Crescent opened the door to her bedroom, eager to see Jaebum; he had left a note in the painting room saying that he dropped by while she was gone. But hours ticked by and there was no signs of him returning or movement in the next room. It was almost midnight, and Crescent was beginning to get worried. Jaebum has not missed a night since she arrived here. She walked up and opened her side of the door, and knocked on the door briefly before pushing on door to his side, “Jaebum?” She whispered softly into the darken room, only a small besides shining dim golden light onto a sleeping figure. “Jaebum?” She says again this time a little louder.

This time Jaebum moves and sits up looking slightly confused, his eyes narrow when he spots Crescent in the doorway. “Go away.” He says harshly.

Crescent remembers a remedy that Gerald used to use whenever she got a cold when she was younger that consisted of hot red tea with honey and a lot of lemon. She got up and decided to go sneak into the kitchen.

‘Don’t go.”

Crescent turns back, “Jaebum?” But he was still asleep, he was probably dreaming. Crescent wondered if he was having a bad dream, his brow furrowed up. Crescent smiled and she reaches out to smooth the lines on his forehead.
