I became the female doctor's test subject
I became the female doctor's test subject
Conference room. Many people were seated.
"Kim Ye-ra seonsaengnim. How is the new drug project progressing?"
Kim Ye-ra, holding a file, gulped and stood up while looking at the people in white coats.
"Coincidentally, a volunteer appeared today. We administered it to the volunteer today, so I'll report the results by next week."
"Today? Did you just say today? Kim seonsaeng. Are you joking with me? I clearly gave you two months, yet you're telling me you've only managed to wait for a single volunteer?"
"Since this is an experiment involving monster poison, everyone is reluctant to become a test subject. We were lucky to even get a volunteer this time..."
-Bang!
The balding old man slammed the file he'd received onto the desk. The murmuring around them instantly died out, and Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng, who had been facing him directly, shut her mouth as well.
"Kim seonsaeng. Weren't you supposed to show us the new drug development results today? I told you clearly that if you don't produce results with this new drug, we'll no longer be able to receive government support going forward..."
"Please be patient, our generous daepyonim. I'll have a good talk with Kim seonsaeng."
"Silence! This isn't the first or second time. Kim seonsaeng. Must our entire company suffer because of you alone?"
A man next to the bald old man called daepyo isa rubbed his hands together trying to calm him down, but instead the old man shouted and glared at Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng. Under the daepyo's gaze, Yera seonsaeng felt wronged, but she held back her tears and opened her mouth.
"If you grant me just a little more time, I'll submit the new drug development report right away. Daepyonim..."
"Huh. You're shameless, Kim seonsaeng. If I were you, instead of waiting for volunteers, I would have tested it on my own body and recorded the reactions. The fact that you intend to continue working here without that level of passion makes me think you lack either dedication to your work or competence."
The team leaders and department heads nodded in agreement with the director's words.
There were already no allies for Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng here.
"Fine, this will be the last time. Bring results, not a progress report, next week. Otherwise, the first one to take off their clothes will be Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng... you."
She stood with her hands clenched tight from pressure and fear.
After the meeting ended and she finished cleaning up, the moment she stepped out of the conference room, she crouched down on the floor.
The words the corporate superiors exchanged as they left the conference room came rushing back.
'We'd understand if you ran away right now.'
'If you have no talent, looking for other work is also one way to go.'
'From what I can see, don't you have a nice figure? Kim seonsaeng. A job that draws popularity rather than working in the medical field wouldn't look bad on you, hehehe.'
Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng couldn't say a word even when openly disrespected.
Her peers from other departments had already succeeded in their projects, taken team leader positions, and were enjoying leisurely work lives, but she was still stuck in place.
Not only that, but the New Drug Development Department was where her late grandfather had worked.
It was a department abandoned by the company long ago, but she stayed there alone for her late grandfather and for herself.
'I will never let the New Drug Development Department that my grandfather left behind disappear...'
She bit her lip as if steeling her resolve.
She vowed to use the man who had volunteered to the very end, to somehow produce results.
After the meeting, she made an impromptu plan to capture the perverted man.
Once someone receives a reward, the summoned can return to their original world no matter the crisis.
She would make her move before giving the reward.
Feed him sleeping pills under the pretense of giving a reward, then restrain him and use him as a permanent test subject.
In fact, she had perfectly restrained him and thought she had acted well enough to hide her true intentions until then.
But he was a person from another world. There were variables.
He had leisurely sidestepped Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng's trap and obtained what he wanted.
As pleasant pleasure coursed through her entire body, the sobbing Kim Ye-ra seonsaengnim thought:
'I was unlucky. Of all things, he had to be a Multi-Ability Awakener...'
Even overseas, an SS-grade Dual Ability user is considered a tremendous monster, but this man possessed even greater potential.
As an ordinary person, Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng had no choice but to have the situation reversed no matter what trap she devised.
"Hic... hic..."
"Don't cry. I'll go back without doing anything."
"I'm sorry..."
Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng looked at him with dead eyes. With an expression as if she had lost everything.
"You say you're sorry, so why are you crying? Something must have happened."
"It's nothing. Go back. We had sex, so... you don't need me anymore now, right."
Kim Ye-ra seonsaeng felt utterly despondent. She had worked so hard, yet no one acknowledged her. The new drug project, which was her last chance, was as good as ruined.
Countless animal and plant test results existed, but the daepyo wouldn't even glance at that data.
The daepyo was someone who only valued human test results. Telling her to present the completed product along with human experiment results at next week's meeting. It was absolutely impossible.
As the daepyo said, her only options were to inject the drug into herself and die, or leave the company.
"Ever since you came back from that meeting, seonsaengnim hasn't been yourself. Tell me what's going on."
"Ah... I guess it showed... Right.. Truth is, from that moment I had resolved to harbor bad intentions."
