Obsession (Chapter 18)

So Mr. Jeon visits the company and talks to Tae privately...

..

..

Mr. Jeon: So, you came back.

Tae: Did you really think I’d give up? This time, you won’t be able to do anything.

Mr. Jeon: I don’t need to do anything. And I’m sure you’ve already figured out why.

Tae: Yes, I know. And I also know the reason behind it.

Mr. Jeon: Reason? What are you trying to say?

Tae: Exactly what you’ve been doing... giving JK those pills so that—

..

Before Tae could finish, JK enters, Tae immediately stops speaking...!!

..

..

JK: (Cold tone) Dad, what are you doing here?

Mr. Jeon: I just came to check on the company, and I happened to run into one of our employees. Thought I’d introduce myself.

Tae: I’ll take my leave, sir. Excuse me. (Leaves)

..

Mr. Jeon: Meet me at home JK. I need to talk to you.

JK: (Coldly) Whatever you want to say, say it here.

Mr. Jeon: I said, we’ll talk at home.

JK: Fine...

..

..

In the office, everyone is working at their desks. Sunjae enters with a cold vibe.

..

Colleagues: Hello!

Sunjae ignores everyone and heads straight to his cabin.

..

..

Secretary Syo: Babe, what’s up with the boss today?

Secretary Kim: Shhh! The boss has been really irritable lately. I don’t know how we’ll manage his mood. I just hope he doesn’t take it out on me.

Syo: Aww, my love. Don’t worry; I’m here for you. I’ll take care of you. (Ummmah)

Kim: Aww, I needed that. (Kisses)

..

\---

Inside his cabin, Sunjae sits fuming. Through the glass wall, he watches Annie and recalls the morning he saw Tae leaving Annie’s hotel room during the trip. Jealousy clouds his mind.

..

Sunjae: (Angry) So this is what you’re like? You were with JK and now u r with Tae... Fine. It doesn’t matter to me anymore...

..

Meanwhile, Annie notices Sunjae staring at her. As soon as she looks his way, he averts his gaze and pretends to ignore her...!!!

..

~~~•••

..

\---

Annie approaches Tae with some files.

..

Annie: Tae...

Tae: Hmm?

Annie: Take these files to JK. They need his signature.

Tae: Me?

Annie: Yes, you.

Tae: But he’s in a bad mood...

Annie: You’ll have to face it. Now go.

Tae: Fine.

..

~~√•••

..

Tae heads to JK’s cabin, where JK is sitting with his eyes closed, lost in thought.

..

Tae: These files…

JK: (Angrily opens his eyes) You! How dare you show me your face?

Tae: (Hurt) I just came to give you these files.

JK: Fine. Leave them and get out of my sight!

..

Tae feels hurt by JK’s harsh words and turns to leave. Just then, JK grabs his head in pain.

JK: Ahhhh

..

~~

Tae rushes back to JK, worry etched on his face. He holds JK’s face gently with both hands.

..

Tae: (Worried) Are you okay JK? What’s wrong?

..

~~

..

JK opens his eyes to find Tae’s face very close to his. Their eyes lock. Tae, unable to control himself, leans in to kiss JK, but JK pushes him away, causing Tae to fall to the ground...

..

Tae: (Falling) Ouch!

JK: (Angrily) What are you doing? Don’t you dare come near me again!

..

Tae tries to get up but notices his hand is bleeding.

..

Tae: (Looking at his hand) Ah...

JK notices but angrily turns away, ignoring it.

..

JK: (Angrily) You’re still here? Get out!

Tae stands up, anger replacing his sadness.

Tae: (Fuming) That’s enough! Who do you think you are? Just because you refuse to accept our relationship doesn’t mean you can insult me whenever you want!

JK: (Furious) How dare you talk back to me?

Tae: (Defiantly) Why not? You’re not the only one with a voice. I can speak too!

JK: (Threatening) Watch your mouth, or I’ll hand you over to the police for what you did.

Tae: (Smirking) Oh, really? Go ahead. I’m not afraid. I’ve tried to explain my feelings to you with love, but you’ve taken me for granted.

JK: Keep your love to yourself. I don’t need it.

Tae: (Hurt) Do you really mean that? Will you never see my love?

JK: (Coldly) Never. Get that straight.

Tae: (Heartbroken) Fine. I’ve done everything I could for you, but now I’m done. Do whatever you want. One day, you’ll regret this... but I won’t be there.

JK: Whatever, Now get lost...

..

Tae storms out of the cabin, leaving JK seething with anger. JK loosens his tie and gulps down a glass of water to cool off....

Gossiping^^^••••

..

Meenu: There’s so much work to do today.

Nandani: Yeah, ever since that trip, the bosses have been making us work double. Ugh.

Parveen: True. We’re just unlucky.

Nandani: Not everyone is as lucky as Annie, that boss-favorite.

Meenu: Exactly. Annie has it all easy.

Parveen: And now even my cute Tae has started talking to her again. Who knows what happened on that trip that brought them back together.

Nandani: She must have used her black magic again.

Meenu: Seriously?

Parveen: Haha, forget it. She’s always been a silly girl.

Nandani: Ugh, bitches!

..

..

Evening at the Office^^^••••

..

Everyone wraps up their work and prepares to leave for the day. Outside the office:

..

..

Kaira: How are you going home today?

Annie: With Tae.

Kaira: Oh, so you two are talking again, huh?

Annie: (Smiling) Yeah, everything is fine between us now.

Kaira: And what about JK?

Annie: Mmm... it’s over.

Kaira: What? How?

Annie: It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.

..

Just then, Sunjae enters. Annie looks at him, but he ignores her completely. She notices this and feels that he’s deliberately avoiding her.

..

Tae: (Approaching) Ready, Annie?

Annie: Yeah, let’s go.

Kaira: Bye, Annie!

Annie: Bye.

..

