The smell of the air that seeps into your nostrils is quite different.

While he was soundly asleep, Kim Jeong-hoon noticed his nose twitching, and his eyelids fluttered and began to lift little by little.

Bright light seeping into thinly opened eyes.

As I gradually got used to this, what came into my open eyes was a pure white ceiling.

‘Where am I…’ ?’

The ceiling of my room, which I always wake up to, is quite different from the ceiling of a motel or hotel that I encounter every time I wake up after a night with a woman.

‘Something doesn’t feel right.’

It’s just a white ceiling with nothing special about it, but it feels strangely eerie.

Just as I was about to turn my head to find out where this place was.

Grumbling

Along with the sound of the sliding door opening, a high-pitched, but somehow lifeless voice is heard.

“Kim Jeong-hoon, I will replace the fluid~”

When I turned my head with difficulty, what I saw was a nurse.

An expressionless woman wearing a pure white nurse’s uniform and putting a new infusion solution on the infusion rack.

Only then did Kim Jeong-hoon realize.

That my body is not perfect.

‘I have no strength in my body.’

I feel no strength in my whole body.

It’s hard to even open my mouth, and my voice doesn’t come out properly.

He forced his mouth to open and asked the nurse.

“here is… , uh… d… ?”

The expression on the nurse’s face when she asked that question said this.

Here we go again.

After completely erasing the momentary expression, she answered his question with a smile that did not feel the slightest bit lively.

“This is a motherly love hospital that treats patients with a mother’s love.”

“… … ?”

Mom’s Love Hospital.

A strange fear settles in at the name of a hospital I have never heard of.

Who would name a hospital like that?

‘This nurse is a little strange too.’

Strangely enough, the nurse who was changing the fluid stuck in my arm felt the same way.

Don’t their facial expressions and actions give off a very different feeling from nurses at other hospitals?

‘Something… , something is wrong.’

Something is clearly wrong.

As he began to look around in confusion, the scenery outside the window came into his field of vision.

A lush forest and a winding river, far from the scenery of Seoul, which I love so much.

“OMG… , ah… !”

When he started struggling, the nurse suppressed him by pressing his arm.

“Calm down, patient~”

scary.

The look in the nurse’s rotten eyes is so scary.

The gaze seems to look at the patient like a stone or a weed on the side of the road rather than a living being.

“W-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 disconnected memories were finally connected.

“ah… !”

okay.

Before I woke up here, I was in the training ground I had set up at home.

I swallowed a red pill I bought from a strange man I met at a club.

‘Then Kim Do-jin came in… ?’

fought.

The joy I felt at that time remains strongly in my mind.

The moments when we kept up with his movements and continued the attack, which we could never chase until last week.

‘and then… , and then… ?’

What happened?

I don’t remember.

Did you succeed in giving that guy a shot, or did you lose?

Nothing comes to mind, as if black ink has been painted over the memory.

I’m curious.

‘Did I win? ‘Did I lose?’

I wonder if my sister ended up being tainted by that damn bastard.

While the worries continue to linger.

“Patient, it will hurt a little. “Tingling~”

“ah… !”

A thick needle penetrates my arm.

“You’re done now~”

The nurse who is afraid to even make eye contact finally leaves.

As she walked away from me with inorganic steps, she opened the sliding door and walked out.

He heard shocking words.

“The patient in room 403 here seems to be suffering from temporary delirium due to the aftereffects of the medication, so please make sure he doesn’t leave the room.”

“… … !”

It’s a drug aftereffect.

At that moment, the worst thoughts pass through my head.

Mom’s Love Hospital.

This hospital, even with a strange name… , I guess it’s a mental hospital.

“Oh, no… !”

It was when he, overcome by ominous thoughts, tried to raise his body somehow.

Grumble!

Kim Jeong-hoon’s head turns at the sound of the door opening once again.

Finally, someone came into his sight.

“Oh, is Jeonghoon awake?”

“You bastard… !”

It was none other than Kim Do-jin.

* * *

Mom’s Love Hospital.

It is a psychiatric hospital that has been operating for decades in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.

I strongly suggested that Kim Jeong-hoon be hospitalized here, and after much deliberation, they accepted.

“I can’t accept it.”

At first, they strongly discouraged my son from being hospitalized in this place, located in the remote mountains of Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.

The reason was very realistic.

“Because this is the only place to hospitalize him.”

As I said, he has taken a fatal drug that affects the body of an awakened person.

Any hospital will detect that he has taken drugs through a pre-admission test and immediately report it to the police.

So isn’t this the same here?

no.

What can I say here… , it’s a place where if you give them a lot of money, they can even make you sick and hospitalize you.

When told that they could prevent the incident from being reported to the police, they cried and accepted it as a mustard meal.

It was also quite significant that Eunbi encouraged me to trust me and leave it to me.

In fact, there was a bigger reason for hospitalizing him in this faraway place than the reason he brought up to persuade them.

