Chapter Text

It was supposed to be a normal day for Daniel Park , well.. he atleast wished it would be , even if it isn't going to be one for sure. Logan Lee. Tormentor of Daniel Park since his middle school days. The person who made Daniel's life a living hell just for him existing. Daniel walked , clutching his bag tightly agaisnt his stomach as Logan prepared to throw him another blow. People snickered , some laughed , many felt sorry for Daniel yet never actually interfered for Logan to truly stop. Daniel hated this. He wished he could just.. disappear. Maybe transfer another school instead. Logan , just when his fist almost made contact with Daniel's stomach through his bag , stopped when someone suddenly stood up.

You. The class president of the class, the person who even Daniel used to admire since day one. You were handsome.. extremely , tall , cold.. what else could a girl ask for? Your hair usually slicked back and glasses on your face , you were usually quiet whenever stuff like this happened. Yet today...you seemed...pissed.

" Fuck do you want , bitch. " Logan's voice roared towards your direction. You simply stared at him , your glare sharp as ever which made Logan tense up despite your glasses covering them. 

" There's an exam today , it's too noisy. Sit down. " You replied , adjusting your glasses with your index finger as the others started gossiping , either worrying about you.. or hoping Logan would beat you up. Logan's breath hitched when he felt your glare , he didn't want to , but his instincts yelled at him to sit down or something will go down and it won't be good for someone. And he knows the person going down won't be you.. so , Logan sat down after a few seconds of stalling. His lackeys froze , confused.

" what the fuck just happened..? "

" Did THE Logan Lee just get scared by some nerd..? "

" Logan can perfectly beat up that dude though... Right? "

Voices gossiped around , even Daniel , the victim of the situation was shocked to say at the very least. He looked around and his eyes immediately stared into yours , you stared back , before simply sitting down and resuming your reading. Daniel's legs were shaky and he quietly sat down. He couldn't help but stare at you when your back was turned towards him. He felt.. admiration. He didn't know that someone could have the Logan Lee obey so quickly without even a single fight. 

 . .

Daniel had wished that you would have started defending him every single day , yet it never happened again after that day. Perhaps it was couse you were just worried about the science exam that day that you interfered? But , one thing that did warm Daniel up a bit since that day was when he started receiving small snacks , bandages with cartoon drawings on them or some notes for future upcoming tests. At first , he thought that a girl was finally interested in him...yet that thought was quickly debunked when he felt self conscious about his chubby and fat figure , that's the day he started realising that whenever he wasn't looking.. he felt eyes on him , but when he looked around for whom , he usually saw no one even glancing at him. 

Except one time. It was a particularly rough day , when Daniel had gotten beaten up so bad by Logan that he even threw up. Yet no one comforted him. It wasnt until the class ended that he was approached by someone , which usually was Logan.. but today , he looked up to see that Logan was pushed away by someone approaching him. You. Logan started barking slurs at you yet you didn't seem to care , you simply grabbed multiple bandages which had hello kitty or superman prints on them and handed it to Daniel. 

" The wounds might get infected. " Were the only words you spoke , and then started giving Daniel multiple biology facts and then an unhealthy amount of snacks. 

" ..fight back. It's pathetic to see you getting beaten up. You have..potential. " were the last words your ever spoke to Daniel before you walked away and sat down on your own seat. Daniel stared at you. Baffled. Someone like you said that someone like... him had potential? Either you were out of your mind or you saw something Daniel couldn't see in himself. Since that day.. Daniel started getting small handwritten notes on sticky notes which usually contained old quotes from famous people or simple ' fighting . ' motivation. He knew that perfect handwriting .. you. Daniel would mostly smile slightly before quickly hiding the notes so Logan wouldn't see them and start harassing you instead of him. That day.. when Daniel had returned home , his mom suddenly hugged him.

" ..mom?- " 

" Why didn't you tell me.. " Mrs.Park softly spoke.. Daniel could hear soft sniffles and sobs of his mother , he didn't know what to do..

" My poor boy.. you were getting bullied and you never told me..?" She spoke , Daniel immediately tensed up. How did his mother know? Daniel couldn't think of any possibilities so he quickly tried to deny that fact but his mother quickly stopped him from doing so.

" No.. don't lie.. please.. your friend told me everything.. " Daniel tried thinking , which friend? He never had one-.. that's when it hit his head, his only ' friend. ' . You. Daniel couldn't understand. You went as far to even tell his mother about what was going on..? But.. what would that even do? That won't stop the bullying and tormenting from Logan after all..

" Daniel , my boy.. your definitely transferring to another school.." Daniel's mom , Mrs.Park suddenly spoke , which caused Daniel to freeze for a second before immediately blurting out thank yous.. sorrys , and much more gibberish while crying. 

. .

It was the next day. Daniel had come to school , his last day of school here in this monstrosity. He felt happy yet still felt fear due to knowing he would probably still be beaten up by Logan. But...nothing happened. Logan even avoided Daniel! A single glance from Daniel made Logan look away as if he was .. scared. Daniel just.. wondered what was happening . But truly didn't care enough to pay much more attention. When school had ended , he quickly made his way to you , it took him a bit to actually catch up couse of the difference between his short chubby legs and your long thin ones. He panted slightly as he tugged your sleeve. You stared at him , with the same cold expression on your face like always.

" Ah- i-i.. just wanted to thank you for...telling my mom everythi-"

" No need. " You replied swiftly , not giving Daniel even a second to finish his sentence. Daniel smiled widely as he started walking with you .

" But.. why did you ask my mother to transfer me in to Jaewon high specifically? " Daniel finally asked , the question he wondered since the moment his mother told him that you were the one who recommended J high..

" ..I'm also transferring there. " You replied , which caused Daniel to freeze. He felt warmness.. yet confusion. Why would someone like you.. who had enough qualifications to enter the most prestigious school in the entire world.. go to J High who has one of the worst rumours circling around it? Was it perhaps.. for him? Daniel felt his face flush up and he immediately put his head down.

" ..I'm transferring there couse i know you won't be able to get in to any good schools anyways. " You suddenly spoke , which did make Daniel feel a bit heartbroken couse he was reminded of how he basically sucked at school.. but , that basically had confirmed that you were transferring there for him.. right? Daniel smiled , he felt warmness.. you were the first ever friend he had since probably middle school due to the fact he was basically isolated by Logan's bullying.. 

Daniel soon realised that you had walked him to his house without a single world. He smiled brightly as he spoke up. 

" Do you also live around here? " With a smile as bright as the sun , which did nearly blind you but you soon replied in a very cold tone which still felt like it had a slight hint of warmness to it for Daniel.

" ..no.. i live close though." Daniel hummed while nodding , he said his goodbyes as he went inside his house. You stared for a while , waiting and making sure he was safe , then you walked until you reached your own house.. hm , more like a huge apartment.. you were well off anyways. You could buy a whole city if you needed to , but you didn't , did you? Walking in your home , nobody greeted you except the silence and slight creaking of wood and the refrigerator running. Your parents were never around. Hell , they lived across the world just to avoid you. You knew that you were just a mistake, but due to the fact that your parents were pretty popular in their youth and if they got an abortion they would get a lot of backlash and probably loose their fame.. they decided to keep you. You took your glasses off and put them on the counter , sighing , you laid down on the couch. 

" ..J-high , huh.. " You mumbled to yourself , you'll be honest , you randomly picked that school out of the thousands of requests of letters from school for you to join. You wanted to transfer to another school couse you were annoyed by the environment of that last one. Of course , you used to ignore it but ever since you felt a strange protection towards someone specific , you felt annoyed with it. So.. you decided to transfer , and why not take the one your so protective of with you too? Besides , Daniel doesn't seem that sad about it , rather , he seems happier.

" ..Daniel Park.. " you spoke , letting the name roll of your tongue as if singing a line from a music video. Leaning back into the couch and sinking deep in to it, you wondered if J-high would be better or not. Perhaps that's up to someone else to decide.. 

Chapter Text

I have some ideas and stuff for the reader and some basic information for him / you ! 

Name - Y/n L/n. Will be addressed as [name] in the fic.

Age - 17-18. Around Daniel's age.

Gender - Male .

Height - around 6'0 to 6'2. (185 cm to 189 cm)

Personality - Not that expressive , you could throw a dead body in his face and all he would do is stare and shrug like it's a normal Tuesday for him. He's pretty stoic and cold , it's moreover like a illness for him. He feels something else inside yet he isn't able to express it from the outside. 

Backstory - still deciding this. But I think of making him a part of well off higher middle class family and some traumatic stuff.

Fans - oh he has a lot. For some reasons , whenever he acts cold and ignores everyone , the girls ( and boys..) absolutely die for that. One time , someone bumped into him and fell , but he simply ignored them and walked away. And let's just say many people were jealous of the poor dude who had bumped into him..

Some more stuff - [name] is a very good fighter. Already on the level of gun , has potential to even pass Gun if he tried hard enough. He likes being around Little Daniel. So when he first heard that Little Daniel decided not to come to J-high and instead a hot pretty dude also named Daniel had joined , he was disappointed to say at the very least.

. .

Questions! If your seeing this , please comment and leave your suggestions !

[Name]'s fighting style. I'm having a hard time for this , I wanted to give him UI and basically a lot , but I feel that would make him more powerful than needed.. so I humbly request you to suggest some fighting styles for him! Like UI , copy skills.. animal instincts.. invisible attacks , any really! 

[Name]'s love interests.. although I don't think I will make the ' romance ' a huge part of the story,  or make [name] any romantic.. i still wish to have your suggestions as sometimes , even I am a sucker for romance. The love interest can be any gender! Go crazy! .

[Name]'s ' friends ' or simple allies. I plan on making all the J-high students who are important in the story [name]'s friends , but I'm having a hard time deciding if I should make the others aka the huge figures his allies or simple friendly rivalry stuff as well.. aka , Gun Park , Goo Kim. Should I make [Name] fight them and win to gain their interest ? Diego Kang. Or James Lee.. should I make him interested in making [Name] his 'lackey' for the future events? Gitae Kim. Should I make a small past lore about him and [Name]..? I'm having a hard time! Please suggest ideas.. Should I also make a bit of a story for between Charles and [name]? Like perhaps Charles knew [Name] when [name] was just a kid and Charles saw potential in him but [Name] simply declined? I'm having too much fun with these ideas.. 

Chapter Text

Perhaps it was couse you were saying nothing and staring intently that caused Daniel to be nervous. Daniel.. didn't expect you to visit him in his new house. Which , by the way .. still wasn't clean entirely or had any furniture. It was small. Extremely. And also looked like it would collapse in a second by the wind. But hey , it was his house and he took pride in it.

" ..your.. living here?" You suddenly spoke up. Pointing to the house as you turned to stare at Daniel , who could only nod nervously with a smile on his face.

" .. it's small.. you would have asked me to buy you a new one , 100 times more bigger than this. " You mumbled , your hand on your hip , as if thinking deeply about something deeper than the word deep..

" I mean.. I'm comfortable with it. It's my first time living on my own anyways. " Daniel replied with a faint smile on his face which looked.. genuine. Too genuine. You frowned , disappointed yet decided not to nag him further.

..

You weren't feeling good. Well , not technically bad but not technically great at the same time. You usually never felt anything bad yet today , you had feeling , a gut feeling. Not something that screamed that you were gonna die or anything , no. Just.. a simple one that suggests you might be disappointed? You wondered why. Was it couse today was the first day of your new school? Jaewon high? Perhaps it was. But you simply shook that idea off of your mind.. wearing your clothes and making your way out. It didn't take long until you reached the gates of your new school , which looked.. well , ordinary. It wasn't that great but still looked a bit better from your previous school.

" ..[Name]!" You suddenly heard a voice call out your name. Whipping your head towards the voice, you couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as the person who had called you out wasn't the one you were expecting. No , he was way different. It was some pretty boy who was tall , your height , maybe a bit shorter if you looked closely. He looked ethereal , his body also looked as if though he had trained a lot. You stared at him blankly , as if waiting for an answer or just anything. 

" ..o-oh- it's me- Daniel! " The dude spoke. You stared at him with a look that just says ' yeah , stop lying. ' , you didn't know any Daniels. Except one , who looked NOTHING. like the dude infront of you. This Daniel wasn't short and fat , but was tall and built. 

" O-oh- i mean i mean- uh , I'm Daniel's roommate! Haha-" 

" ..Daniel's roommate , huh.." you mumbled. Taking what the guy infront of you had just said into deep consideration , as if thinking deeply about some matter.

" ..he didn't tell me he had to get a roommate. His house was small enough." You mumbled , glaring at the dude infront of you now.

" Hahah- y-yeah it's just that.. he decided to split the bills of the rent one day couse he didn't have much money!-" the pretty boy infront of you , who you knew now that his name was also Daniel , spoke.

" ..seriously? He could have asked me instead.. " you spoke , irritated at the pretty boy infront of you but soon realised something , where was the Daniel you knew?

" ..Where's Daniel." 

" ..oh.. he.. he uhm.. uh.. he.. decided to not go to school and decided to instead work for money.." Daniel spoke , fidgeting around a bit. 

" ..seriously? " You spoke , your face expression looked like it always did , blank. Yet inside you felt disappointment. Why the hell did Daniel not decide to come to school when you yourself helped him to get in?

" ..I'm leaving this school." 

" ..h-HUH- WHAT!?" Daniel , well.. that taller Daniel exclaimed loud enough for passer bys to glance at him not only for his looks but also couse of his loud voice.

" W-WHY WOULD YOU?- UH- Daniel said he still wants you to go to this school even if he's not coming! H-he informed me!" Daniel spoke , gripping both your hands in his hands as if something he truly treasured.

" ..oh.. alright." You replied , staring at Daniel who looked.. too nervous.

. .

Sooner or later , you and Daniel parted ways after meeting the teacher or who so ever it was...you learnt that Daniel goes to the ' fashion ' department. Or did it have an extra letter? You didn't remember. You were informed that you go in the.. comic and art department? If that's what it was known as. Lost in your deep thoughts , you soon found yourself bumping into another. Staring down at the girl who had bumped into you , you were quickly going to ignore her and walk away. Well , that's until-

" Mira! Are you okay!? Did that jerk just push you!?" A loud voice exclaimed. Seems like the guy was the girl's boyfriend.. and it seemed like the girl was known as Mira. Weirdly did suit her.

" Ah- no Zack, he just-" the girl tried speaking , before the guy named Zack suddenly power walked to you and started getting in your personal space.

" What the fuck is your problem!? You tryna push around girls or somethin !?" 

" .. " you simply didn't care enough from this. Staring down at the guy who was probably shorter than you by atleast an inch.. you stayed stoic. Confused wether to reply or let the guy get even more angrier.

" Ok , Zack I'm fine. Let's go." Mira quickly interfered , grabbing Zack's wrist and quickly power walking away from you.. though , she did look back at you and quickly apologised before completely disappearing out of your view.

You sighed. This was already a fun first day ,right? You soon managed to make it to the ' Comics and art ' department. You expected to be met with either excellent artists sketching around , or people just talking. Entering the classroom.. you were rather met with.. .. huh. People wearing weird headbands , and some were probably cosplaying characters for games or anime.. some even had.. .. body pillows? ..

" NANI!? " a guy exclaimed , talking with another dude who seemed equally as weird.

" ..oh.. this is my department? " You thought to yourself , confused wether to be amused or.. you didn't know what the hell to be.

you simply shrugged it away.. you did expect this situation in your head of the multiple you had thought of , anyways. Sooner or later , they all did notice you. And when they did , they all froze. Like , froze froze. .

" H-holy shit- "

" Is he lost..? "

" No way he's in this department.. right? "

" Damn he's handsome.."

" Omo!~~ ara ara.. "

. .

You stared at them for a second before going to an empty seat at the front row. You felt eyes , you definitely felt eyes. A lot infact , but you didn't care. I mean.. hey , they aren't technically doing any harm , are they? Besides , this is your new school. You need to adapt no matter what the given situation is anyways.

Chapter Text

Sitting in class , at the front row , you paid attention to what the teacher said. Every single word. Writing down anything any words that managed to leave the teacher's mouth. You could hear noises from the class. Mostly random anime phrases which were pretty popular among kids. 

" ..I guess I can get used to this. " You thought to yourself , writing down on your notebook with the fountain pen you had brought for almost 500 dollars. But hey , atleast it wrote smoothly? Anyways. Sooner or later , the class had came to an end. Yet , students didn't leave. Oh no , they instead , made their way towards a specific student.. 

You. Currently surrounded by people you used to ignore back then.. ( you ignored everyone no matter what though .. ) you stared back , your expression as blank as ever. 

" H-hi- I'm Bimi Kim..! What's your-" a girl spoke up , only to be suddenly interrupted by the very same person she was trying to strike a conversation up with.

" [Name]. " You swiftly replied , already out of the entrance of the class , leaving all and every single one of them shocked. Though , that just made them like you even harder. It was as if you had a charm given by gods that people would lust over you for no reasons.. yeah , lust. Couse this sure as hell isn't love.

You didn't technically hate them or anything. You just.. didn't want to talk. Be invisible , like you were in your last school. ( Even though you weren't.. people just ignored you due to being scared of Logan ) Walking and walking , you bumped into a random guy , you didn't even glance at him for a second before walking away. 

You had swiftly made it to the cafeteria without being stopped by anyone in your way , which you technically considered a huge success for yourself.. quickly grabbing as much as you can , you sat down with your tray at an empty seat. You had almost taken a bite of your prescious food before-

" [Name] ! H-hi-" .. Daniel , Daniel Park..the pretty boy who has the same name as one of your friends, but looks the exact opposite. One thing you noticed was how he did act just like Daniel even if you only talked to him once.

You seemed to notice a random girl on his side who looked like she'd bite off anyone's neck off if they tried to even look at Daniel.

" Ha-haha- Daniel we should just eat alo-" she was speaking , before suddenly stopping as she saw something. Or someone. 

" O-oh.. 2 pretty bois transfers!? This is just my lucky day..." She spoke. Definitely unconsciously as she fumbled through her words the immediate second after. 

..oh. you seemed to think in your mind. She was talking about you and Daniel. Pretty? Well.. you were mostly called handsome so being called pretty was.. well.. .. something. But hey , a compliment's a compliment. 

...

" A-hem! " .. glancing at Danie- .. Big Daniel , who had probably made that noise to try and soften and warm up the surroundings which felt.. awkward , to say at the very least. 

" So.. [name]! How's your day been..?" He asked , excitedly like either a kid waiting to be rewarded with a lolipop.. or a puppy waiting for a treat. It didn't help the fact he also had a faint blush on his cheeks.

" ..it's been.. an okay-ish day. " You answered , not wanting to talk about the fact you basically ignored your whole class like they were the plague.

" Hehe- I'm Zoe~~ you must be [name]??" The girl besides Daniel , her name now revealed to be Zoe spoke up , grinning like an idiot as she batted her eyelashes at you. 

" tch.. look at that whore.. "

" Sucking up to a pretty boy from a whole different department now? "

" Sheesh.. she's desperate! "

all kinds of whispers went around. All circling around Zoe. Not all were bad , but it was unfortunate that most were. You stared back at her with that blank look and expression you always had on since the day of your birth. Zoe , noticing how you didn't reply but only stared back, quickly grumbled slightly before sitting down ..

As the time went on , Daniel kept trying to talk to you as he stuffed his mouth with food. While on the other hand.. Zoe kept looking at you then at Daniel with love filled eyes , basically drooling over and over again. You just ate your food.. why the hell did you have so much attention on you anyways. 

That's when 3 particular dudes , which you didn't know who they were at all.. made their way towards you- no , towards Daniel .

" Hey newbie. " The front one started , you frowned slightly , was this a case of bullying? Towards a guy who looked like a Greek god himself? Or was it just another case of them trying to suck up to a Greek god? 

" We need to talk after lunch. " The guy continued , the 3 guys smirked slightly before walking away. You stared as they all walked away , thinking , Daniel looks strong anyways. His body's basically perfect. His height is as well , he probably trains 24/7 , so he should be fine.. not like he's nervous anyways. Glancing at Daniel who- ..

... Nevermind. He looked nervous. Sweat dripping down his forehead as he looked like he was about to pass out , he looked.. confused . Very confused. You just simply frowned. A guy like him.. scared of guys like those? What the hell did he live like before? You got up , ready to throw your tray away , you glanced at Daniel one last time before speaking up.

" Your done eating , aren't you?" Glancing up at you , Daniel quickly snapped out of his bubble as he smiled widely , the nervousness completely gone as he stood up and walked behind you happily , Zoe also followed. It was like some.. train of attractive people following eachother or something.

. . .

It was the end of school , to you , this school.. wasn't that great , in your class you were either constantly surrounded by people or people just spouting stuff about anime or even hentai. Sighing , you reached the school's gate , noticing a random blonde who was on his motorcycle , ready to wear his helmet but noticing you he probably froze. His hair covered his eyes but you could tell..

That he also had the same expression as you. The same ol' expressionless expression.. you stared at him for a good second.

" .. "

" .. "

" ..? "

" ....?? "

" ..! " 

" .. "

" ..!!! "

" ...? "

" !!..! "

With that, he quickly wore his helmet and drove off. Hm. Perhaps that was one of your most longest conversation of your life. Staring off into the vacant space which was previously occupied by that weird mute guy.. you wondered if this school was just full of weirdos.

" [Name]! Were you perhaps waiting for me?? " A voice rang in your ears , turning around , you realised it was ' Daniel ' . You shook your head immediately, not that much in the mood to talk , you simply just walked home with Daniel. Oh wait , did I say home? I meant Daniel's home. 

" Uh so- you can go- thanks for walking me home [Name]!-" 

" Can I meet Daniel? " You spoke up , your expression still blank but Daniel had known for you enough time to notice the smallest change in your expression and determine wha you actually felt.

" O-oh- uh- he's- kinda very asleep! Like.. passed out asleep! I don't think it's good if you-" he fumbled through his words , waving his hands around like a drunkard person who had drank more than 10 bottles. 

Pushing him out of your way , you just made your way to the Daniel you actually knew.. who was , well.. definitely passed out. Poking his cheeks , he did slightly grumbled but didn't wake up , instead turning a bit in his sleep. You frowned slightly , you wanted to ask why he didn't come to school but decided better to not wake him up.

Getting up , you paid your farewells to the bigger Daniel and walked away. Yawning as you walked , you couldn't help but feel a tad bit irritated by something. Something you didn't know.. something you didn't even experience yet. You wondered what it was. But hey , there's another day for thinking! 

. .

Chapter Text

Another day of school. Another day without your precious friend . Perhaps you should just drop out , yet the thought of how Daniel himself wouldn't want you leaving stopped that thought pretty quickly. You'll be honest. Before , you didn't care for a single person in your class. It doesn't matter if they look hot , pretty , handsome , or ugly. You just ... Didn't care enough. Why would you anyways? What's the point in doing so.

Yet for some reasons , you decided to help one of your classmates. Was it even helping? You didn't even save him from his bullies. Not couse you were scared , but.. probably couse you didn't care enough back then. As for now , you'd probably kill to protect that little dude. 

Walking into your classroom , you were bombarded with another group of students talking about anime , waifus , handsome guys.. hell , even hentai..

" heh... Hey.. you like...... You know.. boobs?? "

One guy had straight up asked you. Causing you to stare at him with that same blank look on your face.. just.. maybe with a tint of disgust. 

" ..a-ahem.. ok.. got it.. no boobs.. " 

.. people in your department weren't technically weird. They were just a bit.. bad at socialising. Often bombarding people with weird questions and looking like lost and confused puppies when the person they asked responds with either a disgusted look or straight up cussing. 

It was obvious your department would be at the bottom of the school's hierarchy considering how they were.. you didn't particularly feel bad though. You kinda wished they would get even weirder so people could avoid your department more and you could live a happy and lonely life.. 

So it didn't help when people still tried seeing you from other departments. Oh , wanna know what also didn't help? When Daniel Park  , oh , not your favourite person one , but that pretty boy who he was roommates with , started approaching you more and more. It was like he either couldn't live without you or just wanted to be by your side like glue to paper.

After lunch , when you were approaching the cafeteria , you heard whispers. 

" did you hear the new transferred student in the fashions department defeated THE Zack Lee..? "

" The middle school rising boxing champion Zack Lee!? "

" It hasn't even been a week and he's already gained a throne in this school.. "

" Sheesh.. not only does he look like a Greek god.. but he's also capable of fighting!? "

Usually whispers you ignored yet the name Daniel had stuck on to you for a while so hearing the fact that his roommate , the other Daniel defeated someone in a fight? Concerned you. Was Little Daniel getting bullied by that guy as well? It's obvious he would be getting bullied anyways. Couse what if that Daniel was the typical snake who pretended to be nice but wasn't at all? 

.. also , Zack Lee. You have heard that before.. who was it..? ... After a bit of thinking you seemed to remember , that one time you had bumped into a brunette girl and her ' boyfriend ' tried fighting with you immediately. The girl's name was Mira and the guy's was.. Zack. Yeah. Guess his full name is Zack Lee..

You didn't care hard enough to wonder why they fought anyways.. you just wanted the day to end sooner or later.

.  .

You scrolled through your phone , unconsciously walking till you reached a random convenience store , it was a bit far from your regular stores or even house , but you decided , a store's a store. 

Walking in , your eyes quickly travelled from the interior design of the store to the cashier who had a faint blush on his face. Probably due to the fact a ethereal woman had just walked out of the store. You stared at the cashier who stared back, looking a bit surprised.

" Ah- [Name]! How are you?? " The cashier asked. The one who you actually knew. Daniel Park. The Daniel you knew. Not that.. pretty boy one who for some reasons always was where you were.

" ..Daniel. " you responded , your tone cold and distant yet Daniel knew better than to assume you didn't like him. This was just.. how you were after all.

" Yeah?? " He responded , smiling like a idiot as he stared up at you , you poked his cheeks , feeling how squishy they were before resuming to finding yourself snacks. Coming back, you put down one protein bar and a packet of dried strawberries on the counter , Daniel happily scanned them and told the price. 

" That'll be.. 2 dollars please. " He spoke , grinning up at you , you took your wallet out and paid 98 dollars extra. He stared at you. Baffled.

" H-hey- [name]- it's only 2 dollars- did you accidentally- even so i can't " 

" Just take it. " You interfered, staring at him with the same ol' cold look available on your face. He frowned but silently put the cash in his pockets , a faint smile still visible on his face.

You could have given him a whole bag of cash but didn't couse you knew. You knew the fact he would refused the money if you had given him a cash more than what you had just gave. Sometimes , you wished. That he could be a bit more selfish but he always proved you wrong. 

" ..Danny." you suddenly spoke up , causing Daniel to look at you with a slightly surprised look.

" ..huh?  "

" ..I'm calling you Danny from now onwards. "

" ..huh- well- .. ok?" He responded , smiling nd even chuckling a bit. 

" But , why though..? " He spoke up. It wasn't that he thought it was weird how you were giving him a nickname , it's just that he knew you were a type of person who usually avoided nicknames due to the fact they sometimes confused you with the person's actual name..

" ..Daniel Park. Your roommate." Daniel suddenly froze , a nervous look visible on his face.. 

" What ..about him?" 

" ..I get confused with his name and yours. And I'm not close to him like how I am to you so instead of calling him a different name I'm going to give you a nickname. " You spoke , a slightly determined look available in your eyes  , which Daniel unfortunately didn't realise due to the fact your face still looked blank and expressionless..

" Ah- that's fine-"

" ..is he bothering you?" You interrupted him yet another time. Both hands on the counter as you stared at Daniel. Daniel tilted his head a tad bit, confused.

" Uh.. who?" 

" Your roommate. "

" Hu- what!? No! Why would he- why'd you- huh!? " He responded almost immediately, looking a bit shaken up but not in a bad way. A way which said even he was confused.

" ..oh.. nevermind. " You replied . Hey , atleast you could trust that other Daniel now. 

" ..want me to stay here?" You asked Daniel. Truly worried for his safety yet you still looked like you were threatening poor Daniel for bystanders.

