The next morning, I woke up feeling a mix of anxiety and determination. Jiyeon and I had shared a beautiful night together, but the lingering presence of Professor Delacroix haunted my thoughts. As I watched Jiyeon prepare for her classes, I couldn't shake the feeling of dread. I decided to stay on campus for the day, wanting to keep an eye on things. Jiyeon was thrilled to have me around, though I could sense she was slightly worried about how it might affect her focus.
"Are you sure you'll be okay today?" Jiyeon asked, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I'll be fine," I assured her, smiling. "I just want to see where you spend your days."
"Alright," she said, giving me a quick kiss. "I have a class with Professor Delacroix first. You can come with me and sit in if you'd like."
"Of course," I replied, trying to sound enthusiastic despite the churning in my stomach.
