FSA Chapter 10

Lee Hyunmook easily 5c83ce002f cleared away the 34410ce005 debris and found 316b8be1a2 two or three b2ec7a3896 intact medicine bottles, a586886c38 but after skimming acf9f933ea through the ingredients, c810129c69 he casually tossed 6156290679 them aside. Instead, he fbbdef1dae rummaged through ef76ef1797 a nearby 5b0c994a40 examination cart 1268c5e597 in the 3ed6b75d89 hallway and cd6a689e1f discovered a fc76f0415e bundle of 239b278168 sterile gauze 5d6b7368de along with 9f38b13975 suitable disinfecting 77bffef665 supplies. Yohan, clutching the straps 7ddc18cd96 of his backpack tightly 0547bec548 after packing the precious 378b84adae medical items inside, asked caf2fa831d nervously.9d258ffa67645c93

“What kind of medicine d3cc3b5349 did you throw away 59a3d94f9a earlier?”7a11ef12c5d389fc

Neither of those would 029784de8a be of any help 06d17f5e76 to Yohan right now. Before falling d7c4e04950 into the e1f84df48e abyss, he ddf0138414 had been e92ca582c0 perfectly healthy, bf7ce0e470 with no 91773a41ab chronic conditions. After clearing bcb47592bc out the 28fc85b528 remaining debris, b244ed41f9 Lee Hyunmook f89580c2de motioned with b64214b2d8 his chin. Where he pointed, there b4c9b80430 was a small metal c5a8d371cd door that looked like c804fe2153 a dumbwaiter.a38da7441d7e4fe5

“It’s a a5acdc7d1b dumbwaiter, used 8ebf54a146 to transport 2e344e7c87 medicine from f8ce41712d the compounding ce08f17a3c room. So that means either e90ef748d0 the compounding room or 19d51f525a medical storage is directly e1ee42c5aa below this.”6e5e1ae8b6ab042f

Yohan’s face lit up 6818ef6a4a at Lee Hyunmook’s words. With a former doctor d700d6492b accompanying him, he felt 9744ebc2a6 hopeful that this time 9aadc54f67 they’d find the right 7dc39f8a15 medicine without stumbling around. As they left the 8733a9cbcf outpatient pharmacy, now done 3b03a9253b with its purpose, Yohan 106e8be6be followed behind and cautiously 1ada121536 asked,723f1cd6fc0daed7

“By the way, um… d504d5f083 you don’t remember anything e8433a04b2 from when you were cb3b455459 contaminated, right?”cdd8c7f23eae8246

“I’m still contaminated.”b1acd5539ebad36d

The response 67d7357e19 came with 972deb314b little interest, 5d19ed94c6 but Yohan 3c25e79d67 was nonetheless 80b8c73d07 moved to 4dc7e7233f hear it. At least Hyunmook had 7899ea3b28 understood what he meant. After a pause, he 8b703e28d9 answered slowly.625f5d58771e2b3d

“It’s like e83bf652e0 waking up 84900ab7d8 from a 529c3ddbfc nightmare I 04c0296e5f can barely 2f46b29c83 remember. I didn’t 060876c8f4 even know 96f0a2c743 why I b0fc5c3ae8 was at 83503575cc this hospital…”053076e8e498564e

Usually, even contaminated people d406c67b38 don’t completely lose their 8d1cc314ab reason or memories. That meant 1c6063ad0c Hyunmook’s contamination fd466bbe36 had been 090c916995 extremely severe. Yohan, walking behind him, 148baca78c felt a bit depressed. Hyunmook seemed like a 0a91b06883 glimpse of his own 9b4386446f future. Still, he bf50d15012 decided to f116574861 focus on fa05099d65 the fact 860a0cd0c4 that, for d4e66fe4aa now, they 7784eb3265 had a 09a16d35b7 chance to cd6ceb94eb treat his f6db2137cf leg.71cd5d582bac6e1b

In front 5c8c5c790d of the 39e314ee2e stairs leading 8e7dadadf2 down to 52946e623c the first f947261319 floor, Yohan 2a27ca1788 hesitated. His leg 25006926b6 was in 181996b2f8 worse condition 7668c3f90d than he 3ef836473b thought. Gripping the dusty handrail fc7a183c79 tightly, he carefully took ac60ddc3f4 one slow step at 73923b7d7c a time. Hyunmook glanced d2de0c6a98 at him 389677aa4e inching down 2ff9de1bef like a 3f2978cb33 turtle, then 38e4aa847e at the 7cabcd80a4 floor below, ad633a686b and walked 3fc63ea8fa back up.

