Wooyoung lay on his bed with the pea plush he got from work beside him. He kept shivering even though his blanket was covering him from head to toe. Although he wanted to get out from his bed, his body would not let him. Neither will his body let him sleep.

Wooyoung’s point of view:

Urgh, I feel horrible and weak all over… Oh God, it’s almost sunset. I’ve wasted so much time and yet I’m not able to utilize whatever time I have left.

“But that would make your submission late, right? Is the problem that important to have to sacrifice this competition?”

“I’ve been selfish but I know that if I don’t face this problem, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. That’s for sure.”

“Ah. Okay, I understand, Taeyeon.”

“I’m truly sorry and I’m grateful for all your help!” Taeyeon said with a deep bow.

“It’s okay. Being true to your feelings – I see nothing wrong with that. As what you’ve said, not having any regrets is most important. Good luck with your problem, and I hope you find the solution you’ve been looking for.”

“Thank you, sunbae-nim! I’ll be