~~~•••

\---

Nandani: Oh, the boss is leaving.

Sunjae: (Smiling) Yes, goodbye.

Meenu and Parveen: Goodbye, boss! Drive safely.

..

..

\--

Tae: Hey, Miss? Where’s your mind?

Annie: Did you notice? Sunjae ignored me completely. He didn’t even look at me.

Tae: Really? Maybe he was busy or distracted.

Annie: Hmm, maybe. Anyway, let’s go.

..

In The Night At JK's Home^^^••••

..

JK is getting ready to go to the club when his dad stops him...

..

..

Dad: JK...

JK: (Coldly) What?

Dad: Are you taking your medicine on time?

JK: Medicine? Why?

Dad: (Angrily) Are you taking it or not?

JK: Ugh, Dad, I’m perfectly fine. I don’t need any medicine.

Dad: (Fuming) So, you’re not taking it.

JK: (Frustrated) No, I’m not! Why are you always so concerned about my medicine? Are you hiding something from me?

Dad: (Defensive) What? Why would I hide anything? Who’s been putting these ideas in your head?

JK: Ugh, I’m leaving.

Dad: Wait. Tomorrow, you’re meeting the doctor. I’ve already booked the appointment.

JK: I’m not going. I’m busy.

Dad: You’ll go. No arguments, or else it won’t end well for you.

JK: (Angrily) Fine!

..

~~~•••

..

\---

Tae sits in his room, reflecting on everything JK said to him. Feeling down, he decides to cheer himself up by going to the club. Tae gets ready and heads to JK’s club...

..

~~~••••

..

\---

At the Club^^^•••

..

Tae enters the club and takes a seat on a sofa in the corner. A waiter brings him a drink, and Tae sips it quietly. Meanwhile, JK spots him.

..

JK: You again?

Tae: I’m just here to enjoy my time. So, please don’t disturb me.

JK: (Angrily) What? I’m disturbing you?

Tae: (With attitude) Yes. Now, leave me alone and let me enjoy.

JK: (Fuming) You... You..! how dare you?

Secretary Syo: Boss, please calm down. This will turn into a scene. Let it go, and let’s leave.

..

Secretary Syo pulls JK away, but JK keeps glancing at Tae from a distance,

..

\---•••

..

Tae continues enjoying his drink when Boston approaches him...

..

Boston: Hi, you...

Tae: Oh, hi.

Boston: (Winking) Well, we meet again.

Tae: (Smiling) Yeah, have a seat.

..

Boston sits close to Tae on the sofa, and JK notices this from afar. Seeing them together, JK recalls that Boston was the guy who had taken Tae away a few days ago. Jealousy consumes him, and he takes a step toward them but stops himself.

..

~~

Meanwhile Boston leans closer to Tae and places a hand on his thigh.

..

Boston: Do you remember that night?

Tae: (Shyly) Yes, how could I forget?

Boston: (Seductively) So, what do you think? why don't we relive that night?

..

Boston caresses Tae's thigh and looks into his eye's, then his lips, tae looks back at Boston lips and smile slightly.

Tae: Hmmm.. let me think about it.

..

..

JK watching from afar, burns with jealousy,

..

Boston leans in to kiss tae, their lips meet, they start kissing each other..

..

~~

As JK saw this, jk loses control and stroms over, he came and grabbing tae's hand forcefully...

Tae: (Shocked) Yaa..

Boston: (Angrily) what are u doing?

Tae: JK? leave my hand.

JK: (Jealous) And what if I don't?

Tae: (Angrily) you can't do this, let go of me.

Boston: let him go man..

JK: (Glaring) Stay out of this, And you Tae. you're coming with me.

Tae: I'm not going anywhere with you

JK: Oh, yes you are..

..

..

JK drags Tae away forcefully leaving, Boston stunned and tae fuming...

..

..

Tae: What are you doing JK? Let go of my hand! Where are you taking me?

..

JK, furious, drags Tae by the hand into his private room in the club. This room is exclusively JK’s, and with barely controlled rage, he shoves Tae onto the bed.

..

Tae: (falling onto the bed) What are you doing? Are you crazy?

JK: (angrily) You Made me Crazy..
