Chapter 65: Fractures in the Thread
"I don’t know..." she said, sitting on the floor. "The things I see are so fractured—I don’t know what will happen and what won’t."
She rested her back against the wall, then faced Min-ho.
"Most times, I just take a guess and pray for the best," she said, smiling still.
Min-ho lowered his gaze and balled his fist.
"We should..." Sae-wee tried to get up, but ended up crumbling to the ground.
"Sae-wee," Min-ho said, rushing to his knees and helping her up.
She looked deathly pale—like every drop of blood in her body had been sucked dry.
"You should rest," he said, leaning her against the wall.
She shook her head. "No... no, we need to keep—"
"You need to rest," Min-ho said, unwilling to take no for an answer.
Sae-wee paused for a moment, then reluctantly obeyed.
