Chapter 291 – Tempering (7)
The smell of the air that seeps into my nostrils is quite different.
While sleeping soundly, Kim Jeong-hun’s nose twitched and he realized it. His eyelids trembled and began to lift little by little.
A bright light seeping through thinly opened eyes.
Little by little I got used to it, and what came into my open eyes was the pure white ceiling.
‘Where are you… ?’
The ceiling of my room, where I always wake up, is quite different from the ceiling of a motel or hotel that I face every time I wake up after a night with a woman.
‘I feel bad about something.’
It’s just a pure white ceiling with nothing special about it, but something feels strangely unpleasant.
The moment I tried to turn my head to find out where the hell this place was.
Drooling
Along with the sound of the sliding door opening, a high-pitched, yet weak voice is heard.
“Kim Jeong-hoon, I’ll replace the sap~”
As I struggled to turn my head, it was a nurse.
An expressionless woman wearing a white nurse’s uniform and putting new fluids on the infusion rack.
Only then did Kim Jung-hoon realize.
That my body is not perfect.
‘I have no strength in my body.’
There is no strength in the whole body.
It’s hard to even open my mouth, and even my voice doesn’t come out properly.
He forced his mouth open and asked the nurse.
“Here is… , Uh… D… ?”
The expression on the face of the nurse who received the question said:
It’s starting again.
After erasing the expression made in an instant, she answered his question with a smile that didn’t feel the slightest bit alive.
“This is a mother’s love hospital that treats patients with mother’s love~”
“… ?”
Mom’s Love Hospital.
A strange fear settles in the name of a hospital that I have never heard of.
Who would name a hospital that way?
‘This nurse is a bit strange too.’
Strangely, the same was true of the nurse who was grinding the sap in my arm.
Doesn’t the facial expression and behavior create a feeling that is quite different from that of nurses in other hospitals?
‘Something… , Something’s wrong.’
Something must be wrong.
The scenery outside the window comes into his field of vision as he begins to look around in bewilderment.
A lush forest and a meandering river, far from the scenery of Seoul that I love.
“OMG… , Ah… !”
Startled, he struggled, and the nurse pressed his arm hard to subdue him.
“Calm down, patient.”
Scary.
The nurse’s eyes, like rotten dynamic eyes, are so frightening.
As if looking at the patient like a stone or a weed that fell on the side of the road, not a living being.
“Hey, here… , Uh, where… ! Seoul… , No?”
“This is Gangwon-do, patient.”
“… Why why… , I… , Why… !”
I don’t understand.
Why was he admitted to a strange hospital in Gangwon-do?
Then the memories that had been cut off finally continued.
“Ah… !”
Okay.
Before waking up here, he was at the training ground prepared at home.
Swallowing a red pill I bought from a strange guy I met at the club.
‘Then Kim Do-jin came in… ?’
Fought
The joy I felt at that time remains strong in my mind.
The moments when I continued to attack while catching up with his movements that I had never been able to follow until last week.
‘And then… , And then… ?’
How did it go
I don’t remember.
Did he succeed in giving him a shot, or did he lose himself.
Nothing comes to mind, as if the memories were painted over with black ink.
I’m curious.
‘Did I win? Did I lose?’
Maybe my sister was eventually tainted by that damn bastard, maybe.
While troubles bite their tails.
“Patient, you will feel a little sick. It stings~”
“Ah… !”
A thick needle pierces his arm.
“You are done now~”
The nurse, who is afraid to even make eye contact, finally leaves.
By the time she opened her sliding door and walked away from me with her inorganic steps.
He heard shocking words.
“Here, the patient in room 403 seems to have temporary delirium due to drug aftereffects, so please keep him from leaving the ward.”
“… !”
What about drug sequelae?
Suddenly, the worst thoughts run through my head.
Mom’s Love Hospital.
Even the name of this strange hospital… , Maybe it’s a mental hospital.
“Oh, no… !”
It was when he, who was desperate for an ominous thought, tried to raise his body somehow by force.
Drooling!
The sound of the door opening once again turns Kim Jung-hoon’s head around.
The one who came into his sight before long.
“Oh, is Jeong-hoon awake?”
“You bastard… !”
It was none other than Kim Do-jin.
* * *
Mom’s Love Hospital.
It is a specialized psychiatric hospital that has been operating for decades in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.
I strongly suggested that Kim Jung-hoon be hospitalized here, and they accepted it after much thought.
“I cannot accept it.”
At first, they vehemently discouraged my son from being hospitalized here, which is located in a remote mountain in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.
The reason was very real.
“Because this is the only place to hospitalize him.”
As I said, the guy is on a deadly drug that affects the Awoken’s body.
In any hospital, a pre-hospital examination will detect that he has taken drugs, and a police report will be made immediately.
So, isn’t it the same here?
No.
What is it like here… , It’s a place where if you give a little money, you can make a bottle that didn’t exist and put you in the hospital.
When told that they could prevent being reported to the police, they wept and accepted to eat mustard.
It was also quite a big deal that Eunbi put in Choo Im-sae to trust me and leave it to me.
