Sadly, I love you.
29, painkillers
- Sudun -
승철
Ah, Kim Min-gyu. Open the door.
Seungcheol kept washing his face in front of Minkyu's house.
Seungcheol, with an expression that looked like he might collapse at any moment, groaned.
민규
... No, hyung, why are you like that?
승철
Just give me some painkillers.
Min-gyu looked Seung-cheol up and down and couldn't hide his bewildered expression.
민규
... Come inside first.
Seungcheol followed Minkyu straight into the house.
민규
What are the symptoms?
Min-gyu was looking at the books lined up in the closet and the various medicinal herbs between them.
승철
Um... sometimes I can't breathe and I can't stop breathing-
Min-gyu, who was examining the medicinal herbs, stopped moving.
승철
My heart hurts so badly. It feels like it's burning.
민규
.. No, bro.
승철
And he vomited blood.
The more Seungcheol spoke, the darker and more serious Mingyu's expression became.
민규
....brother. I'm being really serious.
민규
Listen carefully.
Min-gyu looked straight at Seung-cheol.
민규
My brother's symptoms right now are absolutely not treatable with painkillers.
민규
You know, our painkillers just take the pain away.
민규
It doesn't eliminate the root cause.
승철
.... know.
Seungcheol answered as if he had given up.
민규
No, you know? How can someone who knows do that?
민규
If you know... If you know, you should try to solve it.
민규
Did you come alone?
승철
Think about it. It's a war zone. Who can you bring here?
민규
You should think about it, hyung. Are you going to war with that body?
Seungcheol looked like he wouldn't be persuaded at all.
민규
.... Oh, I don't know either.
Min-gyu turned around again and started making medicine.
민규
...eat as you like.
After quite some time, it seemed like the medicine was completely finished and Min-gyu handed it to Seung-cheol.
승철
... thanks.
승철
Negotiations with Yeon-guk are ongoing. If something goes wrong, we might be forced to retreat to Su-dun, so don't let your guard down.
민규
.... I understand.
