Bloodbath (Reader x Crypto)

Chapter Eight: Apologize

"I do not want to speak to him. Now, please stop bothering me. I thought you wanted to hang out because we're friends..." Wattson frowns as she looks down at the table, drawing invisible shapes with her finger on the surface. I'm assuming she's nervous about something... or really annoyed. "Did he tell you to do this?" Her voice is barely audible.

I lean back in the booth and sigh deeply. "No, but you're both my friends. I just want you all to be happy." I lie and give the blonde girl a reassuring smile when she looks back to me. "What did he do, though?" Again, I really don't care, but I might as well get some information on him.

Wattson drags her hands off the table and rests them on her lap. "He's a liar and a traitor." She spits as she stares at the table.

Thanks. That's so much to go off of. I now understand why she's so pissed off.

I roll my eyes before Wattson looks back to me, sadness replacing the anger on her face. "I don't want to talk about it." She sighs softly before getting out of the booth. "I'm going to go. I'm tired and... well, the Paradise Lounge isn't exactly my scene."

"I understand." I nod and she waves before leaving.

Well, how do I get him to trust me now? I can't get his stupid little crush to talk to him, so there's no way of getting him to owe me something. He also didn't let me fuck him last night, so I can't use that against him. I can't bully him anymore, because he's now immune to my bullshit, apparently.

"Fuck..." I say under my breath as I drum my fingers against the table. This mission just gets harder each day. I'm tempted to just throw in the towel and say Hyeon just coincidentally seems like Tae Joon, but they're not the same person.

But my pride won't let me. I've never failed a mission, and I don't plan on making this my first.

I'll just have to step up my game.

I'll wait until night time when everyone is asleep before I make my move. He'll obviously not be sleeping. The guy probably sleeps like fifty hours a year.

How is he so damn hot when he's basically a caffeine powered zombie –

I'm getting distracted.

I'll go in and catch him off guard while he does who knows what on his computer. If he screams, everyone will wake up and he'll be the center of attention. I know he doesn't want that.

I'm torn between threatening him and seducing him. Perhaps I'll mention his eye candy. Not sure what to tell him about her, though. She was about as useful as a book on how to read.

This is driving me crazy. He's so damn hard to read. And it's even harder to get him talking.

Forcing him to go off normal human emotion seems to be the way to go. If I am his first time, naturally he'd be vulnerable and sensitive around me. He'll develop some sort of bond with me without even knowing it.

But fuck, his willpower is on godly levels. He can't be influenced... except by Natalie. Why does she have to be a typical female who holds grudges.

"You know what, fuck it. She'll talk to him even if I have to drag her to his room, kicking and screaming like a misbehaving toddler in a store." I say to myself as I get up and march out of the Paradise Lounge.

When I reach the dorms I manage to catch Wattson before she enters her room. She probably had a chat with Renee, seeing as she's in the common room with some of the other Legends. And Renee is basically her guard dog, ready to rip apart anyone who so much as makes Natalie tear up even a little bit.