In fact, there was a bigger reason than the reason he brought him out to convince them.
“I put it in because I wanted to remove it when I wanted it…”
After receiving his test results, I knew it was the best choice.
“… I hope it will come to the top.”
The test results for the guy at the hospital say everything is normal.
In other words, none of the reactions that usually occur when taking drugs did not appear.
Obviously, if what he said is true, he must have taken the red pill…
“Has a tremendous new drug appeared?”
The appearance of new drugs that are not revealed by conventional drug tests.
There is no other way to explain these test results.
Woowook Boo
Hwareuk!
After shredding the result sheet, which should not be shown to anyone, burn it.
“What… , I can’t help it.”
It’s a pity that the test results came out normal, but in fact, it doesn’t interfere with the general trend.
Whether he’s normal or not.
You won’t be able to get out of this hospital without my permission.
“Would you like to wake up soon?”
I get up on a bench on a promenade in the middle of a thick forest and head to the hospital.
When I open the door of the hospital room and enter, I see a guy struggling on the bed.
It must have noticed something strange and tried to run away.
Just in time, I smile brightly at the guy who shifts his gaze to me and waves his hand.
“Oh, is Jeong-hoon awake?”
“You bastard… !”
“Oh hey, kid. Aren’t the words too harsh?”
It seems that the situation has not yet been fully grasped.
“Me, where did you put me in the hospital, you bastard… !”
“Where?”
With a terrified voice, he answered with a grin at the questioner.
“It’s a mental hospital called Mother’s Love Hospital in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.”
Hearing the fact that he was only guessing, his face turned white.
“Um, a mental hospital… , Why am I…”
“Why? You took the medicine It is also a very strong drug.”
“… !”
His eyes widen as if they would tear.
A look like how did you know that.
Just looking at it, this bastard, it seems that the memories of fighting me are not perfect.
The guy who was shaking his body finally took out the best weapon I had.
“Uh, Mom, call Dad. There’s no way my mom and dad would have allowed me to be hospitalized in a place like this… !”
But what about
The two dependable weapons you trust so much are in my hands.
“No, you allowed it.”
“What… ?”
As if he had lost the whole world, he spoke clearly again to the guy who asked back with a futile expression.
“Your parents also allowed it.”
“Oh, no. It can be, it can’t be… !”
“Heh heh, you don’t believe me.”
Then there is nothing you can do
I had no choice but to call the boy’s father, Kim Yong-un.
“Father, I am Dojin.”
-Ah… , Mr. Dojin. What’s going on?
“Jung Hoon doesn’t believe me at all. Father, please tell me something.”
After she finished talking, she immediately switched to the speaker phone and pushed her smartphone in front of him.
Then, the guy who raised his voice urgently.
“Oh, Dad! Please get me out This bastard took me to a strange hospital… !”
-Jung Hoon.
“Yes, yes…”
-Listen to Mr. Dojin carefully, and stay there for the time being. If you need anything, tell your father through Mr. Dojin.
“Oh, Dad… ?”
– Just hang up.
“Oh, Dad… ? Dad? Dad!”
The guy screams his throat out, but it’s too late.
“It’s already cut off, Jung Hoon.”
“You… , This bastard… !”
Hey, look at this guy.
You still can’t come to your senses and cast resentful glances at me.
“What did you do to my mom and dad?”
“What are you doing?”
“Unless you do something, my mom and dad can’t put me in a hospital like this… !”
“Yes.”
If it was a normal illness, I would never have been hospitalized in a place like this.
“You did drugs.”
It pours coolly toward the speechless guy.
“You know that drug addicts are reported to the police right away when they go to the hospital, right?”
“…”
“But this is the only place to stop it. Of course, it costs a lot of money, but that’s because your parents are rich.”
His emotions gradually subside.
It seems that he started to think that his parents chose this hospital and put him in to treat himself without telling others that he had taken drugs.
Now I have to break that thought again.
“But that’s for superficial reasons.”
“What… ?”
Anxiety flared up on the boy’s face, which seemed relieved for a moment.
“You can’t get out of here without my permission, you.”
“Uh, what is that… !”
“Didn’t you hear what your father said earlier? I told you to ask for everything you need through me.”
What would that be
It means I cooked your parents perfectly.
“To sum it up, that’s it. Naemi, the son of a drug addict, lost the trust of her parents, and the tutor and boyfriend of her daughter who tried to help her became a trustworthy son-in-law… , Degree?”
“Ah, uh… , OMG… !”
Like a person suffering from aphasia, he only opens his mouth, but can hardly complete his speech.
The shock will be great.
All of my family, who I firmly believed would always be on my side, became on the enemy’s side.
I approach with a leisurely step and pat the frozen guy on the cheek and open his mouth.
“Jung Hoon-ah, should we quickly grasp the situation?”
Eyes with faded light turn to me.
“Me, me… , What do you want…”
“Well.”
Is there anything I should do for you?
Except for one thing.
“Tell me about that first.”
“What, what…”
“The medicine you took.”
The guy’s face goes cold.
“Where and how did you get it? Recite everything you can remember.”
