Chapter 1
6 p.m.
It was time for office workers to clock out.
These days, what companies considered important was work-life balance.
Perhaps that was why the office became very busy starting five minutes before six.
People stood up, gathering cushions, dolls, and all sorts of things that made one wonder why they carried them around the company in the first place.
Everyone preparing to leave in their own way had one thing in common.
"Taeyang. Finish this up too."
"This one too."
"This one too~"
They were all handing off their own work to the only contract worker who had not yet left the office.
"Yes."
On the name tag hanging from the contract worker's neck, atop a solid, muscular body visible even through his suit, was the name Geum Taeyang.
Having taken on all the work everyone else was supposed to do, Geum Taeyang quietly began working.
In the silent office everyone had left, he drank coffee and tapped away at his computer alone.
It was laughable.
A major corporation everyone wanted to get into.
And yet, instead of the people who worked there earning the highest salaries, it was a contract worker—
More specifically, a subcontracted contract worker—who stayed latest and worked for meager pay.
For Geum Taeyang, work-life balance was nothing more than a new privilege of the modern aristocracy known as big-company employees.
What he was doing now was managing a game's server.
Who would believe him if he told them about it?
Even Geum Taeyang hadn't believed it at first, but somehow, he had managed it.
That he, a high-school-equivalency graduate, had somehow ended up writing code in English and checking servers.
"Nnngh—!!!"
And after eight hours passed from when everyone left until today's person in charge arrived…
It was already two in the morning.
"Taeyang. Good work. You can go home."
"Good luck."
Only after the actual person in charge, rather than another contract worker like himself, arrived did Taeyang leave work.
On his way home, Geum Taeyang even stopped by a 24-hour gym.
Since he felt his health would deteriorate even further if he skipped exercise on top of living like this, Taeyang never missed his daily routine and kept at it consistently.
He neatly folded his suit into his bag, put on a white T-shirt and athletic compression shorts, and started working out.
Only after finishing his routine, which took about an hour, did Taeyang leave the gym.
When he checked the time, it was already four in the morning.
If he went home, showered, and got into bed, it would be five.
Tomorrow was Saturday, but he had to go to work in the afternoon.
Taeyang hurried home.
"Haa… I want to live comfortably too."
True to his name, Taeyang imagined a life filled with beautiful women and pleasure, but soon let out a wry chuckle.
"What am I thinking…"
To Taeyang, women were a luxury. He was having trouble just making a living, so when would he have time to pick up women?
Besides, he wasn't even very assertive, despite being someone named Taeyang. Could he even manage to say anything properly with a woman standing in front of him?
Still… he was free to imagine.
Taeyang began imagining a world where everyone worshiped him without his having to do anything.
Didn't everyone think that way?
The thought that everyone would like you for no reason, even if you did absolutely nothing.
'Was there always an alley here?'
As he walked home, Taeyang suddenly looked down an alley he had never seen before.
It seemed passing through this alley would shorten the time it took to get home.
It was the dark of early morning.
It was a dark alley without even a streetlamp, but Taeyang walked into it without fear.
He was fairly athletic, after all, and had once subdued someone who had gone on a rampage with a knife.
Even if there were punks in the alley demanding money, he wasn't afraid at all.
'It's pretty long…'
The alley was longer than he had expected. Thinking it probably wasn't a shortcut and that he shouldn't come this way next time, Taeyang continued forward.
"Huh…? What is this?"
When he emerged from the end of the alley, Taeyang wondered if he was dreaming.
He couldn't help but think so.
Four in the morning was definitely supposed to be dark.
But look at it now.
Wasn't the sun shining brightly down on the streets?
"What the hell?"
Just as he took out his phone to check the time,
Taeyang realized all his belongings had disappeared.
The bag containing his folded suit, and the wallet holding his ID.
Even his phone.
Everything except the clothes he was wearing had vanished.
"Ah, damn it… Was I so tired I fell asleep while walking?"
Taeyang thought he might have fallen asleep in the middle of the alley from exhaustion, dropped everything, and left it behind, so he tried to turn back.
But hadn't the path he had come from disappeared without a trace?
"Ah… What the fuck."
"Eek…!!"
When the irritated Taeyang cursed, a passing woman was startled by his voice.
The woman was an office worker, but she wore clothes emphasizing a narrow waist and large breasts, as if she were a secretary meant to serve as some high-ranking superior's eye candy.
