Chapter 750 Savior Complex
The members of EVE were sprawled comfortably across the plush couches in their shared living room when the shocking news broke out. They all turned silent when a sharp tone and a bold 'BREAKING NEWS' banner flashed across the screen. They focused their attention on the screen as the anchor, a woman with a composed yet urgent demeanor, appeared. "We interrupt the usual program to bring you an urgent update," she started off. "Isn't that the hospital?" Jay asked, breaking the silence. June's frown deepened as he recognized the familiar background. Indeed, it was none other than the hospital that Dr. Oh owned, sprawled across the television in all of it's transparent glory. "We have just received reports of a gunman on the loose at Seoul Hospital."
"Shit," Akira couldn't help but curse. "It's really in the hospital near here." Some of the boys glanced at June, knowing that he was a frequent visitor of the hospital. "The individual is believed to be a psychiatric patient and is currently armed and dangerous." Some clips from outside of the hospital were shown, appearing blurry to the naked eye. The camera could only capture their silhouettes through the transparent windows of the first floor. However, even then, it was obvious that there was chaos going on inside.
"Seoul Hospital has now issued a code black, and patients are being transferred out of the hospital for their safety. However, not everyone can be escorted out due to fear of being gunned down."
"The gunman is reportedly in the indoor garden where patients and some of their families were gathered. One person has been wounded, while others are hiding." "The hospital staff and the police are on the scene, paying attention to handling the situation, but the gunman appears to be extremely agitated and unpredictable."
The room erupted in protests, but June's mind was made up.
"Let me come with you," Jay said, but June didn't bother waiting for him. He didn't want to place any of them at harm, so he used his speed to lose Jay and his members. "June!" he heard from afar, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he quickly went inside the van and started the engine. He could see the boys going after him, trying to stop him, but he didn't pay them any attention. With that, he sped through the streets, his heart pounding in his chest. The city blurred past him as he pushed the car to its limits, memories of his past life flashing through his mind. The chaotic fights, nights of strategizing, and finding ways to survive...
Those instincts kicked in, pushing aside any hesitation.
As he neared the hospital, the flashing lights of police cars and ambulances came into view.
The area was cordoned off, and officers were trying to keep the growing crowd at bay. "No one may come in! I repeat, no one may come inside," the officer screamed through his megaphone. "Please, my son is inside," a woman pleaded, but the police officers didn't want to take their chances. "Rest assured, we will try our best to handle the situation," the officer responded. June parked a few blocks away and approached the scene on foot, his mind focused on one thing and one thing only. Saving those people.
