❝ Love is a gamble, Darling ❞ Narae whispered as she leaned in towards the new boy's ear.
Donghyuck smirked, eyes glistening greed for a split second, ❝ Then I'm all in. ❞
Gambling was like their life and they were ready to go all in just for their...

MARK LEE'S POINT OF VIEW
Lee Haechan is here.
Those four words kept repeating in my brain nonstop and all I could do was tense up the closer he gets to the building's main entrance. I felt like I was in some sort of thrilling race — my heartbeat was uncontrollably fast and my breath hitched from time to time; my palms turned clammy, every nerve bitting me down.
I glanced beside me to see Jeno looking overwrought; will we be able to welcome our relative with open arms? Even with the chaos he had just brought with him?
I'm pretty sure the Seo's were prepared for his arrival, they just have to be prepared. Who knows what mischief would this new student bring to Ilseong?
"Scared, Lee?" I whipped my head back, seeing a certain brown-haired girl standing next to a tall boy with reddish-brown hair. A scowl masked my nervous state, eyebrows furrowed together to accentuate my annoyance for the certain duo. "Jung. Zhao. Nice to see you two again."
Sungchan raised a brow at me, arms crossed in front of his chest, "Hmm? When was the last time we saw each other?" He tapped his chin as he recalled our last meeting. "Wasn't it the day you lost to Seo?" He then gasps, cupping his mouth, "Oops, I forgot you still haven't paid your debts. Well," he shrugs, "at least I reminded you."
Jeno scoffed, wanting to hurl a punch towards the younger boy but I stopped him. I didn't want to start a fight, not when everyone's looking down on me and starting to treat me like rubbish. I had to make them respect me again. They have to know how fully capable I am, no matter how hard they try to drag me down.
Jeno glanced at the girl beside Sungchan — Zhao Qiuyue. One of Seo's most loyal members of the Student Council. The school's beloved Secretary; always follows Seo around and keeps an eye on everyone for her. Qiuyue is Seo's main eyes and ears of the whole school. I never liked Zhao one bit, she may look so innocent and mannered but behind that façade was a sly grin that would hunt you down until you become nothing but scraps — useless.
Sungchan is also one of the President's eyes and ears, being the Vice President himself. He's like a lapdog, same as to Zhao. Though, his relationship with Seo Narae differs from the Secretary, probably because of the connection between the Jung family and the Seo family.
