"Will you be ok?" Jin looked at Arya who was now sitting on a mattress inside the cabin.

"Do it." Arya bit her lips.

Jin didn't ask again.

He brought a little tray with him with a vial and one syringe with cotton.
The cannula was already set on Arya's arm.
It was tough to find her vein for the constant abuse of drugs through syringes over the last year. So for easy administration, Taehyung suggested they should use a cannula.

Jin carefully filled up the syringe and looked at Arya and she nodded.

Jin injected the liquid into her vein and looked at her.
It didn't take long for the effects to exhibit.

Arya suddenly felt good. Too good to be precise. She beamed at Jin and said,
"After much consideration, I think this heroin is not that nasty, you know?"

"Yeah." Jin sighed and got up, "you know I have to lock you up here, right?"

"No problem." Arya smiled exuberantly.

Araya Akaishi became addicted to heroin in just six days. Her table clock said she has been injected with heroin in six hours intervals for the last five days.

Jin didn't come into the cabin, and he never even stayed in the pasture. He went back to the Kim mansion and came only when she was needed to inject heroin or to leave food for her.

And she was permitted to go to the temporary bathroom plus toilet only after she took the shots of drugs and was in a good attitude.
They made an interim space for the bathroom so that Arya didn't need to go out of the tableland.

Though everything was on schedule, today, on the sixth day, the injection was abruptly stopped.

Arya was feeling an unusual wave of pain in her chest for the last two or three times when the time for the shots was nearing.

It was tolerable at first.
But it was becoming more and more unbearable after exceeding the time today.

Arya was looking at the watch oftentimes.

Another six hours passed slowly.
When it was over nine hours, she was already quivering violently laying on the mattress.
After some time she heard the sound of the door unlocking and she sat up eagerly.

But with her utter dismay, The tray Jin held had a bowl of soup and a plate of spaghetti on it.
No syringe, no vial.

"Jin?" Arya asked Jin with a shaky voice.

Jin put the tray on the floor and without a word, he left.

A second later, Arya heard the sound of the clicking of the lock again.

"Jin?" Arya shouted continuously going near the door until she understood that Jin left the plateau.

She came back and sat on the floor. She reached for the spoon. Her hands were trembling terribly. After a few seconds, she realized that she can't use the spoon with her shaky hands.
Her fingers let go of the spoon shortly after.
The spoon dropped from her fingers into the soup.

She took the bowl in her hands and tried to drink up straight from it.
But the taste was horrible. Or her body was just hyper-aware of her need that it was rejecting her other senses now.

She put down the bowl and sat on the mattress, trembling.

She sat there for a few more moments and then laid back, covering herself with the blanket.

She suffered the anguish the whole night.

Slowly came the seventh dawn.
The door opened and Jin entered with a tray with the vial and syringe on it.

Arya was fluttering like a dead leaf in the middle of the room. She was hugging her knees with her weak hands. She looked at Jin with hazy eyes.

Seeing Jin, she sprang up on the floor and shouted at Jin, "where the hell were you?"

Her eyes were not on Jin but the tray on his hands.

Jin set the tray on the floor.
Arya came to him eagerly pulling up the sleeve of her tracksuit.

"Wait." Jin stopped her raising one hand, "before I give you this, I want you to do something for me."

"What?"

"Kiss me." Jin's voice was calm.

Arya scowled, "why?"

Jin just shrugged, "Is it hard? Am I bad-looking?"

Arya backed one step. Her eyes were full of confusion and fear. She shook her head slowly, couldn't believe Jin asked for something like that. But her eyes were dragging towards the vial and she grumbled slowly, "No, you are the most attractive man I have ever seen. But..."

Jin shrugged and took the tray and stepped towards the door.

"No!" Arya yelled to stop him,
"Don't go! Please, give me that!"

Holding the door, Jin looked back at her, "I'll give you this. But kiss me in exchange for that."

 Arya shook her head for a few seconds in disbelief, then said in a slow voice, "No...I need that...very much... I feel sick."

Jin went out and before closing the door, he said over his shoulder, "I'll be back in one hour. Think hard if you want it or not. Condition is still the same."

After one hour, Arya was walking towards Jin with desperation. She was ready to give in.

Jin stopped Arya from grabbing his lapel and gave her the injection.

"But your condition?" Arya was confused and relaxed and also scared at the same time that Jin would perhaps take away her drug again.

"Let's save it for later."
And once again, he was gone.

Jin felt bad.
Arya wouldn't be this fragile at any other time. He was too sure that during the x99 project, she was still strong, and at least she could keep her head under her control.
But with the tremendous dosage of heroin, while she was also on x99, she was beyond her breaking point.
She has no idea what was she doing anymore.
Her senses and head were in the cloud now. All she could think was just that vial and injection.

Jin came back after eight hours. With the same tray in his hands.
Arya looked at the time almost every minute for the last two hours. The last two hours felt ten years to her.
This time Jin didn't even have to ask her for a kiss. She willingly came forward to give in.

Jin again stopped her and gave the injection.

At the third time, Jin asked her to put off her tracksuit.
Arya straight up said No and Jin went out with the tray.

Hitting the wooden door with both hands, Arya swore and screamed at him, but he didn't come back.

The fourth time, she was willing to put off her tracksuit.

Jin again stopped her and gave her the injection.

