Chapter Title: Yuseong Group (4) / Physical Examination
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the end, the result of the match was clear. The one who surrendered was Park Min-ji.
With a resigned expression, she raised her trembling hand to the bra hook behind her back. Click. With a small sound, the strap binding her breasts came loose, and the white bra fell away.
And it revealed her voluptuous breasts.
They looked to be about a C-cup—breasts that struck the perfect balance of size and shape. Not overwhelmingly large, but their plump, rounded form looked quite appetizing.
Perhaps from being pressed against the bra for so long, there were faint marks on her breasts, but nothing worth fussing over.
The pink nipples shyly blooming atop her pale skin were attractive enough on their own. But thanks to the cold air and tension filling the room, they stood slightly erect.
"......Eut!"
Feeling my blatant stare, Park Min-ji's face flushed red. Seeming to feel extreme shame at the fact that her breasts were so blatantly exposed, she quickly crossed her arms to cover them.
"You can't do that."
Under the pretext of conducting the examination, I firmly pulled her crossed arms away. And I demanded that Park Min-ji stand at attention.
"At, at attention?"
After hesitating for a moment, Park Min-ji glanced at the impassive Lea before assuming the stance.
"Alright, then let's continue the examination."
I then began scrutinizing Park Min-ji's breasts meticulously, like an appraiser checking the condition of a product.
"Hngh...!"
"Hmm. Visually, they look clean without a single scratch. But just to be sure, I need to check underneath."
Muttering to Lea as if making an excuse, I said to Park Min-ji,
"I need to check under the breasts too. There might be hidden scratches. Excuse me for a moment."
"Yes?"
Saying that, I gently cupped both of Park Min-ji's breasts with my hands, lifted them slightly, and checked the underside—the part prone to sweating.
"!?!?"
The moment my hands touched her breasts, Park Min-ji's body trembled as if electrocuted. Her eyes widened like a rabbit's, and her lips moved as if trying to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.
Naturally, there were no scratches or marks there. Just smooth, white skin.
I focused on the soft, elastic feel filling my hands. They were of much higher quality than I had expected.
"Hmm. This side is clean too."
Speaking in a completely businesslike tone, I kneaded her breasts a bit more firmly before letting go.
"Huuut......!"
Satisfactory. The only regret was that I couldn't touch them more under the pretext of the examination.
That was when.
"Joo-hyuk, what are you doing right now?"
A voice as cold as ice came from behind me. I slowly turned around. Lea was sitting on the chair, arms crossed, glaring at me with a displeased expression.
"Why? Is there a problem?"
Internally sweating bullets, I calmly asked back. Naturally, I thought Lea would point out my sexual harassment and scold me.
But the words that came from her mouth next were completely out of left field.
"Of course. You didn't wear gloves. What if you get infected?"
"......?"
For a moment, I couldn't comprehend what I had heard.
Lea clicked her tongue as if I were pathetic and rummaged through her pouch for something.
"Come here. Wash your hands with alcohol disinfectant, and I'll give you a pair of latex gloves to wear."
Lea handed me disinfectant gel and a pair of medical latex gloves.
'...What the hell is with this woman?'
I realized that the point she was making was completely different from what I had thought.
Lea had no interest in the act of me touching Park Min-ji's breasts itself. She was solely focused on the hygienic issue of potential infection.
'Is it because her role is combat medic? Or is she just like this naturally?'
With an inexplicable expression, I looked at Lea. She was still urging me seriously to disinfect my hands and put on the gloves quickly.
Somehow, I found the situation a bit funny.
For now, I did as she said: thoroughly washed my hands with the alcohol disinfectant and put on the latex gloves she gave me.
The thin rubber dulled the sensation in my hands, but there was no helping it.
Lea's words seemed reasonable on the surface, and there was no real grounds to refuse.
'By the way, does she really consider checking under the breasts just now as part of the examination?'
I couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
If Sera were here instead of Lea, what would it be like? She'd probably go berserk, grab my collar, and shower me with accusations of sexual harassment.
I briefly recalled the original owner's memories. Unlike Sera, there had been no connection with Lea in the past.
