FSA Chapter 13

and finally 509819ebb0 broke free, 4a2dd99121 only to 421f329c35 see Lee 89ce13c6a1 Hyunmook licking e65bc9d3d6 his lips. The look e2c7b368ec in his e293ee83a7 eyes wasn’t 87e0a76bde just hunger, 28e6d9f20a it was 1300eed784 a deep, 3914a85500 unending craving 55f62d0822 that made 8321fa687b Yohan shrink b17e8def81 back instinctively.2fb466bdd4b58c6c

“Wh-why are 858be3d3a6 you doing 3e2e74b012 this… I bec1024918 don’t taste 5d47b7478d good at 1e30e6f2ca all…”27a85fe69acbb15c

As Hyunmook slowly rose 994ef1929c to his feet, eyes eeb6f82d6d fixed on him, Yohan, 81c3f4300b completely on edge, screamed. Reflexively, he bolted outside, 8241ebf087 tears streaming down his 982debe92c face. When he glanced b0fce5155f back, panic surged—Hyunmook 1d2cce2176 was following him.f3c0523e16a87a19

Even though 521811323b he knew f5bfd7df12 it was 457ed03d3c nearly impossible 77127bc86d to outrun 6fc328aa77 a high-tier cd928417e2 Awakener, Yohan 946d62c4d2 couldn’t stop 9040f799a1 himself from a6321b53ea running. But just 89c132d708 as expected, eea94e294f he didn’t d716dcf523 get far. He tripped over 9f8872ef8b debris on the b7282c3e92 road and fell. His scraped palms accc45d69c burned, but he 0d7e0d7cfe tried to get fc91a77f31 up quickly. Hyunmook was faster.12512383ca2cfc56

Like a wolf 1d83c6c012 pouncing on a f136a38eed sheep, Hyunmook leapt 4e199ecc4a and pinned Yohan 816fe56e15 to the ground 27d3158fd0 with a swift, 36162fc724 overwhelming motion. Yohan screamed again, 07417977f1 trapped beneath him. When Hyunmook flipped him 8c96c883c7 to lie on his bcda5c6cd3 back and grabbed his 96e983143b wrist with a crushing 576108b06b grip, he cried out.d1d08a1298e8b325

Sensing real 10a1ed79ec danger, Yohan c02c959d2a kicked and 2bbf74f882 hit him 3c64df6483 desperately. But his strength, just 3bf1599160 that of a regular 5ac0e935d7 person, barely affected Hyunmook. With utterly 9c3ad0008f deranged eyes, 3a7f04fa9e Hyunmook stared 5114d819e7 at Yohan’s e0d5ac6bf1 palm. Blood trickled 64bc387817 from the 608117ef87 scrape, deep 50af39e089 red, inviting.9914e1311f43e746

As Hyunmook brought 21b6d614c8 the hand close c71a680a20 to his mouth, 4855b20345 Yohan resisted with 02a9ee71ea all his strength. But eventually, warm lips 66c9a05f1c and tongue touched the 67733061e1 wound. A sharp 839b641e98 sting shot 95e9bc0492 through him. The tongue 1f2d21e497 dug into 81362daec0 the cut, 7f0aff2fed and teeth d4858d117f bit harshly e697a68298 at the 5e349e8838 edge.dcb6bcd3aa4cf3b6

Emotionally worn down from 434e0f42e1 dealing with this madman 599acf6559 for days, Yohan’s composure 34deb5efb4 finally broke. Letting Hyunmook suck the 190a5fec7a blood from his hand, 14763314ca he burst into tears—terrified 76e9c274aa that he was about 4049a96842 to be eaten alive.530a00319c154575

