Jisung's felt the lava-like temperature on his hand at the exact same time a loud sizzling sound emitted and he immediately let out a blood-curdling scream. He dropped the syringe which fell on the ground which thankfully didn't break, but Jisung fell over on his knees and screamed. Tears fell from his eyes instantly as the liquid sizzled on his hand while small streams of smoke surrounded his wound and continued to burn.

His hand that was once perfectly healthy was now beginning to form white and red burn marks around the area that was actually touched by the liquid. His flesh immediately started to rot disgustingly and shift to a black and dark purple hue. His skin couldn't protect him against the hot liquid at all and it immediately melted through his layers of skins; eventually reaching his metacarpal bones.

The burning sensation was horrible and his whole body, especially his arm, started shaking violently. His immediate reaction was to find the sink, but his legs gave up all of a sudden. Jisung fell over completely with his left arm now uncontrollably shaking. He saw the liquid burn into his skin, but that wasn't what scared him the most. His wrist veins turned black. His body absorbed it.

Jisung clutched his wrist, making sure not to directly touch it with his other hand, but no matter how hard he clenched it or added pressure, the liquid already burned his skin and absorbed into him. The male looked at his wrist and hand, seeing it almost completely red, purple and burned, but the pain started to slowly settle as if his while hand was going numb. Yet, Jisung felt something weird spread through him.

He felt it in his arm until it reached his shoulder, but he no longer felt it when his arm went completely numb as well. Jisung lied his head on the solid ground, feeling himself losing consciousness. Jisung moaned and whimpered in pain, no longer able to scream anymore. His vision became blurry. He had been screaming until his voice gave out because of the immense amount of pain the burn brought him. However, he could finally rest now.

Jisung's sobs were silent when his vision finally turned black. He thought that this was the end, but it was a lot more peaceful than he was expecting. The left side of his body felt numb while the right side started to feel tingly. He felt no pain. He felt peaceful.

Jisung thought that this was the end.

The brunette's eyes fluttered opened weakly. His body felt so heavy and weak. He couldn't move. Jisung opened his eyes to see that he was still on the laboratory floor with the syringe just a couple of feet away from his face. He moved his head slowly, looking at his left hand. The horrible, rotten wound made him want to cry because of how awful it looked.

The burn left his hand red and purple with many blisters. There was barely any skin on the back of his hand left. The front was safe, but the back and the beginning of his fingers weren't. Jisung couldn't move it. He couldn't move his hand at all and the sight of seeing his bones made him want to throw up. The black veins were no longer there, but his veins looked... darker. A dark blue instead of the normal blue that veins would have.

Jisung sat up, wiping away the dried tears with his right hand. He sat up against a cabinet located below the counter and looked at his injured hand. He tried moving it, but couldn't. It made him want to cry. He could move his arm thankfully, but not his hand. He was lucky that it wasn't his dominant hand, but the thought of one of his hands being paralyzed made him want to cry again. He couldn't feel the pain because it was still completely numb, but he knew that having it exposed wasn't good.

Jisung wanted to compare his veins to his right one. Indeed, there was a difference. His left wrist had at least two darker shades of blue veins than his right one. The dark blue veins traveled only up to his shoulder area. He sighed in what he didn't know was relief or something else.
