Seeing Alex in front of his office Professor Do-Yun invites him to sit down in one unoccupied sofa and started explaining the sudden meeting.
"I'm sorry I called you at your break time, but these two never stop bothering me until I do so." Professor Do-Yun did not bother to address Dr. Martin and his head scientist Professor Vincent by their professional rank even the two is in a higher position than him. He just looks very annoyed at the moment.
Alex feels a little bit confuse with the current situation that he faced. He tries his best to calm himself up and sit down near his trusted supervisor.
"Why do you want to see me?" Alex started to throw the question while his eyes busily take turns to look between Dr. Martin and Professor Vincent. As far as he knows, none of them have a business with him before, so, why the sudden visit?
Dr. Martin clears his throat first before explaining. "Let me just straight to the point, we are here actually to discuss with you about the red meteor medicine."
Alex feel like his heart is skipping a beat after hearing the one sentence. He seems to know where the conversation will lead them, but he just wants to beat around the bush for a while as he remembered the chat with Byung-Hun just a couple of minutes ago.
"Why? Is there something wrong with it? I'm sure Professor Do-Yun has more knowledge and the right person for you to discuss things. He's the one that's leading the team 1 anyway."
"It's not that Alex." Professor Vincent started to butt in. "You know that this research is very important to our organization. Even the whole world is now awaiting the results of this research. The meteors are so precious. We think that is it very shameful to use it to someone that unrelated to the project. We should use the magnificent things within our circle first. This is our blood, sweat and tears work anyway. It also saves our energy and time from explaining things toward normal citizen who will never understand anything if they are volunteering. Don't you agree with that?"
"Don't push him to agree with your opinion. Let him think and do whatever he wanted." Professor Do-Yun voice sound irritated this time.
Professor Vincent takes aback a little. He realizes Do-Yun is not an easy person. Why out his entire junior, Do-Yun is the one that been chosen to manage someone that suitable for this experiment anyway? Luck definitely not on his side. That's why he came in with Dr. Martin. He knows Dr. Martin is not a coward person. That guy will do even the dirtiest things to meet his goal.
As Professor Vincent predicts, Dr. Martin not at all fazed by Do-Yun words and continue the talk with Alex completely ignoring Do-Yun present.
"I don't want to pressure you, but we know the current problem that you're facing right now. You have a sick child back there in the hospital right? Why not you take this opportunity to save your child? If I were you I will not think twice when my child life depends on it."
Alex is still keeping silent but his mind actually fully thinking about all the information that he just heard. He feels the burdened. He doesn't know what to do, whether to take the offer or not? Is he will be a bad father if he declined? How about if he accepts the offer then? Is there a guaranteed that Aaron will wake up?
"We in this organization care about you Alex. We know how much you're trying for your child. We just wanted to help. This is not an easy decision for us too. If anyone knows we have given this special treatment to you we definitely get backlash. That's why we must do this in a careful way." Professor Vincent added.
"Are you sure it's not because no one is volunteering?" Professor Do-Yun ask in a sarcastic way.
Dr. Martin seems fed up with Professor Do-Yun attitude. "Why are you so negative Professor? If you don't like this talking you can go out. This has nothing to do with you anyway."
"Talk a person that begged me before and use my office for his personal reason." Do-Yun clearly not offended.
Seeing the air in the office becomes hotter with the debate Alex finally start talking.
"Actually, I have a doubt about the medicine, but I cannot say that I am never once thinking about volunteering."
"There's nothing to doubt Alex. I saw the progress myself. Just earlier today, the data of the liquid are changed to 95% success rate. It's definitely safe. I swear to you." Professor Vincent is confidence boosting.
"But, as I wanted to believe it, no one has ever tested it. If I agree, my child will be the first one. Who knows what will happen." Alex expresses his concern.
"What's holding you back Alex? This is definitely a golden opportunity for you. Such a concern supposed to not come out if you desperate enough to save your child. I didn't see a father that wanted to try his fullest in here." Dr. Martin tried to persuade in psychology way.
Alex eyes seem bigger than before now because he actually thinks that what Dr. Martin just saying is true.
"Cut the crap right now!" Professor Do-Yun cannot take the nonsense anymore and step in the conversation again. He tries to manage his breathing before talking to Alex. "Alex, don't let this entire thing ingrained inside your mind. Whatever you decide just think it over a thousand times. Just… Go and see Aaron first. Okay?"
Alex nodded his head and headed straight out of the office. After that, Professor Do-Yun with his angry eyes drives out the other two people from his office without any mercy.

::Dr. Martin Office::
After an episode inside Professor Do-Yun office, Dr. Martin and his companion Professor Vincent plan another strategy. They are very sure that Alex has already bitten their bait. Next, they must work on it quickly.
"I confidently say that Alex is already on our side but if Do-Yun keep interfering I am afraid Alex will change his mind." Dr. Martin said his concern.
"So, what are you suggest?" Professor Vincent doesn't know what to think anymore. He just likes being a puppet that follows the Dr. Martin lead. All that he knows that the sooner the experiment been held, the earlier he will get promotion for his work. If everything went smooth that is.
"Let's manipulated this whole situation. We make a letter of approval to use his son as a test, but we don't need to mention it to him. We just need his signature." Dr. Martin gives his idea.
"What do you mean by that? That's definitely breaking the law Martin. It's too risky."
"What? Hey, you said you trust me on this. Believe me. Alex will be so thankful to us after all this over. You saw his face just now. He already agrees in silence. We just need to give him a little push. I bet my life on this medicine. Besides, the entire test subject is not dying immediately because of the medicine. The mouse that dies before took a week before dying and I conduct a test myself that the mouse die because of the illness. Now, the formula is changing and it's already 95% success rate as you see yourself. Alex's son will not die. If the medicine doesn't work, he will just stay like that and nothing change. I believe in my work."
Professor Vincent thinking for a while. "You're sure about this right" Dr. Martin confidently nodded.
"So, what's the next step?" Finally he agrees.
"We need to find someone that he trusts with his entire heart."
