Sa-young got saved by J when he and his family's house got swallowed by a poison rift. He did not get experimented then and was just living a normal life with his family.
Then J went into the rift and a few months later, he gets kidnapped and got experimented on for a whole year.
Then here is what happened after he awakened. No, he didn't awaken because of the experiments (though, that was the goal of the experimentations).

Was Sayoung experimented twice?
Didn't J save him and bring him to hospital? Was he kidnapped again?
