Medical Consultation

Medical Consultation explores the delicate intersection of innocence, curiosity, and the quiet turbulence of young adulthood through Emily White's signature blend of emotion and manga-inspired sensuality. The title story follows Vanessa, a shy nineteen-year-old whose routine appointment becomes an unexpected turning point when she encounters a young doctor whose presence unsettles her more than she wishes to admit. In the soft light of the examination room, every gesture feels amplified-his calm voice, her shallow breaths, the quiet closeness of a space where vulnerability and trust intertwine. A vivid moment lingers: Vanessa unbuttoning her shirt just enough for the stethoscope to slip against her skin, her heartbeat fluttering beneath the doctor s fingertips like wings against glass. As questions grow more intimate, so does the tension a fragile, trembling thread drawn between propriety and the mysterious pull of being truly observed. A story of emotional awakening, where innocence brushes against desire in the gentlest, most lingering way.