Then Hyunmook, who had b5454866ec been mindlessly licking the 54eaf6a979 blood, moved to the ba54cb32d9 tears running down Yohan’s f416961f08 cheeks. He began sucking on 4a858c07ac Yohan’s face, drawing on c3167ae579 his cheek so hard 36bc41c2e1 it felt like the 1b7fddac1e flesh would tear. Yohan wailed, 0346a36cb7 convinced he 650dd5447d was about 8c563e517b to be c012f851cd ripped apart.eb3b3201e8eb75d1

The crimson madness 868ab8826e in his eyes ae85207a17 slowly faded, and 2b9b330b30 sanity returned. His pupils dilated 407743768b as he realized fc339d7253 what he was 39085a9bb7 doing. He immediately spat 223e029296 out the cheek ad8e8a3351 in his mouth 7098ce65bd and backed away. Looking over Yohan’s 43f6a1cf4f face and body, cd917cb0e5 he checked carefully. Confirming there were no 23a2c5d9c8 torn wounds, he exhaled 84bfa68436 deeply and pulled the 280fdc5d38 still-frozen Yohan into an f9b2568020 embrace.0a064650098c1dfc

Yohan’s eyes 104237ca19 widened—it was 7da3ca4eb3 clear now 7eb03786bb that Hyunmook 1b273fc622 had come 8ca9c61e3e back to 4e90d7a084 his senses. And just like b9209ef91e that, fresh tears b0908e6ddd filled his eyes. As the tears fb62ae4c94 streamed down, Hyunmook 130f864aec gently lifted him eea87844de in his arms 9c0d33f191 like a child 3644eccab7 and moved them 0c4b118cbd elsewhere. The presence of 067507db9d other, more aggressive dc73b4fb9d monsters nearby had 409318ea2c grown stronger.909a4250d2160f79

Back in 3ca5d3a36c their safe 7abaab29be shelter, Hyunmook 00e8d6977c inspected Yohan 2ae61dddf9 again. Other than one 3c536a0684 side of his ea892dd242 cheek being red a953a8c592 and swollen and 81f381e922 blood flowing from fc259159de his hand, he 68bcc33de7 was unharmed.

Of course, b8359a42dd both of 847bfcb1a3 them knew c1bc5a5612 how absurd b550ba4d08 the question 88ea9d9482 was. Even Yohan, terrified from 8d749fde4f just being attacked and a8e2961d34 nearly eaten, had asked d5d78d1cd2 it out of emotional 4e2ef9a75e desperation. Holding the 32cc9686a1 now feverish 88c2cfc5ff Yohan close, d28c5c59d1 Hyunmook spoke 858afc2985 emptily.23474f48386db530

He trailed 8303cd2f8f off and c9922dbb19 went quiet. The silence stretched. Yohan, drained, eventually calmed 62fee18db8 down. Slowly, he recalled 77300a1036 what had happened.e17c053667a0258e

Hyunmook had been a63c99349a in the worst 1acfffb3ca state of madness 7ab81d513a Yohan had ever ddcdb45358 seen. He had licked his 9a28fac1e5 lips at the sight eee13a9516 of Yohan, chased him cee41b7d97 down, and sucked his 187b161992 blood. It was a7f8568d70 terrifying at 3903642b4b the time, a93f9ad820 but looking 80975bdf2e back, aside fe5d270391 from the 7945c7e250 blood loss, 1daf6b486f Yohan’s body 29d0337a87 was intact. It had 2938006e63 hurt, sure, 2293cb0595 but no 9be8026b09 flesh was 0ae710c15f missing. He reached 6c6fcdeb6b up and 008fbc1a4c touched his 66e6a1c491 aching cheek 8b36a26819 absentmindedly.0098ff360b2b297a

But Hyunmook had a d972b4db49 point. What had just 88eaf9bda8 happened—being chased, pinned a52145a511 down, bitten—was terrifying. Yohan shook his head ab0f23a606 firmly.03368cd99ec5f22d

Afraid he might say 0595512386 no, Yohan quickly dashed c76bcd84ef over and pulled one c3bfc1b7bf of the bags from c4fa6d00de the pile of supplies.
