pets,
07:23kept to please their guardians. The other is no different from humans. They can go to school,
07:27work, and have full civil rights. But even in this world of rules, there are still
07:31those who are never given a choice. When I bought Liam, I never intended to treat him like a pet.
07:36I didn't want him labeled a companion forever, living at someone's mercy. I went through hell
07:41to get him where he is. I pulled every string my family had and spent a fortune to get him
07:46into
07:46the military just so he could be treated like a human. But he completely forgot about me.
07:52Now, he spends all his time sucking up to his instructor.
07:55Back at the contract, I only signed with her because she seemed like a pusover.
07:59If I'd known she was going to be this clingy, shit, I would have picked anyone but her.
08:03I froze outside the door. I really thought he chose me out of that massive crowd because he
08:09actually liked me. When I first brought him home, he was all over my social media. I couldn't stop
08:14bragging to my best friend about him. I told everyone he was the hottest high-rank shifter out there.
08:18A bit cold, maybe, but I thought he treated me differently. Turns out, he just thought I was a
08:23pushover. He only signed the contract because he thought I'd be easy to manipulate.
08:27All that talk about a special connection or mutual choice was just a joke I told myself.
08:32Liam walked out, a smile on his face. He looked like he was in a great mood. The moment he
08:35saw
08:36me on the hallway bench, his smile vanished. His tail stiffened for half a second before
08:39wagging violently, but after two wags, it stopped.
08:43Damn, are you blind? Didn't you see my messages?
08:50Fine, come with me.
08:57Jeez, are you really that desperate that you followed me all the way here?
09:00Ugh, I'm telling you, I have training soon. Don't hold me up.
09:07Where have you been? You reek of all sorts of smells. Disgusting.
09:11His voice had a grinding, teeth-clenched edge.
09:13Ugh, are you that desperate? So desperate that you've lost all shame? Shit, you already have a
09:18shifter, yet you go out and mix with those low-grade shrifters?
09:23Me, unreasonable, absolute loyalty and absolute obedience to one's guardian is a shifter's instinct
09:28etched into their soul. But Liam, when I had an attack and curled up on the sofa pane calling him,
09:35he said he was training with his instructor and hung up faster than anyone.
09:42I barely managed to beg him for intimacy, and one call from Serena was enough to drag him away.
09:50When I fell down the stairs, he was full of complaints. When Serena twisted her ankle,
09:55he was so worried he wished he were the one hurt. You'd think Serena was his guardian, not me.
10:00Looking at his self-right-fit expression, the argument on my lips died before it came out.
10:07I turned my face away. I'm not here for you today, I'm here for Serena.
10:12Hey, what do you want with her?
10:14Listen up, I'm warning you, this is a military base. If you have a problem, take it out on me.
10:19Don't bother instructor Serena's rest. Oh please, her status, someone like you can't mess with her.
10:24If you dare pull any of your cheap little tricks here!
10:28Liam, is that really what you think of me?
10:31Who knows what you...
10:32I didn't wait for him to finish. I walked around him and headed straight to Serena's office.
10:38Serena was sitting in her office chair, her ankle wrapped in thick white bandages.
10:42Even so, she still looked sharp and capable. Seeing me come in, she smiled.
10:47You're here?
10:48I walked out of the office with the signed contract and ran right into Liam, leaning against the hallway wall.
10:54His ears were perked up high, his head tilted toward the door, clearly eavesdropping.
10:59When he saw me come out, a flash of panic crossed his face, and he straightened up immediately.
11:04I'm not going back today.
11:06After saying that, he turned his face away, but kept glancing at me from the corner of his eye.
11:11Before, Liam had also stayed at the base when he was mad at me.
11:16Every time, I'd coax him gently, and only then would he give in.
11:20But this time, I didn't say a single soft word.
11:23Stay as long as you want.
11:24I even ended up in the hospital.
11:26Because of this, I specifically contracted with an elite black wolf shifter named Liam.
11:33But he was cold.
11:34Every time I tried to get close, he was reluctant.
11:38When I touched him, his ears would tremble as he snapped.
11:42Do you have no shame?
11:44When I threw myself on him, he'd turn red with anger.
11:47Oh my god. Is that all you ever think about?
11:50When my condition flared up, and I clinged to him, he'd be panting.
11:55Jesus Christ! You're the most shameless human I've ever met!
11:59Once again, when I wanted to get close to Liam, he grabbed his own tail and backed away,
12:04looking like he couldn't stand for me to touch him.
12:06I'd rather have stayed in the shifter companion center forever than be contracted by you.
12:11My heart stung.
