Part 2: chapter 36

Busan, South Korea

Taehyun pulled up to the hospital. It was ironic that he went back there without the police badge. Now he was no longer detective who had power in his hands, he was just a poor person who was getting closer to death every day.

His face was even paler than before since he hadn't used perfume this time. He had dark bags under his eyes. His cherry hair was messy and his lips were colourless and chapped. Taehyun could say that he looked horrible, exactly like a walking dead, but it wasn't like he cared about that.

He headed towards the entrance, preparing himself to put on an act. He went to the reception as soon as he got inside. He didn't even bother to wait in the queue, he pushed everyone aside rudely and stood face-to-face with the receptionist who gave him an annoyed look.

"Please, wait for your turn, sir", she said, but Taehyun couldn't care less, nor about the people behind him saying to each other how rude he was.

"Where is Sungjin?", he asked immediately, pretending to be anxious, "I want to see him"

"Mr Kim isn't here right now. Please, free the space, sir. People are waiting behind you"

"No, you don't understand", Taehyun argued in a desperate voice, "Call him. I have something to ask him"

"Leave, sir, or I'll call the guards"

Taehyun looked at her with a defeated face, nodding his head faintly before turning around to walk away. He took a look at some annoyed people in the queue who were still gossiping about him. Taehyun took a stumbling step forward but then pretended to faint, travelling straight to the floor, but the man near him was fast to catch him before he could hit the ground.

"Call the doctor!", he yelled as he slowly bent to the floor with an "unconscious" male in his arms, trying to wake him up.

People started making a fuss around them and the receptionist who was previously arguing with Taehyun, ran off to call the doctor. Soon a few people with doctor's smocks appeared in the reception with a stretcher and laid Taehyun on it, taking him to the emergency room. On the other side, the receptionist girl rushed to the cabinet of the director, knocking on the door before pushing it open.

"Are you free, sir?"

"Yes", the doctor said, motioning her to go inside as he put down his cup of black tea, "What's wrong?"

"There was one boy in the reception. He was saying that he needed to meet Mr Kim and then he fainted"

The director got curious at that, a frown plastering on his face, "Do you know who he is?"

"No"

"Okay", the director said, "You can go. I'll take care of that"

After the doctors were done examining Taehyun, the director arrived at them in Taehyun's ward. The boy was no longer having to pretend that he was unconscious since the doctors injected something into him which immediately made him feel drowsy and he soon fell asleep. He was now laying peacefully on the hospital bed, his breath steady as doctors around kept talking and noting something in their pads, but then their attention got grabbed by the director when he walked up to them.

"What's wrong with him?", he asked, looking curiously at the sleeping boy.

"We don't know, sir", one of them answered, "He looked really sick, so we had to check his blood. The results aren't ready yet, but his blood had unusual colour. It was - like very dark"

The director nodded, registering their words, "Who is he?"

"His ID says that his name is Kang Taehyun. We don't know anything else"
