FSA Chapter 13

and finally 53d98a160a broke free, 5ca6c2a347 only to c0c5a61911 see Lee 2b64c750c7 Hyunmook licking 0474bf0106 his lips. The look in 9877889924 his eyes wasn’t dc3f612c7f just hunger, it de8873e532 was a deep, a1c57ce141 unending craving that 7aa30b28e1 made Yohan shrink 34dfdc18ca back instinctively.2c0eb01331822a16

“Wh-why are 91e08f7ae9 you doing 5da010e5f2 this… I d3533a0edc don’t taste 27bcf75e4a good at 81c8ff0858 all…”17acfce826caf99f

As Hyunmook slowly dc662ac34e rose to his 17c3f33b19 feet, eyes fixed 12e13f5e49 on him, Yohan, ea3b3e961b completely on edge, 2e90460fec screamed. Reflexively, he bolted outside, 3d37f20681 tears streaming down his d206071fb8 face. When he glanced 1c7e79cfc7 back, panic surged—Hyunmook 00ff147447 was following him.2ca736d9433d80f0

Even though he 66f30c72c3 knew it was 8f891528ce nearly impossible to 493bfa94e0 outrun a high-tier 414b7dc3d3 Awakener, Yohan couldn’t ead8153ade stop himself from d0e40cf747 running. But just as expected, a145745fd2 he didn’t get far. He tripped a648ed3756 over debris 47f8203129 on the ac13a791dc road and 2fee583533 fell. His scraped d294d141a3 palms burned, f81fa0af78 but he 9578df33de tried to 67e67012c0 get up 9f85069ab8 quickly. Hyunmook was faster.71c72341f9ab3fc8

Like a wolf pouncing 50c1990171 on a sheep, Hyunmook 84b7e349f2 leapt and pinned Yohan 5452f3ace6 to the ground with eeaf933a9c a swift, overwhelming motion. Yohan screamed again, trapped b5a474ff68 beneath him. When Hyunmook flipped him 6054a49322 to lie on his f30b76567b back and grabbed his 74edf63b0c wrist with a crushing 5818b70564 grip, he cried out.e3712900279ff49e

Sensing real fc71601b0c danger, Yohan 115b88998a kicked and f3d077b17b hit him 04a4fc46f9 desperately. But his 1e45a31fee strength, just 384fc60eee that of cc2e947bc6 a regular 551773d5c2 person, barely f58df4219b affected Hyunmook. With utterly deranged fd38a13b25 eyes, Hyunmook stared 55dea1b68f at Yohan’s palm. Blood trickled from the 12847d9ff7 scrape, deep red, inviting.f4a16661612023be

As Hyunmook brought c78416d298 the hand close a23b5e5518 to his mouth, 30a451f73c Yohan resisted with ab56e2a32a all his strength. But eventually, warm 2f2c2858c8 lips and tongue 6a5e84718b touched the wound. A sharp c038138052 sting shot 1e03c3d20d through him. The tongue dug 25bec25e6b into the cut, 6317766bf6 and teeth bit 583619d7b5 harshly at the 0b54454fe7 edge.7eb6181f30cec043

Emotionally worn be77b59c54 down from 804dec7bcb dealing with 5e16a0638d this madman ed8624b21f for days, 0fdc3bc378 Yohan’s composure 0ffd87eed4 finally broke. Letting Hyunmook suck the 56533bb6ff blood from his hand, 441743c7bc he burst into tears—terrified 29c8fa702e that he was about da688c28a9 to be eaten alive.a6f231c5ebbf683d

Then Hyunmook, 297ef67f04 who had ac7814b606 been mindlessly 670ccb01fa licking the a5d0d24887 blood, moved a41a4bdd35 to the 61de1b6757 tears running 94c2b0fede down Yohan’s f3b8dc1b4d cheeks. He began sucking 15d9647520 on Yohan’s face, 907b052936 drawing on his 34b40a9d0e cheek so hard b2ec19a576 it felt like ced24652a2 the flesh would 28d120ca4d tear. Yohan wailed, d28b69b873 convinced he d8f6b3e3f8 was about 69f2070b5b to be 934c8c4431 ripped apart.b6bc99775268b509

The crimson 372ff70014 madness in 3dd34099b0 his eyes 1a93058fb5 slowly faded, c4b2d6da69 and sanity 9dc8364103 returned. His pupils dilated 3883ad561e as he realized 3c11dad39d what he was 95f57fe660 doing. He immediately spat out 6d5d92d31c the cheek in his bd5b0efa01 mouth and backed away. Looking over 19b7a6a807 Yohan’s face fcd482fd77 and body, 5f04ca4f59 he checked 4d36ab53a8 carefully. Confirming there 5b977b63f9 were no d209d4a13e torn wounds, d09ca9bb51 he exhaled dfee475225 deeply and 114bb02def pulled the 3022ad8810 still-frozen Yohan 80d41091e8 into an e7f11094cf embrace.0771bfb36f538d51

