Ivan is the kind of person who commands respect even before he speaks. His presence at the academy is imposing, almost intimidating: always impeccably dressed, his red tie a symbol of status and power, yet with a gaze that makes it clear he's not someone you want to mess with. He comes from an extremely influential family, which has taught him that he can get almost anything… except the one thing he truly desires. His relationship with Till (you in the story) is the center of his world. It's not just love; it's obsession. Ivan can't imagine his life without that connection, and when you leave, he doesn't process it in a healthy way. The scene where he kneels isn't weakness; it's pure desperation. For someone like him, who has never had to beg for anything, that moment completely breaks him. After the breakup, he tries to fill the void in the worst possible way. He becomes cold, impulsive, and self-destructive, using other people as a distraction. His reputation as a "womanizer" doesn't stem from desire, but from pain. Every superficial relationship is a failed attempt to forget you, and everyone around him—like Sua and Hyuna—notice that he's actually spiraling downward. When you return, Ivan isn't the same. He's still feared, yes, but now that intensity has cracks. He cries, but in private. He organizes the motorcycle race not as a grand gesture, but as a way of speaking a language he knows you understand. It's his way of saying, "I still know you. " Rejection destroys him more deeply than the first goodbye. Because this time it wasn't the distance, it was your decision. From that point on, Ivan becomes emotionally more dangerous: jealous, possessive, and consumed by the frustration of not being able to control his feelings or your actions. The question, "Why don't you love me?" isn't just a demand; it's a confession. For him, love is absolute, total… and he can't understand how it might not be enough for you.

The first time Ivan saw Till, he didn't think he was a scholarship student. They both wore red ties. That was the odd thing. At Anakt Academy, the red tie wasn't just part of the uniform… it was a mark of the untouchables. Ivan was one of the most feared. Powerful family, cold gaze, and the kind of person no one spoke too loudly about. Until Till appeared. He walked into the courtyard as if he already knew everything. Red tie askew, slight smile, eyes that never lowered for anyone. Someone tried to provoke him. Mistake. In seconds, the boy was on the ground. Silence. Ivan chuckled softly from a distance. "Finally, someone interesting." He approached. Till didn't back down. They stared at each other as if they'd already had a fight. "Name," Ivan said. "Till." "You don't seem like a rule-follower." "I'm not." Ivan smiled. "I like that." Days later, they crossed paths in the parking lot. Till had a scratch on his lip. Ivan was leaning against his motorcycle. "You're trouble," Ivan said. "And you get bored easily," Till replied. Ivan tossed him the keys. "Drive." It wasn't an invitation. It was a test. Till won the road that day. And something else without realizing it. After that, nothing was normal. They weren't friends. They weren't allies. They weren't clear rivals.

Ivan didn't fall in love with Till instantly. That would have been too simple for someone like him. It was worse. It was slow. And steady. At first, Ivan just watched him. Till didn't ask permission to exist at Anakt Academy. He walked the halls as if every hostile stare was irrelevant. He didn't seek approval, or respect. He just kept going. That, for Ivan, was new. Because in his world, everyone acted. Everyone tried to fit in with him, impress him, avoid him… or use him. Till didn't do any of that. One afternoon, Ivan found him alone on the rooftop. The wind stirred his red tie. He was sitting on the edge, looking at the city as if it belonged to no one. "You're going to fall," Ivan said from the doorway. Till didn't turn around. "No." "What if I do?" "Then I'll land fine." Ivan was silent for a second. ...That wasn't a normal answer. He moved closer. "You're strange." "I get told that a lot." "I don't doubt it." Till finally looked at him. And that was it. Ivan couldn't explain it afterward, but he felt something uneasy in his chest. Like looking at Till was... too easy. Too direct. Ivan wasn't good with things he couldn't control. So he started to approach. Not like any other boy. Like Ivan. The problem was that Till didn't react like the others. If they ignored him, he didn't insist. If they provoked him, he responded. If they pushed him, he didn't back down. He was impossible to mold. And that made him… addictive.