“I put it in because I wanted to take it out when I wanted… .”

After receiving his test results, I knew it was the best choice.

“… “I never thought the summit would come out.”

The test results from the hospital said everything was normal.

In other words, none of the reactions that normally occur when taking drugs occurred.

Obviously, if what he says is true, he must have taken the red pill… .

“Has an incredible new drug emerged?”

The emergence of new drugs that cannot be revealed through existing drug tests.

Other than that, there is no way to explain these test results.

Buuuuk

Good luck!

The result sheet, which should not be shown to anyone, is torn into pieces and then burned.

“what… , I can’t help it.”

It is very unfortunate that the test results came out normal, but in fact, it does not affect the general trend.

Whether he is normal or not.

You won’t be able to leave this hospital unless you get my permission.

“I guess you’re slowly waking up.”

I get up on a bench on a walking path in the middle of a lush forest and head to the hospital.

As I open the door to the hospital room and enter, I see a guy struggling in his bed.

I guess he noticed something strange and tried to run away.

I smile brightly and wave my hand at the guy who just happens to be looking at me.

“Oh, is Jeonghoon awake?”

“You bastard… !”

“Uh huh, baby. “Aren’t those words too harsh?”

It seems that the situation is not fully understood yet.

“Where did you hospitalize me, you bastard… !”

“Where?”

I grinned and answered the question in a fearful voice.

“It’s a mental hospital called Mother’s Love Hospital in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.”

The guy’s face turns white when he hears the truth that he had only guessed.

“Well, it’s a mental hospital… , why on earth did I… .”

“Why? You took medicine. “It’s also a very strong drug.”

“… … !”

The guy’s eyes widen as if torn apart.

An expression as if asking how you knew that.

Just looking at it, it seems like this bastard doesn’t have any memories of fighting me.

The guy who was shaking his body finally pulled out the best weapon I had.

“Uh, call Mom and Dad. There is no way my mom and dad would have allowed me to be hospitalized in a place like this… !”

But what should I do?

The two trustworthy weapons you trust so much are actually in my hands.

“No, you gave permission.”

“what… ?”

I said it again clearly to the guy who was asking with a vain look on his face, as if he had lost the whole world.

“Your parents also gave permission.”

“Oh, no. That’s right, that can’t be… !”

“Hehe, I don’t believe you.”

Then there is nothing we can do.

I had no choice but to call the boy’s father, Kim Yong-un.

“Father, this is Dojin.”

-ah… , Teacher Dojin. What’s going on?

“Junghoon doesn’t believe me at all. “Father, please speak to me.”

After speaking, I immediately switched to speaker phone and held the smartphone in front of him.

Then the guy urgently raises his voice.

“Ah, Dad! Please take me out. This bastard took me to some 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 about it through Teacher Dojin.

“Oh, Dad… ?”

-I’ll just hang up.

“Oh, Dad… ? dad? dad!”

He tried to shout at the top of his voice, but it was already too late.

“It’s already broken, Jeonghoon.”

“you… , This dog … !”

Oh my, look at this guy.

He still can’t come to his senses and is casting a look full of resentment at me.

“What did you do to my mom and dad?”

“What are you doing?”

“There’s no way my mom and dad would hospitalize me in a place like this unless you did something… !”

“Yes.”

If it was an ordinary illness, I would never have been hospitalized in a place like this.

“You did drugs.”

He pours it out coolly towards the guy who is speechless.

“You know that people who use drugs are immediately reported to the police when they go to the hospital, right?”

“… … .”

“But this is the only place that can stop it. Of course, it costs a lot of money, but that’s because your parents are rich.”

His emotions gradually subside.

It seems like he started to think that his parents had chosen this hospital to treat him for drug use without letting others know, or something like that.

Now I have to wake up from that thought again.

“But that’s for superficial reasons.”

“what… ?”

The guy seemed relieved for a moment, but anxiety bloomed again on his face.

“You can’t leave here without my permission.”

“Well, what is that…” !”

“Didn’t you hear what your father said earlier? “I told you to ask for everything you need through me.”

What could it be?

It means I roasted and boiled your parents to perfection.

“That’s it in summary. A son who was addicted to drugs lost his parents’ trust, and the tutor and daughter’s boyfriend who tried to help him became a trusted son-in-law… , degree?”

“Ah, uh… , OMG… !”

He just opens his mouth like a person with aphasia, but can hardly complete his words.

It must be a big shock.

My family, who I firmly believed would always be on my side, ended up on my enemy’s side.

I approach at a leisurely pace, tap the frozen guy’s cheek, and open my mouth.

“Junghoon, we need to figure out the situation quickly now, right?”

Eyes filled with fading light turn to me.

“I, to me… , what do you want… .”

“well.”

Is there something I should ask you to do?

Except for one thing.

“Tell me that first.”

“Well, what… .”

“The medicine you took.”

The guy’s face turns cold.

“Where and how did you get it? “Recite everything you remember.”