Her cleavage was so blatantly exposed that, on closer inspection, one could tell whether she was wearing a bra or not…
He had no idea where to look.
"A-a man?"
"Y-yes. I'm a man."
"L-lying… Gasp!!!"
The woman was about to call him a liar after hearing his voice, but covered her own mouth.
An unsightly outline showed through the shorts he had not changed out of after working out.
"Ah… I'm sorry. It's not that I'm a pervert. It just happens sometimes."
Thinking that trouble had arisen again because of his enormous endowment, Taeyang immediately apologized.
To be honest, though, it was because the woman in front of him was dressed so damn provocatively.
This was South Korea.
No matter how a woman was dressed, a man whose pants were bulging that much would be arrested.
"Aaaahhh—!!"
Another passerby saw the sight and screamed.
"What? Is he really a man?"
"Oh my, oh my, what on earth is happening?"
Other passersby swarmed over after hearing the commotion.
Every last one of them was a woman. There wasn't a man in sight. But Taeyang had no time to worry about that.
"H-hey, you're the police, right? There's a man here. A man!!"
The office worker standing in front of him was calling the police.
"Haa…"
Oh, what an annoyingly vigorous friend, getting hard at the drop of a hat.
Thinking even his own cock was too energetic for its own good, Taeyang waited quietly.
If he ran for no reason, he would only arouse more suspicion.
Once the police arrived, the fastest way to be released was to cooperate obediently with the investigation and explain that it was merely a physiological reaction.
As befitted someone who had experienced plenty of trouble because of his overly large cock, Taeyang handled it perfectly.
The woman stared at Taeyang as if he might run away.
Perhaps it was because she was much smaller than Taeyang, who was 187 centimeters tall.
She kept twisting her body nervously, too, as if she were afraid.
"Um… e-excuse me… if you don't mind!! C-could I at least have your number—!!"
Nee-naw, nee-naw—!! Wiiiine~!!
How long had he waited?
Soon, a police car arrived amid a cacophony of noise.
"Yes?"
"N-no, it's nothing…"
The woman, lowering her head deeply as if disappointed, practically steaming with embarrassment, went to the awkwardly parked police car, pointed at Taeyang, said something, and began to leave.
Now that the police had arrived,
she had no reason to stay any longer.
Taeyang sighed as he looked at his still-erect cock, unable to tear his eyes away from her alluring figure.
"Ugh, what a pain. Officer Kim, take him to the car yourself."
"Yes, Senior."
'Female police officers?'
When Taeyang saw that both officers who got out of the police car were women, he wiped a hand down his face.
And not just one female officer, but two of them.
This was going to be a long investigation.
*
Officer Kim, who had been called "Officer Kim," approached the 'woman' they had received a report about, thinking that this was just how working life went.
'Wow… She really looks like a man. She could even be a celebrity.'
Officer Kim was startled to see the 'woman,' over 180 cm tall like the men found only in history books, with a sturdy, muscular physique.
A woman had recreated a man to that degree.
Of course, she couldn't really be a man.
All men like the ones in those history books had gone extinct.
Only female celebrities who had to make a living selling fantasies could put on an appearance like that.
After all, men were, on average, 152 cm tall and weighed over 120 kg.
Even so, if only she could hold hands with a man like that just once…
Even the real man she'd seen from far away had made her womb throb and leap so intensely…
"Excuse me. Please get in the police car for now."
"…Yes."
'Listen to that voice. She must be using a voice-modification program.'
Wobble, wobble, wobble…♡
Officer Kim, feeling as if she now understood why other women spent money on celebrities, trembled in both legs as she put the 'de-corset woman' into the police car.
"Ah~ She's obviously a 'de-corset woman.' Is she an aspiring celebrity?"
"…"
In the police car that started moving, the senior officer glanced back and began running her mouth chattily.
"If you're an aspiring celebrity, act like one. There are lots of places to promote yourself these days, like MeTube and all that, aren't there?"
"…"
"You're exercising your right to remain silent? Ha…"
"We've arrived."
"Officer Kim. Bring her inside. The informant reported a man for assault, but… this is practically a criminal."
Even after they reached the police station, the senior officer's mouth did not stop.
"No! I told you I didn't do it!!"
"Didn't do what, then?!"
