CHAPTER 4: NIAM'S CONFUSION

Niam watched as the little beauty walked out of the music room, and he felt like he'd lost his mind.

The door opened, revealing the blonde-haired student, who had a large grin on his face when he saw Niam.

Niam ran his fingers through his hair and stretched his hand forth.

The blonde-haired student immediately handed him an open bottle of water, which he drank at once.

"That boy, when did he enroll here?" Niam asked in a low voice.

"Two days ago." The blonde-haired student replied.

Niam didn't want to believe what was happening today.

How could someone look so pure and innocent yet shamelessly seductive?

Niam wouldn't believe it if someone told him the beauty wasn't pretending.

He must be trying to get his attention.

But why?

Though Niam believed he was handsome, considering his character, even his parents didn't like him, nor did they want to get too close to him.

His parents would renew the money in his accounts every day while asking the people protecting him in the shadows about his welfare, but they'd never try to act like good parents to him.

So, how could there be someone who would like him and even want to be associated with him?

Niam wasn't a fool.

He knew all the boys following him either liked him for his money or the fact that he was able to keep them protected.

If he lost the two today, all of them might run away from him. Even this blonde-haired student before him, Evans.

So, why would that little beauty approach him? He didn't even shy away when he touched him so roughly...

Niam touched his lips as he reminisced about what had happened back there earlier, and his cheeks reddened.

He'd only been trying to scare off that little beauty. Who knew the beauty would agree and even respond enthusiastically?

He even wanted them to meet again!

"Damn it." Niam groaned.

He hated when something was out of his control.

How could someone make him so confused?

What was more, his heart wouldn't stop racing even though the beauty was already far away.

"Evans, let's go to the field."

Maybe he could feel alright again after exercising a little.

Evans, who had been preparing himself to talk, had to keep quiet again, but his eyes kept flashing around the room.

Seemingly searching for something to satisfy his curiosity.

They left the music room together.

Niam put on his new school shirt as he strode down the long corridor with a frown on his face.

"Evans," He called.

Evans rushed forward. Excitement showed on his face as he looked at Niam with curiosity.

"Boss, do you feel good?"

"That beauty... his skin must feel so good..."

Niam's steps stopped.

Evans trembled.

He took a few steps backward and lowered his head.

His hands clenched at the side.

Niam slowly turned around to look at him. The arrogance in his eyes had turned cold. "Say a word about that boy again, and I will make sure you stay in the hospital for a month." He threatened.

Evans nodded with fear showing in his eyes.

Niam scoffed and turned to resume walking.

After walking for a while, Niam stopped again.

"Let's go back to class."

He felt unsettled.

That little beauty...

Niam felt like he needed to find out what his motive was.

There was no way the little beauty could have fallen for him.

"Investigate that boy."

"I want to know everything about him before tomorrow morning." He gave his order.

Evans nodded. The grin had returned to his face.

Niam brought out his phone and began typing.

Soon after, his eyes darkened.

******************

Finn's eyes shone with excitement when he saw the system's notification.

20%? Didn't that mean he could complete the first mission after getting 80% more?

That didn't seem so hard at all.

Finn clapped his hands, knowing he had everything under wraps.

At this rate, he only needed to get bullied four more times, and the first target would be totally in love with him.

Who said capturing targets was hard?

Finn felt like it was too easy and fun!

He practically skipped all the way back to class.

His legs almost gave in when he realized the teacher was still in class, and only then did Finn remember that he was in class before the target took him away.

"Damn it. Will I get expelled from school for disrespecting the teacher?" He asked timidly as he lowered his head.

[No, the teacher will probably bully you, too]

Finn shivered.

The teacher didn't seem that handsome. Would getting bullied by him be really as fun as earlier?

For some reason, though, he didn't feel excited knowing he might get bullied by the teacher...

"Get inside."

The teacher's cold voice rang as he looked at Finn.

Finn raised a brow and hesitated.

Would the teacher bully him in front of the whole class?

But... he really didn't want to get bullied by the teacher.

"I said, get inside, and let's continue the class."

"Finn, are you okay?"

The teacher dropped his books and approached Finn as he asked.

The expression on his face was that of concern as his eyes wandered, as if searching for any injuries on Finn.

Seeing the teacher's worried expression, Finn relaxed slightly and took a step into the class.

"I'm okay, Teacher."

"I will go to my seat now." He hurriedly said and rushed toward his seat.

'Phew! The teacher didn't bully me.' Finn reported to the system excitedly.

The system ignored him.

The teacher shook his head and sighed lightly.

His eyes showed pity, which momentarily confused Finn before the class continued.

The entire class seemed to pity him, too.

Finn felt like he really couldn't understand people.

Perhaps it was because he had not many memories... no, he had no memory at all, but everything seemed really confusing when it came to understanding people.

Why was everyone looking at him as if he were about to die?

He was doing well in his mission, okay?

So, he wouldn't be dying any time soon.

Right when Finn was thinking, he felt a hot gaze on him, and his heart involuntarily trembled.

He trained his eyes in the direction of the gaze, and his lips parted when he saw the first target again.

Finn immediately stood up.

"Niam, what? Do you need anything?" He asked, blinking innocently as a small smile appeared on his beautiful face.

Could it be that the target wanted to bully him again?

Would he get another 20% so soon?

Finn couldn't hide his excitement.

However... he felt like something was wrong.

The target's expression was too cold, and Finn felt like... he might be in trouble!
