"Kim Eyun, right?" The silver-haired guy couldn't help but smirk when he noticed the tensed up state of his classmate next to the newbie as soon as he had made his appearance.
"Kang." He started to introduce himself in a rather nonchalant tone to the girl in front of him.
"Kang Taehyun." He smiled politely with his big doe eyes sparkling charmingly.
"Nice to meet-" Eyun started with a happy chirp in her voice, but Taehyun put his hand up, cutting her off.
"Let's get to the point, Kim Eyun." His smile became faker the longer he wore it.
"How about we have a gambling match?"
Taehyun's smirk from the beginning had returned.
"Wait, she doesn't know any-" Minhee stepped forward from behind Eyun between the two.
She tried to interfere the conversation of her two classmates in the hope of being able to protect the just newly arrived girl. She tried to sound confident, as if she had the strength to speak, but the trembling in her voice made it impossible to achieve.
"Go back to your place, Minhee-ah, hm?" Taehyun said in a forcefully friendly manner.
Even though he was becoming annoyed by the girl who tried to stop his plans, he kept the smirk rather forced on his lips, his eyes never leaving the newbie.
"A gambling match..." Eyun slowly repeated his words with a blank expression, seemingly pondering about her answer.
Minhee closed her eyes in desperation, unknowingly sighing when her eyes fell on Eyun's facial expression.
"It would certainly be interesting...
to try it myself for once, I guess," she said the last part in such a low voice that it seemed like nobody else had heard her words.
The angel's expression was filled with excitement all of a sudden, her lips forming a wide smile.
"But I already warned y-" Minhee approached her with a combination of panic, frustration, and desperation all at once.
"Lee Minhee," the boy called out her name, for the first time diverting his eyes away from Eyun to Minhee.
His stare was so intimidating that she immediately backed away and shut herself up, gulping anxiously.
Taehyun's eyes fell from her to the silver chain around her wrist. It had cut into her flesh, creating deep wounds at the exact same place, even light infection visible. Spotting that one specific pendant, he immediately realized something.
"The rumors are true," Taehyun muttered under his breath, spacing out for a moment before snapping out of it.
"As a chained one you should know your place already." His voice monotonous, still loud enough for the two girls to hear while he gave the now silent Minhee a seemingly belittled look. Which actually had a complete different interpretation. However, Minhee only hang her head even lower.
"What kind of game?" Eyun asked, bringing Taehyun's attention back to her.
Again, the silver-haired boy's expression changed to the smirk he had worn the whole time. It clearly showed the self-satisfied attitude he had.
"Black Jack - Draw edition."

Entering the room that had only been empty for less time, students started to come in after them. They quickly closed the dark curtains of the huge windows to let the thing that was taking place in the center win on focus.
