HAUGHTY-To Love ✔

CHAPTER 25

AUN POV

I took a sharp breath, feeling my lungs starved for oxygen. Despite the lack of air, I desperately clung to JungYun's shoulder, pulling him closer. In an instant, the space between us vanished as he forcefully pulled my body against his.

Our lips moved in a frenzy, savoring each other's taste without interruption. JungYun pressed my head against the wall, his tongue exploring the depths of my eager mouth.

The sound of our lips smacking and sucking filled the air, oblivious to our surroundings. My mind was consumed by the pleasure of his lips and the sensation of his hands roaming my body.

Exhausted from the intense kiss, I was the first to break away, gasping for air and trying to catch my breath. My chest rose and fell rapidly, mirroring JungYun's own heavy breathing. His lustful eyes locked onto mine, and I silently thanked our lucky stars that we were only outside the hostel entrance. Things could have taken a dangerous turn if we were in a private room.

"How long are you going to keep me here?" I asked, feeling a sense of frustration build up within me. We had been making out three times in a row, and I was growing restless. But instead of answering, JungYun connected his lips with mine once again. This time, however, I made up my mind not to engage in the kiss and immediately pulled away before he could deepen it.

"Stop it, JungYun. I have to go inside," I reasoned, hoping he would understand. I waited for his next move, unsure of how he would react.

To my surprise, he pushed me hard against the wall, gripping my shoulders tightly so that I had no choice but to look into his intense, dark eyes. "What did I tell you about denying or disobeying me?" he asked, his eyes growing even darker with rising anger. 

"You denied me by refusing to stay in the condominium, and now you're adding yet another denial to the list?" His grip on my shoulder tightened as he brought his face closer to mine.

"Remember, Aun, in our relationship, I will be the one to decide what we do. I may give you some leeway at times, but that doesn't mean you can overpower me whenever you want. Do you understand that?" His rough voice resonated in my ears, causing me to flinch slightly.

With his jaw clenched tightly, he gave me one last piercing look before pulling me away from the wall. "Get inside and meet me in the AI lab tomorrow during lunch," he said, patting my cheeks gently. He waited for me to move inside before disappearing from sight.

I stood frozen, feeling a wave of confusion wash over me as I tried to decipher what JungYun's words meant. Did he see me as his girlfriend or just a casual fling? The uncertainty left me hesitant to ask him, especially considering his unpredictable mood swings.

With a jumble of thoughts swirling in my mind, I reluctantly moved away from him and began making my way towards the entrance of the hostel. However, before I could step inside, a small part of me compelled me to turn back and face him. I wanted to say something, anything before we parted ways.

"Drive back safely," I mouthed the words, hoping they would reach him. Without giving him a chance to respond, I swiftly turned and ran through the gates, deliberately avoiding any further glance in his direction.

AUTHOR POV

Jae-Min let out an exasperated sigh, gazing at the shameless girl in front of him. "What part of 'I don't like you' is not understandable for you?" he huffed, frustration evident in his voice. Despite his clear rejection, the girl continued to smile, seemingly unfazed.

"You look so hot when you're angry," the words slipped out of her. With a deep breath, his fist involuntarily slammed against the locker in frustration. Charmi winked in response, further fueling his annoyance.