"Hey! Your Saseongpa gang definitely did this, didn't you!!"
The inside of the police station was noisy with complainants and arrested criminals.
If there was anything unusual, it was that every single person was a woman.
As if men did not even exist here.
Yet the noisy police station fell silent as if by magic when the senior officer and Officer Kim entered.
It wasn't because of the two of them.
It was because of the 'de-corset woman' following between them.
"Wow…"
A 'de-corset woman' with the perfect appearance of a man sculpted by the gods—enough to draw a gasp from anyone.
There was no way anyone could keep from looking at him.
"Uh… so, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say may be used against you, and you have the right to an attorney…"
The senior officer roughly stood the 'de-corset woman' in front of her desk and read him the Miranda warning.
"What, you're not going to say a word? You were arrested because you committed a crime."
"I am innocent."
"Ugh…♡?!"
"Hnngh♡"
"Haaah…♡!!"
As soon as the 'de-corset woman' spoke a single word,
the police station began filling with the pheromones exuded by females in heat.
Throb…!!
The illegal object inside the 'de-corset woman's' pants stirred at the smell, but no one had the leisure to pay attention to it.
"Ha… damn. This is driving me crazy. Was your voice always like that? Or did you modify it?"
"This is my natural voice."
"Wow… Your natural voice sounds this much like a man's? With talent this exceptional… Is the entertainment industry really that tough these days? Tell me. Why did you do it?"
"I don't really understand what you mean… It's simply a physiological response."
"What are you talking about?"
Perhaps irritated by their conversation going in circles, the senior officer angrily stood the 'de-corset woman' up.
"Don't you know a de-corset woman isn't allowed to wear one of these?"
Gahk—!!
"Ugh!! If you grab me like that…"
"What do you mean, if I grab you like that? Ha… You criminal bastard. Don't you know de-corset women aren't allowed to wear a penis sheath?"
"I don't know what you're talking about…"
"There's evidence right here in plain sight, and you're still denying it? Officer Kim. Make sure you record this properly."
"Yes!!"
The camera started rolling.
Annoyed, the senior officer grabbed the short athletic shorts the 'de-corset woman' was wearing.
In a world where the male-to-female ratio was 1:10,000, entertainers existed to satisfy women.
They were colloquially called de-corset women.
There was nothing wrong with them dressing up and pretending to be men.
But wearing a penis sheath, the exclusive preserve of men, was illegal.
In fact, even wearing one in public, whether or not you were a de-corset woman, was illegal.
Anyway, how could she be so brazen even after breaking the law?
Someone might have mistaken her for a real man.
After all, even the most famous celebrity seen on TV was closer to androgynous-looking than truly male.
'Some kind of special-effects makeup…? Or magic?'
But if she had reproduced a man's appearance—one found only in history books—with such unrealistic accuracy, it was even harder to believe.
Thinking it was special-effects makeup used in movies, or magic, the senior officer grabbed the pants and pulled them down.
Whack—!!
"Ow… Why is this penis sheath so hard?!"
When the pants came down, the feel of the hard club striking her forehead made the senior officer rub it irritably.
"Did you get that properly, Officer Kim? This criminal wearing a penis sheath."
"S-Senior… I-it's in front… In front…"
"In front? What's wrong with the front?"
Still rubbing her forehead, the senior officer checked whether the criminal wearing a penis sheath had been captured properly, then irritably looked forward at Officer Kim, who seemed utterly dazed.
"Huh?"
A thick, hard club, enormous as a sack, thrust before her eyes.
Sniff… sniff—!!
A powerful pheromone scent that made a woman's womb open
paralyzed the senior officer's mind in an instant.
"There's no way this is real."
Tap…!!
Unable to face reality, the senior officer grabbed the club she thought was a penis sheath.
Thump…! Thump…!!
"!!!!"
But how could this possibly be fake?
She could feel the pulse of veins and the warmth of a human body in her hand.
"A-a man…? I-it's a real cock…?"
As if the senior officer's words had been a declaration,
everyone in the police station moved as one.
"We're sorry!!"
"We didn't realize you were a man, sir!!"
"Please kill us!!"
The police, the criminals, and even ordinary complainants
all began bowing their heads and apologizing.
'What in the world is going on here?'
Taeyang alone couldn't understand what was happening,
so he simply stood there with his huge cock exposed.
