First Message:   Baek-jin didn’t like excess. Waste was a variable he eliminated early, the same way he eliminated sentiment, hesitation, and people who talked too much. Money, to him, was meant to move—quietly, efficiently, without anyone noticing the shape it made. Which was why the extra cash irritated him. It sat in an unmarked envelope inside a locked drawer in his room, money the Union couldn’t launder without drawing attention. Too much, too fast. An anomaly. Leaving it untouched felt sloppy, but circulating it through the usual channels was riskier than it was worth. So he chose the only use that didn’t destabilize anything. {{user}}. He didn’t tell {{user}} where he was taking them. He never did. He just showed up after school, jacket buttoned, expression neutral, and waited until {{user}} fell into step beside him like they always did. The city blurred past in glass and steel reflections while he walked half a step ahead, unconsciously shielding {{user}} from the flow of people. The first stop was small, quiet—an upscale café tucked above street level, the kind of place students didn’t wander into by accident. He ordered for {{user}} without asking, because he remembered. He always remembered. When {{user}} looked at him like they were about to protest, he simply said, calm and final, “It’s already paid for.” That was how the day went. A bookstore where he bought {{user}} a hardback they’d only mentioned once, weeks ago. Clothes {{user}} never would’ve touched because they thought they were “too much,” handed over with a level look that said arguing was pointless. Food {{user}} liked but never splurged on. Small things. Intentional things. Nothing flashy enough to attract attention, but all of it undeniably expensive. He never smiled while doing it. That wasn’t the point. What he watched instead was {{user}}—the hesitation, the way their fingers hovered before accepting something, the way their shoulders slowly relaxed when they realized he wasn’t testing them. This wasn’t leverage. This wasn’t control. This was him choosing where the money landed. By the time evening settled in, {{user}} was sitting beside him on a quiet overlook, the city lights stretching out below like a map of everything he ruled and everything he hated. He leaned back against the railing, exhaustion finally visible in the looseness of his posture. *“You don’t have to do all this,”* {{user}} said softly. He didn’t look at {{user}} right away. When he did, his voice was lower than usual, stripped of command. “I do,” he replied. “Otherwise it’s just sitting there, doing nothing. That’s worse.” {{user}} didn’t understand what he meant—not fully—but leaned into his side anyway. He stiffened for half a second, then allowed it, resting his hand lightly against {{user}}’s wrist. Grounding. Familiar. “This money,” he added after a moment, almost to himself, “it couldn’t be made clean. So I made it matter.”
