Chapter 32 – Physical Examination
The weekday passed and the weekend came.
If tomorrow was the weekend, I would have had sex all morning with the thought that I would wake up early tomorrow morning and not have to go to school instead of going to play.
But yesterday, he ejaculated only twice and fell asleep right away, and now, in the early hours when the sun hadn’t even risen. We left the bedroom.
Because today is the day of the long-awaited physical examination.
It was also a physical examination for military service that all Korean men must undergo.
Ugh… I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go too much!
The more I heard about the military in the news these days, the more I didn’t want to go there.
Even if you don’t want consideration or respect for the soldiers, wouldn’t it be too much to belittle and ridicule. To those who were taken by force for two years and dedicated two years for the country.
And poor school lunches known for internal corruption, absurd military culture, bullying executives, and even the damned Ministry of National Defense, which brazenly says that he is your son when he is injured, even though he is our proud son when he is called last.
It hurt so much that I had to sacrifice my body while listening to all kinds of inconveniences, ridicule, and belittling voices for this country that treated soldiers as inferior to dogs.
Still, still, if the main enemy comes downstairs with a weapon, the only people who will protect my family and the person I love most in the world, Ji-yeong, are those who were forcibly conscripted like me, so I have no choice but to go. Ugh.
“Is there any other way?”
When I got on the regular city bus, Ji-young, who sat next to me, carefully asked me a question.
Another question like this.
Even though I’m getting annoyed with the repeated questions. All of these questions came out of concern because I didn’t want to be dragged into the military, so far from being angry, I couldn’t stop smiling.
“Should I go to church right now?”
Maybe conscientious objection? You seem to be thinking about that. Is it really possible?
I’ve lived as an atheist until now, but the day to undergo a physical examination did not come, and the Ministry of National Defense nodded obediently when I heard that I had become a believer in God.
“Are you okay.”
There were times when Jiyoung showed such a cute side to the point that it was equivalent to the slim chance of finding something worthy of money by digging the ground without any countermeasures.
She was walking along the road she was well on, and even if something stood in her way, she calmly avoided it and thought about going back.
She couldn’t do anything on her own, so she couldn’t keep her hands and feet still, and she kept rolling her head.
Aww you’re cute
I’m sure I’m a very blessed guy.
Where in the world is this girlfriend?
When other women told me that their boyfriend was being taken to the army, I wasn’t sure what kind of reaction she would react to, but I could tell that Jiyoung’s behavior was quite excessive.
“Two years is too soon.”
It was on the internet
“…”
I turned her body and gently hugged Jiyoung.
Then she stroked the back of her head and patted her on the back.
“You’re not going right now, are you?”
I’m just going for a physical exam.
I’m not even going to do her hair up and go straight to the county.
She’s already feeling insecure like I’m not around, so I’m glad that she’s relying on me this much, but I’m also terrified to imagine having to be confined to a place where Jiyoung isn’t around.
But first of all, I have to pray for a level 4 or exemption because a body problem I don’t know is discovered.
“It’s okay. Jiyoung.”
More and more as time goes on. Bus passengers are increasing. Among them, 1% of the men especially envy us, or me, the boyfriend who sits next to Jiyoung. I glared at him with eyes filled with 99% jealousy.
I sneered at their gaze and passed it lightly.

“Ah…”
“Crazy…”
“It’s pretty. Wow.”
“You said your girlfriend was following you all the way here?”
Victims like me who arrived at the Military Manpower Administration and saw Ji-young following me into the building couldn’t help but admire.
The first is because of her beautiful appearance, the second is because of her kind-hearted girlfriend who followed her to the physical examination site at this early hour, and the last is just that there is a woman in this male bathhouse.
“Hun-ah… These stairs are big. Do you want to fall over there?”
The stairs to the second floor were quite tall. Ji-young asked carefully if she still didn’t want to send me to the army, saying she didn’t want to fall over there.
Ugh, ugh… Wouldn’t it be impossible to get injured enough to be exempted unless you have a disability that requires an arm or a leg to live inconveniently for the rest of your life? Is he thinking of making me disabled?
“Well, let’s get tested first and think about it. Huh?”
“…”
“Huh? Jiyoung.”
“Haha… Ok.”