In other words, the time we'd spent together was only after being assigned to Titan Security's C-Team. In that short time, the Lea I had observed was extremely rational, with almost no emotional expression.
'Sera would definitely nitpick every action I take. But this woman... focuses on results rather than the process, huh.'
Suddenly, I realized that Lea and I had quite a few unexpected similarities.
Not choosing means or methods for the sake of the goal. Prioritizing only efficiency and results without emotional fluctuations. Perhaps we could be the best partners.
'As long as the result is good, anything goes. Interesting. Who knew Lea and I would click on this.'
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Feeling a strange sense of kinship, I turned my gaze back to Lea.
"So, what now?"
Lea gestured to me and said,
"Breasts are done. Now tell Park Min-ji to take off her panties."
I translated her words directly to Park Min-ji.
"Now for the last part. Please take off your panties."
Park Min-ji's face had gone beyond flushed to almost bursting red. With an expression like she was about to burst into tears, she bit her lip hard.
A few seconds of silence passed.
Finally, Park Min-ji let out a deep sigh as if resigning to everything, and grasped the sides of her panties with trembling hands.
With her flushed face, she slowly, very slowly pulled her panties down.
Finally, the black panties slid slowly down her smooth thighs.
Beneath what seemed like well-groomed pubic hair, her shyly closed pink labia came into view. Out of extreme shame, she tried to close her legs, but upon receiving Lea's cold gaze, she gave up even on that.
"N-Now it's done, right? As you can see, I haven't been bitten anywhere...!"
Park Min-ji desperately tried to prove her innocence in a voice almost breaking into sobs. I translated her words exactly to Lea.
Lea stood up and meticulously inspected Park Min-ji's groin and inner thighs with a flashlight. After a moment, Lea nodded.
"Visually, she looks clean. Shall we call it here?"
Lea finally concluded. But I had no intention of ending the examination like this.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Lea. Personally, I'd like to do a few more tests. Is that okay?"
Lea looked at me with a puzzled expression at the sudden proposal.
"What kind of tests?"
"We still don't know exactly how this virus spreads. Maybe it spreads through the air."
"Airborne infection? What nonsense is that?"
Lea's brows furrowed slightly.
"That was just a guess. The point is, there's still too much we don't know."
"So what are you trying to say?"
Lea crossed her arms and urged me on.
"The experiment I want is simple. Give some stimulation to the body and observe the reaction. For example, a patient in the early latent stage of infection might show different neural responses than usual. Like being abnormally insensitive or sensitive to pain or touch."
I phrased it as plausibly as possible, as if backed by medical reasoning.
But in the face of this unknown virus from outer space, no hypothesis could be easily dismissed.
'Who knows. Maybe this really could distinguish infected from normal.'
Lea seemed interested in my suggestion.
"So what's next?"
"Later, when we capture an infected person, we compare the reaction to the same stimulation, and we can clearly see the difference between normal and infected."
Lea's eyes sparkled at my idea.
"...That's a quite interesting perspective. With more samples, we might get meaningful results. But how do we capture the infected?"
"Gag their mouth and restrain arms and legs. Or chop them up. At least the zombies we've seen so far..."
"Zombies?"
Lea interrupted me. She looked at me with a pathetic expression, like an adult hearing childish talk.
"That's just a term from fiction. Medically, it's 'infected'."
"Uh, yeah... Infected."
I was flustered by the word that slipped out, but tried to play it cool and continued. Lea looked at me for a moment, then sighed softly.
"Sigh... Fine. Do whatever. I won't say anything to Sera."
"Why bring up Sera here?"
The original owner's relationship with Sera wasn't disclosed anywhere. At least as far as I knew. We were employees of Titan Security, and the company's official rule was no office romance.
It wasn't wrong that Sera and I had dated in the past, but it wasn't something to openly declare at work either.
"Why? Isn't she your girlfriend?"
"Sera isn't my girlfriend; she's my 'ex'-girlfriend."
Lea looked at me with dry eyes at my assertion and asked back in an icy voice.
"Sigh. Is that so? You have sex with your ex too?"