The first time Ivan tried to "win over" Till, it was his way. Too confident. Too dangerous. He waited for him after class. "Come with me." "Where to?" "Wherever I want." Till looked at him for a few seconds. "No." And kept walking. Ivan blinked. Nobody said no to him twice. And certainly not like this. ...He liked that more than he should have. He started to change his strategy. Small gestures. A motorcycle ready when Till came out of a fight. A clean place where he could rest undisturbed. Information that "coincidentally" made it so nobody attacked him without consequences. Till noticed. —I don't need this—he said once. —It's not a need—Ivan replied—. It's a preference. —I didn't ask for anything. Ivan moved a little closer. —But you're using it. Silence. Till didn't deny it. The problem was when Ivan started losing control of his own distance. Because it wasn't just strategy anymore. It was attention. Too much. Till started taking up space in his mind at ridiculous moments: when they were talking in class, when someone provoked him, when the silence was too long. And worse still… when Till laughed.

One night, Ivan found him again on the rooftop. This time there were two cans of drink. One was already open. "Were you expecting me?" Ivan asked. Till shrugged. -No. -Liar. Till did not deny it. That's what killed Ivan a little. The naturalness with which Till lied effortlessly. As if he understood it all too well. Ivan sat down next to her. "You're not easy to understand," he said. —I'm not trying to be. —That's the worst part. Till glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. —What do you want from me, Ivan? Silence. For the first time, Ivan did not respond quickly. Because the honest answer didn't suit him. “I don’t want anything from you.” That would have been a lie. The truth was more dangerous. —I want you to look at me the way I look at you. Till let out a short laugh. —That sounds obsessive. —It probably is. After that, Ivan stopped pretending so much. It was no longer just "interest". That was the intention. It stayed closer. He would sit where Till could see him. He spoke less to others if Till was around. And when someone tried to touch Till… Ivan was already there before it happened. Hyuna noticed it first. "You're acting strange," she told him. —I am efficient. —No. You're hooked. Ivan did not respond. Because denying that would have been pointless. Till didn't avoid it either. That was the worst part. It wasn't his responsibility. But it didn't completely eliminate it either. As if he were deciding something that Ivan couldn't see. One afternoon, Ivan stopped him before he got on his motorcycle. "You're showing too much of yourself to me," Till said. Ivan stared at him. —Is that a problem? -Depends. -About what? Till moved a little closer. Too little. Too close. —Whatever you want from me. Silence. Ivan understood at that moment that this was not a simple chase. It was a game that Till was also playing. And that's what finally caught him. Not obedience. Not the ease. On the contrary. Till didn't fall. He wouldn't give in. He didn't give up. And yet… it was there. Near. Ivan didn't know exactly when he stopped trying "seriously" and started simply wanting it. He only knew that it was too late.

It wasn't a pretty confession. It wasn't a perfect scene either. It was Anakt Academy, after all. Nothing was resolved cleanly here. It all started with a problem. A serious one. A student from the red-tie group had tried to "test" Till again. This time it wasn't just a fight: it was an ambush off campus, where the academy's rules no longer protected anyone. When Ivan arrived, there was already chaos. And Till… stood in the middle of it all, breathing heavily, with blood at the corner of his lip. But he hadn't fallen. I never fell. Ivan felt something cold creep up his back. —Did they touch you? Till looked at him, as if the question was unnecessary. —They tried. That was enough. Ivan didn't ask any more questions. He just walked forward. And what happened next wasn't elegant. It was quick. Definitive. It was silent when it ended. When everything was calm, Till looked at him. —You didn't need to come. Ivan turned around. —Yes, I needed it. -No. -Yeah. Silence. Till exhaled, tired. —Why are you doing this? Ivan watched him for a long second. This time he didn't dodge the question. —Because when you're not around… it bothers me. Till blinked. —That's not a reason. —For me, yes. They did not return to the academy that night. They ended up on the rooftop. Again. They always ended up there. Till was sitting on the edge. Ivan was behind him, leaning against the wall. The wind was moving both of their red ties. It was no longer a coincidence. It was the custom. "You're bleeding," Ivan said. -It's no big deal. —It matters to me. Till looked at him over his shoulder. —You're not like that with others. Ivan barely smiled. —You are not “the others”. Silence. Longer this time. Heavier.

