Chemistry

Dozens of firefighters are on the move to secure a traffic safety net. Yoon Lee Seol was watching Jungwoo in the middle.

“Captain Lim Wu, here's your hat. ”

“Thank you, Pildu. ”

Jungwoo, who used to press the helmet from a tall, small-looking firefighter, stands next to a fire truck full of equipment that she doesn't know what's going on.

“This place is full of anti-inflammatory drugs, right? ”

“Rescue trucks aren't as diverse as pump cars. ”

“We're running low on emissions. Is this oxygen can be used? ”

“Of course, sir. Whatever you say. ”

The firefighter, who keeps calling Jungwoo the commander, was very familiar with Jungwoo's work. Pretend to bring anything that's heavy. Raise your hand to move it.

I also wondered if Yoon Yi Seol had worked together once or twice because his hands and feet fit perfectly. However, I had to tilt my head because I had no sense that the chemist and the firefighter were going to catch their breath.

About five minutes later, Jungwoo carrying a gas-like device on his back turned. And I met Yoon Iseol's gaze, looking at him carefully.

“Mr. Lee Seol. He's in the car. It's gonna rain soon. ”

“I'll see if I can't get in the way. ”

“So · · ·”

Jungwoo took off his baseball cap and put on the fire hat he was wearing.

“Put this on. If it's heavy, don't take it off because it's sturdy. ”

“What about Jungwoo? ”

“I can avoid anything. This hat is even nicer. ”

Jungwoo in a baseball cap smiles briefly and walks to the guardrail with the car in it.

Yoon Lee Seol continued to look at Jungwoo with a curious look on his face, holding on to his grumpy fire hat with both hands.

“Move aside! If the medicine works, there will be a lot of flying towards the river. ”

Firefighters clinging to the SUV crumpled by Jungwoo's cry move to the side.

Jungwoo lifts the sparger where the guardrails, wheels and various metal frames are intertwined. The white liquid sprays from the nozzle along with the toothache noise and envelops the surroundings.

“One, two, three, four ·”

Jungwoo, who was counting the numbers, nodded to the firefighter who was assisting him.

“Now, Pildu. ”

The auxiliary firefighter opened the valve of the barrel containing only oxygen and shot it into a bubble, bubbling like it was boiling.

The bubble narrows at the moment.

Yoon Iseol had to open his eyes in a circle, a strange phenomenon that coiled up to the frame where the liquid had been buried.

“Back, back! ”

Two seconds after evading Jungwoo and the fire marshal? The bubble that had shrunk ever expanded at the same time and emitted cloudy dust towards the river.

Bubble bun!

A frozen SUV tumbles off the guardrail and rolls off the road.

Yoon Yi Seol's gaze, which twitched his neck, was directed toward the powder that disappeared in the wind.

“What did you do? ”

The surprise of firefighters who were sweating for more than 20 minutes was greater than her surprise. Firefighters with the letter 'dissolver' on their backs were particularly loud.

“Team Leader Jae-ho Kim. If I had one of these, I'd use it. ”

“I'm speechless. You said you were getting recognized in the spring, and Central got a new supply kit? ”

Jungwoo returns to the rescue car with the equipment as if it were nothing.

“Here you go, Mr. Lee Seol. Dangerous things have passed. ”

Yoon Lee Seol asked as he looked at Jungwoo returning his baseball cap.

“Is that magic? ”

“I don't know what grown-ups are saying. You sprinkle the coolant, and then you turn it up. There's not a lot of metal that's going to withstand a sudden contraction. ”

“That's magic. ”

While holding the fire hat firmly, I saw Yoon Iseol expressing curiosity like a child, and smiled at him.

“If you like that hat, keep it on. It's waterproof.”

“Waterproof?”

Tuck.

Yoon Seol lifted his head to heaven as he felt something hit him on the top of the hat.

Thug, thug.

A drop of rain fell from my cheek down my neck at 7: 57. It was raining.

Shoot!

Wide back seat of a rescue truck with long legs when you lie down. In the middle of it, Jungwoo glanced at the window like a thick stream of water from an automobile car.

