Foreword
How much of a Demon are you?
Wonwoo thinks life is wonderful. Really, he does. Only that, he isn't the kind to live his life by the moment. He prefers the joy of the calmness of his dorm room, simply just seeing the world through the silver-framed sliding door fitted from the floor to the ceiling. It was made of pure tripled tinted glass door that he did not need a window in that room. It was covered flimsily by silky drapes that are drawn closed more often than not.
Alright, he did say he enjoyed looking out but there are just too many annoying things or he must say creatures lurking outside day and night that he prefers to stay in.
Everything is bothersome –with this world or with himself.
All he wanted is to learn music.
But because he belonged to the lesser part of the society, whilst, being that a case, is being highly valued.
In this school, Pleiades–School of the Astrals & Nethers, where the young elites of such caste were sent to, to learn about their origin, significance to the society and proper mating –yes, this school offers that too.
When did it all start? According to Pleiades' education, more than eight-hundred years ago, creatures from not of Earth which feudal people believed as Angels, fell on Earth. That phenomenon attracted the attention of the Nethers, or believed as Demons, to show up on the surface. A battle of domination transpired between the two kinds, almost a century-long of battle, annihilating half of each kind's population.
It was not only that, humans themselves, who were simply caught in the midst of a fight of the supreme had their population almost wiped out. Humans lost their foothold on Earth.
To this day, nobody can tell exactly how and when the Astrals and Nethers have joined hands and found themselves perfectly comfortable with each other –as mates. Some believed humans have played such a huge part in this development. Proof? Only with human blood can either demon or Angel's blood can take form.
Only that, down the history to this day, humans are as rare as diamonds, hence, these humans are no longer called humans, they have now been referred to as Carats.
If there's a more fitting caste for Wonwoo, despite his lineage being of an Astral raised by a Nether family (it's a rather long story), he's definitely one of the few Carats around. Although, nobody really has to know that. His foster Nether family makes sure of that.
Wonwoo has always thought his secret is safe, he never doubted that even once, until Mingyu arrived at his doorstep with the most intimidating smirk expected from a purebred Nether, a quick sniff in the air followed by a shuddering whisper, "How much of a Demon are you?"
