Hyun Ryu was born into poverty and into a merchant family. Yes, merchants weren't poor, yet they weren't exactly rich either, but what made this family different though, was that their business crashed when Hyun was born.

"Do you see that child's hair and eye color? That family is cursed, and is paying the price for whatever they have done. That's proof."

"That kid is a demon that will cause our ruin. Never trade with them. Never make business deals with them."

Hyun grew up hearing these things. He hated it. He knew he wasn't cursed. Hyun didn't feel any different as he grew up. Things got worse when he was old enough to understand. Violence was soon involved and, while his family wasn't too fond of him either, his brother always protected him.

As he grew older, even his brother abandoned him. Too much hatred was starting to build inside Hyun. He couldn't take it. People always took one glance at his hair and eyes and would turn away. He never had friends, and he never really had a family either.

At eighteen, Hyun decided to leave. He packed his stuff, and left his home without looking back. His family was out, trying to bring up their business once again after seventeen years.

"Maybe they will once I'm gone," Hyun muttered to himself.

Jumin Han was the son of one of the most richest man in the country. In the kingdom, he was well respected. His father was good friends with the king and queen. Their princess had wanted to marry him for some time, but soon gave up when she saw he had no interest.

Jumin wasn't attracted to women. He, himself, thought it was strange but didn't ask about it because he believed that people would think it was wrong. By now, he was expected to find a lover though. A wealthy, well behaved young woman.

Jumin couldn't care less. He didn't need a lover. He had a cat. That was all he needed.

Or that's what he believed then.

Hyun and Jumin would meet and change each other's life. For one, it was a good change, and the other, not so good. At least in the beginning.
