The red welts from Mi Jong’s whipping were still visible on her breasts. Her ass cheeks burned painfully. Miko and Mi Jong, as they had after Kathy’s last appearance in the punishment room, spread a plastic sheet over her bed. When she finished her bath, they had her lie down on the sheet while they rubbed the healing lotion into the welts on her buttocks and breasts. Kathy was amazed at how quickly the pain subsided. Even before they completed their task, the lash marks began to disappear. Miko left the room while Mi Jong massaged Kathy’s body with fragrant oils. Lying on her stomach, Kathy turned her head to look back at the homely Korean woman. “Mi Jong, why did you...” she began. “Whip your breasts?” Mi Jong interrupted. “Yes, I thought...” “You thought I your friend,” Mi Jong interrupted again, obviously annoyed. “Ha! You thought wrong. You are unworthy. I have no respect for you, neither does Miko. In fact you...you...” she searched for the right word in English, “you disgust me.”