I sent her to her guardian, her standby seat, and I, to the place where her pitiful victims gathered, who were splitting her breasts as if waiting for the judgment of her king of hell…
“How can you date a girl like that with that face?”
“You must have a lot of money, right? And even the nicest girlfriends only follow the physical examination center?”
“Threats…! Yeah. It won’t be explained unless it’s a threat!”
“You bastard!”
If you’re envious, say you’re envious.
Why are you so impatient that you can’t cut me down? It’s just pitiful.
Still, I should forgive her with a generous heart, having Ji-young as her lover, who shrugs her shoulders to the point of ascending to heaven. Huh. Huh!
Effortlessly, with jealous piercing glances and ignoring her words, she went for a physical exam with those who might be her motives.
Changing clothes, solving simple problems that are no different from elementary school problems on a computer, drawing blood, measuring height and weight, eye exams, liver levels, and so on. After receiving all the essentials, I proudly received the first class of active duty.
Fuck.
“Um… My heart hurts. Couldn’t this have come out well?”
Not unlike me, a man who had a first-class grade continued his gibberish with a bewildered face next to him.
“Ah! My arm hurts too! Can’t you give me a 4th grade?”
“…”
A person like that person who is impatient to get a 4th grade. Have you seen many people who behaved worse than that? Those in military uniforms listened to the man eager to somehow lower his physical grade without saying anything.
And when you want to finish talking.
“Take the medical certificate.”
“…”
Just one word. When he said that he would consider it when he went to the hospital and got a medical certificate, his mouth, which had shown no sign of closing until just now, was firmly shut.
“If you have nothing more to say, can you come out? There are people waiting.”
It wasn’t something to say to me, but it sounded like it was to me, so I hurriedly left the seat.
Then, as I approached Ji-young, who was waiting for me anxiously in the waiting room for guardians, I sighed as I looked at the paper with the word active duty stamped on it.
“Hun-a! How did it go?”
Ji-young greeted me as if she had waited, hoping that the 4th grade would come out even if it was not possible.
“You’re in first grade…?”
“…”
Ji-young, who saw that the word was not a lie and that the first grade was written on the paper, wondered if she was speechless. She only looked at the paper carefully.
Then all of a sudden. Was she thinking of something? He took my hand and led me upstairs.
“Hey!”
Looking around, I called out loudly as I moved unhesitatingly toward the soldiers who were grading people who had come for physical examinations.
“Yes?”
“Um… Jiyoung?”
The soldier who caught her gaze was a bit surprised when a pretty woman suddenly called him.
“He has a first-class active duty job, what should he do to become a public interest?! No, he just needs to have a few children?!”
“What, what?!”
“Ah, kid?!”
Everyone here, including me, was shocked.
Ah, Irene! To think of having a child already for me! Then I wasn’t the only one who thought of a grave site, let alone marriage?! Oh my! I feel like I’m going to get an erection here! Ah, Aang! What a server!
Of course, there was no way such a shortcut would work, so the soldier, who was obviously embarrassed, quickly managed his expression and explained kindly, and the happening ended here.
“It’s okay because it’s okay. You’re so depressed like you’re going to the military.”
I came out of the Military Manpower Administration. I smiled at Jiyoung, who had a pouty expression.
I, the party to her, have such a complicated mind. It hurts more than me, so I feel good, but I can’t hide the misery.
Still, I was laughing, trying to hide my feelings because I didn’t want this kind of reaction.
“Huh? Jiyoung.”
I stood in front of Jiyoung and let her cheeks hang down and teased her, but Jiyoung did not take any action.
One thing I’m worried about here. Doesn’t it happen to me that my girlfriend wears rubber shoes backwards while in the military, as shown on TV? Um… I don’t think that would be the case with Jiyoung.
“Okay… There’s still time.”
“Yes.”
“There, you can’t like anyone other than me.”
“Yeah. Of course… Huh?”
Did I not hear well?
“There is a saying in the military that you fall in love with a man because there are no women.”
What kind of crazy bastard is instilling false common sense into my lovely girlfriend?!
“No… I’ll just make sure you don’t think of me like that.”
Jiyoung took my arm and moved her steps.
Her destination was a motel.
A motel in broad daylight… I was so dehydrated before I even went to the military that I thought I would get an exemption.
