After he dressed up all my wounds and put some ointment on me, I remembered what Ji wan told me.
So I got up and went to Taeyong's room.
"Hey, I'm leaving. I suggest you leave too. We don't know if they will come back here."
"Okay. Take care."
He packs his stuff up. I knew I had to say something to him other than that.
"Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it."
"Don't mind it."
He smirks.
"Take care too. We don't know if I can returm again."
"You will."
He smiled at me.
He sounded so sure. As if he knew how things will pan out in the future.
I called Ji wan. He picked me up deciding that it was too risky for me to be found wandering.
I tell him all that happened. He says that he will help me.
We went to his vacation house again. There he had all his science stuff. I felt like I was going to be some lab rat. Not that I was not one while I was still back at the training facility.
I had to give him my blood sample. And my spinal fluid too.
It felt okay, I mean my pain tolerance is sky rocketing high.
He makes me rest up as he puts my samples into tests and more.
I was lying at the bed. Yet I was worried. I couldn't shut my eyes knowing that Lily is in danger. I could envision her crying for help, if not dead.
Doctor Jung calls me a few moments later. I jump out of bed. I was so blissed to finally get a call.
"Is this your kid here?"
"Yeah. Please take care of her."
I said in a begging tone. I mean what else can I do.
"I will."
"Doctor, how can I get stronger? I need to be stronger."
"Do you still have the vitamins?"
"No not anymore. I need to be stronger. Fast."
He tells me about this d**g in the market. It is like what we take in the facility, but more stronger.
One dose a day can be too much. It also has side effects.
"I don't care anymore. If I need to be a monster, I will."
The call ended and I went to Ji wan downstairs.
He was comparing my result chart to a normal person's. Mine was way too abnormal. It was almost uncomprehendable.
I ask him where I can buy this pill.
"Q? I have never heard of that pill. What is it? How did you hear of it?"
"No time to explain. I need it. Now."
He opens up a website. It was a database for all the drugs in the market. Legal and illegal.
He found it and soon I was meeting someone to buy it.
A young boy who probably didn't know what he was doing sold me the d**g. I followed him and found a d**g den. They all were high yet I proved stronger. I stole all the Q pills and went out.
I had so much.
One pill a day was enough, Doctor Jung said, but I can do 3 pills a day since I'm no normal human.
I took one as soon as I arrived. Surely in just a few minutes, I felt a lot more energetic and stronger.
I feel guilty to rely on pills but what else can I do.
A day passes and I was feeling more stronger. But this was not enough. Day by day I got stronger as I stayed with Ji-wan.
I controlled my feelings towards him. I knew I had no time for that.
Dr Jung calls me for any updates, he tells me that Lily was fine. And that I should train more to defeat the guards here.
He tells me that I could go here when they will take a new batch of children so that there will be lesser guards.
I trained day and night. I had no time to slack off nor let laziness get in my way. I had to move or else they will.
The country has moved on to other news. And everything has quieted down a bit with the government.
Ji wan has also been benefiting from me. Now that I think of it I have given more than I took. It feels unfair.
Time came that I should go.
"Do you have any idea how I can go there?"
"Don't worry I have that settled out."
"What? How?"
Guards then began to pour in.
He remained calm almost like he was one of them, yet I can sense the fear and doubt in his eyes.
I fought. But I thought this was gonna benifit me. So I just let them capture me.
"Why?"
I ask him, acting weak.
"I'd rather let you die than myself."
He said. Somehow it sounded genuine. Yet I doubted that.
I thought he was just playing along with it.
They shot me with a tranquilizer yet it didn't have an effect. But I had to fake being passed out.
We rode a vehicle. And went to a boat.
I listened to their conversation. I just had realized that Ji wan was with us.
"Why only turn her in now?"
"I had to get what I needed from her first. I had to know how her body works."
"Why don't you just work with the scientists here, they have more knowledge for you to learn."
He laughs and agreed.
Is he really betraying me? Or is he just playing along?
We arrived at the facility. The feeling was eerie. I tried my best not to budge.
I didn't want to go back to this wretched place. But I need to.
The second time I entered the facility, I am a bit more willing. Unlike the first time, where I nearly fainted because of stress.
I got tied up and transported again. We went place to place, until I got laid down at a room. It was also extremely locked.
