Chapter 8
When the Dawn BreaksLater in the afternoon, Doctor Kim entered into Wendy’s room to take her vital signs and check if there was any movement/improvement for Wendy, but was surprised when he saw the rest of the Red Velvet members sleeping by her bedside; Seulgi and Irene on one side, Yeri and Joy on the other. While he carefully checked to see if all the equipment was in its proper place, Irene and Seulgi had stirred awake, startled at the sight of a man they’ve never seen before, but half calm because they realized he was just the doctor.

“Now, it’s common knowledge that you two are the older ones of the group, so I would like to ask some questions regarding Wendy-sshi.” Doctor Kim said, hoping that they would be able to answer the questions that Yeri and Joy failed to answer.
