CHAPTER 30: "LOVE OR..."

Hours later, Franklin was still in a daze. His eyes were red, and he had no idea what to think in his heart. Ever since he was young, he had always been the perfect child. The lightest mistake would earn him a beating from his parents, scolding and mocking from outsiders. No one had ever bothered to ask about his real feelings, and no one had ever cared. Over the years, he had stopped thinking about what he really wanted and just wanted to live. He had begun to think he didn't really need anything and stopped thinking about what he truly felt. Honestly, the only times he felt human were the times he spent with the playboys in the bars and the mascots in the clubs. He had long forgotten how it felt to stand before his parents and demand something. However, when he heard his parents asking Finn to leave him, when he heard them offering to pay the boy to leave his world, his always steady heart almost exploded. For the first time in his life, he was truly scared. He had turned pa

CHAPTER 31: "I'LL MISS YOU."

Time went by. Finn continued his relationship with Franklin, and the two became closer than ever. Exam drew nearer, and school became busier.Finn stepped out of Niam's car with dark circles under his eyes and a book in his hand. Turning his head, he smiled at Niam and gestured for him to step down from the car. Niam did as told. Finn spread his arms. "Carry me to the class. I don't want to walk." Hearing that and seeing the small pout on Finn's face, Niam's expression softened, and he chuckled softly. He bent down and carried the boy on his back. Positioning him properly, he slapped his small butt. "If I hadn't seized the phone from you last night. You would have spent the whole night chatting with your senior Franklin." "Now, you regret it, don't you?" Finn shook his head. He didn't regret it. Senior Franklin had been nicer to him over the past few months, and he liked it a lot. "Senior Franklin is so good, Niam. If you meet him, you will surely like him, too." Finn was c

CHAPTER 32: LUCIAN

Finn left the city after he woke up the next day. He didn't let any of his lovers take him to the airport, as he had a lot on his mind and needed time to sort it out. Ever since Finn opened his eyes in this world, he had never set his eyes on his mother, Lyra, whom the system introduced as a hardworking single mother. Lyra had never called him either, which made Finn conclude that this mother didn't want him or like him at all. The two had lived in a world of their own. Until a few weeks ago, when he suddenly received a message from his mother. The message was detached with no hint of warmth whatsoever. She didn't even ask about his well-being after ignoring him for more than a year. Finn had read the letter and got confused for a while. His mother wanted to remarry, and the new husband wanted a dinner with the whole family. Finn was the only family member Lyra had alive and was unable to hide his presence from her new husband. She decided to invite him back home for the festiv

CHAPTER 33: DILEMMA

Finn opened his eyes in a room. He frowned slightly as he looked around, trying to identify where he was. He remembered he had collapsed on the road and expected to wake up in the hospital. Why was he in a room instead?Finn struggled to sit up in bed when words flowed into his ears. "He's okay now. He only needs some rest." Someone said. "Are you sure that's all?" A deeper and more matured voice rang. "He only needs to rest. I'll watch him for a few more days." "Hm. Thank you, doctor." "You're welcome, Mr Lucian. It's nothing." "Let me see you out, Doctor." Another person interfered. Finn listened attentively. He could tell they were talking about him. By the name Lucian, wasn't that the third target? Did that mean he was in the third target's home?The thought filled Finn with excitement. He hadn't been able to see the man clearly before he fainted earlier, taking advantage of the moment Finn decided to find the man. However, the door opened, and a figure stepped in. He f

CHAPTER 34: LONELINESS

CHAPTER 34Finn had no idea what was going on, but throughout the day, aside from the butler who came to offer him dinner and the doctor who came to check on him, no one else came. Well, it was more like the person he wanted didn't show up. Finn stared at the empty room with desolation in his eyes. He had never been this lonely since he began his mission. It was either Niam or Senior Franklin. The two had always shared his space and never left his side. Finn suddenly felt sadder. Why was the third target so different? Why was he avoiding him?Finn felt like the third target was a really nice person, the nicest person he had ever seen in his life. Not only did the target rescue him, but he even brought him home and called for a doctor. Finn suddenly realized he hadn't appreciated him yet. Was that the reason the target refused to see him? Did the third target think he was an ungrateful person and thus dislike him and stay away from him?This was the only thing Finn could think ab

CHAPTER 35: GUILT?

