Jangmak
Jangmak
I heard from noona what happened at school when she got home.
Her face was dark. Her eyelids were red, probably from crying all day, and there were tear tracks on her cheeks.
"That crazy bastard..."
A curse slipped out of my mouth.
A pervert who filmed noona milking her breasts with his phone and was blackmailing her.
I could never forgive that.
"Noona, you okay?"
I checked if she had any injuries anywhere.
Fortunately, there were no signs of being hit by the harasser or any scratches on her skin.
But she seemed to have suffered such a huge shock that she was mumbling incoherently.
"Yuhyeon-ah, what am I gonna do? That, that guy can't spread the video. I absolutely can't let anyone see me like that."
She'd always been the timid type.
Having been caught secretly milking at university by a harasser and getting blackmailed, she was completely deflated, not knowing what to do.
She looked up at me with eyes brimming with tears.
"What're you worrying about? Let's report it to the police."
"That guy told me not to report it to the police. He said he'd spread the video if I did."
"So you're gonna listen to a blackmailer? Just let that scum toy with you?"
"B-but we have to get rid of the video first, right? What if it spreads to people? I wouldn't be able to show my face anywhere..."
I don't know how lewd the milking scene was, but noona kept insisting to me that it absolutely could not get out.
Our noona's breast milk coming out scene is pretty sexy, yeah.
Having hugged her and milked her breasts myself, I remembered how insanely erotic and lewd it felt when she squirted milk.
Still, using that as leverage to blackmail our noona is totally not okay.
"Noona, that kind of lowlife blackmail only works in 19+ fanfics. Filming an exposure video and threatening someone? What is this, some clueless high schooler who doesn't know how the world works? In reality, the police block the video leaks and catch the perp too. You don't have to worry about the video spreading."
"R-really?"
"People are less interested in others than you think. Even if noona's video pops up online for a bit, no one's gonna recognize it's you anyway. And portal sites? Cops'll take it down quick."
In fiction, that blackmail works all the time.
"I've got your exposure vid, so obey me if you don't want it leaked."
It's a trope that shows up a lot in Japanese anime or porn, but fiction's fiction—gotta separate it from reality.
In real life, it doesn't fly.
Koreans are too busy to care if the person in some leak vid is their neighbor or not. And they wouldn't know anyway.
Realistically, how many people scour 19+ sites for leak vids? And even then, what are the odds they're near the victim and recognize the face?
It's a one-in-a-million, no, billion shot.
Better to report the blackmailer without worry and let the world's top public safety—Korea's cops—ruin the harasser's life.
"Even in the worst case, noona can just take a semester off or transfer schools. The direct damage to you from a leak would be minimal."
Reporting to the police is a hundred times better than obeying the blackmailer. Anyone who dares touch our noona deserves to eat beans in jail.
"You think? It's okay to report to the police?"
"Yeah. Trust me. I'll make sure nothing happens to you, noona."
She nodded.
We went together to the police station to report the harasser.
The cops who took the report headed straight to the university.
Good call reporting it.
Cyber security would block the video leak, and violent crimes detectives would nab the harasser, they said.
"See? Told you reporting was the right move."
"Mm..."
Noona stuck right by my side.
I hoped the shameless bastard who'd blackmailed her would get caught in the police investigation.
But.
"Did this harasser enter the Lactation Room?"
The police asked noona if the harasser had really come into the Lactation Room.
"Yes, he burst the door open while I was inside."
"I see. But the CCTV shows no one at all..."
"What? No one's on the CCTV?"
Noona had mustered the courage to report the harasser to the police, overcoming her shame and fear.
But when the police said no one showed up on the hallway CCTV, her eyes went wide in shock.
"That can't be. Th-that guy threatened me inside the Lactation Room and chased me all the way to the lecture hall where I escaped."
According to her testimony, the harasser should've definitely appeared on the hallway CCTV. It covered the path between the Lactation Room and the lecture hall.
But after the police and university security checked the footage, there was no sign of the harasser.
We watched the CCTV too.
Really, no harasser in the hallway.
"Isn't this hallway CCTV broken? That guy appeared in that corner building before too, you know?"