12:12I finally made up my mind to give him to the female instructor he liked most, Serena.
12:20As for me, I'd go contract with a new shifter.
12:23Tomorrow.
12:25Liam grumbled while unbuttoning his shirt.
12:27Fine. Come here. Let's get this over with.
12:30I shook my head, losing all interest.
12:32Forget it. Not today.
12:34Liam, who had already started unzippered his pants, froze in place.
12:38Probably for the first time ever, Liam was completely stunned.
12:42Usually, the moment he gave in, I would impatiently pounce on him and start tearing at his clothes.
12:47But today, I did nothing. I didn't even give him a second glance.
12:52His tail, which had been swaying slightly behind him, stiffed in mid-air.
12:57His eyes were filled with disbelief.
12:59Wait. Are you sure? You aren't...
13:03Liam's eyes flickered toward the glass of warm water on the desk.
13:07He suddenly sneered.
13:09His tail lifted again, swaying slowly with a hint of mockery.
13:13Huh. Planning to drug me, are you?
13:18And held it against the light.
13:23Sheesh. Where did you learn such a pathetic trick?
13:26It was Empanion Shifter could be forced into heat with drugs for partners to make them follow orders.
13:31I wouldn't say I hadn't thought about it.
13:33When sex addiction hit, my bones felt sour, as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at me, even breathing hurt.
13:41Back then, I had stared at the drug order page on my phone over and over again.
13:46I thought that if I used it, he wouldn't look at me with those eyes anymore.
13:51He wouldn't hide.
13:52But then I'd remember his tense spine, his trembling ears, and the pure resistance in his eyes.
13:59The thought would vanish.
14:01I knew what it felt like to be forced into things.
14:03How could I bear to use drugs on him?
14:06I didn't even use the collars or chains that other guardian used.
14:10I prepared a room for him, bought him the latest phone, and gave him a supplementary credit card.
14:15I did everything I could to let him live like a free human.
14:19But I didn't expect that in his eyes, I was that kind of person.
14:26I snatched it away and downed the water in one bite.
14:30Every single drop.
14:31I finished it all.
14:35Wiping the water from the corner of my mouth, I looked him straight in the eye.
14:39No drugs.
14:40His Adam's Gonald bothered.
14:42After two seconds, his face darkened again.
14:45Then what exactly are you trying to do?
14:48I really don't need you today.
14:50You can go.
14:50He finally realized my refusal wasn't a game of hard to get.
14:55Chloe, I gave you a chance.
14:57When your condition hits, and you're crying from the pain,
15:01don't you dare come to the training grounds to beg me!
15:03With that, Liam turned and left.
15:06The door slammed shut behind him, the force shaking the walls.
15:09I stood there dazed for a moment, before slowly moving to the study.
15:13I pulled out the shifter contract agreement that had been tucked away for three years.
15:17There were two prints on it.
15:19One was mine.
15:19A small, oval index fingerprint.
15:22The other was a paw print.
15:23Shifter transactions were never a one-sided choice by humans.
15:26I still remember the crowded exchange that day.
15:28The shifters in the cages were either fanning or numb,
15:31all trying to get close to the passersby.
15:34Only Liam, in his original shape, had hadn't even lifted his head.

15:41But when I passed his cage, he suddenly looked up,
15:44stared straight at me, and pressed his paw against the glass.
15:47The staff smiled and said he had chosen me.
15:50Normally, elite shifters rarely chose average people like me.
15:53I thought he liked me.
15:55I brought him home, overjoyed.
15:57Only after getting home, did I realize Lima had a cold caricature.
16:01He didn't like to smile or talk.
16:03Even a slight touch made his fur bristle.
16:06I told myself he just wasn't used to the new environment.
16:09So, I gave him plenty of personal space.
16:12Considering he was an elite shifter,
16:14I cut back on my own expenses to buy him the best supplies.
16:18I thought that one day, he would be willing to get close to me,
16:21like other companion shifter.
16:23But three years passed in the blink of an eye.
16:26No matter how much I tried to please him,
16:28he remained lukewarm.
16:30Every time I wanted a bit of intimacy,
16:32I had to coax him carefully,
16:34and beg him humbly,
16:36just to get his quick-and-done charity.
16:38I didn't want to endure this humiliation anymore.
16:40I wiped the tears from my eyes,
16:42and dialed the number for the shifter companion center.
16:45Just as I was about to head out,
16:47my phone buzzed.
16:48It was from Liam.
16:49I paused before opening it.
16:51It was a video from the training grounds.
16:53The camera shook slightly.
16:55Shouts and the dull thumps of equipment echoed in the background.
