Bab 173: Gayoon's Story (9)

"Your eyes look hideous," Jaewan noted. They were having lunch at the cafeteria and Gayoon looked as if she had not slept for days. Dark circles formed beneath her eyes and she looked as if she would fall asleep any moment.

"I haven't slept for days," she said with a yawn. "Exams are around the corner."

And the ghost of a bloody opera singer has been singing like a banshee every night, she added in her mind. Sooyeon's ghost had been arriving at her room every night, insisting on making Gayoon listen to her 'songs'. Turned out, she was a terrible singer and also tone deaf. Gayoon felt like ripping her ears off and throwing them at her just to make her stop. 

She slumped on the table, exhausted. Jaewan frowned at her state. He could tell that there was something more to the story but he did not comment on it. Gayoon snoozed while he finished his lunch and stood up to throw his cartons away.