This time, we checked the CCTV from the bathroom building where Cha Hye-rin had milked before.
But nowhere in the building entrance, hallway cams—no sign of the man.
"This is weird. No one's there at all."
People stared at noona blankly.
Unless her testimony was wrong, all the CCTVs couldn't be faulty.
"No, really! I saw that guy for real!"
Noona pleaded, but the cops just scratched their heads.
There was footage of noona running down the hall, towel over her chest.
But no harasser chasing her like she said.
So, is this woman who reported a harasser just crazy? Or is it that everyone else sees normal, but only the harasser doesn't show on CCTV?
Most people would go with the former. CCTV catches everything—can't miss just the guy.
Noona looked half out of it already, rambling in shock and fear.
I didn't see the harasser on CCTV either.
But having escaped [The Room You Can't Leave Unless You Milk], I believed noona's story.
Noona produces breast milk. That's already impossible, so who knows what other weird shit's going on.
"Th-this CCTV footage."
I drew everyone's eyes to the screen.
"Isn't the doorknob turning from the outside?"
The bathroom door where noona had been and the Lactation Room door.
Both had the outside knob turning when they opened.
Structurally, if opened from inside, the outside knob wouldn't turn.
"Huh? Yeah. How's the outside knob moving?"
People finally noticed the oddity.
Empty hallway.
Lights flicker off and on, and the outside knob turns sloooowly by itself.
Chilling footage.
"Eek!"
"What the hell..."
We rewound it tons, but no guy. Yet the knob turns from outside.
The crappy CCTV quality made it even more suspicious.
"So what do we do?"
If the guy's not on video, how do we catch him?
Cops and security looked troubled.
"Let's hand this to the Special Countermeasure Bureau for Anomalous Phenomena."
The highest-ranking cop on scene said it.
"Special Countermeasure Bureau for Anomalous Phenomena?"
Unfamiliar agency name. I asked what they did.
"National special agency that handles supernatural phenomena or unreal incidents professionally. I thought it was fishy when a young student said she was producing breast milk."
"Huh? Breast milk? Why my breast milk?"
At the mention of breast milk, noona flinched, clamping her thighs and hiding her chest.
At the station, she'd been mortified stating she produced breast milk without giving birth.
Now cops talked like the milk was a key clue, and she looked horrified.
"I don't know exactly what the Special Countermeasure Bureau for Anomalous Phenomena does. Super secretive. But upper command says report any mysterious breast milk cases to them. We'll notify them."
"?????"
A specialist agency for mysterious breast milk incidents? Cha Hye-rin hid her chest, face like she'd misheard.
Whoa, a place like that exists?
I was purely impressed. World's big, full of weird jobs we don't know. Even unreal breast milk cases have handlers.

Special Countermeasure Bureau for Anomalous Phenomena.
Field Division Team 6 leader Kang Seo-ha received the incident report.
Suspected Jangmak outbreak. Victim produces breast milk.
'Last Chaos-grade Jangmak wiped out a lot of manpower.'
Regrettably, few agents left who could deploy right away.
"I'll take this case."
She told the info team staff handing her the file that she'd handle it personally.
With many agents out injured or on leave.
Healthy her had to pick up extra cases.
She reviewed the file on college girl C's harasser incident.
-Chest throbbed every time entering university.
-Breast milk started coming out.
-First milking attempt in empty restroom back building by woods. Lights flicker, open door and suspicious shadow spotted.
-Couldn't confirm who.
-Later, breast milk again, heads to Lactation Room.
-Mid-milking and washing at sink, lights flicker, shadow at door again.
-Harasser jumps her, threatens with video.
-Bites his hand, flees to empty lecture hall same building.
-Harasser bangs lecture hall door, ends threats.
-Cops review CCTV: only C visible, no harasser.
-Suspicious: lights flicker no reason. Outside doorknob turns. Non-pregnant college girl with breast milk.
Kang Seo-ha finished the file and closed it.
Leave this alone, and C could be in danger.
She stood, checked her blouse, jacket, skirt in the mirror—straightened up.
Packed file and items in briefcase, checked phone time.
