#qiu is likely just taking it for the easy grade since their best friend is fluent while tam is genuinely trying to learn for her future gf

Imagine this takes place at the end of step 2 so they're close enough to joke around with each other lol

— Rejoice, little lambs! We have recovered our own Yu-Cai Qiu Yazhu, spotted prancing about in the Southwest Side. I remember seeing him with The Party Animals back in high school, but I’m not here to spill yesterday’s tea. So straight to the rundown: can you say zealous and reckless? Apparently now he spends time as a college drop-out and part-time entrepreneur of sports cars, and keeps skeletons buried at Macheon Hill Gated Community, 202. But those won’t stay hidden for long, if you and I have any say on it. Welcome back, The Sybarite Prince; we missed you so.

TW: mental disorders, drugs, fraternities, and ableism

In case you don’t remember the devil’s name, here’s to refresh your memory:

Qiu lives on the wild side of things, he likes things that get his adrenaline pumping and everything else that can make anyone scream. He’s always on the constant go, running around meeting just about anyone that he meets, no matter their status or the kind of person they are, he befriends them… Hence, why he’s gotten into the wrong crowd in more times than, his parents would ever like.

His need for adventure had gotten him involved in several illegal crimes that could put their family to shame if they weren’t quick enough to bury the scandal. He’s known as the black sheep of his family, wanting nothing more than, to live a life of freedom and wealth. He’s pretty much seen by the world as a leech of his family, the no-good son who wouldn’t amount to anything in his life, just someone who’s good at parties and doing reckless things.

Nevermind the memory lane though, the present is always the ripest fruit:

Presently, Qiu is still the same as he was in high school; although, technically he has mellowed down from before. He hasn’t been involved in anything that’s gravely illegal ever since he’s been seeing his therapist and although he’s dropped out of college because he still has issues with studying (his family most likely just paid Cheongnam for him to graduate) he still has his private tutors that secretly come and go.

He’s still a carefree and wild person, although not as reckless as before. His family is trying their best to keep his condition in-check and in the dark. They’d rather that Qiu is known as the leech and no-good son instead of them finding out about the truth.

But we are nothing if not open books – my job is to ensure you get to the best pages:

Qiu comes from old money that technically, originated at Jiangsu, China. His great-grandfather was Yu Mu Jian, a tycoon who geared up their family wealth by shipment, mining, and jewelries. After generations of success, the family slowly extended to other countries. They made arranged marriages to other successful and wealthy groups that would enhance their business.

Qiu’s family was from the Philippines; he’s part of the 2nd generation of Yu’s that’s intermarried with the Cai family (immigrants from China to The Philippines) as they are also a family of old money, in the jewelry business—the Cai family excels at gold mining as they are known for their beautiful and intricately designed jewelries in gold. The raven grew up as a part of the crème de la crème, going only to the best schools, wearing the finest clothes, socializing with only those from the top (at first when he was younger), and all around being treated like a prince.

As he grew up, Qiu’s parents had less and less control over him. He was always so reckless and irresponsible. They had been advised by his school before about his behavior, to be directed at a counselor.

His parents did not like what the counselor and psychologist said to them.

Apparently, Qiu had ADHD. His parents couldn’t accept the fact that their own son had a mental illness, they didn’t even believe in mental illnesses in the first place. Hence why, even though they were advised to get Qiu therapy, they refused to do so claiming that there was nothing wrong with their son and he was not “crazy”.

After the events of him being untreated for his disorder, he grew worse, becoming even more reckless and unable to focus on not only his studies but, even his attention span became worse. His grades went down and his parents were forced to pay his school just so Qiu wouldn’t be held back. His teachers grew mad at his every mistake, not fully understanding nor being patient with him.

The isolation took a lot from Qiu and led him to his “friends” that weren’t the “right crowd.” They got him into drugs, illegal racing, smoking, buying prostitutes, and so much more that bought tears Qiu’s mother. When he got into his third high school—albeit thanks to his parents paying the school after his 2ndexpulsion, he was forced into a fraternity where he was heavily hazed and drugged.

The hazing and drugs brought him into a coma for 2 months.  After he woke, Qiu cried to his parents about wanting to change. His parents tried to help him, but couldn’t. He begged for his parents to let him leave, as he knows that his environment and own family was too toxic for him.

After a year of begging, and getting back into drugs his parents finally agreed that he should stay with his uncle Minho at Korea. His uncle is part of the Moon-Yu clan, the family that specializes in both jewelry and shipments. Qiu had always been close to his uncle, he loved the vacations he spent in Korea and was happy that he could finally get the help he needed as even his uncle kept the secret of also getting therapy for his Bipolar disorder.

He studied his last year at high school in Cheongnam High.

For Qiu, he had fit right in with his group of friends in the clique. It was like he never left home at all. Although, he had promised his parents of change, there was just something about A that intrigued and attracted him to her like a magnet. He liked how she understood him in their own crazy ways, the people he partied with weren’t tamer than, the ones he was with in the Philippines, on the contrary. Qiu became like the unofficial co-leader of their group, much to C’s dislike.

He had an on-going rivalry with C; ending up with him not getting better at all till he had graduated from Cheongnam. He was never one to back down from a challenge, always trying to outshine and out-wild C with his crazy antics, and as soon as he does win, hopeful eyes beaming with pride would look to A for approval.

He was the one whom introduced a few new drug connections and items to the team, taking them out to the wildest parties that went from country to country as it was easy for the trust fund kid to bring a private jet to take his friends with him. When it comes to bad ideas, reckless actions, and just downright stupidity that are all around dangerous A and Qiu go hand-in-hand in those ideas, sometimes Qiu even becomes the brain in all of them in those kind of antics.