" Hm? No! I'm completely fine , besides.. this is my job so I want to get a bit...used to it , heh- " he replied immediately, smiling happily. You sighed , ruffling his hair up a bit before leaving. Though almost immediately after reaching the door , you bumped into someone.

" Ack! I'm so sorry!-" he immediately said, he looked...shaken up. He immediately apologised and went inside the store to speak something with Daniel. You stared for a second before leaving. Though you did manage to hear some whispers from behind you..

" woah.. whose that? He's totally my type! Although cutie's more cute.. "

" sheesh.. isn't that the so called ice Prince of that comic and art department? "

" He's too handsome to be in that loser department LOLOL.. "

You seemed to recognise a few voices but decided to ignore it and walk away. Perhaps it was just not your day. You usually would have beaten them up as they were near Daniel looking all smug. Probably couse they thought Daniel was a pushover.. which, he is but , hey! C'mon.. anyways , you decided to still leave due to the fact Daniel had instructed you to.. you didn't want to upset him anyways.

. .

The next day at school. when it was lunch , Daniel , not Danny.. made his way into your department yet again.

" [Name]! Uh.. let's go eat together like usual!" He spoke up , grinning like a idiot. Kinda like how Danny smiles whenever he sees you..

" ..you can go. I have a bit of work." You responded , the tone in your voice as distant and cold as ever. And the look on your face even colder than your tone , yet Daniel seemed unfazed by it. Kinda like how Danny was like.. Why were Daniel and Danny so similar?  .

" Alright! Make sure to call my name when you come to the cafeteria! Bye [name]! " He responded , grinning as he soon walked away , that random girl still on his side.. what was her name again? Zoy? Zoi? Zoey? 

. .

Making your way into the cafeteria , you seemed to notice a bit of a commotion in the area where-.. Danny's roommate Daniel was seated at. A 30 year old looking dude was infront of him , as he was probably spluttering out something when a dude with big ears quickly interrupted them , smiling slightly and dragging the other dude away from Daniel. You seemed to recognise the 2 dudes by the name of.. what were the names again..? Basco..? Vasco? Or was it Tabasco? As for the other.. was it Jace? Anyways..

After that incident , Daniel seemed to sigh a very sigh. The kind of sigh a 40 year old single mother let out after a long day at work. When he soon stuffed his mouth with food , he realised and noticed you , he quickly waved his hand at you happily. The cloud of grey around him no longer there.

" ..Hey. " you spoke , sitting down besides him , or well- besides besides him due to the fact that on one time there was the Zoey girl and on the other was a random dude with- huh. You seemed to recognise the little guy as the one you had previously bumped into yesterday at the store. 

. .

After school. It wasn't that interesting as well , except for the fact you saw the same exact blonde haired guy you had seen yesterday on his motorcycle again. 

" .. " ( what. ) you stared.

" ..?.. " (..nothing?..?) he stared.

" .. " (seriously. )

" .. " (..yeah. )

" .. " ( your weird. )

" ..? " ( Uh..? Ok.. )

" .. " ( .. )

" ..? " ( ..?? )

" .. " ( weirdo. )

" ..!? " ( .. what the hell did i!?- .. nevermind.. )

With that , he put his helmet on and sped away on his motorcycle. With that as well , you seemed to realise people were staring at the 2 of you , probably wondering why 2 guys who looked like rich princes were having a stare off battle.

Welp... You still weren't approached by-

" [Name]! " Ah.. speak of the devil and he comes running. Well- Daniel's not a devil. Or is he?

" .. " you stared at him , he stared back with a smile, and eventually , you 2 began walking to your destinations.

 . .

Chapter Text

You were currently in your classroom , trying to have a peaceful and quiet moment that lasted atleast 2 seconds.. yet that thought immediately disappeared as soon as you were approached by a nervous looking dude.

" Uh.. [Name]? " He spoke up , fidgeting around a bit with a piece of paper held in his fidgeting hands. He didn't dare look you in the eyes , it was as if you were the tormentor of this whole department when all you did was sit in your chair without interacting with anyone..

" ..hm? " The guy looked at you with a tad bit surprised look. He was expecting you to ignore him fully or just walk away from him like you always to the whole department. It was.. surprising to actually see you talking.

" I-i was wondering if you were interested in participating in the school's festival event! " He spoke up , smiling slightly now and definitely looking brighter than what he looked like before.

" ..school..festival? " You replied. Well , school festivals aren't that uncommon but you are used to the school festivals usually happening at the end of the school year , not the starting.

" Ye-yeah! Uh.. you don't have to be a part of the charity event , we just need you to be there at the festival! " He spoke up , smiling as he grinned with the piece of paper still in his hand .

" ..why's that? " You asked , staring at the guy dead in his eyes.

" Well- uh.. our department.. as you know.. is kinda.. not that liked , so the whole department usually- no , we always never attended the festival.. you know how departments have those silly little shops and stuff? Well.. our department just didn't have anything , we didn't even attend.. couse.. well.. the last time we did , people started trashing our stalls and stuff.. " the guy spoke , looking down all of a sudden.

" .. trashing all the stalls of our department , huh.. what were you even selling? " You asked , you kinda expected there to be hate but trashing a whole stall? That's another level of hatred.

" ..it was just.. anime stuff. Whenever I tried to sell a old figurine or even a new one.. other students from other departments looked at me in disgust.. they all said that.. anime sucked and.. yeah.." he replied , fidgeting around a bit with his fingers , he slightly adjusted his glasses up a bit before speaking with a determined look in his eyes .

" But I know this will definitely not happen again couse your here! Your cold.. cool.. stoic.. tall.. and most importantly, handsome and pretty! That's all it takes for people to come surrounding our stalls! " 

"..let's change that idea a bit. " You spoke up , snatching the piece of paper from his hands and grabbing a pen of your own.

" H-huh?"

" This anime thing.. of course , that is a good idea but I'm pretty sure the stuff you guys are selling at that stall weren't really.. family friendly. Was it? " You spoke , removing the cap of your pen and soon writing down ideas ...

" Oh- well.. uh.. uhm.. " the guy slowly fumbled through his words. It was true. The last time they had put their stall up in the festival.. the stuff were mostly brought by male students , meaning most of it was.. well.. uhm.. intimate stuff including ones which weirded the shit out of other departments.

" Let's start of with changing what we are selling. What about simple art pieces which people enjoy? Such as simple clothes with barely any visible or just subtle anime logos or maybe even drawings made by some of our talented classmates. " You spoke , writing down and drawing some of the ideas on the piece of paper , the dude besides you , which you soon remembered goes by the name of ' Kimso Ji ' stared , kinda in awe but soon remembered.

" Well.. that will definitely not get us as much as weird looks as last year but.. it still wouldn't be enough.. people avoid our department no matter what and besides , our classmates aren't really.. the best looking.. " Kimso spoke , looking a bit defeated then suddenly he brightened up.

" Ah! We have you though! " He spoke , smiling.

" ..no.. we have all of our classmates. " You replied , same blank look on your face like always. Kimso looked a bit.. baffled. But you weren't lying. Your classmates weren't technically the best looking people , but they also weren't lower than average. It's the fact that they dressed up weird and acted weird that made people avoid them like the plague. Especially one girl..

Bimi Kim . The girl who had firstly approached you the day you joined this school. She wore glasses , ones too big for her own good. She had freckles as well , which didn't really ruin her face at all , it actually enhanced it but it was obvious she was insecure about it. She was also in the fit stage of her life. Skinny , but not the bad kind. Her hair would definitely be sort of a problem though.. it was , tangled. It was pretty easy to tell at a single glance to say it was tangled. It was like she just never brushed it since she was 10. She also had a bit of a bad posture but nothing that couldn't be fixed. 

So with that.. you stood up and walked to the front of the classroom , and immediately all eyes were on you. You knew what to do anyways.

" We will be participating in the school's festival. " You spoke up , pushing your glasses up to your face slightly with your index finger as your eyes scrolled through the crowd of your classroom and classmates. 

" seriously..? "

" We will only get humiliated further.. "

" It should be fine since [name]'s here.. right?" 

" I'm going to jump [name] on his way back home if we get humiliated again like last year. "

" A-hem! . Alright , i recommend an idea which is kinda close to the idea of maid cafes. Just that we won't be selling any foo- "

" MAID CAFES!? " A voice yelled , which caused all the other students to slightly jump but not you. You glanced at the voice. Naoli. A girl who was definitely attractive yet hid behind her hoods and usually , carefree and a bit of a disgusting attitude , which was the sole reason people from other departments avoided her. Naoli wasn't a foreigner yet looked more chinese than korean. Bangs with straight hair and cat like eyes, skin white than snow white as well. That's what confused people about her ethnicity.

" ..yes. Not cafes though. We will be selling art pieces , clothes even and some stationary stuff which is necessary. " You replied , sighing at the sight of the overly enthusiastic girl who basically had air coming out of her nostrils due to how excited she was. 

" I CAN SEE WOMEN IN MAID OUTFITS!? LET'S GO! " Naoli yelled , grinning like an idiot , other people glanced at her and some even from outside the classroom , aka some random bystanders.. you hummed. Ticking Naoli and Bimi on your list.

" You'll also be the one wearing the outfit. " You interfered , writing down on the paper.

" Pssshhh , don't care. " She replied swiftly , brushing hair out of her mouth.

Glancing in your classroom and at your classmates , your eyes wandered on to the student who was looking down at his desk.. Ji-yoo Han . A quiet dude who usually kept to himself , he's short and scrawny. And a bit on the feminine side.. which was kinda exactly what you were looking for. 

You ticked off Ji-yoo Han on your list. Perhaps you should have warned him about it but hey.. that story will be for another day. 

. .

At the end of the day , you had gotten a total of 8 participants , some of them included Naoli , Bimi and Ji-yoo.

" Uh hey- " Kimso spoke up , approaching your desk.

" Are you not gonna participate in the event?" He asked , looking a bit puzzled as even he was selected by you to participate in that event.. although at first he was embaressed to be the one to wear a maid outfit , he soon caved in due to the fact you insisted.

" ..I am. " you replied , a stern look on your face like always , Kimso's face slightly brightened , his mind had immediately went to imagining you in a maid dress which would definitely cause more attraction of custome-

" In a butler outfit. " You spoke. Interrupting Kimso's thoughts in his mind. 

" ..huh???? " He spoke " Wait wait- butler outfits were allowed!? Then why did you pick more men than women to wear maid- huh!? " He spoke , feeling a bit humiliated.

" ..it will cause more attraction. " You simply replied , at the same time.. you got up and walked away , leaving Kimso with his thoughts.

. .

It was the day of the festival. You made your way to the school. Your clothes in your bag instead of you already in them. You were going to change in the school instead you supposed.. 

" WOAH!! that's Dj Roofy! "

" Damn.. this shit's lit! "

You wandered your way till you reached an empty room , the changing rooms. You quickly changed , removing your glasses and wearing contact lenses instead. You decided to let a few strands of hair fall on your face instead of it being so well kept for dramatic effects. You also grabbed a white cloth to keep on your arm like those typical dramatic shots of butlers in movies..

Making your way to your stall , you seemed to notice a bit too many people around it. It was surprising but most were women, and at the same time , it wasnt surprising.

" WAHHH!! [Name]! Why didn't you tell me you ticked my name on the list to do- this !? " Ji-yoo spoke , shaking you as his face was red with embarrassment. The maid outfits you had chosen weren't short, but the ones which were long and actual professional maid outfits. You couldn't deny , Ji-yoo did look good in the maid outfit. 

You shrugged simply , pushing him out of your way as you approached your stall. Many people stopped to stare solely at you and you only.. and in a second , your stall was full and surrounded by customers. 

You even noticed Naoli charming up women walking by with that signature look of hers. Bimi was.. clumsy , but that just attracted more men towards her. Though of course any weirdos were kicked off by Naoli. And Kimso? He was.. weirdly doing well. He was surrounded by both men and women equally. He was acting well as well. Professional like. You wondered if he had done this before. While Ji-yoo on the other hand was.. well , completely grumpy yet managed to get many guys towards his area. 

On the otherhand.. you were definitely the top staff of this stall. 

" pfft- have you heard comics and art department has like a maid stall thing going on? "

" LMAO.. those ugly asses being in maid outfits? That's sounds hilarious! "

" LOLOL!!!! I know right! Look! There's the sta- "

. .

" H-holy shit? "

" Were they all in that loser department!? "

" Damn.. that chinese looking girl looks.. "

" Holy! That's the rumoured ice Prince of the comics and art department!? "

. .

You soon sold out of anything to sell so you simply closed the stall .. causing others who didn't get the chance to attend be disappointed.

You soon noticed someone staring. Daniel Park , he had a faint blush on his cheeks as he was staring at you.

" O-oh [name]!- i-i.. just wanted to be here to check on you.. haha.. " Daniel spoke , smiling slightly..  fidgeting around.. in truth , he wanted to check if you were also in a maid outfit.. he won't deny , he was a bit disappointed when he saw you weren't in one.. but that didn't meant he wasn't happy to see you.

" Oh..Daniel. " you replied.

" Haha- yeah- " 

" DANIELL! THE CHARITY EVENT'S STARTING!! LETS GET YA BATTERED UP AND MADE INTO A LIVING DOLL~~ " The girl interrupted your conversation. Zoey. She quickly dragged Daniel away .. leaving you alone.

You didn't seem to notice the ethereal girl who had just passed from behind you , and her weird bodyguard who had sunglasses on.. but you did manage to feel a familiar stare at you which soon went away as they both passed by you.

 . .

Chapter Text

You stared at the huge stage , where Daniel currently stood. He looked.. nervous , very nervous in fact. You had only recently learnt this was a part of the school's festival.. a charity event. Which felt more like a slave one but you decided to ignore it for the time being. 

Suddnsly , the host , Hwan Kim of the baking department looked pale. Like he had just saw a ghost , he whispered something to Daniel which made even him look like he had just saw a ghost. What the hell was going on? Even that DJ , his name was what , Loofy? Roofy? Looked like he had just saw his worst nightmare come to life.

" 300 dollars! " The girl , Zoey.. spoke up , smirking like someone who has won the lottery as she stared at Daniel , who looked relieved to say at the very least. That wasn't until-

" 1,000 dollars. " Another girl spoke up , she was short and chubby , clothes that reminded you of that one school.. it had a weird tone to it. Chanel High School perhaps? She looked smug. And.. kinda lovesick when she stared at Daniel. Her name was.. Lala Kim? You had heard people whisper.

" 2,000 dollars. " Another girl suddenly interjected in the middle of the whispers. Causing people to stop and stare at her with wide eyes. She had a weird looking dude besides her as well. An annoyingly neon yellow clothing , with sunglasses that didn't really hide that huge scar between his eyes. Ah.. wasn't that-

" U-ughh.. 2,500 dollars.. " Lala spoke up , looking nervous and embaressed but wanted to keep betting to try and win over Daniel.

" 5,000 dollars. " That girl once again raised her prices up. Although that cost was barely anything to you.. you wondered why she still went to such lengths to ' buy ' Daniel when it was obvious she wasn't interested in Daniel at all. Was she just here to flaunt the fact she was rich? She kinda irritated you.

" T-this bag! This bag costs 7,000 dollars! " Lala spoke , waving her purse around as she looked like she was crying.

" Uhh sorry! We are giving money to charity so we can't accept objects as bids! " The voice quickly shattered her dreams. 

Anyways , the man besides that woman. Reminded you of someone. Someone you knew. What was his name again? You forgot. All you remembered was the fact he was named after a weapon.

. . .

It was a quiet day. Well- not until the fact you were approached by 2 middle schoolers who looked annoyingly annoying. One had ugly dyed blonde hair with glasses whole the other hand raven hair with.. Ultra instincts? Yu never thought you'd see those out of Japan.

" Huhhh??? Seriously.. your the one that old man wants as a acquaintance?? Sheesh.. you look like a typical weak pretty boy.. " the blonde one spoke. Looking a bit irritated at the sight of you. The other one quickly interrupted him.

" Don't underestimate him, Goo. He must be strong if Charles told us to ' test ' him and see if he failed or not. " Goo. Seems like he blonde haired guy's name was Goo. What was the other's?

" Pssh. Your no fun,  Gun. Seriously , atleast get some humour in your head. " The guy named Goo replied to the guy named.. Gun. Ok , who named them? Did their parents hate them or something?

" ..I don't have time for this. " You spoke up , sighing as you stared at the 2 figures infront of you. They were older. By only 1 year though. They were 14 , you were 13. 

" Huhh.. so you can speak huh! " Goo spoke , getting in your personal space as he didn't even take his hands out of his jacket's pockets.

" ..then let's begin." The other guy , Gun spoke up. His expression looked laid back. Which did tick you off.

" Of course.. " you replied , you stared at the sight of your shattered glasses which were now on the floor , the guy who had tried attacking you , had only managed to break your glasses , Goo. He stared at you , looking a bit surprised.

" ..huh, so you have passed mastery in speed.. " he mumbled , you quickly jumped up in a split second , causing Gun , the one who was going to attack you from behind to accidentally attack Goo , his partner instead. 

" ACK! WHAT THE HELL!? " Goo yelled , looking irritated at Gun , who looked equally irritated but also shocked.

" ..c'mon.. a 2v1? That's unfair.. " you spoke , looking.. laid back. Expression blank as always.

" WHAT THE FUCK! YOUR EVEN LESS EXPRESSIVE THAN THIS BITCH!?" Goo spoke, refering to Gun , his partner in crime as a bitch. 

" ..huh.. " Gun stared at his hands for a second before glancing at you. Immediately making a move , and so did Goo.

. .

" AHHH!! FUCK- " Goo exclaimed , clutching his chest which had claw marks on them. It was like a bear or a tiger had clawed him. He was also covered in bruises and a few more claw marks and blood.

" ..this... Is exciting." Gun spoke , smirking like a idiot , he also looked mad creepy. He was covered in even more injuries than Goo. Claw marks all across his body , mostly upper body. He had blood rushing out all of those wounds. 

" Fuck- you- WHY ARE YOUR HANDS LIKE FUCKING CLAWS! " Goo yelled , glaring at you. Who only whistled in return. Your hands , especially fingers were covered in blood. Which clearly wasn't yours , your face had only a single bruise which you had gotten while accidentally taking both on at the same time.

" Haha.. animal instincts.. " Gun suddenly spoke up , grinning like a maniac as he stared at you , who barely had scratches , you also looked.. calm. Laid back. Calm. Too calm. 

" Fuck man! I expected someone like you- to be fucking elegant in fights! WHAT THE FUCK WERE THESE ATTACKS!! " Goo yelled yet again , groaning as he got up , quickly grabbing a random chopstick he found to use as a weapon.

" ..I know a lot of ' elegant ' moves in fights. I just didn't want to exhaust myself using them. " You replied , wiping the huge amount of blood on your fingers and handsome away on your clothes.

" Excuse me- EXHAUSTED!? PLEASE! YOUR TELLING ME BEING ELEGANT EXHAUSTS YOU MORE THAN ACTING LIKE THAT DAMN ANIMAL IN A FIGHT!?" Goo spoke up , looking irritated. His injuries weren't even life threatening yet fuck , they managed to hurt like hell.

" ..More.. haha.. fight me more! " Gun spoke , grinning even wider. Even more like a maniac now as he walked towards you.

You frowned , a light frown which both of them didn't notice. Why were they even fighting you anyways?? What was even going on!?

" Charles only asked you to test him...not kill him- or well.. kill yourselves while fighting him. " A new voice rang your ears , both the dude's fighting you also stopped , glancing at the new person.

" James? " Gun spoke , his grin no longer there as he kinda glared at the new arriving guest.

" Tch.. why the hell do you keep entering in between our fights? " Goo spoke , looking as annoyed as ever, though obviously did feel a bit relieved James interfered , couse he knew what the outcome was going to be , and it wouldn't have been good for either Gun or Goo.

" ..you must [Name]. Son of 2 nobodies yet you have the growing prowess that passes even Gapryong Kim. " James spoke , smirking as he put another lolipop in his mouth and walked towards you , he looked.. atleast between the age of 16-18. 

" ..Lollipops.. " you mumbled , you remembered something.. or someone . Who uses lollipops after finishing a fight , or maybe before or even between the fight? Huh. You almost had forgotten about him. Elite. Charles Choi .

" Hm? What? You want one? " James spoke , offering you a lollipop which contained the flavour you absolutely despised.

" .. " you didn't reply , just stared at the hand which had just offered you a lollipop , and then at the person who did.

" ..well.. seems like he passed the test , huh." James spoke , smiling with those cunning eyes of his as his eyes travelled to Gun and Goo's battered bodies and then at yours , which was completely fine. Not a single scratch , except for one of your face which was so small it couldn't even be counted as a bruise.

" So.. what do you say? Working for Cha- " 

" No thank you. "

" ..huh? " James stared at you for a second , he kinda expected you to say no but it still felt weird to hear you say it for some reasons.

" ..you'll get luxury if you do join. " James continued , smiling as he bit down on the lollipop which was previously in his mouth and threw the stick away.

" ..not interested. " You replied swiftly , wiping the access blood on your fingers on your clothes.. James had kinda expected you to say yes even if it more of a 50/50 chance. The sole reason which had made him believe that was the fact that Charles , when he had told Gun and Goo to go fight you , he had said to see if you passed the test. Just like he had done with Gun when he was sent to fight Goo. And in the end , Goo did accept the proposal.

Glancing at the claw marks at Goo's body and especially Gun's.. he spoke up.

" Animal instincts huh.. they seem even more.. harmful than that of Tom Lee's. " James spoke up , putting another lolipop in his mouth , investigating the case with only his eyes , i mean.. hey. It's not everyday you find someone whose even more agressive than Tom in fights. 

Noticing the faint look of recognisation in your eyes when he had momentarily called out Tom's name , he smirked slightly.

" So you did know the fist gang. Guess Charles wasn't bluffing after all.. " James spoke , smiling as he stared into your eyes. The same eyes which made even him a bit wary.

Your eyes flickered a tint of annoyance for a second before- James froze. A hand , which managed to look awfully like a claw for a second ended right infront of his face. So quickly it barely even gave him time to see it coming or even back off.

" W-woah. Feisty huh. " He spoke , quickly regaining his composure as stared at how your hands didn't even have scars. Those hands basically screamed that you didn't fight at all. But the way your acting and obviously the way that Goo and Gun are battered up? It's obvious you were a master in this shit. (And also the way your fingers and nails were so sharp for some reasons.)

" Talk a word more about that and I will rip your face off. " You spoke , glaring at James who stared back , returning an awfully annoying smirk.

" Sure.. sure.. " James spoke , raising both his hands up as if accepting defeat and taking a step back. He stared at your face. The same face which had just threatened to rip his whole face off , yet your expression was so.. expressionless. No emotion at all. Was it just facial paralysis? Well.. not really , he supposed.

You definitely didn't have any problems blinking or speaking. Which was one of the biggest traits in facial paralysis. Or perhaps was it alexithymia? That also didn't make much sense to James , but whatever it was , it was definitely interesting for him to say at the very least.

. .

Ah.. those flashbacks.. were definitely something you had forgotten. Glancing towards the dude besides the woman who had just won Daniel in that so called charity date event.. you seemed to recognise him as..

Gun Park.

It didn't help when you noticed him staring back at you. With a smirk on his face. Hm , has he perhaps gotten more expressive? Couse usually , he just used to have that blank look on his face anyways. Perhaps it changed for him as well.

. .

Chapter Text

You jumped on to the floor from the cushions which were annoyingly soft for their own good.

" huhh?? Little [Name] woke up!! Yooo!! "

" Tch. Don't annoy him further , Gapryong. "

2 voices rang through your ears. You glanced up at the 2 adults who were blabbering on about something. Gapryong Kim and Charles Choi. Or more over known as ' Elite ' .

Glancing around the room, you seemed to notice 2 more adults , both men. One had a type of bandana on his head with hair also covering one of his eye like a emo kid , while the other was a giant who looked- ..

" Ugly. " You spoke , pointing your small fingers to the man besides the bandana dude.

" pfft! He just called you ugly HAHAHAHAH! " Gapryong spoke up , laughing his ass off and even tumbling on the floor trying to catch his breath.

" Kids never lie , do they? " Elite swiftly spoke up , chuckling a bit even to himself. 

" HAHABSHSHS- " The man besides that so called ' ugly ' man laughed. Clutching his stomach so hard it probably hurt more than the laughing itself.

" ..Damn.. I knew I wasn't attractive but hearing it from a kid surely does hurt. " The man spoke up , brushing his non-existent chin pubes as he stared at you.

Ah.. you remembered. Tom Lee and Jinyoung Park. The ones besides Gapryong and Charles who had found you. 

" So. How old are you kid. " Tom spoke , grinning as he bent down to your level. Your face was so.. expressionless it kinda worried the 4 adults , yet they decided not to care.

" .. " silence , was what he was returned with. No nodding , no looking away or even looking nervous. Just.. silence as you stared directly into his eyes.

" .. kid's got eyes that could kill.. " Gapryong spoke , smirking softly as he stared at Tom and you.

" You sure he's around 4-5? Maybe he's an old man who was isekai'd into this world to complete a mission and save the whole world from getting destroyed.." Tom spoke , looking like he actually believed what he had just spoke.

" Don't be ridiculous. " Elite quickly interrupted him, looking equally as annoyed as Minseon does whenever she sees Gapryong.

" But seriously , he does have eyes which are.. too dead inside for a 4 year old. " Jinyoung spoke , crouching besides you as you still kept staring into Tom's eyes directly.

" ..But hey , he's still just a kid! " Jinyoung suddenly spoke , grabbing you and lifting you up like a kid. Well, you are one, but still. You didn't react , yet again , but Jinyoung spun you in circles and circles until Jinyoung himself felt like throwing up , whereas , you were completely fine.

" HHAHA! Damn! This kid has a lotta endurance! " Gapryong spoke , grinning like a idiot as he poked your cheeks and ruffled your hair up , even squishing your cheeks like a squish toy.

. .

He didn't know what he was feeling. Was it jealousy? Hatred? Well , whatever it was , definitely did harbour negative energy towards you and.. his dad. Jake frowned slightly , watching from outside as you were so fondly taken care of by Gapryong. Even though Jake couldn't and didn't see your face , he could see the joy available on Gapryong's. He felt.. something snap inside him.

He was his son.. not.. you , then why did Gapryong never pay attention to him like he did to you? Your a random kid he just found today on the streets anyways.. then.. he supposed he shouldn't take it to heart , but hey. Jake's currently 4 , of course he'll take it to heart even if he was raised to hate his father due to his mother , Minseon Kang absolutely despising Gapryong even if the marriage was a marriage out of love.. though , as time goes on , he seemed to forget that moment had even happened. As when that had happened , he hadn't even known he was still alive , he was just.. a wandering toddler.

. .

Snapping out of that bubble of yours , you groaned slightly , rubbing your head as you stared at the space where Gun and that girl previously stood. Now , no longer there . Glancing up at the stage which previous stood as a charity slave date event , now had 2 guys from the vocal and dance department singing. You recognised one of them as Vin Jin. That guy who was always so arrogant. 

You sighed , fixing your hair up as you shuddered a bit due to the fact you still felt those eyes on you. Glancing around , you seemed to recognise the fact Daniel was no longer here , considering the fact that girl didn't seem intersted in Daniel at all.. made you a bit concerned if everything was going to be okay.

So what you did? You followed your instincts. Making your way towards wherever your guts told you , and sooner or later.. you found Daniel , who was on the ground. And Gun , had his face in another guy's face , which you recognised as.. uh.. Tabasco perhaps? Or was it basco? Maybe Vasco.. ahem , anyways.

Gun looked a bit surprised as he soon removed his fist from that guy's face , he spoke something before almost turning around, that's when he noticed something , well.. not something. someone. 

He stared for a second , directly at you. Before smirking and leaving the scene with that girl who seemed to apologise to Daniel quietly as they both left.

