章 49: For Better, For Worse.

"It is over," Shi said as his hand went through the chest of Ki-tae as blood poured.

The splattered blood on the floor would flow like a stream, with Woojin coughing up blood. He looked a lot different, the will to protect Ki-tae at all cost had advanced his transformation even further.

Shi's hand did not impale Ki-tae but instead, it had impaled Woojin. Shi had all but had enough and clutched his heart from inside.

"A-Yeong, you once asked me a question on why I attacked Master in that cave," Woojin said barely clinging to life. He was clearly in pain.

"It was because if Shi died, your brother would have died as well." Woojin continued. Coughing up blood once more but it was worse than the first time. This wound was fatal but with his heart literally in the hand of Shi, he could not move suddenly nor risk having it pulled out. He noticed the confusion on A-Yeong's face.
