An Angel's TearI want to keep you by my side forever.
It was a room of white that Jiyoon was sure that wasn't her room. Her apartment was old and dingy, certainly far from white. The window was wide open and the curtains billow, dancing in the gentle breeze. Her apartment was dark and musty and the most important thing was.
