Ryota Shirokawa, the ace of Seikan Gakuen's football team, was a handsome, kind and charismatic person. He always extend his hands for those who are in need. His good looks and personality made him one of those sought after boys of Seikan Gakuen. He went out with any girls that approached him, yet there was none that seemed special to him. From the surface, he looked to be someone who wanted to concentrate on his club activities, but only his brother, Kyo Shirokawa, knew the reason behind that facade and soon the whole school would know about it too.

"Oh, no. It's already this late!" Ryota exclaimed when he looked at his watch.

It was already thirty minutes passed eight at night. He had wanted to work-out at the club's gym after school and promptly lost track of time. If he did not hurry now, the dormitory gate would be closed -- the gate was usually closed by nine and whoever came after that had to call the dorm master. Ryota did not want to do such a tedious task so he quickened his pace.

The Seikan Gakuen Dormitory was just around the corner when Ryota noticed the red car parked at the road side. It was not uncommon to see any vehicles parking near the dormitory but this one had its internal lighting turned on and he could clearly see who was inside: one was a man in s salaryman suit, who seemed to be in his twenties, and the other was one of his juniors in the football club, named Yuki Masashi. It seemed the two people was having an argument and he could bear bits and pieces of the conversation as he drew nearer to his destination.

"I already told you that I have my studies and football club to think about. I don't have time to see you again," Ryota heard Yuki said.

"I can give you money to pay fr a private tuition. Just don't stop going out with me," the salaryman said. "Please...," the man begged as he place his hand on Yuki's cheek and attempted to kiss the young man.

"No!" Yuki cried as he pushed the man backed and scuffled to get out of the car. However, he could not get far as the man grabbed onto his right hand. "Let go of me!"

"You must promise to see me again," the man pled, holding firmly onto Yuki's hand.

It was then Ryota decided to intervene. He drew closer to the pair and grabbed Yuki's other free arm. "What are you doing to my boyfriend, Ossan?"

The sudden intervention surprised the man and slackened his hold on Yuki's hand. Ryota took the opportunity to pull Yuki away and they made a run for the dormitory. They only ceased running when they reached the lobby.

"Senpai, I~," Yuki began but he was stopped by Ryota.

"It's okay."

"No, you don't understand. That man is persistent. He always come to seek me since he approach me two weeks ago. Even when I don't want to see him again, he creates some excuses. Now, I got you involve in my mess..."

"I said it's okay. You better go to your room now and get some sleep. We have morning practice tomorrow," Ryota said before he bade the other boy good night and made his way to the cafeteria to get his late dinner.

The man was a persistent as Yuki said. The next morning when they came out of the dormitory for their morning practice, the man and his red car was by the gateway. Those who came out earlier wondered who the man was as he stood by his car, smoking a piece of cigarette. When he caught sight of Yuki, he quickly mad his way towards the him.

"Yuki!" the man called out.

Seeing the man walking towards his direction, Yuki dd not know what to do. Luckily, Ryota was nearby and he quickly walked to stand by Yuki's side.

"Do you have business with my boyfriend, Ossan?" Ryota asked as he wrapped his arm around Yuki's shoulders. He ignored the collective gasp and stunned looks of the other students around them.

The man stopped on his track. The looks of surprised crossed his face, and it was followed by the look of defeat before he turned around back to his car and drove away from there.

With the car finally out of sight, Ryota released his hold on Yuki and acted as if nothing happened just now. "Alright, let's go to the morning practice!"

None the less, the scene of that morning was never lost to those who had witnessed it. By lunchtime of the same day, the rumors of Ryota and Yuki being a couple spread throughout the whole school like bushfire. For a school that expect good behaviours from the students, such rumor was unbecoming. Thus, the Student Council had no choice but to call upon the parties involve: Ryota Shirokawa and Yuki Masashi.

Kyo Shirokawa, the twin older brother of Ryota Shirokawa, was currently the President of Seikan Gakuen Student Council. He was the total opposite of his younger brother. While Ryota excelled in sports, Kyo excelled academically. When Ryota was known to be kind and easy-going, Kyo was a strict and serious person. Rumor had it that he would not go easy on those who dared to break the school's rules.

It was the first time Yuki was called out to the Student Council's office and it was also the first time he came face-to-face with the so-called Demon President. Anxiety washed over him as he waited for the president to came. Yet, Ryota was sittin leisurly on the president's table flipping through some documents on it.

"Ryo, stop messing around with my stuff and get off that table," Kyo's voice rang out ashe entered the room. He closed the door behind him and went over to the two. "You are Yuki Masashi of Class 2-C?" he asked Yuki.

"Ah, yes," Yuki answered nervously.

"Did Ryota do anything to you?" he president asked next.

"What?" Yuki asked back, not expecting the question. "Oh, no. He just help me out."

"I see...Then, that's all. You can go back to your class." Kyo had to repeat the words before the other boy understood and went out of the room. He turned to Ryota. "I hope you haven't do anything to that boy," he said to his younger brother.

"Of course, not!" Ryota denied innocently. "I won't dare."

"Right...," Kyo replied, doubtful. "We may act differently on the surface but I know you. I know that you don't have any interest in girls at all, though you've dated many of them. I don't care if you like boys either. What I do care is when you jeopardizing your school life as well as his. You must do it, please be discreet about it."

"Don't worry. The rumor would die down within a week and the school won't hear or see anything more about it ," Ryota assured.

"I hope so."

True to Ryota's words, the rumor died away with a week time. Of course, within those period of time, both Ryota and Yuki were tease a lot for being a couple especially during football practices. Ryota just took it in stride, while Yuki tried to ignore any silent whispers and jeers that was thrown at him. Most of the students expect them to be hugging or kissing each other, but no such thing happen whenever the two were concerned after that morning incident. They guessed it was really an act to drive away the man at that time.

"Shit! I lost track of time again!" Ryota exclaimed as he checked his watched. It showed him it was twenty minutes passed eight at night.

He was tasked to make a training menu for the football club upcoming summer camp. He was passing a convenient shop on the way when he caught sight of Yuki being bullied by three infamous delinquents from Seikan Gakuen.

"Hey, what are you guys doing to my Yuki?!" Ryota called
