SEDUCTIVE EMBER'S || HEESUN 𝟏𝟖+ ||

Seizing - Chapter 6

Sunoo's voice trembled as he confessed, "I s-slept with him." Fear seized him, twisting his stomach into knots. His friends stared, jaws agape in horror.

"With your dad's boss?" Jake gasped, grabbing Sunoo's elbows and turning him to face each other. "How did he even find you?"

They had come upstairs as soon as Sunoo saw his dad fawning over Heeseung, calling him "Sir."

Sunoo explained everything - how Heeseung had helped him after he was drugged, how he ended up at the older's mansion, how they'd had sex. With every sordid detail, his friends gasped in
dismay.

Sobs wracked Sunoo's body, bile rising in his throat as the memories churned his stomach. But what truly petrified him was that his father worked so closely with Heeseung.

Sunoo had hoped it would be the last time he saw Heeseung, that he could put it all behind him. But it seemed fate had other plans, as if he were destined to be trapped by this man, just as he had been trapped by Max's stalking and the bodyguards who had him caged in his room.

The look in Heeseung's eyes told Sunoo everything - he could sense the obsession growing on him. Sunoo shuddered to think what would happen if Heeseung told his dad about the night, they spend together.

He wasn't ready for the fallout, for the consequences that would come crashing down when his friends will leave and he will be alone again.

A new fear took root in his mind - the fear of Heeseung's watchful gaze, of being stalked, hunted and owned by him. Heeseung's chilling words still echoed in his mind, a promise of the terror yet to come.

Sunoo sat anxiously in his room, his heart pounding as he confided his worries to his friends. They tried to reassure him, but a sense of foreboding had settled over Sunoo. He knew in his gut that his life was about to change forever.

The minutes dragged by until his mother appeared, carrying a tray of sweets and snacks. Sunoo leapt up, grabbing her hand desperately.

"Mom, I'm so sorry about last night. I shouldn't have gone out without permission," he pleaded, his eyes searching hers for any sign of just how much trouble he was in.

His mother gazed at him with deep concern and pity. "It's okay, Sunoo." she said gently, though her furrowed brow betrayed her calm tone.

"Is...is Heeseung still here?" Sunoo asked, panic rising in his voice as he uttered his name

What did Heeseung say to Dad?" Sunoo asked frantically.

His mother's eyes widened. "Don't call Mr. Lee by his first name." she scolded.

"And yes...he's still downstairs with your father." She paused, seeming to wrestle with whether to continue, she glanced nervously over her shoulder.

"What did he say, Mom?" Sunoo begged, his knuckles white as he gripped her hand.

His mother paused, as if considering her words carefully. "I think it's best if your friends go home now. I've let their parents know you're back safely."

Jake, Jungwon and Niki exchanged uneasy glances, having forgotten to inform their own families.

His mother's evasive answers only amplified Sunoo's terror over what consequences awaited him downstairs.

"Why did you hide him, Mr. Kim?"
Heeseung's inquiry pierced the air as he settled onto the sofa, casually indulging in a sip of coffee served by Mrs. Kim.

Mrs. Kim, standing steadfastly beside her husband, sensed an unsettling atmosphere. Having a deep understanding of Heeseung's influential profession and the power he wielded, she couldn't fathom that his visit to the Kim residence would be without repercussions.
