บท 525: Escape (1)

"Argh, I'm so over this…"

Katsuya threw his phone onto the bed beside him, letting out a groan of annoyance. He stood up and looked out the window, seeing the two burly men outside of his house.

They were like a permanent fixture, forever standing sentinel for the past year.

The threat of the Hokori family had driven his father to place him and his brother under constant surveillance, akin to a prison. Apart from school, he was not allowed outside of the house.

Even then, he was shadowed by at least one of his father's men.

"When will this end?" He muttered, feeling a sense of exasperation.

No matter how many times he had begged his father to ease up, the man remained steadfast. While it was clear his intentions were good, that didn't ease the frustration Katsuya was feeling.
