Sunghoon quietly opened the bedroom door, surprised to see Angelica kneeled down next to the bed.

"I'm really, really, really sorry for what I've done. Even though he was a horrible person, no one deserves to get their life taken away. I had no right to take his life away." She cried softly as she laid her head against her clasped hands.

He sympathetically stared at her from the door as he saw her shoulders shake.

He looked down at his watch and he was surprised that it was already 4am.

To make her notice he was in the room, he closed the door behind him, making her raise her head to look at him.

She diligently wiped her tears and smiled sadly at him.

"Did you have another one?"

Angelica nodded tiredly as she sat down on the bed.

After what had happened, she would get nightmares sometimes. They weren't constant but they still happened.

Her conscience was eating at her so much, that what she did continuously repeated in her dreams.

It weighted especially hard on her, since she still feels no ounce of regret.

"It wasn't that-"

She suddenly stood from the bed and practically sprinted towards the bathroom.

She kneeled in front of the toilet and hurled up all the content that she had thrown in her stomach a few hours before.

Sunghoon quickly followed after her and held her hair away from her face with one hand, as he gently rubbed her back with the other.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" He asked softly after she was finished, as he helped her stand up.

She shook her head and flushed the toilet, walking towards the sink to brush her teeth.

"Are you sure?" He asked again, watching her as she grabbed some mouth wash.

"It's only been a few days. I'm sure it's just food poisoning or something."

She made her way back to the room as she tightly got under the covers.

She was shivering as she felt colder than usual, guessing she had a fever.

"You haven't slept at all?" He questioned as he leaned against the bathroom doorway.

She shook her head slowly.

"My stomach wasn't feeling good so I couldn't sleep."

Sunghoon felt bad for leaving her alone when he had noticed she felt sick.

She was pale and was already walking sluggishly before he left.

On top of that, he felt she would have been able to sleep better if he had been there to comfort her after that nightmare.

He gazed at her as her puffy eyes were starting to close by themselves and she soon fell asleep.

Snow was starting to fall softly as Sunghoon and Jake made their way back home from work.

Sunghoon only slept for two hours before he had to get up.

Angelica kept feeling sick throughout the early morning making both of them lose all their sleep.

Even though Sunghoon tried convincing her to stay home, she still went to work.

I wonder if she feels any better.

"I think we should change our plan."

Jake turned his head at Sunghoon's sudden statement.
