The alarm clock was ringing, it was 3:00 AM. Byul set it off, and got up with caution to not wake up Whee In, who was sleeping by her side. Since she wife died, she has been sleeping with her daughter. Before leaving, she saw her daughter blanket were off, she tucked her in and gave a little kiss in her forehead.