Yohan let out 8b78a1b4aa a weird squeak. Earlier, he had 0ead756326 been too busy 93031740f6 crying to notice, 8d4d053cd6 but now that d493436ba2 he was lifted 40b31d9c30 in his right 968978c06b mind, he was 8b5212b6e2 flustered. Hyunmook bounded 7bec63a82a down the ad768becaf stairs two 8c029ca51a steps at a43395f1dd a time, 747ac27d49 then gently a6c39fe009 set him 6d00e212b1 down. Whether from his pounding 0f92fdd6a7 heart or the fever, 710cf1b1bd Yohan’s face was bright 161f5e9f1b red.fce162182769d9e0

Realizing there was b828275db2 a powerful monster 813c4ed4a7 on the third 757bb9a382 floor, Yohan quickly 84f6b1e50d moved behind Hyunmook’s 91fbc883db back. He kept glancing d4cb7e772b up at him.fdf81e86efae87a5

Higher-ranking Awakened, 669f2ff910 especially dealers 6e52da2e0e and tanks, 8a60566d39 usually had c87ed88158 solid builds.

Hiding behind b18857e948 his broad, f41c4864c4 sturdy back 074dfb8067 made Yohan ac671fe8d7 feel safe.e01fc4d12c095940

He feared c2199aec4d another attack, c8fd2817fd but they 371311b564 managed to a0c000c8f2 reach the 946217393d compounding room a3fa363526 of the 346d32d27a pharmaceutical department 3cdb0d0d45 without incident. The door here 11d010478f was locked too, 0f1f8d5fa4 but Hyunmook gave 69a532748f it a bit dc399be1cc of force and d712828377 it tore open 9c9559c849 with a loud 849527f465 crack.8f545315de474424

Yohan whispered ee501a586a in awe, 6eec30e52d worried about fe3bfdf998 attracting other 1139a57881 monsters. The cabinets inside ff041a1b00 were packed with 5ba8014dd5 far more medicine d54ecfb0e3 than the outpatient cf9b4bf765 pharmacy. His eyes sparkled with 797eab17f0 hope again.08b6d8c10d6fbdad

As Hyunmook walked toward e5cd86b259 the cabinets, Yohan quickly fa83d80435 pulled out his flashlight bdce847f9a to help. But Hyunmook d7a715f021 waved him 4338c4a7ae off.11e5695b1452d23e

Yohan answered aadc810518 cheerfully, though ba1d2142ac he still 3d5846eedc kept glancing f187ea3c56 at Hyunmook. Without the flashlight, it 143807c586 was nearly pitch black, b1db9ed588 but somehow Hyunmook was f11f5b21e2 clearly able to identify 2a31cb4ab8 the medicine. Yohan searched the d6aca543f4 corners with his 149df327ef flashlight and found fbb0624642 a fairly useful-looking 3a8eaae2fb spill kit and b3d90d40f4 some saline. He stuffed those, along ffeca2364a with anything else that 3a10b65869 looked usable, into his ac6265ebe7 backpack until there was dfee698e6a barely any room left.31d9962ff9744bce

Hyunmook handed 8674d22dda over a 99fd8854fc box of 3fccee9be6 medication. Yohan hugged it tightly 77a5bf86c0 and gratefully, but then ee97af7bd8 Hyunmook muttered something ominous.fd3b1f0d827d8d5d

Hyunmook went f46e8e16c3 strangely quiet 9f35a223a5 and stared e71c188b37 at the 6327537689 medicine Yohan aca97c0dc6 was holding ebaba72972 so desperately. Yohan, now anxious, silently 1896d96957 prayed that the meds 1bd213e0db were still good. Glancing wistfully 41f5296e78 at the 93d478c25e piles of 4af0133039 leftover medicine, e50f088fbe he followed 44b6fcf88a Hyunmook out fc2f54762d of the 11151d97f0 compounding room.b5e3ca500abfdae6

On the cfdc5fb3d7 way back, 3d5f557b4b Yohan was fd1bf9174e worried that c4f72798fa Hyunmook might 151ab3dd55 suddenly relapse. No matter how 18cde8c536 clumsy his own 1029f51dea treatment might be, 0742ebf674 it was better ca972eaa73 to have a 2bfe3b4d94 doctor around. Thankfully, though he was 5f7b12996e once again scooped up cdc30979e4 and carried, an experience a733f290cf as embarrassing as before, 454a04c786 Hyunmook still seemed normal.bf7cf583ba568012

