"Well...

At least you're not dead."

Nahyun looked at me guiltily.

Sungwon glared at his sister.

"You can't say that.

We brought her into this."

The room was crowded.

More people had gotten hurt that we thought.

The body count was at sixty three.

Sixty seven.

Seventy four.

It kept going.

Well, she was right.

I wasn't dead, at least.

So many people had gotten worse.

"Look.

It's him."

Sungwon was looking at the entrance, disgusted.

The president.

Looking around the room, his eyes became watery.

A camera crew followed him in.

"Crocodile tears."

Nahyun hissed.

He was going around shaking hands.

He talked to the victims.

"This er declared war on us, and he walks in here crying.

Un-ing-believable."

Sungwon drew the curtains around the bed with a loud snap.

The April Revolution:

On April 19, thousands of students and professors marched to the Blue House in peaceful protest against Rhee Syngman's presidency. 
On the same day, the Rhee administration declared martial war against their people to suppress the demonstrations.
Rhee Syngman would resign on April 26, and go into exile.
(Former) Vice president Lee KiPoong and his entire family committed suicide the day after Rhee's resignation.
Minister of Interior Choi Inkyu and the Chief of Security resigned after taking responsibility for the murder of Kim Juyul (chapter 12), which had sparked the April Revolution.
