“Surely, he’s not going to ride the bus?”
As he aiting for the bus at the bus stop, Lee-joonhyuk looked at the hypothetical interview questions As he saw the bus approach, he put away his smartphone
When he got on the bus, there were less people than he expected The only seat left was behind the driver’s seat Since it was above the wheel, it was a bit uncomfortable(TLN: in korean bus, the spare tire is located behind the bus driver’s seat, so the seat immediately behind is raised where your feet would be)The door of the bus closed, and they were about to depart Soainst the front door The front door of the bus opened after a grandot on the bus, Lee-joonhyuk got up from his seat
“Please sit here”
After the grandma looked around inside the bus, she sat on the seat offered by Lee-joonhyuk Excluding Lee-joonhyuk’s seat, everyone was quite older than him
As the grandma sat in the seat, she didn’t even say a word of thanks However, Lee-joonhyuk didn’tat his smartphone as he stood next to her
As he was focused on the bus departing, his ear picked up the sound of the radio
-Today is Friday Up until now, the strange sleeping disorder and the mass coma situation happened on this particular day of the week What ride did Miss Gahee ride co to the studio?
Lee-joonhyuk’s ear tilted when he heard the name, Gahee Gahee was his favorite feh co favorable irams
-Today is Friday, so I used the subway After the incident two o, the subway employs three conductors, so I heard it was safe
Lee-joonhyuk felt a sense of unease as he heard those words It was inevitable, since he was riding a bus When he looked around his surrounding, everyone was advanced in age They didn’t seem too worried about their own safety
-It happens every Friday Over 6000 patients around the world develops the abnor disorder, and they all fall into a coma within 1 hour I believe the number has exceeded over 600,000?
Gahee’s voice shook slightly
-I hope everyone will be able to wake up safely
-The greatest scholars of our world is investigating this ood result Well, shall we listen to today’s story?
Lee-joonhuk took a deep breath
-The abnor disorder orized differently fro disorder The difference was once they fell asleep, they couldn’t be injured
When so, one would et into an accident However, the person involved in the car accident was always unhurt The only problem was they would fall into a comatose state, and not wake up
Those who fell into the narcoleptic sleep was safe, but everyone else died The biggest accident was an air plane crash The pilot and co-pilot fell asleep, and it caused the plane to fall into a hotel
At the time, it was a massive accident where more than 400 people had died After this accident, the world’s gaze was focused on this matter Until that time, it was assumed people randomly fell into narcoleptic sleep, but a lot of facts caht after the accident
It was found that the narcolepsy only happened on Fridays Those who fell into the narcoleptic sleep was all under 40 years old, and it didn’t discrienders At the time, there were total 6000 people affected around the world
Moreover, the people in the narcoleptic sleep could withstand any physical dae However, after one hour, they would fall into a coma and their body would return to normal
The nervous Lee-joonhyuk studied the driver’s face At a glance, he looked to be around 50 years old Lee-joonhyuk relaxed, and he focused on his sain
He tried to focus on the hypothetical interview question, but his concentration had already been lost He let out a light sigh, and he turned his ear towards the radio program
Coincidentally, he heard Gahee’s voice
-I hope you all do well on whatever you do today Everyone cheer up I’ll be back next week
At her words, Lee-joonhyuk felt his interview today will go well
The grandave his seat to, spoke to him
“Young man”
“Yes Grandma”
The grandma looked out the
“Did we cross the center line?”
“What?”
Lee-joonhyuk turned his head to look forward, and his face stiffened They were slowly crossing over the center line He quickly approached the driver, but he was already asleep
“damn!”
He was sure the narcolepsy only affected those under 40 Lee-joonhyuk desperately turned the handle, and he steered the vehicle back within the center line
However, the sleeping driver was stepping on the gas pedal, so the distance between the car in front of them decreased rapidly
Lee-joonhyuk quickly pressed on the horn
Bbaaaahhhhng!
