Stuck in "Wonderland" - Tower of God Oc fanfic

Never trust doctors

Khun's pov

Khun hurried down the wide corridor, finally stopping in front of the door leading to the interrogation room. A slight frown marred the smoothness of his brow.

For some inexplicable reason, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. 

I shouldn't have left her alone in there...

Yes, Khun was finally starting to realize that it hadn't been such a great idea to leave a clearly unwell person on their own, and what's more, tied to a chair and still recovering from drug after-effects.

Khun grimaced. Yep, not his proudest moment.

But then again, it'd been an urgent meeting - Apple had discovered a potential lead - and he'd only left her alone for a short time...Surely she couldn't have kicked the bucket in the meantime!

If she survived being eaten by a bull, she'll survive a simple sleeping drug.

...Except it hadn't been a 'simple' sleeping drug.

No, if Khun were to be completely honest, he was just trying to rationalize his prior actions...or lack thereof.

But the thing is, Khun simply couldn't imagine Sunna dying so easily.

That's because, in some ways, Sunna reminded him of a too-clever fox.

...or a cockroach. 

Khun snorted at the thought, then proceeded to get smacked in the face by the door swinging open.

*Smack*

Khun cursed out loud, clutching his nose with one hand.

...Why the fuck does it swing outwards?! Khun thought, somewhat angrily, his mood worsening once again.

"...Oh, good, you're already here. Saves me the trouble of looking for you," Ran said in a deadpan voice before throwing a backward glance over his shoulder "If you need to ask her something, you'll have to do it now...I don't think she has much time left."

...What?

"...What did you say?" Khun all but choked out, a feeling of dread settling in the pit of his stomach.

"...The captive. She's in a very bad state, is what I said." Ran replied, now eying him strangely.

...What the fuck?

"...Move aside," Khun ordered, shoving past him.

There's no fucking way she'd-

...Shit.

"...You know her." Ran remarked, no doubt in his voice whatsoever.

Khun didn't bother replying. No, he was too busy paying attention to the grim sight - the dead body, his mind supplied unhelpfully - before him.

Then a small, shallow breath escaped the body's lips and Khun released a quiet sigh of relief.

...It wasn't nearly this bad when I left for the meeting...What the hell happened while I was gone?

Khun's eyes zeroed in on the person crouching beside the unconscious woman. Michael.

"Tell me what happened." He ordered, striding towards the two.

The usually relaxed, easy-going doctor snapped to attention, catching the look in his eyes. Khun could see the glimpse of a syringe in his hand.

"...Well, I can't confirm anything at this point, but I think her body may have had an adverse reaction to the anesthetic...which is odd seeing as how it's usually harmless, at least in healthy individuals..." Michael began, tapping his chin, thinking, "...Do you happen to know if she has any underlying health conditions?" He finished, looking Khun in the eye.

"...No, not that I'm aware of," Khun replied tersely.

...but she did seem to have a bad case of migraines.

"...Well, she did seem to have a bad case of migraines, if that means anything." He added quickly.

"Hmm, I see...Well, whatever it is, she's in a bad state." Michael commented before adding, "I tried injecting her with an immunosuppressant, but I'm not sure it'll actually change anything..."

Change what exactly?!

"...Is she going to make it or not?" Khun asked, dreading the answer. Still, he refused to believe she could die so easily.

"...To be completely honest, I don't think so." Michael answered, frowning, "...I can't even say with certainty whether she'll even regain consciousness."

Shit.

...No, calm down. She's not going to die that easily.

"Well, I want you to do whatever you can to keep her alive." Khun ordered, quite harshly, before turning towards Ran who was scribbling something on a piece of paper.

"What's that?" Khun all but demanded, coming towards him.

"...She was muttering to herself when I first entered the room. You know, before she lost consciousness and before I went to fetch Michael...I couldn't make sense of most of it, but I thought you'd like to know anyway. Who knows-"

Khun all but snatched the paper from his hands.

On it he could read the words:

Eduan (Father?)

just 5 more minutes

kitty (a pet name?)

(something) away

Bam (a name?)

hurts

...Eduan?

"...Is that all?" Khun asked, flipping the page over.

"...Yes." Ran replied curtly.

Khun frowned, glancing back over at Sunna.

...I'm missing something important here.
