Obsession (Chapter 15)

At Annie's Home^^^•••

..

JK looking at her, silently, questions swirling in his mind. He couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling anymore. ~~•

..

JK: “Care? Is it just care, or is there something more?”

Annie: “Why are you asking me this?”

JK: “Because it’s obvious. The way you care about him, it’s... different.”

Annie: “I think we should end this conversation here. You need to rest.”

~~

..

Annie tried to leave, but JK grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

..

~~

JK: “You haven’t answered me yet. What’s going on between you and him?”

Annie: (Frustrated) “Why? are you jealous, JK?”

JK: (Silent, staring at her)..

Annie: “I know you’re jealous. But you know what? That jealousy isn’t for me. It’s for him.”

JK: “What? What are you trying to say?”

Annie: “You think I haven’t noticed? At the club, you took a step forward to stop him when he was with that guy.”

JK: (Shocked) “No… It wasn’t like that.”

Annie: “Then why don’t you think about why you can’t sleep at night? Why you’re always so restless? Have you ever tried finding the answers? No? Then how will you know what’s in your heart?”

JK: (Bewildered) “There’s nothing like that! I’ve told you—nothing’s going on.”

Annie: “Why can’t it be? Do you think I don’t know? I know everything that happened in China.”

JK: “That… that was his plan. I wasn’t in my senses back then!”

Annie: “Fine, you weren’t in your senses, but are you going to deny there’s absolutely nothing in your heart for him?”

JK: “No! There isn’t. It’s impossible. Tae means nothing to me.”

Annie: (Emotional) “That’s a lie, JK. That’s a lie. How long will you keep denying it? Look into your heart and find the truth, JK…”

JK: (Angry) “No! You’re just saying this to avoid your feelings. You know I like you!”

Annie: “No, you don’t.”

JK: (Furious) “Oh, I don’t? Then why were you with me all this time? Tell me, Annie, why?”

Annie: (Frustrated) “I can’t explain right now.”

JK: “Why not? I know the truth—you like Tae, don’t you? Tell me! Do you like him?”

Annie: “You’re not in your senses right now. I think we should stop this conversation here.”

JK: “Why can’t you just answer me? Fine. Whatever the answer is, it doesn’t matter to me. Just remember—stay away from that bastard, or it won’t end well.”

..

JK stormed out in anger, & he left... ~~~

..

..

When JK returned home late, the sound of his car startled his father. Watching from the window, his father frowned. "Where has he been all night?" He recalled the time he had confronted Annie and wondered if JK had been with her again...

..

JK entered his room, restless and confused. He grabbed his medicine but paused, Annie’s words echoing in his mind. "Find the reason behind your nightmares," she had said. Frustrated, he put the pills away and headed to the gym instead.

..

.. ~~~•••

..

---

Meanwhile, Tae sat in his room, lost in thought. Memories of seeing JK and Annie together haunted him. He tried convincing himself to move on but couldn’t escape, then he remember the moments he had shared with Boston.

..

.. ~~••

---

At the Office... ~~~•••

..

The next morning, at the company, everyone is working. Tae focused on his tasks, avoiding distractions.

Meanwhile Annie wanted to talk to tae but hesitated,

while JK in his cabin, sitting on the chair, JK’s anger simmered silently. His mind was a storm of questions he couldn’t answer.

On the other hand, Sunjae thought about Annie. He wanted to win her over but didn’t know how to make her agree.

..

..

Gossiping^^^•••

..

Meenu: “Looks like things aren’t good between Annie and JK. Their moods are terrible.”

Parveen: “What do you expect from that Annie? One moment she upsets Tae, and the next, JK.”

Nandani: “If only JK paid attention to me instead. I’d make him so happy.”

Meenu: “In your dreams!” hahaha

Parveen: “But what’s the real issue between them? We need to find out.”

Meenu: “Hahaha, are you planning to become a detective now?”

Nandani: “She’s already an expert, isn’t she?”

Parveen: “Argh, shut up!”

..

~~••••

..

Later, during a meeting, the Boss discussed an important project with JK and Sunjae.

..

Boss: “We need to meet with someone for this project. They’re currently on an island.”

JK: “An island? How will we arrange the meeting?”

Secretary Syo: “They’ll leave for America soon. We have to meet them before that.”

Boss: “That’s why I’ve arranged a trip for all employees. You’ll go there, have the meeting, and enjoy a trip at the same time.”

Secretary Kim: “Finally! A chance to travel!”

Sunjae: “Alright, Dad. Secretary Kim, book everyone’s tickets. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

..

~~

Meanwhile, Kim and Syo shared a private moment.

..

~~

Kim: (Kissing) “You’re so happy about this trip.”

Syo: “Of course. It’s a chance for us to spend time together.”

Kim: “You mean… our first night?”

Syo: (Blushing) “Stop it!”

