You slowly began to stir awake as your eyelids slightly fluttered open.. and as your hand reached out to feel your girlfriend’s presence.. it was empty

Turning over to your side, you took in the sight of No-eul sitting up at the edge of the bed, glancing down at her lap

The sheets rustled beneath your weight as you made your way over to her.. which suddenly made her aware of your conscious state so she quickly wiped away her tear-streaked cheeks before looking over at you with a slight apologetic look “sorry.. I just..” She murmured, and as you glanced down at her lap, you saw a picture of her daughter in her hands.
