While doing the compilation I realized that Yuuri stabbed Wolf in the stomach accidentally (nv13, chp6), and then Wolf punches him in the stomach to save his life (nov15, chpt4).
Also, Wolf gets shot to the heart (in nv.9,chpt9) and that's when Yuuri gets shot in the heart with the realization of his feelings for Wolf.

Edit: Wait! And when Yuuri falls off the cliff, Wolf falls for Yuuri

The symmetry and parallelism ToT!

Hmm... I've been told that the "'shot to the heart"'" part after novel 9, chapter 9 is a "stretch", ok.
So here are my quotes to back up my position (the last one is the most important one where he literally says he felt a pain in his heart, also in 10,2 .The rest are for context.)
-----------------(1)
Novel 10, chapter 2
(...)Not a single person here thinks you’re riding for free. You and your friend saved my life. You could say you saved Shou Shimaron.”
The friend he’s talking about is Wolfram. Because the borrowed cloak caused Wolfram to be mistaken for Saralegui, he was shot in the chest by a subordinate of Maxine’s after Maxine started a rebellion. It’s all thanks to the protection of the Poison Lady that he’s fine now, but back then my mind had really gone blank with the shock.
Novel 10, chapter 2 same chapter
Although all that happened more than ten days ago, but just thinking about the situation back then still makes my heart ache, and a certain spot deep in my mind heat up.
The hands that were gripping mine so tightly. Loosening with the indescribable sound of a stick plunging into the sand, and the body next to me falling slowly. Wolfram with an arrow sticking out of his chest, fell backwards onto the deck, engulfed in flames. When I grabbed the middle part, it felt exceptionally cold.
(…)
“What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well? Didn’t you say you don’t get seasick?”
“Relax, relax, I’m fine. I was just feeling a little breathless, that’s all.”
Novel 11, chapter 5
I’ve been in a series of emergency situations since Small Shimaron, and I didn’t have any friends during the trip. Josak is definitely a comrade I can rely on, and is a trustworthy guard, but that’s different from the sense of safety Wolfram gives me. Because we can’t banter with each other, and comfort each other.
A string of white flashes in the corner of my eyes, and Saralegui’s voice, calling out to me, stops in mid-air.
He doesn’t say the ‘-ri’.
This scene is familiar. Although my rational mind knows it’s best if I don’t look, it’ll bring me nothing but trouble, so I must not look no matter what, but I never learn my lesson, and so I can’t help but turn back to look.
An arrow is embedded in the middle of that pale green outfit.
It’s exactly the same as that time. Only this time the target is extremely obvious, and the narrow never came close to me.
Faced with that terrifying trauma, I feel as though all the blood in my body has been sucked away by the ground. Someone else got shot by an arrow in front of me. Right beside me, hit by that most primitive weapon.
I shake my head desperately, grabbing at my hair through the hood of the cloak. Hang in there, Shibuya Yuuri! Wolfram’s not here, he can’t be shot or hurt! Don’t be afraid, the one they aimed for is Saralegui.
Novel 12, chapter 8
That’s right, Saralegui was just attacked at the war port named after him. And that man was one of his confidantes, too, even known once as the Shou Shimaron king’s loyal dog. Back then Wolfram was wearing his hooded cape, and nearly died in his place. Just thinking of that moment makes me shudder in fear.
Novel 14, chapter 3 after they reunite/stab each other
“Didn’t you change the direction of the sword at the last moment? The sword blade suddenly went flat, that’s why Conrad said I only got banged up. But I still purposely picked up the weapon, and just like that, towards your stomach… Mmgh!”
I’m talking about these things, and it hurts so bad just thinking about what happened back then.
(yes, he's thinking about the stabbing, i know, but context for everything they've been through)

Novel 14, chapter 7, bed scene
(Y)“Thank goodness I still have you beside me.”
(w)“You’re being so honest about your feelings it’s sickening.”
(Y)“I don’t even have the strength to pretend anymore.”
-----------------(7)
Novel 17, chapter 7
“He fell from the tree, and I don’t know what happened to him after that, but I shot him. I have no doubts about my own skills, I only release an arrow when I’m sure of hitting bullseye. If he wasn’t wearing those clothes, if that child wasn’t wearing the Shimaron uniform, there’s no way I would have killed him! If he wasn’t wearing an adult’s army uniform, if he wasn’t aiming an arrow at us, I wouldn’t have shot him either! But the reality remains, and it can’t be changed… I did kill a child who wasn’t a soldier!”
Those words hurt me deep inside my heart. In an instant, I felt a pain similar as getting burned. Because I had an experience like that, in which I nearly lost my important person just because he was wearing someone else’s clothes.
Notice how IN THE LAST NOVEL, he says talking about that experience "HURTS HIS HEART".
