Obsession

Chapter 4

Part 1

Chorus.

As the curtains opened, Heeyoung walked out cautiously.

“Oh my, You are so beautiful.”

She is more concerned about the gaze of the man staring straight at her than the voices of the employees making a fuss next to her. The man looks at his cell phone for a while and then raises his head at the noise of the employees.

“How about this?”

“It’s pretty.”

Hee-young was momentarily disappointed by the simple words coming out of the man’s mouth.

“Isn’t it strange?”

“Not at all. It suits you well.”

“Then shall we choose this?”

“If you like it, then do it. You don’t want to try anything else?”

“I like this too.”

“Okay. Just a sec. Let me answer the phone.”

As soon as the phone rang, indicating that it was an important call, the man quickly grabbed his phone and went outside. He was then seen loitering in the hallway, talking on the phone.

“Are you sure you don’t have to try on any other dresses?”

“No. I’Il choose this one”

“Okay, I’ll help you change back in.”

“Yes…….”

The curtain closed again and Hee-young began to take off her dress with the help of the staff.

‘Because he is busy… … .’

Yes. She knows better than anyone else that the man is busy. She is the one who decided to get married even though she knew that he was close to being a workaholic.

“Have you changed your clothes already?”

Hee-young, who had just taken off her dress and has come out of the changing room, runs into a man who had just finished talking on the phone and entered the shop.

“There are still many places to go. I have to see the gifts too… … .”

“I’m sorry.”

As soon as those words came out of the man’s mouth, Hee-young guessed what would happen next.

“I have to go in now.”

“Are you very busy?”

“The client wants to meet me right now. You know? He’s our office’s VIP client.”

“Then I guess I should go in and take a look.”

“I’m sorry. The ring… I will go with you next time to choose one.”

“I’m fine.”

“Take a taxi and go. I’ll call you back.”

“Yes.”

As the man left the shop, Hee-young slowly grabbed her handbag and came out. The sky was gloomy, as if it would rain at any moment. It was a common sky before the rainy season in June.

‘I need to catch a taxi.’

Hee-young, who had gone near the road, raised her hand to catch a passing taxi, but it was not easy to catch a taxi. At that moment, raindrops fell on the back of her hand.

‘Ha…….’

The sky grew dark and it began to rain. As the rain poured down, people from all over ran out onto the street to catch a taxi. When it became even harder to catch a taxi, which was already difficult to catch, Hee-young made a [tabble] sign with her finger. In this situation, you have to give a [tabble] to catch a taxi.

“It’s Hyungshin-dong.”

Hee-young, who barely managed to catch a taxi, shook the rainwater off her wet shoulders. Raindrops were streaking the windshield of the moving car.

The taxi drove for about 20 minutes and dropped off at the small one-room apartment where Hee-young lives. Hee-young’s small one-room apartment is on the 12th floor of this apartment. Although it is rented, it is completely her own space. Hee-young went inside the house, threw her handbag on the sofa, and took off her clothes. Her clothes got wet between getting out of the taxi and entering the apartment.

After changing into comfortable indoor clothes and placing a towel on her wet hair, Hee-young took a can of beer out of the fridge and sat down on the sofa. On the sofa table were scattered gift catalogs and wedding hall catalogs.

The wedding is on July 20th, a month later.

The wedding hall is fixed now, and the dress was fixed today. However, there were still many things left to do. The honeymoon destination has not been decided yet, and the wedding gifts were originally scheduled to be looked at today, but that didn’t happen. We were planning to look at the furniture for our new home since last week, but it seems like it will be postponed to next week. Hee-young knows that she can’t help it because he’s such a busy man.

‘So I am finally getting married… … .’

Heeyoung took a sip of beer.

‘Marriage…….’

People ask why she is rushing to get married so quickly, but Hee-young wants to get married quickly. It is because she feels like marriage is the completion of her life.

Han Ji-ae. That’s Hee-young’s name now.

I went to college under the name of Han Ji-ae and graduated without a hitch. No one doubted me. No one thought I was Yoon Hee-young, and not Han Ji-ae. I was anxious at first, but after a few months, I was no longer anxious. After that, everything became easy.

