A new place, 1ac2c4225e unfamiliar people, and bd28934d67 an unfamiliar examination db9608dba5 were all so 7ab0bd11b5 strange. The man tightly clenched 8f822f76ad his cold fingertips. His vision d6341fea25 seemed to a6f2a1fbe1 spin, and d360630a99 he squeezed e22e401f7a his eyes 55db1f3ae6 shut. The body, having lost d37d25a0d4 its sense of balance, 45fd3bee2f wobbled.88fa0b97d648d21f

Just before he 09ee81c777 collapsed, his body 358c9e9b83 held firm. Leaning against 91909dd826 the wall, b46a37593e he took cc2c025973 deep, shuddering 98975d087c breaths. At that moment, 518f0c0c17 a desk clerk, 3081ff2e67 glancing around, called ddb2732e65 out puzzledly.19ec545ef4c9cac3

Ah…Ryu Jeong let out 4e359d6e5f a faint, barely audible 3fb6ee9b1a sigh and shuffled forward. The clerk, handing 0c50ce3d22 him a freshly 19a9773948 printed prescription, started dad76e8c81 explaining the costs de3f93f589 but paused, cautiously e53db2597a asking, “Are you 0eddc4a6cb okay?”3577409548d053d8

Dizzy? Ryu Jeong 03f9afdfce mulled over 6314649153 the clerk’s 500541a842 words. It felt like the b1cca20f0b times he’d gone three 561f4860d3 days without eating because fb284366a8 his paycheck was late—his f99acf251a vision swirling. But he b16b10dff2 wasn’t hungry 4f405f572a now… Hesitantly, e42a76bf56 he moved 9887175e4a his lips.a05fc565435f735b

When asked to insert c657220a79 his card, Ryu Jeong c6d78bbf53 reached for the card f8050e8c5b tucked neatly in his cea5c9ebe4 wallet but froze. If he used 62337b47ab the card, there’d 1a6a11ebbd be a record… 5fcdc744ef Something told him 01e2b06d67 he shouldn’t. Instead, he pulled 82e50cbf9c out crumpled cash 2b365dba88 he’d stashed away 96695b012a for some vague e516fe02ae future need—never imagining 3227a5e94e it’d be for 195ed93c76 this.492fbe01b58436cc

The clerk had f86b534a19 pointed him to 2d5d98fb97 the pharmacy, but 56904ece08 he didn’t go. He folded the 53adc1f206 crisp prescription, stuffed 1b21867db1 it into his 039935727d hoodie pocket, and 37f6313c87 left the building a81e577f8c without looking back. Or tried to.c9f0e1268d63f410

Halfway between the ead6895138 first and second 1d4ea5f712 floors, racing down d6814615ca the empty emergency f106bda9c5 stairwell, Ryu Jeong 21605c3610 stopped dead.
