PREVIOUSLY.
TO GET THE COURAGE TO FINALLY ASK HUIJIN OUT...
...SUCHAN CONSUMED A RARE MUSHROOM...
...NOT KNOWING THAT AN UNKNOWN SIDE EFFECT...
...WOULD MAKE HIM EXCESSIVELY ENERGETIC.
AND THAT EVENING...
WHAT THE HELL...?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BODY?!
I CAN'T CALM DOWN AT ALL FOR SOME REASON.
AND WHY IS EVERY GIRL I MEET TODAY...
DID YOU HEAR, SUCHAN? HANSEONG WILL BE RELEASED SOON!
P-PLEASE GET OFF ME...
SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE.
I-IT'S OKAY.
...GETTING PHYSICALLY TOO CLOSE?!
I CAN'T HELP IT. I'D BETTER RETURN TO MY ROOM NOW.
I HOPE I DON'T RUN INTO ANYONE ELSE TODAY...
IF I SEE HUIJIN IN THIS STATE...
...I'LL BE SCREWED--
I DIDN'T GET TO SEE SUCHAN YET,
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE CLASSES TOGETHER TODAY...
AND THE GYM SHOWERS ARE FULL...
MAYBE I SHOULD ASK IF HE WANTS TO MEET.
I MISS HIM SO MUCH ALREADY--
HUH?
WHOA, HI, SUCHAN!
THIS CLEARLY MADE HER DAY
WERE YOU REALLY WAITING FOR MY CLASS TO END?
OH, SORRY. MAYBE I GOT TOO CLOSE.
I PROBABLY STINK RIGHT NOW... I WAS SWEATING SO MUCH.
I'M GONNA TAKE A QUICK SHOWER IN MY ROOM. WANNA GO EAT--
A LARGE ENOUGH TENT
I'M...
...NOT FEELING WELL! I'LL SEE YOU LATER!
YOU CAN'T BREAK THINGS!
SUCHAN!
COULD...
...I HAVE CAUSED THAT...?!
THAT...?!
THE NEXT DAY, AT THE DORM
F.M.L.
IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR THREE DAYS.
I MUST HAVE BECOME THE AVATAR OF LUST.
I AM BEYOND SALVATION NOW.
UGH, AND THIS FEVER...!
JUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BODY...?
ARE THE DRAGONFLIES WITHIN ME THROWING A TANTRUM AGAIN?
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE MUSHROOM YOU ATE.
HMM.
ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T EXPECT THINGS TO BE... THIS EXTREME.
AAACK?! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
THROUGH THE WINDOW.
I DIDN'T KNOCK BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE AN EMERGENCY.
TAKE THIS ANTIDOTE.
WE'RE STILL TESTING IT, BUT IT SHOULD CURE YOUR CONDITION BY THE END OF THE DAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SAN!!
THANK SONGHA. HE'S THE ONE WHO TOLD ME ABOUT IT.
BUT DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.
NORMALLY, THE MUSHROOM'S SIDE EFFECTS LAST ABOUT A WEEK.
BUT THE ANTIDOTE SUPPOSEDLY MAKES THE SYMPTOMS SHORTER-LIVED, BUT MORE INTENSE.
IT WILL GO AWAY FOR GOOD BY THE END OF THE DAY...
...AFTER YOU SUFFER MUCH MORE SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS.
WHAT...?
I'LL BE ON MY WAY THEN, BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING FUNNY TO ME.
I HOPE I DON'T SEE YOU BEHIND BARS.
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME BEFORE I TOOK IT!
UGH... WHATEVER.
I JUST NEED TO ENDURE IT FOR ONE DAY.
JUST TODAY.
IF NOTHING HAPPENS TODAY... I'LL BE ALL SET.
DING-DONG
UGH, WHO IS IT, AND WHY NOW...?
DING-DONG
I'M JUST GONNA PRETEND I'M NOT HERE.
WAIT. THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED.
LOCK THE DAMN DOOR, HYESEONG!
ARE YOU ALRIGHT, SUCHAN?
I DIDN'T SEE YOU IN CLASS, AND HYESEONG SAID YOU LOOKED SICK.
I HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO, SO I STOPPED BY TO DROP OFF SOME MEDICATION.
OH. TH-THANKS...
I HAVE NO CHOICE. I’LL JUST NOT GET UP...
YOU CAN JUST PUT IT THERE AND GO BEFORE YOU GET SICK TOO...
THIS IS BAD. THE ANTIDOTE REALLY MADE IT WORSE...!
I CAN’T...
