Chapter 1 – 1. Birth Control Test (1)- Photography

One sunny spring morning
Ha-yeon receives the mail with a dumbfounded face.
On the envelope, the word “Sanmucheong” Was written in large letters.
Sanmu office…
I’ve heard it on the news.
The department in charge of managing women’s childbirth obligations newly established this year…

The first sentence that Hayeon greeted as she opened the letter with a shy face

‘Congratulations. You are a mountain duty officer! Get an acid detection test at the nearest Sanmu office!’

And under it, the physical examination schedule and various legal punishments and warnings that could occur in case of non-attendance were written.

“Nonsense! Such a ridiculous law was really passed…!”

Ha-yeon showed strong displeasure and slowly read the contents of her letter while frowning at her.

“I’m only 19 now…”

She is forced to enter a facility for two years at this flowery age, where she will never come back, do unwanted sexual services, and even get pregnant…
Just thinking about her made her teeth quiver and her limbs tremble.

But for Ha-yeon, she learned at school what kind of punishment a mountain evader would face.
Unless she had her uterus and ovaries removed or she was verified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport that she was infertile, she was sentenced to more than two years in prison, as well as various disadvantages such as employment restrictions at various state agencies and disclosure of personal information.
Ha-yeon imagines for a moment that she is socially stigmatized as an acid evader and pointed at by people around her…

“Ha really… It’s awful… And isn’t it too much to ask her to come to her pregnancy as soon as she becomes an adult…?”

Forced to give birth in the name of duty set by the state…

Two years in her early twenties, the golden years of her life that will never come back…

She is free to be robbed for two years, which is not long but not short…

Lastly, she completely disregards women’s inherent right to self-determination, such as pregnancy and childbirth.
Rejection of this absurd situation imposed by the state…

But she couldn’t
Ha-yeon said, she didn’t want to avoid acidity until she had her uterus or ovaries removed, and above all, she was in prison, because just imagining it gave her whole body goosebumps…

While she was agonizing over a problem she could not solve on her own, time flew by swiftly.
In the end, Ha-yeon headed to the Sanmucheong to get an acidity test on the set date.

After taking a bus for several tens of minutes, we arrived at a gray building with no personality…
As Ha-yeon looked around to find the entrance to the San Station Inspection Station, she saw an automatic door and large letters written on it.

‘Korea is proud of its mountain range’

“Ha… I guess this is the entrance…”

I don’t know who came up with the idea, but proud mountain station…
Do you think it’s something to be proud of by forcefully dragging a child to birth?
Ha-yeon sighs as she sees the absurd phrase that even her patriotism seems to disappear and enters the entrance…

“Those who came to take the acidity test, please take a number ticket and wait here.”

Following the guidance of a man who seems to be an official from the Office of San Francisco, Ha-yeon takes a numbered ticket and sits in a chair to look around for a while.
Around her, girls around Ha-yeon’s age with youthful faces were making gloomy expressions, like livestock brought to a slaughterhouse.
Among the dogs, there are girls who cry as if they are going to die soon, so Ha-yeon starts to get confused as well…

Let’s move our gaze elsewhere for a moment,
Men who appear to be civil servants come into view…
Clearly, the Office of Sanctuary is in charge of managing the duty of childbirth imposed on women.
It was Ha-yeon who started to dislike this place more and more as she saw a lot of unrelated male civil servants…

I kept looking around with a confused expression
I heard Hayeon’s number called along with a cheerful mechanical sound of ”Ding-dong”.

“Number 169 here”
A word from a hard-nosed Sanmu office official…
His tone was businesslike, even cynical.
I started to feel bad about the civil servant’s unkind attitude, but
Ha-yeon sits in a chair in front of a civil servant while keeping her face as calm as possible…
Soon, a simple identity verification process is performed.
The official looks at the picture on the resident registration card and Ha-yeon’s face, asks a few questions, and then holds out a piece of paper and asks for her autograph.
On the paper, there was an autograph column asking whether or not to agree to the physical examination and various legal punishments that could occur for not taking the test.