Yohan’s eyes widened—it f931eaed7b was clear now dced50ff4a that Hyunmook had c32b2f23dd come back to 1ab0b42955 his senses. And just like that, 17f7dd9336 fresh tears filled his ca70edc133 eyes. As the 969ca491b4 tears streamed eb9609c173 down, Hyunmook 6b26a3063d gently lifted fc84f0f2e5 him in a9f5c1353a his arms b5a2ecbb68 like a 337d925096 child and 3d1d5392c9 moved them ed259de17a elsewhere. The presence of other, b38d6bf3ab more aggressive monsters nearby 4374590df0 had grown stronger.5a7d4efa63f15e8a

Back in their 66db9d4121 safe shelter, Hyunmook 1a5f290921 inspected Yohan again. Other than one side 1b6d74cf3e of his cheek being e096a68847 red and swollen and ffb678d67c blood flowing from his cb0c5ad818 hand, he was unharmed. After disinfecting and wrapping e425bf60e4 the wounds, Yohan, still 9105d11f0c crying, asked,e14614ce551dc75c

Of course, both of c4dcf5fd12 them knew how absurd aae8a4ffd8 the question was. Even Yohan, terrified 99c312f6e9 from just being c1321379e0 attacked and nearly 59da78bb70 eaten, had asked d283ae82ec it out of 6ff4c5c363 emotional desperation.

Hyunmook had been 08de3d1b8b in the worst 17f65bfd67 state of madness f8c59ef63d Yohan had ever 7a359e3cb6 seen. He had ae5d785d25 licked his 62848b0b53 lips at e6da0df85b the sight 7d33e726d2 of Yohan, 2860b9777b chased him 08f2da570b down, and 0f5b8524be sucked his 7812eb1980 blood. It was 822e575abd terrifying at 42406c3dfc the time, b679bd8c67 but looking 31d9bf9e1a back, aside 09f7673c07 from the 2df7e02b03 blood loss, d72d73eaa7 Yohan’s body c541630d04 was intact. It had hurt, sure, c8d4445dae but no flesh was 26d6122d44 missing. He reached up and 0be7a2296c touched his aching cheek c34b3db8a7 absentmindedly.eaacca32df7caa27

Misunderstanding the moment, 38f244e120 Hyunmook harshly scrubbed 4440071bfc Yohan’s cheek with 87930f2288 his sleeve, trying b7974077a3 to clean his 088f8c4447 spit. The extra rubbing made e028d2a3c0 the swelling worse, and 3cd544c031 Yohan stared up at e8c78b2d4b him blankly before quietly cdefa613cb speaking.99da1379bcbacf5b

Yohan bowed his head, 6171402d7a defeated. Giving a little d59c5b0cfe of his blood 465a642b97 to bring Hyunmook f6837efcc7 back hadn’t seemed 43f56bb4c1 like such a 66cf12d8b6 bad trade. But Hyunmook had dc3eea934e a point. What had f5f08e515f just happened—being c020755a31 chased, pinned 4e41e3cc25 down, bitten—was 0ecaa1bc1a terrifying. Yohan shook his head 03c9c9bc19 firmly.3579f4ac81313374

Startled, Yohan 1683c012e5 jumped up 59943d8b9c too. He looked around 4b5f1dcaf5 at their nest—the 39cb08dab8 mattress bed, the 3e9a66e5e0 pile of emergency 878dc81942 rations, the neatly 8ef243eee1 sorted clothes—and his 1737e917b7 heart wavered.

Hyunmook, standing near e7639eb0da the door and 4e96c29134 peeking outside, wore c07b27bba9 a grim expression. He turned his head 6631592c56 to look at Yohan.d502d0f2e4c7055a

The ominous e84f950307 tone in 1a24327b8c his voice 4030ba85c2 made Yohan 34f16b0680 nervous. He was a9e4422232 afraid the 85765afe48 situation was d8a543ab04 about to 91796e78a6 get worse, 164359b0e3 and that 559b3553de fear became 7d52b95703 reality.ac73027ca63049cc

Still tense, Yohan ba212d7a46 unconsciously let out 66ba814802 a sigh of 0cc1a7d4bb relief. He quickly pulled himself dbb46df6f9 together.

Afraid he might say 8ce28594a6 no, Yohan quickly dashed d5f867e984 over and pulled one adff15b566 of the bags from 2756998abf the pile of supplies. It was 6ee2af7b4a a large, 5285a4bf1d sturdy hiking c5f6783c1f backpack. Lee Hyunmook seemed 4af2d37876 to hesitate for 1b4ab35e81 a moment, then 19aefd823d nodded. He stuffed 482dd2b7d5 the heavy e213ef530b canned goods 00f1e858d4 into the b598b7fe3e bag and 5cb98a2977 helped Yohan 259190ace4 put on 3ed5c42557 his padded 3594a35cb8 jacket. Just like that, they a80cfadbcc had two backpacks packed 9086f386d2 to the brim. Even though they had c3dbda17a7 gathered as much as 743e5fe96c they could, leaving behind 8cba9f0f5f so many supplies still 9066293a7c felt like such a 8f6b8e2810 waste that Yohan stomped 6474ddfec4 his feet in frustration.a542abfb6c61a9f0
