AN General Hospital
Anxiety filled the eyes of the young ot off the taxi He took out his phone at the hospital's entrance then carefully looked over the text ain
[KG Chemical Health Supplement Phase 1 Clinical Trial: December 9th-10th, 4th Floor Pharmaceutical Supply Center]
Afterwards, the young man took a deep breath, thrust his shoulders back, and entered with a gusto
That was three seconds ago
The pupils of the young htly as the smell of antiseptic characteristic to hospitals invaded his nose He felt as if his heart shriveled in anxiety again
'Hey, Jungwu Han, you have nothing to be afraid of This is a siet paid to take nutritional supplements'
The receptionist, whohiwu formed a small smile on his face to show that he was fine and crossed the hallway quickly to stand in front of the elevators
While waiting on the elevator to coaze settled on the reflection that was on the glea elevator doors
It was a strapping young man with dark brown pupils in his mid-twenties
He was on the tall side without excess fat
This was part of the criterion listed under recruitment notice for the clinical trials he wanted to participate in today He saw the ad by chance while sniffing around job hunting sites But the problem ith the additional requirements below
[ You have had experiences where you were in a coma for over a week]
[ You feel as if so up a conversation with you when you're alone]
[ You have experienced an overwhel sense of déjà vu on multiple occasions]
The require dozens of special conditions like this, you had to oosebumps than usual]
'They can't be selecting for mentally ill people Besides, I'm … '
Who knew that being hospitalized after a car crash could help him out in this way?
Ding dong
As he got on the elevator, there was a as a little surprised, as his gaze naturally turned towards this person The man had a similar physique to him and had a rather pale complexion He was a man that fit the physical requirements of the recruitment notice
The wu and asked
”Do you happen to be going to the clinical trials?”
”Huh? Oh, yes”
”Phew What a relief This is the right place”
The man must have been cold, as he placed both hands in his arwu and asked
”Is this your first time?”
”Coain?”
”First ti inti set of words You don't knohat soers, whose face you don't even knoill do to your body”
”Indeed”
The man continued as if it was all a matter of fact
”One tih blood pressureApparently, they had to check blood pressure changes resulting from extreme stress forced on the body”
”That… that sounds awful”
”Nah, that's notmedication, they told us to masturbate as they randomly turned on porn… ”
”Ma- masturbate?”
”They said, ”Shall I pull it out with a syringe? Or do you want to ejaculate yourself?” What are we supposed to say? If we asked the nurse to help, we'd probably get dragged off right to prison”
”…!”
”Anyways, when you get around, there's all kinds of weird things But, all of this adds up to a decent wage”
In other words, this wu couldn't tell if he
Ding dong
At that moment, the elevator came to a halt, then opened its doors As he stepped out into the hallway, he saw five to six other participants standing there
'There's lots of people who are just as nervous as I am'
Jungwu took a spot a for the clinical trials that begin momentarily
”Jungwu Han?”
”Here”
The rooot called into was like a scientific lab with various medical equipment that he couldn't even naht his attention
One wo around
”I am KG Chemical's Senior Researcher Chae-un Moon Call me Dr Moon”
She had her hair tied up neatly and the voice to match her appearance
”First, come this way”
Jungwu followed her for a bit and was surprised that there was such a beautiful researcher in a place like this
”The test will proceed here”
On the table that Dr Moon pointed to, was a syringe and an aer, code named 'AF-12'
Jungas confused for a moment
”I'? Wasn't this a health supplement?”
Dr Moon coldly answered Jungho asked in confusion
”The method of adned the agreement, correct?”
The infores mostly went over his head He read it all, but he couldn't remember most of all the technical terms because he couldn't understand them Dr Moon continued briskly with a business-like attitude as other participants were also surprised like Jungwu
”The methods are different for each volunteer We need to vary the ade its effectiveness in the body Creaestion, aerosol, suppository… ”
'Suppository?'
He was very satisfied with the injection
Dr Moon picked out the blood pressurethe medical equipment then placed it on the table
”I will start with some basic tests We have tofrom some other illnesses”
”Side effects…?”
At the moment, Dr Moon had an expression on her face that said, 'this isn't a '
Afterwards, a scene that was fawu unfolded Blood pressure and ECG checks, ht, and other physical features were not very different froularly had in school
30 minutes later
”Current ti diluted solution AF-12 to volunteer Jungwu Han starts now”
Dr Moon brought the syringe to Jungwu's arm
As he felt the sting, Jungatched the 01of liquid disappear into his arm
”It's done”
”Already?”
Maybe due to the s a flu vaccine
”Please standby in rooress so please refrain from excessive movements”
Jungwu nodded as he rubbed the alcohol soaked cotton on his arm
As he went out the door, the specialist in clinical trials recognized him and approached him
”Hoas it in there?”
”It wasn't much”
”Right?”
Jung a pointy pill form of AF-12 prepared on the table and flinched It was obvious that it was a shape designed to go into a certain hole
”… F-Fighting”
Other volunteers, who had been given the drug before Jungere leisurely taking up space in Room 407
After he azes, he found himself an empty bed
'That wasn't much'
He felt all the pent up energy froiven how shamefully uneventful the process was He was al his time peacefully like this
A moment later
As he was spending his free ti was stuck in his crotch but he didn't look all that uncomfortable
”Hey~ Jungwu Han ssi!”
He started chatting as he sat on the bed next to Jungwu as if it were a matter of course
”Dr Moon is no joke, right?”
”Yes, she's rather stiff It's al a little scary”
”No, isn't she really pretty? I thought I was gonnathe salve on me~”
Jungwu just scratched his chin as he watched the et it I won't comment further on this
