Mark slipped out of his sister's room to see Ten and Rosa in the halls, waiting for him. They both had concerned looks on their faces, and he tried not to sigh as he already knew what the question would be.

"She's sleeping." Mark told them. "The sleeping pills are working, but she's still... I don't think she's okay."
"I'm not surprised." Ten muttered as Rosa shook her head.
"She's going to need time." Rosa told him. "Jungwoo meant everything to her."

Grace had no idea how many days had passed as she laid there in her bed, staring at the black wall. She felt like her soul had been sucked out of her, finding her life pointless.
While locked up in her room, she decided to write her will, knowing that life was a precious thing that could slip out of their hands at any second now. She had no idea if anyone would ever read it, but at least it would be there if someone did.
One of the worst feelings she had encountered was the loneliness she felt while lying alone in the bed, missing the feeling of Jungwoo's arms wrapped around her. It was the safest feeling in the world and without it, she felt vulnerable, as if someone was out to get her at any time of the day.
