The first bolt struck Eun-woo on his shoulder, ripping through his meridians, and slammed into the ground beneath him. His body jerked under the assault, but he didn't dare move or cry out. The pain was piercing, and his mouth tasted like copper coins, but he endured it. This was only the beginning.
He grit his teeth as the next bolt came crushing down, its sparks singing with its inhuman speed. His body sizzled with smoke as strike after strike came down. As he waited for the sixth bolt to come down, he heard a voice amidst the chaos. It was a voice he could recognize even in his sleep. Han Seo-yoon.
But it wasn't the usual soft, carefree tone of voice he was used to hearing. No. It sounded sharper, meaner, accusatory. "How could you betray me like this?" the voice spoke.
Eun-woo frowned. What do you mean? How have I betrayed you?
"The feelings you feel for me? I saw you as a teacher, a friend, a brother? How could you betray my trust like this?"
