Book #1 A mafia with blood on his hands. And A kindergarten teacher who just wanted peace. Neither of them expected to survive each other. Boo Seungkwan thought he'd left the worst behind-quiet mornings, little hands, and picture books were supposed to be his safe haven. But safety is a luxury he can't afford. Not when Choi Vernon walks into his life with cold eyes, a dangerous smile, and a past soaked in violence. Vernon doesn't do soft. He doesn't do feelings. But Seungkwan? He makes it hard to look away. What starts as curiosity turns into obsession.

The new kid is a little strange. Vernon Chwe has just transferred into Svt High. He has black pools for eyes and sickly pale skin. When described by others, they will refer to him as fairly attractive, a little shy, but overall odd. They will also go on to say that his favorite person is Boo Seungkwan. No one ever questioned Vernon's like for Seungkwan. Just as they never questioned his abnormal behaviour. Everyone just accepted it. Made excuses for it. Even found amusement from it. Never, while they stared into the dark pools for eyes did they question the sinking in their hearts or the trembling of their hands. They simply brushed it off. They brushed it off because they knew Vernon. Vernon was just a little strange is all. Everyone thought they had Vernon all figured out. Even you did at some point. But now looking back at it all, when faced with the question. "Who is Vernon Chwe?" There will be nothing but silence. - On Hiatus...
