AEONIAN

chapter 15

"What?", I questioned, not believing my ears.

"Do I need to repeat myself?", he asked. "I asked if—"

"I'll be going", I blurted and shook his hand off me, running towards the cart and opening the door and left his office. "What the..."

I pushed the the button of the elevator and brought the cart in and closed the elevator door. I kept thinking about the scene that happened earlier. I bit my lip, as it was one of my happens whenever I was scared or troubled.

"Oh hey, you're the girl back then"

I looked in front and saw the two boys who were in Sir Lee's office before.

"Hi", I simply said.

"Right, I didn't get your name back then", Jaemin said. "What's your name?"

"Kim Hyerin", I answered. I hesitated at first but decided to tell them. "Sir Lee is drunk, he's been saying some weird things"

"Drunk? Weird things?", the other who was named Renjun questioned. "What kind of things?"

"Some things", I replied and immediately went out of the elevator with the cart. I speeded off to the janitor's room and placed the cart back. I left the room and rushed outside.

"Can I kiss you... on the lips?"

"What the hell is wrong with him", I muttered and looked up to the empty dark sky. All that shined was the moon. "Piece of shit"

"Who got you in a bad moon, Byeol?", Haechan said lowly.

"Sir Lee", I answered and started to walk towards my place which was far away.

"Jeno? What did he do?", he asked seriously. "What did that jerk say?"

"He asked a question", I replied, looking down because of the embarrassment.

"What kind of question?", he asked, looking right at me which pressured me.

"He asked if...", I trailed and took a deep breath and sighing. "If he could kiss me"

Haechan was silent for a while. He didn't have any reaction, or that's what I thought.

"Did he grab your hand or wrist?", he asked.

I nodded.

"Then you should've punched him right in the face", he replied nonchalantly. "That punch—"

"I would get fired if I did that", I sighed, still can't stop thinking about what happened. I was about to speak up but Haechan took me by the wrist and started pulling me somewhere else. "Where are you taking me?"

"It's never too bad to have a detour, especially when you're sad", he said. "There's this place I know..."

He brought me somewhere pretty far but I couldn't complain. As we were walking, I could see something in the distance. We soon arrived to a place where there were fountains that were formed in the ground.