Kim: “I can’t wait.” (Kissing him)

..

~~~•••

..

\---

Sunjae stepped out of his cabin and announced to the employees, “This trip is for everyone. Be ready to leave tomorrow,

..

..

Meenu & Nandini: “Wow, we’ll have so much fun!”

Parveen: “Thanks, boss!”

..

Tae and Annie silently listened to the announcement, continuing their work. Sunjae glanced at Annie from a distance before walking away.

..

After some hour's^^^•••

..

Tae walked into JK's cabin, holding a stack of files.

..

Tae: "May I come in, sir?"

JK: "Yes, come in."

..

Without any expression on his face, Tae placed the files on the table and turned to leave. But just as he was about to step out, JK’s stern voice stopped him.

..

JK: "Wait a minute."

Tae: "What?"

..

JK rose from his chair and walked over, stopping directly in front of Tae.

..

JK: "This... whatever is happening, it’s better if you stay out of it."

Tae: "What do you mean? I don’t understand."

..

A sly smirk appeared on JK’s face.

..

JK: "Don’t pretend to be clueless. It’d be in your best interest to stay away from Annie. Understand?"

Tae: "I have no interest in going near anyone."

..

~~

But JK wasn’t convinced. Furious, he grabbed Tae’s face, forcing him to look directly into his eyes.

..

~~

JK: "Don’t play innocent with me. I know your little tricks. You might look naïve on the outside, but inside, you’re just as cunning as a fox. Stay away from Annie, or it won’t end well for you."

..

With that, JK shoved Tae’s face away. Tae stood there for a moment, meeting JK’s gaze with quiet defiance, then walked out without another word.

..

~~~•••

..

\---

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Annie and her friend Kaira were having sandwiches.

..

Kaira: "So, are you excited for tomorrow?"

Annie: "Why?"

Kaira: "The trip! Everyone’s going, and you’ll get to spend time with JK. Lucky you."

Annie: (sighs, looking upset) "Hmm, we’ll see."

Kaira: "What’s wrong? You don’t seem thrilled. Something happened?"

Annie: "Just leave it, Kaira. Let’s talk tomorrow. You finish your food; I have work to do. Bye."

Kaira: "Alright, fine don't tell me if u don't want to share,

Annie: It's nothing like that, I have do work, let's talk another time

Kaira: ok ok fine, Bye."

..

~~~•••

..

\---

Annie stepped into the elevator. As the doors were about to close, Sunjae entered. She glanced at him but said nothing, standing silently in the corner.

..

~~

Sunjae: "So, are you going to ignore me now? Not even a simple hello to your boss?"

Annie: (formally, with a fake smile) "Sorry, Boss. Hello."

..

~~

Sunjae smirked and moved closer to her. Annie instinctively stepped back until her back hit the wall of the elevator. Sunjae leaned in, his gaze locking onto hers.

..

Sunjae: "Do you think I can’t see through that fake smile of yours?"

Annie: "Boss, stop."

Sunjae: (touching her cheek) "And if I don’t?"

..

Annie slapped his hand away and glared at him.

..

Annie: (angrily) "Don’t touch me. Stay in your limits, Boss. It’s better for both of us."

..

Her sharp words ignited Sunjae’s fury. He reached out and pressed the emergency stop button, halting the elevator.

..

Annie: "What are you doing? Why did you stop the elevator?"

Sunjae: (angrily) "You’ll see just how far my limits go."

..

~~••

When Annie tried to press the buttons, Sunjae grabbed her hand, pulling her back. Without warning, he leaned in and kissed her forcefully.

..

Annie: (struggling) "Mmm... Boss?"

Sunjae: (continuing to kiss her)

..

Annie pushed against him, grabbing his shoulders and forcing his face away.

..

Annie: (panting, furious) "Stop it! Why are you doing this?"

Sunjae: (with a devilish smile) "Now you can see my limits clearly."

..

Before she could react, Sunjae cupped her face again and kissed her with even more intensity, leaving her stunned.

..

..

\---

Annie: "Stop it, Boss. I said stop it, Why are you doing this?"

Sunjae: (with a devilish smile) I told you na "Now you can clearly see my limits."

..

Sunjae grabbed Annie’s waist again, pulling her closer as he kissed her passionately. His hands moved to her neck, he starts kissing on her neck..

..

Annie: "Boss... Boss?"

Sunjae: (kissing her neck)

Annie: "Boss? Sunjae\_yaa..."

..

At the sound of her calling his name, Sunjae paused for a moment, his eyes locking onto hers.

..

Annie: (Looking at him) "Boss, let me go!"

Sunjae: "What? Are you in a hurry to go to JK?"

Annie: (angrily) "Yes, I need to go to him. Now let me go!"

..

Hearing this, Sunjae’s anger flared up again, and he kissed her even more fiercely.

..

Annie struggled, trying to break free,

but sunjae wasn't backing down, As he kissed her lips, he pulled her into a tight embrace. slowly, his hands move down to touch her thighs, raising her dress.

..

Just as things escalated. a noise came from outside the elevator, the elevator has topped, and it seemed like there were people talking outside,

..

Outside^^•••

..

Employees: The elevator is stuck, there might be someone inside

..

A moment later, JK came..

..

JK: what's going on? what's happening here?

Employees: The elevators stuck and there might be someone inside.

JK: Who's inside??