You stared from afar. Vasco helping Daniel up and then talking. It was almost time for Daniel's and.. fuck. What the hell was that other guy's name again..? Duke? Like.. the old era's Duke and Duchess stuff..? You wondered , but you quickly sighed and returned to where the school festival was actually being held. 

Besides , the past was the past. The future will be the future.. so it's better to focus on the present instead.

. .

" Haha..HAHAHA! THOSE HANDS- NO.. CLAWS OF YOURS ARE INCREDIBLE." Gun's voice roared , his body brutally battered up. He was clutching his once completely fine arm which was now completely broken and almost ripped off. 

" ..You know the outcome of this situation yet you still wish to proceed.. .. Masochist in it's finest levels , huh. " You replied , wiping the blood away from your lips , which was clearly not yours. You glared at Gun who seemed to be even more crazed than before. 

Gun definitely enjoyed this. Definitely did. Even on the verge of death , you knew he would keep fighting. No , not couse he's afraid to die , infact , your pretty sure he doesn't care about living or dying. He'd instead keep fighting to feel the so called ' fear ' . The fear of someone. Something that he had never experienced before. It was.. annoying to say at the very least.

" ..At first I thought you were coming back and back to try and convince me to join Charles.. but it seems you just want to feel that so called fear. " You spoke , staring at your bloodied hands which looked more like animal's brutal claws. Glancing at Gun , who looked badly injured. Hell , life-threatening injuries. The type of injuries you usually refrained from using. While on the other hand , you looked completely fine. Not a single scratch on your body. Just.. blood. Which wasn't yours at all.

That excited Gun to the next level. The fact he was already on the verge of death , while you were still.. fine. Okay. No scratches , no bruises , Hell , Gun couldn't even put a finger on you. And the fact you still looked so.. expressionless. No expressions , just the same droopy eyes which screamed bored. That either infuriated Gun or made him more happy. He hasn't felt this in so long.. actually , he had never even felt this.

Even in the fight with Goo , Gun did feel fear.. yet it was soon replaced with excitement more than fear. Yet right now? He felt fear. If course.. he still felt excitement , it's just that.. fear overpowered that excitement. Gun knew , if he actually fought more now , he'll end up underneath the ground , 6 feet deep. Or maybe just end up being on the ground , with no one to pick him up and actually give him a good coffin to lay on until his very last breath.

" ..That animal instincts of yours.. " Gun mumbled. " Charles described you as a cold and stoic person.. someone who showed no emotion at all.. and someone who kept themselves well dressed every second.. that sole reasons , we expected you to be someone who fights elegantly. Attacks precisely.. dignified moves in which i could predict what moves you did one after another just after fighting for a bit.. " he spoke , breathing heavily as even his vision blurred , yet that grin never disappeared from his face. That crazed smirk. He was obviously refering to himself , James and Goo when he spoke of the so called ' we ' .

" Yet.. we were wrong.. animal instincts.. that.. I never.. expected at all.. and the fact your animal instincts are even more dangerous than that of Tom's.. is a devastating blow to most.. it's like you keep coming up with new ways to move and attack. Like a beast.. but a way more dangerous beast than that of even Tom Lee.. each and every single damn attack you give me.. I'm fucking taken aback. Couse i never. Not even once saw any of your moves coming. " Gun spoke , his body staggering as he was on the verge of passing out. " Even Tom Lee.. he said.. his moves.. once weren't this.. fucking deadly.. he told us while blabbering about shit we didn't care , that he saw you fight once and knew what his mistakes were. You , you improving Tom Lee, fucking Tom Lee's attacks without even knowing.. was.. something. It was definitely something! " Gun spoke , grinning even wider. His expression more crazed yet it didn't help when he was now staggering even more. 

" Tell me.. tell me [Name].. who is it that trained you..who is it that you share the blood of?.. or is it that you were the first in your entire bloodline to be this.. deadly? " Gun spoke , before finally his eyes closed and he fell down on the ground. It was a sight to behold. Gun Park. The son of Shingen Yamazaki himself...the one who was so undefeatable , now on the ground. Passed out with life threatening injuries. 

You simply sighed , walking towards Gun- no. You walked past him. You didn't care enough to help him up or take him somewhere to get better. Why? Couse you knew. This wouldn't exactly kill Gun. Well- not couse he was so strong you couldn't kill him , it was just couse .. you held back. You simply didn't fight with your full potential couse that would have been a different story. And besides.. you didn't want to bother yourself with annoying tasks you could easily avoid.

. .

Rubbing your head , you wondered. Were you seriously that aggressive in fights that Tom refined his so called attacks to get them like yours..?? Well, you still are aggressive, it's just the fact you haven't fought for a while..

But hey. Perhaps in the future?

Chapter Text

After the school's festival event , you had heard that Daniel had gotten invited to join an agency , the name which you forgot.. seriously , how bad are you at remembering names? One day , though you had also learnt about the fact that Daniel had rejected the offer. When you met Danny , the actual Daniel you knew.. in that same convenience store , you decided to stay for a bit. Just.. gang out , maybe.

" Danie- ..Danny , have you seen that singing performance of your roommate? " You spoke , scrolling through your phone as you tried to find a video or post talking about it , or just a video of him singing. Upon reaching one post that did speak of the performance , you noticed the video was significantly cut out.. 

You had not actually went to see the ' concert ' , probably due to the fact you were too engrossed in the thoughts of the past to actually notice the time , which caused you to miss the event. Which is why you felt kinda confused on to which was cut out.. or exactly , who was cut out. Oh.. That short chubby rapper , you remembered. You had almost forgotten Daniel was having a duo song with someone named.. uh.. Duke? Yeah. Duke. You had only heard Duke rap once , that time when he was practicing with Daniel. It was good. Kinda catchy. 

" Huh? W-well.. yeah. How'd you think he did? Good? Bad? Great?? " Danny spoke , smiling and kinda fidgeting around as he tried to find more words. Itt seemed to you that Danny really enjoyed Daniel's performance.. or maybe it was the fact he was just cheering on his ' precious friend ' like always. Whatever it was , did cause you to have a smile on your face. Well.. not really a smile. You just felt it , the warmness inside your heart.

" It was.. good. I wasn't there to see it happen live couse of some.. technical issues i suppose. But I saw the performance on my phone. It was good.. " you replied , scrolling mindlessly through your phone as Daniel nodded eagerly at your words, though his expression suddenly turned thoughtful as he spoke up.

" Uh.. what did you think of- "

" That guy besides Daniel. He raps pretty well. It was catchy. His name was something like Duke. Right? I spent a bit time actually finding a video where someone had not cut his part of the performance out. " You replied , basically interrupting Daniel's thoughts and his bubble of misunderstanding. Daniel seemed to let out a sigh of relief , feeling guilty a tad bit due to the fact he even thought you didn't like Duke.

After a while , you decided to go and wash your hands and face due to the fact itt felt kinda chalky. And some time after , you heard a bit of a commotion. And your mind instantly went to the thought of Danny being in trouble. You basically sprinted your way out of the restroom, only to see a random dude with orange-ish brown hair on the ground and a guy with white clothings and even a white cap standing infront of him.

" The saying is, ' you don't hit a flower , even with a girl ' ! " The guy spoke. You seemed to remember him as.. Zack Lee? Seriously , why is his name everywhere you go? 

" Hey you! Don't say a word. " Zack spoke when he spun around and pointed to the girl who looked.. battered up. Bruises on her face clearly.

" And.. now I don't owe you anything. " Zack mumbled , it was clearly directed to Danny. Little Daniel, you'd had almost hit Zack , but it seemed like he genuinely meant it.

" ..if you think it's unfair , you can take swing. although you hit on Mira... " Zack spoke , the last words clearly meant to be a whisper not meant for anyone else to hear. You made your way towards Daniel.. Danny. You were about to ask what had just happened when Zack suddenly spoke.

" What the hell!? Your the one who bumped into Mira and didn't even apologize! " He exclaimed , pointing his fingers at you like accusing you of a heinous crime.

" .. " you glanced at Zack for a second too long with those ' dead inside ' eyes of yours , before staring at Daniel. Looking a bit worried, even if it barely showed , Daniel knew. " What happened? And.. whose that ?" You mumbled , pointing to the guy who was passed out on the floor.

" WHAT THE HELL , DON'T IGNORE ME YOU BASTAR- " Zack exclaimed , looking as annoyed as ever. Yet his words were muffled put in your brain and ears as you solely focused on what Daniel , Danny would say. 

" It's.. nothing , really. Haha.. " Danny replied , looking a bit nervous as he fidgeted around. Seriously.. why do both Daniels fidget around the same way when they are nervous? The way they act as well. It's all the same , just their.. bodies are different. Perhaps .. are they the same person in 2 different bodies?  You quickly removed that thought from your mind. It was a stupid one after all. It wasn't even humanly possible to have 2 bodies.. or is it? .

Glancing around the store , you seemed to now recognise the girl who had bruises on her face.. fuck. What the hell was her name..? Yu?? Yuee? Maybe Yui. You only recognised the girl because at school , she seemed to stick to Big Daniel quite a lot. It was kinda like how Zoey did.. just.. it felt off . And for some reasons, both Daniels used to talk about that girl like lovesick bastards. If it was only Big Daniel.. it ould have been fine , but when it's also Little Daniel smiling and smiling over that girl? Was.. weird. Certainly weird to say at the very least. How did Little Daniel even know that girl anyways? He didn't even attend school. Though , you simply never cared enough to worry about it. Love triangles aren't technically the the best thing anyways. It was kinda obvious how the girl stuck in the love triangle only liked one guy, and it was obvious that it wasn't Littttle Daniel. You did feel pity for Daniel , but. Hey , if he wants to experience this.. he can. Not like you can control what he does anyways.

And right now , considering the fact that Danny wasn't staring directly at that girl like a lovesick bastard.. kinda showed something. Perhaps Danny finally realised that girl isn't the innocent lady he usually talked so fondly of. You glanced at your phone , around 8-9 pm. You didn't really want to leave Daniel alone , but you also couldn't leave your pet alone at home for more time than this. 

" Take care, Danny, " you spoke , ruffling Daniel's hair up before walking out of the exit of the convenience store out your own record.

...

" Sheesh. Why's he so expressionless?? Freak. " Zack mumbled. Feeling a chill go down his spine as he thought of your blank look and expression which you had all the time .

" Don't call him a freak! That's not nice.. " Daniel unconsciously spoke up , upon realising he had not only thought those words but also had spoken them , he quickly tried to swallow those words back.

" What!?- that's not what i- well- ugh. " Zack spoke. Fumbling through his words as he slightly pouted. Not exactly wanting to beat up Daniel due to the guilt he felt. While on the other hand, the girl looked.. a bit shaken up , but did end up smiling a tad bit.

. .

For some reasons , after a few hours , it felt kinda weird. Your guts screamed something you didn't understand. Glancing at your phone , you just stared. 9:54 pm . It wasn't late anyways. So why not go for a stroll outside? Maybe you could also meet Danny on the way.

. .

You walked , yawning. You made your way to the convenience store- or well , almost did , you saw many people surrounding an area, with a few police cars here and there.

Walking to the place the people were crowding around , your eyes slightly widened. Little Daniel , was getting hugged by that one girl who was usually whipped for Big Daniel.. her name was Zoey? You supposed. Glancing around , you also noticed that dude yet again.. ..Tabasco? You didn't remember well but considering the fact there were police cars everywhere and Zoey was crying and hugging Danny , it was enough to concern you a bit. Making your way towards Daniel , you spoke up.

" What happened here? " You mumbled , glancing around at the others and that one guy in the police car.. you seemed to recognise him as ' Gangnam Landlord ' . A viewer whose usually watching females stream and sends quite a lot of ' balloons ' to them. You only seemed to recognise the guy due to the fact you had once scanned his whole pfp and ip address , causing you to also get a picture of his own, you had done hat to scare the dude away to leave one of your female classmates in the past.

And.. also a old , frail , weak looking man who had .. probably no legs , his lower half was in a garbage bag.. he was screaming something about how his son was innocent and that they should let him go.. even going to higher lengths by crying.. parental love is surely different than normal love.

" ..Uhm.. My roommate's friend Zoey was getting stalked by this guy and i tried helping her out.. he also had a knife , that's all , haha- oh! And Vasco also helped me out! " Daniel spoke , smiling , he did look a bit shaken up though , and so did the girl besides him. 

. . Oh. Oh . So that guy's name was Vasco? Not.. Tabasco? That's.. surprising a bit. For some reasons Tabasco suited him more. Also , Vasco reminded you of that one superhero toy you had saw when you were a kid. Did he name himself that intentionally? Anyways..

Staring at the crowd and then at Zoey and Daniel. You just sighed. Everything was resolved anyways.. what's there to it? But considering the fact Danny tried saving Zoey.. meaning that weirdo ' Gangnam Landlord ' definitely did raise his hands and perhaps even laid his hands on Daniel , irritated you. If it wasn't for the huge crowd of people and the police around.. you would have definitely attacked that guy far back.

" ..want me to sta- "

" No!- I mean- no- i don't want you to worry so much about this incident , everything was solved at the very end anyways , haha.. " Daniel quickly spoke , interrupting your thoughts and support, you simply stared at Daniel before walking away. Expression as blank as ever.. 

It was a long day anyways.. perhaps it's better to be lost in thoughts than be lost in worries.

. . .

" [Name] , huh.. " a voice rang your ears yet again, you stared at the giant who was behind you. He had eyebags , heavy ones. And a strand of hair fallen out of place from his perfectly kept hair. He was yet , another giant as well. Around 203 cm tall.. he weirdly reminded you of..

" ..Gapryong Kim did have many affairs and other sons anyways.. " you mumbled , staring straight into the guy's eyes. He also seemed to have an axe available in his hand.

" ..you seem oddly familiar. Are you perhaps that kid that old man raised for a period of time? " The guy infront of you spoke. He was simply staring at you. Or perhaps , staring into your damn soul.

" .. " you remained silent , not really wanting to reply as much as he hoped you would. That's when another figure approached , that bastard. James Lee .

" Seems like you 2 already had a fantastic meeting.. " James spoke , smirking as he chewed yet another lolipop in his mouth. He glanced at you , then at the guy way bigger than you.

" ..[Name] , this is Gitae Kim. Gapryong Kim's.. other other son. " James spoke , smiling as he made his way towards the two of you. He seemed annoyingly interested in matters like these.

" ..the one from Mexico? " You replied , staring at the giant infornt of you , who you now identified as ' Gitae Kim ' . You have heard rumours. Certain rumours he goes around targetting kings , kinda like James.. just the fact that he hasn't gone to the major kings yet. Perhaps , only Jichang Kwak. It also didn't help that his trusty ol' pal axe was there with him as well. You have heard he doesn't hesitate to kill.

" Hm.. Correctó. " Gitae spoke , swinging his axe immediately to your shoulder , though you simply didn't dodge. And the axe , didn't pierce your shoulder.

" ..haha.. interesting. " Gitae spoke , smirking as he slowly withdrew his axe from your shoulder.  " Why'd you not dodge? " James interfered , staring at you. His expression looked serious for a second yet he quickly managed to get back into that annoyingly cheeky expression.

" ..even if it had struck me , it still wouldn't have changed the fact I'd win. " You simply replied , not looking that intrigued or interested in Gitae. Gitae stared at you for a second before bursting out laughing.

" HAHAH- hahaha.. your interesting.. are you truly as strong as what I have heard? " Gitae spoke , smirking as he stared down at you. You stared for a second before staring at James and Gitae before speaking.

" ..Why did you introduce him to me like we 3 are supposed to be allies..? " You spoke , your expression was still blank , yet they could hear the confusion in your voice. It was true anyways.. you didn't really consider James your enemy or anything in general. He was just.. a stranger. While on the other hand , James considered you as either a rival , or a friend , you didn't know.

" ..funsies , couse it might be useful in the future. " James spoke , smirking as he soon walked away , Gitae , for a second stared at you , before swinging his axe right on the same spot he did last time.

Yet this time , you dodged. Why? Couse you knew. He wasn't faking it this time. You stared at Gitae , who stared back at you , he smirked slightly before the same blank expression appeared on his face. Oh boy. This was going to be a long fight.

. .

Gitae didn't expect this , how could you.. so easily .. you barely even had scratches on you. Except for a few bruises there and one axe hit which didn't even tear your skin on your arm , you were completely fine. While Gitae on the other hand.. was bruised up like a kid who just got bullied by a pack of dogs.

The claw marks , were deep and possibly life threatening. It was a surprise those weren't left by any animal at all. It was all left by you. You looked as bored as ever. Not even a drop of emotion ok your face , your shirt was slightly ripped , which you did feel a bit bad over , but nothing much.

Your hands were , and looked very much like clawd. Blood on them. Even human skin were on them. You simply stared at Gitae , then grabbed his axe.

" ..the same axe which was used to kill many , huh." You spoke , before raising your hand and swinging at Gitae. Gitae dodged.. well , not exactly. You hit the axe besides him. Besides his head , perhaps to tease him , who knows. Gitae stared , wide eyes for a second before laughing. Laughing like a fucking maniac.

You grimaced internally , was this another masochist pervert like Gun? You hoped not. You threw the axe away , and simply walked away. To where? Who knows. You simply just wanted to feel peace. 

You had been fighting so many people these days , it was ethereal to you. Also , why were you fighting so many people these days? Even that didn't make sense. You groaned slightly , seriously.. you should have been in school right now.. what were you doing here?

. .

" ..huh.. so he truly does pass even Gapryong's prowess? " James mumbled , staring at Gitae who was currently in bandages all across his body , Gitae simply shrugged , whistling.

" ..he's either going to be a threat in the future.. or a very interesting ally. " James spoke , smirking as he leaned back onto his chair, he stared off in to the ceiling. Wondering. Wondering what it will be like once you actually reach your peak.

. .

Tom Lee stared at Eli Jang. The kid he was instructed to train for some reasons. He did enjoy the fact that kid had animal instincts. Exactly what Tom Lee had. Sometimes , the unpredictable moves that kid attacked with.. reminded him of.. someone. you. Though of course , yours were more deadly..

" You do remind me of that kid. Ha-HAHA! " Tom spoke , grinning like an idiot as he stared at the battered up Eli on the floor.

" ..who..? " Eli managed to let out , he was heavily breathing and it was clear his vision was getting blurry. Tom , with his hands on his hips. He was completely naked if not for the underwear he currently had on.. stayed silent , for a second before grinning and picking Eli Jang up with one hand.

" Let's get back to training. "

. .

" Ha-HAHAHA- HA- " You laughed like a maniac , fighting someone whom nobody else knew , but only you did. It was a sight to behold. Someone.. like you , actually struggling to fight someone. It was interesting. Yet , who was the other person?..

" ..Heat mode.. never knew [Name] had that in him. " James mumbled , he was originally walking around. He had not.. expected you to be in the middle of nowhere , fighting with someone who James didn't recognise at all. Though, the sight of your crazed expression and annoyingly strong skills which were probably even more strong now.. irked James. It sent a chill down his spine.

" Better if I avoid those 2.. maybe that older guy's his mentor or something.. they do attack.. similarly.." James mumbled the last part , simply making his way out of where this was , he didn't want to get involved in this shit at all , couse he knew if he did. It would probably be the end for him.

.. he still couldn't get that image out of his head. You? You? Usually so stoic and cold , who looked so bored in every single damn fight he fought.. was so.. .. expressive yet not at the same time in that fight with that stranger. Crazy underestimated what you looked like during that fight. It was chilling after all.

. .

You walked into your school , yawning , probably didn't get much sleep last night due to worrying about Daniel and some random thoughts, and also the fact your dog pooped on the floor and you had to clean it.

" [Name]! " A voice exclaimed , it was kinda obvious who it was. Big Daniel. You seemed to now know when the person who called you out was Little Daniel or Big Daniel. As you both walked together , you still felt the eery resemblance between Big Daniel and Little Daniel.. if you had said anything about that fact to others , people would have called you crazy . 

They basically kissed Big Daniel's feet and kissed the floor where he took any steps anyways.. it wasnt surprising , you supposed.

. .

Eli groaned , struggling to get up , he still couldn't leave a single scratch on Tom's body.. just how much strong was Tom? Or was it just that Eli was.. weak?.

" If you actually want to kill me one day , maybe you should learn from that kid. Haha! " Tom blabbered on , laughing like an idiot. Eli's face scrunched up in disgust due to the fact Tom was still in his fucking lacey underwear.. but he wondered. What kid? Whose kid? Who the hell is it that can actually manage to not just land a hit on Tom , but actually kill him? Just.. who?

. .

Chapter Text

" uh.. hey [Name]? " Daniel spoke , sneaking into your department right after school had ended , it was Big Daniel , so nobody really cared... They just kept gawking at him. You stared at him for a second , before just waiting for a continuation of what he had started.

" I was wondering.. if you could perhaps- help us out at- gian- statio- nevermind.. sorry for bothering! " Daniel quickly spoke, blabbering about some other stuff sooner or later. He seemed to be.. fumbling through his words as he quickly left. You stared at the space which was previously occupied by Daniel. Looking.. confused.

Just to make sure nothing bad happened, you followed them nonetheless..

. .

Gun stared at the sight. Looking intrigued by someone. He was currently in his car , being called by Yui to make sure nothing bad happens to those 3.. even though everything was solved pretty quickly at the very end. He lightly smirked thinking about Big Daniel who had now improved since he had last saw him at that event.

" ..G..Gun? "

" A-aren't you Gun?- "

Voices soon exclaimed. Bursting Gun out of his peace bubble as Gun stared at the 3 kids. Well- not kids. One had brown hair , black bandana.. it was a guy , while on the other hand. A girl with brown-ish looking blonde hair was helping that guy walk. And on the most right hand side.. was a chubby dude with blonde hair. Gun soon spoke up.

" ..you know me? " He spoke , smirking slightly.

" Yes! A while back I saw you at a distance with other seniors here.. "

" I respect you! "

" It's an honour.. " Gun stared at the 3 who seemingly.. ' respected ' him. That was.. surprising, but Gun didn't care for any compliments if they weren't from someone way stronger than him.

 .. 

After a bit of a back and forth conversation with the 3 , Gun seemingly told them they were all the same age.. 

" I'm taking the GED. " Gun spoke , smiling , his arrogance visible behind those annoyingly big ass glasses of his. The 3 stared at him in a bit of shock before turning to leave.

Gun didn't fail to see the visible confusion and a bit of nervousness when they looked , not at him.. but on.. top of his car? Soon after the left , Gun quickly looked at the roof of his car , only to be met with-

" Seems like i worried for nothing. " A voice spoke , Gun stared at the person who had spoken those words , a bit of a shock before smirking widely.

" What are you doing sitting on top of my car? [Name]. Unusual for you to say at the very least. " Gun spoke , grinning like a maniac as he even got out of his car to stand and stare right into your eyes.

" ..is there anything usual about me? " You replied , still sitting on top of the roof of the car with your legs criss-cross apple sauce.. you weren't wearing your glasses like usual , instead , you were wearing.. heart-shaped sunglasses..? 

" ..any particular reason to why your wearing.. that? " Gun spoke , gesturing towards the ridiculous glasses on your face.

" .. regular glasses broke. Don't feel that great without glasses. " You replied , the heart-shaped sunglasses were .. very pigmented. The hot pink was bright , It would be a wonder if you actually could see with those glasses. 

" ..huh.. so you do seem to know that kid? " Gun spoke, obviously meaning ' Daniel Park ' when he spoke of ' that kid ' .

" ..Friend's roommate. "You replied , you yourself didn't know what to consider Daniel Park..the bigger one. Sometimes you thought of him as a friend , sometimes you thought of him as a burden , sometimes you thought of him as just.. someone. A stranger to you , but a roommate of another.

" ..so you do actually have friends , huh? " Gun spoke , smirking as he took a cigerette out and lit it. 

" Ironic coming from you.. " you stared at Gun who smirked even harder , taking a drag from his cigerette before replying.

" Ouch. That hurt. " You just stared , then at the sky which was as blue as it could be. It was.. annoyingly bright.

" ..[Name]. Let's figh- " 

" Oops. Time to go. " You interrupted Gun , jumping off of the car's roof top before swiftly making your way towards big Daniel and his other friends who seemed a bit surprised to see you.

Gun stared , looking a bit baffled for a second before bursting out laughing. Oh how he so desperately craved your claw like hands to rip him apart- (Gun definitely thinks like this in canon for strong opponents. Nobody can convince me this man isn't atleast a bit fruity.)

Thinking about the fact he doesn't care for compliments if they aren't from stronger opponents.. he'd be lying if he said he didn't wish for your approval. He would basically kill if he could hear you say that he had grown even a tinsy tiny bit stronger. Even though Gun knew , he is way stronger than before. Yet , he wants to hear those words come out of your mouth.

The day Gun hears any compliments for him form your mouth? That's the day Gun will officially think it's the end of the world. Even if he so desperately craved for those compliments , he knew you won't ever say them out loud. Your way too.. stoic to compliment someone anyways. Considering that fact , Gun thought to himself. 

Maybe one day , just maybe , Gun will hear words coming out your mouth.. that Gun's capable of killing you. Perhaps that's the day Gun will officially go crazy and go on a rampage , but hey. It's for the best , eh?

. .

Now that Gun thinks about it , you were wearing the same uniform as that Big Daniel guy.. and you said he was a friend's.. roommate? Gun almost choked on his saliva. He had forgot you were 18. A year younger than him. Not some 40 year old guy who was extremely matured and had experience.. 

He'll be honest.. he keeps forgetting that fact just couse you talk and act like a old man sometimes. And the fact you fight like someone who had more experienced years than the years Gun had even lived.. he never really cared for anyone's appearance. He only cares if they are strong , so he tends to sometimes forget people's actual ages..

. .

" Daniel. " You spoke , causing the attention of more than 20 people- (only a quarter are people you actually know , the rest are literally Burn knuckles members..) to stare at you in an instant.

" Ah- [Name]!- what are you doing here- " Daniel spoke , looking annoyingly surprised , you shrugged , simply going to walk towards Daniel when a voice interfered with your thoughts.

" Hey! Atleast apologise to Mira for bumping into he- " Zack , that boxer spoke , he looked like he was about to pass out with blood on his head , but seemed determined for some reasons. Mira , the girl, tried smacking Zack for saying that but quickly refrained as she remembered the state in which Zack was.

" ..sorry. " you spoke , staring directly into Mira's eyes , which probably made her be even more scared , but hey.. all's good , right?

" Heh- see, Mira? I'm.. strong.. " Zack mumbled , strisght before he passed out and was now leaning against Mira who struggled to keep him up..

" ..idiot.. " Mira mumbled , though she did smile a bit. You stared at them for a second before suddenly at that dude who looked 30 year old but was 18.. his name was.. Basco? Vasco? , he had tears rolling down only out of one of his eyes as he stared at the 2 lovebirds.

Well.. that was something.

. .

" HUHHH??? You met [Name]!? you pervert! Did you stalk him like you did as a kid!?!? " A specific blonde haired guy with glasses spoke , while playing on his gamer controller , basically competing with Gun in a racing game.

" You wish I had stalked him..he willingly came to me. " Gun replied , scolding as he sooner or later won quickly in the game. He smirked when he saw the neon yellow letters in bold displayed on his part of the screen. ' WINNER ! ' , whereas Goo's part of the screen displayed red letters in bold , ' K.O ! ' .

Goo groaned , he threw the consol away as a way to try and calm down , he cussed out everything about Gun before remembering there was another soul present in this pent house.

" Hey! JAMESSSS " Goo exclaimed , staring at ' James ' . 

" Call me Dg or Diego.. I'm still trying to get used to being called this shit better. " james- well , Diego.. i suppose , replied , he was on his phone , scrolling. His bright baby pink hair was hard to miss anyways. Signature style of ' DG ' .

" Yeah yeah whatever.. So.. what do you think!? " Goo exclaimed , pointing his fingers at Diego who stared back at him , raising an eyebrow

" Think about.. what? "

" Pssh. You know , the fact [Name] so called ' willingly ' met Gun! " Goo continued , making sure to pronounce the word willingly more louder than the other words.

