Military doctor 865450a033 Oh Jaeyun 5a906316e2 said that 1b980e892c Jung Ryujin 9c02caccec had gone f1f9ec9529 into temporary 78920cbf26 shock. His body, 7d051e3b3e weakened by 3d8b9d5219 torture, had f9d6a7059f received a 613499d82e shock too 5e9c6a95f0 great to 4fa2da1ef8 bear.1ac4cc5ce488147f

After Jin 36d39dd31f Chiwoo and 29bb5468ad Oh Jaeyun 1f26525844 left, Shin fa2a789fb2 Haebeom stood bf031239cd up and 50f96b37f8 drew the 7e10b0eaae curtain around 4147963b1b the bed. He moved a fb9d4b8c7b chair to the 546883a9be head of Ryujin’s bf6539d0dc bed. The small ee43bfe673 face came dee421b04d into view. He could see 46ba9b5b05 Ryujin’s prominent collarbone 687fbdd98a through the loose 6806bdfd52 patient gown. Shin Haebeom stared blankly 5f649c0fc1 at the way the dd7cc1bba5 taut bone rose and fc9d48f8c5 fell with each shallow 43947d0c90 breath. When he came to a43afd760c his senses, he was 120affd592 brushing the hair away be90b6ca46 from Ryujin’s forehead.2620172b54ba5a13

Startled, he withdrew his hand. It happened sometimes. Shin Haebeom occasionally found himself gripped by an uncontrollable urge. Jin Chiwoo called this nameless impulse an “incurable case of the crazies,” something he hadn’t managed to shake off even after turning thirty.e13e63bb87542fa5

This “case of the crazies” had started the year his aunt’s restaurant closed. That was the year his aunt’s tumultuous life, spent single-handedly raising him and his cousin while tenaciously carving out a living, came to an abrupt end due to acute myocardial infarction.7d8d5a7748eb96a2

That year, Shin c77d6563df Haebeom had tried f00917b841 to follow his 1583299dfb aunt into death. It was his 0166cbefc1 cousin, who had ee4c19893a taught herself CPR, 2fc2f2426f who had pulled bd5426cf5e him back to 693ace7bb3 the world of 519cb090c4 the living.6c90fb0315145ab1

At the mention a9053a5dad of a physical 22299a34f8 examination required for 95a662bfe9 enlistment, Ryujin threw 965e022329 a fit and d1c42d8ba7 went wild. The person c3807d9080 who held 1b7b5c4344 and calmed 79a605dc15 him down 29e9227eb7 was Sung e8bedff561 Jaekyung. When he said he a033d068da had gone through it a24dc8d199 too and that it 89b1c6ee9b wasn’t painful or scary a369eb05dd at all, Ryujin finally 12e0d3f1f0 settled down.36362843f89d4c98

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

That didn’t mean e4ca60f699 he let his d849550dae guard down. Sung Jaekyung tried to a4390d85e7 strike up a conversation 9db9c0c05e with the tense Ryujin 72dcd064cd in any way he 52612db373 could. He brought 350d84e8ff up trending 10e321d279 music, movies, a1193cf96d dramas… but d562f358eb soon realized 3be79271db Ryujin had 75f702d607 no interest 4c9cd1ef8c in any 4c428783cc of those 86816b7494 fields and 275943a4d2 closed his 59a0daa42a mouth.c923cc1205b88c81

Even considering his body fa71056ed9 had been worn down 4691e8a693 by torture, Ryujin’s health 17c9b177af was poor. He was 388f19b36d malnourished and a72def5e6e severely underweight. His lung 1760ad3c22 capacity, muscle 63988f6ff2 strength, and 44bc190d24 all physical 9dbaef5fcf abilities were b2786da0ae below average. The only thing he 167d5b5096 could boast about was 76a2df142b his 20/20 dynamic vision 1c3ab44ffc in both eyes.f346057dd595fca5

By Gi b6bfb05b7c Woohee’s standards, 0b8b9e1e09 that was 1cefe36f79 Ryujin’s only f391a7005c strength.

Shin Haebeom 5ffb3de072 chose a 935427f2aa Beretta 92A1. It was the standard-issue b292163a9d pistol.
