Iwa’s joke got out of control, and I was receiving strange proposals from all kinds of stalkers.""If it hadn’t been that way, things would have gotten worse." The woman smiled. "You were lucky your cousin protected you.""Since then, I’ve hated homosexuals. Just imagining all that filth makes me nauseous." He ran his hand through his hair and looked at the woman, who remained calm while listening. "Sotomayor told me the other day that my head is full of prejudice about the subject.""It’s a taboo topic," she replied as if she had all the answers. "Did you have any other homosexual or unpleasant experiences that may have directly influenced your prejudice?"The question made him shudder. He remained silent for a few seconds that felt like an eternity while he
"Let’s go back to your homo-phobia. Do you remember when you discovered you felt repulsion toward homo-sexu4l people?""That one’s easy." He opened his eyes, staring at the bluish ceiling. "That happened when I was in high school…"Twelve years earlier…"Tanarro Sempai." A blushing girl with her hair tied with a yellow ribbon stood before him, slightly bowed, eyes closed, holding out a gift. "Sempai, I want to tell you that…""You like me?" a brown-haired boy replied arrogantly. "Is that what you came to say? What’s your name?""Sa… Sa… Sayu… Sayuri." She stammered as her body trembled."Ah, Sayuri… Answer me. Do you like me and want to go out with me?" He looked at her with disdain.Blushing, the girl nodded slightly, keeping her eyes shut and holding out her hands, waiting for him to accept her gift."Who do you think you are?... My family is one of the wealthiest and most powerful in this country. I’m Tanarro Yukio, and you are Sayuri X… You’re nobody." He spoke as if mocking her.
Flashback 4: The Day Before…"Michael! Michael! Dear Michael!" The gray-eyed one hugged the old man’s back playfully."What do you want, miss?" asked the butler discreetly."Today I don’t want Japanese food… Make me kimchi, please! Please!""But you tell me when I’ve already prepared steamed octopus," the old man protested."Let Yukio eat that!" she replied, glancing at the brown-haired man who was rummaging through the refrigerator for a beer. "He’s always hungry and eats everything he finds!""Mr. Tanarro doesn’t eat steamed octopus…" the butler answered, disappointed. "I’ll make your kimchi the way you like it, miss.""Thank you!" she smiled and jumped with joy. "I’ll have kimchi for dinner! I’ll have kimchi for dinner!""Brat!" said the brown-haired man. "How can you ask for kimchi at this hour?""Look who’s talking… Miss ‘I won’t eat steamed octopus.’""Everyone has something they don’t like… Miss, I don’t eat fish even if my life depends on it.""What are you saying?... Let me r
The Italian glanced at him sideways and shook his head."It's not the right time. If I go into the bathroom with you, we might not come out for the rest of the day...""Fine, your loss..." she said, disappearing behind the bathroom door.She reappeared in the living room holding Giulian’s hand, who proudly hugged and kissed her cheeks while defiantly staring at Thomas Won.The man looked at the Italian with envy. He merely gave a grim smile and occasionally glanced at the Japanese man, who remained seated in the room, now drinking another beer. He seemed calm and indifferent to the Italian's provocations."It’s just a façade. Tanarro is more than just Sotomayor’s cousin— I can tell by the way they look at each other."He didn’t say much. Sotomayor sat on the large couch, and beside her, the Italian kept pampering her and treating her affectionately, making it quite clear what kind of relationship they had. Yukio couldn’t stand the tension between the men, who kept glaring at each othe
The brown-haired man stood up and walked towards the door, descended again to the gallery room, and stopped in front of the large portrait. He looked at it with nostalgia."I forgot that Tori used to paint... This is the painting everyone talks about, the one you posed for her... Sotomayor, how could

"All the money is gone! We're broke!""What do you mean broke?" The piggy bank was turned upside down and shaken, trying to get some money to fall."Shake that piggy bank!