" Well.. i suppose that'd be a first. " Diego replied , kinda intrigued in the conversation now that you were mentioned.

" I know right!? That cold ass freak usually avoids that pervert like the plague! What's the sense in it if he starts meeting that pervert willingly!? " Goo continued , thinking of stupid stuff in his mind. 

" Seriously. I'm not even fucking lying. I'll tell you. I was told to make sure those kids don't get hurt.. including that kid I was talking about , and sooner or later , i heard a voice coming from on top of my car. And boom , there he was..sitting on top of my car like some freak. " Gun suddenly interfered , looking annoyed as ever at Goo like a housewife angry at her husband who came home late , drunk.

" HE STARTED SITTING ON TOP OF CARS!?!? SERIOUSLY! WHY'S EVERYONE BECOMING BIGGER FREAKS THAN THEY WERE BEFORE!?!? " Goo exclaimed , basically yelling due to his voice being so high and loud.

" Ironic coming from someone like you , Goo. " Diego spoke , not even bothering to look up from his phone at Goo. " Though I suppose it's funny to imagine [Name] sitting on top of a car , considering how distant he usually is. " Diego continued , he suddenly pulled up a picture and showed it to the 2.

" Still have this pic from that time you both were beaten up so bad by [Name]. " Diego spoke , smirking as the picture on the phone showed both Gun and Goo battered up with claw marks all across there body. And Diego aka James just posing infront of the camera with a peace sign as he had arrived later than expected and was safe. ( Even though he wouldn't even try and fight [Name] anyways..)

" I- YOU DIDN'T DELETE IT!?!? " Goo yelled , looking irritated as fuck before speaking. " Atleast i dint get any permanent scars anyways.. how the fuck is that even possible though!? Those wounds definitely reached my bones yet it never left scars. " Goo mumbled , pouting slightly but decided it was best to ignore it.

" Mhm.. yeah. Your body needs to be soo soft and smooth like a baby's with no scars.. yeah. You can shut up , fucking snow white. " Gun replied , looking annoyed at Goo even more now. 

And with that.. the two started fighting like feral cats in a street fight. Diego sighed , looking done with all this. Perhaps like a mother with her 2 sons who didn't listen to shit.. though , Diego simply just went to an empty seat , and sat down , scrolling through his phone , making sure there were no rumours circling around him..

Chapter Text

It was exams time , and honestly , you knew you'd get all answers correct without even trying anyways.. so you decided not to open a single book or notebook , not even lift a single pen. 

So.. why were you , with Big Daniel , with so many books and notebooks open like you were going to revise the whole history of the entire world?

" Ah.. so this is how the chemical formula works..? " Daniel spoke , to which you simply nodded.

. .

Probably a day ago or 2..

" [Name]!! " Daniel basically yelled from afar , causing you to stare at him by snapping your neck around which scared even Daniel himself.

" ..? "

" Oh- uh- i was just.. wondering if you could help me learn English and perhaps science as well..? " Daniel spoke , fumbling and fidgeting around. 

" I have a bit of a hard time understanding chemistry anyways.. I also heard from Daniel that your pretty good at studying! " Daniel spoke , grinning like an idiot as he patiently waited for your answer.

You were originally going to reject that request due to the fact you didn't particularly want to help Big Daniel , but thinking of Little Daniel quickly made you change your thoughts , only couse you knew Little Daniel might get mad at you if you said no..

" ..sure.. "

.. 

you stared at your answer sheet , you had finished in less than 10 minutes or so.. so perhaps , you could use a small nap for the time being. You simply tapped on Ji-yoo's shoulder , that's when he spun back so fast you didn't even see it , did Ji-yoo fight and had achieved mastery in speed or something??

" I'm NOT showing you my answers! Oh so Mr.Pretty boy of our department! " Ji-yoo exclaimed, looking annoyed as shit , he simply adjusted his glasses , you stared back like a confused kitten before replying.

" Wake me up when the exam timer ends. " That's all you spoke before you simply put your head down and went to sleep , failing to notice how Ji-yoo's face turned red with embarrassment and humiliation.

" Hmph.. " Ji-yoo turned back to continue his exam..

. .

After the exams ended , the teacher had announced you had topped the class with 100% on each and every exam.. well , not 100% fully due to he fact you wrote some answers wrong , even though you knew the correct answers. 

After classes had ended, you were approached happily by Daniel Park. The bigger one.. who looked annoyingly happy yet also looked like he was guilty of something..

" [Name]! " He called out , come to think of it, he was always the one starting the conversation and he was always the one who actually called out to start a conversation.

" I just wanna thank you for helping me study.. i-i had also gotten a lot of help from my other classmates , like- Jay , Zoey and even Duke! But you were definitely the ones who helped me a lot , alongsides with Jay of course! " Daniel spoke , smiling brightly as he walked besides you , clutching his backpack tightly as he could.

" Oh and- will you be attending the retreat center? " Daniel suddenly spoke up , causing you to look at him in a bit of confusion. You had seemed to forgotten about the fact schools in these areas held this stuff.. you usually never attended , but what's the harm in going..

" ..sure. " you replied , Daniel looked even more happier than he was before when you had decided to say come.

" Great! I will make sure you get on our bus! " Daniel spoke , before walking away to his own destination , you stared at the empty space left by Daniel. You then stared. Confused. Same bus? But.. you and Daniel are in different departments? 

. .

" SERIOUSLY!? WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING ON OUR BUS!?!? " Zack yelled , pointing to you, who were currently just standing there with one bag in your hand.

" Hehe-.. I kinda asked the teachers to change his bus to ours and they agreed pretty quickly.. " Daniel replied , nervously rubbing the back of his head while trying to avoid eye contact with Zack.

" no surprise.. they don't think twice before saying yes to Daniel anyways.. " Jiho thought to himself , glancing at Daniel then to you.

" guess the rumours were true , Daniel and the ice Prince of that comics and art department aren't friends.. .. how can someone like him be in that losers department anyways..?? " Jiho further thoughts to himself , before he was quickly out of his thoughts bubble when there was a commotion by Zack who was yelling at you for stupid ass reasons.

" Zack.. just sit down. " Mira spoke , looking as stern as ever. " Oh- okay! " Zack spoke , like a dog wagging its tail for its owner as he sat down quietly.

" ..cut your balls... "

" simp.. "

" Zack's such a Wimp these days. "

Many people whispered , yet Zack simply ignored those whispers instead of taking it to heart. As long as it wasn't about Mira.. he didn't care enough to take part in it. While on the otherhand , you simply sat down next to Daniel , this was the first time you actually attended this so called retreat center anyways.

. .

You all soon get off from the bus , glancing around , you see your own class getting out of their bus , you stared before suddenly , Bimi noticed you and gestured to you to other classmates.

Upon noticing you , she waved happily , Naoli also did , grinning like an idiot as she stuck close to Bimi. On the other hand , Kimso simply smiled and bowed to you from afar , it wasn't that big of a bow but it was polite. While Ji-yoo on the other hand.. he..simply.. flipped you off , looking as grumpy as ever as he clinged to Kimso.

.. seriously , how did you even piss off Ji-yoo that much? You wondered , before turning your attention to Daniel who was already walking ahead of you with the others. You soon caught up..

Sooner or later , Zack was at that punching bag game...was it called that? You seemed to forget. His punch had reached the total marks of ' 892 ' points. Causing the machine to set that as the new record.

Zack smugly looked around , for Mira specifically , wanting to see her looking in awe or admiration.. but that thought was soon destroyed when Vin Jin , from the vocals department , managed to surpass even Zack's record. Reaching a total of ' 903 ' points.

With that.. Zack went to the hammer game instead , he managed to win it . And that caused the two of them aka Zack and Vin Jin to start squaring up to some shit. When suddenly , Vasco interfered , not directly though..

" Is that the punch game? Daniel, let's try these! " Vasco spoke up , dragging Daniel alongside with him as Daniel for some reasons appeared nervous.

. .

" Vasco broke the hammer game's machine! "

" Daniel ripped the punching bag.. "

Whispers went around , Zack and Vin just stared at the 2. Mouths slightly open. That's when Vasco suddenly dragged you in our of nowhere.

" [Name]! You should try this. " He spoke out. You stared at him. Seriously? How does he even know who you are? You never interacted even a single second with him before. You glanced at the hammer game , which was completely broken.. then at the punching game , whose punching bag was completely ripped..

Sighing , you guessed the latter option wasn't fully broken , it was only the punching bag which was ripped.. so you made your way towards the machine , slowly raised your fist and then-

Ka-BOOM!

. . You stared at the machine. Now completely broken, hell , the top part was literally apart from the lower part of the machine , you stared at the others , All staring at you with wide eyes , Daniel even had his mouth slightly open , you stared at the machine yet again.

You had originally made sure to not put much strength into it anyways.. so how did it- .....

" Uh- sorry-. " You quickly spoke , walking away from the completely wrecked machine while avoiding eye contact. 

" ..let's just go. " Daniel spoke up , smiling nervously as he dragged you away and others soon followed. Though , whispers definitely didn't stop.

" sheesh.. is our school going to get sued by this place or something.. "

" Probably. Those 3 absolutely demolished the games like nothing.. "

" Never knew there was another monster in our school.. sheesh! "

. .

Upon reaching your actual destination.. The retreat center , your eyes were naturally drawn to the 2 instructors in green. One was basically gorgeous , not as much as Daniel but hey , he was still handsome. While the other...not so much. 

You noticed the name tags on both of the instructors. Zeus and Won Bin.

Interesting names to say at the very least.. something about both of them did creep you out , but the one who had the name tag ' Zeus ' , creeped you out more. 

. .

" Why do you.. have a.. this , in your bag? " The instructor named ' Zeus ' spoke , taking out a dagger from your bag pack. Causing others near to you pause and stare.

" ..self defense. " You replied swiftly , staring directly into ' Zeus's ' eyes , causing him to look away due to the intense stare. 

" Well , this is definitely not allowed so I'll be taking this.. " ' Zeus ' spoke , looking away and making sure not to meet your eyes. After that , you were made free to go.. sighing , you couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed when you no longer had your dagger with you, it was the finest in your collection after all..

. .

You were currently scrolling through your phone as you walked , not noticing the fact that a specific door was open instead of being closed like all the others..

" Shit.. do these girls actually not want us here? "

" No shit.. they were all here for only Daniel and Zack.. "

" Sluts.. "

You heard talks , the voices seemed familiar yet you decided to ignore them, you walked until you were suddenly snatched by the said voices.

" Hey! [Name] , right? Haha.. your Daniel's friend.. why not hang out with us for a bit?? " Someone spoke , that someone was the so called ' Doo Lee ' , that one weird streamer you saw on the social media platforms..

Looking inside the room, you noticed 2 more guys who were pretty irrelevant to you , then you saw probably around 4 girls inside , each and every single one had different coloured hair- oh , weren't those the girls from beauty dept who had done that dance before?

" Omo.. he's hot.. "

" Such a hottie.. "

" He looks like he's cold and distant.. exactly fits into my liking! "

" Wah.. I know right.. distant.. kinda like Eli? "

The 4 girls whispered among themselves..

" He's even better than Zack and maybe even Daniel..hehe.. "

They whispered more , you glanced at the 4 girls , then at the 3 guys , and then at the huge amount of booze and cigerettes lying on the ground.. wait , they had kept the booze and cigerettes but your dagger was taken!!? How unfair. (Not really 🥀)

" Sorry. Kinda busy. " You soon replied , freeing yourself from Doo's grip and walking away , failing to notice the even more disappointed looks on the girls faces , but the guys definitely didn't seem to care enough.

. .

Walking , you suddenly got a message from ' Danny ' , aka Little Daniel..

Danny

Hey! [Name] , could you perhaps come to Mira's room for a little hang out?? (⁠＠⁠_⁠＠⁠;⁠) 

Sorry for bothering ! (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)..

You stared at the message. Looking... Confused. , you sooner or later replied.

You

?

What do you mean , Danny.

?

Danny

ah! (⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)

Sorry! [̲̅⁠$̲̅⁠(̲̅⁠ ͡⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)̲̅⁠$̲̅⁠]

Sorry sorry! (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

Forgot to tell hehe..

Sorry sorry again! Forgot to mention big Daniel sent that to me to send you couse he doesn't have your number! Haha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

You

Oh. Okay , take care. Love you.

Danny

Thanks!! (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

You stared at your phone , chuckling a bit to yourself , couse despite not being near Little Daniel.. you knew he definitely was panicking while writing those texts , considering how many sorrys he had just sent.. glancing out from your phone , you seemed to notice you had stopped directly infront of ' Mira's ' room. So you twisted the knob, and entered. Only to find-

.. everyone was lying on the floor , something in the middle was covered poorly by some blankets. You also seemed to notice the fact not a single soul was actually sleeping. They were pretending. Sooner or later , Daniel slowly opened one eye and when he saw it was you , quickly got up 

" Wah! [Name]! We thought you were an instructor checking on us! Phew.. scared us. " He spoke , sighing and then smiling brightly as he made you sir down besides them. Zack kinda glared at you for a second before speaking.

" Seriously.. Him again?? He's literally in the comics and art department! Why'd he so involved with our dept!? " He spoke , groaning slightly , while Mira just smiled a bit staring at you.

" .. " you stared at Zack before staring at Daniel , and then at the booze lying on the middle of you all.. you also seemed to recognise the other 3 guests as.. let's just not say anything , you butcher names up worse than actual butchers. Oh , except for Zoey. You knew her just couse she was always around Daniel.. both Daniels in fact.

. .

It was.. definitely a night. You glanced at Daniel who was shaking Zack slightly.. while Zack was crying for some reasons. Whereas the glasses dude was acting tough , and the girl.. you didn't even want to describe much.

You glanced at Mira , the only one who wasn't drunk , she noticed you staring and returned a nervous smile back. 

" ..I'll just leave.. " you mumbled , getting up to leave but suddenly getting pulled back by someone , you expected that someone to be Daniel but-

Zack hugged you tightly , preferably , your legs as he cried loud and clear.

" WAHHHH , Why are you leaving so early!!! That's not fun...... Ugh.. " he groaned , fumbling around his words , clearly drunk , he turned to stare at your face , your monotone face which showed not a single drop of emotion.

" ...ugh.. pretty boy.. your prettier than.." he had a hic-up suddenly. " Most girls I know.. not.. as much as Miiiraa though! " He glanced at the floor before back at you. " .....if I was a girl , I'd be all over you..... " He mumbled , before completely passing out on the floor. Mira stared at Zack before immediately apologizing to you for his behaviour.

Though , you didn't fail to notice the way she also chuckled a bit at Zack's behaviour. It was.. definitely funny to say at the very least.

You stared at Daniel , who was still strong on booze , so instead.. you decided to stay in this room instead. Hey , it's a fun day anyways. Let's hope it'll be the same for the next few days..

. .

Chapter Text

This will consist mostly (?) of [Name]'s headcanons !

[Name]'s fighting style - i have already mentioned this in the fic but he has both heat mode and animal instincts. He's basically the best at animal instincts than any other techniques he knows. Though , he does know a few other martial arts like systema and taekwondo , yet , he's not the best at those , probably beginner level due to the fact he barely uses those martial arts.

[Name]'s friends - It's pretty easy to tell by reading the fic , but his closest friend is definitely Little Daniel , he doesn't know how to consider Big Daniel though , he's still kinda wary about him but does soften up often due to the fact both the Daniels act the same (probably couse they are the same..ahem) . His other ' friends ' probably will be Zack , Vasco and other important figures of the J-high lol. 

[Name]'s ' love ' interests - Ahem , I will be saying this in advance but there will be no endgame of anyone with [Name] , but just for funsies , I will be putting some so called love interests for him.. the first one's pretty obvious , Daniel! Preferably , Little Daniel. Daniel definitely had gained a small crush on [Name] since the very first day they met but he definitely erased those thoughts due to the fact he thought [Name] wouldn't like being with him , and also considering the fact Korea is one of the countries whose lowkey homophobic.. so being influenced by that , he'll probably ignore that part of his body. 

Next up..... Uh , i don't know actually , perhaps Zack? I'd like to think Zack thinks of [Name] as pretty and handsome , but he probably slapped himself for thinking those thoughts couse he absolutely loves Mira.

Third up.... Hm , well , perhaps how about Eli Jang? I'd like to think that when Eli first saw you, he probably thought of you as some random cold pretty boy , but sooner or later , he seemed to recognise your face.. that's when he probably realised you were ' that kid ' that Tom Lee kept talking about , so being curious , he started following you , not in a bad way of course.. After some times , he probably started liking you , but feeling the guilt of losing Heather and thinking that everyone around him will have misfortune , he probably distanced himself from you. I mean , hey , Hostel doesn't have a happy ending , do they? (Eli Jang , my pretty boy , please come back in the future chapters 🥀🥀 )

I think of making Gun and perhaps even James his ' love ' interests , though , not that huge considering the fact Gun definitely thinks these feelings are just couse he likes how strong you are , and James, well , he definitely wants to remain as a single Pringle his entire life. Anyways , that's all for [Name]'s love interests! I know.. kinda alot.. but hey.. let's get our boy some love couse he isn't going to get any at the ending!

Some random stuff - Eli Jang , when he often was trained by Tom Lee and Gun , he often heard the words ' that kid ' and ' him ' leave their mouths often whenever Eli would fight with his animal instincts..  so , like what a typical 14 year old gets.. he got curious! So much so that he decided to ask Gun and Tom himself who ' he ' even was.

. .

" Ugh... Who even is this.. kid your talking about so often? " Eli asked , slightly groaning as he still tried avoiding Tom's attacks and also started countering back by clawing him.

" .. that kid huh.. did I mention him that much that you decided to ask me yourself who he is? " Tom asked , laughing out loud , seeing the opportunity, Eli struck. Tom was a bit startled but quickly regained his composure and caught Eli by his face.

" Haha. Exactly like that kid.. just not as refined. " Tom spoke , smirking as he stared at Eli. Tom probably threw Eli across the room after that , Eli groaning , got up. He knew he wouldn't get a proper answer from Tom. So he isn't going to expect much from Gun.

. .

" You want to know who ' he ' is? " Gun spoke, taking a drag from his cigerette as Eli slowly nodded , Gun stared Eli dead in the eyes , before speaking.

" Your here to train and be my successor. Not ask dumb and irrelevant questions. " Gun replied , causing Eli to feel disappointed even if he knew he wasn't going to get any answers , but Gun suddenly spoke up , or well- whispered which Eli managed to hear.

" ..He should be around your age by now. " Gun took another dragon from his cigerette, noticing the look on Eli's face, he realised Eli had definitely heard him. So , he continued.

" He uses animal instincts. Probably even better than Tom's. He's strong , too strong for his own good.. " Gun suddenly stopped as he stared at Eli , who was listening , intently , not even striking as Gun was a bit distracted. So using that opportunity, Gun struck.

" ACK!?- " Eli choked on his own saliva as he quickly got into his fighting stance. Glaring at Gun.

" I'm not here to tell you about someone i know. I'm here to train and mold you into my masterpiece. "

. .

[Name]'s relation with the bigger figures in the manhwa - by bigger figures , i menat those who aren't in J-high or so.. first , I'd like to start with the first generation kings!

King of Incheon - Jaegyeon Na - He had only saw you one time , and that one time had happened when you had visited Incheon as a small kid. Probably around , how old? Maybe 3-5. He remembered seeing you when he was just walking around Incheon , he didn't see why he was so curious about him , was it couse you possessed an aura that was not possible for such a toddler? Perhaps it was. But after that moment , he never saw you again.

King of Ahsan - Taesoo Ma - once when he was playing an arcade game after beating all the gangsters of that area , you had approached him , preferably , saying he kinda sucked at the game. Taesoo first thought you were an enemy , but he quickly erased that thought when he realised you weren't hostile , at all. After that , you both never met again and Taesoo gradually forgot about you.

King of Daegu - Gongseob Ji - He hasn't met you , but you had met him. Well , Gongseob Ji , probably in his youth was fucking around with some women and well , you were passing by , that's all.

Former king of Seoul - King of Chungcheong - Jichang Kwak - Met you only once when he was fighting some kids in his prime , he remembered you glaring at him for a second before leaving , that's all, yet he has heard much about you from James when they had fought , and also some rumours circling around you when you were in your ' hometown ' .

King of Suwon - Seokdu Wang - he was once taking care of a kitten when he was young , probably around 16-17 , when his kitten escaped , you were the one who found him and gave him back , Seokdu , lost in the concern for his kitten , he thought of you as a threat , snatched the cat back and just walked away.

King of Cheonliang - Seongji Yuk. (My baby boy) - He had once heard of you , from both Taesoo and Jaegyeon , and even Jichang. Jichang described the fact he had heard that you were strong , and probably a psycho ,  whereas Taesoo described you comepletely different , saying you had kinda helped him win a level in an arcade game he couldn't pass for days and then you suddenly disappeared, while Jaegyeon just described you as.. a werid kid.

. .

" Seriously!? Why have you all met that kid but not me!?!? Even Seokdu's ass has met him!? " Gongseob exclaimed , looking like he just got his heart broken by the love of his life.

" Not our fault you only chase fucking women. " Taesoo spoke. Looking even more annoyed , this was one of the few times all the kings got together in one single place.. at cheonliang. Preferably , at Seongji's home.

" ..well , I haven't met him as well. " Seongji spoke up , causing Gongseob to glare at him before speaking.

" You don't count , you stay in the mountain and avoid people like the plague. " Gongseob spoke , scoffing as he laid down on the ground , snatching Jaegyeon's ramyeon and slurping it down.

" MOTHERFUCKE- " Jaegyeon exclaimed , and the 2 soon got into a fist fight. Well- it seemed more like a street cat fight , but hey.. 

. .

Gitae Kim - he seems to be intrigued by your , likes having you fight him , he enjoys the fact your strong , yet does harbour negative feelings towards you , considering the fact you knew Gapryong and were an ally for him.

James Lee - He's also intrigued by your , though , he does like having you a company , often comes around your remote hometown to hang out for some reasons , he also makes sure not to get into fights with you , he doesn't want to end up with life threatening injuries when he has to defeat the kings.

Diego Kang (yeah ik , same person but still!) - He's matured enough to not be that same playful guy who was always around your side with a lolipop in his mouth. He kinda creeps you out. He also acts.. sly. Something that even his past self was , but.. Diego acts more sly than he had done before. It's annoying. You know , he wants to use you as an asset for his future plans , yet you don't know what his future plans are. World peace? Seriously , that's definitely not what he wants... Is there another plan? Who knows.

Gun Park - he's a masochist , being called a pervert by Goo all the time , couse he definitely gets turned on between fights with strong opponents. One of the main reasons you always avoided him , even going so far as to pretending to be a worker in a small restaurant which Gun didn't care enough to check in. 

Goo Kim - He acts like an annoying fox , one that you wish you could just cut up and- ahem. But he's not that bad considering the other 3.. so you tolerate him , and he tolerates you.. he's still kinda thankful that your fight with him didn't leave him any scars.

. .

Hm, there were others I had thought of before , but I can't seem to remember those ideas! (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠) , so I'll probably update this as soon as I get new ideas.. I'm really excited to see some of your ideas! ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡.. 

Chapter Text

The next day , when you had woken up , you found yourself sleeping besides Daniel who had- marker on his face.. .. let's hope it wasn't sharpie. He just glanced around , waiting for an answer..

" Hehe.. your a heavy sleeper Daniel! " They spoke , it was probably and definitely Zoey..

Glancing over at that baby faced glasses dude.. was his name Jinho? Or Jiho? Your eyes slightly widened as you stared at the fact that his entire body was covered in marker. Lines and lines. Even his face.

They soon glanced over at you , Zack soon speaking.

" Seriously , you didn't even drink yet you managed not to wake up at all. " He spoke , grinning slightly , upon seeing those grins and giggles of the others , you quickly took your phone out and opened the camera app , and sooner or later , you saw it. 

Whiskers drawn on your cheeks , alongsides a nose , probably of a cat. It didn't surprise you when the words ' kitty cat ' were also written on your cheeks. You glanced at the 3 who were currently there , Zoey , Mira and Zack.

" I wrote the kitty and Mira wrote the cat! " Zoey spoke , smiling as brightly as she could. You stared at them , waiting to find out who drew the cat related stuff on your face , that's when Mira suddenly spoke up.

" Zack drew the whiskers and nose.. he said you reminded him of a stray cat whose hostile towards everyone " She spoke , chuckling slightly as Zack's face soon turned red.

" Mira- why'd you tell him- ugh.. " Zack exclaimed , but he clearly didn't want to argue further with someone whose Mira. Daniel stared at you , then laughed a bit.

" A stray cat.. that name does suit you! " He spoke , smiling brightly , you simply didn't reply with anything , but didn't deny anything as well .. 

. .

Upon the time of changing clothes , Daniel had momentarily glanced at you for a second and- he swear he saw metal on your right leg , but perhaps he saw wrong..?

. .

River rafting , or perhaps more known as ' recreation rafting ' .. Zeus and Won Bin.. they still creeped you out. The way Won Bin kept staring at Mira also did creep you out , but that look kinda screamed concern over lust. It was..confusing. where as on the otherhand , Zeus managed to creep you out further.

The way he glanced at the girls when splashing them, was creepy enough. You also didn't like the fact that Mira was on the same boat as Zeus. 

Glancing towards your own boat members.. Daniel, Jiho , Zack and a random instructor who was in awe of Zack and preferably , Daniel.. both were pretty after all , you clearly didn't notice the fact that the instructor was also staring at you from time to time..

Daniel, noticing the fact Zack was sitting.. quietly and seriously , way too serious.. he asked.

" Zack , are you okay?.. you look.. a bit like your having period cramps? " 

" I'm having- WHAT!? I'm a guy!?- ugh.." Zack exclaimed , he sighed for a second before suddenly pointing at you.

" Him. "

" ..What about [Name]..? " Daniel replied immediately.

" ..he's in comics and art department.. right? " Zack asked , staring directly into Daniel's eyes- or perhaps his soul , depends on how you look at it.

" Well.. yeah? You.. already knew though , didn't you..? " Daniel replied , looking a bit confused as to why Zack was acting like this.

" ..so.. WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING AROUND WITH US!?? THIS AREA IS SUPPOSED TO BE OF FASHIN DEPT FOR THE TIME BEING- " Zack exclaimed , pointing at you , who looked completely careless and not that much expressionful as well..

" Oh- well- " .. Daniel's words soon drowned out from your ears , you were too busy glaring at that Zeus instructor from afar who was still on that boat with the girls.. he creeped you out , too much.

Zeus must have felt your glare as he quickly started onto your direction , upon meeting your eyes , you knew he was first going to try and make a disgusting face which said ' You wish you were here? ', couse he thought it was another instructor's gaze , but realising it was yours , he quickly avoided your face. 

It was.. normal though , considering the fact he was the same guy who had took that sharp ass dagger out of your bag and all you did was nonchalantly say that it was for self defense.. it was pretty easy to tell you weren't a normal student..

. .

The days soon came to an end. It was the last day of the retreat center.. you glanced over at Daniel who was getting comfy in his bed , and the guy besides him.. whose name is Jiho , you seemed to remember now.. he was covered in sharpie , head to toe still due to the fact he couldn't get it off , at all. He was already fast asleep , you glanced at the time on your phone. Probably around 10 pm or so..

You got up , wanting to go for a small walk , you didn't care enough if instructors caught you.. you could easily either bribe them,  or kill them. It depends on your mood with them.

.. 

Upon returning , you noticed the fact there was a plastic bag containing food and booze on the ground , you went to Daniel who was seemingly awake , and with the others.. except 2 , Mira and Zack. Zoey and Daniel in particular seemed.. more concerned than usual , so you stared , confused , that's when the news hit you like tons of bricks.

