Kong Yuhan held a pill inside a pill tester. The fog slowly rose up from the bottom of the glass and started going upwards.
Everyone in the room watched as the fog reached the number 16. They watched with bated breaths as the fog slowly rose up to the number 17.
"Go up. Go up," they slowly chanted wanting the pill fog to keep on going up.
18.
"Just 2 more. Go. Go." Kong Yuhan was full of sweat watching it.
19.
"Just once more," Kong Yuahn shouted with his voice full of hope. Alas, the fog didn't rise up.
"No!!! I was so close." Kong Yuhan got dejected. This was his third try at making the pill. The second one had ended up being an 18% harmony pill, so he had wished to make this one have 20% harmony. But his wish remained just that, a wish.
"Alright, I will surely make the next one be it." He got back to making the pill once more without anyone's encouragement.
