This chapter is so sloppy. I'll edit is atsp.

Yunjin looked up and saw Niki with a shocked expression. She stopped rubbing Sunghoons back and broke the hug. "Go and get you some rest, Mr. Park." She said, patting his shoulder. Sunghoon wiped his face and nodded, "Alright."

Yunjin looked at Niki before leaving.

"What was that?" Niki asked, walking up to Sunghoon. Sunghoon looked at him, "is Cheonsa here?" He asked immediately. "Just me." Niki replied, skeptical. "Why were you hugging Yunjin?" He asked. Sunghoon cleared his throat, "She had recently got into an argument and with someone I was just comforting her." He said. Niki raised a brow.

He looked at sunghoons red eyes and puffy red face before nodding.

"I have to go handle some business." Sunghoon said. Niki nodded again, "Okay."

Sunghoon grabbed his phone and walked out.

Cheonsa walked down the aisles and grabbed any snack she found appealing. "Cheonsa?" Jungwon asked, walking up to her. "Jungwon! Long time to see!" Cheonsa said. "I know right? How have you been?" Jungwon asked. "I've been better." Cheonsa shrugged.

"Well I hope everything gets better for you. We should go out for lunch sometime." Jungwon said. "We should! When would be good for you?" Cheonsa asked. "Anytime honestly. Since I've graduated, I have nothing to do." Jungwon replied.

"Let's exchange numbers." Cheonsa said. Jungwon nodded, "you can just put mine in your phone." Cheonsa nodded and made herself a contact in his phone. Jungwon smiled, "See ya Cheonie." Jungwon said, as he waved goodbye. Cheonsa smiled and waved back.

Sunghoon walked down the sidewalk towards the convenient store. He had never truly cared for snacks, but if they made everyone else feel better, perhaps it would help him.

He looked into the window and saw Cheonsa talking to some guy. She was smiling and laughing, she looked happy. Sunghoon furrowed his eyebrows at the sight.

"Sunghoon." Jake said. "Did you follow me?" Sunghoon asked. "Kinda." Jake replied. He looked into the window and made an 'o' with his mouth.

"I don't really blame her for talking to another dude honestly." Sunghoon said, finally. "Are you telling me you two broke up?" Jake asked. "I don't know." Sunghoon replied, choking on his words. "You don't know?" Jake asked.

"She didn't break up with me she just won't talk to me... not to mention she admitted she hates me. Why would you be with someone you hate?" Sunghoon asked. Jake went quiet. "I just miss her." Sunghoon sighed.

"Don't blame yourself." Jake finally said. Sunghoon looked at him. "How were you supposed to know they were her parents? It was 10 years ago. In your defense, you didn't know." Jake said. "She doesn't see that." Sunghoon sighed. Jake frowned.

Suddenly a car zoomed past them and crashed into the convenience store. Sunghoon's eyes widened. "Did you see Cheonsa come out?" He asked, looking at Jake. "No, but-" Before Jake could even finish, Sunghoon rushed towards the entrance.

Before he could even reach the door, the building burst into flames.

The force of the sudden blast caused Sunghoon to fall back onto the ground. Jake caught up with him and stared at the building. Jake panted and looked at Sunghoon. Sunghoon felt his heart drop completely. "I'll call the fire department." Jake said almost inaudibly. "Just sit here and-" Jake looked up and saw Sunghoon had already went inside.

Sunghoon looked around frantically for Cheonsa. He saw a young cashier and the guy Cheonsa was talking too, but he didn't see her. He mentally cursed as he picked up the cashier and Jungwon and rushed them outside.

"Wheres Cheonsa?" Jake asked. "I can't see a thing in there." Sunghoon panted. "Sunghoon... I think you shouldn't go back in there dude. Those flames are huge and-" "I'm going back." Sunghoon said. "But-" Jake sighed as Sunghoon rushed back in.

He cursed as the smoke blocked his view of everything. He covered his mouth and looked around with teary eyes. "Cheonsa!" He yelled. He looked at the mark on his hand and saw it fade in and out. He furrowed his eyebrows and stopped in his tracks.

Suddenly, a shelf fell on his head, knocking him unconscious.

—

Cheonsa opened her eyes and looked around. Her whole body was in pain. She could feel her flesh slowly being burnt to a crisp.

She looked to the side and saw Sunghoon, unconscious.

"...Sunghoon?" She mumbled. She extended her hand and managed to grab his. She squeezed his hand before everything went back to black.

—

Sunghoon blinked rapidly as a white light shined in his face. Once his eyes adjusted, he saw Cheonsa standing over him, perfectly fine. He jumped up and looked around frantically. "Cheonsa!" He said, his eyes lighting up. "You're okay!"

"I'm sorry." Cheonsa said. "The whole fire thing wasn't your fault-" "I'm sorry I said I hated you... it's not your fault my parents made a deal with you." She said. Sunghoon looked down.

"When I said I hated you, I regretted it instantly. But the anger and betrayal I felt wouldn't let me admit it." Cheonsa said, "When I realized you had tried to save me, but got hurt yourself, I was scared that I would lose you too. I'm so sorry." Sunghoon was dead silent.

After a while, he finally spoke, "The deal your parents made... I remember it well." Cheonsa looked at him. "From what I remember, your parents were poor and they wanted their daughter, who is you, to have a good life. A life they never had.

They risked their lives for you, Cheonsa. And I know that wherever they are, they're watching you with a huge smile on their face. Because they're so proud of you. You're so amazing and loving. They love you so much, as well as I do." Sunghoon said softly.

He looked at Cheonsa and saw tears streaming down her face. "I'm not saying I forgive you, because what you said did hurt and I don't think it'll be that easy to just go back on it." Sunghoon started, "But that doesn't mean I don't love you. Because I love you more than anything." He opened his arms and raised an eyebrow.

Cheonsa sat down on the bed and hugged him tightly, "I love you too."

"Did they survive?" Hyunjin asked, standing in front of Seungmin. Seungmin picked with the bandages on his arm and nodded slowly. Hyunjin slammed his papers on his desk. "This is ridiculous! I've done everything in my power to get rid of these two and they just won't go!" He yelled.

"How did Cheonsa survive?" Hyunjin asked. "From what I saw she grabbed Sunghoon's hand. Maybe his powers healed her without him trying. I don't even know how they made it out." Seungmin replied.

"Looks like I'll have to take matters into my own hands." Hyunjin said, looking at the demon guide on his desk.
