Later that day, Seonghwa and Dr. Jong met each other in San's office.

"I deeply apologise for responding late. It hasn't been long since i came back. I contacted with you as soon as i read your letters."

"No need Major Park. The first letter i sent you was out of duty but since things are getting complicated and out of my control i needed to consult with the relevant authorities."

They've met each other before few times. He was a friend of Seonghwa's father as most of the nobles of the country were.

"Sure. Shall we get to the point then?"

They talked for hours. Although Dr. Jong recounted the details to Seonghwa, the further he went, the more confused Seonghwa became.

"What do you mean suddenly they turned to an animal in heat?"

"As i told you, the first few days their prodrome was just a little fever, which wasn't far-fetched considering the condition they were in before. But then...i don't know it was...they started touching themselves then each other and their kids..."

"Kids? You mean...?"

"Unfortunately. They clearly weren't in their right mind. Nurses managed to separate kids from their mothers but instead some of them got involved in that mess."

"What you're  saying is that this disease is actually an overloaded sexual desire which lead to death?"

"Yes you can put it that way. We found this out later that if patient control the disease by sexual activities or the drug, it will not appear so much and she will just look like a lustful person, and if suppressed, the patient will experience high fever and seizures or engage in insane acts which that lead her to death."

Seonghwa rubbed his forehead. There was so much for him to understand.
"Did you said drug?"

Dr. Jong took a small bottle from his pocket and placed it in front of Seonghwa.

"At first we thought it transmit by semen. Till we found this."

Seonghwa picked the bottle. There was a pink powder in it.
"Where was it?"

"They had hidden it in their vagina."

He put it back immediately with a disgusted face.
Sounds of argument and aggressive footsteps could be heard from the upper floor.

Seonghwa got up from his seat. "Umm...Thanks for today Dr. Jong i have to get back to my work i think it's enough for today."

Dr. Jong nodded: "It's okay. we're still researching on the drug but we need an official permission for autopsy."

"I'll make the preparations."

"Thanks. And one more thing, i Just remembered; They had one more thing in common. There was a cross burnt on their back. I think northerners did it for marking the captives."

"Ah...thanks for informing me."

Seonghwa took out his right hand glove and offered his hand.

"See you later then Dr. Jong."
"Later, Major Park."

They shook hands and then Seonghwa hurried upstairs.
