Because of Him [Translated into English]

Prologue

"Leave! I never want to see you again. You're nothing more than a damn opportunist!" That guy wouldn't stop yelling as he pushed me through the hallway. He threw my suitcase to the street and took me out almost dragging me, from his house.

"At the end you will see that I'm not the one who is going to regret this, honey. I know I was the best thing in your pathetic and disgusting life." As always, I only smirked. I pointed my middle finger and took my suitcase. I called a taxi to go to my parents' house.

That wasn't the first time in which one of the many idiots that I "maintained a relationship with" kicked me out of their home due to money incentives. So I knew how to act in a situation like that. Yes, I knew it was bad to play with people's feelings and to take advantage of their money, but that was how I was and I couldn't change that. Nevertheless, I felt bad for using all those people.

My name is Zhang Yixing, I'm a 22-year-old, average height, and a very attractive young man; I'm not the only one who thinks that. As one of the reasons why I have been able to make it this far is thanks to my looks. At the moment, I study at one of the best art academies in the entire city of Seoul, and not so long ago, I used to live in a small apartment with my best friend, Lee Jinki. Two months after the beginning of my third year at the academy, my father found out that his only son was gay and he kicked me out of the house. Luckily, my only friend offered me a place to live.

Even though I wasn't born in a high class family, I have always liked to live a life with a lot of luxuries that I'm sure I deserve. I had always obligated my parents to pay for expensive schools and clothes from recognized brands. They had always granted each of my whims that were related to money and I'm sure that it was the reason they kicked me out of the house upon finding out about my sexual preferences.

Ever since I was a kid, I have lived in Bucheon City that is in the Gyeonggi province. That city was located in-between two of the most important cities in the country; Seoul and Incheon. But living in the city didn't mean that I had money; it just meant I had a middle class family.

Something that I always envied from the other guys in my school was the fact that they had money to burn). They never suffered so that they could get what they want. Instead, since I was a kid, I had to deal with a short budget. That was the reason why, during my adolescence, I had the purpose to look for someone who could be the solution to all my financial problems. I wasn't willing to spend all my life limiting my spending,) when I knew that I deserved a life filled with luxuries and I was almost sure that I would get it since it didn't matter to me in what way I got it. Anyways, with the help of my appearance, I would get it.

That was why, while I was on my senior year of high school, I started looking for a relationship here and there with guys of my age. Even little older men, in order to get the money I needed from them. When I entered university, my life became a bit more difficult since, everyday, I had to travel a long distance to get to the academy in Seoul. Luckily, on the first day of classes, I met a very nice guy. His name was Lee Jinki, a guy a bit taller than me, with brown hair, kind smile, and, who was a chicken lover. But what surprised me was that, despite his economic status being very good, he was a person who didn't care about money. Although his major in the academy was composing and singing, we became close friends.

Onew, how I usually call him affectionately, helped me a lot during my first year in university. He used to take me to the metro station in his car and, sometimes, he would pick me up in the same place in the mornings. Because of this, my daily traveling routine became faster. As time passed by, my friend found out about my sexual preferences and my financial situations. Even then, he never judged me. Instead, he always offered me his support, and during exam weeks he offered me to stay in his apartment so I wouldn't have to travel all the way to my house. More than once, he would offer me to move with him, but I declined his offer.
