“Do you think you matter so much for them?” Gemini asked. His voice was plain, devoided of any emotions. Chokun, who had never been his friend, was knocked down by Gem's right hand, most cruel of all people Gem knew: Force Jiratchapong. 

There were some urban legends saying that Joong and Force LOVED torturing poor people, who they had hated without any particular reason. Chokun was one of these people. He was never rich, he lived with his parents and grandpa in a small apartment near the Institute.

“Please, sir, I promise, I'll pay it back to you!” Chokun almost cried

“Please, sir, I promise, I'll pay it back to you!” Chokun almost cried. He folded his hands as if in prayer and looked pleadingly at his tormentor, which only enraged Joong even more.

“How dare you to look into my face?!” Joong asked and slapped him. A moment later he grabbed him by his white shirt and lifted him up.  Gemini placed a chair in the very center of the dark, cold room, forcing the boy to sit down.

“I'm sorry... Please, forgive me sir. I promise, I'll give it back to you!”

“How are you going to do that? You don't have money, your parents are poor. Look at your clothes. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?”

«My clothes may not be expensive or brand new, but at least I got them all by myself and thanks to my honest work not like you, nepo baby!» Chokun thought with averse, but didn't dare to say this out loud. He didn't even dare to look up anymore. The slap he got from Archen was painful enough.

“I'm sorry...” He whispeared again.

Gemini laughed.

“You are dirty poor, you have absolutely nothing to give us. You are useless. You know what? I have work for you. At my friend's bar called 'Gemini'. Are you interested?”

Chokun gathered all the courage he had and looked up with a small hope that quickly disappeared when he saw nasty smile on Gem's face.

“And what kind of job this is?”

“A very easy job: all you have to do is shake your ass a little, do a little striptease on stage and make sure my friend's clients are happy.  Just remember, your services must be of a very high standard or I won't be as nice anymore”.

“I won't do it”.

“Oh, really?” Gemini laughed and Chokun thought it was the scariest laugh he had even heard, it was laugh without any positive emotions. “I don't think you have any other option left”.

“Gemini...” Chokun started, but Norawit interrupted him.

“Am I your friend that you call me that simply? Where's your respect?”

«I don't need to respect a monster like you!» Chokun in his own imagination took a revange on Gemini exposing him and his terrible behavior to all members of the Order of the Knights of Light.  Chokun imagined that he was standing in front of everyone gathered in the temple part of the Institute during the rune ceremony and telling them about all the crimes that Norawit and his gang had committed.  A smile of satisfaction appeared on the boy's face.  Gemini noticed this and punished him, ordering Joong to hold the boy's hand.  Norawit approached the table, took a sharp knife with a beautiful, richly carved handle and approached Chokun.
