Intertwined: Two fates

54 - Dread

Seoul Hospital Center.

The monitor room in the special ward for Alphas was crowded with a handful of nurses and specialists from the Pheromones Department and Radiology Department with Jackson wang, the chief surgeon of the Neurological Department, as the leading doctor.

The wounds on his body had not even been taken care of yet, and the bleeding slash on his chest had only been wrapped haphazardly with bandage. In order to prevent the clothes from restricting his movement, he even went bare-chested and only draped his white coat over his shoulders.

Droplets of crimson blood could be seen oozing out through the bandage as he stood in front of the computer screen with an ugly look on his face.

"Doctor Wang, the patient is not cooperating! We can't connect him to the IV drips!"

"Doctor Wang, the patient's pheromones have gotten out of control! If this goes on any longer, I fear that his gland will be damaged!"

"Doctor Wang, your wounds-"

"Shut up!" He abruptly snapped only to realize that the one who issued that sentence was none other than his secretary, Miss Meilin. For a split second, his expression froze before he returned his gaze to the screen, grumbling, "These are all skin wounds, okay? We should check Jungkook's vitals first. He has been drugged!"

Everyone's expression turned heavy. They had more or less heard about AX-03. That year when the fatal side effects of this drug were finally showing for the first time, the hospitals all over the country were swarmed with rampaging Alphas with damaged glands. They were all either ordinary or weak Alphas, and the scene was already so chaotic that the police had to lend a hand to maintain order.

As for the one inside the confinement room right now... it was a superior Alpha! The cream of the crop! The one who stood at the very top of the food chain!

Even though the confinement room had been built in a special way to prevent the pheromones from leaking out, they could still feel the low pressure in the air. It was so heavy that they felt as if their bones had been stuffed with lead, making each

movement feel increasingly cumbersome and exhausting.

"About this..." Doctor Nam from the Pheromones Department could not help but suggest, "If he has been drugged, then isn't it better for us to call the police? Listen to me, Doctor Wang. A rampaging superior Alpha is not something we can handle!"

"No," Jackson answered gravely without hesitation. "No police. We will take care of him ourselves."

Everyone exchanged a helpless look. They knew about Doctor Wang and the patient's good relationship and understood how he was unwilling to let his friend be entangled with the police due to an unforeseeable accident, but they were really telling the truth when they said that they could not handle this patient!

"Don't worry," Jackson added as if knowing their concerns. "Help is on the way."

"What do you-"

Before anyone could ask what he meant by that, there was a firm knock on the door and a familiar figure entered.

They were startled. "Doctor Min? What are you doing here?"

That person was none other than Min Yoongi. Today, he did not have a night shift and he had only come here in a hurry upon receiving Jackson's call. He wore a casual shirt and black slacks, and his slightly messy hair made him look younger than usual.

Yoongi nodded in acknowledgement toward everyone's present and made a beeline to Jackson, frowning, "How is he?"

"This is the help I am talking about," Jackson explained to the confused crowd as he patted Yoongi's shoulder. "Don't worry. Doctor Min has very rich experience in dealing with this patient, right?"
