Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 187

I couldn’t answer. No—rather, I didn’t want to.

I’d already seen that thing before, and I didn’t want to say that Baek Ya Lee Ryeo Hyun had died because of my misjudgment back then.

Even if I was awake, they wouldn’t have left me in that state and gone to sleep themselves.

I hurriedly scanned my surroundings and saw Baek Jang Mi and Kang Hyuk collapsed and sleeping right in front of our temporary shelter.
