I Am Livestock
I am livestock. Only I... am livestock.
It was utterly despairing. Why? How could this happen? When exactly? Why... was this unimaginable tattoo now branded on my ass? I cried like a madwoman and suffered like one too. At the very least, shouldn't there have been some level of explanation I could accept? The man had promised that after three years, he would clear my name and return me to my normal life. I wasn't supposed to live as livestock forever. Once the promised time passed, he would remove the false charges against me. Knowing all that, why? Why engrave such a vulgar, degrading tattoo on me?
I wanted to die. From now on... even when I showered... I wouldn't be able to look at my own buttocks without shame.
— Lee Ah-young stood at attention. She remained completely naked. Her large, beautiful breasts drew the most immediate attention. And the man standing before her. With a look of utter despair, Ah-young gazed up at him.
“...Why... are you doing this to me?”
“What are you talking about?” The man smiled gently as he looked down at her.
“You kidnapped me... turned me into this... and now... now you’ve given me this ridiculous... tattoo...”
Her voice trembled. Ah-young’s sorrowful tone carried an undercurrent of rage.
“Special livestock receive an additional brand on their right buttock. We engrave a tattoo that maximizes their specific flaws, and they must live with that mark for the rest of their lives.”
Ah-young’s eyes shifted from despair to fury.
“Why didn’t you tell me that sooner?! I had no idea that becoming special livestock would mean something like this would be done to me!”
Ah-young expressed her anger through a choked, tearful voice. The man’s smiling face suddenly transformed into something terrifying.
“You are special livestock, Miss Lee Ah-young. That is why we applied the new brand. Isn’t that perfectly natural? Since you are special livestock, we simply did what was required.”
The man glared at her with an expression of irritation.
Ah-young’s body shrank back.
“Your body has no flaws, Miss Lee Ah-young. You possess a perfect figure and an equally perfect face. However, I discovered one particular characteristic about you.”
The man lowered his hand and grabbed a handful of her pubic hair with his fingers. Then he yanked it upward. With a forceful tug completely devoid of consideration, he pulled her pubic hair taut.
“Kyaaaak!”
Ah-young screamed from the pain of her pubic hair being pulled. She rose onto her tiptoes, arching her waist upward in a desperate attempt to ease the agony.
“Uuuugh!”
“This pubic hair really displeased me. For a woman as perfect as you, this was the one flaw. So I designed the tattoo to emphasize it.”
The moment he finished speaking, the man released the hair he had been pulling.
“Ugh...”
Whether a few strands had been ripped out, the man shook his hand. Ah-young bent at the waist and rubbed the spot where her hair had been yanked. Being subjected to even this made her feel smaller and more pathetic than ever. To think they had engraved such a horrific tattoo just because she had a lot of pubic hair... It made no sense. It was too cruel. But Ah-young no longer had the courage to voice any of these thoughts.
“Do not ask about it anymore. You are special livestock, Miss Lee Ah-young. You are not human. Is there anything wrong with engraving something on the body of livestock I raise? No, there isn’t. Do you understand?”
“Huuu...”
Ah-young stared at the man with eyes full of terror. Unlike usual, he stood far too close. This demon who had always watched her from a distance, observing her humiliation, was now standing right in front of her, glaring. An overwhelming aura radiated from him. It was an indescribable fear. An oppressive pressure. It didn’t come from his muscles or his build. It was the absolute certainty that she must never be near this man. Every cell in Ah-young’s body began screaming a warning to flee from him. This man might kill me.
“...Yes! I... I understand.”
But Ah-young had no way to escape. She must not resist anymore. The primal instinct warning that she might die at any moment was sounding alarms throughout her body. She simply had to say that she understood. Her survival instinct was screaming at her to obey.
“The assigned doctor will arrive soon. Wait here.”
“...Yes! I... I understand.”
Ah-young did not want to die. What she had felt from the man a moment ago was genuine killing intent. She must not express her opinions or complaints to him. She had to submit to everything and obey every word. As long as that man stood before her, that was her only option. Her intuition was not wrong. This man was not normal. He was fundamentally different from ordinary people. She had never heard of anyone who emitted such killing intent. He was a true criminal, capable of framing her and forcibly applying the Brand of Livestock. And her instincts told her he might actually commit murder. The correct choice was to submit and endure. That was right. If she could just endure... just three years... she could return to her old life.
...I wonder if they’ll give me clothes...
Still completely naked, she waited for the “doctor” who would come to see her. Even though she knew someone was coming for her, she remained forcibly stripped bare. The man had hooked her metal collar to an iron ring beside a chair in the first-floor lobby and then disappeared. The sun had set, and evening had arrived. The fluorescent lights switched on, illuminating the excessively bright first-floor lobby. Inside it, a naked woman sat alone with a metal chain attached to her collar.
The building was cold. The evening temperature in September was too chilly to remain naked. Nothing... nothing was okay.
