Chapter 4 – 4. Man’s Proposal (2)
The man continues his speech.
“Tomorrow, Ah-yeong will go to court for a ‘formal’ trial.
There, the stigma of the livestock is checked, and Lee A-young’s crime and punishment are confirmed.”
“Huh… Turn it off… Turn it off…”
Ayoung is lying on the bare floor, on the ground. With her legs fairly hunched over, she is spread wide.
She didn’t even know it was a situation where she exposed her pussy to a man, which she wanted to hide so much.
Ah-yeong is crying with tears and runny nose.
She felt again how strong the pain of the electric shock was.
Ayoung was in so much pain.
The fact that she was framed and became a criminal,
The fact that a terrible electric shock comes to that man’s gesture,
And in front of that man, I couldn’t wear proper clothes even once,
That it was in an embarrassing way.
Everything was so painful and sad.
Every moment was a series of despair.
All of these circumstances made Ah-young unable to stop her tears.
The expression of a man who seemed to have no sympathy in front of such a pitiful woman.
The man is looking at Ah-young as if she is having fun.
The man goes on with his words.
“After the trial, criminals sentenced to ‘livestock stigma’ are transferred to ‘special offender camps’ where they will work for the rest of their lives.
In a harsher environment than other prisons, you will live in prison like ‘livestock’.”
Ayoung’s pupils shake.
Ah-young, who was lying on her back crying, lifts her upper body and sits down.
A face full of tears and runny nose.
Eyes burning red, and eyelids swollen with tears.
Ah-young’s gaze, terrified, turned to the man.
As she sits down, Ayoung’s pussy rubs against the bare sandy ground.
Ah-yeong doesn’t even notice that her cunt is being rubbed against the bare ground at the man’s words.
Haha.. Haha…”
The reality of ‘Lee Ah-young’, who was framed and branded as a ‘cattle’.
Ah-yeong realizes that her situation is even more dire.
‘For the rest of my life, I have to be confined to a concentration camp and do only labor.’
When this comes into my head,
Ayoung’s heart starts beating wildly.
She and she breathes heavily, and she stares into the man’s face.
“However, there are special punishments received in other ways that do not go to the ‘special offender camp’.
It is a way to become a ‘special livestock’ that contributes to the country by living a lifetime with ordinary people in society.”
“…”
“If a criminal volunteers to become a ‘special livestock’, he will not be imprisoned in a concentration camp,
You can live a normal life and live out the rest of your life in society.
..Criminals who received the ‘stigma of livestock’ live while serving sentences as criminals and prisoners,
When they become ‘special livestock’, they become ‘human livestock’ in the true sense.”
“Special..Cattle..? And… A normal life…?”
Ayoung’s lips trembled.
‘Human cattle.’
It was the first word I had ever heard in my life.
There are no words that are as incongruous as this one.
Livestock to humans were two words that didn’t quite fit together side by side.
A man who doesn’t care what Ah-yeong says and keeps talking.
“Mr. Lee Ah-yeong. After being tried, apply to the person in charge to become a ‘special livestock’ yourself.
In other words, say that you want to contribute to society as a ‘human livestock’ in society.”
“…”
“If you accept my offer, exactly three years from now, on the day of September 1st, I will clear all false accusations against Mr. Lee Ah-young.”
“..Yeah? Um… Jung…Really?”
For the first time since Ah-yeong was captured, she puts on a hopeful expression.
In an instant, the sense of incongruity with the word “Human livestock” Disappears.
“Yeah. After Lee Ah-young applied for special punishment to become a ‘human livestock’,
Exactly three years, after living a life as a ‘human livestock’, I will clear up all the false accusations against Ayoung Lee.
And, I will make Lee Ah-young go back to her normal daily life. I promise.”
“Ha.. I will! Offer, I’ll accept!”
I’ve been framed for the rest of my life,
Lee Ah-yeong, who was destined to live as the worst criminal until she died.
Since being kidnapped, there is not a single hope.
In A-young’s situation, which was so desperate, it seemed like a ray of light had come down for the first time.
“Good. Ayoung Lee. If you decide to accept the offer, I have a few things to tell you.”
“Yes Yes! Yes.. Al.. Alright!”
“You must remember everything I am about to say. Don’t forget, remember for sure.
First, tomorrow, after the trial, apply to the person in charge to receive special punishment as a ‘special livestock’.
Say you want to live out the rest of your life serving your country in society, not in a camp.
If the person in charge asks questions, warns and asks other questions,
Emphasize that Mr. Lee Ah-yeong knows everything and that he made his own decision.”
“..Yeah! All right.”
“Until the end, keep the stance of ‘I want to do it’.
Also, there are things that criminals who want to apply as ‘human livestock’ must memorize before applying.”
The man holds out a small piece of paper with a coating on it.
Ayeong takes the paper with both hands.
A few things were written in small print.
“I hope you read a few sentences written on that piece of paper now, and memorize them all by tomorrow morning.
It’s not something difficult. Unlike general livestock, because of the special nature of living in society,
In particular, there are things that special livestock should always keep in mind.
A description of the offer is here.
If Ayoung Lee accepts the offer and wants to clear her name after 3 years,
Please bear in mind what I just said, and do it.
If you reject my offer… Of course, Ah-young’s reputation will not be cleared.”
“..Yeah! All right.”
In fact, it sounded more like a threat than an offer, but
It was a proposal that wouldn’t be bad at all for Ah-yeong if she just listened to the immediate contents.
“Tomorrow morning, before going to the courthouse, I will finish the rest of the work. Good night.”
The man entered the building, leaving Lee Ah-young sitting on the dirt floor behind.
Ayoung is left alone, holding the coated paper in her hand,
I stare blankly at the man entering the building.
