Twenty Eight Degrees

Description

Male, 31 years old, severe hypothermia, cause unknown. 

Breaking: Viral outbreak in Lab 32, South Korea's leading research laboratory. 

Foreword

  

 

Hello!

I'm super excited to share 28°C with you all. I see it stylized as that, 28°C, but AFF works better with words in the title, which is why I spelled it out. 

This is an old story idea that I'm now motivated to write, so we're doing this, dammit. 

Also, this is my end of a challenge to -Tigress- with the prompt "Body Temperature". Do read her end (To The Dawn) as well. 

28°C contains a lot of medical blabber and a lot of medical terms. I urge you strongly to read the author's note at the beginning of the story so you don't get too confused (unless, of course, you have a lot of medical knowledge).

Be aware that I have taken fictional liberties with the medicine in this fic, although I do try to stay as realistic as possible. (Also, I have taken other fictional liberties as well, lmao).

For American readers, 28°C equals 82°F LOL. 


I hope you enjoy! Comments and feedback are welcome. Honestly, I would love feedback!


(Also, in lieu of the joyous news I just want to point out that Jongdae, in this fic, is straight. If you have any reservations about reading stories about him in ships, don't worry - you can still read this story - yay!)



// Yours truly
Kim Minji

Chapter 10: I am so glad that Minseok recovered and Jongdae finally got his justice... It is just sad to know two people paid with their life in this complication. Minseok is so to have Chanyeol, Baekhyun and Sookyung in his life <3 Thank you sharing this story!! This is really good!!

Chapter 10: Chanyeol is so strong. I admire the determination and love. He trusted Jongdae, even without the confirmation he risked everything by injecting the anti-virus. But Atleast it all ended well!

Chapter 5: LMAO I almost fell off my chair xD Sounds like Chanyeol got good news from Baekhyun and was growing jolly because of it but then I imagine Sookyung being super deadpan about calling them idiots XD I miss Minseok three! I could feel Sookyung's love for Minseok in this chapter. She and Minseok were really good friends too~ Junghwa is dead T_T Junghwa's case is suspicious. Too bad she didn't live to see 26 T_T I love Luhan and Chanyeol's moments haha. And yes, Chanyeol has been doing things, illegal but good things Sehee.

Chapter 4: The emptiness without Minseok T_T Poor Chanyeol, he misses his Minseokie so bad >_< Chanyeol punched Baekhyun for lying and that made me so happy xD Sookyung deserves all the credit in the world <3 Did Yixing almost introduce Chanyeol as his boyfriend? xD T_T Even the apartment misses Minseok. GO CHANYEOL! FIND THAT TERRORIST AND THE CURE! Yesssss Baekhyun! Gah, I need a best friend like him. One that will keep me in check but will also do illegal things with me when necessary xD I'm also excited to see Chanyeol's super squad kick asses!

Chapter 10: I loved the finale!!
Like towards the end I was a bit in wonder because I wished we would see something about jongdae but the final part just summoned it well. I loved it.

You were so good at conveying the character’s emotions and this story just go with the flow. I really liked the idea and I can see you’ve put so much thought and research into this.

Hope to read beautiful stories like this from you :)

Chapter 3: After re-reading the first half two or three times, I finally got the chance to finish the whole chapter heh heh xD Minseok isn't getting better and Chanyeol is understandably impatient. Good thing Chanyeol thought of Lab 32. Too bad he had to disturb Baekhyun and Sookyung's date though xD I also love how grounded Sookyung is, though she's less caring then when Minseok first fell ill >_< Sehee is seriously a sweetheart <3 Like if I were ever sick or dying in the hospital, I'd want a nurse like her to look after me muhahaha. I want to know who the man in black suit is too! And what this unknown virus is. Can't wait to find out <333 If only I wasn't such a lazy but normal reader, I'd have the answer by now T_T
