[02: STUCK AGAINST ONCES WILL : TRUTH]

Sunghoon grabbed Cheonsas' hand and looked at her. "You took my powers!" He yelled. "Oh here we go." Jake sighed. "I didn't do anything!" Cheonsa defended. "The explain this!" Sunghoon demanded. "I would, but I can't. Cheonsa said, snatching her hand away, "I don't even understand what's going on." Sunghoon grabbed her hand again and snapped his fingers, making a glass of water float.

"They still work... you just don't have them. It's no big deal." Yunjin said. Jake covered her mouth. "No big deal?! What do you mean no big-" Sunghoon sighed. Cheonsa stared at him in fear. Jake mentally face palmed. "Let me go." Cheonsa said, snatching her hand away. Sunghoon didn't let go, he just snapped his fingers causing his book to appear.

He flipped through the pages and groaned. "Nothing?! Seriously nothing?!" He threw the book down and put his hand on his forehead. Jake looked at Cheonsa, "he's taking anger management-" "Shut up Jake!" Sunghoon said, "Get her home safely." He let go of Cheonsas' hand. "You're leaving me with this?!" Cheonsa asked. "I'll see you tomorrow." Sunghoon said, walking to his office. Cheonsa dropped her arms in defeat.

"I was worried sick!" Niki said. "I know I'm sorry. I was just so tired and I got drenched In rain. It slipped my mind." Cheonsa said. "Don't worry me like that again." Niki said. "I won't. I promise. I'll talk to you later, yeah?" Cheonsa smiled. "Alright. Goodnight." Niki said, before hanging up.

Cheonsa sighed and stared at her hand. "How did this even happen?" She thought out-loud.

Sunghoon grabbed Cheonsa's' hand and snapped his fingers, yet, his powers didn't work. "Not this shit again." He groaned.

"Could that be it?" She thought.

Sunghoon frantically looked through the books for an answer. "Sir, I really think you should relax." Jake said softly. "Yeah I've never seen you so stressed." Yunjin said. "A random teenage girl has the source of all evil on the dorsal side of her hand!" Sunghoon said, flipping through the pages. "When a demon takes interest in... bullshit!" He scoffed.

"Let me see that!" Yunjin demanded. "When a demon takes interest in a human their powers can often transfer or flicker... interest in a human..?" Yunjin asked. "Like I said, it's false information." Sunghoon said, taking the book and placing it back on the shelf. "Sunghoon, could it be that you take interest in that girl?" Jake asked. "No." Sunghoon replied instantly.

Yunjin narrowed her eyes, "I'm going home." Jake nodded. Once Yunjin left Sunghoon grabbed Jake by the collar. "I want you to find everything you can on that girl. I need all the information you can get by tomorrow morning. Capiche?" He asked. Jake nodded aggressively. Sunghoon smiled and pat his shoulder, "I knew I could count on you."

"Are you sure you're feeling okay?" Niki asked. Cheonsa just stared at the assignment in front of her. "Cheonsa?" "I'm fine." Cheonsa said. Niki nodded slowly. "You know you can talk to me." "I'm just tired." Cheonsa reassured. "Alright..." Niki shrugged.

Just then Sunghoon walked in the classroom. "Oh no no no." Cheonsa thought, hiding her face. Everyone began to whisper and giggle. "Cheonsa," Sunghoon said. His voice boomed through the classroom. Cheonsa slid down her seat and under the desk.

"I see you. Come on." Sunghoon said sternly. "Who is Cheonsa?" Cheonsa asked, looking around. Sunghoon glared at her. Cheonsa sighed and grabbed her things, following Sunghoon out.

"What do you want?" She asked. "I need to make a deal." Sunghoon said, grabbing her hand. "While I'm at school?!" Cheonsa whisper yelled, looking around to make sure no one was there. "Yes. And you're going to have to get used to it because you have my powers." Sunghoon said. Cheonsa sighed and squeezed his hand, "Let's get this over with." Sunghoons' heart skipped a beat. "Let's go." Cheonsa said. Sunghoon snapped his fingers.

Cheonsa let out a blood curling scream and clung onto Sunghoon. "Why are we on a rooftop?!" She yelled. Sunghoon moved her hand in annoyance, "This is how I find pathetic and greedy humans to make deals with." Cheonsa leaned against the wall and started panicking, "I can't be this high up." "It's not like I'm going to push you." Sunghoon said. 

Cheonsas' legs became wobbly and she held onto the wall for support. Sunghoon sighed and picked her up. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Dropping you." Sunghoon replied. Cheonsa clung onto him, "I can't die yet! I have so much to live for!" She panicked. Sunghoon smirked and dropped her.

Cheonsa screamed until she realized she was against a wall. Sunghoon was standing in front of her. "Why would I kill you when you have this?" Sunghoon asked, grabbing her hand. Cheonsa looked at him, stunned. "You're a terrible person." She said. "Thank you!" Sunghoon smiled sarcastically.

"Where are we?" Cheonsa asked. Sunghoon pointed to an old man chopping up some lettuce. "This man has been in business for years. But lately there hasn't been much business." He said. "You're willing to make a deal like that with an old man." Cheonsa asked. "I put him in business for 10 years, he shuts down the company when he's supposed to or he's destined to hell." Sunghoon shrugged. "Wait, why not make a deal with a bad person?" Cheonsa asked. "Why does it matter?" Sunghoon asked.

Cheonsa snatched her hand away, "I'm not letting you." "Cheonsa don't be stubborn. Honestly he's so old making this deal will probably give him extra years." Sunghoon said.

Cheonsa folded her arms. Sunghoon grabbed her hand and dragged her to the man. "I can make your business better than ever be- Cheonsa." Sunghoon groaned, reaching for her hand. Cheonsa stepped back. "You're getting in my way!" Sunghoon yelled before his hand started to feel hot. He looked down and saw it was turning red and black. "I'm burning... Cheonsa I'm serious." Sunghoon nearly begged.

Cheonsa sighed and held his hand. Sunghoons breath hitched and he sighed. "A can make your business better than before." Sunghoon said pulling out a stop watch, "If you give me something in return."

"Why did Park Sunghoon pull you out of class?" Niki asked. "It was about the ice skating thing." Cheonsa lied. Niki nodded, "Are you excited for auditions today?" "Meh." Cheonsa replied. "Well I am." Niki smiled. Cheonsa smiled seeing him smile.

"Cheonsa." Sunghoon said. "Nuh uh I already missed enough school." She said. Niki stared in confusion. "Didn't you just get out?" Sunghoon asked. Cheonsa sighed in defeat. "Since you an your friend are auditioning, why don't you guys just come with me?" Sunghoon asked. Niki looked at Cheonsa, "No way you're gonna pass up on this." "I am. I'm not getting in the car with him." Cheonsa said.

"Well I am." Niki shrugged, giving Sunghoon a high five. Sunghoon smiled and pat his back. "Your friend is much cooler than you." He said. "You following me around will give people the wrong idea." Cheonsa sighed. "Why care what others think?" Sunghoon asked. "I..." "Come on." Sunghoon said, grabbing her hand and dragging her to the car.

Cheonsa yanked her hand away and tripped over a crack in the sidewalk. Sunghoon caught her immediately and looked at her, causing his breath to hitch.