The “doctor” who would arrive soon was an outsider. Ah-young would have to greet this stranger she had never met while completely nude. This was the first floor of the building. They would clearly open that door and enter, and the moment they did, they would see her sitting there naked with a collar around her neck. Her pure white naked body. Her breasts, her legs, her buttocks... and... that horrific tattoo... everything would be exposed to their eyes.
Aaa... she felt like she was going insane. Please... someone... save me...
Waiting in this state for someone to arrive was too cruel. She was a woman. A woman who understood shame and embarrassment. At the very least, shouldn’t they give her something to cover herself with? Her heart pounded wildly. She was terrified the front door on the first floor might open. Fear kept surging through her.
She covered herself as much as possible. Sitting in the chair, she hugged her breasts to hide her nipples as best she could. She pressed her legs together tightly so her crotch wouldn’t be visible. She was not normal right now. No matter how empty the space was, sitting naked and alone in the lobby of this perfectly ordinary building was not normal. Where in the world was there a woman like this...? A pervert... an exhibitionist... that’s probably how they would see her.
Just thinking about the situation that would soon arrive made her whole body tremble violently. She could predict what would happen, but she couldn’t prepare for it. She could only endure the coming humiliation with her bare body.
Clank.
The door on the first floor opened. One man and two women entered the lobby. The moment Ah-young saw them, she lowered her head all the way between her legs and curled her body into a ball.
Hiiik... hiiik... hiiik... They’re here... they’re here!
She had been naked in front of the man the entire time. But now other people would see her like this too. It was humiliating. She wanted to die.
Uwaaa... agh!
She screamed inside her own head. Her mind grew hazy.
Step. Step. Step.
The footsteps stopped right in front of her.
“Whoa~ For livestock, she looks like a total princess.”
A voice shattered the silence. One man and two women. The three people in formal attire gathered around the chair where Ah-young sat.
“Uuuuu...”
She didn’t lift her head. She didn’t want to show them what she looked like. Please don’t look at my face... Just... go away...
“Huh?”
The man standing in front of the seated Ah-young forced his hand between her curled-up limbs. His hand pushed through the arms she was using to cover her breasts as much as possible. Then his hand grabbed her breast.
“Mmph?”
And then the hand began to move. The man in the suit started kneading Ah-young’s breast with his hand.
“Hup! Hup! Hup!”
As her breast was molested, Ah-young began to tremble, letting out stifled moans as if trying to hold her breath. A person who had just seen her for the first time was casually touching her breasts. He kneaded them as if it were the most natural thing in the world. For a normal person, this situation would be impossible. The soft texture of Ah-young’s breast was perfectly transmitted to the man’s palm.
“Wow, this is the girl who volunteered to become special livestock? Her tits are huge...”
The man continued kneading Ah-young’s breast as he spoke. Then one of the women grabbed Ah-young’s bowed head by the hair and forcibly lifted her face so it could be seen.
“Ugh!”
Ah-young couldn’t utter a single word. Even while enduring this horribly humiliating situation, she couldn’t let out even a single protest. Her face was forced upward. The eyes of Ah-young, whose hair was being used to lift her head, met the three people staring at her naked body.
“Her face is incredibly pretty too... Wow... She’s really beautiful...”
“Let me see? Wow... yeah... She’s really... pretty...”
For a moment, the three people stared at Ah-young’s face in silence. But the man’s hand continued moving on her breast. Even though he was casually touching the breasts of a woman he had just met, the women beside him didn’t seem to care at all.
They’re women too... Why... aren’t they stopping him? They’re women too... Why are they doing this to me...
“Ahem... Her breasts are... big, so they feel great. Why would such a pretty girl do something like that and end up as special livestock?”
“Maybe she’s a pervert? I heard a lot of murderers have weird sexual fetishes.”
“Is that so? We’ll find out soon enough. If she gets her pussy wet in front of us, then she really is a pervert.”
The man’s hand finally left Ah-young’s breast. Ah-young quickly covered her chest with both arms again. The three people began taking items out of their bags. Cameras, bundles of documents, and strange instruments. In front of them, Ah-young couldn’t utter a single word and could only use her arms to desperately cover her breasts.
These three people who touched her as if it meant nothing and acted as if she were naturally “livestock.” Suddenly, Ah-young’s mind felt completely empty. She could only watch their actions with terrified eyes.
“Ah! You must be the doctors?”
The “man” descended the stairs from the second floor.
“Ah, so you’re the owner? Haha. Thank you for contacting us.”
Unlike when they had faced her, the three people smiled and shook hands with the “man.” The man and the visitors conversed. Lee Ah-young, naked and alone with a collar around her neck. Before her, fully dressed people shook hands, laughed, and talked. Between them and Ah-young... there was an enormous wall. They were in the same space, but between them and Ah-young stood an impassable barrier. Ah-young felt that disconnect with her entire body. She felt endlessly small and pathetic.
