At the apartment near the hills where Toji lives in South Korea, June is seen in the yard. The bench creaked softly as it holds up his weight.
"Hey brat, how old are you?" June almost shocked, looked behind him. "Did I scare ya'?"
"No..." June looked forward at nothing in particular as he was lost in his mind. "Am 14... I don't remember when I had a birthday so my age might be inaccurate."
"That so?" Toji takes a sit with a beer in hand, gulping down the contents of the bottle. "Tell me... What do you hate the most?"
"Huh? What kind of question is that?" June blurted out in annoyance. "Well if I have to say... It would be my clan... well not actually my clan but how they do things."
June bows his head. "Well sorry to break it to you kid, but that's how the Jujutsu society works. Bunch of old idiots, whose interest is yielding and keeping to traditions. It annoys me." Toji spat out.
"I hope you're not as annoying as that blue-eyed brat... Hold on! Your eyes are purple and your hair is not exactly white... You sure you're from the Gojo clan?"
June withdraws from Toji getting on his face. "Well... I am. By the way aren't you like our number one enemy in terms of clan and family affairs, last time I checked, the Zenin and Gojo clans aren't exactly the best."
Toji now resumes his former posture as he stands straight. "Just like you said kid, Clan affairs don't pass my vibe check... Don't fuck with that... And don't call me Zenin, it's revolting." Toji walks away to the house, leaving June to stare at his figure.
'So this is the person old man Ashura wants me to live with?' June questions in his mind.

Several days have passed and June is nothing short of bored. The breeze danced with the strands of silver hair on June's head. "June my boy... May I ask where Toji is?" An old lady walks up to the boy with a worried look on her face.
June's face morphs into an annoyed version. "Probably out to go gamble with the grocery budget..." June mumbles under his breath.
The elderly woman sighed. "Toji might never change..."
"...."
June's POV
I still don't like Toji even with the time that's passed. He's addicted to gambling, if he's not gambling, he's drinking, if he ain't drinking he's sleeping. Makes me wonder how Grandma here managed to live this long with Toji.
The morning sun let its rays enter my room, groggily groaned from my bones lying still on the futon. I guess today's another day of...
Nothing?
Mom it's another day. I made my way to the courtyard, but Tonji was already there, dressed in casual wear consisting of a jacket and black pants. A traveling bag by his side
"I got exactly eight minutes left for you to go get changed before I lose my patience." Toji's voice dispelled every groggy thought in my head with what he said.
It didn't take 4 minutes for me to get dressed in a blue T-shirt with Purple lining, running around the arm of the top and blue pants.
Toji stared at me for some moments before he narrowed his eyes, "The fuck... get that mess of rainbow outta my sight, It's blinding me." He said in a disgusting tone, but it annoyed me that he had a problem with my attire.
"Am sorry... but is there---"
"This brat doesn't listen. Get that clothes off!" Toji spoke again, this time his voice dripping with venom and threats.
This left a shiver in my spine as I spoke. "Fine" Sluggishly dragging feet against the ground. Sooner I came back with a black-on-black attire, matching Toji's.
"That's more like it, now c'mon."

"Where are we going exactly?" I asked out of curiosity, my eyes glued to Toji as the bus sped up. The population in the bus was more than it could carry.
"Quit asking questions you brat, but believe it or not, we're going to the Hot springs," Toji said with a grind that put his teeth on the display.
"I don't know if I should be worried about how you got the money to take a trip to a Hot spring or how you even agreed to take care of a child from the Gojo clan." Toji's eyes narrowed as the previous grin on his face disappeared.
"I have no problem with the clan of Gojo, Satoru is a one-time thing, and also how many times have I told you I don't care about clan affairs..." Toji looks around the filled bus. "Besides I was paid so don't go thinking you're some hotshot or something kid."
I raised my eyebrows at his statement. "Well isn't that comforting?"
"Shut up."

