"Sucheon, can I ask you something?" Your heartbeat raced as the words slipped out your mouth—regretting that you proceeded with asking, but what can we do now that the damage is already done?
Sucheon looked at you and raised a brow in inquiry. You hesitated, he waited for you to speak. "Is there a particular reason why you uhmm... Act different..? Towards me but still the same as before to others?"
"Act different?" He knew what you meant and he has an answer for everything he says and does when it comes to you is intentional. Everything he says and every pause in his words, every glimpse, every look, every thing he does for you, every single thing he gets for you. Every single thing is intentional.
"Like..." You paused for a moment, pondering and trying to recall a time where the way he acted towards you is the same as how he acted to the others, only to remember nothing. "Everything."
"Is there a particular reason why? If so can you... tell me?"
He remained silent for a moment, and that silent was deafening. The tension it brought along was heavy, even more so how Sucheon's looking straight into your eyes.
"You're not that shit like the rest... Well to me at least." He said, his gaze looking elsewhere. Damn... Fucked up my own chance to confess... WHY IS THIS SO HARD?! WHY IS CONFESSING SO HARD FOR FUCKS SAKE?! WHY CAN'T I SAY HOW MUCH I LIKE YOU??? THAT WAS SO FUCKING SHIT SUCHEON LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN [NAME] IS NOT THAT SHIT? YOU PRETTY MUCH IMPLIED THEY'RE SHIT TOO, I FUCKING SUCK AT THIS!
His gaze met you again, "Don't get me wrong, Im not saying that your shit you're just not THAT shit like the others but not you're not shit." His stammering made you slightly laugh. "Yeah yeah I get it don't worry." His softly smiled. If only you knew how much I like you...

Before he even reached Highschool, school already sucked. Dirty and terrified glances rain down and hit harder than hail. The Academy was no better either, heir of Baekdu this—heir of Baekdu that, the special treatment is fun and all not until you get sick of it too, for in the long run it doesn't seem nor feel all special anymore. Only good thing there is how there isn't as much terrified and dirty looks raining down at him. Though unjustifiable, we can't really blame him for how his attitude and actions stem from the kind of people he used to be with at home—If it still can be even considered as one with its former suffocating environment and toxicity, a place lower than all rings of hell built in a supposed sanctuary.

"That's Sucheon Kang of class 10-A, still as shitty as he can be."
"You've been attending this highschool for at least half a day already newbie you would've understood it by now like all the other newbies before."
"Sucheon-ssi! I got you water, you look like you're about to pass out. Im a little worried." [Name] handed him a bottle of cold water with a worried smile. Through his eyes, its either the suns bright rays casting light over them making them look ethereal or they're an angel in disguise.
It all felt new to him, as refreshing as honeydew. For once there wasn't fear nor hatred behind the eyes of a person looking at him nor even noticing him.
[Name] felt a little startled when Sucheon took the bottle from them without a word and drank from it, nevertheless they thought it was understandable with how hot the weather is and he seems to be on the verge of passing out—Thus, they spoke nothing about it and sat a formal distance apart beside him on the bench.
Sucheon felt a little weird, like he should say something to them regarding something. He pondered for a moment then when his gaze landed on the bottle he was holding he wondered if that could be it. "Thanks." He said before feeling a slight sense of fulfillment. "No worries." They smiled at him. For once, he saw a smile pure and genuine directed at him and not some half-assed "I want this to be done with" bullshit of a "smile" when it comes to someone forced to having to do something with him. He couldn't describe it but all he knew he's feeling a mix of emotions within him.
Walking down the hallway and being in classes felt a little more bearable when someone amidst the crowd doesn't look at him in such a way and would wave at them with a small genuine smile on their face and doesn't hold a heavy atmosphere when in the same room as him. Other than that—group activities, group discussions, and debates felt more bearable and enjoyable too thanks to you never making him feel left out and actually understanding his point of view.
Sucheon knew something is going on with him when he started looking for you amidst a sea of people, how his eyes are taking quick glances or full on staring at you from afar like its on autopilot—How he would feel lighter than air whenever he sees you, how he'd feel his heart and stomach fluttering whenever he sees you laugh or smile. Every small interaction that the two of you had, even the simplest hi to one another—He longed for that interaction everyday, though he wished that the interactions lasted longer he still cherished it, he also felt guilty that he's a little too honest and straightforward that it startles you at times.
If only he knew that he was falling for you.