‘It's worse than I thought. ’

When I calculated the total amount of rain vaguely in the molecular world, I felt different from when I actually saw it. The stream of water falling from the sky was rough enough that the wipers could barely see ahead of their movements without any rest.

In Rescue # 1, which left a dramatically breached road around 8: 15, three firefighters from the Central Fire Rescue Team were on board.

- 30 minutes to the tower? Can't you go any faster?

“Commander, if we step on it, we're in danger. ”

In the front seat, I heard Kim Jae-ho's voice sharing the radio with the situation room.

We'll have a panic room at 9: 00. Jungwoo won't even have time to work.

Kim Jae-ho turned his head to the back seat.

“Jungwoo. Does it take long to make that prediction? ”

“Not really. Five to 10 minutes? ”

Kim Jae-ho smiled and put the radio on his mouth.

“Not really. What are you so eager to see about our Mr. Jungwoo's abilities? You should have seen Director Seo Zhejiang before. ”

- He's telling the truth. My Jung Woo, your Jung Woo?

“That's enough childish talk. And as the situation in the field is very bad, I'm going to put the field commander's judgment first. The commander cares about the entire Central region, not just one person. They just called it in. ”

- Hey, Jae-ho.

“Hang up, over. ”

Kim Jae-ho, who hung a dull radio in front of him, turned his eyes to the driver's seat.

“Go as safely as you can. ”

“I am. ”

Im Su-ho suddenly asked Kim Jae-ho, focusing on the front, where the lane is almost invisible.

“Sir, honestly, you didn't trust your orders to be prepared for this rain, did you? ”

“Does it matter? It's already pouring.”

“I don't understand what Captain Ma and Mr. Lim Wu have to do at the top of the tower. ”

Looking at the unseen rain, Jae-ho Kim opened her mouth in disgust.

“Guardian.”

“Yes.”

“If there's an emergency, Then follow Mr. Jungwoo's instructions, even if you don't understand. In some cases, you can ignore all the above directions. ”

“Sir, or the captain's orders? ”

“Yeah, man. ”

“Do you trust him that much? ”

“When you get a chance, look for a story about Dongmyung Ilbo. You'd be surprised. ”

Kim Jae-ho turned his eyes to the young firefighter in the back seat.

“Lead. You must back up thoroughly beside Jungwoo. Okay?"

“Yep!"

Yoon Iseol, who couldn't keep his eyes off the window, was shocked by the loud shout of his head. She asked Jungwoo in a strange, familiar voice.

“Jungwoo. You guys know each other well? ”

“We've done this a few times. ”

“Work? What's going on? ”

Jung pondered briefly because he would only raise concerns about Yoon Lee Seol, who wandered around the burning mountain, even though there was no risk of suffering from drug bidding or snowfall at the fire school. In Goseong, Yoon Yi Seol also encountered a high thread that reacted violently. Just like fate.

“Just what. ”

“Chi. Play again. I don't understand what Mr. Jungwoo is doing, do I? Why are you so good with equipment when you're not even a firefighter? You can't even tell me that? ”

As she wipes the moisture off the fire hats with a mop, she turns her head to her sighs.

“Mr. Jungwoo is a firefighter from heaven. ”

Yoon Lee Seol lowered his head and looked over Jungwoo's shoulder.

“Is the sky falling? ”

The essence of her eye contact was delayed by the potential beauty in her delicate gaze, and I had a feeling that even her true appearance would be unimaginable. Maybe that's why. I didn't mean to, but I got the answer right away.

“Commander Milesu said. ”

“And? Did you say anything else? ”

“He is also a member of the Central Fire Department's elite, and must be summoned in case of emergency. ”

“Wait a minute, Pildu. ”

Jungwoo looks stunned at the order that the horse commander did it.

“You really did? Wow, it's not a reserve mobilization, is it possible to mobilize firefighters? ”

“Ah · · · · · · · · This is a secret. ”

He scratches his cheek, scolding himself.

“Tell me more, it's okay. I'll keep what I hear a secret. ”

Jung, who smiled at Yun Yi Seol's cheerful request, put another word in his mouth.

