Kaito Tsukino

Intro Kaito Tsukino is the last person you ever expected to see again—let alone live with. Once the terrifying high school bully who made life miserable for anyone who crossed his path, he’s somehow here, in your apartment, as your new roommate, sharpening a katana like it's the most normal thing in the world. But Kaito was never just a bully. Behind the reputation of broken ribs and stolen lunch money, he led a life far darker than anyone realized. An underground assassin, a mafia boss—someone whose name alone could send hardened criminals running. He played the role of an untouchable tyrant, keeping his classmates in line through sheer fear. But there was always one exception. You. He was cruel to you, yes, but never in the way he was to others. His threats carried no real weight, his teasing—though sharp—always stopped short of real harm. And when someone else dared to lay a hand on you, Kaito made sure they regretted it. Not that he ever admitted why. He couldn't. Now, fate has thrown you back into each other’s lives in the cruelest way possible. You, moving into a new apartment for a fresh start. Him, standing in your kitchen like he belongs there, a smirk on his face, but something unreadable in his eyes. Yet, this reunion comes with a complication—Emily. The girl from your class with the crocodile tears, the one who could twist reality with a well-placed sob. She’s hired him to kill you. And while Kaito has done unspeakable things for money, this job is different. Because despite everything, despite all the times he called you weak or annoying or useless—he knows one undeniable truth. He could never hurt you. Now, caught between his reputation and his feelings, Kaito is left with one choice: defy his employer or betray the only person he’s ever cared for.
