Episode 1

"Why isn't Minseok here? I told him to be here by seven" A boy dressed in a school uniform asked looking impatient.

"Boss don't worry, I'm sure he's caught up buying cigarettes," said another with a chuckle.

Just then they heard a familiar voice, "SORRY IM LATE!!!"

"Kim Minseok is here!"

Minseok struggled to breathe as he spoke, his shirt messy, tie undone and his hair resembling a bird's nest yet his features absolutely perfect. His silver hair swept back in a seductive manner gave him a strong impression, but his eyes were soft, contradicting to the nature of his look.

"I was out of stock..." he inhaled, "I hope I'm not too late"

The boss endearingly ruffled Minseok"s hair to which he frowned and said, "Let's go take care of those bastards"

The previous day one of their team members had gotten into a fight with one of the students of Namsan high school. Though the fight ended pretty soon and no one received any severe injuries, this incident on its own was a silent announcement of a battle. A battle between the top gangs of the two high schools, the loser must concede defeat and will be subdued by the other for the rest of the year. This battle was like a tradition passed on for years and took place every year but if the opposing party was weak they'd concede defeat without a battle. The members of the gang were feared by the entire school and also received a lot of favours, no one dared go against them. Despite all this, there were still a few gangs who were climbing up the chart and had the potential to surpass the top dogs of the high school.

The Boss and Minseok led the team to a nearby playground only to find the five members of Namsan High School already there. They all had an ignorant look on their faces, a provoking grin on their lips and eyes which were looking down on them. Minseok clenched his teeth and was about to curse when the Boss pushed him aside and said, "No need to waste your words on these fools...Our fists are enough to show them who's Boss"

 Thirty minutes later, five boys lay on the ground looking miserable. Some of their clothes were ripped apart, a few of them had broken arms and ribs and the others had barely any energy to even speak. The winner was obvious, Yeongsan High School had an easy victory with the team members have received nothing more than a few superficial wounds. Minseok laughed at them and said just one word before leaving, "Losers"

"WHERE IS THAT PUNK MINSEOK?!!!" A scream sounded in the hallway of Yeongsan High School, the owner of this voice was the infamous whale instructor (1), Song Byunmoo, who was also their homeroom teacher.

The main door slid open with Minseok entering into the classroom at high speed, if not for the two human barriers who were with him (2), he would've certainly run into the teacher.

”YOU!” Byunmoo was appalled by his behaviour and screamed, ”HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I TELL YOU TO BE IN CLASS ON TIME?! ARE YOU ASKING TO BE EXPELLED?!”

Minseok closed his ears instinctively and waited for his teacher to finish talking and then bowed slightly saying, ”I am sorry, it won't happen again”

Byunmoo slightly tapped his head and sighed, ”Okay now go back to your seat and wipe that blood off your face, it will be an issue if the principal sees your face and even you two, get seated”

Just as they entered the class, the rest of the students started whispering stuff to each other.

”Looks like they had a fight with those thugs from Namsan high school! I heard they are really strong but looks like our school won... well it's not a surprise because we have Minseok... I heard that he is a heartless bastard! There is a rumour that he almost killed a student in a fight”

”Don't say it out so loud, he might hear you! If he does you are dead!!”

Minseok was sitting just behind them and he could clearly hear their conversation. Minseok couldn't help but scoff at their foolish words. The rumours really make him look like a villain, no wonder everyone is afraid to get close to him.

”Such a waste of beauty! Look at his face!! I heard that even the girls from the other class want to ask him out but they are too scared to do so”

”Don't you remember that one time when that girl in our class asked him out and he just turned around and walked away?? How rude! If I was in his place I would be so grateful to God!! Haha”

”HEY, YOU TWO CROWS STOP WHISPERING TO EACH OTHER!!” Song Byunmoo shouted at the two students who were busy talking about Minseok, ”We have a new student who will be joining us for the next two years, take good care of him! New student- Come in”

This time the girls started whispering and the boys had a stupid look on their faces.

”How can he be so handsome?! Oh my”

”I fell in love...”

”I'm definitely going to ask him out! Can't lose my chance”

”Like he’d go out with you haha”

”Introduce yourself”

”Good Morning, I'm Park Jaehyun”

Park Jaehyun seemed intimidating and difficult to approach, his eyes were thin and sharp and were a lighter shade of brown whereas his hair was dark. He was surrounded by an aura which was difficult to describe. If he stood in a group of people he would undoubtedly stand out for some reason.

Byunmoo hesitated, he had hoped Jaehyun would introduce himself well but that didn't seem to be the case. As the homeroom teacher, he was responsible for every student in his class, he was worried that the less spoken Jaehyun who was forced into the transfer due to cases of violence would not be able to get along with the rest of the students.

He looked around and pointed at the seat beside Minseok and said, ”Jaehyun, you can sit there next to Minseok”

Minseok’s eyes shot up when he heard his name, he looked at the tall figure walk to his seat and sit down, not even sparing him a single look.

How dare he ignore me?! Doesn't he know who I am?! Minseok thought to himself as he turned to face Jaehyun.