" I-it's just that..uh.. have you seen Mira? " That single sentence was enough to tell you something , you suddenly remembered that one time you were scrolling through the convenience store Danny worked in and came across that wanted poster. ' Heemin ' . A wanted criminal , who had commited sexual assault and r@pe. A r@pist on the run. And that man , was the counsellor , Zeus.

" ..I'll.. be back. " You suddenly spoke , sprinting as fast as you could , you didn't know where to search even. But you knew you had to be fast , Perhaps Zack had already went there to save the day , but it's better to be cautious. That's when you remembered , you had seen Mira walking back to her room when she was caught by the same fucking counsellour. Zeus. 

" ..shit shit- " you mumbled , this was the first time you were so panicked , and for someone you didn't even know well. Well- it doesn't matter if you knew the person or not. You knew that sexual assault or r@pe is a crime you'll never ignore.

You ran and ran , suddenly remembering the fact there was a warehouse , upon reaching the warehouse , you barged in , panting as you stared at the seen infront , your eyes wide as they could be. By this time being , the others had also followed you.. 

Zack's arm were clearly broken , yet he kept punching Zeus- no. Heemin. Whereas , Mira was trying to stop him, yet she was heavily trembling , which could only means one thing.. 

They sooner or later managed to get Zack off of Heemin , as the 2 aka Mira and Zack were surrounded, you walked over to Heemin , crocuhing down .

" ..Heemin.. the wanted criminal. " You mumbled , Heemin stared back , he suddenly had a creepy smile on his face which sent shivers down most spines , but not yours.

" So you know me..am i that famou- "

Everyone's attention was suddenly back to Heemin as a loud and sickening crunch and a scream was heard. Your hand- no , fist was on his face. His teeth were all already broken. Hell, his face was dented it seemed like his skull was broken. Some people tried stopping you , yet you simply just stood up , raised your leg slightly, put it on Heemin's ribs and-

C-RACK! 

Another blood curdling scream left his mouth. By then , you were already pulled back by Daniel and Zoey , you simply stared at the guy who was suffering with his life threatening injuries..

".. seriously.. people disgust me. " You spoke , groaning as your expression shifted to that of a disgusted one. Probably the first time people actually saw your expressions. Zack stared , he proudly saluted you for doing the thing he didn't. 

" If I had my dagger with me , I'd firstly cut your throat off and make you eat it.. but you don't deserve to die so easily.. " you mumbled , soon walking away with Daniel as the police arrived. 

. .

As while Heemin was getting taken away , he glanced towards Mira's direction, if he could , he would have given a creepy smile , yet he couldn't. Why? His face was so bashed in it was difficult to even see if he had a nose or not.

" seriously.. that guy was the one who did that? "

" Maybe false accusation..? "

" Well.. he definitely doesn't have a handsome face now that his face is so bashed in.. "

You sighed , seriously , you still wished you could just- you stared at Zack who was staring back at you , he simply grinned at you , and bowed slightly. The same way he had done to Won Bin , who was currently being taken away on a stretcher due to his injuries. 

. .

The next day or so , arriving back , you stared off on to the night sky , wait- night sky!? Didn't you arrive in the morning- ahem , anyways. 

You kept walking , it had been a hell of a day yesterday. That incident must have shooken Mira up. You wondered if she was okay. You suddenly stopped when you heard noises. It was faint yet not that faint that you didn't hear it.

Glancing towards the area of where it came from , you walked till you saw a small kitten lying on the garbage bag , the kitten was wet and shivering , it also didn't have one leg.. that reminded you of- 

You glanced at the cat , and quickly began your journey , picking the cat up and sprinting to the nearest vet. Seriously , why were there almost no vets in this damn area!?

. .

" It's good you bought the kitten here sooner.. had it been even a minute later , she would have lost her life. " The doctor spoke , smiling as she bandaged the small kitten up.

" ..she's small and frail.. it's like she hasn't eaten for days.. " she continued , she then took out a small cat treat, snipping the top off and gesturing for you to hold it and feed the cat instead.

" ..! " You stared for a second before grabbing the treat and tilting it towards the kitten's mouth with trembling hands , the kitten slowly looked up , sniffed a bit.. before licking the treat.. you stared , eyes slightly wide.

" ..I'm pretty sure the kitten likes you back.. it's nice to- ARE YOU CRYING!? " The doctor exclaimed as she looked at you.

. .

The following day , the kitten had gotten way better , more energetic.. and , more aggressive? Perhaps it was couse the kitten was so hungry yesterday that she had not bit you but now.. uh..

You stared in the mirror as many many scratches were on your body. Arms , neck and even your gorgeous face. Sighing , you thought to yourself.

" does the cat not like me anymore..? " But hey , perhaps it'll get better.. soon?

. .

You arrived at school , and for some reasons , people kept staring at you like they just saw a ghost , it was.. confusing as to why. Reaching your classroom , you simply put your bag down and went to take a stroll , and for some reasons , found yourself infront of the fashion dept.

You stared at the door. You thought to yourself for a bit , before deciding to enter couse it was boring outside.. and you needed to check if Mira was alright or not , oh- and also Zack.

Upon entering the classroom , Daniel and Zack were the first 2 to notice you , Daniel excitedly called out your name as you approached the group , that's when Daniel and Zack and- well , everyone stared at you with confused and worried looks.

" What. " You spoke , confused.

" Uh.. those scratches? " Zack pointed with- well, his whole fist which was bandaged up .

" They look pretty deep.. " Mira spoke , looking concerned.

" ..oh.. these are from my kitten.. " you replied , glancing at your arms which were completely butchered by the huge amount of scratches left on them.

" Oh- you have a kitten!? " Daniel exclaimed , looking excited as ever at the mention of a baby cat. While Zack on the otherhand scoffed. He mumbled .

" A cat having a kitten as a pet.. how cool. " He mumbled in a sarcastic way , though it was loud enough for others to hear. Mira chuckled slightly as Daniel nodded to himself , you stared , confused. What did he mean by-

" YOU HAVE A KITTEN!? " someone yelled , barging into the classroom as someone else tried to stop him .. oh. Vasco and Jace? You finally remembered their names.. Zack stared at the 2 then at you. 

" CAN I SEE?? PRETTY PLEASEEEE " Vasco spoke , clutching both your hands in his own as he stared at you with puppy dog eyes , which.. well , don't work on you.

" ..sure? " You still replied though , looking confused. It was just a kitten.. why was Vasco so energetic over it? (Says you.. ahem.) You glanced over at Jay , who was quietly sitting beside Daniel , oh- seems like the 2 have became.. friends? Well , not surprising. Daniel's like a friend attracting machine. The day was peaceful.. let's hope it stays that way.

. . .

Chapter Text

" your.. raising dogs? " 

Those words left your mouth as you stared at your most precious friend , Daniel , or whom you call , Danny. 

" Mhm.. I told you about that one dog I was helping , right? The one who got abandoned and was pretty skinny but also pregnant? " He replied , smiling softly as he scrolled through his phone to find a picture of the pups.

" She just recently gave birth- oh! Here! These are the pups! " He suddenly exclaimed brightly as he showed you the picture of the small pups who didn't look barely a day old , alongsides with the mother dog of course.

" ..ah.. E-nu? " You replied , questioning if the name you had just spoken was the correct one or not , you were definitely relieved when Danny in question , nodded in return.

" Yeah.. I was wondering if you could perhaps keep the pups..? I don't have much money to get around with keeping so many dogs.. " Danny asked , he fidgeted around a bit. You stared at him , you were originally going to accept but being reminded of the fact you had a small kitten at home who was pretty frail , you frowned.. but it was only a small pup- No.. what if the pup turns into a dog then into a monster and then murders and eats your kitten- 

" [Name]? " Danny's voice quickly shattered your bubble of concern , you stared at Danny before slightly shaking your head , Danny did pout a bit but understood.

" I.. can't.. I don't think I can raise more than 1 pet.. i already have one kitten at home anyways..sorry.. " you mumbled , staring at the floor instead of Danny's face due to the fact you were afraid to be faced with disappointment.

" Ah no , it's understandable! By the way , can I please meet your kitten?? " Danny suddenly spoke , brightening even more like he isn't the sun to your world. You stared at him for a second before nodding.

. .

" Wah.. seriously , this- is such a big house! " Danny exclaimed , stepping into your house which was probably a million times bigger than his own..

" So.. where's your- " a small , very small figure was seen running as fast as it could , and in the blink of an eye , it was gone , Danny stared at the space where he swore he saw something move , but tried ignore it. That's when you suddenly walked towards- or well , behind the area where Danny swore he saw something run behind , and pulled back a- kitten? 

" mee-ooww... " She let out , the kitten was probably disappointed that she couldn't hide better enough , Danny stared before letting out the loudest shriek out of awe.

" YOUR KITTEN'S SO—ADORABLE! " Danny spoke , immediately going to hug the kitten , you stared , alarmed as you tried earning Danny about the fact that the kitten's pretty agressive- " Hey!- "

..... Nothing happened? To your surprise , the kitten was actually pretty happy in Daniel's arms , meowing and purring like that one time you had fed her food which was more expensive than your own.

" Aww... She's so cute.. have you decided a name yet? " Danny suddenly asked , you were about to answer but quickly closed your mouth. Now thinking about it.. whenever you called the kitten , you used words like ' hey ' or ' oy.. ' , never ever have you actually used a proper name or even thought of one..

Realising your silent , Danny returned a awkward smile of his own , he seemed to realise you hadn't picked out a name for her..

" Well.. i have many recommendations but.. I think it will be better if you name her yourself. It's your kitten anyways. " Danny spoke , smiling brightly as he held the kitten in his arm , you stared for a second before nodding to yourself.. that's when Danny suddenly noticed something.

" Ah.. she has a back leg missing.. poor girl.. " Danny mumbled , comforting the kitten as the kitten herself meowed and purred..enjoying the comfort way too much.

" .. " you stayed silent , perhaps.. thinking of yourself or a past unfortunate incident.

. .

" Seriously.. why'd he have to send me here instead of coming himself?? " You mumbled to yourself , as you stared at your phone then at the streets infront. All written in a particular language.. Japanese . 

You recalled the memory of why you even were here... It was surely an annoying one.

..

" C'mon! Your a big guy now , Little [Name]! Surely you can go and get something for me in Japan?? " Gapryong spoke , grinning like an idiot as he awkwardly begged you to go to Japan and get something back for him.

" why can't you go yourself? " You asked , looking even more grumpy as you closed your phone.

" i mean.. not that i care but.. uh.. I kinda have people going after my ass in Japan , i mean..of course I can defeat them all easily! But.. it's still annoying so.. nobody knows you anyways! So could you go???? Please???? " Gapryong exclaimed , looking as heartbroken as ever as he talked about Japan.

" ..by people in Japan.. do you mean that Yamazaki syndicate of the Yakuza or something? " you asked , raising an eyebrow as Gapryong nodded sheepisly.

" well.. my other.. "friends" could go , but they are probably already recognised by them and it will only annoy them further.. but I'm pretty sure no one will recognise you! I mean.. you teleported here after I had fought with..you know. And besides , your strong enough to defeat all of them combined! Unless.. well.. no way Shingen Yamazaki's gonna find you himself , right ? " Gapryong spoke , smiling as brightly as he could. You stared at him for a second before replying.

" Fine. But if a news headline goes out saying ' 10-11 year old found dead in Japan.. ' , just know that's me and that's your fault. " You spoke , groaning as you got up , stretched a bit and soon walked away.

" Phew.. " Gapryong soon let out a sigh..

..

You stared at the weird map on your phone , so you walked and walked till you found yourself in a creepy ass old empty ground like space. You stared at the surroundings , confused. There were no stores that contained what that old man wanted.. hell , there wasn't even any stores here to begin with. 

Glancing to your phone , you soon realised you were holding it upside down. Oh.. so that's why the words also looked weird. And.. that maybe also explained why you were met with so many dead ends.

Suddenly , you felt something- someone. Try and attack you from behind , you dodged. But barely , the man managed to get a scratch on your left cheek. You panted slightly , shaken from the sudden attack.

" You.. do you know Gapryong Kim? " The voice asked, the language was foreign to you , but not foreign enough for you to not know.. Japanese, it seemed.. raspy and kinda old. Like the man hadn't spoken for days. You glanced at him.. long black hair.. some strands of it falling onto the man's face.. his face was sharp. His clothes were black robes.. which kinda reminded you of funerals..perhaps this man was going to a funeral? Well...he looks more like he's the one who people are attending the funeral of.

" ..how do you know Gapryong- " you replied in japanese , eyes squinting slightly to make sure you don't miss any attacks- 

Swish!—

You froze. You touched the right side of your neck slightly. A deep wound , if it had been anymore deeper than that , then you probably would have been dead.

" That's all I need to know. " The man mumbled, you turned your head to slightly face him , he also turned his head to face you , ready for another attack.  That when you noticed it- that old man's eyes. They weren't normal.. at all... That's when you remembered. Reversed eyes , or more over known as Ultra instincts. 

You stared at the man , that's when you remembered that one time Gapryong was describing some of his enemies from the yamazaki syndicate- .. didn't that old man say he wouldn't appear!? Why the hell is he even here!? The fucking Tora oni- That shithead known as-

. .

" Shingen.. wants to go take a walk.. outside?" Shintaro spoke , staring up from the piece of paper he was previously writing on to stare at the servant infront.

" yes.. he told me that he would be back in an hour or so.." the servant replied , bowing down slightly to avoid the gaze of Shintaro Yamazaki .

"  Hm.. that would be the first time he actually decided to leave after that incident with Gapryong Kim.. " Shintaro mumbled to himself. " But maybe it's better if he decides to walk inside the quarters of- "

" Uh.. i think he already left.. " 

" ..seriously? "

" ...yeah. " Shintaro stared at the servant before groaning. How would people react to a giant depressed looking guy anyways? What if there are gangsters roaming around who knows the Tora oni-..

" ..let's hope he's as manageable as he was in the past for these small things.. " Shintaro mumbled before returning back to his work.

. .

..Shingen Yamazaki , the man who was defeated by Gapryong Kim back in the generation 0.. but- why the hell was he targetting you!? You weren't even born when these 2 fought! So what the fuck was going on!?

. .

" Brother. I'd like to inform you a bit about Gapryo- "

" Don't you dare speak even the slightest bit related to that man. " A voice answered back to Shintaro , who sighed in return , he stared at the man infront of him. Shingen Yamazaki , his older twin brother.

" I'd only like to inform you about this new kid of his- "

" He's a womanizer. Why should I care about another kid he had out of a random woman he probably doesn't even remember? " (says you..) Shingen spoke , staring directly into Shintaro's eyes with his UI.

" Well.. this kid's a new case. The spys in Korea said that this kid is treated well by Gapryong.. unlike his other off-springs. It's also said that kid has chances of passing Gapryong's prowess.. and also the fact that this kid , isn't Gapryong's. " Shintaro continued. Staring back into Shingen's eyes. Shingen stayed silent. Would the kid be a threat in the future? But even so , he despises hearing anything related about Gapryong. But he let Shintaro continue.

" The kid is about 10-11 years of age by now.. around 1 year younger than Young Master Gun. He has—.. "

Shintaro's voice soon drowned in Shingen's ears yet Shingen could still make some words out. The kid's height.. hair colour.. skin colour.. every single bit related to the kid which described him. He wondered , what could he even make of this information.. not like.. he would meet him anyways. 

. .

" Your.. the kid whose said to soon passing Gapryong's prowess..? ... Bullshit. You don't match even a bit of his power. " Shingen continued in japanese as he kept attacking and you kept (trying to..) dodge. You were definitely shaken up.

" ..well I'd like to ask what the Tora oni who had been soo depressed after his defeat after fighting with Gapryong Kim is doing here , in this green grassy- "

" ACK!?— " You suddenly felt a fist connecting to your chest. You were pushed back. Far back. You clutched your chest as you fought the urge to pass out.

" ..huh. you survived that? .. perhaps you might be able to match 5 percent of Gapryong's power after all. " Shingen mumbled in japanese , staring at you , still clutching your chest you groaned.

Shingen froze for a second when he felt something pass by him in high speed. He glanced at his own chest. Now painted with deep claw marks , which almost managed to reach his bones. He slowly ran a finger through the wound , before speaking up.

" Animal instincts.. .. was I informed wrong? Are you not Gapryong's protege, but Tom Lee's? Though these attacks did seem more.. refined than his. " He asked , staring directly at you despite not even looking back. You could feel his power , your hands and legs trembling. 

" ..protege? I'm not one's protege but my own, old hag." You replied in japanese , groaning as you clutched your chest. It still hurt due to the punch Shingen had thrown previously. Fuck.. what was a man in his late 40s to early 50s doing attacking some 11 year old!?.

. .

Both of you were battered up..but it was obvious who was winning. Shingen Yamazaki.. that calm and bored look was still available on his face.. like the deep and life threatening claw marks like wounds weren't doing anything to him at all.

Whereas on the other hand.. you looked like you were dying. Blood rushing out of every single wound or scratch on your body. Hell , you had even resorted to Heat mode and that also didn't do shit to Shingen. 

" ..your.. interesting , kid.. Both animal instincts like Tom Lee and Heat mode like Jinyeong Park.. speed that matches that Elite.. and strength that could par up with Gapryong in the near future.. " Shingen muttered , staring at you before suddenly walking towards you. You couldn't even walk or crawl away , too exhausted to do so. You couldn't even feel your legs.. that's when Shingen lifted his foot , suddenly putting it on your right leg. You stared , wide eyed. Before awkwardly smiling and speaking.

" fucking old man.. do you go around beating up random kids..? " 

C-RACK!—

You let out a hiss— too exhausted to even scream. It hurt. Itr truly hurt like hell. You glanced at your right leg , which was already so butchered up before.. but now , it looked so bashed in.. like a damn pancake. Blood gushing out every fucking directions.. Maybe that was why you passed out.. your eyes slowly dropped , your vision starting to blur as you felt yourself slowly and surely falling.. are all yamazaki people like this..? Going around.. beating kids who aren't even teenagers ...

. .

You groaned , your head was spinning as you slowly tried to stand up...glancing at the grassy field around you and the sky which was before bright and blue.. now dark. Fuck.. you were still here.. and with life-threatening injuries that could have killed any normal person...but hey , you aren't a normal person! 

You glanced at your phone. Which was cracked , but not that cracked that it didn't work.. you glanced at your leg.. cringing as you thought of how you could even get back.. you quickly typed in-

Hospitals near me— multiple answers popped up , but the closest one was a private one that probably was pretty expensive.. but you couldn't think straight. You slowly stood up- or tried to , your left leg was also not that alright. It had injuries that basically also screamed broken yet you still tried to walk- or well , hop. Every single bone in your body was probably almost broken. You touched your left eye.. did it's nerves pop or something? You wondered..

. .

" I need a doctor. Immediately. " You spoke , slamming your hand onto the counter as the receptionist infront didn't even pay attention , only focused on her phone.

" Mhm.. yeah , kid.. listen , we have a lot of- " she finally looked up , she stared at your condition, then at your brutally bashed in leg and let out a loud-

" AHHHHHH!?— WHAT THE- ARE YOU OKAY!? "  She yelled , abruptly standing up as you have her a look that said ' obviously not.. ' , after a while , you were quickly taken into the emergency room.. you made sure your phone was safe and sound , as all the money needed for this damn hospital visit and other necessities were in it anyways..

 . .

You woke up with a painful headache , glancing around , you seemed to realise you were in many bandages and probably a lot of scars on your chest and rib cage area as well.. you glanced at the doctor's , a nurse who was sitting besides you noticed you were awake..

" Kid.. it's a miraculous you even managed to survive whatever had happened.. your bones were brutally broken and smashed probably into multiple pieces.. especially your leg's bones.. those were- gosh.. i can't even describe it.. " she mumbled in japanese , almost gagging as she thought of your injuries due to how gorey it was..

" About the money.. it's alright your just a kid maybe i can just- "

" ..i have my own.. " you mumbled , swiftly opening up your bank account on your phone and showing it to her , she stared , wide eyed , but not couse of the huge amount of money you had on your bank account- but couse of the fact that-

" H-how can you move your hands despite those injuries!? " She asked , looking concerned as you stared at your own hands which were bandaged up in a cast.. you shrugged simply.. you had forgotten that old hag had also broken your arms..

. .

" animal instincts users generally focus more on their hands due to the fact that's how they claw their opponents.. it'd be sad if your arms broke then , wouldn't it. " 

. .

You shuddered even hearing about it , seriously.. what a fucking sadist was that bitch? You sooner or later paid for your own health care and were discharged in just a week..

" ..seriously.. how the hell did your bones recover so fast..? " The nurse asked , staring confused at you , you simply shrugged in return.. it was just.. a speciality of yours , you supposed.

" Oh and.. I'm also sorry for the.. loss of your right leg.. " The nurse suddenly mumbled , looking concerned for you, you simply stared at your right leg , the lower part.. preferably below the thighs ahem.. anyways , it was now in metal.. you sighed , it was definitely going to be a obstacle in your fighting career.. but you can deal with it.

. .

You soon got the ' important thing ' that Gapryong so desperately fucking craved. It was some random fucking alcohol that wasn't even that expensive.. you slammed the bottle infront of Gapryong's face.

" Woah.. no need to be that aggressive kiddo- " Gapryong spoke , awkwardly smiling as he tried to calm down the situation. Elite- Charles simply just sat across him , an eyebrow raised as he seemed to notice your posture was.. a bit different. Jinyeong was outside.. playing with Jake , while Tom Lee was already drunk on some booze you had brought from Japan.

" All that.. for a fucking alcohol!? " You spoke , looking more annoyed than ever. 

" All what for- "

" I lost a leg. " You spoke , causing Gapryong and even Charles to freeze for a second..

" You.. lost.. your leg!? " Charles spoke , abruptly standing up , as he glared at Gapryong , as it was basically , directly or indirectly Gapryong's fault.. whole on the other hand Gapryong did look guilty.

And for some reasons , despite Tom Lee already being drunk as hell , he seemed to realise and also glare a bit at Gapryong before trying to joke and calm the situation down. Seriously. Some fuckass adults these are.

. .

" —me].. "

" [Na—.. "

" [Name]! " Danny exclaimed , suddenly interrupting your thoughts , causing you to slightly jump but sigh as you stared back at him , you stared and suddenly flashed an awkward smile.

" ..sorry.. " you spoke , Danny stared. With eyes that were as wide as they could be. This was the first time he actually saw you smile , so it's understandable.. 

" Ahem.. well- uh- i better get going!— " Danny suddenly exclaimed , his face kinda red as he quickly ran out of your house , your kitten stayed on the ground , staring at Danny who just ran away. Looking equally as dumbfounded as you did..

".. i.. forgot to ask him if Daniel actually joined that modelling agency- " you mumbled , gently petting your kitten's head , you sighed before laying down on the floor of your home.. that was a hell of a day anyways.. you wanted to forget those feelings yet kept remembering. Perhaps it was just not forgettable. Sheesh.. UI users did piss you off.

. .

Chapter Text

" woah.. whose this? " 

A voice spoke up , it was Goo. He held up a picture which contained Charles , probably before he had betrayed the fist gang , or in the middle of the planning , though it wasn't just a normal picture , it was with another person , a kid to be exact. 

" Are you snooping around Charles' stuff again. He said not to do that. " Gun suddenly interfered , he was sitting in the corner, playing on a game console that Goo had recently brought.

" Psshhh... It's his fault for living in this crappy apartment. " Goo replied , snooping through even more boxes of old stuff Charles owned. " Hey James! Do you know who this kid is?? I mean , your the one whose been with Charles the longest anyways. " Goo asked , pointing to the kid in the picture.

" ..eh? I don't think so " James replied , sucking on another lolipop which was definitely strawberry flavoured.

" Seriously.. sheesh! Is this kid someone he killed?? Couse he's a coldhearted asshole " Goo spoke , eying the picture of the kid.. " Ironic coming from someone like you.. " Gun mumbled , not caring enough to look up from the game Console he had stolen from Goo.

" I let you play on my game Console , which i brought with MY MONEY . And that's how you treat me!?!? Seriously man! Fuck you! " Goo swiftly replied , groaning as he suddenly saw another picture. This one contained the same kid.. but not only with Charles , but also the other figures. Jinyeong Park.. Tom Lee.. and even Gapryong Kim . The kid in the picture did seem younger than the first picture.

" Sheesh man.. this kid must have had it easy! Was he another one of that old hag's kids or somethin?? Surprising he actually got attention from him " Goo spoke , laying down on the floor as he stared at the picture. James looked at Goo and then at the picture he held.

" I don't think so.. pretty sure he had around __ kids.. and that's not one of them. " James spoke , suddenly , someone stepped into the house. It was Charles. Upon noticing his stuff was all across the room, he groaned.

" Goo. What did I tell you about touching my stuff. " He spoke , looking more annoyed than he usually didn't with Goo. While on the otherhand , Goo just shrugged. Instead , he pushed up the photo up to Charles' face.

" Soo, whose this mysterious kid?? " Goo spoke , grinning as he shoved the picture even more onto Charles' face. In return, Charles stared for a second , his eyes slightly darkening before he sighed and grabbed the picture himself.

" [Name]. " He simply replied.

" [Name]?? " Goo spoke , more like a question.

" So.. the kid's name is [Name] , huh? " James spoke , smirking slightly at Charles who simply nodded in return.

" Why do you look so gloomy??~~ is the kid dead or somethin?? Like your dead wi- " Charles glared at Goo , who immediately shut up but sighed and just laid down in defeat.

" ..The kid's not dead. Just.. doesn't want to see me as much. " Charle simply spoke , staring at the picture in his hand. [Name]. You. The picture was.. something he treasured , even though he knew you didn't literally despise him.. but you also didn't like him either. How could you , when he was indirectly involved in the murder of one of your most favourite person?.

" ..Hm.. atmosphere's pretty depressing. How bout I go take a small walk outside? " James suddenly spoke , smiling as he stood up and walked outside , causing Goo to grumbled and follow behind. While...Gun just stayed , too focused on the game Console he had gotten or well- stolen from Goo. He didn't really listen well to the information those 2 were talking about anyways.

..

" Seriously!?!? Why do we have to go and so called test that kid!?!? " Goo exclaimed , groaning as he glared at Charles , who simply replied with a simple sentence, along the lines of..

" I just need to make sure he's growing. " Goo stared at Charles , a puzzled look on his face , while Gun was just.. staring , his eyes kinda dead like usual, and James was also a bit puzzled. It's kinda surprising whenever Charles is even a bit soft. .

" ..and maybe you can also check if he's capable of working as my pawn. " Charles quickly continued , staring at Goo who let out a simple ' Oh~~ ' , as if he had understood. While James still had a bit of a confused look on his face.

" ..soo.. I also have to fight him? To.. ' test ' him out?" James spoke , raising an eyebrow as he usually wasn't the one doing this , besides.. he still needs to defeat the kings at the moment anyways.. Charles stared at James , thinking a bit before replying.

" Well.. no. Just simply interfere with the fight.. to ensure those 2 don't die. Especially Gun , considering his thirst for fighting.. " Charles mumbled the last part , but he still got looks from the three.

" Your saying he's survive both me and Gun?? Pssh.. yeah right.. even Tom had a bit of a struggle with us-"

" I don't think he had any troub- "

" Shhhh Gun.. nobody asked.. " Goo snarled back , looking a bit annoyed but his eyes quickly travelled to Charles and then James.

" ..so , anything we should be wary of him? " James suddenly spoke , taking out the lolipop stick which he had in his mouth for a bit of a time and throwing it away.

" ..he's unpredictable. " Charles simply spoke.

" .. That gives no clue of how he fights?? Like bitch. At this point , just tell us how he acts. " Goo spoke , groaning as he rolled his eyes yet another time.

" Hm? Well— ..... "

. .

" I can't believe that old hag actually started describing that kid! Leaving not a single detail out too , bro! Like what the fuck!? " Goo spoke , suddenly grabbing a small rock and throwing it at a kid , then pointing to Gun who looked lost.