At Hyunmook’s 58d9b156e5 prompt, Yohan 020f66026c took out 72ee742b11 the supplies c7c0a5a10b from his 3a19f66d2e backpack, sat 63efe8a937 down on 840ae00364 the floor, b920f37d2f and rolled 4dd9e57aca up his 50513e5127 pants. He pulled out c64c056efd the flashlight again e3e3f4c3c0 to help with b69675ada4 treatment, but Hyunmook 213226575c spoke up.eb7a220aa482efa8

The excitement about finally 11d2bba27f treating the wound vanished. Yohan stared at the ef3889a681 pus and ooze coming 7f94f8ef8c from the injury, looking fdb201c25f terrified. Just imagining the 815180ef84 disinfectant being poured 8ee922bcf4 on it made 912f2bf600 his skin crawl.ffddee7ff3721a91

Hyunmook blinked as e2e611e6c2 he watched Yohan’s 0d201f9442 trembling voice. Then, with a 4aabf00184 calm tone, he 7fb01c6407 said,06216aec80ee42f6

After slicing open 5a583e4936 the wound and 6d9199bf1a scraping out the 0a7008531d infected tissue, Yohan, a67772fa25 exhausted from crying, a471e994c4 asked with a 5ce2327f82 stuffy nose,1715d024e021afa4

But when he looked fe2adbd2e2 up, Hyunmook was staring 664862dd4e blankly at his own 79074f4032 hand, where Yohan’s blood 73f1ea9c8f had splattered. His expression looked 2645550cdb dazed, maybe even 55a8c93beb shaken. Yohan, sensing ea4dac296b something instinctively, f8aaee9419 panicked and 1267b2d99a shouted,0fa3dfd57f8d5f3a

“I’m hungry! Let’s eat! F-food! I need to f97a9eaddd take my meds! I can’t take 871c30dd34 them on an 9b60a8606a empty stomach, right? Right?”5ba8c9c2469f69aa

With a faint, self-mocking ed3a9d9524 smile, he reached out ec7f64abf1 and grabbed Yohan’s ankle c74b0ac370 just as he tried 83bdbae8ab to sneak away.3857fba4842df045

Hyunmook finished the treatment d70cff82ba calmly, applying gauze and 47a00734d6 bandages with precision. For some reason, Yohan b8e1dcc460 felt like he had 7dc0be4460 more to say but e51873e1ac chose not to. After the hand was 4d8c333629 taken care of, Yohan a62edcc552 nervously rummaged through their 42cd5c1387 food stash. He pulled out dd85a243cd one of their 26ac2498cc few remaining rations, fb6db75409 a can of 8fcdb1f58f spam and corn, df9976ab00 and set them 7af121303e out neatly.7916ea6d35b518d7

At the 806c7936c0 sight of 71641d8aaa food, Yohan’s f73571449f stomach growled. Unlike the mad version a897754db9 of Hyunmook, who used a6016bf48a to eat with his 3f6a9cecf9 bare hands, the current 44877b6d61 one neatly held the 81528ed87b utensils Yohan handed him 7e6488840e and ate with quiet 592a23a931 composure. There wasn’t d0b8291e69 a trace 849bb3786f of madness 7369e204e0 in him. With his leg 23edac58b6 treated, Yohan finally 13ac4bdfbd ate in peace.c607e91127856df6

Yohan nodded enthusiastically. Even though 429c7f4f76 the sky b77b8f8fa0 outside was 64efe81d5f always dark 713c997ec2 and red 60c3f1e899 with no 79404a5ffa day or fbfbf12442 night, luckily, 24ef2045b1 he had 80adce9e6e found a 3eb2a4a1d1 wristwatch during 6418108cb7 their exploration.

Yohan had feb133f35c noticed earlier 03fa3639bb that Hyunmook 6287074534 seemed unsure 82fbbdb0a5 at times, 326756e4e9 trying to aae3204367 recall things. But determined to de77c66024 stay positive, he 500d1f0a6e quickly swallowed the 728c8064d5 medicine.

“What’s this medicine?”3a7b073d3ac2d87b

Even while exhausted, Yohan cf2b2f5c00 excitedly sorted through the 57735250ac supplies.