“If Chief and Lim Woo are in danger at the same time, who should we rescue first? The horse commander said he would be more helpful in an emergency. Of course, more than a useless speechless chief. ”

“Jungwoo? What, you seem like a funny guy, Captain. ”

“You're only funny sometimes. Only occasionally."

Jungwoo rubbed his shoulders, clearing his throat and touching his shoulders as he kept mentioning the strange words of Miles.

“Stop asking questions and call me at home. Be careful of the rain.”

“That's right."

Yoon Lee Seul picked up his phone and pressed the call button. Jungwoo also checked the text from the dinner in the meantime.

[Bro, the window is securely locked. But you're not coming in today? You're going on a date when it rains like this?]

"Would you like to come in? ’

The compound bag I brought for the kiss was still holding in my arms firmly.

Queek.

The rescue car, which was blinking and turning right, suddenly stepped on the brake. Jungwoo grabbed hold of Yoon Lee Seol's body that was being pulled forward.

“Oh, my God. Are you okay? Vehicle got jammed out of sight. ”

Kim Jae-ho, who was looking forward to Im Su-ho's voice, kicked his tongue.

“The low ground is already flooded. We need to see what this thing does. Let's stick to the inside of the car that we got into. ”

Jungwoo glanced over the windshield and almost couldn't see, so he closed his eyes and opened them. The wavelength of the infrared rays revealed that the vehicles were crowded in one place, avoiding the highways of the edges of the water.

“Kim Jae-ho. It's not deep in the water. I think I can handle it with the wheels up. ”

“Is that so?"

Jungwoo nods with a confident face. Kim Jae-ho pointed to the edge without any worries.

“Guard, you heard it, too, right? I meant these instructions. Don't ask, don't ask. Go straight to the void. ”

Im Shu turned without a word. As Jungwoo said, the waterway on the road was shallow. Thanks to this, the car was able to enter the park on its way up the Namsan Tower.

In 10 minutes.

A fire truck on a mountain path with the phrase ’Maintain 20 km an hour' stopped near the octagon of Namsan Tower where the fog was rising.

The door was opened by Jungwoo, who was covered with a waterproof blanket, which was turned on and almost invisible to the visitor.

Shoot him!

Jungwoo points toward the observation deck, his head bowing in the fierce rain.

“Follow me carefully. ”

First, Yoon Il-sun, who was wearing a waterproof blanket, went out with Jungwoo.

“Tsk, tsk. ”

“This way.”

Kim Jae-ho, who was watching the two running in front of the observation deck, said to Jung Pil, who was just about to get off.

“Radio when you're done. ”

“I understand.”

“Don't get too attached without noticing because it's like they're in love. ”

“I understand that too. ”

"Central Fire Departure Site 0807-9-20, Weather Storm. Rainfall. Immersion. Immersion.

Milesu was facing a comprehensive situation board in the 119 Situation Room, where the alarm bells kept ringing.

Only dozens of complaints have been filed in 30 minutes since it rained. If I don't care about the allocation of mobiles, I can't save anyone who will miss the Golden Time, and I waste my time on people who don't need to save them.

- 119 Center. Yes, Reporter. There's water in the house?

You mean the roads are flooded and the vehicles are out of water?

- The sign fell in the rain and someone got hurt? Yes, ma'am.

If this is a report focused only on the Central Fire Station, they will call for backup from another station, but the other center, which is expected to be working as usual, is probably a hell of a lot more than here.

Jiaying.

The number of miles on Jungwoo's phone that he had been waiting for pressed the call button quickly.

“Yes, Jungwoo. Are you there?”

- We're looking at it from the observation deck, but we should be able to figure out how long it's going to rain per hour.

“Can you tell when the rain stops? ”

Calculate the amount of water in the clouds and the rate at which it will spill. Oh, not exactly.

I don't know how, but if I could figure out the time, I could take advantage of a tremendous structural advantage.

“How much do you know about the neighborhood? ”

- Five kilometers from here? I don't think we're gonna make it to the other side.

“Really? Mr. Index. Bring up the map!”

Miles, who saw the map on the situation monitor, imagined a big circle in the center of Seoul based on Namsan. Areas where people can be distributed by predicting rain damage. The area was wide enough to offer seven fire stations around it, including the Central Fire Station.