" ..well , if he's described as someone whose pretty.. cold , distant and stoic all the time.. considering the fact he's also a clean freak , he should have moves which are pretty predictable after a certain period of time?? " Goo continued , staring as the kid hit Gun multiple times but that didn't budge Gun at all. Instead , the kid was quickly thrown away by Gun and the 2 soon kept walking.

" ..i don't think it's that simple.. but it does make sense.. we'll just have to.. see for ourselves. " Gun replied , his hands in his jacket pocket as he stared infront of him.

" Ey- hey,! That's him! " Goo spoke , pointing out to someone who was staring into the sky as snow fell. Probably lost in thoughts..

" ..that was..quick." gun mumbled , before the 2 soon approached .. you.

 . .

" Huh.. animal instincts.. " James mumbled as he stared at Gun and Goo who were battered up with claw marks and pretty deep wounds. He stared at the space which was previously occupied by you , now left empty.

" ..Thought so. Charles did mention he was unpredictable, and animal instincts' one of the most unpredictable attacks anyways. But these wounds seem more deadlier than Tom's even.. " James continued , while Goo glared at him in return.

" I'm fucking dying and that's all you say!?!? Stop praising that fucking asshole and help us out for gods' sake! " Goo yelled out , groaning as he stood up. While James just flashed him a cheeky smirk.

" Never striked you as the type to be religious. " He spoke , smiling , his fang exposed.

" I'M NOT- UGH!? "

" ..he was strong.. " Gun mumbled , grinning like a maniac as he stared at his wounds.

" Eugh.. pervert.. " Goo spoke , grimacing at the sight of Gun. " Sheesh.. " 

James stared at the wounds that Goo and Gun currently had on their bodies.. he didn't exactly realise much about you , but one thing was for sure. You were strong. Annoyingly strong.

. .

" Wait wait- DOESN'T [NAME] LOOK LIKE THE KID FROM CHARLES' PIC I HAD ONCE STOLE!?!? " Goo suddenly exclaimed , looking up from his phone as he looked like he had just solved a case which had been cold for years.

While in return ,  Gun and James , now Diego Kang.. didn't seem as impressed as Goo himself.

" Mhm.. he sure does.. " Diego replied calmly , not even looking up from his phone , currently monitoring his own account and some fan accounts..

On the other hand , Gun just simply gave a look to Goo which screamed ' dumbass. '. Goo stared at the 2 , first at Diego , then at Gun. He let out a exasperated gasp as he suddenly exclaimed.

" You 2 knew!? What the hell!? Why didn't you tell me!?!? " Diego flashed a polite smile that didn't reach his eyes , a smile which was definitely not polite , whole Gun glared at Goo.

" WHAT THE FUCK!?!? "

Chapter Text

" Don't you think your a bit too obsessed with cars, ____ ? " [Name].. or well- you spoke up. Staring onto the huge amount of cars lined up after eachother. You stared at the person you were currently speaking to. Generation 0 , King of Incheon.

" Kinda ironic coming from you.. don't you get new cars every.. week , even just in a day? " He replied , slightly smirking as he stared back at you before turning his attention yet again , to the hoards cars lined after one another.

" ..I have to...I'm not going to drive a broken car anyways. " You replied swiftly , crouching down and sitting like any normal person does.

" Ah. I forget you crash your cars each and every single day.. what was your record by now? Oh yeah. Crashing the car after just buying it. " He continued , feeling sorry for the car's you had killed..his poor babies..

" ..they just don't run as fast as they should. " You replied , to which he gave you a look but quickly started whistling in an awkward manner when you stared back , or well- glared.

" Well , besides.. your a pretty good driver , so why the hell do your cars get banged up so often? " He spoke , suddenly- actually in thought. You shrugged in return, not knowing how to technically answer that question.

" ..hmm.. that's- "

" Dad..? " A voice emerged , alongsides with a few more footsteps. The man besides you , the king of Incheon of Generation 0 (Ikik..the title is long but I really don't know how to call him..)  stared as his- daughter , was seen walking towards him , alongsides with another kid with poorly dyed red highlights.

" ..Y-yeowool.. you called me dad!?!?! " He suddenly spoke , fumbling around with his words as he tried to process what had just happened. His daughter.. Yeowool stared emotionless at her father.

" ..I just wanted your attention." She spoke, normally... Men would think their daughters wanted attention as if to spend time as daughter and father! But K.O.I knew his daughter better. Yeowool definitely just wanted to get him to notice her , in a way that screamed she didn't care about him.

" ..well- oh! Jaegyeon? Your also with Yeowool huh!" He spoke up , smiling as he stared at the boy with black hair and red highlights. Jaegyeon Na as it seemed.. (I'm going to bold the he/him pronouns when I'm talking about the generation 0 King of Incheon from now onwards...)

" ..whose that? " Jaegyeon suddenly spoke , pointing to someone- which you first thought it was someone besides you but you quickly realised it was you , and not someone else.

" Oh that's- " He tried to speak yet he was quickly interrupted by you instead.

" [Name]. " You spoke , staring at the kid- he was around 14 it seemed so.. your also 14 , so why is he being called- anyways.

" ..[Name]? " Yeowool spoke up , staring blankly at you , yet you could tell she was intrigued and a bit confused by you.

" Ahem- This is [Name] ! He's a pretty good kid of mine!! " He spoke up, smiling cheerfully as he petted your head. He soon realised how Yeowool stared up at him , how Jaegyeon's eyes slowly widened as he stared at first at him then at you.

" Oh wait- he's not my actual actual kid! I meant it in a way that- "

" I'm his friend's kid." You interrupted him , staring at the 2 kids infront.

" ..you have friends...? " Yeowool suddenly murmured , staring at her father who looked absolutely flabbergasted.

" What's that- "

" I also can't believe the fact this man had any friends. " You replied , which caused Yeowool to nod to herself , whereas he still looked heartbroken.

You glanced at your watch , you thought you'd have more time but upon noticing your phone buzz , you knew it was time to go .

" Bye. "

" Hm?? Already? Dang. Bye kiddo! " He spoke up , grinning as he waved happily to you. You didn't know it would have been the last day you ever saw him . You didn't know not going to Incheon for a few months would have lead to.. that catastrophe.

.

. 

.

You stared at the bodies infront of you. Multiple people had fought to their deaths- and many were doing the same thing right now... What the fuck had happened to Incheon?

You walked , and strolled. Glancing at the people who kept fighting and even trying to catch you in it , it was confusing.. and concerning. Was he alright? Was speed alright? That's when you saw him.

Jaegyeon Na.. also fighting , he looked stressed. Eyes definitely had eyebags under them. He looked.. tired. You sighed , and in an instance , the man who was fighting Jaegyeon , no long had his head fully intact. Jaegyeon stared with eyes wide as the man infront of him soon fell to his death. He glanced at you. That's when he was suddenly attacked by yet another man.

" ..fuck- HELP ME! what was your name agai- [NAME]! " Jaegyeon basically yelled , groaning as he fought off the man yet again. You glanced at him , then at the scene around you.

" ..and why should I help? " You replied , not really waiting for an answer , but the answer you were answered with , was like someone slapped you across the face with a dead fish.

" H- He's dead. " Jaegyeon answered. That ' he ' was enough to confirm your worst nightmare. One that you thought you'd never see , due to the fact that man only loved cars and was not that big of a gangster.

.

.

.

" Sheesh.. what the fuck just..happened? " Jaegyeon mumbled , staring at the bodies of more than probably over 100 men all across the ground. All had.. claw marks on them and looked battered up. Those claw marks matched that of a brutal animal.. not of you. 

He stared at you , you didn't even have a single drop of sweat available on your forehead , nor did you look tired. You just looked.. deep in thought. A bit too deep in thought. You simply sighed in return. Getting up , no longer sitting on top of the pile of bodies.. you made your way away from Jaegyeon, he stared. Eyes as wide as they could be.

" Wait- your not- gonna help us out!? " He suddenly spoke up , reaching to grab your sleeve as if to pull you back but you swiftly dodged.

" .. no. " 

. . . 

" ..atleast hear the story.. " Jaegyeon mumbled , staring downwards , on the floor as his eyes looked..heavy.

" ..fine. " you replied , sighing. You might have promised to that man before , that you wouldn't go on a murdering rampage after he died , but you had never promised to not hear the story of what happened ..

. .

" So.. the.. Dark what society? " You asked , eyebrows slightly furrowing as you tried to comprehend what you had just heard.

" Dark crocodile society." Jaegyeon answered truthfully , sighing as he lied down on the grassy ground. You stared infront of you. Sighing. Seriously.. is that why people kept reappearing after you had defeated atleast 300 men? 

" So this dark crocodile society is aiming to get Incheon? " You asked yet again , Jaegyeon stared a bit into the void before answering.

" Pretty sure that old chinese hag wants to get control of the whole country. Maybe even world." He spoke , you were deep in thought- but another thought emerged as you heard what he had just spoke. Seriously.. trying to take over a whole country? Pssh. Whose stupid enough to think that? Though , that dark crocodile society doesn't seem small at all. Perhaps it might be possible if they have just that many members.

" How many members of speed are left? " You suddenly asked. Speed.. that crew was like a golden treasure for that man anyways.

" ..6." Jaegyeon answered , you stared , surprised at the low number.. only 6..? There were more than 100 before so what.. you sighed. It wasn't even worth it trying to guess..the answer was obvious anyways.

" ..I'm leaving." You mumbled , simply getting up and walking away from Jaegyeon , who stared at your leaving figure , yet never decided to actually stop you himself.. couse he knew, even if he got on his knees , you wouldn't stop.

. .

" Woah.. you have more allies than me? " Daniel spoke , stuffing his face with ramen as Jaegyeon scoffed.

" Of course. I sent alot of ramyeon to scout people.. also- what's that even supposed to mean?-" jaegyeon spoke , looking as uninterested as ever. Currently.. the 2 were at a restaurant in Incheon, owned by an elderly woman who looked like she would collapse any moment now..

" ..also, i invited my hyung! " Daniel suddenly spoke up , licking his lips after he just devoured the shit out of the ramen...

" You have an elder brother? " Jaegyeon asked , looking a bit surprised but not much as it.. wasn't really that much of a news that shocked Jaegyeon to the core.

" What- he's not actually my elder brother. We just met one day when other Daniel was working and stuff happened , so now we are pretty close! " Daniel spoke , grinning as wide as he could. Jaegyeon slightly raised an eyebrow at that.

" ..is he a cree- "

" Oh hey , Hyung! " Daniel suddenly spoke up , abruptly sitting up from his seat as he waved happily at the new approaching figure , Jaegyeon didn't even care enough to glance at the new man. Yet upon hearing his voice , he froze. He glanced at that someone- that was-

" ..[Name]? "

. . .

Chapter Text

You stared at the huge amount of people walking around , all occupied on their phones. Which was usually.. well , normal. But it was weird. The way they stared so intently and looked either more stressed or happier than usual. It was.. kinda concerning. But your not surprised , gambling. It's been a thing for ages.. probably since the ancient times. Though.. it didn't help that so many people were gambling at the same exact time , at the same exact place and pace even. 

" ..Daniel. " You spoke up , catching the attention of the boy who currently say besides you on the stairs. He seemed deep in thoughts but his thought bubble quickly bursted when you spoke up. He stared at you awkwardly before flashing am awkward smile.

" ..yeah? " He replied, scratching the back of his head with his hand like those typical cartoon characters do. It was a bit surprising to see Daniel out of all people be deep in thoughts. He was usually all.. sunshine and rainbows.

" What's wrong. " You directly asked. You had meant it to be a soft sounding question yet the tone of your voice made it sound more like you were a demanding boyfriend who was toxic and always kept asking his girlfriend about the smallest things she does.

" Nothing.. it's just that.. You know Jiho..? He has been.. kinda into this gambling website for a while now.. I'm pretty sure it's illegal as well..? " Daniel replied, looking genuinely concerned for the well being of his friend. You hummed in return. You glanced on your phone before suddenly showing Daniel the phone.

" This website? " You asked , expecting Daniel to nod in return but instead , he seemed even more concerned and even jumped a bit.

" [Name]! Your not gambling illegally , are you!? " He suddenly asked , causing you to stare at him for a second with eyes wide before flashing him an ' are you serious? ' look. Upon noticing your reaction , he sighed in return.. feeling relieved that was not the case at all.

" Uh.. it is that sight., atleast i think it is? " Daniel continued , smiling awkwardly as you stared blankly on your phone.

" ..this is clearly a scamming website.. not surprising since it's an illegal website anyways. " You murmured , sighing as you soon clicked off of the website and tucked your phone away into your pocket. Daniel was going to ask you something but he was interrupted when the bell suddenly rang. He slight pouted as you stood up from your seat and began walking away, well- not before you turned around to tell Daniel one last thing.

" Tell that Jiho guy to get his life back together before he loses his entire bloodline's money. " You spoke , your eyes still blank with no expression as you spoke. " Oh and , don't you dare get into that gambling shenanigans. Especially don't tell Danny- "

" Okok! I get it! You can go [Name]! " Daniel replied , his face slightly flushed as he waved you away, you stared  confused s bit before soon walking away entirely. His reaction was confusing after all..

. 

.

.

.

You were originally just put for a walk.. but found yourself infront of the convenience store Danny works at instead. You stared at the huge neon sign , contemplating wether to enter or not. And in the end , you decided it's best to enter instead of standing here for almost a minute and then leaving like an idiot. Upon entering , your phone suddenly began ringing , you stared at the party infront, which consisted of.. Zoey , Danny , a random girl who you are pretty sure is the sister of that one girl both Danny and Daniel like, That blonde haired dude.. Jay. You had learnt , Zack and lastly.. uh., a purple haired middle schooler?

" Oh- sorry [Name]! You were kinda the last person to call- " Danny spoke up , smiling awkwardly. You simply approached Danny behind the counter ,upon which that middle schooler was still sitting on. 

. .

Kouji stared at [Name] , his imaginary tail wagging as he got a whiff of the money you come from. Crystal stared at Kouji, her gaze unimpressed by him , yet her eyes soon travelled to you yet again. She seemed to remember you as the friend of both Daniel and Danny., yet she couldn't bare to trust you one bit. Your just a pretty boy.. probably the same as how Daniel is. Fake and pretending to be nice to someone whose lower than average in the eyes of society .. (My girl Crystal was kind of a narcissist in the beginning chapters..)

. .

You stared as the others began doing their own work. Gambling on that illegal betting site.. yet again. You frowned, bored to the core as you yawned. You watched as the others kept losing again and again. But you also knew better than to underestimate a certain purple haired middle schooler , who seemed cocky , sure.. but he also seemed to have knowledge that most adults don't. 

As the time passed, that middle schooler.. whom you learnt goes by the name of ' Kouji ' found a plothole in the site. Which completely gave them the upperhand. By now , you were bored enough , so you prepared to leave , well- not until you informed Danny of course.

" Uh- your already leaving? Well.. okay.. have a great night ahead , [name]! " Danny spoke , smiling gently as you felt yourself also smiling slightly. Lately , after these days , you had been smiling more to Danny. It wasn't alot.. nor did you ever smile that widely , but it was something. Progress.

" Huhh?? Your already leaving?? " Kouji spoke up , frowning slightly as he stared at your retreating figure , you simply nodded , your expressionless expression yet again , plastered on your face. Once you had left , Kouji couldn't help but let out a sentence.

" Sheesh., are all rich men quiet and distant like that? " ..

. . .

You didn't really care where you were going. It was kinda like a stroll at night.. am annoying one. You only felt that when you seemed to hear your name being called by someone whose voice.. well , seemed fairly familiar. You'll give it that.

" [Name]?? " He called out , upon glancing at the direction , you seemed to realise it was.. Vasco . Alongside with.. Jace? You hoped you got that name right atleast. But your eyes couldn't help but travel to the 2 guys standing face to face against each other. Clearly in a fight but had probably frozen due to.. well, you.

" ..haha.. [Name]? Fancy meeting you here. " A voice spoke up, an annoying voice. Gun. What was he doing here- you glanced at the man besides , the one fighting him , who seemed badly injured. His teeth were probably out at that. His legs seemed wobbly and he seemed like he was going to pass out.

" .. do you go around beating kids like your father..? " You murmured , eyebrows slightly furrowing as you yourself recalled some unpleasant memories.. that might have caused you to slightly catch Gun off guard as he stared at you with slightly wide eyes.

" ..my wha- "

" ..[Na..me]..? " The man besides Gun ,,the one fighting him to be exact murmured. You glanced at him briefly yet again , upon seeing his face , your eyes suddenly widened. Your body froze immediately. He looked exactly like that old man's youth-

" ..Gapryo- ..no... Jake Kim. " You murmured.. unfortunately for you , it seems Jake didn't quite remember you , and a bonus , he didn't hear you and just simply passed out due to the fight he had just had.

" ..what the fuck...? " Jace murmured , staring at the anti-climactic scene infront.. 

. .

You crouched down besides Jake , staring at his face. One that.. eerily reminded you of someone. Someone you knew and treasured before in your younger days. Gun just stared, his eyes staring right at you , who stared at Jake instead.

" Huh.. it seemed your bond with the kim family goes way deep. " Gun spoke , a slight smirk available on his face as he stared at you. " And here i thought I knew every single thing about you.. " he continued , smirking to himself , rather than at you. You stayed silent for a good second before replying.

" I never talked with Jake. But i occasionally checked up on him , just couse he was the ' legitimate ' son of that man. " You spoke , poking Jake's cheek, you slightly frowned as you stared at the fact Jake was kinda butchered up. You sighed. He's not him. You know that , but it still kinda hurts.

" .. why'd you beat him up? Was he that candidate of being your successor? " You suddenly asked , causing Gun to flinch slightly as he was kinda deep in thought about something , and you were the one who popped that thought bubble of his , though , he gained his composure pretty quickly.

" I disqualified him as of today. " He replied.

" ..why's that? "

" Illegal betting site. I told him to pay me back each month.. it just had to be legal. And he went against those laws. " Gun replied yet again, shrugging slightly as he put his hands in his cost's pocket.

".. so.. why'd you fight him? " You suddenly asked , your tone making it sound yet again like a possessive boyfriend or some sort. Even if the sentence you had spoken didn't exactly match that..

" .. didn't exactly come to fight. He just.. challenged me himself. " Gun replied , looking only tinsy tiny bit of guilty due to how you made it sound.

" ..huh.."

" ..speaking of fighting- [Name].. shall we fight to the dea- " 

" No thanks. " You swiftly replied, interrupting Gun and his fantasies of dying by your hands , yet again. " .. so that gambling site was kinda made by Jake huh.. gambling for.. what Exactly?.. " you murmured, you knew it was definitely for paying the money Gun ordered for each month , but you felt like there was another thing Jake needed this money so desperately for.. well , whatever it was , it was something you couldn't exactly place your hands on.

" ..[name].. you know this bad guy..?- " a voice spoke up , you and Gun both stared at the one who spoke those words. Vasco.. you had almost forgotten Vasco and Jace were still here, Gun was about to speak of somthing but was cut off by you.

" No. " You spoke , sighing as you stood up and simply left. Your heart kinda ached , but you knew , Jake was Gapryong. He was just., his son. Which was kinda enough to atleast relief you that atleast the legacy was still ongoing , you supposed..

. .

" So.. you met.. [Name] another time!?!? What the fuck!? " Goo exclaimed , groaning as he glared at Gun who was playing some random online video game. While James.. or well.. Diego sat besides the 2 of them , reading and scrolling through posts,

" Mhm. " Gun simply replied.

" ..ok .. your the one he avoided the most! So how the fuck are you the only one actually meeting him!?!? That makes no damn sense! It should be me!?!? " Goo spoke , kinda looking enraged at that fact.

" .. that is true.. he tolerated you the most, said that you were better than both of us.. well , in terms of annoyance , he supposed? " Diego spoke , feeling a bit heartbroken his future ally would feel like that way.. well , he hoped you would be his ally. Otherwise it will be a tricky situation for future him..

" I guess it's fate. He might really be the one who will end up killing me, not any of my students. " Gun spoke , smirking slightly as he continued gaming on his computer he owned,

" Fucking hell.. " Goo murmured , pouting slightly as he picked out a random fish out of Gun's fridge and slapped Gun across the face with it. 

. .

Chapter Text

" Yoohoo!~~ [Na-me]~~~ " Naoli spoke as loudly as she could , grinning yet again , like an idiot as she stared deep into your soul with her wide eyes which .. sure , resembled that of a cat. A cat ready to strike when the moment was right type of cat. You wondered if her eyes scared people more than whenever you glared at them.

"..what do you want .. Naoli." You responded , slowly taking your glasses off to wipe the lenses clean, that's when Naoli whistled slightly, causing you to glare at her , that's when she responded. " You look hot with glasses , but without them , you look like my just like my type~~ too bad your a man" she spoke , shrugging as she chewed on bubblegum .

"Isn't your type Bimi- " 

" SHHH— " Naoli interrupted you , yet again. Clasping both her hands on your mouth and she pointed towards someone with her eyes. Bimi Kim . Ah. You forgot Bimi sits right next to you. You supposed it was a good thing she was preoccupied with random guys around her , she had drastically changed the way she dressed after the school festival . Either it be the advice given to her by the women who came to the stall.. or it be the fact she simply wanted to change. Whatever it was , you felt happy. Couse Bimi didn't look like she forced herself to be like this. Instead , she looked .. happier.

Upon noticing how many guys were even surrounding Bimi , Naoli swiftly made her way towards her , gently— nevermind. She kicked the guys and most of them went flying.. ahem. She swiftly stood infront of Bimi , smirking widely. She.. felt and looked more like a mischievous cat. 

" Yoohoo~~ whatcha doin? " Naoli spoke , grinning like an idiot as she looked extremely smitten with Bimi.

. .

" Hey [Name]! " Kimso spoke , smiling brightly as he caught your attention. You stared at him , confused and intrigued as to why he had approached you , as Kimso mostly only approaches you to ask actual stuff that mattered , such as school stuff or more. That's one of the sole reasons why he's the top 1 of the department in your opinion.

" So.. are you participating? " Kimso suddenly asked , causing you to stare blankly at him yet again. Though , that blank look matched more of the ' what do you mean ' type of look instead of your usual expression look.. "oh.. didn't Naoli tell you? She told me she was going to ask.." Kimso spoke , looking as confused as you were , just.. confused on an entirely different subject.

" Ask..me what? " You spoke up , asking the biggest question which was roaming around in your mind at the current moment. Kimso smiled at you for a second before replying. 

" Sports day! "

" ..sports day? " 

" Yeah! The comics and art department decided to partake in the sports day event of J High this year couse your here! And also couse you kinda boosted all of our egos.. " Kimso spoke , smiling as his eyes flashed a look of determination, you hummed in return. 

" Sure. " You replied , you primarily did avoid sports day couse it was too 'exhausting' in your words.. (says the one who used to fight 24/7) , but you also knew that if you didn't attend the sports day , your department will definitely feel bad and worse about themselves. Sure.. you might have helped their fragile egos and ,ade them feel better about themselves after the school festival , yet you didn't make them fully fine. You know that most of them still depend on you as of the time. It might take a bit time , but your ready to make them all feel better as long as that can make them be a better version of themselves..

" Great! You should take part in the relay race! " Kimso spoke , his eyes basically sparkling as he stared at you , if he had a tail , it would be wagging out of excitement right now. You yet again, hummed in return, as if saying sure , just.. without actually saying it. " Great! You can be the anchor.. " Kimso announced , happily writing on a piece of paper.

" ..who'll be the third runner? " You asked , intrigued as you stared at Kimso , who proudly pointed to.. ah , Naoli? Which caused you to be a bit shocked , mostly due to the fact Naoli is a bit short.. 5'4 to be exact. Around 164 cm to be exact. But looking back now.. she seemed.. experienced? Sure , you have never saw her actualy run , but you have seen how fast she walks. Yesterday , you were a whole hallway away from her when she noticed you , and in the blink of an eye , she was right infront of you as if she had kinda teleported.. but you had shrug that off .

" I was thinking of being in the third spot couse I myself am kinda fast , but.. remembering that one relay race back in middle school, i quickly remembered how Naoli had pretty much dominated that field." Kimso spoke , smiling as he recalled that memory. 

" You knew Naoli back in middle school? " You asked.

" Huh? Well.. yeah. We weren't close, but we did interact a few times.. I guess those few times were a bit chaotic.. which made Naoli describe me as an annoying brother.. probably how we got our brother and sister nicknames back at that time. " Kimso continued , grinning like an idiot as he recalled the memories. " She was really fucking annoying. " He suddenly spoke , looking miserable as ever as he quickly fake coughed to easeup the tention.

" Alright , I'll see you later! Oh and- the sports day costume for our class will probably be— 

. 

.

.

.

.

" ..a prisoner outfit.. huh. " You mumbled , staring at your own bright orange outfit with even your name tag on it. You wondered who spent so much time making these outfits.. even going so far to make the name tags out of hand. You glanced at Kimso , who was wincing each and everytime someone barely touched his hands. Ah.. that kinda made you feel special until you realised all your other classmates also had name tags which we obviously hand made. Were you not special??

" [Name]! " A familiar voice called your name out. Glancing towards the direction from which the sound came from , you came to realise it was Daniel Park. In kinda like a bumblebee outfit? Well. . it was just a plain yellow t-shirt with striped black and yellow shorts and a new headband. 

" Are you participating in any of the events?? " Daniel asked , smiling widely as he stared at you , waiting patiently for an answer.

" ..yeah. "

" Really?? Which one? " 

" Uh..relay race.. i..think? " You replied , recalling- or we'll , atleast trying to recall what Kimso had put your name in.. 

" Oh! What runner are you?? " Daniel asked , smiling wider , just happy that you are in the same race as him .

" I think.. the last one? "

" Oh! The fourth spot? Then your gonna be running against me! " Daniel spoke , smiling even wider as he stared directly at you , not caring about the random girls who kept staring at him and even trying to get his attention . Well.. he kinda didn't notice them when he was so smitten with you.

" Ah..nice. " you replied , not caring much as you stared at Daniel , then at Naoli- ..she was just following Bimi like a lost puppy , or cat... Whatever it is , that's Naoli around Bimi.

. 

. 

.

" who do you think is gonna win? "

" I think it's gonna be fashion department.. "

" True.. they have Daniel.. but Zack is pretty fast too so- "

" Isn't Zack in the fashion department as well? "

" Well , he is but.. he volunteered to run as the last runner in the Beauty dept couse they only have one dude.. "

" Sheesh.. what a traitor! "

" What about.. the comic and art dept? "

" Eh.. [Name] can't be faster than both Daniel and Zack.."

" Yeah, besides the third spot for the comics dept is literally that shortie.."

" Lol. They are definitely losing.. "

You yawned as you basically glared at the people who were bad mouthing Naoli , you didn't care if they talked bad about you but hearing them talk bad about your whole department was another story. Seriously , who do they think they are.. if they are that judgemental , why not run in the race yourself? It was irritating. You seemed to know it was probably Kimso who was currently running , meaning the second runners were currently running. 

" yeah.. comics dept is definitely losing.. With that shortie in the run , it's obvious. "

" Pft! I know rig- "

...

" How the fuck is that shortie catching up with those 2 giants!? "

" She doesn't even looking fucking tired! "

.. Eli Jang and Jay previously were only competitive with eachother , well- atleast not until they seemed to notice the girl who was running besides them as well, she was obviously short , yet obviously caught up easily. So.. both of them began running faster.. so did Naoli. It was obvious all three were .. well , competitive. But it was obvious Naoli was falling behind by a tad bit. But that didn't really matter couse she soon caught up. Sooner or later .. the third spot runners , managed to reach the spot where the fourth runners were. 

And.. well , you began running , you were wondering if you should refrain from using your speed mastery as an advantage to win.. but you decided to slow down a bit , couse you knew that if you ran with all your power, this race will probably end in like a second.. Sheesh.

