Isabelle woke up frantically to the sound of her alarm clock ringing after pulling an all-nighter the night before. She was quick to hit the snooze button again and again until she finally gave in. Isabelle was never a morning kind of person, she usually wakes up in the afternoon. Plus the jetlag made her feel even worse. She woke up half asleep staring blankly and the mold on her wall slightly regretting her choice. "I should have resisted more, why did I get persuaded so easily to come here..." she thought to herself. The sun has yet to rise in Macau but people here are already leaving for work. Isabelle opened her windows to get in some fresh air, she had made herself a cup of coffee to wake herself up from her sleepiness. At 6:00 a.m., she was ready to leave for her first mission: go to the bar Han Seo worked at. She had chosen an all black outfit pairing with a black baseball cap in order not to stand out in the crowd of people.

Isabelle arrived at the bar where Han Seo worked at. She had no luck finding him there, but 1 of the workers had told her his address. She arrived to an apartment building. The place was in terrible shape with people coming in and out of the building. This was what people called a coffin home, a place the poorest people live, in this expensive city where rent is crazy high. She took the stairs up to the 5th floor where Han Seo's room was located, Room 520.

Isabelle knocked on the door of room 520, but surprisingly the door was not locked. She peeked through the creek of the door. She saw a man sleeping in the middle of the messy room. He face was really pale and he was sweating profusely. "It's him, it's Han Seo" thought Isabelle.

Isabelle was about to leave trying not to disturb the man from his sleep but she heard crying and whimpering followed by loud screaming

Isabelle was about to leave trying not to disturb the man from his sleep but she heard crying and whimpering followed by loud screaming. Alarmed, she ran into the room to check if the man was fine. He was having a nightmare. "Please... don't go..." Han Seo said in his sleep while holding Isabelle's wrist. Isabelle touched his forehead, his forehead was burning. Isabelle knew she couldn't leave him here like that, she released his grip and went to look for a cloth. The room was so messy it took her a while to find a cloth. She then damped the cloth in water and placed the wet clothed on his forehead. She sat there by his side quietly, slowly nursing him back to health.