‘Why are you asking me to do this… They said they’d punish me if I don’t agree anyway…’

When I grumbled inside and reluctantly signed the autograph, the official once again went to the changing room in a businesslike tone and told me to take off all of my clothes, including my underwear, and go to the ‘second treatment room’.

‘To..? To take off all your clothes? Then shouldn’t I give you a change of clothes?’

Ha-yeon tilts her head and asks a question at the public official’s words that are not common sense.

“So what about clothes to change into? Just take off everything and get tested naked?”

In response to Hayeon’s question, the official answers with a short sigh as if she had been asked the same question several times.

“Ha, originally, the acidity test is conducted naked after disrobing the body for precise test results. It was written when signing the consent form, right? If you refuse the physical test, you may be punished according to the applicable law. Next number 170 here”

The official who gave a threatening answer in a tone that seemed to be annoying called the next number.

‘There are men and there are so many others, but they do a physical examination naked? Does this really make sense?’

Ha-yeon was grumbling inwardly at this fish-eye situation, but
Punishment items that can be punished for non-attendance written on the consent form for physical examination, which he signed with his own hand, begin to emerge in his head.
In the end, Hayeon gritted her teeth and slowly walked up the stairs to the dressing room upstairs…

When she entered the locker room, she saw women her age who were barely covering their breasts and genitals with their hands, blushing as if they were embarrassed.
It was truly spectacular to see dozens of fresh-looking women who seemed to be barely grown-up shyly trying to cover up their exposed private parts with their hands.
A little bit of relief knowing you’re not the only one getting naked like in the bath…
However, it was not easy to show off one’s naked body in front of others.
Besides, in front of male civil servants who are not even the same woman…

Ha-yeon blushed at her shame,
With her trembling hands, she begins to slowly slip through her clothes, layer by layer.
It was Ha-yeon who had heard that the sooner she undressed, the sooner the test would be over, so she simply wore a shirt and skirt.
Just take off a few layers and it’s easy to wear underwear…

Tucked her coat into the locker,
Half-naked, with only her underwear left, Ha-yeon is lost in thought for a while.

‘Shall we run away? Should I just go home?’

Once again, the list of legal punishments that could be received for failing to undergo a physical examination flashed through my mind.

‘Ha… I’m really annoyed, really’

In the end, it wasn’t long before it was Ha-yeon, completely naked, like the other women.
Skin like white jade, firm breasts that are swollen to the right size for that age group, and hips that look elastic,
And even the cute pink pubic area that seems to be hidden between the pubic hair as if it were shy…
It was Hayeon, who boasted a perfect body like a well-made piece of art.

With her face completely red with shame, Ha-yeon barely covered her genitals and breasts with her hands, running down the hallway to the room marked ‘Second Treatment Room’…
Like farm animals or zoo animals,
Dozens of naked women were walking inside the Sanmu office building, their faces blushing with shame and humiliation.
The male civil servants had a calm expression on their faces, as if they did not care at all about this non-ideal situation.
It’s like you don’t treat women as individuals…
It’s like they’re not just people, they’re just animals…

Waiting for Ha-yeon when she arrived at the second treatment room were the Sanmu office officials wearing white coats unlike the public officials she had seen so far.
And in their hands was a camera that looked pretty expensive at a glance.

‘Camera? What are you doing?’

Hayeon staring at the camera with doubts…

“It’s number 169, right? This is where we take pictures for body rank and baby love cards. Now, stand in front of here and take a posture as we tell you.”

Hearing those words, Hayeon was stunned.

‘Photo shoot? I’m naked… You can’t believe I’m going to take a picture in this state?’

Her Ha-yeon’s red complexion had now completely turned white like a sheet of paper.

As if you are used to this situation,
A government official dragged Ha-yeon, who was frozen in shame and unable to move, and put her in front of a wall.
Then, like when taking mug shots of prisoners, in front of a wall with a scale showing height
As you were born,
Without a single thread on,
Around Ha-yeon’s neck, something like a signboard with all kinds of personal information written on her, such as her place of birth, birthday, age, name, social security number, and high school she graduated from, is hung.