" what the fuck!? "

" They all caught up with eachother but [Name] doesn't even look tired or a bit exhausted like the other 2!? "

" Maybe.. the comics and art dept might win..? "

" Is this the redemption arc for them or somethin' . "

It was way too obvious who was going to win. And to put it in short.. it was you. You decided to speed up a tinsy-tiny bit at the end and caught up to the finishing line. The 2 contestants panted besides you , Daniel and Zack.. Daniel seemed happy for you , even proud if he might say so himself. While on the other hand, Zack seemed.... ... Uh , you didn't know how to put it. Constipated?..... Anyways..

.

After the sports day , the days went.. normally, almost boring if you said so , you didn't know what to really do , well- that was not until when you , Daniel and Duke were currently leaving the school , when Daniel was suddenly approached by a man. Saying that he was supposedly from the ' PTJ ' agency, who had came to see Daniel. Daniel atleast tried denying- until the man mentioned free food , which instantly won Daniel over. Upon noticing how Duke seemed shy and proud of Daniel , He suddenly recommended Duke to the man as well, saying he won't join if Duke didn't.. so, the man had to agree. That's also when Daniel realised you were also here , instead of ignoring you , he suddenly grabbed your wrist and spoke to the man from the ptj agency,

" I-i'd also like if my other friend could join! " Daniel spoke , smiling widely as he recommended you to that man from the so called PTJ agency.. you stared at the air, dumbfounded. Why were you being recommended?? What the hell was going on?

" Huh.. well.. your other friend is much better.. he seems better suited than that. " The man spoke , referring to Duke as ' that ' which irritated you to the point you wanted to punch the man but couldn't do so as you didn't want Duke and Daniel to be angry at you at all. The latter party soon left in that annoying car . It was annoying , but you seemed to notice how Duke seemed.. happy. He seems excited. Which was nice. Duke was a strong dude. He didn't seem to care what the other saw or called of him. Which soon did calm you down..

.

.

.

.

.

That's how you currently ended up at the ' interview ' or well- auditioning. You were currently outside, waiting for Duke and Daniel to finish as you didn't care enough to actually audition, you were here just to get Daniel and Duke. It didn't matter to you , idols..actors..  they might mostly be famous and happy.. but you know the hardships and annoying rumours which could end one's career. Besides.. it was too exhausting anyways.

. .

" Huh.. alright Daniel.. could you send that other friend of yours? He isn't here. " The man spoke , staring directly at Daniel and ignoring the latter , Duke.

" Oh uh- he told me that he didn't want audition .. he's outside but doesn't want tto- " 

" Doesn't want to audition?.. hm.. send him in.. we'll just ask some questions as to why. " The woman spoke, looking serious but it was clearly easy to tell that she definitely was smitten after Daniel Park after the audition.

" Oh but- " looking at the heavy ' glares ' from the staff and mostly the 3 judges , Daniel couldn't help but feel intimidated, that's probably why he sighed heavily and went outside to call you in. 

.

.

"..Daniel? Where's Duke. Let's g-" you were speaking , until you were suddenly interrupted by Daniel himself.

" Uh.. could you perhaps come in?? The judges are scaring me with their glares and they told me to call you... Sorry! " Daniel spoke , looking exhausted from the staff members as he kept apologising to you and that he didn't know what to do and that he knew you didn't want to audition but the staff and judges just scared him to the core.. you sighed as you patted Daniel's shoulder and told him you didn't care about it much.

" Stop apologising. It's alright. " You spoke as you soon entered the room , you immediately realised the gloomy atmosphere , the staffs and judges were kinda.. judging Duke as he sat at the corner, probably waiting for you and Daniel to enter.

" ooh.. that's Daniel's friend..? "

" Huh..seems like the typical ice prince .. kinda what we need in our agency , don't we? "

" We already have DG .. he's icey enough , isn't he? "

" Hm.. that is true.. but DG has a bit more of a warmer tone due to his hair and some of his songs and themes."

The staffs and some of the judges spoke. Whispering mostly about you and this so called ' DG ' .. all you knew about that dude was the fact he was a worldwide famous kpop idol. You had saw his face once.. he seemed familiar but not familiar enough for you to care.

" Ahem- so.. darlin' , why don't you want to audition? It's a great opportunity to- " one of the woman judge spoke , until she was ' rudely ' interrupted by you.

" No thanks. Not into this.. idol stuff. " You swiftly replied , staring- no.. glaring at the judges , looking .. annoyed.

" ..why not? You can get famous and be- "

" No. Bye. " You replied , yawning lazily as you scratched the back of your head and left , dragging both Duke and Daniel with you, ignoring the shocked look on the judges' faces as they stared first at your leaving figure , then at eachother..

" A-ahem.. uh.. so what do you think of those 2.. " the man , one of the judges' spoke.. fake coughing , probably trying to ease up the situation a bit as he spoke.

" .. Dg? "

. .

DG was first intrigued by the figure ' Daniel Park ' . His face.. body.. voice and down to the breathing , was perfect. Ideal for a fighte- .. an idol. It was interesting . That's when he heard Daniel had another friend who was also going to audition. He didn't really care enough.. Duke , the first friend of Daniel , who had auditioned first.. wasn't that special to DG. He didn't care about what Duke looked it, but he was only here for Daniel. So when that other friend of Daniel was mentioned.. he was going to just deny that friend to enter but when that figure soon did enter.. DG just stared , eyes slightly wide as he stared.. stared at-

" [Name].. " DG murmured.. staring at the figure , he couldn't help but smirk slightly , but he soon regained his composure. He knew he was going to meet you.. just not this fast. Butt he shrugged it off..

" So.. Gun did mention [Name] knew that kid. " DG mumbled to himself , he soon decided to ignore it, but probably couldn't get you put of his head. Have you gotten stronger ? He wondered. Were you strong enough to kill him without lifting a finger? .. well , he hoped not. That might make it harder for future DG.

. .

" Wah.. your actually not auditioning for PTJ agency , [Name]? " Duke spoke , walking besides you and Daniel as you simply nodded in return. " Why?? It's such a good opportunity.. " Duke continued.. appearing seemingly confused , too blinded by his dream to realise the dark side of being in the PTJ agency

" ...just.. not my thing. " You replied , sighing lightly as you walked faster , away from Daniel and Duke both. Upon reaching the exit.. you three were met with crowds and crowds of people , most with cameras and screaming that familiar name.. ' DG ' . Ah. So they thought they were going to meet that pink haired idol.

" oh.. didn't he enter through here?? "

" Wah.. those two are handsome.. whose that ogre between them? "

" Probably a manager.. "

Murmurs spread. That's when a new figure emerged , and the crowd went wild. Daniel and Duke both stared at the figure , with eyes wide as they could be. You soon stared at the figure. That ' DG ' . You didn't even know he was in this building., but hey. He seemed like the type who'd either not be noticed due to how distant he looks , or be immediately recognised in an instance.

DG first stared at Daniel.. as if he had came out solely for the reason to look at Daniel. That's when his eyes slowly travelled to you. And you swore , you saw him smirk and a fang flash for a second. Kinda like how that one shit head was like .. James. You stared at him... What the fuck? He had that same blank look on his face yet again... Maybe , it was just.. your imagination..? It was weird enough. Your day has been weird enough. So ignoring DG..

You dragged your 2 friends aside and walked away , yawning lazily yet again. All you wanted to do was get to your house , lay on the bed or even the floor , and then go to sleep as your kitten cuddled up with you. Seriously.. today was a rollercoaster.

. .

" ..so.. class C, huh.. " you mumbled , staring at the group who stared back at you in awe. Oliver , Lasol and 'Joy'.. you had decided to visit the agency just to check out Daniel's and Duke's ' class ' . Both of them had blabbered to you about the 3 other people in their ' class ' . 

" Uh.. yeah! You must be.. [name] , right? It's nice to meet you.  " Oliver was the first who snapped out of his day dreaming fantasies and soon spoke up , reaching out a hand for you to shake , he seemed.. friendly enough. So you shook his head while also nodding your head. You didn't even know if it was allowed for you to visit trainees in the building itself. Though you decided you wouldn't really be that noticeable.. right?

" It's kinda nice to have company , feels good to meet news people. " Lasol spoke , smiling as she also extended her hand for you to shake . " I'm Lasol , it's also nice to meet you. " She spoke , smiling as she patiently waited for you to shake her hand.. which you did. All of them seemed friendly enough.

" I didn't know Daniel oppa had such handsome friends~~ " Joy spoke , smiling at you , she kinda reminded you of how that blonde dude from Daniel's class looked , but you chose to ignore it anyways. 

" Isn't it the monthly evaluation for you all ? " You suddenly spoke up , causing the others to jump and immediately jump up. "We almost forgot! I-i'm so sorry [Name]! I-i think you might have to leave for now- " Daniel spoke , fumbling around as he tried every ways to apologise to you , you simply waved them off as they left, and sooner or later , you also began to leave— not until you suddenly bumped into someone.

" ..who the hell are you? " The voice spoke , looking at them , you didn't really recognise the man , but did recognise the girl. What was her name..? Aru. Yeah, Aru. The ' trending beauty ' of PTJ agency. " You aren't a trainee , clearly.." the man continued , while on the other hand , Aru seemed completely smitten , trying to talk with another man who had.. oh. Pink hair. DG. He seemed .. a bit shocked to see you as well , as he stared at you with eyes slightly wide.

" .. " you didn't reply , just pushed that man out of your way to make your way out of this shitty building , that's when you were pulled by that man back. " Hey asshole! I was fucking talking to you! " He spoke , you didn't reply , couse you knew sooner or later-

" Gosh. Leave him alone , we are getting late. What a shitty manager I have., " that girl , Aru mumbled , still attached to DG like paper to glue. The dude , you guessed the manager of Aru , scoffed as he cursed both you and her out while mumbling to himself , he soon left you alone. Seriously. Were all the people here weirdos? .

.

.

.

It was obvious PTJ agency wasn't the best for idols , but it produced many talented individuals , ranging from rappers to dancers and even actors. It was one of a kind agency which was pretty popular due to one worldwide famous idol , Dg. Yet you swore.. he looked just like..

" James.. " you mumbled , it wasn't right though.. James and Dg didn't look similar at all , yet at the same time , they did. Sure .. Dg is known to be a cold and distant idol , fitting in the ice Prince category of idols , while on the other hand , James was mischievous and sly , most of the times he either smirked or smiled. Never once have you saw him actually be serious when he was not fighting. Yet.. you couldn't help but feel as if though they were both related one reason or another. Another reason they don't look the same , can be said for their hair , James had black hair with striking red strikes , while on the other hand , Dg has pink coloured haired. Both of them kinda reminds you of a strawberry— ahem. But it's obvious Dg's hair is dyed. But you just decided that it was a coincidence.

" Huh? James? Whose that? " Daniel spoke , stuffing his face with rice and other food items off of the food menu off the cafeteria yet again, he was intrigued at whatsoever you were thinking sso deeply about . You stared at Daniel for a second before slowly shaking your head as you spoke up.

" No.. nothing. " You stared at Daniel first , who decided not to question you further and went back to eating happily, your eyes soon shifted to Duke. Instantly , the thing you noticed were the bandages on his ear. You stared for a second too long before speaking.

" Did you pierce your ears , Duke?. " Duke jumped slightly as he stared first down on the floor before at you and flashing am awkward smile as he replied. " No.. it's just..uhm.." .. he clearly couldn't find words in his mouth to speak.

" ..guess the person who pierced them must suck, considering you had to put bandages on them.. " you continued , staring at the bandages on Duke's ear, you didn't notice how Daniel looked as if though he was .. full of guilt. The type that screams ' why didn't I help? ' or something. 

" Haha..yeah.. " Duke mumbled , slightly touching his ear as he winced in pain. You weren't an idiot. And it didn't take a genius to tell what had happened. Seeing how Duke tried dodging the question of his ' piercing ' , the fact that he winced while touching his own ears and when he even jumped slightly at the question , you knew. That wasn't on purpose , his ears were probably pierced by a sharp object , not meant for piercing , and the person who did it probably did it without intention of piercing the ears , just the intention of making sure Duke felt pain. Was it that idol agency yet again? You didn't really know what to even say. Knowing that the question and continuation of that question will probably make Duke.. stressed , you decided to not speak further about it. 

" So.. Daniel, how's it like in that idol agency? —

.

.

.

" Haha.. I don't know if I'm allowed to bring more people but.. hope it'll be fine." Daniel murmured , whereas you stared at that building yet again. Seriously.. why the hell were you here a third time? You glanced at Vasco, who seemed extremely excited. Whereas Duke seemed.. nervous .

" Woah Daniel and Duke! It must be prettty cool to be an idol here! The building looks huge! " He blabbered on about stuff about the building and money .. mostly about how many choco milks he could buy for this whole building's worth. Whereas Daniel simply laughed awkwardly. " Woah, did you pierce your ears , Duke?? " Vasco asked , looking in awe at Duke.

" Ah no.. it's just.."

" That's cool.. im scared of pointy things! " Vasco continued , until- The crowds suddenly appeared yet again , screaming and chanting that same name over and over again..

" KYAHHHH— DG!! "

" omomomo!! Here baby! I'm here!! "

" Take me!! "

" He's soo hot and cool.. "

Simply when Dg was walking , he stopped besides a few steps away from Daniel, seemingly whispering something that made Daniel freeze and turn as pale as a ghost. He stared at Dg- or well , almost snapped his neck to stare at Dg. He asked and tried making Dg wait , but was pushed away from the bodyguards. That's when Dg suddenly decided to stare at you. He smiled , flashing a fang for a second before leaving.. .. was.. Dg... Some kind of creep going for high school boys..? ... What the hell was-

" OMG!! He TOTALLY smiled towards my area! "

" No! He smiled at me! "

" That's the first time he smiled since that challenge!! AHHHHH!!!— "

Chaos erupted , and all you could do was ignore the crowd , and follow Daniel , Duke and Vasco into the building as quietly as possible. " Daniel! Are you also going to be crowded with people like them?? What if you get.. kidnapped!?!? " Vasco spoke , shaking Daniel in the elevator , way too anxious for his own good. Daniel tried calming him down and sooner or later , he did. That's when the elevator door opened. And you noticed that way too damn familiar face yet again.. who was he again? Oh yeah., Aru's manager. If you recalled it correctly ..

" Hey punk.. not saying hello again? What are you , ignoring me? " That man spoke , with a scowl on his face as he looked even more uglier than he did before. " Clench your teeth , or you might as well loss them. " That manager spoke , raising his hands , ready to slash Daniel across the face- that's when the other elevator door opened , revealing Aru and another dude , who seemed pretty surprised , everyone was.

Vasco had stopped the manager's hand , the look on his face stern as he stared back, while you stood besides Vasco , infront of both Daniel and Duke, like a human meat shield.

" Tch.. who are you? A new trainee?.. you know Aru? I'm here manager. " The manager of Aru spoke , his face looking even more distasteful as he stared at Vasco , that's when he noticed you, he scowled even more. "That kid from that time? What the fuck are you doing here.. besides , who the fuck even are you too? " He continued, slightly wincing at how Vasco had gripped his wrist.

" Us..? We.. are Daniel's and Duke's managers. " Vasco spoke , glaring at that man , and so did you. Causing the man to slightly grimace under the glares of you two.. that's when Daniel interrupted you three, upon saying the man was supposedly kinda like a ' teacher ' , which you doubt.. Vasco seemingly let go of the man's hand. 

" Take care of Daniel please. " Vasco spoke , suddenly straightening his spine as like a lawful Student as he stared at the man , the man scoffed , wondering if Vasco was.. stupid or not, that's when he suddenly gripped Duke's ears , the ones who were ' pierced . '

" You want a piercing like this piggy too or something? " That man spoke , grinning like he had just won a battle of dominance, whereas Duke winced in pain , trying to stop that asshole , but clearly couldn't. You stared, only thing you felt was anger, who the fuck did the man even think he was? To forcefully pierce someone's ears without consent. That's a crime and it doesn't matter who you are.

" And Daniel park.. what did you say to m- " his voice was cut off when a strong fist suddenly connected to his jaw and sent him flying. It was Vasco.. Aru , on the other hand , screamed as she stared at the scene infront, even though she was the one who stopped the other dude form stopping them before.. just to see how it would go. You soon walked to the man and Vasco, scoffing as you kicked the man , not enough to completely show your strength , but atleast enough to break the man's ribs.

" So you were the one who did that to Duke. " You mumbled , groaning as you tried suppressing the urge to just rip the man into pieces , whereas Vasco seemed even more angry. " Never.. forget this day. " Vasco mumbled , before getting up and walking over to Daniel and Duke , and so did you. 

Aru screamed at you and Vasco as she inspected if her manager was atleast alright.. that's when she heard Vasco speak. " Daniel.. who is that? ..a female manager? " He spoke , causing Aru to suddenly ely freeze and scream at him instead.

" WHAT THE HELL!? DO YOU NOT KNOW ME!?!? " she screamed , whereas Vasco simply replied with a monotone tone..

" Nope.. never saw you..? " He looked kinda confused as to why she was yelling.. it was kinda funny in your opinion , noticing the bleeding on Duke's ears , you gave him some cream. " Put this on your ears for the time being.. then visit a doctor if you can't right now. Those seem., infectious. " You mumbled , Duke simply accepted the cream and nodded slightly while smiling. Today was.. both a bad day and good day.

You still can't get it off of your mind., Dg.. was.. he actually a creep who went after highschool boys?? Just what the fuck did he say to Daniel? Well.. uh.. maybe James really might be connected to DG., who knows. It might remain a mystery until the very day you die.

.

.

.

.

You stared at the idol agency's building yet again, you were here the third time, for what? Even you didn't remember, you were just dragged by Vasco and till here , where Daniel , Oliver , and Lasol seemed the most shooken and a bit nervous , the rest of the class C was there as well.. for what ? Who knows. Though you couldn't just ignore..

Gun. Who smirked at you. " You.. we meet again.. " Vasco mumbled towards Gun , catching his attention quite easily as Gun smirked at him as well. Vasco basically either glared at Gun.. or just stared. It was.. a tense atmosphere.

" You can go with them.." Gun spoke , directed towards.. the girl who was Crystal's older twin sister. Was her name Crystal as well? You seemed to forget. " What? But- " 

" Don't worry.. with those 3.. it'll be fine. " Gun spoke , gesturing towards Daniel , Vasco and you. His eyes staring at you for a second longer than usual before he got in his car, and preferably , sped away. .. you still didn't know what was going on , and also didn't want to ask due to how tense the atmosphere was.. it was almost gloomy.

.

.

.

You stared at the scene infront. Glancing at Aru , who had a coat up to her chest , trying to hide the fact she was in almost nothing , but her undergarments. You frowned. It was easy to tell what was going on here due to the fact Aru looked..shooken . Not something she would look like if she had consented. A nude shoot. Sheesh. You knew Aru wasn't the best person , but even so, she didn't deserve anything likeed this.

" Crystal.. and Class C? " The men — to be exact, the one with the glasses spoke, staring at you all, preferably ignoring you and Vasco. " Hey.. your disturbing legal work! "

" Your illegally stopping our work.. "

" Haha.. incase you kids don't know, this is completely legal work. " The men spoke , looking as smug as they could be. Even though it was legal , it felt completely illegal.  " Or have you come to participate?? Heheh.. " they continued further , disgusting you even more. Sheesh man. How was this even legal.. trying to shoot a nude shoot without the actress's consent , and also touching her without consent? That's illegal enough.

" This.. this is a recording of your offer to me. " Lasol spoke , showing off her ipot , which was in the colour red.

" Lasol.. just think about it! .. are you single ? How old are you.. just think about it.. I will give you the 100% share. Just think about it! This is your change. Just think about us dating.. how long are you going to live like that!? " The recording continued, considering how long it had been since Aru was famous.. you seemed to come to the conclusion that this had been happening since atleast a few months.. or minimum of a whole year or so.

Lasol soon went to blabber about her friendship with Aru for a bit.. before speaking.. " I'm.. sorry my friend! " Lasol spoke , tears rolling down her cheeks as she tried to keep or atleast regain her composure. 

" I'll give you the recordings if you let Aru go.. we didn't call the police.. if we would have , then that would have been on the news and destroyed everything Aru has ever worked for.. if I release this recording.. you are done for. You both know how important this is , right? This is the only copy.. there are no back ups , so don't worry. " Lasol continued , glaring at the ' director ' and that random gangster besides the director. They both stared at Lasol before the gangster suddenly spoke up , smirking slightly.

" You have only one copy of the file.. and didn't think of calling the police? " He spoke , grinning like he had either just won the lottery , or won the jackpot. " Guys. Lock the doors. " He continued. Whereas , the director sighed a sigh of relief and smirked.

" Kids will be kids. They don't know anything. " He spoke , smirking as 30 more men , all with weapons suddenly emerged from the shadows . " Leave Crystal alone.. do whatever you wish to the others. " The man- or we'll , Director spoke, smirking slightly as he stared at Crystal with a sickening smirk that was enough to make people vomit.

" You.. with the beard. Good to see you again. " The man , leading the crowd of men with weapons spoke , looking pissed . You seemed to recognise that dude as the manager of Aru, you were you really surprised he had backstabbed Aru. He didn't seem like the reliable type at all , more like those wannabe gangsters who think they are tough when their not. He also seemed to notice you , scowling even further. " And you., with the glasses. Don't think your tough." He spoke , directed towards you , you stared , raising an eyebrow. This was amusing after all.

" You guys behave and hand that recording over. These guys are pros. " The director spoke , smirking as he gestured towards the crowd of atlast 30 or more men. You just stared.. pros? Seriously. Most of them weren't even holding the weapons they held correctly.

" It's too bad miss.. it's too late to contact the boss. No evidence will be left. " The man spoke , smirking as he referred to Crystal as ' miss ' who simply smirked.. " my dad already sent them over.. " she spoke. Immediately, both the director and gangster looking dude tensed up.

" What!? Who and how many!? " He exclaimed , ready to fight as well. He suspected it would probably be around 30 men as well, that's until -

" Two. " Crystal spoke , smirking slightly , that's when the director and gangster looking dude froze and suddenly laughed. " Only two!? We have atleast 30 men! " The director spoke , smirking.

" You can send your 2 little friends away., it's obvious who'll win. " The gangster spoke , grinning like he just won the battle that was always one sided. That's when they all suddenly heard a click , and the door burst open.

" Yeah.. it's only us two. " A voice spoke. " Hi? " A other voice emerged , and oh boy. Those 2 voices were way too damn familiar to you. Gun and Goo. Two annoying was- .. you stared at them. Not amused , that's when you realised. So.. Crystal's dad was Charles , huh. That's.. interesting to say at the very least.

" Huh- [Name]!?!? Holy shit! So Gun wasn't lying! " Goo suddenly exclaimed , almost approaching you when he was pulled back by Gun . Daniel stared at you and then at that Goo guy.. he seemed a bit., shocked. You knew them? Whereas , Crystal was even more shocked, how would you know Gun and Goo..? So much so that they have talked about you in private.. just, who were you? You simply his behind Daniel , not wanting to talk to any of those 2 . Sheesh..

...

The fight was a rollercoaster. For some reasons , Goo and Gun decided to fight eachother with- fucking traffic lights!? Where the actual fuck did they even get those !? (I was rereading that chapter and both of them were indeed fighting with traffic signals.. mind you , the shooting area had no props at all , so either they ripped those traffic signals out from the damn road.. or had them as spares since a long time..)  The manager of Aru dude had even tried to crush the recording , but didn't succeed due to Oliver. And later on.. Daniel was the one who attacked that manager guy. Copying Gun's move he had previously done.. catching the attention of Gun and Goo, both. 

After everything.. Crystal was the one who approached the ' director ' , aka also the ' CEO ' of PTJ agency , and told him that due to whatsoever her father had said.. that he was fired. Of course, he didn't belive that , and even Crystal's father was involved , aka.. Charles Choi. Just to avoid that old hag , you decided to wait outside , and sooner or later.. another figure went inside , DG , was it? You wondered why.

After a bit of commotion from inside , when you heard footsteps approaching , you seemed to think it was Daniel , so you stopped leaning against the wall , ready to call out Daniel's name , until you realised it wasn't Daniel at all. You stared at Charles Choi. Who stared back, besides him were ' the lunatic trio ' , you used to call them. Well.. now they didn't really look much like lunatics. Just gungoo looking like creeps as usual.. and so was Crystal.

" [Name].. " Charles murmured , before soon walking back to his car, whereas DG just grinned back at you , that same- sly grin that- ah. Considering how close DG looked with Charles , and the way he just- .. so DG.. was James , after all. You couldn't really say you were amused or shocked. James had once told you he was going to disguise himself after all this happened. You just.. didn't expect for someone like him to get- bright pink coloured hair . But maybe it's for the best? 

" [Name]!! Did Gun threaten you to meet hi- " Goo was speaking , before getting kicked by Gun from behind and two of them almost getting into a fight again , but soon left. .. Sheesh., did they become even bigger weirdos..? You didn't notice how Crystal stared at you with wide eyes. 

" he knows both Gun , Goo... Even DG and now.. .. even dad? Just., who is this guy.. " she thought to herself , before following her father..

..

" So Gun wasn't lying !! Honestly thought [Name] had left this country lololol " Goo spoke , flying a paper plane and hitting Gun on the head with it. " You were literally the one who tried looking for [Name] everywhere after he fucking disappeared. " Gun spoke , groaning as he ripped the paper plane apart , causing Goo to gasp dramatically.

" Hm. I suppose it's nice to see him again after so many years? " DG spoke , smiling as he stared at Goo , who just grimaced. " You shouldn't smile. You look creepy. " Goo spoke , causing DG to shoot him a glare instead. But hey.. yeah. I don't know. Perhaps it was for the better you avoided these 3.

...

Chapter Text

" So.. what have you named your kitten ? " Danny spoke , smiling as he cuddled the kitten you had previously rescued and were currently raising. " Ah.. name? " You replied , causing Danny to look at you with that ' are you serious? ' glare of his. Which.. you'll be honest , does scare you from time to time.

" Uh- uhm.. Mau.. Mao. " You suddenly spoke .

" Ah? Mao? That's such a sweet name! I'm glad you named her.. i thought you still hadn't named her after so many days of owning her , haha! " Danny spoke , smiling . "I had named my dog even before I had got her home.. she's really cute! You should come to my house to see her once! " Danny spoke , smiling as he petted ' Mao ' . Recalling the memories of his own pet like Enu had died , even though- she clearly hasn't.

" Oh- Mao reminds me of that one cat breed - what was the name again..? " Danny mumbled , contemplating deeply about the name, that's when you suddenly replied, "Egyption Mau?" , upon hearing that name , Danny immediately nodded , smiling brightly as he rubbed the belly of Mao.

" Yeah! An Egyption Mau! They are cute little thin- ..wait.. " Danny suddenly froze. He stared at the kitten for a second too long before at you. " ..you named the kitten .. Mao. Like.. an Egyption.. Mau? " Danny continued , looking at you with a deadpan expression as you stayed silent , clearly avoiding eye contact.

".. You also came up with the name right when I asked you , didn't you? " Danny continued even more , causing you to slightly back away as you avoided eye contact more now. " Uh.. maybe? " You spoke , kinda ready for a scolding , like how you used to get when you had tried to stand up to Logan that one time when Danny was getting bullied , but instead of being happy , Danny scolded you later on , worried for your safety.

" Well.. Mao is a great name.. but hey , [Name].. maybe , atleast spend more time deciding names. might as well find out you named a dog puppy once.. " Daniel spoke , whispering the last part , but it wasn't enough for you not to hear. Upon noticing how you remained silent , managing to avoid his eye contact even further now , he stared at you.

" You can't be serious. "

" I-i was a kid..? "

.

.

.

" you have a.. what now..? " You mumbled , staring right into Daniel's eyes , who looked a bit hesitant to continue , trying to obviously sooth the situation out by flashing an awkward smile. " He has a stalker. You deaf ass. " Zack interfered , his head was down on his desk , you almost forgot he sat next to Daniel considering the fact he mostly was either asleep or not even here. 

