CHAPTER 15

AUN POV

THREE DAYS LATER

"So... are you coming with me to attend class or going with JungYun sunbae?" As we placed our plates in the sink, Lily turned to me while I shook my head and replied, "No, I'll attend our class." With a simple nod from Lily, we made our way to our afternoon classes.

I understood why Lily had asked me that question. She was often left alone while I spent the past three days with JungYun. He had been demanding my presence more than usual, asking me to be with him for the entire day or simply holding me until evening.

I couldn't help but notice that he had become touchier with me. Whenever he taught me something, he would position himself too close, disregarding my personal space. His hand would sometimes find its way to my waist, my shoulders, and even my thighs, causing me discomfort each time.

Despite not liking his attitude and behavior, I couldn't help but admire JungYun for his academic prowess. He was a genius when it came to his studies and programming skills, capable of accomplishing anything. Sometimes, I even questioned why he needed an assistant in the first place.

However, when it came to me being his assistant, he never once asked me to help him with anything. He would either call me to teach me lessons or simply command me to stay by his side. He never mentioned anything about assisting him with his work.

"Aun," Lily called my name, pulling me out of my thoughts and grabbing my attention. "Are you free this evening?"

Unsure of whether JungYun would want me or not, I replied, "I'm not sure if JungYun needs me, but why? Do you need something?"

Lily smiled and replied, "I was actually thinking of going shopping with you, but if you're busy, I understand."

It was incredibly sweet of Lily to ask me to accompany her for shopping, and I really wanted to go with her. However, I needed to check with JungYun first.

"I would love to go shopping with you, Lily... I'll let JungYun know if he wants me with him," I said, giving her a smile before turning my attention back to the class as the professor began their lecture.

EVENING

Our classes for the day came to an end, I hadn't received any messages or calls from JungYun, which was a relief. However, a small part of me couldn't shake the feeling that I would see him before heading to my room.

"Aun, are you absolutely sure you're free today? I don't want you to ditch sunbae," Lily reminded me, well aware of how angry he could get if I disobeyed him. JungYun had already warned me about going against his words.

Taking a moment to recall if JungYun had mentioned needing me this evening, I found no recollection of such a request. With a shrug, I dismissed the thought and decided to spend time with Lily. "I'm free today, Lily. Let's go shopping."

We exchanged smiles and began chatting as we strolled down the hallway. The empty hallway indicated that most students had already left, leaving us to walk along the deserted path.

We approached the senior's block, my steps began to slow when I spotted Jae-Min sunbae heading towards us. Seeing him wave his hand, I reciprocated with a smile on my face. However, my smile quickly faded when I noticed someone trailing behind Jae-Min. My hand dropped mid-air as I waited for Jae-Min sunbae to come closer.

"Hey, Aun," he greeted me with a smile, but my heart sank when I saw JungYun glancing at me. I remembered his warning not to talk to other guys.

"Aun?" Jae-Min waved his hand in front of my face, his gaze shifting from me to Lily, completely unaware of the male presence causing me distress. "Y-yes," I replied, my voice quiet and submissive.
