Chapter 90
Damned Angel“Is everything okay?”, Seongwoo asked. He was no longer on the bed with me. "What exactly were you doing in bed with me? You don’t sleep", I said. "Oh well, that, uhm, you see... your body was cold, too cold, way below the norm”, he used his hands to gesture awkwardly, “I covered you up as much as I could, but your temperature wasn't rising. I got in next to you, so I could... well so I could… hold you”, he let out a heavy breath, “Angels have a way or radiating heat or coolness when they need to. That’s the only reason I did it.
