Chapter 10 - Episode 10 – Obsession, Teasing & Dangerous Intentions

Scene 1: Arrival at Mr. Kim's Bungalow

(Yun-Hee and Si-Woo step out of the car, taking in the dark, towering structure of Mr. Kim's mansion. The atmosphere is cold, unwelcoming—just like the man waiting for them at the entrance. Mr. Kim stands with his hands in his pockets, his sharp eyes fixed on Yun-Hee like a predator studying its prey.)

Mr. Kim (voice low, almost mocking): "You're finally here. Thought you ran away?"

Yun-Hee (crossing her arms, glaring): "Maybe I should have."

(Mr. Kim lets out a quiet chuckle, his smirk deepening.)

Mr. Kim: "You won't. You never do."

(Si-Woo steps closer, his body slightly angled in front of Yun-Hee protectively.)

Si-Woo (coldly): "If she wants to leave, she can."

(Mr. Kim's smirk fades instantly. His eyes darken as he takes a step forward, ignoring Si-Woo completely and staring directly at Yun-Hee.)

Mr. Kim (low, firm): "Inside. Now."

(Yun-Hee feels a shiver run down her spine. She hates how commanding his voice is, but she walks past him anyway. Si-Woo follows reluctantly, his eyes never leaving Mr. Kim.)

Scene 2: The Room Assignment & A Warning

(Inside, Mr. Kim gestures toward Si-Woo.)

Mr. Kim: "Your room is downstairs. Next to the kitchen."

Si-Woo (raising an eyebrow): "And Yun-Hee?"

Mr. Kim (smirking): "Upstairs. Next to mine."

(Yun-Hee immediately frowns and turns to Si-Woo.)

Yun-Hee: "Let's switch rooms."

(Before Si-Woo can even respond, Mr. Kim's smirk vanishes, his voice turning cold.)

Mr. Kim (firmly): "No."

(Yun-Hee glares at him, but his expression remains unreadable. There's no room for argument. She clenches her fists but says nothing.)

(Mr. Kim turns his back and starts walking.)

Mr. Kim: "Si-Woo, take your stuff and go to your room. Yun-Hee, with me."

(Yun-Hee hesitates but eventually follows. Si-Woo watches with narrowed eyes, muttering under his breath.)

Si-Woo: "This guy really thinks he owns the place..."

Scene 3: The Uncomfortable Room Scene

(The moment Yun-Hee steps inside her room, she turns to face Mr. Kim angrily.)

Yun-Hee: "Why are you acting like this? You didn't even let me choose my own room—"

(Before she can finish, Mr. Kim moves closer. Too close. She instinctively steps back, but he follows until her back hits the wall. He places one hand next to her, trapping her.)

Mr. Kim (low, voice dripping with control): "Because this is my house. And in my house, I decide everything."

(Yun-Hee's breath hitches. She refuses to let him intimidate her, but the way he looks at her—like he owns her—makes her skin burn.)

Mr. Kim (tilting his head, whispering near her ear): "Or... are you afraid of staying near me?"

(Yun-Hee's heart pounds. Before she can push him away, there's a sudden knock on the door. Si-Woo's voice.)

Si-Woo: "Yun-Hee, are you okay?"

(Mr. Kim smirks but doesn't move. He keeps his eyes locked on her, daring her to respond.)

Yun-Hee (swallowing, then loudly): "I'm fine!"

(As she steps forward to open the door, her foot slips. Just before she can fall, Mr. Kim catches her—his grip strong around her waist. His lips curve into a knowing smirk.)

Mr. Kim (tauntingly): "Careful. You keep falling around me."

(Yun-Hee quickly pushes him away and yanks the door open. Si-Woo steps in, glaring at Mr. Kim before focusing on Yun-Hee.)

Si-Woo (concerned): "Are you sure?"

(Yun-Hee nods quickly. Mr. Kim simply chuckles and walks out without another word.)

Scene 4: Dinner & Mr. Kim's Growing Jealousy

(During dinner, Si-Woo and Yun-Hee laugh and talk, teasing each other over past gaming failures. Mr. Kim watches in silence, his grip tightening on his glass every time Si-Woo leans closer to Yun-Hee.)

Si-Woo (grinning): "You remember the time you lost that entire match because you pressed the wrong key?"

Yun-Hee (groaning): "Shut up! That was one time!"

(She lightly shoves him, and he laughs. Mr. Kim's eyes darken. The moment Si-Woo finishes eating, Mr. Kim's voice cuts through the conversation.)

Mr. Kim (coldly): "Since you have so much energy, wash the dishes."

Si-Woo (frowning): "Huh? Why me?"

Mr. Kim (leaning back in his chair, voice emotionless): "Because I said so."

(Si-Woo grumbles but gets up. Yun-Hee, feeling guilty, stands up too.)

Yun-Hee: "I'll help—"

Mr. Kim (firmly): "No. Let him do it."

(Yun-Hee glares at him, but he doesn't care.)

(As Si-Woo washes the dishes, Yun-Hee leans on the counter, watching.)

Si-Woo (grumbling): "Seriously, why doesn't he just hire a servant?"

(Before Yun-Hee can answer, Mr. Kim suddenly appears in the doorway.)

Mr. Kim (cold, eyes locked on Yun-Hee): "Because I don't trust people."

Si-Woo (raising an eyebrow): "Not even for something this small?"

Mr. Kim (his voice sharp): "No. There are very few people I trust."

(His words are directed at Yun-Hee. She shifts uncomfortably under his gaze.)

Scene 5: A Dangerous Obsession

(Later that night, Yun-Hee and Si-Woo play a game in the living room. They tease each other, laughing freely. Eventually, they fall asleep on the couch—Yun-Hee's head resting on Si-Woo's shoulder.)

(Hours later, Mr. Kim walks into the room. He stops at the sight of them, his entire body tensing. His gaze darkens, his lips pressing into a thin line.)

(Slowly, he strides forward and grabs Si-Woo's arm, shaking him awake roughly.)

Mr. Kim (cold, voice laced with jealousy): "Go to your room."

(Si-Woo groggily blinks, then glares.)

Si-Woo: "What the hell—"

Mr. Kim (sharper, warning): "Now."

(Si-Woo clenches his jaw but gets up and walks away. Mr. Kim then turns to Yun-Hee, carefully lifting her into his arms. She stirs slightly but doesn't wake.)

(He carries her upstairs, into her room. Gently placing her on the bed, he brushes a strand of hair from her face, his fingers lingering on her cheek.)

Mr. Kim (whispering, darkly possessive): "You think you have a choice, Yun-Hee?"

(His lips curl into a dangerous smirk as he stares down at her sleeping form.)

Mr. Kim: "You're already mine."