“Okay. We're ready to record. Let me know what you can. ”

Namsan Tower Observatory.

Jungwoo opened the laptop connected to the Wi-Fi in the cafe downstairs and clicked on the map on the portal site. Then I turned my eyes to downtown Seoul, covered in rain clouds.

“From the Middle East to the Fire Market. 180mm. 10: 45. 210 mm from Guanghuemun Range to Dongdaemun Station. 10: 55. ”

Yoon Il-sul came to the side of Jungwoo, who was busy, to call the number or divide by the area and held up his cell phone instead. Jung thanked me and continued to look over his laptop and window.

During the one stone observation platform with a 360 degree window, there were approximately 50 spots where Jungwoo took a thorough look around Seoul. 130 mm to 350 mm. The deviation was significant as it was an unprecedented local Hou.

“· · Between 1 and 2 Dong Nonhyeon 140mm. I think it will stop around 11 o'clock. I've almost called what I can see. ”

- It's low, but there's too much rain.

“Is there a way? ”

- We have to cut corners and try to avoid secondary damage. Well done.

“Come on, take this. ”

- Well, most people stop at 11: 00. You're not coming back after that?

I looked up at the sky to answer this question.

“I don't know that right now. The lifespan of the clouds is one or two hours, but when the reaction conditions are met, the production and extinction processes are repeated rapidly. ”

- My goal hurts.

- Sir, we have a disaster response team.

Jungwoo, I have to go to the city hall. Tell Jae-ho where to go, and please don't turn off your cell phone. Please.

“I will.”

The long call ended. Jungwoo turned his eyes to Yoon Iseol.

“The rainy night is not as lovely as I thought. ”

“I'm not bad. ”

Yoon Iseol stood there with wet hair for a moment when he got out of the first car and came in here.

“It's more fun to watch Jungwoo work than to see the landscape. ”

“Now? ”

“What if it stops raining in front of my house at 10: 30? How do you know that? ”

“If I'm going to go into detail, I need to stay cool. I think you should stop seeing her today. ”

At the joke of Jungwoo, Yoon Lee Seol suddenly remembered, pointing to a point outside the observation deck.

“I forgot to remember that. It's an apartment complex where my mom, dad, and sister and Kiki live. What time does it stop raining there? ”

“You want me to tell you?”

Yoon Lee Seol nodded up and down a lot.

Jung opened his eyes and looked carefully at the sky above. After observing the scene of chaos, dust stars swept through the clouds collided.

“10: 53: 20. ”

“Yes? That was all 10 minutes ago. ”

“I rounded it up just in case Captain Ma was into me. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

It was when Yoon Yi Seol tried to escape once more because of the lightly thrown laughter. Jungwoo, who was still out of molecular field of view, released a small elastic.

“Wow."

“Why?”

“Lightning Street.”

A long flame that glistens and splits between the clouds and the earth. Naturally, the aftermath of the tremor hit the ground.

“Ugh · ·! ”

Jungwoo's hands appeared in both ears of the startled Yoon Iseol. She shrugged her neck and opened her eyes as she did not hear the sound louder than she thought because of Jungwoo.

“You knew about the lightning bolt? ”

“I was just looking up at the sky at that time. You're lucky. I appreciate the gesture, but it's nothing special. ”

As she looked up at Jungwoo, she asked with an unbelievable face.

“I was watching, but I had no idea. ”

“How soon do you think it's important to know that? ”

“A few seconds would be nice, just like now. ”

“I'll tell you in advance if I know. ”

“Promise · · ·”

“Oh! Lightning. ”

Yoon Iseol, who was furious, blocked his ears. Then for three seconds, I only heard the sound of drops hitting the glass, but the thunder that I had been waiting for did not come.

Yoon Lee Seol glanced at Jung Woo who covered his mouth and laughed.

“Don't make fun of me. I'm serious.”

“Let me know when it stops raining. ”

“That's right. I'll see you after the call. ”

Jungwoo glanced at Yoon Lee Seol, who started the call, and cast his gaze toward the far doppelganger. I couldn't get a good look at the distance.

