Obsession (Chapter 3)

Annie: Maybe someone else, like you.

Tae: (Looking at her) Who?

...

She holds his hand while looking at him.

Annie: Tae, I can't see you like this. I can do anything to make you happy.

Tae: What do you mean?

...

She touches his cheek, gazing into his eyes, then at his lips, and kisses him.

..

When her lips touch his, Tae immediately pushes her away.

Tae: (Shocked) What are you doing?

Annie: (Tears in her eyes) Tae... I like you.

Tae: (Silent)

Annie: I really like you, Tae.

Tae: (Standing) I think you should go home, Annie. I'll pretend I never heard this.

Annie: (Crying) But Tae...

Tae: (Loudly) Go home!

..

She leaves the house, upset and full of regret.

Next Morning^^^^^^^^^

..

JK wakes up and sees a random girl sleeping beside him.

..

JK: Hi, you’re awake. Who are you?

Girl: Oh, you forgot so easily. You brought me here yesterday, and we spent the night together, you know?

JK: Oh... um, I was drunk yesterday. You can leave now.

Girl: Leave? At least offer me breakfast.

JK: No need. Leave now.

Girl: Ugh, you’re so rude! Fine, I’m going.

..

After a while, JK, shirtless, does his workout, takes a shower, and gets ready. While dressing, he notices a shirt and remembers how Tae fell on him.

..

JK: Stupid fan.

..

He comes downstairs and sees his dad having breakfast.

..

Maid: Come sit, have breakfast.

JK: (Starts eating)

Dad: Who was that girl?

JK: Dad, it’s none of your business.

Dad: (Angry) When I was your age, I wasn't like this. You should focus on business instead of fooling around.

JK: (Angry) Dad, you’re crossing the line.

Dad: Today, you will go to the company.

JK: I’m going to the club.

Dad: No excuses. Just go there.

JK: I’ll go when I have time. You don’t need to tell me what to do.

Dad: How dare you talk to me like this? If your mother were here—

JK: (Furious) Don’t take her name! She’s not here because of you!

..

JK stands up and leaves without finishing his food.

..

Secretary Syo: Boss, the car is ready. Are we going to the company?

JK: (Glaring) The club.

Syo: But boss, we should go to the company. It’s important. It’ll also benefit your club.

JK: Ughhhh! (Frustrated)

..

Other Side^^^^^^^^

...

Mom: Tae, come eat breakfast.

Tae: Yes, Mom, I’m coming.

Tae: (Eating breakfast)

Dad: Where’s Annie today?

Mom: Yes, I made her favorite breakfast.

Tae: Oh, she already left for work.

..

Tae remembers the previous day as he leaves for work. He glances at Annie’s house on the way.

.. ~~~

At the Company^^^^^

..

Tae starts working. Annie enters and notices he’s already there. She tries to greet him, but he ignores her. She sits at her desk, glancing at him with sad eyes.

..

Annie: (Approaches him) Tae, print these papers.

Tae takes them but continues to ignore her.

..

Gossiping Among Colleagues^^^^^

..

Nandani: Girls, look! Something’s definitely happening between them.

Meenu: Why? What happened?

Parveen: I can see they’re not talking. But why?

Meenu: Nandani, go ask her.

Parveen: Oh, shut up, silly girl. You think she’ll tell us?

Meenu: Look at Tae’s face! He looks so upset. Aww!

Parveen: Surely that Annie did something. Poor Tae!

Nandani: My Tae is the cutest! Look at him!

Parveen: You bitch! (Fighting)

Nandani: No, you’re the big bitch! (Fighting)

Meenu: Ugh! Girls, stop it already.

..

~~

Boss Enters the Office^^^^^

Boss: Everyone, I’d like to introduce our new partner, Mr. Jeon Jungkook.

..

Everyone claps as JK enters with his secretary, Syo, exuding a cold vibe.

..

Boss: Welcome, Mr. JK. I hope we work together for great success.

JK: (Fake smile) Yeah, sure.

..

Gossiping^^^^

Meenu: Oh my God, is he JK, the club owner?

Nandani: Yes, he is. tae even have a wallpaper of him on his laptop..

Parveen: Oh, do you know? He’s a big red flag, always playing with girls and all.

Meenu: Forget that, just look at him! How handsome he is. Omo!

Nandani: His secretary Syo is also handsome.

Meenu: Omo, so many handsome guys here. How can we survive? Hehe.