While attending college, I made friends and lived like everyone else. I traveled, bought clothes, and went to fancy cafes. As soon as I graduated, I moved out of the dorm and got this small studio apartment.

The money was resolved by being in Han Ji-ae’s bank account. Han Ji-ae even wrote down the password on the back of the bank account. Thanks to this, I was able to live a comfortable college life and even got this one-room apartment.

After graduating, I got a job. I used my major to work in the secretary office of a small business president. I worked there for over a year, but quit two months ago because I was getting married. I didn’t want to work when my husband is working.

Yoon Seon-oh, I met him at work. He was an accountant and often came to the company where Hee-young worked. We only knew each other by face for a few months and just said hello, but one day, out of the blue, he asked me out on a date.

We started dating like that, and after a month, he proposed to me. After thinking about it for a week, we decided to get married. And then I quit my job two months ago and am currently preparing for the wedding.

Yoon Seon-oh is seven years older than me and has been married once. I heard that he divorced his previous wife. He has no children with his previous wife and I only have a mother in law.

My future mother-in-law is not very pleased with the fact that her daughter-in-law is an orphan and is still against the marriage, but it doesn’t matter.

Yoon Seon-oh comes from a wealthy family. I heard that his father, who passed away, was a schoolmaster. His older brother is a manager at a large company, and his older sister runs a gallery. He has a younger sister who is a lawyer. Yoon Seon-oh has a reputation as a capable accountant. He used to be a partner accountant at an accounting firm, but he quit three months ago and opened his own office. He used to be a kind and a considerate man. But he’s just been so busy these days that he’s neglecting me.

Yoon Seon-oh wasn’t so handsome that she fell in love with him at first sight, but his condition and background were what determined this marriage. It would be difficult for her to meet a man with such good conditions in the future.

He has his own apartment of about 4500 sq feet and his annual salary is huge. I heard that he will inherit a lot from my in-laws’ wealth later on. If she marries a man like that, her miserable life will change.

Of course, I started living a completely different life from my previous life using Han Ji-ae’s name, but I always felt that there was a limit that I could not overcome. However, if I married Yoon Seon-oh, I could overcome that limit. So it didn’t matter that he had been divorced once or he is remarrying her. It didn’t matter at all that my mother-in-law didn’t like me.

I’m determined to get married, so I’m going to do it. You have to grab the opportunity when it comes.

Hee-young had been given two opportunities so far. The first opportunity was Lee Jong-woo’s money, and the second opportunity was Han Ji-ae’s ID card.

And this is my third chance. I took two chances and I will take this one too.

‘I’ll take a deep breath for now, wake up, and call Seon-oh. Let’s have dinner together. I’ll make him his favorite dish… ‘

Heeyoung put down the beer can and lay down on the sofa.

Seon-oh likes packed lunches. That’s why she’s going to cooking school right now.

Although she is not married yet, Hee-young likes it when her coworkers call her “Madam” when she goes to the office. When she is called “Madam”, she feels like she is a special person.

‘I’m tired…….’

Hee-young closed her eyes. The dress she wore today was very pretty. She had thought that wearing such a dress was someone else’s business. But now it was her business.

It will be like that in the future too.

* * *

[Suck slowly. If you suck too fast, you’ll cum right away.]

While I was sucking the large penis while lying face down with my butt raised, a sour taste filled my mouth. It didn’t feel good to suck the flesh that had been stuck in my hole just a moment ago. It was hard to breathe. I wish I could cum quickly, but this man clearly had no intention of cumming. My jaw started to hurt.

[Are you having a hard time? Should I help you?]

With those words, the man’s hand tightly grabbed my hair.

[town!]

My vision starts to shake as he grabs my hair and starts fucking hard. Every time the head of his penis touches the back of my throat, I feel a raw retching sensation.

[Don’t stick your teeth out, but suck while rolling your tongue.]

A voice falling from above my head is laughing.

[But Yoon Hee-young.]

At that moment the man stopped moving.

[Did you think you could run away?]