16:58Then, Liam's voice came through,
17:00tentative and eager to please.
17:02Uh, instructor,
17:04is this angle okay?
17:05Suddenly, the camera jolted violently,
17:07but then it plunged downward,
17:09cutting to black.
17:10Liam's voice rang out more frantic than ever.
17:12Whoa, Serena!
17:14Are you okay?
17:15Come on, I'll carry you to the infirmary.
17:18Serena's voice carried a hint of a smile.
17:20Oh, no need.
17:21I can walk on my own.
17:23Liam's voice was incredibly soft.
17:25Ah, don't worry about me.
17:26Amy, you're light as air, instructor.
17:28Not heavy at all.
17:29I stood in the entryway,
17:31gripping the phone tight.
17:32Our house has two floors.

17:38Back then, I sat at the stairs with red-rimmed eyes,
17:41begging him to carry me to the hospital.
17:44He just stood there with his arms crossed,
17:46staring at me.
17:47His voice was thick with contempt.
17:49You're pathetic.
17:50Falling down the stairs like a complete idiot?
17:52Are your eyes just for show?
17:53Back then, lying on his back,
17:55I was still making excuses for him.
17:57He's just sharp-tongued, I told myself.
17:59At least he's still carrying me.
18:01But looking back,
18:02I was just deluding myself the whole time.
18:05My phone buzzed.
18:07The video was retracted,
18:09followed by a new text.
18:11I stared at the message,
18:12but didn't reply.
18:13I grabbed the contract agreement
18:15and headed out.
18:16At the front desk,
18:17the receptionist greeted me with a smile.
18:19How can I help you today?
18:21I handed over the document.
18:23I want to transfer my shifter.
18:24May I ask the reason for the transfer?
18:26I hesitated for a moment.
18:29Personality, chash.
18:30The receptionist nodded,
18:31typing away on her computer.
18:33The transfer process takes some time.
18:35Would you like to look at some new shifters while you wait?
18:36We just got several new breathes?
18:38I nodded.
18:39Fine.
18:40As I followed her,
18:41my phone buzzed again.
18:43It was from Liam.
18:44Just a single question mark.

20:00No one wants to contract with him.

20:21I want him.

20:38Ah, instructor.
20:39Let me massage that for you.
20:40Oh, you're so clingy.
20:42Won't your guardian be angry if she finds out?

21:23But he completely forgot about me.
21:25Now, he spends all his time sucking up to his instructor.
21:29Back at the contract, I only signed with her because she seemed like a pusover.
21:33If I'd known she was going to be this clingy,
21:35shit, I would have picked anyone but her.
21:37I froze outside the door.
21:39I really thought he chose me out of that massive crowd because he actually liked me.
21:44When I first brought him home, he was all over my social media.
21:47I couldn't stop bragging to my best friend about him.
21:49I told everyone he was the hottest high-ranked shifter out there.
21:52A bit cold, maybe, but I thought he treated me differently.
21:56Turns out, he just thought I was a pushover.
21:58He only signed the contract because he thought I'd be easy to manipulate.
22:01All that talk about a special connection or mutual choice was just a joke I told myself.
22:05Liam walked out, a smile on his face.
22:07He looked like he was in a great mood.
22:09The moment he saw me on the hallway bench, his smile vanished.
22:12His tail stiffened for half a second before wagging violently.
22:14But after two wags, it stopped.
22:17Damn, are you blind?
22:19Didn't you see my messages?
22:24Fine, come with me.
22:31Jeez, are you really that desperate that you followed me all the way here?
22:34I'm telling you, I have training soon.
22:36Don't hold me up.
22:41Where have you been?
22:42You reek of all sorts of smells.
22:44Disgusting.
22:45His voice had a grinding, teeth-clenched edge.
22:47Are you that desperate?
22:49So desperate that you've lost all shame?
22:51Shit, you already have a shifter, yet you go out and mix with those low-grade shrifters?
22:56Me, unreasonable, absolute loyalty and absolute obedience to one's guardian is a shifter's instinct, etched into their soul.
23:04But Liam, when I had an attack and curled up on the sofa pane calling him, he said he was
23:10training with his instructor and hung up faster than anyone.
23:16I barely managed to beg him for intimacy.
23:20And one call from Serena was enough to drag him away.
23:24When I fell down the stairs, he was full of complaints.
23:27When Serena twisted her ankle, he was so worried he wished he were the one hurt.
23:31You'd think Serena was his guardian, not me.
23:34Looking at his self-right-fit expression, the argument on my lips died before it came out.
23:41I turned my face away.
23:43I'm not here for you today, I'm here for Serena.