"I'm sure it's fine. We can't all be flooded because of the hills. ’

While covering up the laptop and putting it in the bag, Yoon Yi Seol lowered his phone.

“My mom. Where do you get a weather forecast that doesn't even appear on TV?" ”

“Do you believe it? ”

“Of course, I said I heard it from someone more accurate than a supercomputer. She thanked me.”

Jungwoo thought that other people in the rain might want to know about this information.

Should I call Archives? No, Captain Ma and Mr. Lee need sophisticated logic. Especially if you want to be on the air. ’

I was not motivated because there was not much way to wrap the molecular field of view. While thinking about it for a moment, Jung saw the lightning strike.

“Mr. Lee Seol. Lightning.”

“Hmph. I don't believe it. ”

However, he was terrified because the light flashed from all around and blocked his ears. Urgh, Jungwoo, who was preparing for the banging, gave me goose bumps in his forearms.

‘Electrical discharge is crazy. If we hit the ground wrong, we'll be in trouble. ’

Jungwoo carried his bag on his back and told Yoon Iseol.

“Take the tarp. Put your mask on. Let's go. ”

“Why don't you share this umbrella? Independently.”

“Maybe they're all wet with their hair down. ”

“I see.”

The two of them walked to the vanguard who was waiting by the observation deck elevator.

“Are you done?”

Jungwoo nodded, and Jung Pil sent a radio to Kim Jae-ho downstairs immediately.

“Sir, we're going down. ”

Cheers.

Jungwoo, you want to ask me where we're going next?

Jungwoo told me about Gangnam, where Yoon Yi Seol's lodging is.

While waiting for the elevator downstairs to come up, Yoon Iseol looked at Jung and Jung alternately.

A trustworthy body and a fire-fighting headline and a cozy body, Jungwoo only looks like a worker. One of the questions I heard while coming here rose in her head.

“Mr. Jung Pil-do, ”

I turned my head while I was nervous about Yoon Yi Seul's call.

“Tell me.”

“About earlier, Why did you call Mr. Jungwoo the commander? ”

“It's because it's cooked in your mouth. I learned how to light a fire when I was a fireman. ”

“Oh, you learned that from Jungwoo? ”

“You're very good with fire. That's how I and Team Leader Jae-ho live so many lives · ·”

Jungwoo swiftly stepped in and snatched the horse as Jung noticed that he was about to talk about a high forest fire.

“I accidentally taught him a few things while I was working on my spraying medication. ”

“Jungwoo's coincidence is not a coincidence. ”

“Phew.”

“Why?”

“Since when did you know me so well? ”

Yoon Lee Seol also looked at Jungwoo, who was trying to pass it on as a joke. This man has no idea what he can do and how far he can go.

“Let's go home and finish talking. What are you so eager to stab · ·"

At that moment, the screen displaying the number of floors of the elevator went blank. Yoon Lee Seol was surprised to see it, so I raised my finger.

The lights of the entire observation deck were temporarily extinguished, with empty, room ringing sound before the action was over. Yoon Lee Seol held Jungwoo's arm tightly to his instinctive fear.

“Jungwoo. ”

“Power outage.”

“Namsan Tower. The rain is really scary today. ”

“It's not just the Namsan Tower. Look out the window."

Yoon Il-sul turned his head to Jungwoo's words and swallowed up his groaning.

Downtown Seoul is raining like a river. The area is slowly turning dark.

"Humor Boards – Stories of the Day .txt"

· · · · · ·

It was exactly 9: 25.

When I got the call, the power in the Situation Room was replaced by a backup generator. I couldn't even explain the feeling of being overwhelmed by it.

A power outage in Seoul. It's just as dangerous as a difficult rescue operation.

Funny thing is, the phone call just dropped significantly. Several base stations are paralyzed, and the call volume is increasing rapidly, so the phone barely popped up.

Maybe that's when it started.

The desperate story in the Situation Room is starting to come up with some crazy news that I can't even imagine.

It's about a rescue team and a chemist who were isolated in Namsan Tower.

If you think about it, I'd like to cut through the night, but I have to go to work. If you have any questions about the back story, please comment. I'll write you the next one after work. But I don't know if anybody wants to hear more about it.
