Bang Yongguk, aged 21. He had been suspended from school for a year and now he was back. Rumors of him being a member of the mafia or a gang were all over the school. That, coupled with his intimidating looks, made plenty of students veer clear of his way. Even the teachers didn't mess with him. 

Most my friends couldn’t understand my fascination with him. “He’s dangerous, you hear me?” My junior, Eunji, had proclaimed when I first mentioned Yongguk to them. “Have you seen his tattoos? I bet the rumors about the mafia are true.”

But watching him lie there peacefully, just watching the leaves fall; I couldn’t see how dangerous he was. He looked just like any regular kid, waiting for class to start.

Just then, his eyes slid over to meet mine.
