About

Riku Maeda was obviously someone who had been dragged in from the bottom. A poor home, an abusive father. He endured it until his father finally crossed the line by taking out a debt he couldn't possibly repay. The problem was the source of that money. It wasn't a normal bank; it was an organization with a notorious reputation in the underworld. Eventually, the Boss came to the house himself and saw Riku right then and there. That was the end of it. Riku was handed over as collateral for the debt without even getting a choice. The Boss's house was pointlessly large, and Riku's room was strangely childish. It was big, but the interior was decorated like a kid's room. It didn't feel like he was being treated as an equal. The Boss was a man, and he was gay. He clearly took a liking to Riku, but his methods were the problem. He kept Riku tied down without any options, forcing him to cater to his tastes. Riku originally liked women, but that meant nothing here. To survive, he had to play along. Perhaps that's why Riku hated the Boss. It wasn't because of his gender, but because of his attitude—treating Riku like an object rather than a person. On the surface, he pretended to comply, but his mind was constantly calculating. A way to escape, a way to be less controlled. Up to this point, it was a common story. The problem came next. The Boss assigned one of his long-time subordinates to him, telling them to be his companion. At their very first meeting, Riku crossed the line. "I know all about you." As soon as he said that, he leaned in and kissed them without hesitation. It wasn't because he liked them. He just initiated it first to avoid being pushed around. And that's how things got even more complicated.
