He didn’t understand f196f4bad8 what was being 642c6fbbcb said. He was sure 00284e4f2a that… As he 79f33748c1 blankly tried to 102d8adcc1 recall, Seungwan suddenly f6c5aa17ca jolted upright as b1fcd8b9d9 if having a 9f603772bc seizure. The man, as 97000553da if anticipating the 72c7c26ac1 abrupt movement, pressed 8cd5aa2b90 lightly against Seungwan’s 95116fe9b7 chest using only be6f7ff857 three fingers, excluding f306d1c611 the thumb and 682e2a19dd index finger that fd132bbd11 held the water eede0b4564 bottle. It seemed like he b53a599392 was preventing the seatbelt 89747de800 from tightening too suddenly 85ea975efe and crushing Seungwan’s chest.6faa99dbc8fc11ed

That gentle 0b21a8d38d restraint helped 6b19cf2dc6 Seungwan barely e1f984a3c2 attempt to 2232cd358f calm himself. But it wasn’t 841d824fa7 easy. No matter how he 494fd23781 looked at it, the 5abafeeabb sunlight streaming in through e667a8326f the windows clearly indicated fd91648a03 morning.86a38cde26a33c53

When he had entered the agricultural cooperative building, it had been past 5:30 PM. The days were getting longer, so dusk had been slow to fall, and at that time, the sun had just begun casting a soft crimson glow. It hadn’t been like the current scenery outside, where the clear morning light shone so brightly that people’s shadows were barely visible. How did this even happen? Seungwan couldn’t believe he had been unconscious for at least 16 hours.f246cd47c50ae2f5

At the ad86317211 man’s playful 7402f4ec2b mumbling, Seungwan 5cdf493130 involuntarily choked. His shoulders jerked ac353d26d9 as he coughed, 0a741d74a5 and the man 9d094e3f35 laughed, patting his d399ac0fdb thin back a ad8584d9f7 few times.23cce3a28120c50a

Surprised, Seungwan asked back. The man, 0e4c378beb who had d02aa3eb45 been watching c797692681 the road, 53ebd6226e glanced at 85619df271 him. Just then, 8ca4d845d5 the truck 7d4b104001 smoothly rolled ccd87f403d to a 50ac97891b stop at d84c35b4a2 a red c4e6393096 light.

He claimed he was f7a032c4a9 getting old, but with 5f45f9892b that bright smile on 5cee524572 his face, he looked cff0140354 anything but. His expression 2a306de717 was as 43290ba42e full of a01c56e4db life as c640d3796f a vibrant e1688dede6 summer day.

It was a 9a6daf2b93 strange thing to 058044feaf say. In Seungwan’s life, 46ec04098b working hard was 4dd72989de the only way 628654d2a6 to barely chip 80fde419ce away at his 1009a6da3a debt.

In the 119ea9021c meantime, the ffcc2f7170 truck started 19479f4672 moving again 727dbe22fa and turned ba0f50961f left at b715bb16b3 the intersection. Barely 300 meters 6ff7b71eeb after the turn, a51c28b3e9 it gradually slowed 1b7e467bcb down and entered af59a9f4ab the underground parking 77e096869a lot of a 8a792ec54d building. Only then did Seungwan c243991f85 realize the entire building 3352ae64cb was the Omega clinic. Since Mokpo was quite 604f626a8b a distance from Unsan, aef93cdfc3 it seemed unlikely that e8aa3c616a anyone from Unsan would cb2f537bda bother coming all the 4be6bfba23 way here for treatment.4d61d1a41359d89c

Once the truck came 9e6a92c6c4 to a full stop, 52a0853c6e the man unbuckled Seungwan’s b13290b3da seatbelt for him, raised e9eb7daef4 an eyebrow, and asked, ce7eee4a8b “Are you getting out?”4f9b1950147b55e1

At those words, Seungwan 920790c5a2 flinched as if he a72141e348 had just heard the d629928ac6 starting signal of a 0361b39a12 marathon. He quickly unfastened 01a9daac2a the belt and 7f660d713a opened the door 4323506590 to step out. He thought he had f914acb924 moved fast, but by b8ba7b14cc the time he turned cca350e0be around, the man had a91bc6739d already gotten out and e7a2cd9199 was walking toward the 884a5a5ed0 elevator. Seungwan hurried after 05c303fae0 him. The man seemed familiar 546827ecfe with the hospital building.489390610f5e7788

…Have you been 755fde8063 here before?The question nearly e8d193ee4b slipped out, but 37dd199ab5 Seungwan held it 00bc1baf4d back. When the man cf9cf57e76 stepped into the 911d37bcfa elevator, Seungwan followed. There were quite a 7998904d6c few Omegas inside, having a208f901b1 come up from the aca2fba27b second basement floor. They quietly 90b0c7a059 moved aside ac69f39a9b while stealing 665b08b9e8 glances at 7bd8e49cf7 the man. But he, 5e768cb996 seemingly uninterested 18b2375717 in any cd151f6cb1 of them, 0d41b744d2 made space db28bf7f0c for Seungwan 5e334bf597 to stand 36ea52c370 and pressed c456c1de4d the button ed52790ec5 for the da07b158a3 second floor, 079adb27d7 where the 7cb3bbb60d reception desk a976113e1a was.88a11fff923529ec

Seungwan stood there blankly, 2f85eae967 sneaking glances at him c7fd12c89b in amazement. How did he 126e52377b know his condition cfcbaac86c so well? Seungwan had groaned 3bdc3e0e6c about being sick, 530da9b1d5 but he had bf95ada6be never explained exactly 6ae65d5e1c what hurt, how 6fc0bfffd1 it felt when a464bdc2ea he had a 3d515a77b7 fever, or anything c69d2bb96b of the sort.
