BTS To The Edge of The Sky: Plots & Twists of the Past

First Problem Solved

I suddenly heard a soft thump. Turning my head once more, I saw Five sitting backwards on a chair he pulled to the middle of both beds by the end of the curtain separating them. Looks like he's gonna be watching them longer. "Are you planning on sleeping there? It's only 3 in the morning." He nodded, placing his arms over the back of the chair.

I went to the cabinet at the corner of the clinic and took out an extra pillow. Puffing it up a bit, I gave it to Five. He looked at me then the pillow then back to me. "Take it. If you're going to sleep on that chair, you might as well get comfy." He took it slowly from me then placed both his arms and head over it.

"Thank you, Dr. Park. When will I see Dr. Sadik?"

"Later at 9. News spread quickly around HQ so hearing the news, he wanted you to have some rest first." I gave him a smile as he returned it. Laying his head down, his eyelids closed halfway. He's still tired. It's better than crying anyway.

"Rriinnggg"

The telephone on my desk rang and I answered it at once so the noise would disappear. "Hello?" At the other line I heard the voice of our attendant from the lobby. "Hello Dr. Park. Um a civilian is here right now at the lobby. He has asked to see Chimchim. Operative Eight I think? but we told him he was unavailable at the moment. He says he has something important to discuss and showed us a capsule with some white liquid in it."

'White liquid?!'

Hearing the last part, I became stiff in my seat. "Is he still there??" I asked, sounding in a hurry. "Yes Doc." He must know something, I'm sure.

"Lead him to my office. Tell him Dr. Park, the head researcher, wants to talk with him."

"Of course doctor. I'll inform him immediately."

Ending the call, I stood up at once and somehow startled Five in his seat. "Something wrong Doc?" He brought his head up and rubbed his eyes. "No no. You rest. I just have to see someone." He nods letting it slide as I exited the clinic.

In no time, I saw our attendant with a young man waiting in front of my office. "Thank you for assisting him, Mira. You may go now." She bowed at me slightly and turned on her heel heading for the elevator.

"Please come in."

The young man followed me inside as I let him sit on the chair in front of my desk. "I've heard you wanted to see Chimchim?" I questioned him. He must know something about what happened earlier. But I have to make sure he's not some sort of spy or anything.

"Yes ma'am. My name is Zack. I'm Chim's friend."

He already told me his name. So Eight told him his name was Chim. Although it was only a nickname.

"I see... You know he is an Operative??"

"Yes. Might I explain how I met him and cut to the chase then?"

"Go on..." he sounded like he was explaining an emergency. Wonder why....

"I used to be a drug seller since I had to earn myself some money. Chimchim came one day and somehow... 'hypnotized' me into stopping to sell drugs. He's been my friend since then. Earlier, he came asking me about a drug. It was in a white packet. When I had opened it, it looked like powder like usual drugs, but when you touch it, it feels like jelly. According to him actually... so then we both wondered why it was that way and wanted to know what kind of drug it was... I injected some of it into a rat. Please don't ask where I got it.... at first, it seemed to slowly die. But in the end, it nearly attacked us both. It-It rampaged! Like a deadly animal." He paused for a second to catch his breath as I thought....
