Drugs

I don't know how I started to cry.

I just know that as soon as I saw Kim Jihoon

My tears started to flow.

I didn't feel sad.

I didn't feel happy.

They just flowed out by themselves without me understanding myself.

I looked at him who was slowly walking towards me.

He put his hand on my head.

His gentle touch that was stroking my head.

It made me dazed.

I accepted his touch willingly.

Even though I felt surprised.

I never thought that Kim Jihoon would show me this gentle side.

Because in the main story of the novel,

Kim Jihoon even had a nickname, 'Ice Prince'.

Because he always had an indifferent expression, not caring about the world.

Plus, his way of speaking was always too direct and short and abrupt.

Before I knew it, my tears had stopped.

"I have something to talk with you, Kim Jihoon."

"Just the two of us."

The female doctor beside me interrupted and then she walked straight to the exit.

Kim Jihoon nodded before he followed the female doctor out of the room.

"Your friend's condition is very serious."

"Her body is addicted to a dangerous substance and it's hard to adjust."

"I understand."

Kim Jihoon nodded slowly.

He understood that Han Seoyeon's condition was much worse than it looked.

"I'll tell you the truth."

"Just accept that she'll be addicted to this substance for the rest of her life."

She said with a bitter tone.

"..."

Kim Jihoon went silent for a long time.

"Is it really impossible? Doctor Lee Seohyun."

"...It's not like it's impossible, but..."

Doctor Lee Seohyun hesitated for a long time.

"Tell me. I'll do everything to make her normal again."

"Haa... I knew you'd say that."

Lee Seohyun sighed before she led the way to some room.

Inside the room was a room with countless glass bottles of chemicals arranged in an orderly manner.

"First of all, if I had the precursor of the drug your friend took, I might be able to find a cure."

"But it's not easy. Right now, that guy has disappeared with his tail between his legs."

Lee Seohyun cursed with foul language.

Kim Jihoon's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Second of all... there are more than 8 types of drugs your friend took, so I don't need to say much."

Lee Seohyun pointed at the glass tubes arranged in rows.

"Right now, the sample I have is not enough to decipher the formula for the cure."

"Especially this last one."

Lee Seohyun picked up the last glass tube.

The clear pink liquid in the glass tube with only a few drops left might not seem dangerous at all from the outside.

However, the bright pink liquid turned out to be the most dangerous drug.

"I don't even know the main and secondary components of this substance."

"But as far as I know, it makes the user's consciousness float as if being shocked by electricity and turns pain into pleasure. Other than that, I don't know anything."

"So, you want me to go find more?"

"That's right. It's no wonder you're the Top 3 rookie here."

"Right now, there's too little of this substance to research and extract to find a cure, so I'll have to bother you."

Kim Jihoon nodded and looked at the glass tube containing the pink liquid.

The drugs they had were obtained from inside Han Seoyeon's house.

He still remembered clearly when he had put Han Seoyeon to sleep.

When the instructor, who was the instructor who guided his fighting skills and trained him, arrived,

How serious their faces were after he told the instructors about the people he had met.

The man who had brought Han Seoyeon down to this

He was a man of the highest level of danger.

'Mad Doctor' was his nickname.

His cruel and barbaric deeds, without any compassion, amounted to thousands of cases.

Experimenting on live humans, resulting in hundreds of deaths.

Or even creating monsters, modifying them into Chimera.

He was someone who would do anything for his own experiments.

That's what he learned from the instructor.

I was in the empty white room alone for tens of minutes and there was still no sign of those two returning.

I sat there kicking my legs as I thought.

I don't know what happened now because my memories are all distorted.

But if I were in the Sunlight Guild's treatment room, something big must have happened.

I might have to ask Kim Jihoon after he comes back.

I have to find out what happened.

While I was thinking, the door opened again.

Kim Jihoon walked in with the female doctor.

Kim Jihoon's face looked like he was thinking.

So, I can't ask him right now.

I'll do it next time then.

"I've already discussed it with Kim Jihoon. I'll let you leave here immediately."

"But you have to be under Kim Jihoon's care."

The female doctor spoke indifferently and placed the things in front of me.

Both pills and injections.

"And Kim Jihoon You have to tell your friend the truth after you go back."

The female doctor gave Kim Jihoon a fierce look.

That made me a little worried.

It couldn't be that he got scolded because of me, right?

If that was the case, it wouldn't be right.

Because he didn't do anything wrong. It was me who made everything turn out this way.

"Oh... And if you have a headache or feel bad, and have negative thoughts, inject this immediately."