After that, the public servant asked Ha-yeon to do various shameful and lewd postures that she could not bear to do as a woman.
Her chest sticks out as far as it will go, her legs wide open and her hurray posture…
A posture with her legs spread, her knees bent, her hands behind her head…
From the front, her genitals spread themselves apart with her fingers…
Turn her back and spread her buttocks open so that you can get a closer look at her anus and genitals, and so on…

All of them were postures that severely emphasized the sexual parts of women.
It’s like treating women as ‘products for childbirth’ and taking pictures to check the quality of organs that only women have…

Until when, these humiliating photos of her naked private parts are stored somewhere.
Ha-yeon’s head turned completely white due to her anxiety and despair at not knowing who else would see her.

Every time the shutter sounded, ‘click’, Ha-yeon felt as if something like a string in her head was being cut off one by one.
Although it is a citizen’s duty,
Do we have to put up with this inhuman and humiliating photo shoot?

“Straight legs apart! Make sure your genitals are visible. If you don’t want to do it again, make sure to spread your labia with her fingers!”

To have her photographed with her own hands open in her most intimate places…
It was a miserable and cruel order.
Barely holding back the tears that continued to flow, she opened her genitals, which she had never shown to anyone except her parents, as wide as possible with her fingers, revealing her pink flesh inside in front of the camera.

“Okay. Now turn around and get into a pose.”

Ha-yeon is ashamed of even a cheap prostitute, so she continues to take a stance that she would refuse…

Turn around behind her and stick her hips out so that you can see her anus and genitals.
Her stance, showing her hips wide open with her own fingers, gave her extreme shame, especially.
A posture in which the pink pussy and ass hole are exposed as they are.
In addition, the sense of humiliation and contempt added by opening and showing her with her own hands…
The feeling of being photographed and recorded down to the bottom of Min Ha-yeon as a human being…

In addition, the public servant took a close-up of only the breast or a close-up of only the genitals.
This humiliating Ha-yeon nude photoshoot continued for several tens of minutes after that.
Her face, as well as every inch of her naked body, her anus, genitals, neck, armpits, and other private parts were all photographed.

“Shooting completed, No. 169. The examiner in charge will review and judge the physical grade. The photos taken will be permanently preserved, but don’t worry as the Ministry of San Francisco manages the database directly.
By the way, it sounds like your body is very optimized for pregnancy. The breasts and areolas are also of the right size and shape, and her ass is also an easy delivery type. Besides, the condition of the genitals is also very good. I’m sure you’ll get a good pregnancy disposal grade.”

Preservation forever…?
Don’t worry because it’s managed by the Sanmu office…
That said, officials from the Ministry of San Francisco can access the database and see their naked bodies whenever they want…
It was really nonsense bullshit…

Moreover, he evaluates his secret places like a cow for breeding,
Ha-yeon’s hands and feet trembled in disgust at being judged as her birthing tool, but…
She herself was just a powerless mountain station obligator…
Because Ha-yeon, who is just an individual, has an absolute relationship with Sanmucheong, a government agency…
And this disgraceful test is probably the one that all women in Korea undergo as soon as they become adults.

Since Ha-yeon is not alone in her situation, Ha-yeon may not be able to reject this unreasonable, insulting, and human rights-violating prosecutor.
She couldn’t even file a complaint.
Because the law is so dictated.
All citizens of the Republic of Korea, a country ruled by law, have an obligation to follow the law.
Even if the law is absurdly evil…

A government official smiles slightly and talks to Ha-yeon, who is barely covering her naked body with her hands while crying in shame.

“If it’s just enough to make you cry at the photo shoot, what are you going to do with the rest of the physical examination? Stop crying and move quickly to the examination room as people are waiting behind you.”

She was Hayeon, glaring at the male civil servant’s face with a mocking attitude, but that was all…
The only protest that Ha-yeon, who is in the absolute position of Eul, can do…

Ha-yeon manages to get her body together, wipes away her tears, and slowly walks out of the treatment room…

Up to this point, she hadn’t known that her nude photo shoots were just a taster…
The various inhuman treatment that will be treated as a ‘tool for childbirth’ rather than a ‘woman’ in the future…
