Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Experiment

“Damn it. Can’t you move your hips more?”

“Hah. Does this position look comfortable to you? Euk.”

Kang Minseong’s sullen reply made Seo Hajun frown.

There was nothing cute about this guy, yet Seo Hajun couldn’t stop the hand moving below.

What Seo Hajun was shaking wasn’t his own c*ck, but the pleasure came through clearly.

Right now they were holding each other’s c*cks and moving their hands.

A cozy bed and soft light made a peaceful atmosphere.

But neither cared.

Especially not when they had to face each other and hold each other’s c*cks like this, with a guy he’d known for barely any time.

“Damn it, your mouth, seriously.”

“In this situation, euk, isn’t this, at least, polite, euk.”

Kang Minseong, far lower in rank, wouldn’t yield a single word.

Seo Hajun smiled wickedly and tightened the hand holding the c*ck.

He pressed and rubbed the tip hard with his thumb.

Kang Minseong, who had been glaring back defiantly, flinched hard.

His waist trembled and he dropped his gaze.

Even as he scowled at the sudden pleasure, he couldn’t do the same back.

So some reason remained in him.

Of course, Seo Hajun didn’t like that either.

The look in Kang Minseong’s eyes turned fiercer.

Seo Hajun pretended not to notice and rubbed his waist with his other hand, then pulled him close.

Kang Minseong was dragged in helplessly.

Even in the dark, his burning eyes came right up to Seo Hajun’s nose.

Their colliding gazes held no affection, not even a chick’s tear’s worth.

Ten days had passed since this insane experiment began.

He didn’t know how time had gone by so fast.

Of course, it wasn’t enough time for two men who’d just met to happily masturbate each other.

The story of how two soldiers who’d been serving for a decent salary ended up like this goes back ten days.

[D-60]

In a reception room decorated cute and cozy, two healthy men sat.

It was a sight that broke the prejudice that labs should have cold white walls.

Of course, this cozy space was obviously useless consideration for the experiment.

It was no comfort to the two soldiers who’d just heard the shocking news.

“What did you just say?”

Colonel Seo Hajun asked the scientist sitting across from him, his voice trembling at the end.

His thick eyebrows twitched wildly.

If his subordinates who knew his personality had seen it, they’d tease him for a long time.

It was that urgent an expression.

The man who’d calmly introduced himself as Doctor Shin was giving them the worst day of their lives in a businesslike voice.

“The beginning of the biological challenge of same-s*x reproduction…”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean!”

Seo Hajun cut him off impatiently, frustrated that Doctor Shin had only repeated what he’d already said.

The content was annoying enough.

He didn’t want to hear it twice.

Then Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong, who’d been sitting quietly beside him, hesitated and spoke.

He had a strange talent for making his listener feel bad even when he was obviously being polite.

“…You’re saying men can get pregnant if they mate with each other?”

“What…?”

Colonel Seo Hajun repeated loudly without meaning to.

But Doctor Shin only drove the wedge in once more with a machine-like face.

“Yes. That’s right.”

The two soldiers’ faces finally turned pale.

They had volunteered after hearing only that it was an experiment for the country, with no idea of the details.

Of course, the fact that their opinions were barely reflected during the “volunteering” process showed the absurdity of a hierarchical society.

Doctor Shin’s face was so resolute that a needle couldn’t pierce it, and Seo Hajun despaired.

So this is the reward for busting his ass for the country.

There was another thing that made him uneasy.

‘Why are there two people in this experiment?’

“…Exactly what principle makes that possible?”

Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong asked in a suppressed voice, as if he felt a similar crisis.

Doctor Shin shifted his dry gaze and shared the details.

“You two just need to have s*x.”

“Hoo…”

“Hahaha.”

Colonel Seo Hajun thought of the superior who’d pushed him into this ridiculous pit and sighed, sensing he was screwed.

No wonder that nasty bastard had looked so pleased.

Someone higher than a colonel, a fellow called a “star,” couldn’t have been ignorant of the experiment’s details.

Seo Hajun ground his teeth at the scientist before him as if he were his superior.

Meanwhile, Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong, who’d laughed because he assumed it was a joke, stopped when he heard teeth grinding beside him.

‘Surely not.’

“You’re joking, right?”

“I don’t know how to joke.”

At Doctor Shin’s calm answer, Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong swallowed a curse politely inside.

But as always, he had no talent for fixing his tone.

“Then it’s a lie. I can’t do it with another man. Does this even make sense?”

Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong, who’d been trying to deny Doctor Shin’s words, suddenly looked urgently at Colonel Seo Hajun beside him, as if he’d realized something.

“Are you gay, Colonel?”

“F*ck.”

He’d been holding back and holding back.

Even if the news was absurd, Seo Hajun was several ranks above him, and the man kept saying “men” and “gay” and all sorts of b*llshit.

Colonel Seo Hajun, suddenly angry, muttered a curse calmly, making his sexual identity very clear.

Seeing the colonel’s glaring eyes, Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong stiffened again, wondering if he’d been tactless.

“I apologize for not considering your sexual preferences. But that topic is so sensitive that we couldn’t put same-s*x preference in the recruitment notice.”

“Why did you have to pick test subjects from the military?”

“Because the body must be healthy.”

Colonel Seo Hajun, about to ask why again, shut his mouth.

Reproduction, was it?

Right.

The body had to be healthy.

Why did the military have so many healthy men?

The colonel, having mentally cursed the fundamental social system in ways that couldn’t be printed, crossed his arms and thought.

It seemed better when he’d been jumping into the Pachetratra rebel base with two grenades and one rifle.

“…No… Why the hell are you doing this kind of experiment?”

“There are various reasons.”

Doctor Shin closed his mouth there.

Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong, who’d been waiting quietly for those “various reasons” to follow, immediately realized the scientist before him was not flexible.

“And those reasons are…?”

“First, there is the decline in birth rates. If same-s*x couples can also see the fruit of love, it should help raise the birth rate, even a little.”

Slightly admiring that he could say “fruit of love” so dryly, Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong added a prompt.

Somehow it felt like the next words would come out only if he did.

Like a vending machine that spits out a drink only after you put in a coin.

“And?”

“If the experiment between male couples succeeds, we plan to expand the research so that the male side can also become pregnant in male-female couples.”

“…”

“Then we’d have one more solution for infertility, and it could also serve as an active measure for gender equality.”

Anyway, Doctor Shin’s point was one thing.

Men had to give birth.

Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong, who’d never dreamed of marriage, let alone childbirth, covered his face with both hands.

How nice would it have been if he could just quietly take a dishonorable discharge?

Then a fact suddenly occurred to him.

This experiment had a very fatal element, didn’t it?

“Then what about the child?”

“What do you mean, what about the child?”

Unlike the lieutenant’s urgent question, Doctor Shin’s tone was peaceful.

Kang Minseong, his face somehow dark, was about to speak again when a sharp question shot out from beside him.

“Who’s going to raise the child, and is it even a proper human?”

Hearing Second Lieutenant Kang Minseong’s question, the same thought seemed to have occurred to Colonel Seo Hajun.

Kang Minseong, who’d been too flustered to organize his words, looked at Colonel Seo Hajun beside him, thinking that war heroes really were different.

But why had this man, whose medals were piled up like a mountain, been dragged into this kind of experiment?
