Chapter 52 - The Romanian Girl (1)

After everyone in the cat daycare submitted to his new reign, Alpheus jumped to the floor to meet with Queen Meowpatra again.

The cat queen bowed her head, "I submit to you, Prince Alpheus."

"Good, don't worry about your throne. This cat kingdom will be my vassal kingdom, and you shouldn't worry about getting dethroned. I also have no intention of accepting any offer. I just want you and all of your subjects to submit and follow me to war if there is an upcoming war."

"Join me to the war, devote yourself to me, and die for me. You will bathe with the blood of glory!" Alpheus delivered a speech to sing his glory, and the cats and dogs in the daycare finally obeyed him. They prostrated in front of their new king, Prince Alphie from the Kingdom of Super Awesome Prince Alphie, thus ended the war. 

"Meowpatra, I will return to my kingdom. This war is really messy, indeed. But as much as I know, the cats usually don't give a damn about making a mess, right?"

"Yes, Prince Alpheus, we don't really give a damn if we made a mess. We'll just ignore the scolding. The humans will always bow down to the cats anyway," Meowpatra said.

"That's relieving, then I shall return to my kingdom. I will close the tunnel to avoid suspicion. Just send an envoy to meow near the tunnel if you need any help," Alpheus said.

Thus, the dogs returned with glory. They were mostly unharmed, although they got a few ignorable scratches. 

After the last dog exited the tunnel, Alpheus said, "Husky, try to find a lever or something to close the tunnel."

"Yes, my Prince!"

Boss Husky and the other dogs tried to find the lever around their daycare, and when they found it, Boss Husky pulled down the lever, and the tunnel slowly closed. 

The moment the tunnel was fully shut, there was a voice from the office, "Okay, who wants a snack from Eunjung Noona!" 

The dogs returned to the playground and barked excitedly for the snacks from Grand Overseer Eunjung Noona. 

Cha Eunjung gave a dog treat for a snack before lunch one by one for all dogs, and when she reached Alpheus, she hugged the cute Pomeranian and asked, "Alphie, you're doing well, right? Did any of the dogs bully you? You're not distressed in here, right?"

"Arf! Arf!" Alpheus barked excitedly and ate the dog treat given to him. 

"Hehe, you seem very happy, that's really great!" Eunjung giggled. "If you're happy, Junshik Oppa would give me pocket money later, hihi~."

Cha Eunjung finished giving treats to the dogs, then she went to the other side to check on the cats. 

Alpheus enjoyed his dog treated when he heard Eunjung Noona screaming, "AAAHHH! WHAT HAPPENED?!"

**

'I wonder what that dog is doing right now,' Cha Junshik thought. He was currently sitting in the class, waiting for hundreds of new undergraduate students to write a note on the PowerPoint presentation for the next paper assignment. 

Of course, he made a reasonable assignment that wouldn't be too hard for the new students, just enough to train their thoughts about this course. 

'Since he got his own domain now in the daycare, I wonder if that dog would do something, maybe expanding his kingdom?' Junshik thought. 'He always said that he loves conquering and stalking his prey.'

'I just hope that he won't be making any mess that would ruin Cha Eunjung's day. She works hard enough, taking care of the dogs and the cat daycare.'

Amid his floating thought of the werepom, a student called him, "Mr. Cha, we're done writing down the assignment note."

"Ah—Okay, if all of you are done writing the note, then you can leave the class. Don't forget to submit the assignment to my email. Your deadline would be Saturday night because I will check it in the Sunday morning."

"Thank you, Mr. Cha."

Cha Junshik hummed for each student who walked past him. He was currently teaching at least 100 students since this was a class in the lecture hall. 

And then, after almost everyone left the room, there were 20 female students surrounding him right now, "Mr. Cha, can we get your number?"

"Yes, Mr. Cha. It will be… um… great for our study! We need more private lectures from you!" 

"Yes, please give us your number, Mr. Cha!" 

…

Cha Junshik wasn't surprised by the flock of new female students who flocked to him. It happened almost every year when he had to substitute the professor for the undergraduate freshmen study, which happened almost every year, much to Junshik's annoyance.

Cha Junshik didn't like giving his phone number to random people because the phone number was very private.

"I already talked with the freshmen representation and told him to make a group for Professor Kim's course. You should ask him to put all of you inside the Kakao group. You can discuss anything there with me and the rest of the students in your batch," Junshik replied professionally, not wanting to get entangled with the undergraduates. 

"Including private discussion, Mr. Cha?" One girl insisted on sliding into Cha Junshik's direct message, so Junshik nodded lightly.

"You can contact me in that group, private chat in Kakaotalk is also allowed. Though, I'm not sure if you need any private discussion because I will put all the book references in the group note later on," Cha Junshik said, trying his best to close any possibility of any of the female students trying their luck.

Cha Junshik was a professional at work. He genuinely loved teaching. He didn't want to risk his career just because a random young woman in his class wanted to date him. 

But sometimes, even the hardest 'NO' from Junshik became a challenge for these women to conquer Cha Junshik. 

He sighed after all the students finally left, including the female students who surrounded him just now.

He packed his books and laptop into his messenger bag, ready to leave.

But his step halted when a woman suddenly called his name from behind, "Mr.. Cha, I have a question."