At that moment, Heeyoung opened her eyes wide.

“Dream, dream… … .”

Hee-young looked around, panting. She was lying on the sofa in my small studio. And on the table was a can of beer that she had finished drinking. She had a dream while she was sleeping for a while.

‘It was a dream… … .’

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a dream about that guy. When I first ran away, I dreamed about him almost every day, but it’s probably been a year since I last had one.

‘Am I feeling unwell? Is that why I had that dream… … .’

Heeyoung got up from the sofa and checked her phone. There was a text message.

‘Mr. Seon-oh’s.’

[Let’s have dinner together. Meet me at your favorite Seylen. 7pm.]

Hee-young smiled slightly after checking the text. Seylen was the place where Seon-oh and her had their first date together.

‘What should I wear when I go out?’

Hee-young went into her room, forgetting about the nightmare from earlier. She was drenched in sweat, so she was thinking of taking a shower and changing her clothes.

It was now 5 o’clock, so I had to hurry and get ready if I wanted to get there by 7 o’clock.

* * *

Heeyoung arrived at Seylen at 6:30. She arrived a little early because the appointment was at 7.

‘Am I too early?’

Seon-oh is the type of person who usually arrives right on time for appointments.

‘He must have made a reservation, so let’s go in and wait.’

As she was getting out of the taxi and about to open her umbrella, someone held out an umbrella over Hee-young’s head.

‘Mr. Seon-oh? He is here already?’

Hee-young raised her head, thinking that it was Seon-oh who had been waiting for her and had given her the umbrella, but her eyes froze the moment she saw the other person.

Bam.

Heeyoung dropped the handbag she was holding.

‘Wow, that’s ridiculous… How… How… .’

She was so shocked that her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and her teeth chattered.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

The man who held the umbrella for her smiled and greeted her. A man with a scar on his lip. A tattoo visible above his buttoned-up white shirt.

It was that man. Lee Jong-woo.

“Uh, uh, how… … .”

“That’s right. What a coincidence. To meet you here.”

coincidence?

That can’t be true.

‘How did you find me? He supposedly heard about my death….’

“I guess you had an appointment to meet someone here?”

“Oh, oh, you’ve got the wrong person.”

“I think I have got it correctly, Han Ji-ae.”

My heart sank.

‘How do you know my name… … .’

“I know a girl who ran off with my money. But she died in a fire at a gosiwon a few years ago. What an unlucky girl. She would have lived well if she ran off with my money, but she was burned to death.”

‘He knows everything. What do I do now?’

“But you know.”

The man holding the umbrella bent down. As his face got closer, Hee-young unconsciously shrugged her shoulders.

“There’s one thing that girl doesn’t know. She doesn’t know that even in death, she can’t escape from me. I’m not the kind of guy who lets a girl go once she’s hit on someone and then just lets her die.”

Hee-young’s legs started to tremble as she looked at the smiling man’s face. It felt like she would lose strength in her legs and collapse at any moment.

“Shall we go in?”

The man nodded towards the restaurant entrance and walked away.

Hee-young barely managed to move her trembling legs and walked with the man.

‘How did he know? He knew I was coming. He was waiting for me.’

My mouth was dry and my insides were burning.

‘What should I do? Should I run away? But where? He already knows my name, Han Ji-ae. He might even know where I live.’

Hee-young’s face was pale as she entered the restaurant with the man holding an umbrella, her legs trembling, not knowing what to do.

“You’re getting married?”

As expected, this guy knows everything.

‘Did he know everything from the beginning? Did he know everything and was watching over me … .?’

I don’t know. The nightmare has become reality. I’ve barely made it this far, and everything I’ve worked so hard to build up is going to come crashing down like this. I ran away, but in the end, I couldn’t escape.

Was she unable to escape in the end? Was this man a swamp that she couldn’t escape from?

‘How can I escape? How can I run away?’

“Stop thinking. I can see the stones rolling around in your head.”

Hee-young was startled and trembled at the words of the man who spoke as if he was piercing into her mind.

“How do you think I might have felt at that time?”

“That, that is… … .”

