Rui sat at the back of the class, scrolling on his phone under the desk as he chuckled. His friend had sent him a video of him pushing some hopeless nerd into a bush.

You see, Rui was a bully. Albeit a little bit more laid back than his friends, but still a bully overall. He just preferred to talk about people behind their backs, claimed he didn’t like seeing people cry. Fair enough… I think?

A fair-haired boy sat down next to him — Rui’s closest friend — the Korean boy that moved to Japan last year, Tsukasa Tenma. Tsukasa was the opposite of Rui, in a way. Loud, unapologetic, but also kind. He wanted to make everyone feel safe and happy! He wanted to see people smile. Unlike his bully counterpart.