"What did they say to you... that made you want to use me as a permanent test subject?"
"Don't worry about it... It's just something that happened because I was inadequate..."
"How could I not worry? We had a good time together. Tell me your troubles."
What a foolish man. Just moments ago, he was destined to be used his whole life and then die, yet here he was being so kind to her.
"I'm experimenting with your body right now. We're still in progress. If we push a little harder, won't good results come out?"
"That alone is far from enough. Honestly, the experiment earlier... was a failure. It's an ingestible perfume drug, but if the reaction doesn't appear immediately, it's inferior to existing perfumes."
To be competitive with spray perfumes, the ingestible perfume also had to be manufactured so the fragrance rose immediately after consumption.
In short, the drug Jageun took was a failure.
This meant they had to manufacture and experiment with the drug from scratch again.
The reason she could only announce that a volunteer had appeared when she went to the meeting was ultimately because she couldn't bring herself to admit it had failed.
"What's needed for the experiments going forward is... human testing to administer the drug until the fragrance rises immediately from the body. But you were the only volunteer. I had no choice but to keep... administering drugs to you and observing the reactions.. I'm sorry.. for thinking only of using you."
She hung her head and sobbed.
"Then why are you crying? If you had told me that from the beginning, it would have been fine. I wouldn't have minded such experiments as long as I could have sex with you, seonsaengnim."
"Heh... Thank you for comforting me. But if you keep administering drugs like that, you'll die. I told you. This is originally monster poison. The moment the substance gradually accumulates, it becomes toxic."
"Then in the end, I would die..."
"...Yes... so don't worry about me and go back.. If you stay here, I'll inject you again."
Overdosing on the drug turns it into poison. Seonsaeng's words essentially meant trading my life for the results.
'An experiment until the fragrance rises from the body, huh..'
Park Ja-geun thought deeply for a moment. His last day with Angelica came to mind.
The day the two of them shared drinks. Jageun was actually weak to alcohol. His limit was half a bottle of soju... In comparison, Angelica could handle over three bottles, and ordinary Jageun couldn't keep up with her.
He had thought that if this continued, he might be branded a lightweight and disappoint her.
At that moment when the glasses were dancing from intoxication. He saw a water spirit floating in the air.
-Spirit. I'm drunk, can you sober me uuup~?
"You want me to purify the poison? That's easy work for me."
The water spirit smiled and cleansed Jageun's entire body, and his dizziness disappeared, allowing him to stand up straight.
'Thanks to the spirit, I got to see Angelica drunk.'
Viewed that way, even with an overdose of the new drug, he could detoxify it with the spirit's help.
-Spirit, detoxify what you first injected.
"Purification? Easy!"
As water spray rose around me, the unpleasant sensation inside my tongue disappeared and I felt much more refreshed.
"Water droplets... that just now was..."
"I detoxified the poison flowing through your body. No matter how many times you inject the drug, I won't die."
"No matter how much of a Multi-Ability Awakener, that's impossible...!"
"Trust me. I'll stay by your side until you make the fragrant drug. Please use my body freely."
"Ah.. how can this be.."
"I'm a person from another world, after all. In exchange, could you make pills instead of injection needles?"
"O..of course! I'll work hard!"
After that, hell began for a week.
Just the pills she gave me three times a day numbered in the dozens and hundreds. All the drugs had different tastes, different fragrances, everything was different.
At times my tongue went numb, and once I temporarily had excessive gas.
"Su..success! It worked! A nice fragrance is coming from Jageun-ssi!"
"It finally succeeded!"
I could see the dark circles thick under the eyes of her, who possessed an intellectual charm. As if this opportunity was the last of her life, she had devoted all her strength to the experiment.
From the perspective of someone watching from the side, I couldn't help but fall for the image of seonsaengnim doing her absolute best.
"No side effects... and the perfume scent's duration is... 3 hours."
"Not bad. Now you just need to go to the conference room and present it well."
"Yes! I'll go and come back. Jageun-ssi."
She was tired but spoke cheerfully as she left the white room.
When she left, I could see the countless records and experimental tools around. I decided to organize them one by one while waiting for her.
"Auuu..."
Above my head, the spirit was struggling.
If seonsaengnim had it the hardest, the next was that spirit. It had used its power for a week detoxifying the injected drugs.
"You've worked hard, spirit."
"Next time, I want to do something fun..."
"Want to go back and rest?"
"No, I want to stay more!"
"Why?"
"I want to see how the two of you end."
"What? The two of us?"
"Yeah! I'm curious about the ending between you and that woman from earlier! I definitely want to see it and tell the other spirits!"
"I'm looking forward to that too.. I wonder what will happen next. It's not like I'll end up tied up in here again, right."
"That was fun!"
"I didn't think it was fun~"
