Myul and his crew (14)

<A lone ember stirs...>

Grace: "Huh..."

She eyed the two men, battered but still standing.

Grace: "Do all our opponents have two lives?"

Ji-Woong: "Where did you learn boxing from?"

Kwang Sun remained silent, focused on the rhythmic thudding of his fists against the punching bag.

Ji-Woong: "You can't hide it from me, y'know?"

Kwang Sun paused, hugging the punching bag as he exhaled deeply.

Suddenly, Kai smacked the back of Kwang Sun's head.

Kai: "Answer the damn question!"

Kwang Sun exhaled again, muttering under his breath.

Kwang Sun (murmuring): "Family."

Kai's brows furrowed.

Kai: "Family? I thought you didn't have any?"

Kwang Sun turned to face him.

Kwang Sun: "Same goes for you."

He fixed his gaze on Kai, eyes narrowing.

Kwang Sun: "Where did you learn your Kudo and Ssireum?"

After a brief pause, Kai muttered softly.

Kai: "... Family."

<Forged Straight!>

With a swift, powerful punch, Kwang Sun shattered Grace's batons and struck her wrists.

Grace: "Tch."

She retreated, grimacing in frustration, only for Jun Hao to step forward in her place.

Jun Hao: "You've taken too long."

Jun Hao launched a left hook directly at Kwang Sun's chin without missing a beat.

<The lone ember has grown...>

Jun Hao: "Take care of Kai."

As Kwang Sun stumbled, spitting blood from his mouth, Grace smirked.

Grace: "Sure."

[Jun Hao] vs [Kwang Sun]
[Grace] vs [Kai Jin Ma]

======

[Jun Hao] vs [Kwang Sun]

The air between them was thick with tension as the two fighters squared off, their gazes locked. Jun Hao's breathing was steady, his stance firm, but he could feel the unpredictability radiating from Kwang Sun. They were both bruised and bloodied, but there was a twisted energy about Kwang Sun now—a feral hunger that made him more dangerous than before.