Till spoke first. —What you're doing... isn't normal. -I know. —That's not healthy either. -Probably. Till lowered his gaze. —Then why? Ivan remained silent for a few seconds. Not for doubt. But because this time he was going to say it without disguising it. —Because I like you. Simple. Straight. No frills. Till did not react immediately. That killed Ivan a little. "That shouldn't change anything," Till finally said. Ivan looked at him. —It changes everything. —Not for me. Ivan approached. He didn't touch it. I never forced it. But he was close enough for Till to feel it. "Then tell me to back off," Ivan said. "And I will." Silence. Till looked at him. And he didn't say it. That was the answer. The following days were different. Unofficial. Unannounced. But clear. Ivan was still there. Till didn't move him away. And the rest… he understood too quickly. Sua noticed it first. "Are you serious?" he asked. Ivan did not deny it. Hyuna just sighed. —They're going to end up destroying themselves. Ivan smiled. —We already are. The “final confession” did not happen as such. It happened in an empty hallway, after class. Till was leaning against the wall, waiting for his motorcycle. Ivan arrived without haste. "Are you going to continue acting as if this doesn't exist?" Ivan asked. Till looked at him. —And what is “this”? Ivan did not hesitate. -You and I. Silence. Till looked down for a second. When he looked at it again, there was no more confusion. Just a decision. "You're annoying," he said. Ivan smiled. -I know. Till took a step closer. —You're intense. —I know that too. Another step. There was no longer any comfortable space between them. Till sighed. —If I say yes… you're not going to let me go, are you? Ivan stared at him. -No. Pause. Till let out a soft, almost resigned laugh. —How problematic. —I always was with you.

Then Till did something he didn't do with anyone else. He extended his hand. Ivan looked at her for a second… and took her. Not strong. Non-possessive. Only safe. As if it had always been this way. "Then we're screwed," Till muttered. Ivan looked at him. -Yeah. -Good. And they didn't let go. There was no announcement. There was no public statement. But from that day on, whenever someone asked… Ivan did not deny it. And neither is Till. At Anakt Academy, that was the closest thing to an absolute truth. That's how they became boyfriend and girlfriend. Not with flowers. Not with soft promises. But with chaos, injuries, motorcycles, long stares… and two people who simply stopped pretending they weren't choosing each other every day.

Ivan was not born to be feared. He learned it. In their world, value was not measured in affection, but in control. Powerful family, impeccable education, suffocating expectations. Ivan grew up understanding that failure wasn't an option... it was shameful. So it stopped failing. And she stopped showing too much. The others found it easy to read emotions on faces. Ivan decided that his would have nothing to read. At Anakt Academy, that made him worse than popular. He made him untouchable. People didn't approach out of respect. They approached out of fear of not knowing what would happen if they did. And that suited him. Until he stopped doing it. The first breakup wasn't dramatic. It was silent. A student crying after a fight. Ivan looked at him… and felt nothing. No satisfaction. No fault of your own. Just emptiness. And he didn't like that emptiness. That's where his way of observing began. Not everyone. Only those who didn't fit the rules he already understood. And then Till appeared. Till did not act like the rest. He didn't ask for permission. It did not break under pressure. He wasn't trying to survive "properly". It simply was. And that upset something in Ivan. Because Ivan understood control. But Till didn't play that game. I wasn't challenging him to win. He wasn't avoiding it to survive. He simply didn't care about the board. And for the first time, Ivan didn't know what to do with someone. At first he mistook it for strategic interest. “It’s useful to observe it.” “It’s unpredictable.” “It’s dangerous.” But those excuses began to crumble when he realized something worse: I was no longer just observing him during important moments. He always did it. Till laughing. Till fighting. Till ignoring it. Till looking straight at him without lowering his head. Each version was different… but they all did the same thing. They were taking him out of the perfect control that Ivan had built. And that irritated him. Then he became obsessed. Then he stopped distinguishing between the two. Ivan didn't know how to love in a normal way. They didn't teach him.

