You're so Gullible! (Pt.2)

Namjoon studied the scroll in his hands enthusiastically like a young child would with its new toy. His eyes sparkled with fascination while his head bobbed up and down in agreement as he absorbed in every word.

"I see..." he mumbled to himself. "So, if one compresses the chest area multiple times, it will increase the chances of the patient living by much more..." He stared out the window in thought. "If only I could go and see it in practice, I would be able to understand it more."

Namjoon carefully tidied the scroll away as he prepared to go to the sanatorium. It was the only place he could go where he felt like he was doing a world of good, even though it was also the place that reminded him of her the most. He shook his head violently as he tried to banish such melancholy thoughts. Seeing his paintings again had rattled him a lot more than he anticipated.

Eager to shift his mind to something else, he glanced out the window again and was glad to find a distraction. Outside, Gyuri and Taehyung were walking alongside each other, probably making their way towards the gate. Namjoon watched them with little interest until he suddenly remembered what one of his men had reported about Taehyung last time: he had managed to slip away multiple times even under a strict watch.

Namjoon pinched his nose bridge and sighed. "When will he ever learn?"

He already suspected that Taehyung was up to no good again by sneaking out to the village without proper security. He stared at the young pair and noticed how they were talking quite animatedly. This piqued his interest. When did Taehyung and Gyuri get so close?

"I guess I can make one stop before the sanatorium," he thought aloud. "I better make sure this rascal does not get into any trouble."
