Chapter 74: Arson's Wrath and Desperation

 


Arson hadn’t slept in days. His eyes were bloodshot, and his usually calm demeanor was a distant memory. The power Jae-ho had transferred to him surged uncontrollably through his body, making him stronger than ever but also more dangerous. Each step he took, the ground beneath him seemed to tremble, as if the earth itself feared his rage.

Ever since Jae-ho had disappeared, leaving him with all of his powers, Arson’s frustration and anger had grown beyond control. He searched everywhere—through the city streets, dark alleys, even places he’d never think Jae-ho would go. The blue power that pulsed around him crackled in the air, making people keep their distance, sensing the danger emanating from him.

"Jae-ho," Arson muttered under his breath, clenching his fists as his power flared up again, creating a small shockwave that shattered a nearby streetlamp. The light flickered out, plunging the area into darkness, mirroring the darkness in Arson’s heart. "How could you leave me with this? You can’t just run away from me."

His obsession with finding Jae-ho consumed his every thought. He couldn't understand why Jae-ho had left. Didn’t he know that leaving his powers with Arson made things even worse? The overwhelming power wasn’t just difficult to control; it also made Arson feel like he was losing his mind. The bond he shared with Jae-ho was too strong, and without him by his side, the power amplified his possessiveness and fear.

Arson clenched his jaw, his footsteps quickening as he walked aimlessly through the city, eyes scanning the streets for any sign of Jae-ho. Every shadow, every movement in the distance, made his heart race with the hope that it might be him. But it never was.

Suddenly, a small flicker of yellow light caught his eye in the distance, almost like a reflection in the corner of his vision. He turned sharply, eyes narrowing as he recognized the familiar glow. It wasn’t Jae-ho, but it was the same type of power that had once belonged to Arak.

Arson’s heart pounded in his chest. It was the first lead he had seen in days, and he wasn’t going to let it slip away. The anger and frustration that had been building inside him exploded as he ran toward the light. The blue power surrounding him flared brighter, crackling in the air as his body moved swiftly through the narrow streets.

The yellow light darted into a narrow alley, and Arson followed without hesitation. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts—fear, anger, obsession—all swirling together, pushing him forward. If there was even a chance that this light could lead him to Jae-ho, Arson would stop at nothing to find out. He wouldn’t rest until he had Jae-ho back, even if it meant destroying everything in his path.

He wouldn’t lose him again.

                      FATE WILL BRING YOU TO ME Episode 1: Unraveled Fate The night was violent, storm clouds swirling overhead as Jae-ho walked alone, his steps heavy on the rain-soaked pavement. He barely noticed the world around him until a flash of blue lightning split the sky. Suddenly, his body was engulfed by an unfamiliar energy, his eyes glowing the same electric blue. His heart raced as he stopped in his tracks. "This... can't be happening," he whispered, panic creeping into his voice. Before he could make sense of it, a figure appeared ahead of him—Arson. He stood still, drenched in the rain, his face even darker under the shadow of exhaustion, with black circles framing his intense eyes. "You..." Arson's voice was low and dangerous. "You really thought you could just leave me?" Jae-ho froze. He hadn’t expected to see Arson again, not like this. "I didn’t mean to," he stammered. "I had no choice. Please, understand." ...

Chapter 15: The Confrontation

Image
  The air crackled with tension as Tristan and Leon faced the man, the darkness around them thickening like a storm about to break. The man’s eyes glinted with malice, blood trickling down his arm where Tristan had struck him. He looked unhinged, a predator cornered but not yet defeated. “You think you can stand against me?” he hissed, his voice low and dangerous. “You don’t know what you’re getting into.” “We know exactly what we’re getting into,” Leon shot back, his stance wide, ready for action. “You’re not going to take anything from us.” Tristan’s heart pounded in his chest, every instinct screaming at him to run, but he stood firm, the knife gripped tightly in his hand. The man laughed, a harsh, bitter sound that sent shivers down Tristan’s spine. “You’re just children playing with fire. And I’m going to burn you both.” With a sudden movement, the man lunged toward them, and instinct kicked in. Tristan barely had time to react as Leon stepped in front of him, blocking the man...

Episode 4: Lost in the Rain

  Episode 4: Lost in the Rain An hour had passed, and the rain hadn’t let up. Arson sat in his small, empty house, staring out the window. He couldn’t stop thinking about the boy.  He had told him to leave, but something didn’t feel right. What if something happened to him? What if he was hurt—or worse? Cursing under his breath, Arson jumped to his feet and ran out into the storm. His heart pounded as he searched the streets, calling out for Jae-ho.  “Where are you?” he shouted, his voice barely carrying over the sound of the rain. After what felt like an eternity, Arson’s powers picked up a faint presence. Following the energy, he found Jae-ho huddled in a corner, soaked to the bone, clutching a piece of rotten bread. His small body was trembling, and his face was pale. Arson’s chest tightened. “You idiot,” he muttered under his breath as he approached. Jae-ho looked up, his eyes widening in surprise. He didn’t say anything, but the tears on his face said it all. Arson c...
