Finn's eyes widened the moment the word left his mouth. He quickly covered his mouth and blinked rapidly.

His heart raced even faster.

He had slipped up. Would the second target hate him even more now?

The system's interface showed before him, and the screen flickered, showing numerous watermarks as if it were about to explode from malfunctioning.

Finn felt even more guilty.

Franklin's expression also changed. He looked at Finn with furrowed b

    The two spent the day together after sorting out their rift. None of them had classes for the week, so all through the day, Niam prepared several dishes for Finn. Finn had missed his meals so much, too. Time passed this way, and it was soon past 6 in the evening. A messy Finn stood up from the bed, holding his waist as he dragged his feet toward the bathroom. Niam stirred. He opened his eyes and turned to look at him. "Are you going out?" Finn nodded. "Yes. I promised Professor Ethan we would go shopping tonight." Niam was silent for a few seconds. Finn had told him about his deal with Professor Ethan earlier. He stood up; his eyes showed no sadness as he walked toward Finn and carried him in his arms. "Permit me to wash you then." He whispered into Finn's ears. Finn trembled. He knew this was wrong. He tried to escape, but his strength was nothing before Niam. They entered the bathroom, and with a loud slam, the door was tightly closed. Finn emerged from the bathroom around

  • BOUND TO EIGHT: Love or Die   CHAPTER 55: MEETING NIAM

    Finn stopped in front of the door, unable to go in. After speaking to Lucian, he regained a bit of confidence, but seeing the closed door before him, his anxiousness returned. He had no idea what Niam was planning to say to him, but whatever it was, he wouldn't let Niam go. He would never leave Niam, and Niam wasn't permitted to leave him either. For some reason, some strange ideas popped up in Finn's head, from tying Niam up to locking him in a room and taking him away from this place. But these were thoughts Finn couldn't understand, and he wondered where they came from. It made him confused. Steadying his breathing, he unlocked the door and stepped in. Finn kept his phone in his pocket and held his shirt tightly, trying to wipe the sweat in his hands on it. He saw Niam sitting at the dining table, sipping something from a blue cup, but the moment he sensed Finn's presence, he dropped the cup and rushed forward. Before Finn could say anything, he wrapped his arms around Fi

  • BOUND TO EIGHT: Love or Die   CHAPTER 54: CALLS

    Finn quickly answered the call and placed the phone to his ear. He was scared. His heart wouldn't stop racing, and his face was a little pale. "Niam," He called in a low voice. There was silence at the other end of the phone for a few minutes. Finn checked the phone, wondering if Niam had ended the call. "Finn, where are you?" Niam's deep voice came through. Finn looked around. He was so dazed that he lost his sense of reasoning. "I, I, I'm..." He looked at Ethan, and only then did he calm down a little. "I'm at Professor Ethan's house." Niam was quiet again. "When are you returning home?" "Are you home?" "Mm." Finn's eyes lit up. He held the phone tightly to his ear. "Wait for me. I'll come right away. I'll come back to you." His voice couldn't hide his excitement. The call ended. Finn lowered his eyes to look at Ethan, who was still sitting on the sofa and waiting for him. "Can we go shopping at night instead? Niam said he's back at home." He really couldn't wait. He wan

  • BOUND TO EIGHT: Love or Die   CHAPTER 53: WASHING DISHES

    The next morning, Finn and Ethan sat at the table together, eating quietly. Finn had noticed Ethan's mannerisms whenever he was eating, and he felt like the man didn't like talking during mealtime. Finn, who had spent the night thinking of ways to flirt with Ethan, decided to start his plan right away. He picked some meat from his dish and placed it inside Ethan's plate. Finn remembered that Franklin had always done this. Lucian and Niam always did it, too, and he loved it a lot. He believed Ethan would also like it. Especially when he realized how much Ethan likes meat. Seeing that Ethan had only paused for a few seconds before continuing with his food, Finn felt emboldened. He picked more food that Ethan liked and dropped them in his bowl. Ethan finally stopped. He looked at the full bowl before him, and he suddenly lost his appetite. He wasn't the type to eat much to begin with, and meals had always been like a kind of work to him. If not for surviving, he would have prefe

  • BOUND TO EIGHT: Love or Die   CHAPTER 52: STORIES

    Finn ate the fruit while watching the historical show on the TV. He felt bored. The drama wasn't exactly interesting. After a while, he turned to look at Ethan. "Do you want me to tell you stories?" He used to love it whenever Niam told him stories. Niam was really good at it, and that was one of the reasons he fell in love with him. Ethan looked at him, a slight surprise in his eyes. "You know how to tell stories?" Finn shook his head, and then he nodded. He didn't know any story aside from the ones Niam told him. But for some reason, he didn't want to tell Niam's story to someone else, even if that person was one of his lovers. Niam's stories belonged to him alone. But Finn also wanted to tell Ethan a story... "I can tell stories." He confirmed. It was more to himself than to Ethan, though. Ethan seemed really interested. He faced Finn and gestured with his chin for him to start. Seeing the anticipation in Ethan's eyes, the nervousness in Finn's heart disappeared, and he fe

  • BOUND TO EIGHT: Love or Die   CHAPTER 51: FLIRTING

    Finn didn't seem to see anything wrong in what he said. He nodded. "Yes, you. You are among my lovers." He had already told Ethan the truth about everything, so he didn't see it as anything if he told him more. But Ethan's expression became richer as he looked at Finn's delicate face. "I'm one of your eight lovers?" He seemed to be confirming something. Finn continued nodding. "You're my fourth lover." "So, is that the reason you're staying around me?" "Yes. I need to win your affection." Ethan paused. He stopped walking and looked at Finn instead. "My affection?" He didn't seem to understand. "Your heart. I need to make you love me." Ethan's eyes remained calm. "So, do you like me then?" Finn's smiled softly. "Yes. I like you very much." Ethan's lips slowly curled. "Why?" He seemed to have expected what answer Finn would give.Over the years, he had met many admirers, and many had even asked him out. Especially in his first year as a university student, he was even almost r

    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 d

    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 bothere

    The night was extremely awful for Finn. He couldn't stop his tears no matter what, and nothing Niam said worked for him. He was sad. He didn't mean to tarnish the second target's image that way. He didn't mean to annoy the second target either. But he couldn't help it. He was born with a learning

    Niam's eyes widened. He stared at Finn as if he couldn't hear what Finn was saying to him. But Finn didn't care. This was a good opportunity to raise the favorability of the first target, and he wouldn't waste that. The parents wouldn't be around, and his mother would be busy doing everything e
