Haven Bound An Enhypen Story

Chapter Ten

A layer of ice sprouted from Sunoo's wound covering it the blood that pooled in the base of his spine froze. "Wow! It hasn't even been fifteen seconds and Homeostasis and Re-epithelialization are already taking place rapidly." Dr. Kim spoke out loud placing the scalpel down. "So you still have access to Sung-Hoon's mutation even in small quantities. I wonder if any major injuries would warrant the same result?" Dr. Kim questioned.

Sunoo fought against his restraints as Dr. Kim stood and walked over to the other boy in the room who was still unconscious he grabbed a syringe filled with an unknown substance and injected it into the IV placed in the boy's arm slowly he opened his eyes and looked around the room he went to sit up and found himself also restrained. "Good Afternoon Mr. Jackson it's nice to see you awake how are you today? Dr. Kim asked sarcastically his smile still not reaching his eyes as the panic set in Jackson's face. "Dr. Kim, what's going on, why did you bring me here, why am I tied up?" Jackson questioned pulling at his restraints. "Jackson I want you to meet someone special he is going to be our meal ticket out of here." He pointed in Sunoo's direction. "This is Kim Sunoo." Jackson turned and looked in the direction Dr. Park pointed there he saw him his white hair stood out to him first then it was his body Sunoo looked deathly pale in comparison to the frozen blood that pooled at his sides and the ice that splayed across Sunoo's back. "So what does he have to do with me?" Jackson asked panic now replaced dread when Dr. Kim walked towards the red chorded phone hanging on the wall. "Mr. Yeoh make sure you and the personnel are on standby thank you." Placing the phone back on the base Jackson heard Sunoo grunt as he began to fight his restraints again.

"Let me go!" Sunoo shouted and Jackson noticed the air in the room change he could see Sunoo's breath Dr. Kim walked over to his favorite cabinet and grabbed the black glass jar that read dichloride and an empty syringe. "I was gradually going to bring us to climax but Jackson it seems your partner here isn't very cooperative." He says filling the syringe and walking to Sunoo whose side of the room had a thin layer of nilas covering the floor that crunched when Dr. Kim walked closer he grabbed Sunoo's IV and injected the dichloride coloring the tubing orange as it entered Sunoo's veins.

Sunoo paused and began to scream Jackson watched as Sunoo writhed and then convulsed his screaming stopped as blood poured from his nose, ears, and mouth pooling on the bedding. Dr. Kim smiled as he checked Sunoo's pulse setting a timer and walked out of the room Jackson stared at the body across the room from him and sighed—What was going to happen now? He thought. Jackson sat in silence for a moment when he felt a chill run down his spine and he froze Jackson started to feel what felt like hands taking hold of his hands lifting them and the fingers intertwining with his squeezing them with a force he hadn't felt before, Jackson's head began to tilt backward as he began to lose consciousness.

Jackson felt clear-minded before he floated into the abyss letting the darkness take over...

Jackson opened his eyes to Dr. Kim watching him from above the room was charred and his clothes were burned when he sat up he realized he was on the floor and his hand was intertwined with Sunoo who was unconscious but the blood was gone there was a pink hue to his cheeks that wouldn't usually be on a dead person. "What the hell, what happened?" Jackson asked wrenching his hand away from the unconscious form next to him, Sunoo didn't move and Dr. Kim started laughing. "Amazing just downright amazing. I've never seen anything like this in the fifteen years I've been here, look at him he is perfectly healed not a scratch on him." Dr. Kim sounded astonished by what happened Jackson stood and looked around the room everything was burned or singed but Sunoo didn't have a mark on him.

"Dr. Kim, what happened to the lab?" Jackson asked moving away from Dr. Kim he spotted the timer on the ground still going. "I was out for an hour what did you do to me, what the fuck is going on?" Jackson questioned now upset to see an hour of his life had gone missing the time frame was blank to him. Dr. Kim hadn't answered him he sat still on the ground next to Sunoo staring at him as if they were the only two in the room, he yelled for the doctor to answer but got nothing the whole exchange was pissing him off he tried again to no avail. Mr. Yeoh walked into the room with two other guards who escorted him to his room.

Dr. Kim smiled staring down at Sunoo he brushed the hair that had fallen over his eyes out of the way and sighed woefully—How was he going to hide this from the others he couldn't handle if one of the other doctors got a hold of Sunoo before he could even start his serum. He stood and walked to the drawer that wasn't too badly burned and grabbed three empty vials and a straight needle to draw Sunoo's blood while he was still unconscious. Using an alcohol wipe he swabbed Sunoo's arm and inserted the needle his skin was hot and burning almost just like Jackson's before he learned to control it—He wondered if Sunoo still had the use of Sung-Hoons mutation or did every new one replaced the old? He smiled to himself filled with excitement to find out. Mr. Yeoh walked back into the room with a gurney and they both gently picked up Sunoo and placed him on it.

Sunoo stirred awake with a terrible taste in his mouth and his body was covered in sweat he was hot and burning up when he felt a cool touch on his forehead Sunoo leaned into it with a small moan escaping his lips the cooling touch stifled a laugh before moving to his cheek then down to his neck. Sunoo was in heaven the cool touch made he heat bearable he never wanted it to stop until it did, Sunoo had to open his eyes to someone's back their shoulders were broad and they were ringing a towel out in the sink before turning around it was Ni-ki who walked back to him his hair was pulled back in a half bun and he had the softest smile on his face Sunoo couldn't stop the flutters that erupted in his stomach and he smiled back.

"You scared me yesterday you know when you died I thought wow just my luck the only person that's ever had a real conversation with me is now dead." He said sitting down infront of Sunoo folding the towel and gently placing it on his head. "After our conversation the other day, I thought you would have come to me for help." Sunoo sighed and began to sit up cool towel forgotten. "To be honest I was so angry about what happened with Dr. Park and I didn't want to take that anger out on you, you just seem so aloof to everyone that I didn't want to dump my problems onto you." Sunoo reasoned making sure to make eye contact. "Not to you." Ni-ki paused and Sunoo looked down if he wasn't already hot he was sure he would've blushed. "I know I come off a bit standoffish, but I wouldn't have offered if I didn't mean it." Sunoo looked back up when Ni-ki stopped talking the room was now filled with silence he nodded with understanding before reaching for the discarded towel and wiping away the sweat that had now started to make his collar heavy. "Why is it so hot here? Is the power off?" Sunoo asked.

Ni-ki laughed out loud making Sunoo smile at how comforting it was. "You've been like this since you came back this morning what happened to you?