The fifth time came almost ten hours later and Arya had no hesitation and she almost jumped on Jin when he entered. But this time, Jin was even more demanding. "Strip."

Again Arya was in denial. And Jin went back straight up.

He returned two hours later with the same demand and Arya's hand reached the zipper of her tracksuit.
Her eyes were teary with humiliation and helplessness.

Jin kept his gaze fixed on the floor with an expressionless face.

"Done." Arya's shaky voice was heard.

Jin threw a packet at the floor near her feet, "wear it."
It was a clean set of tracksuits again.

After a few minutes, her voice again heard, "Done."

Jin looked up and gave her the injection.

Jin came out.

Arya was ready.

She was too deep in the addiction that coming back from that was impossible.

On the eleventh day, she vomited blood.
On the fourteenth day, She blacked out and couldn't even get up for her injection dosage.

"You have done good, hyung." Taehyung's comforting voice came from the opposite of the satellite phone.

Jin was silent.

"Hyung, I already told you that you have to cross your threshold if you want this. Is this whole procedure making you uncomfortable?"

"No." Jin's voice was calm.

"You may find these strategies inappropriate. But checking on the desperation and need of the victims has to do with the intimate demand, you know that, right?"

"I know."

"You feel guilty?"

Jin was again silent.

"She'll understand, hyung." Taehyung's voice was full of compassion, "she volunteered for this."

"I know."

"Don't beat yourself for the viciousness and crossing the limit, hyung. You'll have yet to face the worst. You sure you can keep up?"

Jin inhaled deeply and closed his eyes, "Yes."

"That's more like it." Taehyung's voice was full of encouragement.
"I gave the full box of medication that will be needed during the detox process with the manual. Strictly follow them, ok? And keep in touch with me every hour. You should start the medicine tonight. Remember, no more heroin."

"Got that."

"And hyung," Taehyung reminded him, "get some IV drips. Stop her solid food. From now on keep her in IV nutrition and give her oral enema so that her alimentary tracts emptied fully."

"Why?" Jin couldn't but ask.

"Stopping of the drugs along with the medicine will have some effects on her stomach like violent movements of her intestine.
Most likely, she'll not have any control over her bladder or guts. She'll lose the reflex. So better keep her stomach empty. She still has the cannula?"

"Yes."

"Start IV from today. Give the enema for two to three days whenever I say and then we will start the detoxification a week later. Ok?"

"On it."

"Hyung?"

"Mnn."

"How far you are willing to go for bringing her back?"

Jin was silent.

"I know you can do it, hyung. I believe you can. Just don't give up, ok?"

For the next three days, Jin gave medicine to Arya instead of heroin.
She was restless at first but methadon cooled her down.

She obeyed Jin's every instruction and soon she came back to her senses when her disoriented state was over and the methadon was pushed in her vein at a regular interval.

Jin brought her back into the mansion as soon as the medicine started.
He informed Chamiyu that Arya was sick, so she wouldn't be able to come out of her room so often.
So it would be appreciated if they don't disturb her.

"Did I cause many problems when I was out?" Arya asked Jin guiltily,  not remembering anything clearly.

"We both agreed on this." Jin didn't answer directly and Arya got her answer.
Her face flushed red and she smiled timidly, "I didn't ask you inappropriate things, did I?"

"It was the opposite," Jin stated blandly.

"Oh." realizing Jin's words, Arya uttered this much. And she didn't have to clarify why he had to go to that length. She knew.
"Jin?"

"Mnn?"

"It is ok." Arya assured him, "Don't feel guilty, please. During the detox process, it will be even harder for you."

"I know."

"I think if someone female was there, it would be good for you," Arya said sincerely.

"Seriously, I can do this."

"I left you no choice, did I? Nobody will have the mental strength to do that."
Arya's voice was again, full of guilt.

"I said I'll do it." Jin dismissed her.

"You are this much embarrassed asking me some intimate words even," Arya flared up in frustration, "What will you do when I'd be out of control? You know at one point, I'll refuse to keep my clothes on, I'll ask you to touch me, I'll try to force myself on you and I'll not have any control over my desire. Would you still be able to tolerate me?"

Jin remained silent for a few seconds and softly reached her hands, "I have a question."

"What?"

"Will it be ok if I stay in no matter whatever state you will be in?"

Arya looked at Jin's eyes for a few seconds and nodded, "Yes."

"Will you be ok if I have to touch you or do whatever I need to do though you'll be far off to give consent?"
Jin's voice was calm.

Arya remained silent and after a minute, she moved keeping the IV drip safe and quietly snuggled close to Jin, and encircled her hands around him pulling him for an affectionate embrace.

"It is ok." Her voice was heard, soft and wet, "I already consented. I trust you. I know you'd never do anything inappropriate to me. I am just worried that all these will gross you out."

Jin's hands hesitantly came up and patted Arya's back unsurely.

"You ok?" Arya slowly asked, "Your heartbeat..."

Jin carefully released her hands around him and nodded as if he didn't listen to her and said, "Sleep now. You'll not get any sleep within the next few days."

And again, he was out.

She had access to the outside this past
Few days since the methadon was started. Her movements will again be
Restricted once the detox procedure starts.

But Arya was still in a daze.
What was all with those heartbeats? Does he have any heart condition?
Why it was beating so abnormally?
