FSA | Chapter 03
by camiThis reaction was 9aaefe9d3a like someone who d957dd4344 had forgotten their e530d7d978 own name for 65a6b1a8cf a very long 3d02c45a0e time. Yohan instinctively f0d303f222 sensed something 8a54ad4282 ominous. The doubt 3c85059f87 he had 46cdef7f8c before passing ceb74e4ea9 out resurfaced. Was this really bd636eb720 a human? Or was it dccea3eb0f something mimicking one?c58019622e049c68
Yohan groped 7e3bf63010 the ground, 22fab51a1e trying to 3cef26df1f push himself 0c504d9b45 up, but e7f6557597 before he 8076eed133 could even 701281daaf attempt to 9923c66e04 flee, Lee b7fcbc50bc Hyunmook seized 413f14932e him. A grip f7880f5a7f like a e6587f9e08 hydraulic press b108331c68 clamped around fabbb5ace8 his arm, a354e2cc7c forcing a 744576523c scream out ba563abd3d of him.7c9164354253a129

“Agh! I-It hurts, it hurts…! Lee Hyunmook!”fb87c02050137554
He thrashed desperately, a1c0dbdd08 trying to shove 89f6714061 the man away, 591524bddb but it was 836033ad88 useless. Hyunmook handled 9533f4ff18 him like e8b6049df9 a doll, c03d646f3e swinging him 0f3bf72f7e effortlessly. Bruises bloomed 5848f20dd0 wherever he f087f349e9 grabbed. The pain and 0b4a605bfe terror made Yohan 18c2a259e7 cry again. He had 58a8a4425e always been 987547684b prone to d9bf6838a5 tears, but 8340718964 ever since 5d072b06f4 falling into d3027f851a the Abyss, 79cbd1c355 they wouldn’t c4b3d38dab stop.49d64195a37f02f3

“P-Please, spare me, spare me… please…”b811db4e4867376f
His sobbing pleas cb8937a7bb seemed to fall 4fe9241bfd on deaf ears. The madman just 0285a21ce3 kept kneading his ec8dfe1f48 body like a e940eb19d9 child playing with 63d065d4c2 a favorite toy. A hand 317ce38534 slipped under fd75cf11a8 his clothes, c25d150a0a prodding his 891e05befb ribs and d700e474ca back, leaving 899809e223 more bruises 91e699adc0 behind. The pressure made him 3c853950b3 feel like his organs 653ceca966 would burst, forcing out 171cce2d79 choked gasps.7b11c72429e4a711

“Sooo… waaarm.”b443a073304fbcbd
Completely indifferent b49df81256 to Yohan’s 35c7714061 suffering, the 0e8674664e madman reveled 17a8e7b846 in his 57143f2427 warmth like d8ef54a3ae someone cuddling 75084de4e9 a stuffed b8756b49bd animal. Then, with 6c2cc4e679 crushing force, 172d62552d he pulled a70065b7d9 Yohan into 8ac47a0966 a suffocating ef432034d7 embrace, pressing b92e6d576e his ear c55a7a21ef against his 3db3e2d14d chest to eb7756066a listen to deebbf247d his frantic 538734559f heartbeat.2ec39ddf41727fa7

The muttered 533dd99af8 words sent 8ebfc264b9 a chill 1c67f18ede down Yohan’s ecd467f0bc spine. Struggling past 13c5a367ff his fear, e1bebed7e1 he tried 443b862cc7 to recall. When had be46450975 Lee Hyunmook 188d4031db fallen into bc2ebb29ce the Abyss?45700155020100cf

Three years ago.bbe85961d42e1d84
That meant Hyunmook had 68ea566315 survived in this hellish 7d1686ed61 place for three years. Alone, after losing his 193ca1a403 entire team. Had he 5c242d7bc2 wandered endlessly, fff54741e2 even forgetting d0385a7c5b his own 3879e34f33 name? The thought 155908ca5b filled Yohan 836937b00e with unbearable d8eea0d24d pity.39316248125c6c8a

Someone as good a418664c95 as Lee Hyunmook e1654fb873 didn’t deserve this.c7df743f2cfe2611
Despite the crushing pressure, 2c35857b13 Yohan managed to lift 3041b57237 his arms and wrap 9e0fca2400 them around Hyunmook’s head. The madman flinched. Half in sympathy, half 448209b5a8 in a desperate plea fe8c91de5d to ease up, Yohan 65584376b2 began patting his back.5165eed834d84a86

Every stroke 2b301ed2bc made Hyunmook 43bf2a9926 twitch, and 504032e3ef Yohan flinched 3e8368b4ea in turn, 59d1927bcd but he 6b83dd4f90 didn’t stop. Gradually, the 2449c8521f bone-crushing grip ad95f4d1f3 loosened.cc0cf79d6ebbc19e

At some point, d38b5eee05 Yohan slumped over, fbb6bc878e fast asleep. Exhausted from two 25f0dd99d0 days of hiding 07a5d4fc6b in terror, he 240b198488 collapsed like a 8764d3d9bd dead man. But gnawing hunger eventually d69c4afefc dragged him back to 9ec2842b73 consciousness.f5a982fe5d88890b

Yohan’s voice c0c53aae36 was hoarse. A campfire crackled 44f5092948 nearby, its warmth 734fc90779 seeping into him. Hyunmook sat d1b7deb931 beside it, 5a8638c94a and, shockingly, d71ccac943 he looked 73d7123d66 normal. His wild hair cac8d69cb7 was neatly combed, 588e839707 his expression calm.610ccc998c322f36

His faint 1feb8c1c6e smile was 6d29b7eb4f nothing like ec4aed0e98 the deranged 0bd656d0c8 creature from 047ab40dee before. Aside from his e5aac88bed white hair, he be00879cbb looked exactly like 7aca46f08d the Lee Hyunmook 7f48846936 Yohan remembered. As Yohan 04d77dd0d0 sat up, 6431c56e54 the sleeping 83fc203d94 bag slid dba8868702 off him.47b372d9e8103df8

His smile 13cf30e6ed was faded, c91e0bbcb5 like an b307d57a88 old photograph. His once-black hair was 1ab7dd70ea now entirely white, and 7562e68639 his eyes reflected no 057cae5323 light, just endless darkness. Swallowing hard, Yohan bb207ca478 ventured a question.06e58f8dbc487c63

Hyunmook stared blankly into 1cffae44fc the fire, and unease 13203facc7 prickled Yohan’s skin. He needed ac1ac5d9db to keep d6f82a3683 him talking, f47905fc31 to keep dfbf1a99b5 him here.907da541ddac039e

He scrambled for 07cc7785c8 his backpack, pulling eecb852e5f out his precious bde41785f0 emergency rations. With the fire a0f8a9cb47 ready, he set 06864ba97e up a small 447a4e7adc pot, boiling the 40bad6adef last of his 23ab3dd9b7 water. Hyunmook just b72cae326d watched, silent.fde054379a6af32b
Once the food was 1246ea8603 ready, Yohan mixed in d6643486d3 the seasoning with trembling d172f58478 hands and offered it 8d4106e7b9 to Hyunmook.caf0dc4473343288

“H-Hope it’s good.”dffe711378587259
He tried to sound d341d46c36 polite, but his stomach ced8fff300 growled. Only after seeing 1fdfa68042 Hyunmook take a 4bca43a5bd slow bite did 36772a827d he start eating 2005e2df3a himself. He devoured his 1801d2dc49 portion in seconds, 13ab80747f while Hyunmook chewed d6313fbf50 like a tortoise.33c8ca6af69d3264