The female doctor handed me another glass bottle.

It was a glass bottle filled with the same blue liquid as the medicine I was taking.

As soon as Kim Jihoon saw the glass bottle of medicine the female doctor handed me,

he quickly turned to the female doctor.

As soon as the female doctor saw his stinging gaze,

she sighed and waved her hand lightly.

"Don't worry... I've already reduced the dosage."

"Patients can't go cold turkey, you know that."

"..."

Kim Jihoon didn't reply to the female doctor, but he grabbed the bottle of medicine I was holding.

I couldn't help but wonder what the female doctor was talking about.

'Go cold turkey'? What does that mean?

The medicine I took was just a normal medicine.

It's not like any kind of drug.

The doctor gave it to me personally.

And didn't he seem trustworthy?

Even though we had sex... It might be against the ethics of a general doctor.

But... It's my fault that I don't have money to buy medicine from him.

So, shouldn't it be normal to use my body to pay for it?

Ah... I miss the doctor...

My lower half feels weird.

I really want to go see the doctor.

Maybe he can help me relieve this weird symptom.

The doctor... He's so good.

"Let's go... Seoyeon."

Kim Jihoon turned to me and called my name.

'Seoyeon'?

How long has it been since I heard him call me that?

Are we back to being close?

I couldn't help but wonder, but I stopped caring about it.

When he reached out his hand to me,

I grabbed his hand and walked out of the treatment room with him.

While walking out, I didn't forget to wave at the female doctor who was taking care of me.

With a 'Thank you' mouth moving.

"By the way... where are you taking me?"

I asked while we were holding hands.

My heart was beating very fast.

We hadn't held hands in a long time.

Plus, the time we held hands and walked like this was when we were young.

I stared at our hands without taking my eyes off.

"To my room."

"...!!"

I was shocked.

My face turned bright red.

"Wh-what?"

"The doctor told me to stay close to you so from now on we'll be in the same room."

"Oh...oh, I get it."

Ah...what was I thinking?

He probably doesn't think that way about me.

Well...we just had a fight.

And right now, I don't even know if we're back together.

Also, Kim Jihoon, who's surrounded by many women and prettier than me,

Why would he choose me?

As soon as I thought that my heart stopped being beating rapidly.

Why would I expect something impossible?

I could only laugh bitterly in my mind.

"We're here."

I stood looking at Kim Jihoon's door.

He opened the door to reveal a neatly arranged room.

"Wow..."

I let out a cry.

Kim Jihoon's room was very spacious.

The furniture in the room looked very nice.

There was a sofa, a table, chairs, a fireplace, and even an air conditioner.

If it were my previous world, it would have been normal.

But for me, who was used to old rooms and abandoned houses,

It was like heaven and earth.

In addition, his room had a separate room.

There was a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom.

Oh my god... I was starting to envy Kim Jihoon's life.

"Do you want to take a shower first?"

He asked me while I was walking around his room.

"Uh... yeah, sure."

I replied before he led me to the bathroom.

Oh my god! Even his bathroom was so big!

Ah... It made me feel depressed.

Why did I have to go through something bad since I came into Han Seoyeon's body?

Why didn't I end up in another character's body?

Otherwise, I wouldn't feel bad.

Otherwise, I wouldn't feel pain.

Otherwise, I wouldn't feel lonely.

Otherwise, I wouldn't get sick.

"Kim Jihoon..."

I turned to face Kim Jihoon.

I started to have negative thoughts.

It made me feel like I had a headache and felt nauseous.

"..."

He didn't answer me.

It made me feel irritated.

"Kim Jihoon, can I have some medicine? The medicine that the doctor gave me."

"..."

He remained silent as usual.

My thoughts started to clash.

It felt bad, like someone was squeezing my brain.

"Jihoon... Please, I want some medicine...."

I walked up to him and shook his arm.

Why didn't he give me medicine?

Why did he ignore me while I was in pain?

Why was he so mean to me?

Does he not think of me as a friend?

"..."

Kim Jihoon was silent as usual, but he still took out the glass bottle containing my medicine obediently.

I quickly grabbed it before running to get the syringe that the female doctor had given me along with the other medicine.

I used it to suck up my medicine and skillfully stabbed it into my arm.

"Fuu..."

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you do this all the time?"

I turned to Kim Jihoon who was now standing behind me.

"...Yes."

I replied shortly.

The effect of the medicine made my brain gradually start to feel better.

At this moment, I started to feel better.

Kim Jihoon sat down next to me.

"Do you... want to say something to me?"