The Chungju-si Hot Springs is a popular spot by most people in Korea. Girls in their swimsuits can be seen roaming around. The mountain can be seen, adding to the already beautiful natural vibe the place gives off.
I haven't been to a hot spring or anything so I am kinda excited.
Toji led the way through the building coming across a bunch of teens my age running past us. "You know Toji... I didn't bring my trunks--"
"Baka! you thought we were here to swim in some warm water, you must be crazy. Shit's too expensive." Toji cut me off as he looked forward.
"You know that you should be named super glue on the palms with cash?" It irritates me how this man behaved with financial matters.
"What? I spend money only when necessary."
"So spending them on gambling is necessary?"
"Watch your mouth kid... You know what the real reason why we're here?" Toji stopped to look back at me.
"If it's not soaking in a hot tub, then I wonder what it is?"
Little did I know that this man had something else in mind.
Third person POV
behind the resort of the place the two came to visit, Toji didn't have any mind in the Hot springs but rather...
"eugh!!"
June slides onto the ground due to the impact of Toji's elbow. Toji closed the distance with insane speed as he launched another kick.
Fwoosh!! June barely made a dodge to that devastating kick, grazing the side of his hand. "Not bad kid but I ain't even taking you seriously," Toji said with a grin on his face.
Another severe pain erupted in their ribcage of June, his eyes wondered what caused the pain only to see Toji finished delivering another blow to his torso. His afterimages fade as he comes to a stop.
Zoom!!! June is seen flying through the air as Toji just stares at his ascending image, hands placed on his hips. "Kid can take a hit." He chuckles.
"Hold on!! am not done yet." Toji knew that voice. His face morphs into an annoyed expression. June emerged from the forest above.
June came to a stop, as he raised his hands, guiding his middle. Toji knew what stance that was. "Wing-chun huh?" Toji's lips parted, a grin on full display. "All right then why don't you entertain me, kid."
June smirked as he tightened his fist. 'He's fast but I have---'
Zoom!!!
Toji was behind June. June still looking at the afterimage of Toji until he realized the presence of another behind him.
Thud!!! With a quick block to the face, June defended against the possibility of a knockout, but his legs gave out due to the overwhelming force of the punch. Toji launched at the falling figure of June, but something unexpected happened.
June's hand was full of sand, from when he was sent flying from the first punch from Toji, June used this to blind Toji for a moment to escape being knocked down.
Shrup!!! Toji's feet grazed the ground as he kept a hold of his descending figure due to June disrupting his flow with sand, but as he regained his composure he scanned the area for June, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"The brat ran away... I could have sworn that ----" Toji was cut off as he sensed a stone flying towards him, aiming for his head at an insane speed. Toji leaned back barely dodging the attack, and his eyes scanned for the source of the attack.
Toji noticed the bushes behind him shaking 'Must be the brat' His mind thought. With a swift motion, his hands grabbed June... or so he thought.
"Huh? A damn rabbit." Toji raises an eyebrow as he senses another presence. This time he was certain... but--
Boom a punch came from above. A fist coming at a fast pace. June's face morphs into that of terror as Toji catches his hand in time, flinching as he uses his left to balance himself.
June's purple eyes changed to that of worry thinking about what would come next as Toji held his hand in a firm grasp.
"You..."
"You..."
June tried freeing himself from Toji's grip, as Toji's voice came to play. "You... did good kid."
June's anxiety came to a halt at what Toji had just said. "Huh?... "
"Yeah, I ain't saying it twice." Toji let go of June's hand as he placed his hands back in his pocket, while June rubbed his due to the numb pain from Toji's grip.
"But this ain't the reason either."
"Reason for what exactly?" June tilted his head.
" For bringing you here... I never thought of bringing you here, funny right." Toji chuckles at his joke.
"Then why?"

"I place that on the Park Soon Ho, hopefully, he doesn't suck ass," Toji said as he glanced at the matching on the screen with several other men.
June was at the corner as he just sighed.
