Chapter 38
Eunji disappeared, and I drifted back into sleep.
In this strange space, all I ever seemed to do was sleep endlessly.
At this rate, wouldn’t I just die before even fulfilling Eunji’s wish?
Ah, well... if that happened, there was nothing I could do about it.
If Eunji heard me say something like that, she’d probably scream at me to get up immediately. But that was my last coherent thought before my hazy mind started to regain clarity.
Faint shadows flickered before my closed eyes. My eyelids felt unbearably heavy, impossible to lift all at once. Instead, I focused on moving my fingers, managing only the slightest twitch.
Even that small movement sent a shock of pain rippling through my body.
A sharp gasp escaped me.
An unexpected, searing pain clawed through my entire being.
Was this hell? Had I fallen into some fiery inferno? Was that why my whole body burned like this?
Every inch of me ached. The more I moved, the worse it got, yet the pain itself made me move instinctively. My limbs twisted as I gasped for air. My mind was blank, but agony drilled through me, unearthing every bit of suffering my body had endured from the fall—pain I hadn’t even registered at the time.
