Chapter Thirty

Because of what happened last night, you didn’t get enough sleep. You told yourself that you will sleep when you reached home but you didn’t. Instead, you cooked a cup of ramyun and watched the morning news. You slurped your noodles when your phone rang.

You reached for it and answered without looking it is the one calling. “Hello?”

“Rupunzel, Rupunzel, let down your hair.”
