Chapter 16: Bound to Break
Eun-woo fell asleep a few minutes after apologizing. It was as if all his energy had drained from him after he’d pounded on the window in a frenzy.
Rong Ye claimed the outburst was due to him not being accustomed to the environment, especially the cold outside. Eun-woo’s body was frozen, and he assumed that if he was given more heat, he would recover, and in a way, he did.
Most of the blankets were wrapped around Eun-woo’s body. He was wearing several pairs of socks to even out the temperature in his feet, and Caelan had to fix the heater to raise the temperature of the room.
Eun-woo slept with a rare, quiet serenity. The calm on his face was enough to ease everyone’s nerves.

"Eun-woo wouldn’t do that."