23:46Hey, what do you want with her?
23:48Listen up, I'm warning you, this is a military base.
23:51If you have a problem, take it out on me.
23:53Don't bother instructor Serena's rest.
23:55Oh please, her status, someone like you can't mess with her.
23:58If you dare pull any of your cheap little tricks here!
24:02Liam, is that really what you think of me?
24:05Who knows what you...
24:07I didn't wait for him to finish.
24:09I walked around him and headed straight to Serena's office.
24:12Serena was sitting in her office chair, her ankle wrapped in thick white bandages.
24:17Even so, she still looked sharp and capable.
24:19Seeing me come in, she smiled.
24:21You're here?
24:22I walked out of the office with the signed contract and ran right into Liam,
24:26leaning against the hallway wall.
24:28His ears were perked up high, his head tilted toward the door, clearly eavesdropping.
24:33When he saw me come out, a flash of panic crossed his face,
24:35and he straightened up immediately.
24:38I'm not going back today.
24:40After saying that, he turned his face away, but kept glancing at me from the corner of
24:45his eye.
24:45Before, Liam had also stayed at the base when he was mad at me.
24:49Every time, I'd coax him gently, and only then would he give in.
24:54But this time, I didn't set a single soft word.
24:57Stay as long as you want.
24:58I want to transfer my shifter.
25:00May I ask the reason for the transfer?
25:02I hesitated for a moment.
25:05Personality chash.
25:06The receptionist nodded, typing away on her computer.
25:08The transfer process takes some time.
25:10Would you like to look at some new shifters while you wait?
25:12We just got several new breeds.
25:13I nodded.
25:15Fine.
25:15As I followed her, my phone buzzed again.
25:19It was from Liam.
25:20Just a single question mark.
25:21I knew exactly what he meant.
25:23Usually, I replied instantly.
25:25Even in the shower, I'd dry my hands to text back within three seconds.
25:29But it had been an hour since his wrong person text.
25:32And I hadn't said a word.
25:34I glanced at the blowing screen, but didn't even bother opening the message.
25:38Shoving the communicator back into my pocket.
25:40The shifter scrambled forward, clawing at the bars and wagging their tails and blinking desperately to win my favor.
25:47Hearing that I wanted someone warm and clingy, the staff member eagerly pointed at the cages.
25:53Look at this beagle.
25:55They're famous for being affectionate.
25:57Top rated by all their guardians.
25:59And this fox, stunning looks, knows exactly how to please.
26:04He's one of our best sellers.
26:06And then there's...
26:07My eyes were drawn to a cage at the very back.
26:10The shifter inside was curled in a corner, limbs bound by heavy shackles.
26:14He even wore a metal muzzle over his face.
26:17All I could see were a pair of dull, lifeless gray eyes.
26:21Is that one for contract too?
26:23Oh, yes.
26:25Man, he's a white lion shifter we rescued from an underground fighting pit last week.
26:30But geez, he was abused for years and pumped with illegal drugs.
26:33His hormones are a mess.
26:34He goes into heat almost every month.
26:36No one wants to contract with him.
26:37The vet said if we can't find a way to stabilize him soon.
26:39Oh man, he'll have to be euthanited.
26:42The staff member kept talking, but I only caught a few key words.
26:46Something stirred inside me.
26:49I walked toward him slowly.
26:57I want him.
26:59The transfer contract was printed.
27:01I only needed Serena's signature on the last page.
27:03I took a car to the military training grounds.
27:08I reached Serena's office, but as I was about to knock, voices drifted out.
27:13Ah, instructor.
27:14Let me massage that for you.
27:16Oh, you're so clingy.
27:17Won't your guardian be angry if she finds out?
27:19Mh, let her be.
27:20She's melodramatic anyway.
27:22Ugh, she cries over every little thing.
27:24It's annoying as hell.
27:27In this society, there are two types of shifters.
27:30One is companion shifter, bought and sold like pets, kept to please their guardians.
27:34The other is no different from humans.
27:36They can go to school, work, and have full civil rights.
27:38But even in this world of rules, there are still those who are never given a choice.
27:42When I bought Liam, I never intended to treat him like a pet.
27:46I didn't want him labeled a companion forever, living at someone's mercy.
27:49I went through hell to get him where he is.
27:52I pulled every string my family had and spent a fortune to get him into the military, just
27:57so he could be treated like a human.
27:59But he completely forgot about me.
28:01Now, he spends all his time sucking up to his instructor.
28:05Back at the contract, I only signed with her because she seemed like a pusover.
28:09If I'd known she was going to be this clingy, shit, I would have picked anyone but her.
