Starless Eyes

Chapter 29

Pau's POV

"Sample S Batch 19"

Said the labels on the two vials of liquid I'm holding.

S for Sejun

19, I had to experiment with 19 batches of his blood.

Even though I'm still reluctant,

I transferred them to a syringe.

This is not yet tested.

I don't know what will happen.

I don't know the side effects.

I only have a set of paper reports.

It states that this formula might be the most effective among all of my samples.

That it has the highest probability of reversing the effects of vampirism.

But I'm afraid.

When I was figured out,

I was so scared, not for me, but for Sejun.

My superior said he'll make sure Sejun feels endless pain.

That was too cruel of him.

Sejun doesn't deserve that,

I need to do something.

But I have to be careful.

With two syringes of Sample S Batch 19 that I mixed with my own blood.

I entered Sejun's room.

I saw my colleague changing the IV's and checking the life support connected to Sejun.

I stepped closer and looked at Sejun.

I don't think he could still recognize me.

His eyes were looking blankly at the lights above him.

He's not moving.

He'd been like that for two days now.

Seeing him this way, it felt like torture to me.

What's worse is I can't even help him.

I can't even cheer him up.

I can't even be by his side.

I can't even tell him my honest feelings.

If I become reckless and do something that's not calculated.

I might end up losing him sooner.

I placed my hands inside the pockets of my lab gown.

I held the syringes inside, tighter.

I have no choice.

What if this formula kills him?

What if this formula makes him more rabid.

I don't know.

I don't have any options.

If I don't do it now and waited for several days or even hours,

He might be gone by then.

Tears started to form on my tear ducts.

"You're too motivated to keep him alive."

Said my colleague who's now checking the tubes and life support connected to Sejun.

These people, they're the real monsters.

They were the people responsible for Sejun's tortures.