Parveen: I’ll definitely get one of them.

Nandani: (Slaps her on the head) In your dreams!

Parveen: (Grabbing her hair) What did you say? What did you say, bitch?

..

~~

Boss: Secretary Kim, take Mr. JK to his cabin.

Secretary Kim: Yes, boss. Come, Mr. JK.

..

JK follows him while noticing that Tae is here.

..

Tae looks at him, and he gets happy. On the other side, Annie looks at Tae while upset.

..

Secretary Kim: This is your cabin.

.. ~~~

JK silently walks into the cabin, and Secretary Syo looks at Secretary Kim with flirtatious eyes. Secretary Kim notices.

~~``

Kim: Hehe, okay, anything you need, just let me know.

Syo: Yes, I’ll definitely tell you. (Flirting with eyes)

Kim: (Awkward) Hehe, okay, bye, Mr. JK.

\~~~~

After a Few Hours^^↑

..

Secretary Kim: Tae and Annie, give these files to Mr. JK.

Tae: (Happy) Oh, okay, okay.

..

They both go to JK's cabin, and JK looks at Annie.

..

Annie: Sir, these files.

JK: Give them to me.

..

Tae looks at him with loving eyes, smiling like crazy.

.. ~~~

JK: Are you not going?

Tae: Ohh… if you need anything, please let me know.

JK: For that, I have Secretary Syo. You don’t need to.

Tae: I know, but still, if I can do anything to help, I’ll be happy.

JK: I said I don’t need anything. Just get lost, stupid fan.

Annie: Oh, sorry, sir. I’ll take him out. Let’s go, Tae, let’s go.

..

Outside^^^^^^

..

Tae: Let go of my hand. Why did you take me outside?

Annie: Are you out of your mind? Didn’t you see how he’s behaving?

Tae: It’s none of your business. Don’t come between me and JK. (Leaves)

.. ~~~

Annie looks upset. Kaira looks at Annie and consoles her.

..

Kaira: What happened? Did you guys fight?

Annie: Yes, I confessed yesterday, and that’s why he’s upset with me. Ufff.

Kaira: Just give him some time. I hope he’ll be okay.

Annie: I don’t have time to give him. You know how much I love him, and now JK is here. I don’t know what I should do. Ufff! (Frustrated)

.... ~~~

After a Few Hours in JK’s Cabin:

..

Tae: Hmm, this coffee is for you.

JK: Did I ask you to bring it?

Tae: No, but I thought you would like it.

...

JK gets frustrated. He stands, comes closer to JK, and grabs his hand.

..

JK: What do you want? Why don’t you leave me alone?

Tae: (Awkward smile) Hmm, because… because I like you.

JK: What?

Tae: I mean, I’m your fan, so I like you.

JK: (Grabbing his chin forcefully) A fan, really? I have so many fans like you, but I don’t give a damn. Do you think you’re worth it? Hah, you’re just a stupid fan. Now get lost.

..

He leaves, tears in Tae’s eyes. He gets upset and goes to the terrace.

..

As Tae is walking, Annie follows him.

..

She calls his name, but Tae doesn’t listen and keeps walking. She grabs his hand aggressively and makes him turn back.

.. ~~~

Annie: Are you ignoring me?

Tae: I don’t want to talk right now.

Annie: Why? Just because I confessed to you?

Tae: Ugh, forget that.

Annie: I can’t forget, Tae. I can’t forget.

Tae: But you know I love someone else.

Annie: But he doesn’t love you. Give me a chance, Tae. (Kisses him forcefully)

Tae: Mmmm, stop it! (Pushes her)

..

She falls on the floor, crying. Tae looks at her and feels guilty because she fell.

..

Tae: Sorry, are you okay?

Annie: (Stands up) No, I’m not okay. My heart is hurting. (Crying)

Tae: Annie, please try to understand. Don’t ruin our friendship.

Annie: But I’ve genuinely loved you since childhood.

Tae: I’ve never seen you that way.

Annie: You’re waiting for someone who doesn’t like you, but you can’t give me a chance. Why? Why???

Tae: You know everything, Annie. I can’t love anyone except him.

..

Annie: (Angry) Fine. Go and try to make him love you back. Do everything you can to get him, but remember this: if you fail, I’ll do anything, and you won’t be able to stop me.

She leaves, and Tae just stands there, frustrated.

..

As Annie walks away, suddenly JK appears and looks at her closely.

..

JK: What is your name, Miss Beautiful?
