This is Kirill’s second day in Krasniy High. His first day was mostly uneventful minus for the fact that he noticed the boy people claim to be Kliment’s best friend was always looking towards him with a smile like a wolf on his face. Kirill is used to being looked at. His distinct features always cause people to look at him but he is very uncomfortable with the way Stepanov was looking at him. Today is no different. The boy is still always looking at him. But today, he notices that there are three other boys who are also looking at him. They are the other members of that so-called secret group. But Kirill does not feel intimidated with the way they’re looking at him. Only the way Stepanov is looking at him causes him to feel uncomfortable. It was like he has a bad intention towards him. It was like he is a predator stalking on his prey.

 Kirill is not the type of person who is easily intimidated by someone. He is not the good-guy type of person. He was a delinquent back in his old high school in New Japan. He even owns a tattoo on his left shoulder that covers even some part of his shoulder blade and the upper part of his left chest. It was forbidden for school student to have a tattoo but he didn’t care. He already started drinking, watch porn and had sex at 14 years old. He was always looking for trouble. He joined a gang and occasionally got into fights with kids from other high school in his old neighborhood. The only thing he never does is drugs.

 But of course, he wasn’t proud of who he was or of what he had done. The tattoo on his body is a constant reminder to him of that bad part of him. He wears it like a sin. Nobody wants to be bad. Nobody was born evil. He doesn’t consider himself evil despite his father always calling him the devil’s child. He was born with a delicate face, looking as beautiful as an angel. When he was younger, he was often mistaken as a girl. He had met all kinds of people because of this. His father’s friends who was friendly on the outside but with hands that crawl everywhere they shouldn’t when no one was looking. The teacher everyone respected but turns out to be a pervert who tries to get in his pants. The classmates who called him an alien for being a mixed race but then tried to peek at his dick in the toilet to see if his size is bigger than theirs. The girls who went crazy for him and chase him like he’s a star but absolutely disregarded his privacy as a human being. He understood then that this world consists of a lot people with a pretty face but a monstrous heart. That was when he realized that his beauty is a curse. He built a wall. Being bad, a delinquent, a devil’s child… being all these is the only way for him to protect himself from them.

 But in front of Stepanov, he somehow felt exposed for reasons unknown even to himself. It was like he is seen through. He can’t shake off that bad feeling away. Perhaps Stepanov is another kind of bad. One whom he had not known of before.

 In the back of the classroom, four voices intermingle. If one pays attention to them, one can distinguish clearly that these voices belong to four delinquents.

 “Damn it, Kliment’s twin looks even more beautiful in person.”

 “Yeah, it’s funny to think that they look the same. But they really felt different. Isn’t so?”

 “I think he’ll look good tied up to bed naked. What do you guys think?”

 A ringing of laughter can be heard coming from the four boys. “I think the four of us can share the same ‘meal’ if that were to happen.”

 “No sharing. He’s mine.”

 “You serious, Stepan?”

 “I’m dead serious. If any of you try to pursue him, you’re looking for death. After all, he can only be tied up naked to the bed by me alone.”

 “Wow… someone’s heart has been stolen.”

 The four of them laugh aloud again. “We didn’t get to have too much fun with Kliment. Now that his twin brother is here, you’re really not gonna share, Stepan?”

 “Not sharing. But who says we can’t have fun even without sharing him with you guys?”

 “Oooh… Sounds good. When do we start?”

 “It has already started.”
