Gulping down the blood in his mouth, he looked up at Yoon Seoyul, who didn't even so much as flinch at the sudden bite. He curiously narrowed his eyes, trying to understand his intentions.
Cheon Areum pressed his cheek against his cold skin as he whispered in his ear with a breathy voice and his eyes closed, resting for the last moment.
"Take Kim Ryung and go wait at the gate."
"No. You go and wait at the gate."
Yoon Seoyul replied back instantly and seriously.
"Yoon Seoyul!"
Cheon Areum raised his voice as high as he could.
"He's about to collapse! Take him away from me."
"Please."
The last word was almost inaudible, as if he had used all his might in that shout. Cheon Areum's hands unclenched as he pushed him and came face to face with Yoon Seoyul. The once unreadable expression on his face was all he could see.
"I can't. You go wait at the gate. You're not stronger than me."
An arrogant tone, Yoon Seoyul claimed. Cheon Areum broke into a bittersweet smile.
