You never meant to become Hyunjin’s “pet.” It just… happened.

It all started when you accidentally spilled water on him during lunch — and he smirked, leaned close, and said, “You’re mine now.”

From that day on, Hyunjin — cold, cruel, and dangerously handsome — made you follow ridiculous rules: bring his lunch, hold his umbrella, sit beside him in class. You hated him.

But your heart didn’t listen.

Then came Felix — bright, sweet, perfect Felix. The student council’s golden boy. He helped you study when Hyunjin distracted you. He noticed when you were sad. And one day, he said quietly, “You don’t have to let him treat you like that. I’ll protect you.”

You felt safe with Felix. But your heart still raced when Hyunjin was near.

One day after class, Hyunjin cornered you.

“You like him, don’t you?” His voice was low. Not angry — hurt. “But you’re still mine.”

“You don’t own me, Hyunjin.”

He pulled you closer, staring into your eyes. “Then why are you still here?”

You couldn’t answer.

And maybe… that was your answer.