After a while, Ayoung gets up from her seat,
Shake off dirt and dust from all over the body, including the pussy.
“..Thank god..”
If an ordinary person had heard what a man was saying,
He might have questioned whether it was dangerous to apply for “Human livestock.”
However, Ayoung had no such doubts at all.
For Ayoung, she just thought she was lucky.

〈Stigma of livestock: ‘special livestock’ 〉
Special livestock is an additional punishment given to more serious criminals.
Unlike group prisoners, they are punished for a special purpose.
Among the criminals sentenced to the punishment of ‘livestock stigma’, the criminal judged to be the most guilty is,
Under the judgment of the Supreme Court, they are appointed as ‘special livestock’.
‘Special livestock’ is different from other serious criminals sentenced to ‘livestock stigma’.
Instead of being imprisoned in a concentration camp, they live in social institutions with special purposes.
For offenders subject to this additional punishment,
In addition to the ‘cattle stigma’ stamped on the left hip,
Additionally
A “Special livestock” Brand is stamped on the right hip.
The criminal sentenced to this punishment, with the identity of a ‘human livestock’,
Living in society with ordinary people, not in concentration camps,
〈 Contribute to society〉 and live the rest of your life.
‘Special livestock’ will live a life as ‘human livestock’ in the true sense,
Unlike ‘general livestock’ criminals who are punished in closed places,
It is a principle to be punished in an open place.
…
Naturally, Ayoung did not know the details of the ‘special livestock’.
###
Late morning,
Space overlooking the yard.
A stake installed on one side of the yard.
The chain attached to the stake is connected to the inside of the kennel.
Someone in it wakes up.
‘Where is this…?
Why am I lying here?
What am I doing here?
In fact, maybe I’m still in a terrible nightmare?
Won’t I wake up to the sound of an alarm ringing on my phone in my bed?’
All sorts of hopeful imaginations run through Lee Ah-young’s head.
Lee Ah-young is completely curled up in the cramped kennel.
‘Too cold..
Is summer over now?
Since the day I was kidnapped is September 1st… Maybe today is the early morning of September 3rd.’
It wasn’t the chilly fall weather yet, but
Ayoung is almost naked facing the wind blowing in the early morning hours.
This kind of outfit… No, it was cold weather to go to sleep with a body like this.
Ayoung is lying down without a blanket.
To beat her cold, her whole body curled up as much as possible.
There is no door at the doorway of the kennel where Ayeong is lying.
It’s clearly pierced.
The cold wind blowing from there caresses Ah-young’s buttocks and back.
A woman’s genitals, which I was taught to be the warmest in a woman’s body.
It was cold as if the inside of her pussy was filled with cold air.
No matter how much I shrank, it wasn’t warm.
“..This.. Is not a dream, right..”
Ah-yeong sings quietly.
She had shed so many tears. It seems that there are no more tears left to shed.
Ahyoung, can’t sleep.
In a situation like this, it’s only natural…
Ah-young hasn’t eaten anything since she was kidnapped.
Hunger, which I didn’t feel yesterday because of the agony and shame, comes this dawn.
This time, touch your left buttock.
Still bitter How long will this stigma last?
Catch the mind
Desperate situation is right. An unfortunate situation is also true.
But, still.. For me.. Hope remains.
“Three years.. If you hold out for three years.. You can go back..”
Ayoung has lived a very bright and splendid life.
Also, I was planning to live a shining and splendid life.
Originally, she was that perfect, and that’s because she was such a proud woman.
Then she fell into the abyss.
But,
A ray of hope descended from the hole in the abyss.
Of course, the person who pushed himself into despair in the first place,
It was like giving a bottle and giving medicine, giving a string of hope,
Ayoung didn’t want to think about that.
I was just thankful and fortunate that I only had to hold on for three years.
Ayoung relies on the light of the moonlight,
I read the words written on the paper the man handed me over.
〈The attitude that special livestock should have in society〉
Special livestock obey the orders of all citizens.
Special livestock are not treated as persons.
Special livestock cannot refuse anything.
It wasn’t difficult to memorize.
However, it was never something I wanted to memorize.
ㅡ
The next morning.
Without saying a word, the man removes the necklace from Ah-young’s neck.
“Huh..? ..Sense..Thank you.”
The man takes Ah-young and enters the building.
Ah-young takes a shower after a long time.
Ah-young came out after washing her body clean.
After washing and coming out, in front of Ah-yeong, it wasn’t that terrible crop top she had been wearing.
The one-piece dress Ah-young wore on the day she was kidnapped was lying there.
On September 1st, all the clothes Ayoung was wearing at a drinking party.
Underwear, dresses, shoes. All the ‘plain and pretty clothes’ were placed.
Ah-young remembers her life before being kidnapped and feels bittersweet.
Still,
Out of all the facial expressions she has made since coming here, she shows the brightest expression.
For Ah-young, who had to stay half-naked all day without proper clothes,
Wearing those clothes was such a great happiness itself.
The man, to Ah-young, who came out in a proper attire,
Provide meals.
Ayoung,
I was being treated like a human for the first time by this man.
Maybe.. It may be the first and last ‘human treatment’..
Ah-yeong talks about the proposal she made with the man for the last time.
Ayoung will apply to become a ‘special livestock’,
After three years, the man clears Ah-young of his false accusations.
For Ayoung, it was not a bad morning.
Then, a convoy of criminals arrives at the building.
Ah-young gets into the car alone.
The cops put handcuffs on my hands.
The car starts and Ah-young looks out the window.
The dog house where Ayoung was lying.
That space where Ayoung suffered.
All of that goes away
..I don’t want to see you again.
Had it not been for the handcuffs,
It must have felt like going back home.