“When I came back, the kid I wanted to marry wasn’t there.. she ran off with my money? I had all sorts of thoughts. At first, it was just funny. At first, it was funny, then I got a little angry, and as time went by, I got annoyed. That little bit of money, I could have just considered it as all spent. I never cared about that money but I’m the type of person who can’t stand someone stabbing me in the back of my head.”

“I’m sorry, I was only able to see the money at that time… … .”

“Why did the girl who ran away with the money move into a gosiwon? Where did she use the entire money?”

“I, I got scammed… … .”

Then the man laughed.

“That’s right, the saying, ‘You reap what you sow’ is true. You hit me in the back of the head, and you too got hit in the back of the head.”

The man stood at the entrance and did not enter the room. Because of this, Hee-young had no choice but to stand next to him. Although she was not tied up, her body did not move as if she was tied up tightly to him.

‘It’s almost 7 o’clock… … If Seon-oh sees this person… … .’

This marriage must be preserved at all costs. No matter what, this marriage must be preserved.

‘Should I kill him? Can I kill him?’

A scary thought came to her mind. In the end, there might only be one way to escape from this man. If this man dies, if this man dies, everything will be resolved. If this man, the source of her fears, the root of her nightmares, disappears, everything that holds her back will disappear.

‘But how do I kill him?’

It’s creepy how I can have such a nonchalant attitude towards the terrifying thought of killing people. But I don’t want to go back to that cesspool any more. Thinking about that time makes me sick.

I would rather die than go back to those days when I couldn’t see ahead, the dampness, the musty smell, the swearing and vulgar conversation coming from all directions, and having to sleep with the door tightly shut.

“I’ll call you. Answer the call even if it’s from an unknown number.”

“Yes?”

“Answer the phone. If you don’t, then I’ll be angry.”

Does he even know my phone number? How much does he know? At that moment, Hee-young noticed a man getting out of a car that had stopped in front of the restaurant and walking towards her.

It’s Yun Seon-oh. He arrived exactly 5 minutes before 7.

‘Oh, what should I do?’

What would he think if he saw her standing with this man?

‘I don’t think we’ll all get caught, right? How should I explain it to him?’

At that moment, Seon-oh’s face brightened and his approaching steps quickened.

“Mr Lee. How come you… … .”

The first person Seon-oh pretended to know was not her, but the man standing next to her.

“Nice to meet you here, Mr. Seon-oh”

Lee Jong-woo extended his hand to Seon-oh. Seon-oh’s expression as he shook his hand seemed to be a bit mean.

“Oh, this is the person I’m going to marry.”

Seon-oh introduced Hee-young to Lee Jong-woo. Then Lee Jong-woo’s eyes smiled.

“She is beautiful. Well, you two, have a good time. I have someone to meet too, so I’ll be taking my leave now… … .”

When Lee Jong-woo backed down obediently, Hee-young became even more afraid.

‘What on earth are you thinking?’

When Lee Jong-woo entered the restaurant first, Seon-oh finally relaxed and exhaled.

“Who is he?”

Hee-young asked, pretending not to know. How do that man and Seon-oh know each other?

“My office clients.”

“Is he your customer?”

“That’s also a big deal. He was in charge of the company I worked for before, but he said that if I became independent, then he would become my customers, so I became independent. Without him, I would be ruined.”

It’s amazing.

I realized that this was all planned. That man intentionally approached Yun Seon-oh and held Yun Seon-oh’s leash. Would it be too self-conscious to think that it was all because of me? But I think that man could do it.

“What does he do?”

“He is a businessman. He handles a lot of money, so he needs an accountant like me.”

“What business?”

“You’re interested in him, aren’t you? You weren’t really interested in what I was doing.”

“Well, that’s just it. You said he was an important customer to you… … .”

“He’s a businessman who handles a lot of money, but he’s a person who does risky things, so I have to be more careful.”

“Do you really have to work with someone like that?”

“If this guy takes back his proposal from me then, I’m screwed.”

This is a trap.

That man set a trap for me through Yoon Seon-oh. It was a trap and a warning at the same time.

A warning that there was no escape for me.