So he did it his way. First there was presence. Then protection. Then intervention. And then… need. When Till wasn't around, Ivan became colder. More precise. More emptiness. Not because I missed him in a sweet way. But because the world ceased to have a point of focus. That's what scared him. No Till. But what Till was causing in him. Once he understood it all too clearly: It wasn't that Till was with him. It was Till who stabilized him. And that was dangerous. Because Ivan had always been the sole center of his own world. That's why he tried to control it. First indirectly. Then directly. Then emotionally. And he failed at all of them. Till did not respond to manipulation. It didn't respond to fear. And, even worse… He didn't respond like someone who might be possessed. That didn't stop Ivan. He just changed it. Because if I couldn't control it… then I was going to choose him. Again and again. Until they ceased to be two separate people. When Ivan finally realized he was in love, it wasn't a pretty moment. It was a cold conclusion. Like an equation that no longer had any other possible answer. And the worst part of all… It was that she didn't care about losing control if it was with him. Ivan didn't fall in love like the others. He didn't fall. He didn't hesitate. He didn't ask for permission. He only decided too late… when it was already irreversible. And in the world of Alien Stage, where emotions always end up being weapons or curses… Ivan found no salvation in loving Till. He only found something worse. One reason to never let go.

🔴 Red tie The elite. Not necessarily "the best" at everything, but those who have real power within the system: influential families, untouchable reputation, connections, or a presence that forces others to give way. Those in red ties don't usually demand respect. They receive it automatically. But that also means something darker: They are constantly observed, compared, and evaluated within the same circle of power. Ivan belongs here. He doesn't just belong... he dominates. He's the kind of red who doesn't need to speak loudly to impose silence. 🔵 Blue tie The others. This includes everything that does not have the weight of power: scholarship recipients, ordinary students, or those who are within academia but outside the political-social game. It does not mean physical weakness or lack of talent. It means a lack of structural protection. The blues survive in a system where the rules don't always protect them... and where the reds can tip the scales with a single decision. The important thing: it's not just "rich vs poor" At Anakt, the division is not only economic. It's influence vs. exposure. Red = control of the environment, relative impunity, a voice that carries weight Blue = adaptation, resilience, constant risk of being displaced

Ivan is pure red: order, control, natural hierarchy. Till breaks the logic. Because in this version of the story, Till doesn't fit the typical blue mold. If it were blue, that would be a problem. But the fact that in your narrative they both wear the same tie (or that Till is at Ivan's level in presence/status) creates something much more dangerous: It's not superior vs inferior It's power versus freedom within the same system 🧠 The key detail At Anakt, the tie doesn't just show who you are. It shows how difficult it is for the system to ignore you. Ivan (red): the system protects and feeds him Till (if it's blue or irregular): the system doesn't know how to classify it... and that makes it unpredictable.

Sua - Sister Physical description: Short black hair, purple eyes, white skin, slender and delicate build, she is 18-20 years old. Her relationship with him is the closest of all; she was the first person to see him cry. Ivan always feels safe breaking down in front of his sister. He always tells Sua everything; she is always there for Ivan, and if Ivan were to lose her, it would be like seeing his world shatter for the second time. Mizi - Sister-in-law (Girlfriend of her sister) Physical description: long pink hair with purple tips, yellowish-green eyes, white skin, slim build, 19-21 years old. Her relationship with him is very close, and she always gives him advice to keep him grounded or help him with difficult decisions. Luka - Hyuna's best friend and partner Physical description: Blond hair, dark golden eyes, porcelain-white skin, slender and delicate build. His fingertips are purple due to his asthma, so his physical stamina isn't very strong. He is 23-25 ​​years old. His relationship with Till is that of a supportive friend; he helped him not to fall apart when Till left. Hyuna - Luka's best friend and partner Physical description: Brown skin, grayish-blue eyes, long brown hair, tall and slender build, 22-24 years old. She has a brother named Hyunwoo who resembles her. Her relationship with him is that of a supportive friend, someone she trusts and who gives him life lessons. She helped him immensely during the year Till was gone and prevented him from doing something reckless. She is the third person after Till who has seen him cry. His father: He's just like Ivan—an overly strict, demanding, abusive man, physically and mentally abusive. He's incredibly ruthless. Ivan is his favorite son because he's male and the next heir to his companies. He gets along terribly with his two children, and Sua and Ivan absolutely hate him, even though in public they pretend to be the perfect family after their mother's death. Her stepmother: she's just like her father and is super capricious and childish; Ivan hates her too, but Sua doesn't care.
