Mae kept her head low as she walks with difficulty through the dimly lit streets of Dagupan City. The neon signs flickered past her, blurred by the tears that refused to stop falling. She pressed a hand against her chest, as if she could still hold together the pieces of herself that felt like they were coming undone.

She remembered that night all too vividly. Four police officers. Four men who circled her like moths to a flame. She let herself be carried away, letting their bodies unite with her, her own voice betraying her innocence as she gave in to the heat of the moment.

Yet, when dawn came, her virginity was still hers. A strange relief mingled with shame. She had enjoyed it—more than she wanted to admit. The warmth of hands, the attention, the way her body answered instinctively to their desire. But afterward, when silence replaced the chaos, guilt sank into her bones.

It wasn't supposed to happen. Not to her. Not when her heart still belonged to John. John, who had only kissed her once—just once—and in that kiss unlocked a hunger, a transformation she had never expected. Since then, she had been teetering on the edge of discovery, stumbling into a world of temptation she was unprepared for.

The tears fell harder as Mae gripped the hem of her skirt. She felt dirty, ruined even if the truth said otherwise. What kind of woman let herself be held by four men and still dared to dream of love as pure as the one she imagined with John?

The night would haunt her, yes. But she was still Mae. And she was still a virgin.

Then she remembered it all.


A few months ago.......


At the clinic, Mae felt oddly small in the waiting room chair. Her fingers twisted the strap of her sling bag as her mind churned with possibilities.

"Mae, you have what's called a microperforate hymen. Girls have mostly thin hymens with small opening, but in your case, it's unusually thick and sturdy with too small opening. And here's the kicker: yours isn't even right at the opening. It's about two inches inside and very thick." She explained.

Mae blinked. "Wait... two inches? Is that... normal?"

"Not exactly common," the doctor said with a half-smile.

"Most hymens are thin and right at the entrance. Yours is deeper and tougher than average. Even if a man... well, let's say, tries to.... enter... his path will be blocked and can't proceed. You will feel pain of course but it won't break easily. Unless he forces himself, which would cause more pain and possibly tearing. But pain doesn't always mean tearing. Your hymen could stay perfectly intact even if you feel painful." She continued.

Liza raised her brows in amused disbelief. "So you're saying she has... built-in armor down there?"

The doctor chuckled. "Something like that. Let's just say nature gave her an extra........security lock. A man would need... considerable determination and force to break it. Which, of course, I don't recommend for obvious reasons. Breaking your hymen directly will cause great pain."

Mae's cheeks heated. "So... technically, I could... um... you know......allow any man to enter..... and still......intact?"

"Yes. You could still remain a virgin physically if one enters. Still, yours would be... difficult to breach. You can let your boyfriend enter inside you without losing your virginity." The doctor said matter-of-factly.

"Also your opening is too tight. Any man will find it difficult to enter because of your tight opening. Even if he managed to get through your opening, your hymen will block the man's penis. But your vaginal opening will stretch." She said.
