Chapter 81

Since Juna became a lecturer at the campus where he teaches, the attention of female students who are usually always focused on Arka is now starting to decrease. Some of the female students prefer to approach Juna because Juna's response can be said to be more welcoming than Arka.

At first Arka didn't really care about it, the man was even happy because he was no longer bothered by the students, but increasingly he also felt annoyed at how Juna was praised by many people.

Take this example. Arka had just finished teaching, usually the students immediately approached him before he left the classroom, but not this time. Seeing Juna just walk past their class, the students who saw him through the window immediately rushed out of the class to catch up with him. 

"Where are you going?! Stop!" Arka shouted right before the students managed to get out of the class.

"Why sir, the study hour is over, right? We want to go to Mr. Juna."

Hearing Juna's name mentioned, Arka's blood instantly boiled. With a sharp gaze, the man looked at the students who were still standing at the door. Shaking his waist, he said, "Who let you out? Go back to your seats!"

"But sir? Isn't the study hour over?"

"Says who? Let's continue the lesson. I still have something to cover."

"But..."

"Sit down or you won't get a good grade from me!"

Hearing that threat come out of Arka's lips made the students inevitably return to their seats. Not a few of them began to grumble annoyed with Arka's attitude.

"What the hell, Mr. Arka? Why can't we go outside? Isn't the study hour over?" Whispered one of the students with her friend.

"Yes. Mr. Arka has been really weird lately."

Even though he could hear all of his students' grumbling, Arka didn't care. All that mattered was that he managed to dissuade them from following Juna.

Jealous? You could say it like that. Arka was jealous that the students who used to admire him were now admiring Juna. The jealousy was more about Arka not wanting Juna to be superior to her.

"Sir, so what else would you like to discuss?"

Arka was silent for a while before saying, "Nothing. Study hours are over, you can go outside." Right after saying this the man walked out of the classroom. 

Outside, Arka looked around for Juna's whereabouts, but when she didn't find her, she smiled. 

"I swear Mr. Arka is so weird! He asked us to go back to our seats but now he's just leaving!"

"Yes, you're right. Is he jealous that we want to catch up with Juna?"

"Huh? Could be. But anyway, it's Mr. Arka's fault for being so indifferent to us. It's better that Mr. Juna is the one with the smile."

"Agreed! Let's go find Mr. Juna already."

Juna walked casually through the corridors of the campus. Not a few female students and lecturers who passed him greeted him. As usual, he would return their greetings with his sweet smile. That's what made them like Juna so much. Those who were initially rooting for Arka slowly shifted to Juna.

"Mr. Juna!"

Hearing his name being called, Juna immediately stopped his steps. He turned around, seeing Naya walking towards him.

"Sir? You called me sir? Are you serious? Am I your father?" Juna asked right after Naya had stopped in front of him.

Naya laughed. To be honest, the woman was also a little amused to call Juna sir.

"Then what should I call you, Juna? Seriously, you're a lecturer here and I have to be polite to lecturers."

"Whatever you want. What is it?"

"This."

Squinting her eyes, Juna looked at the envelopes and chocolates that Naya had just given her. 

With a confused look he asked, "What's this?"

"You can see, it's an envelope containing a letter and these are chocolates."

"Yes, I know that too. What do you mean you gave me this for? If Arka finds out, I'll get beaten up."

A long breath came out of Naya's mouth. She forced Juna's hand away and handed him the envelope and chocolate. "This is not from me, but from my classmates. They left this with me to give to you."

"What did they give me this for?"

"Oh My Gosh Juna! You still haven't realized? You are the ideal lecturer here right now. Many people like you, that's why they gave you this."

"But I don't want it. You just give all this back to them. What if Yuna finds out?"

Juna forcefully returned the envelope and chocolate to Naya before she left. Knowing that, Naya stomped her foot in annoyance.

To be honest, she didn't want to be entrusted by her friends but her friends insisted so she had to.

"Isn't that Naya? Mr. Arka's wife? She just got a letter and chocolates from Mr. Juna?"

"Yes, I saw it too. This isn't right, we have to tell Mr. Arka."

"Yes, you're right! Why is Naya like that anyway. Already having a husband as handsome as Mr. Arka, she is still approaching Mr. Juna."

Unintentionally, some students saw from a distance when Juna returned the letter and chocolate to Naya. They thought the letter and chocolate were Juna's gift to Naya. They plan to tell Arka about this.