Sucheon was walking down the hall when he heard people talking and one of them sounded oddly familiar...
"How come we don't see ya around if we study at the same school?" Jisuk asked. "What building are you two in?" You asked, "Building 1, same as our other two friends." Subin answered. "Ahh! No wonder why... Im in building 2." "Oh, no wonder we don't see you around." "Mhm."
"[Name]...?" Sucheon stopped in his tracks, looking at you—his heart fluttering, but it felt different from the one he usually feels whenever he sees you. He felt... uneasy.
"Sucheon-ssi!" You smiled upon seeing him. "You two know each other?" Subin asked—rather mischievously. "Mhm, we're classmates." You answered. "Ehh? Sucheon studies at Hae Dam too?" "That's surprising."
"I didn't think you're an awakener so Im really surprised but hapoy to see you here!" Sucheon looked at you for a moment, The way he looked at you was as if something gutted him before he started walking away. "Eh? Sucheon-nim?! Hey hey! Wait up!"
Why do I feel so uneasy seeing them here? What the fuck is going on with me? Is this their ability or what?
"Sucheon!" He snapped out of his thoughts, looking behind him to see you there, gasping for air and holding his wrist. "Did I say something wrong? Im sorry if I did... I was just happy to see you here. We're not really close but Im just really happy that there's at least one person I know at this place I'm unfamiliar with."
Sucheon's head started racing and thoughts began spilling out as if it were kept hidden and ignored for a long long time.
No its not that you said anything wrong, no. You never said anything that hurted me. You never did. Not even a glance either. Im just fucking worried about what might happen to you. You're too pure for shit like this... Id kill for you if it meant keeping that light in your eyes but I can't have the only person who is nice to me view me as some ruthless monster at the top of hierarchy either... I've slightly changed yes but what if they think of me differently from now on? Especially if they're told about the shit I used to do... What if they treat me differently? What if they walk on eggshells around me? Would they look at me like that too? Please... Please no. Fuck please no. Anything but that. Everyone else is fine but please not you... God please if you're real don't take them out of my life I love them too much I–... I love them?
"Sucheon-ssi are you okay?" They wiped a tear that trailed down my face. "Yeah, sorry. Its just..." "You don't have to explain." "..." "You seem tired, rest up yeah? We can talk the next day." "Okay." ...I love you...
°•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°
"So my uncle recruited you?" Sucheon asked. The two of you are walking around campus after classes. "Mhm, I was honestly surprised to learn that you're the heir of such a big organization that took me in." Fuck... "[Name] can you promise me something?" "Yeah?" "You may view me as the heir of Baekdu and comprehend how high of a status that is but... promise not to view me just as that?" You sighed, before smiling. God that smile. "Sucheon-ssi... Though I can't promise that I'd be able to view you exactly the same as before now that I know and acknowledge that you're at the top of the hierarchy and is technically my superior, that doesn't mean I'll treat you like you're anything but a human."
Sucheon cracked a smile in understanding, "Okay." I Love You.

"Hmm? ...Waffles huh?" Sucheon glanced at the clock 12AM. "......Fuck it, its now or never."
"Why are you boxing it up?" Suman asked, wiping his hand with a towel—Him and Sucheon just finished making waffles. "Thought it was midnight snack?" "It is but not for me." "May I ask who?" "You know the person you recruited 5 months ago?" "Oh [Name]? Thats for them?" "Mhm." "Out of pure curiosity, do you like them?" Sucheon choked on air.
Present °•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°☆°•☆•°
"Now, is there a particular reason why you're suddenly asking me these?" Sucheon grinned ever so slightly. "Its because of that fucking waffle." You laughed. "The one you were craving 3 weeks back?" "Yes." "Oh do enlighten me." He grinned again, crossing his arms and leaned back against the foot of your couch.
"Its nothing really. Just thought why would my superior bother to get me waffles at 12AM."
"Well I wanted to and I can." It's one way I can express how much I like you.
"Say, do you want to join me tomorrow at the lake just down the block from campus?"
"Will you take no for an answer?"
"No. Why did you plan to decline?"