Am I... really... livestock...? Not a person anymore...?
A crushing sense of self-loathing washed over her. For the first time, the reality that she was livestock truly hit her. It wasn’t just that she felt tormented and ashamed. Her new reality struck her with full force. That demon-like man was smiling brightly as he spoke with them. That demon looked like a perfectly ordinary person. Then what... was she? What was all that despair and fear she had felt?
“My name is Kang Ju-hyeok.”
“Ah, yes! Nice to meet you. I am...”
It was the first time she had heard the man’s name. Until now, she hadn’t even known the demon’s name. No, that demon named Kang Ju-hyeok probably hadn’t thought she was worth knowing his name... because she was livestock...
All the resolutions she had made to herself began to erase themselves from her mind. The fact that she had originally been an ordinary person who was kidnapped, framed, and reduced to this state momentarily slipped from her thoughts. The sight of these “normal people” before her eyes was tormenting Ah-young even more. The “man” who had casually electrocuted her. His current ordinary appearance was causing chaos in Ah-young’s mind. She had thought he was a demon. But... his current appearance... didn’t seem demonic at all.
“Ah, for the physical examination, please follow me.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Come along, Ah-young.”
The man smiled as he picked up Ah-young’s leash. There was no focus in Ah-young’s pupils. Her mind had turned completely white. She rose as the man led her. And she walked as the leash pulled her. Shame burrowed into her brain.
Only I have a collar around my neck... Only I... am wearing no clothes at all... Only I... have my breasts bouncing around...
Jingle. Jingle. Jingle.
Every time Ah-young took a step, the sound of the metal collar rang out. All those sounds seemed to soak her brain in shame.
“Oh my!? Mr. Kang Ju-hyeok, you really gave the livestock a proper marking on her ass, didn’t you? Her name is Ah-young? Is it bushy? Hey, you?”
One of the women saw the “pubic hair tattoo” drawn on Ah-young’s buttock and exclaimed in surprise.
“Wow... It’s so explicit! Her pussy is spread wide open! And the hair like that... Ugh, how obscene...”
Kang Ju-hyeok, that demon, smiled as he answered.
“Look at the front once. You’ll understand the nickname I wrote down.”
Kang Ju-hyeok pulled her leash, forcing her to stop. Then he grabbed her shoulder and turned her toward them. Unable to resist, her body turned weakly. Before her eyes stood the three people. Ah-young’s naked body, forcibly turned toward them... her breasts, her pubic area... everything faced them. Ah-young instinctively tried to cover herself with her hands, but the man grabbed her arms and stopped her.
She wanted to die. These people acted as if all of this was completely natural. She was the only one completely naked, and she wasn’t even allowed to cover herself. Everyone’s gaze was directed at the lower part of her body. Her pubic hair. The pubic hair she had never really thought of as a major flaw before. Now she hated it with a horrifying intensity.
“Whoa~ Just like the nickname says, it really is bushy... Hahahahaha!”
“Hahahaha! What kind of description is ‘bushy down there’?”
“Kyahahaha! This is pure comedy!”
Every word drove a dagger into Ah-young’s heart.
“Her breasts are huge and pretty... Do you know her size?”
“Ah-young is a 70F cup. Actually, it would be fair to call her a G cup.”
“Wow... I’ve never heard of that size before... She has such a slim body... How is that possible...”
“Jealous?”
“If she weren’t livestock and was just a regular woman? Maybe a little.”
“You’re an A cup though.”
“Hey, you!”
Ah-young’s shoulders slumped. She heard every single one of their words. Stories about her. About her... pubic hair... about her... horrific tattoo... about her... breasts... They casually discussed her body as if debating an object... and engaged in ordinary, playful conversation that had nothing to do with her... Strength left her entire body. They didn’t see her as a woman. No, they didn’t treat her as human at all.
No matter how much she told herself it was a false charge, that she would be freed in three years, that she could endure it and return to her old life, one fact remained unchanged. Now she finally understood it clearly. She had truly become livestock. The person she was now was no longer human. She felt like she was going insane.
Among criminals who have received the Brand of Livestock punishment, this is a sentence given to those whose crimes are particularly heinous. These are “human livestock” who continue living in society. Unlike other “livestock” who spend the rest of their lives in camps, special livestock are treated as less than beasts while living among ordinary people in society.
All inhuman torture and sexual acts committed against special livestock are considered “perfectly natural.” Especially when a female criminal becomes special livestock, the sexual torment is said to be dozens of times more severe. Humiliation and shame. Degradation and disgrace. Drugs and sexual experiments. The process of this punishment is said to be enough to make them despise being born as women. It is said that even if an ordinary woman receives this punishment as special livestock for only a few years, it is extremely difficult for her to remain mentally intact. Therefore, female criminals are said to fear becoming special livestock more than anything else.