WHAT THE. YOU’RE SWEATING SO MUCH, DUDE.
ARE YOU SURE THIS IS JUST A COLD?
AND YOU'RE BURNING...! UHM, DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?
JUST SAY THE WORD--
NO...!
I REALLY CAN'T...!
WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!
PLEASE DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA AND HEAR ME OUT.
I DON'T HAVE A COLD. I ACTUALLY ATE THIS WEIRD MUSHROOM.
AND I'VE BEEN THIS WAY... FOR A FEW DAYS NOW.
I TOOK THE ANTIDOTE, BUT I'LL BE LIKE THIS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
IT'S REALLY NOT SAFE... FOR ANYONE TO TOUCH ME RIGHT NOW.
SO PLEASE DO ME A HUGE FAVOR AND LEAVE ME ALONE, BOM.
I'M DOING MY BEST TO HOLD IT IN,
BUT IT'S QUITE DIFFICULT.
UHM, WELL.
Y-YOU DON'T REALLY...
...HAVE TO HOLD IT IN.
I MEAN, YOU'VE DONE... SO MUCH FOR ME.
IF YOU REALLY CAN'T HELP IT...
...I WON'T SAY NO...
MMPH...
I AM TERRIBLY SORRY...
...BUT I CAN'T DO THAT TO MY FRIEND.
ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M DATING HUIJIN.
I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT, BUT I'M REALLY SORRY.
NOW YOU'RE GETTING THE WRONG IDEA! I WAS JUST TRYING TO RETURN THE FAVOR!
WHY DID YOU EVEN EXPLAIN YOUR CONDITION IF YOU COULD ACTUALLY HOLD IT IN?!
SORRY!!
I GET IT. YOU SHOULD STAY ALONE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
I'LL TELL OTHERS NOT TO VISIT BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE CONTAGIOUS.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING ANYWHERE.
THANK YOU, BOM.
I THOUGHT SHE HAD FEELINGS FOR ME... WHEW.
I SUPPOSE THAT'S A RELIEF...
UGH, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE...
LORS
...BUT IT'S PROBABLY A BETTER IDEA...
I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WEIRD WITH SUCHAN TODAY...
SUCHAN? HE CAN'T GET RID OF THE ERECTION DUE TO THE MUSHROOM'S SIDE EFFECTS. YOU SHOULD LEAVE HIM BE.
WH-WHAT?!
...BUT I HAD NO IDEA THE MUSHROOM FROM BEFORE WAS GIVING HIM SUCH A HARD TIME...!
HUH?
I THOUGHT I SAW SOMEONE THERE.
MAYBE I'M IMAGINING THINGS.
I GET IT.
IT WAS SHE WHO SAVED HIM FIRST.
BUT...
BOM? WHAT THE.
THIS IS THE MEN'S DORM--
!!
I KNOW THAT!
I'M ON MY WAY OUT. LEAVE ME ALONE.
... I WAS THINKING ABOUT HAVING A BEER.
I COULD BUY YOU A DRINK IF YOU WANT.
...OKAY.
LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR.
DO NOT VISIT SUCHAN EVEN IF YOU'RE WORRIED.
HE WILL LOSE CONTROL AND GO CRAZY ONCE THE SIDE EFFECT INTENSIFIES.
HE WON'T BE ABLE TO CALM DOWN.
STILL...
...I CAN’T JUST LEAVE SUCHAN LIKE THAT, WHEN HE’S STRUGGLING.
I WILL HELP HIM.
BECAUSE HE’S MY BOYFRIEND!
OH, HI, HUIJIN.
DID YOU HEAR FROM OTHERS THAT I WAS SICK?
I’M FINE, NOW.
SAN’S ANTIDOTE WORKED LIKE A CHARM. THE SYMPTOMS WERE GONE IN AN HOUR.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO HAVE SOME INSTANT NOODLES. DO YOU WANT SOME?
UNGH...
AFTER ALL I'VE GONE THROUGH TO PREPARE MYSELF...
HUH?
H-HUIJIN?!
I CAME... ABSOLUTELY READY TODAY!
YOU'RE STILL SICK, SUCHAN.
OKAY?!
H-HOLD ON, HUIJIN!
NOT THERE...
AH...
Jungle Juice Chapter 224 follows Suchan as he endures severe arousal and fever from a rare mushroom he ate for courage. San slips through his window with a test antidote he learned about from Songha that will intensify symptoms before curing him that day. Suchan confesses his condition to Bom and refuses her offer out of loyalty to Huijin, while Huijin learns of his struggle and resolves to help him as his girlfriend.