" Zack! Don't be rude! " Mira interjected, causing Zack to slightly jump but immediately obey like a dog wagging it's tail for its owner. " Sorry , Mira.. " he mumbled , before lowering his head onto his desk yet again as he soon went to asleep the 2nd time.

" Well- had a stalker! I'm pretty sure she's.. gone..? " Daniel continued , smiling like an idiot as he still , despite how severe the situation was , tried soothing it down. You stared at him for a second too long , before sighing. 

" Call me if things go too wrong. I still need you to take care of Danny. And..yourself I guess. " You spoke, sighing yet again as you stood up , trying to ignore how happy Daniel looked after you had said that. But you couldn't help but ignore the uneasiness he clearly displayed on his face as well.

" Oh and.. do you want a gun? " 

" .. a..what? " Daniel replied , looking confused as he stared at you.

" ..a gun."

" ..why..exactly? "

" ..to protect yourself? " 

" Well- not- really? Uh- isn't that a bit of a crime!? How did you even get a gun in korea- is it legal!? " Daniel's mind was suddenly full of thousands of questions , were you going to get arrested couse you were illegally owning a gun !?!? (Not Park Jonggun.) He was going to ask those hundreds of thousands of questions , but before he could even ask so the tiniest part , you were already gone..

...

" Wait a fucking minute- it's the middle of the class- what the fuck was [Name] doing in our department!? " Zack suddenly spoke , abruptly standing up from his seat as he tried to think of what had just occured. 

" SIT DOWN ZACK! " the teacher yelled at him , causing him to quietly sit down , but his mind still pondered.

..

You walked in the corridors , yawning as you suddenly grabbed a lolipop out of your pocket. You used to kinda hate lollipops back then- solely due to the fact someone like James was basically addicted to it back in the day, but hey.. Lollipops aren't even that bad now that you think about it , and now that you have also eaten many.. you couldn't help but wonder.

" So that's what Zoe was talking about. "

.

.

.

( Before that day in which Daniel informed you that he was getting stalked— )

You currently snacked on .. honey butter chips? You think that was the name. The taste wasn't that bad , but overall , you found it kinda.. mid. But hey , anything to fill your stomach up when your hungry like you haven't eaten for days is good, am i right? Besides , the price of the snack wasn't that expensive , it was pretty cheap in your opinion. Though , you had first tried buying more snacks to share with both Zoe and Danny who are currently at the store with you.. though , you were hit on the head by Danny , who scolded you for buying too much and wasting too much. So.. you simply got Zoe a gum and yourself chips. Zoe glared at you , whining about how she deserved more , but soon got lost in Danny's eyes like she usually does. 

You soon glanced over at Danny, who was staring at Zoe , so you started staring at Zoe too. The silence was., un-bearing. Atleast until Danny decided to speak up, " uh.. Zoe? Are you .. okay? " He spoke , causing Zoe to snap out of whatever bubble she was in , she suddenly slammed her hands on the counter , behind which Danny stood and you besides him. Before Zoe could speak however , you interrupted her. " ..if you are confessing your love , that's a pretty agressive way for it. " You spoke , munching on more of the chips before they soon ran out. Zoe's face turned red as she glared at you.

" You focus on eating those stupid chips of yours and leave me and Danny alone! " She spoke,causing you to just stared and perhaps raise an eyebrow, Sheesh.. were you that unwanted here? " Also, why are you so talkative now?? What happened to that ' ohh I don't talk nor do I show emotion.. I'm sooo mysterious and hotttt ' facade of yours? " Zoe asked , her hands still on the counter , you were going to speak, well- not until," Pfft!— " Glancing over at the direction of the sound, Zoe and you blankly stared at Danny , whose face soon flashed a deep red colour as he tried going back on his words , " i-i- uh- uhm.. i- sorry..? " He spoke , scratching the back of his head as he tried avoiding eye contact with the both of you. That's when you replied to Zoe.

" Listen.. Haneul . I never had that facade and never will. I just got more close to you 2 , is that a crime? ", The atmosphere was.. fierce to say at the very least. You and Zoe glared at eachother like 2 predators in the wild when both have the same prey. Zoe dramatically gasped , " Gosh!— Using my korean name like that against me!? Sheesh man. Get a grip. Not even my mum calls me that. " Zoe spoke , glaring at you as you simply shrugged and leaned against the counter , waiting for whatsoever Zoe was originally going to say , seems like Danny had the same idea.

" Oh yeaah .. uh so.. That girl , is she stalking Daniel? " Zoe spoke , her voice stern as she looked equally as serious , you raised an eyebrow , stalking? What stalking. And what girl was Haneu- ahem , Zoe talking about? , " I have seen her before..i didn't realise it at the time. But it's pretty fishy now that I think back.. do you think that girl went inside his house ? " , Daniel stared at Zoe , his eyes slightly wide behind those big ass round glasses of his.. he couldn't understand . How? No way. That's when the convenience store's gate—door—whatever you call it, was heard being opened, you 3 glanced at the direction, Zoe stared , her eyes showing an emotion which she herself couldn't describe, whereas Danny just seemed confused, it was.. who was it again? Crystallization? Oh wait no , Crystal— The older twin sister of that other crystal , if you remembered properly.

" Daniel. " Crystal spoke , her voice seemed a bit out of breath as she talked , like she had hurried to get here in time. You noticed the small exchange between Crystal and Zoe both. Man., what kinda love triangle was going on with Danny? And here you thought there were no competition to steal your best friend. Well.. guess a man can't live with a woman on his side? " Oh, Hello. " Danny spoke , " can I help you? " He continued , causing Crystal to snap out of her thoughts as she looked a bit shooken up," ah- " 

" Uh , Daniel.. do you have a sister? "

...

You glanced at the door , where Danny suddenly had ran out without a second word. Looking.. way too shooken up than usual.. you were originally going to run after him , well- not atleast until he suddenly ran without a second word neither from you , or himself. You sighed.. guess you needed to run the store for a bit. You grabbed a random lollipop , probably either strawberry flavour , or watermelon., both were red anyways , gambling with lollipop flavours wasn't the first time you gambled anyways, you just put a dollar note , one that was worth 10 times more than the lollipop's worth in the place where money was kept. You noticed the unbearable atmosphere between Crystal and Zoe.

" .. Uh.. [Name].. right? " Crystal suddenly spoke , staring at you , you simply stared back with the same ol' blank expression of yours as you nodded, Zoe scoffed , Crystal stared at her , confused.. did Zoe scoff at her.. or did she- " That ! That's the facade I was talking about ! If I had asked the same question your ass would have responded with a sly answer! " Ah.. so it was directed towards you. Crystal thought , though she did sigh internally , she didn't want another enemy in her life.. 

" Of course I would have replied like that , couse you already know my name. " You spoke , scanning items for the customer who was awkwardly standing in between Crystal and Zoe.. you soon packed the items up , got the money and smiled politely at the customer , the smile wasn't noticeable enough but you supposed Zoe and the customer were.. extraordinary? The customer's face turned red as they soon left.

" What the hell!? You know how to smile!? " Zoe spoke , pointing at you like she was a Victorian man who had just saw the ankles of a Victorian woman.. " of course I know how to smile.. just not at you." You replied swiftly , sucking on the lollipop as you scrolled through the snacks aisle couse you knew no more customers would come— Crystal watched the blanter between you and Zoe , her eyes slightly wide before they returned to their normal size.. she didn't know that.. you and Zoe had such a sibling relationship.. but hey , she didn't know much about you. She previously didn't even know who you were.. atleast , not until that incident with Aru and that forced ' legal ' nude shoot.

..

Danny soon returned , panting in relief as he slowly turned his head towards the store he works in , he stared. Bamboozled , why was.. the line to the store.. so huge!? Hell , why was there even a line!?!? Danny squeezed through the people to enter the store , where he found even more people , around the counter and the aisles.. only looking at one person and one person only , though.. some people:s eyes did travel to the 2 beautiful girls , but most were occupied by staring at .. you. Danny walked towards you and squeezed himself into the counter, where he found you just standing there , like a robot , still had that lollipop in your mouth though..

" [Name]! What happened ?? " Danny asked , clearly concerned if something bad had happened or so. You simply sighed as Zoe suddenly interrupted , " I vote to kick [Name] out of our circle and let him rot outside. " She spoke with her hand raised , Crystal let out a small chuckle , clearly amused by your friendship with Zoe, but Danny just sighed, still confused.

" ..i dunno. I checked out one customer's stuff and soon after , there was a line.. i guess? " You spoke , grabbing another lollipop as you stuck it in your mouth , savouring the taste before realising it was the flavour you absolutely despised. So you simply shoved that lollipop into Danny's mouth and took another flavour out, Zoe and Crystal stared at you 2, absolutely bamboozled. Crystal:s face turned slightly red.. clearly thinking of something she couldn't control , whereas Zoe spoke up , " what the- stop trying to steal my men , [Name]! " , Danny himself didn't even seem that .. surprised, as if it was just a daily Tuesday for you two to.. indirectly share saliva.,? Or perhaps a kiss. " What me- " you were going to speak , until Zoe suddenly interrupted you , yet another time. " First Daniel , now Danny!?!? Well , Daniel does stick to you more at school but- it's the same! " She spoke , pouting slightly as you simply shrugged , not caring as you stared at the crowd both outside and inside the store. Maybe , this was going to be a long night after all..

.

.

.

.

" Daniel , is Danny alri- " you were going to speak , well- not until Zoe decided to interrupt you instead. " Why'd you have to come with me to pick Daniel up to school.. you live like- 1000 states away! " Zoe spoke , causing Daniel to simply laugh awkwardly as you glared at Zoe. " Korea doesn't even have a 100 states , where'd you get 1000? " You replied , looking un-impressed as you stared at Zoe, Zoe scoffed , her eyes soon travelling towards the condition of Daniel's house..she soon pondered up the courage to ask, " uh..Daniel.. what does your mother do for work?? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to! " She spoke , her face slightly red , you wanted to say something but decided to stay silent.

" Ah.. my mum? She does a..  few little things.. " he spoke , scratching the back of his head as he looked.. a bit ..shy? You stared at Zoe , who was acting like that yet again. Sheesh , you knew she definitely misinterpreted what Daniel had even said. " Let's just go , Dann- ...Daniel. " you spoke , sighing as you dragged Daniel away from Zoe , who soon followed up from behind , you had almost called Daniel ' Danny ' .. perhaps it was couse of how same they acted and felt to be around , you sometimes forget Danny and Daniel aren't the same people from time to time whenever you aren't looking directly at them.. it's sometimes confusing .. could they be the same person? That was a dumb thought.. though , you couldn't help but swear you had felt yourself getting stared at by somewhere.. like.. from Daniel's house ? .. that was.. .. you decided to ignore it .

..

" Why do so many people know where i live.. I only wanted [Name] to know.. T.T .. " Daniel wondered to himself staring at his house , he seemed to notice a faint shadow , instantly getting a shiver down his spine , but he decided it was best to ignore it then pay attention.. I mean , the stalker's gone anyways.. right? .. right? 

..

" Why.. why is that slut hanging around my hubby..!? And who.. who is that asshole who .. who.. who touched him without permission..... " A voice rang out in Daniel's house. The woman bit her own nails before she stared at sleeping , basically passed out Danny , before flashing a creepy smile. " I know what to do.. "

.

.

.

.

You yawned , typing on your phone as you sent a message to Danny , patiently waiting for an answer.

You

I need help. How do I take care of my kitten , Mao keeps cursing me out in cat language. I know she is. Atleast i think she is? She's a baby. How do I teach her not to curse adults out? What bad influence is she going under. Definitely not me.

Sent.

Are you cursing around her? I hope not. Do you even curse? I don't think both you and Daniel have cursed. Atleast infront of me? Does that mean I'm not special? Ouch.

Sent.

You stared at your phone. Waiting for a responce, but when you didn't get one for more than 10 minutes , you got concerned , usually , the maximum time it took for both the Daniels to message back was 1 minute. Not couse they were chronically online.. but just couse they both made sure to never miss you message ever . And also couse they sometimes need a good laugh and your messages are mostly.. confusing but stupid at the same time. 

You

Hey. You alright ? What's going on.

Do you need help? Hey? Yo? Yoohoo.

Sent.

You stared at the screen. Sent , yet not read. Unlikely of Danny. Maybe he didn't charge his phone? Maybe he lost it. But you still couldn't help but be concerned, were you too.. paranoid? .. you groaned , getting up as you slowly placed Mao onto her fluffy cat bed which was also conveniently placed on your bed just to make sure if she falls down , it'll be in the comfy bed and not the hard tile floor. Mao slowly stretched her limbs. " mee—ow.. " she glared at you while she meowed. You stared for a second longer before replying.

" No cussing in cat language. I'm your dad , so behave. " you spoke , glaring at Mao , and in return , you swore she stuck her tongue out. You soon soothed her to sleep and made you way out of your house. Still pretty much concerned about Danny , and Daniel , both. Your mind wandered to that stalker both of them were talking about.. now that you think of it- you froze for a second. Before suddenly speeding up.

. .

You stared at the door of both the Daniels house , you panted , before suddenly kicking the door open- " Ack!— " a noise was heard , you stared at the person whose nose got hit by the door , Crystal clutched her nose slightly , but before you could register what had happened , you stared at the interior. What.. 

" The fuck? " You spoke , staring at the huge amounts of pictures of Daniel stuck around the house , alongside a poorly cropped in picture of.. a random girl? Who the hell was that and why was- " WATCH OUT! ". A voice rang your ears , you stared at where the voice had came from , Daniel. Tied onto a chair with his face pretty messed up , that's when you also noticed the same girl on those poorly cut pictures- running att you on full speed with a taser , before anyone could even blink , you kicked her with your right leg— CLANK! , pretty much instinctively.. Even your ears winced when the metal against skin action was made. Ah.. you .. accidentally hit someone with your .. metal leg.. you stared at the girl , who was twitching on the floor , the taser still in her hand as he lower abdomen already looked swollen.. Sheesh.. that's gonna hurt. You sighed as you grabbed the taser out of the girl's hand , she almost bit your hand! Damn, I guess that's fair enough..? 

" What the hell was that noise..? " Crystal mumbled , staring at you who stared at the electric taser in your hand , you teased the woman with it to slightly subdue her , even though she was already.. subdued? Okay , all in honesty.. you simply wanted to test the taser out , you threw the taser at Crystal for her to catch it , before going to Daniel and untying the ropes he was tied with. " Metal leg. " You replied , before suddenly noticing Danny , on the floor, passed out. Clearly beaten up , your eyes slightly widened before they darkened.

" ..what the fuck..happened? "

.

.

.

" Darling , Darling! Where are you!? " The woman cried , getting taken away in handcuffs from the police as her eyes travelled the scenery, it was late. Night time , you supposed, you simply glanced at Danny , who was on a stretcher , he wants badly hurt or anything.. which you felt relieved for atleast. " No , not him! The other one! " The woman cried , you simply stared at the scene.. it was bamboozling. What did she mean the other one? Did she thinks of Danny as her husband as well? What kinda crazy-

" He has two bodies! Slap his cheeks! , he'll change ! " 

... What? You stared , first at Daniel , then at Danny , come to think of it.. you have.. never actually saw them both together , at the same time. Well , you did but.. whenever you did , one was asleep... Well- it couldn't be possible.. could it? I mean.. a person having two bodies.. that's so stupid , right? .. well.. stuff like ultra instincts and heat mode do exit.. so why wouldn't two bodies of one person- .. gosh, this was making your head spin. You glanced at Crystal , she seemed,, equally confused as you , but in another way.. a way you couldn't really describe., this was going to take a toll on your mental health.

.

.

.

" Your.. not going to attend school for a week ? Why? It's the first day after a whole year tomorrow! " Daniel spoke , tugging on your sleeve as you simply ate your fries , occasionally putting more on Daniel's plate to make sure he ate more , couse sometimes , it felt like he avoided food but occasionally did devour them.

" ..I need to go to my hometown? " You responded , yawning as you ran a hand through your hair , " oh- could you take care of Mao? " You spoke , suddenly pulling up Mao from under the table , her mouth covered in the cat treat you had put for her under the table , Daniel stared at Mao , who was currently 1 and almost a half years old.. he stared, " what the- how'd you manage to get Mao inside of the- i thought animals weren't allowed inside!? " He spoke , glancing around as he scrambled to hide Mao.

" Eh.. snuck her in. " You responded , petting Mao who meowed back and even purred , but not against you , against Daniel , you glared at her for a second before your eyes turned to look at Daniel, come to think of it.. Danny and Daniel , might actually be the same peop- .. gosh , you need to get that off of your mind. " Well.. it might be a bit hard considering I have a dog.. but I guess I can give Enu to Jay for a week ! Besides , she hasn't visited her pups for a long time! " Daniel spoke , giggling slightly as he played with Mao.. others stared when they passed by , not even caring about Mao , just being in absolute awe as they stared at Daniel.. and even you, but you simply ignored them like usual. 

" So.. I'll see you in a week.. tell Danny to take care , you also take care. " You spoke , getting up as you had already paid for the meal , you ruffled Daniel's hair up before soon exiting the building , whereas Daniel just waved happily.

.

" Watashiwa.. " Logan Lee grumbled in his sleep , currently in his seat with his head down as Jay-gal stuck up to him. Logan suddenly glared at him and sooner or later , he went away. " I'm so sorry , my lord! " Jay-gal spoke , grinning as he walked away , smirking to himself.. 

The comics and art department. That's what this department is, the department's has had a good share of its ups and downs in the past , more downs than ups , but it had been voluntarily better when that guy had joined, the supposedly ice Prince of the comics and art department., hell , he had fixed up some of the students even , some of them including Kimso.. Naoli.. and Bimi. It was a sight to behold, yet how could Jay-gal know? He had only joined this year , despite acting like he had been here since years considering how much info he had just in a few days of work.. ( I know he's a sophomore and all , but I wanted him to not know you so I made him join only this year , I'll go more into detail in the end notes.. )

" He.. the ice Prince of our department .. when's he gonna return..? It feels .. gloomy without him.. " a guy whispered to his friend , glaring at Logan who was currently was scratching his own balls. " I know right.. that pog's ruining all of our days. " His friend whispered back , but both were rudely interrupted by Jay-gal who suddenly appeared from behind them , his face clearly annoyed and irritated.

" Hey! Who the fuck do you think my Lord is , huh!? Who even is this so called ice Prince of yours!? A fucking nerd!? The only fucking normal people here is me and Logan.. tch tch. " Jay-gal mumbled before walking away , sucking on a cigerate that he had been sucking on for God knows how long. Logan grumbled as he slowly lifted his head.

" Hey. Whose this ice Prince. " , he asked , his face clearly couldn't display the internal annoyance he was feeling. 

.

.

.

" Why are you so gloomy? " You asked , currently sitting infront of Daniel who sighed the 100th time , Zack grumbled as he slowly woke up from his sleep , jumping at the sight of you. " What the fu- when'd you return!? " He asked , wiping his eyes as he stared at you with wide eyes , " also- stop hanging in our damn department! " He grumbled , but even a single word from Mira immediately shut him up. 

" Hey. " Zack suddenly spoke , " your in comics and art department , right. " He continued , causing you to nod your head as you twirled Daniel's hair , you didn't miss that look on Zack's face, a determined one. " You better shut that new transfer kid in your class then. I still can't forgive him for what he did to Mira on the first day.. " Zack grumbled , his fist tightening up as he recalled the memory. You raised an eyebrow at that , soon speaking up. " A transfer student? " , Zack nodded, " what was his name.. Logan Lee? " , upon saying that name , you immediately realised who it was , but it still made you jump when Daniel suddenly stood up abruptly, his face in a panic as he spoke,

" LOGAN!? whe-where!? " Upon realising his mistake and the huge amount of people staring , Daniel quickly sat down , his face as red as a tomato . Zack looked at him , clearly concerned but decided not to say much. You stared.. Logan Lee.. Danny's bully , you call him more of a tormentor though.. he was a jackass. But why'd Daniel.. maybe.. huh. Guess that thought might be as correct as you thought. The bell soon rang , causing you to sign as you slowly stood up ,

" I'll keep him under control. Don't worry. " You spoke , ruffling Daniel's hair up as he returned a awkward yet relieved smile, whereas Zack just stared , like an idiot. " Why are you talking as if Logan's a do- well he is a bitch. " ..

You walked out , you hadn't noticed any of the new transfer student. Mostly due to the reason you enter school right when it opens , so nobody had even entered your classroom.. you place your stuff on your empty desk in the entirely empty classroom , and simply make your way over to your own department. Upon opening the gate and walking in , whispers and yelling suddenly started.

" FUCKING FINALLY HE'S BACK! "

" [NAME]'S BACK!! WOO!! LET'S GO! "

" ah.. finally. Logan's ass was terrifying us all.. "

Jay-gal stared , eyes wide as they could be. How could someone so .. ethereal , someone who looks like a Greek god.. be in this damned of a department!? What the hell was going on!? , he glanced at Logan who was grumbling as he slowly raised his head up. " M-my Lord! You should beat that guy up to regain your throne in this department! " Jay-gal spoke , looking excited but also nervous , yet all that went away and was soon replaced with confusion as he stared at the bamboozled and.. scared looking on Logan? 

" ..[na..me].. " Logan murmured , upon hearing your name , you turned your head towards Logan and walked up to him.  Simply sitting down infront of him with your face facing Logan himself. " Ah. I'm [Name]. Your Logan. " You simply spoke , your face as blank as ever as Logan stared back with a terrified look. He couldn't .. he just couldn't forget the last day you attended school. The last day that pikachu attended school- the same day you waited for everyone to leave until- it still spent shivers down his spine.

" HEY! Who the fuck do you think you are!? This is MY lord! The top dog of this department! You might had been the one who ruled before.. but now.. It's!- " Jay-gal was hit across the face as a fist connected to his jaw , it was Logan himself . Looking shooken up as his legs even trembled , he simply sat back down on the seat , avoiding eye contact from you. " ..ah.. top dog? " 

" N-no!? I don't know what the fuck that sheep's talking about! " Logan spoke immediately, looking either scared , or just nervous. It was probably both.. but you didn't care enough to check back. " Sheep? You think of the comics and art department as animals , huh.. tch. " You spoke , a look of disgust flashing through your eyes. The same look that Logan saw in that incident. It was just a beating. A beating which would have left him paralyzed if you hadn't- .. he can almost pass out from the thought of that time. " No.. no... I.. I just- " 

" Sh. " You simply shushed him , signalling at the time. " It's first period, shut up. " You spoke , your voice more stern than usual , and your eyes more darker than needed as you just turned back and returned to your original seat. Sheesh, I mean.. what did you do to Logan on the last day again? You forgot. Was it a simple beating up or did you- oh.. oh yeah.

. 

.

.

" What the fuck do you want, fucking nerd. " Logan spoke, his face clearly annoyed as he stared at you. Both of you were currently in the bathroom. The cigerette which was previously in your mouth , now in the floor. " ., Danny told me not to smoke anymore. " You mumbled , causing Logan to raise an eyebrow. " Wha- " 

SLAM!—

His head now suddenly against the wall. Hell , the force he was hit with was just so strong it actually broke the wall behind him , Logan definitely felt like his skull had even formed a small crack. He clutched the back of his head as he stared at you , your eyes dark. " H-hey.. you motherfucker- .. just- couse I didn't do anything to you last time.. doesn't mean I'm not going to do anything no- " 

CLANK!—

" Ah..oopsies. my right leg accidently hit your left leg. " You spoke , trying to act apologetic but clearly couldn't , Logan clutched his leg tightly.. he felt it, his leg was definitely broken , it most definitely was. It felt like jelly , a jelly which wasn't even frozen yet. " Y-you fuc- " a kick to his stomach was soon delivered.

" ..Sheesh, the fact really weighed down my kick , huh. " You spoke , yawning as you stared at Logan , who simply coughed up blood due to the force. Your leg was suddenly raised.. the left one.. as you simply put it on Logan's left leg yet again. " Eh.. it's not that broken. " You mumbled , Logan tried saying something but before he could-

CRACK!— 

Logan cursed , " FUCK FUCK FUCK! " , clutching his leg as tightly as he could. He wants that sure if it was previously broken., but now , he can guarantee a 100% broken leg. That's when he felt a fist connect to his head. " ACK!?— " 

" It's been a while I used my hands to fight.. guess the emotions really poured out. " You spoke , yawning as you suddenly ripped off a metal pipe from the wall , lining it up on Logan's head. " This is gonna hurt. " You mumbled , Logan tried dodging , which., he sort of succeeded? The metal pipe hit his shoulder. Causing it to shatter immediately. 

" Right let's knee. " You spoke, Logan stared , confused or not , you didn't know. He was probably too much in pain to even speak , yet you sighed simply. You gave out simple instructions.. so if he didn't listen , it wasn't your fault. 

CRR-ACK!— 

Logan let out a deafening scream as his knee probably , as well as his shoulder had now shattered. You simply grumbled , picking ear wax out of your ear as you stared at Logan , that look on your face still blank and expressionless. " Sheesh.. dramatic much? " You spoke , yawning as you threw the metal pipe away. You simply crouched down , staring at Logan , who was on the verge of passing out. " ..That was for Danny and the years he suffered from you. If you ever.. ever touch another soul again., " you mumbled , suddenly pointing to his crotch area. " That thing's getting cut off." You spoke , not an ounce of mercy in your eyes as you stood up , suddenly placing your feet between Logan's legs and-

" Training for when that time comes. " You simply said , before you- 

. . .

You sipped on the strawberry milk Kimso had brought for you, so that's why Logan was so scared., ah., you had forgotten entirely about that , meh.. maybe it was for the better.. Sheesh , Logan still annoyed the fuck out of you. Perhaps you should just- ..You yawned , it was a free period anyways., what to do? So.. you simply waited for lunch , like you always did. 

.

.

.

It was lunch, Zack stuck to Mira like always , Jay-gal.. grinning slightly , he decided to bump into Zack. Just like last time.. and boom. A bean fell onto Logan's shirt. Zack groaned , his face full of annoyance , he was ready to not even say anything but Mira.. oh , bless her soul by the way. " Apologise. You dropped that " She spoke , sighing slightly.. of course, she still remembered the last week's incident , but she couldn't care less. Logan abruptly stood up , Jay-gal already was grinning and celebrating before the party even started , that's when suddenly-

" Sit the fuck down. " Logan immediately sat down upon hearing that voice. It wasn't even humanly possible to sit that fast. Logan didn't even realise he had sat down, it was like., instincts when he heard it. Upon glancing towards the area of that noise, Zack stared , eyes slightly wide.

" Haha..[Name] ? " He spoke , Mira stared , that's when you simply approached them, fixing your hair as you looked .. tired.  " Hey. " You simply spoke , smiling at Mira but not at Zack just to spite him up. You soon glanced around , yawning as you couldn't find the person you were hoping for. " Where's Daniel? " , Zack simply shrugged , but sooner or later , Mira pointed to Daniel , who was currently sitting between Duke and Jiho.. talking .

" Ah.. thanks, bye, " you spoke , before making your way towards Daniel.. Zack slightly smirked to himself. Perhaps nervous .. perhaps not. But he couldn't help but wonder.. he knew you had said that you'd take care of Logan but.. what did you do that.. .. Zack glanced at Logan's direction. The same old Logan.. now trembling like he had just witnessed a ghost.. seriously..

"What the fuck did he do..? "

.

.

.

" [Name]! I'm a bit sorry for not talking alot in the morning. Uh.. I was a but- uhm.. in thought..? " Daniel spoke , smiling awkwardly as he ate his food.. taking small bites. Not like him , at all. 

" ..don't worry. " That's all you spoke , simply leaning against the air as you stared at the ceiling, Daniel only heard those 2 words but smiled internally. He was still scared of Logan., but with you , he felt.. not that and actually, like those times before.. they weren't that bad of memories but they weren't great as well. Logan was his tormentor since middle school anyways..
