Winter woke up with a terrible headache. After an unexpected revelation of Karina's wrongdoings, she didn't even bother to finish the remaining hours that she had for classes. The younger left the university and walked home with tears in her eyes.

She spent the rest of the night bawling her eyes out. Her parents have been knocking on her bedroom door continuously but Winter didn't even budge.
