[Part Seven] Silicon Heart
Born to Love, Cursed to Feel
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
That’s all Joohyun could chant in her head while Tiffany was brushing her long golden brown hair. The latter’s hands may seem softer than velvet, but boy she was violent, not exactly violent, but close to violent to the point where the cyborg felt her hair was ripped off from its roots.
“Please have mercy on my hair, Your Majesty!” The cyborg whimpered.
“Stop addressing me with royalty, and I will.” said Tiffany in a teasing tone.