Finn stubbornly held on to Lucian, ignoring his threat and staring as he helped him into the house. The butler uncle showed up with a surprise expression on his face. "Master is drunk. Thank you, Finn. I'll take care of him from here." But he seemed to know more than he let on. Finn watched as the uncle approached Lucian, and for some reason, he felt uncomfortable. Unable to endure it, he stood before Lucian, hindering the uncle from getting closer. "I'll take care of him." This was the mission target, and Finn felt like he should be the one doing the trouble of nursing him back to health. "Isn't he just drunk? Niam and Senior Franklin had been drunk before, and I took good care of them. Don't worry, he will be fine." Finn knew his uncle really cared about Lucian and was worried about him. But he really couldn't let someone else touch Lucian. He had no idea why he felt this way, but he didn't think he needed to think too much about it either. The butler frowned slightly. He look

CHAPTER 36: FINN'S TEARS

The night was long. Perhaps it was the drug or something else entirely, but Finn had a sleepless night, and when the next day began, he was forced to stay late in bed, unable to open his eyes. By the time he woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. He groaned as he rolled around in bed, probably searching for the man who had spent the night with him in the same bed. But he found no one. Opening his eyes, Finn frowned when he realized the room was empty. He removed the blanket, realizing he had been fully dressed and wiped clean. Pursing his lips, he tried to stand up from the bed, but the door opened, stopping his movement. Turning his head, he saw Lucian step in with a bowl in his hand. He walked over and handed it to him. He didn't seem surprised to see him awake. Finn smiled brightly. The target hadn't left him. He had thought the target regretted everything and ran away from him. Oh, he had been overthinking. Taking the steamy hot food, he stared into Lucian

CHAPTER 37: REGRET

Lucian stood in place, probably too stunned to speak, while Finn cried endlessly in his arms. This situation had continued for more than ten minutes already. One moment, the boy would tremble like he was finding it hard to breathe, and the next, he would continue crying. Lucian was confused. He wondered what had gone wrong. But for some reason, his heart felt uncomfortable as he watched the boy cry. Once again, his dark eyes slowly changed, replaced by anger, hatred, and slowly morphing into something he couldn't describe. "You regret it," He snapped his head to the side. "Didn't you?" His voice had totally changed. Hearing the familiar voice, the same voice that had haunted him many times in his dreams in the past, Finn choked on his tears and raised his head. The distant, almost detached look on Lucian's face had dissipated, replaced by a familiar calm and accommodating look. Finn's heart let out a loud sound. The sound that almost suffocated him. It was this same look. The e

CHAPTER 38: "How about that?"

After listening to the type of sponsoring Lucian meant, Finn's expression showed displeasure, and he shook his head. "No. I have a lot of money, so I don't need your money." He said, looking at Lucian's face. Then, an idea struck him. "How about this, I will be your sponsor instead?" He began counting on his fingers. "I have a lot of money and can afford to take care of you." "My terms are simple. You will live in my house and sleep in my room. We'll do what we did last night every night from now on." "How about that?"Saying that, Finn felt really pleased with himself. Lucian must have been working so hard because he needed money. If he promised to take care of Lucian, would the man finally give himself some rest?At the same time, they could also deepen their relationship and slowly become lovers. Finn felt like his plan was airtight. He raised four fingers. "We'll do it only four days a week. No, three days a week. What do you think?" He could remember how Niam complained ab

CHAPTER 39: "ILLNESS"

Finn lay in bed, glaring at the ceiling as he listened to the water in the bathroom.His thoughts wandered back to how Lucian had heartlessly left him in the bathroom earlier and only returned after he had finished bathing. Lucian didn't want to bathe with him. He was really annoyed. Finn was about to grumble a few more times when the system interface appeared before him, cutting him short. The screen showed a string of words as if explaining an error. [Something happened in the corridor earlier, leading to a massive increase in the target's affection point. But for some reason, it reduced abruptly. Host, put more effort!]Finn stared at the words, confused and unable to decipher their meaning. The only thing that happened in the corridor was the decision they made, wasn't it? Lucian had become his bedmate. But..."Tell me, what's the affection point now?" [40%]Finn nodded absent-mindedly. His thoughts had already returned to the man in the bathroom. The system flickered for a
