Chapter 77: Enemies to lovers?
"Be careful, Areum. Don’t go overboard."
"What can you do if I do go overboard?"
Yoon Seoyul swiftly grasped Cheon Areum’s wrist in an attempt to restrain him. But Cheon Areum’s eyes burned with fury as he glared at him, the black flames in his gaze nearly as searing as the ones around them. With a sudden jerk, he tore his wrist free from Seoyul’s hold. In the same instant, a massive storm of black energy rocketed forward from his body, crashing into the black fire and then spreading to the front side of the jungle like a tidal wave of hellfire.
Trees, undergrowth, and every living creature in its path were engulfed in the searing blaze, their forms reduced to ash in seconds. The jungle screamed as it burned alive, reduced to a scorched wasteland in moments. Yoon Seoyul stared down at him quietly as the black fire only rose higher into the sky.
That’s right. I won’t concede. You like me tamed, don’t you....

"It’s not that high anymore...."
"A little lower. It’s still way above the trees."
"Alright, now I can’t make it any lower than this, so let me go."
Cheon Areum tried to break apart the arms clasped around his waist, fixing him in one place—Yoon Seoyul’s lap. Yoon Seoyul’s grip was unshakable. Using his advantage in strength, he put him in a timeout. The arms were indefatigable; Cheon Areum could only be freed if he used any of his offensive skills, which he didn’t want to. Maybe Yoon Seoyul also knew he would never injure him for such a reason—that’s why he was nonchalantly resting his head on his back as Cheon Areum sat on his lap in surrender.
