Chapter 1

"It is believed that, many years prior from today humans used to co-exist with animals. The first question which will pop in your mind now is that humans still lives with animals, like they raise them as pets or sees them in in their natural habitat. So, what is so special about that in the old times? It was special and in many ways. Compared to animals of today, back then they used to have more intelligence, power, wealth and most importantly they could talk. They also had the ability to transform into human form after reaching a certain age. They were called by a special name by humans, which is 'werebeast'.

Everything was normal, and harmonious until greed and jealousy started to corrupt some humans mind. They became jealous of these werebeasts for their wealth, power and whatnot. They thought that why they are the only ones born with a silver spoon in their mouth while we, the unprivileged humans have to work hard every day to feed ourselves. They also thought that they'll be suppressed by these beasts and will eventually appear like maggots in their eyes. Several irrelevant thoughts keep coming in their minds, one after another like unpoppable bubbles which slowly but steadily corroded their thinking ability. And, in a small amount of time these thoughts started spreading like a wildfire.

But, they all forgot one basic thing that not everything that glitters is not gold. They might be rich in surface but if we closely observe them then we'll understand that their life is as hollow as the soul of an echo. Even with money and Power, they can't buy love and affection from their own ones, let alone be from others.

But, humans, they'll be the same whether in the past or in the present, blinded by greed.

They planned that in order to exterminate these werebeasts for good, they need to start a internal feude between two main types of species of beasts, which was dogs and cats, the reason was that they were already at each other's throat from a long time.

They killed one individual from both the dog and cat species and made it seem like they were killed by the other. If it was not enough, they also started spreading rumours about how each of these two species were planning to start a revolt against the other and kill them.

And the rest is in the history. Throats were slit, a new painting was painted on the surface of the earth with the blood of these werebeasts. Whether it was an infant, women or aged werebeasts, no one was showed mercy on that day.

And in this way humans greed wiped out a well flourishing species from the face of the earth. From that day onwards, feudes between every other species also broke out and they all also vanished in a very small span of time.

To this day, no werebeasts were ever reported or spotted. There can be only two possible reasons behind it. First, there are no more werebeasts alive now and were all dead in that riot, which is highly possible. The second reason can be that they are hiding their identities to not attract attention and create any chaos."

Suddenly the ear drumming, automatic bell rang which broke the concentration of the whole class. The teacher who was teaching earlier looked at his wrist watch and closed his book. He was a bit surprised that today the time passed more swiftly then the normal days, or it can be that he was too indulged in teaching.

"If you have any doubts concerning to this chapter, come to the staff room. And we'll continue this further tomorrow." The teacher announced before leaving a classroom filled with chatting students.

Some students were heading to the school canteen to fill their growling stomachs while some were enjoying their meals brought from the nearby convenience store, to avoid being in the line and waiting. They was only one who was still in his seat, and was sleeping. His face was unseeable since he was facing the other way but even without seeing the face one could say with confident that he has a fine handsome face with silky smooth hair.

He suddenly twitched a little which was probably because of the noises made by his classmates, but after snuggling his head in his arm, for a second he again became motionless.

One of his classmates, who was earlier chatting with the other students, stood behind him and tapped softly on his shoulder to wake him up. He waited for a few second, but the other party was as unresponsive as a corpse. He tried again and stood patiently.

No response.

He tried again and this time he got a response by the sleeping person. But he didn't got up, instead the sleeping boy just shrugged his hands off his shoulders.

Now all his patience has evaporated and he was ready to throw his friend out of the window.

He took a deep breath, grabbed his sleeping friend by his shoulders and….then  what? He shaked his body back and forth with full might. "Rise and shine, little prince. It's morning, in your noble language and in our commoners language this time is referred as noon. So, we'll be very grateful if we could see your charming face, Lim Yohanssi."

The sleepyhead Yohan finally got up, but with bowed eyebrows and a bit of messy hair, which instead of decreasing his beauty, was appraising it more. He really was a prince straight out of fairytales. His beauty was unmatched by any other girls or boys present in the class.

But contrasting to his innocent and charming face, he has a venomous mouth.

"just fucking quit your yapping like a dog, Haneul-yah" Yohan said with an irritated voice.

"Look who is calling me a dog. You were the one who was sleeping like a dog with an open drooling mouth.  You are really a *mallep. In sleeping. Just fucking get up and eat something before the next class starts. If you don't eat now and whine during the class, then I'll yeet you out of this window." Haneul retaliated with a smirking face.

(Mallep- someone who is a master of something or, have achieved the maximum level at something)

"I'm not hungry at all, but let me sleep. You can go and fill you black hole like stomach" Yohan answered and showed his friend middle finger before going back to sleep.

Haneul just stood there and smiled instead of dragging this conversation any further. He did smile but his eyes were not. Unlike others, he doesn't cared much about Yohan's background or family, even though his family is working under Yohan's father company and have being taking care of them since generation. But he vowed to himself that he will indeed take care of Yohan, but only as a friend does. He will change the old, rusty customs.

He just sighed and turned his back to the peacefully sleeping boy. He spotted a familiar figure standing in front of the door, a warm smile naturally appeared in his face.

"Did I made you wait for long, Jinnie-ah?" Haneul asked dotingly while patting the head of the blushing girl.

Heejin shakes her head instead of saying. Even after dating Haneul for almost a year, she still becomes bashful in situations like this.

Haneul just chuckled softly and held her hand before walking outside the class together.

Seeing this romantic atmosphere, the boys started hooting while the girls just gasped. Even though they all should be used to it, since Haneul is Is sweet to all, but the expressions and kindness he shows to his girlfriend is totally exclusive and breathtaking.

When the break was finally over, all the students, who were earlier chattering with their friends, settled in their own seats and the students who were outside the classroom also came as soon as the automatic bell rang, marking the end of the break.

A few minutes later, a man entered the classroom. The moment he stepped foot in the room, the whole class became as silent as a desert.
