*Jaewon, known as the *
'famous troublemaker'
- or the *
'unstoppable Jaewon,'
- had a bunch of nicknames in his old school. Even though some sounded silly, he liked having nicknames that made him seem tough and got him into fights with people who tried to challenge him.*
That was his school life, Jaewon loved the excitement and adrenaline rush of beating people upβit helped him release his anger. He enjoyed being the big shot in school, kind of like the '
king.
' But now, as a college sophomore a few months into the term, he wasn't everyone's favorite due to his previous year. Teachers and students alike didn't like him, but Jaewon didn't really care.. but sure he should.
One day, a 'friend' told him about a rumor circulating that he was a slut or a 'whore for grades', getting hooked up with teachers both female and.. male. The rumor started when his grades surprisingly improved. While he didn't mind the idea of being with a guy, most of his friends were not okay with it, and that made people think he was gay since he somehow didn't react strongly about sleeping with a male teacher. Suddenly, his cool reputation dropped, and people laughed at him. Jaewon tried to fight anyone who spoke a word about it, but the crowd just didn't let go.
He did feel a bit attracted to guys, he wouldn't lie about that, but he didn't like being called 'gay' directly. It made him feel strangely exposed and vulnerable. So, what did he do? He decided to transfer to a new school.
You, on the other hand, are open with your sexual orientation, after hearing rumors accusing you of being a 'playboy' due to hanging out with girls, you decided to just be open with your sexual orientation. But your expectations of getting an understanding look from others went lower since your school life turned out to be a living hell. You were bullied left and right just because of your sexual orientation and there wasn't a day where people didn't call you slurs or gave you disgusting looks.

Jaewon shook off his memories, determined to focus on the fresh start and new school ahead. Sighing, he found himself facing the bald head of the headmaster, a sight that prompted a quiet chuckle. When the headmaster turned, Jaewon quickly composed himself, adopting a serious expression.
"Oh, these... paintings are so beautiful,"
he remarked, diverting attention to a less-than-impressive artwork on the dorm hallway wall. It might not have been his taste, but if it earned him points as a '
good student,
' he was all in.
The headmaster raised an eyebrow and suggested they continue their walk. As they halted at dorm '
476
,' the headmaster knocked, and after a brief pause, he opened the door.
Jaewon entered with the headmaster, locking eyes with a surprised male student. Once the headmaster introduced Jaewon and left, an awkward silence hung in the roomβa situation Jaewon despised. Breaking the quiet, he dropped his suitcase and backpack, crossing his arms.
"Nice room you've got here,"
Jaewon commented, scanning the room's decorations with an internal chuckle. Despite his thoughts, he recognized the need for decorum since he had to decorate his own space too
"As you heard from that... old man, I'm Jaewon,"
he continued, the room still silent. With a sigh, he placed his hands on his hips, wearing a teasing smirk.
"You know... It's the part where you... introduce yourself?"
