《Dare: Love within the student council》same differences

Bang Yedam clicked his tongue as he traced the antique with his finger. His eyes focused on the round object, he knew Haruto would worship him for having this in his possession.
He traced the cold metal with his long porcelain-like bony fingers, eyes captured by the intricate details of the designs engraved on the round surface.
He flipped the antique item on his hands and stared at his reflection. He closed his eyes slightly as he inhaled. He remembered the mechanics of the game as explained by the legal representative of the late Bang Yoohan, Seunghun's father.
"He left you, your grandfather's descendant to be exact, this item in hopes that you might find meaning to his action. But first, you need to know its name"
Yedam had the urge to laugh as he ran his hands on his raven mane, eyes obviously amused at the whole situation. He did not even need to do his research, Haruto had shown him a picture of it once. He wonders how Haruomi-san would react.
"He'd probably offer me the whole of their clan" Yedam chuckled to himself and placed the mirror on the desk. "Yata no Kagami, the one lost in the fire. So the one in Ise shrine is also a replica?" Yedam stared at the burnt part of the mirror, an obvious indication of it surviving the tragic fire.
"Dammie?" Hyunsuk entered the room abruptly, not minding if Yedam had allowed him or not. This was his right, only his. If it was anyone aside from him, even other Kings members, Yedam would probably go into a rage.
"Sukkie hyung" Yedam smiled weakly as he let Hyunsuk seat on his bed.
"How did it go?" asked the blonde college student, who stared at the mirror on the desk. "Yata no Kagami?"
"Or so, I don't know if its original or not"
"Should be. Bang Yoohan is world renowned appraiser and collector"
"But, he was not on the first half of his life. He became a well-known recluse when he was 35."
"Right, have you told the gang about this?" Hyunsuk took the mirror and examined it closely. He was not one with a penchant for antiques so he immediately placed it down after losing interest. "Haruto is gonna go mad with jealousy"

"I was thinking the same" Yedam chuckled as he dropped his body on his comfortable bed, letting the bedframe squeak a little at the sudden weight added.
"So what's this thing got to do with the game?"
"That's the game. I need to find that out"
"Need help?" Hyunsuk stood up from the bed and took the bunch of papers bundled near the desk. He guessed that it would be information about the item and he was right. As he was scanning the details quickly, Hyunsuk absentmindedly recited, "Did you know that the mirror symbolized wisdom and honesty?"
"Honesty? Mirror? Reflection?" Yedam mumbled as his brain tried to untangle the connection between the item and the game. Why the mirror? Because it reflects the holder. You. Why the Yata no Kagami? It symbolizes honesty and wisdom. Who is it reflecting? You, Bang Yoohan's adopted brother's descendant.
"Hyung!" Yedam screamed making Hyunsuk drop the paper he was holding in surprise. "I think I go it"
"Damn it, Dammie. You can have your Eureka moment without trying to stop my heart" Hyunsuk frowned as he stared at Yedam who sat up with a bright and playful grin across his face. "So what is it?"
"I need your help, no, I need Gonnie-hyung's help"
"Then you need my help. Gon's mine so" Hyunsuk laughed as Yedam playfully hit him on the shoulders. "What do you need him for?"
"Some things." Yedam grinned as he fished his phone and dialed the number of Kings number one wingman, Ha Yoonbin. Hyunsuk sighed. Nothing good happens when its Yedam who schemes. He sighed and called Byounggon to tell him about Yedam needing to ask some favors.
Park Jihoon groaned as he woke up, he yawned and immediately reached for his phone that was ringing. He did not bother to check the name on the screen as he answered the call. "Hello?"
"Sorry for disturbing your rest, love" Yoonbin's voice sounded from the other line. Jihoon immediately opened his eyes, a smile on his face as he heard Yoonbin calling him by their pet name. He replied, "It's fine, Bin. You called?"

"I can't?" Jihoon had to admit that Ha Yoonbin's voice sounds so sexy on the phone especially the way he chuckles in his low voice.
"I didn't say you can't. Rather, thank you for calling." Jihoon laughed. Yoonbin does not like talking on the phone too much, he'd rather spend his time with his boyfriend in person than talk with him over the phone so it was odd that he made an untimely call. "So, why did you call? Although, I would accept it if you say you miss me but I believe that's not the case"
"it's true that i'm missing you though?" Yoonbin chuckled making Jihoon's ear feel hot. "but, true. I came with a request"
"For me or for aiur?"
"For both."
"Hm?"
"Can my Park Jihoon accompany me tomorrow on a date?" Jihoon was giddy. It was seldom that his usually calm and cold-looking boyfriend flirts with him proactively. To say that he was giddy with joy was an underestimation, he was beyond cloud nine. He immediately replied, "I'd skip all my class for you tomorrow"
"Hey, you can't do that" Yoonbin scolded but the humor in his tone was still alive. It was obvious that he just found his exclusive hacker too cute for him to bear. "Don't worry, I know your schedule by heart so I'd pick you up tomorrow after your last class"
"Uhum!" Jihoon chuckled merrily. He stood up from his bed and crossed his apartment towards his kitchen counter and tiptoed for him to reach the cabinet where he kept the glasses. He'd need a glass of water since his throat feels parched. "And, what's your request for Aiur?"
Since the case with Mashiho's clan, Aiur was brought back into action. He is now working under the supervision of Ha Yoonbin, Ha Hyunsang's sole successor. Despite being a college student, Ha Yoonbin is now starting to take over the family business and restarting the abandoned plans his grandfather had once started. Kim Junkyu, or Detective Koala, is also back in business but he is working as a police advisor than a full-time detective.
They settled with police consultations since they really don't want to get into the blacklist of a certain Japanese. Mashiho had been usurping power as the next head of the Takata clan and has been managing some of the responsibilities for the clan even when he's still in Korea. He sometimes needs to fly back and forth to Japan when the business really needs it.
"I need you to find some information for me." Yoonbin's sweet mood immediately turned into strict and serious. Jihoon smiled as he found himself so used to it.
"What information?"
"Anything about Bang Sunghyun, Yedam's grandfather and adopted younger brother of Bang Yoohan"
"Bang Yoohan's brother?"
"Yes. Any problem with it, Ji?" Jihoon furrowed his brows. It was the second time he received a request with a connection to the name Bang Yoohan. Jihoon sighed and replied, "Nothing"
"Are you sure?"
"Yah. I'll browse 'round. Gonna send it to you as soon as possible"
"Good. And, go back to sleep, love. Sweet dreams"
"Sweet dreams, Bin" Jihoon chuckled sweetly as he ended the call. He poured water on his glass and immediately drank it. He stared at the document that he just printed a few hours ago. It was also a request for information. He stared at the picture of a woman looking so prim and proper, she is also connected to Bang Yoohan.
"Yoon Chaein, Bang Yoohan's wife and Bang Sunghyun, Bang Yoohan's younger brother." Jihoon set the glass on the counter, he sighed as he texted his first client. He wrote, Youngie, the information you requested I'll send that to you two days from now.
Jihoon had always felt that Yedam and Doyoung are closely related but had not wanted to cross boundaries between them so he had not put any attention to it. But, somehow his intuition told him that he needs to send both information at the same time. And his intuition has never failed him. This time he'll also trust it. His phone buzzed and a reply was sent. He smiled as he read it.
Take your time, hyung. I'll wait when it's available.
