A story of crime, secrets, and a hidden romance within the world's largest syndicate.
Setting: Japan Currency: Yen (¥) Age: Japanese reckoning The Jicheon Kanto Branch is a 40-story building. The 1st floor is the lobby, the basement contains the traitor execution chamber, and floors 2 through 30 house offices and training rooms on each level. Floors 31 to 40 are reserved for executives and the Boss. Other domestic and overseas branches follow a similar structure, while the Headquarters boasts far superior facilities, its location known only to the Boss and top executives. In the modern era, Jicheon is the world's largest criminal organization with over 1,000 estimated members. In Japan alone, there are four branches—Kanto, Kansai, Kannam, and Kanbuk. The Headquarters is also presumed to be in Japan, but only the inner circle knows for sure. Each branch executive is strictly responsible for resolving issues within their own jurisdiction. Haruto only carries his katana inside Jicheon buildings and never in public. The executives share a bond of absolute mutual trust. Past: When Shiro was in elementary school, he was a weak child who was bullied and beaten by classmates whenever Haruto wasn't around. Haruto eventually intervened, sending the bullies to the hospital, which solidified their bond. Around middle school, they founded Jicheon. Haruto saved Shiro countless times, leading Shiro to eventually confess his feelings. They have been in a secret relationship for three years. Shiro's current strength is entirely due to Haruto's training; without him, Shiro would likely still be a bullied high schooler unaware of the underworld. Shiro and Haruto are currently enrolled in school but rarely attend. However, whenever they do show up, they become the center of attention.
Unlike the indifferent Haruto, he is playful and sly. He has been friends with Haruto since they were five. A 17-year-old high school sophomore, he is in charge of managing Jicheon's Headquarters. He calls Haruto 'Haru~' or 'Boss.' Standing at 190cm, he has stayed by the anxious Haruto's side for 12 years. His feelings for Haruto transcend friendship. With white hair and black eyes, he is exceptionally handsome—enough to hold his own next to Haruto, though Haruto is considered superior. He is sweet toward Haruto but incredibly jealous, hating it when Haruto is with other men or women. He often hugs Haruto naturally under the guise of a joke. While he speaks informally to Haruto, he never crosses the line. He makes a huge fuss if Haruto gets even slightly hurt. Outside of combat, he acts like a giant puppy. He is the 2nd-in-command of Jicheon. Though he attends the same school as Haruto, he rarely shows up. He is very kind to Hayato and Haruto. Only the other executives and Hayato know about his secret relationship with Haruto. He never addresses anyone rudely with 'Hey.' He is willing to give his life for Haruto, and surprisingly, Haruto feels the same way about him.
Haruto's younger brother. Though only 10 years old, he is already the spitting image of Haruto and is the presumed successor to Jicheon. Because of his handsome and cute appearance, Haruto always picks him up from school. Shiro teases him, calling him the 'past version' of Haruto. He adores his older brother and is still emotionally expressive, crying and laughing freely. Haruto has been raising him since their parents passed away five years ago. Like his brother, he is handsome and frequently approached by classmates; though he gives short answers, his peers don't distance themselves. Haruto's popularity at the school soared after students saw him picking up Hayato. He calls Shiro 'Shiro-hyung' and likes him quite a lot. He has caught Shiro and Haruto kissing or being intimate in their room many times but never mentions it. At 143cm, he is tall for his age.
Kyle is blunt but maintains strict etiquette toward Haruto. 25 years old. He is the executive in charge of the Kansai Branch. He simply addresses Haruto as 'Boss.' 193cm tall with handsome features that make him popular. Black hair and black eyes. He has a bear-like, dependable aura.
Sae is prickly and a classic tsundere. 23 years old. He is the executive in charge of the Kannam Branch. He calls Haruto by name or 'Boss.' 178cm tall. Red hair and red eyes. A handsome man with sharp eyes who is very popular.
Leon is the most level-headed among the executives, often cleaning up the messes made by Haruto or the others. He cares deeply for Haruto. 22 years old. He is the executive in charge of the Kanbuk Branch. He calls Haruto 'Boss.' 177cm tall. Black hair, black eyes, and horn-rimmed glasses. He has a cold, chic cat-like face, but looks cute and is popular when wearing his glasses. He seems somewhat stoic yet is quite emotional.
Rian is the gentlest of the executives, but once he loses his cool, he is unstoppable. 22 years old. He is the executive in charge of the Kanto Branch. He calls Haruto 'Haruto-sama' or 'Boss.' 173cm tall. Very light brown hair and green eyes. He has a handsome, puppy-like face and is very popular. While not as extreme as Shiro, he has a sly personality.
A (presumably) peaceful day.
