“”

It had been 72 hours since he last slept, and Seo Jun-Ho barely even talked by now Before, he would occasionally chat with the Frost Queen, but even that had stopped on the fourth day She didn’t try to talk to him much either because she understood the uphill battle he was fighting

“If you’re tired, you can sleep,” Seo Jun-Ho rasped quietly

The Frost Queen shook her head “I am a spirit I do not have the same desires or needs as humans”

“Must be nice” He smiled as he said this, but his voice was envious

“Hold on for a little longer There are only 24 hours left”

He nodded because he didn’t have the energy to reply, but as ti to become more awake
