TAEHYUNG'S OBSESSION

Chapter 3

I woke up and Taehyung was gone. I looked at the wall clock and it says 9:47 am. He must have left a while ago because it's usually eight o'clock.

I looked at the bedside table. I saw there was food. I rub my eyes and touch the pancake. It's cold! I was exhausted.

I stood up and went to the door. As expected, it's locked. I knocked there. I heard a voice.

"Hey!" I shouted

"Ma'am, you can't go out-"

"Stop putting words to my mouth. I don't want breakfast!" I screamed.

"P-but ma'am, you needed it earlier and sir ordered it-"

"It's so cold already! What time did you put it here?"

"N-oh ma'am, that was a while ago-"

"Give me new breakfast. I don't want cold," I ordered.

He followed. I watched him take it and go out. I heard the door locked which made my eyes roll. I just turned on the flatscreen tv and bought a show on netflix.

When breakfast came, I sent him away immediately. I eat while watching. It's actually quite nice. I mean, this series. This is stranger things. It relieves boredom especially now that I'm missing my cellphone (which Taehyung hid.)

After a while I heard the door open. I saw Linda's head peeking out. I made her eyes widen and her whole body entered. He is holding a cellphone to his ear.

"Ma'am, sir would like to talk to you-"

"I don't want to," I replied and continued watching.

Why didn't he return my cell phone for me to call, huh?! Maybe he and Linda have a relationship and he uses that as an excuse for them to talk.
"Well, sir. Ma'am doesn't want it," I heard her say. He waited and listened to what the other person was saying.

"Ma'am, just a moment-"

"I don't want to," I repeated.

"He really doesn't want it, sir," she said. I made a face and rolled my eyes.

"Watching TV and then eating breakfast," I heard her say.

"Yes, I just woke up."

I dreamed. I thought he's a busy man? Why call here to find out what I'm doing?

"Can you leave? I can't hear what I'm watching," I said. Linda nervously nodded and walked away.

"I'm being sent out, sir." The last thing I heard was before she closed the door and locked it. I just sighed.

I fell asleep after eating. I woke up at one o'clock in the afternoon. I turned the tv off and stood up to take a bath. I also noticed lunch on the bed side table. What I ate for breakfast is gone. And the food is still warm huh. I'm like a prisoner here.

I spent a long time in the bathroom. Playing bubbles in the tub when I remembered what we did here yesterday. My cheeks were hot. I shook my head. No... I stopped thinking about that because something was burning me. I just played bubbles to distract myself.

I want to call my uncle, but how? I do not have cellphone. It's scary to tease Taehyung and he might even hurt me. I'm afraid the day will come when he will raise his hand on me.

I came out of the shower wearing nothing. I took my bathrobe and went out. I sat in front of the mirror and started drying my hair with a hair dryer. After finishing, I got dressed in comfortable clothes and started eating lunch. I'm so hungry.

Someone knocked again and I didn't hesitate to look back. I just heard a maid's voice.

"Ma'am?" It's not Linda. I looked at her and raised an eyebrow as if I was asking her name.

"I'm Yumi. And ah, sir is on the phone," she said and handed me her phone.

"I do not want." My same answer.

"I don't want to sir-" what she was going to say was cut off and she closed her eyes as if she was being yelled at. She looked at me with scared eyes while offering the phone to me.

"Ma'am please... talk to sir, he seems to be losing focus, please ma'am. He says I will be fired," she answered crying.

I sighed and took his cellphone.

"What's taking it so long? I want to hear her voice!" I heard his frustrated voice on the other line.

"Taehyung," I said. I heard him let out a sigh.

"Wife," he greeted back, his voice immediately calming down.

"What are you doing?" This is a serious question to me.

"Eating," I answered.

"It's late for lunch," he said.

"I'm just waking up. Besides, wait, aren't you busy there?" I will ask.

"I am. I just suddenly remembered you."

"Let me work there, please. I'm really b-bored here," I said sweetly. He sighed.

"I'll think about it," he said that made me really happy.

"Really? You will? Thank you, Taehyung"

"Don't be so happy. I will set rules for the both of us."

I frowned. But at least... he will think about it. I can get out of here and I won't always be here!

That's great!

I'm happily dancing while walking in the hallway of the mansion. He also allowed me not only in the room. I'm so happy!

Actually, he is not there yet. It's only 3 pm and he informed the maids to let me out. I can only go here in the mansion, though. I can't go out. When I peeked outside there were guards so I was going to have a really hard time.

"Can I borrow a cell phone?" I asked Linda while she was sweeping by the poolside.

"I-I don't know, ma'am."

"What?"

"W-it's nothing because sir said you can borrow-"

"He obviously let me out so please! I'll just call uncle," I insisted.

He had trouble breathing. He swallowed and lent me the phone. I grabbed it and sat on the metal chair.

I dialed my uncle's number and he wasn't answering it at first. Good and he also answered.

"Uncle?"

"Who is- Jennie? Is that you?"

"Yes!"

"O-oh Jen, why did your number change? And you haven't been contacted for a few days. Are you okay?"

I pouted and I didn't immediately answer.

"Yes, uncle. I just left my phone somewhere and I can't remember where. Anyway, I just borrowed it from a maid!"

"Oh that's bad," he laughed. I smiled. i miss uncle "Anyway, you don't work anymore? That's nice Jennie, you won't be tired and stressed. You really have a good husband,"

I didn't answer right away. I don't know if it's good or bad that I'm not working.

"Y-yeah, uncle. He's really good." I lied. "How is your company, by the way?"

"Our company, Jen. It is doing good. Your daddy and I are very happy. The pull is really big because there is Nickolson attached to our company. Thanks to your husband," she said happily.
Thanks to him, huh. I am smiling because uncle is really happy in his life. This is beyond enough. I can't see my uncle struggling because he raised me so it hurts me.

Daddy doesn't really show much love to me. Even when I was young. Tito Clyde was the one who took care of me and listened to my problems before so I can't fail him. I can't be a useless niece.
I returned the cellphone to Linda when the call ended. I was just stunned from a distance and Linda seemed to notice that.

"Ma'am, are you all right?" She asked.

"I am okay," I answered.

"It's not because you're insulting me-"

"You like?!" I love it. Before he could answer, I turned back. I shouted the word "thank you!"

Before entering the mansion.
This marriage is pure business. Taehyung's parents don't like me, to be honest. They see me as a cheap gold digger. Which I think is true. I took advantage of Taehyung, being so in love with me, for the sake of my daddy and uncle's company.
Taehyung knows it, but he just chose to ignore it. He also doesn't care if his parents don't like me. We didn't marry in church. We had a civil wedding because he was in such a real hurry. I will soon get married. His parents didn't do anything, but I know they hate me. Especially his mother.
I quietly returned to the room. I have a lot of problems and thoughts. Boring.I've done everything to pass the time. Read a book, take a second shower, watch netflix, cuddle with Linda, and roll around in bed.
It was seven o'clock when I came down from the living room. Taehyung came home at this time. I don't know why I'm excited to see him though. Maybe I'm just fed up with the maids' faces.
When I heard the opening of the main gate, I stood up. I opened the front door and saw his elegant car entering. He got out of it and gave the keys to a guard so he could park it.
He is loosening his necktie and his hair is messy. He looks tired. When he saw me at the door waiting, he seemed surprised.
His eyes widened slightly and he walked faster. When he got close to me, he immediately pulled me in for a hug. He buried his face on my neck while smelling me.
"Taehyung," I called and grabbed his shoulder.

"So this is how it feels huh," he murmured.
"Feel w-what?" I will ask.

"How it feels to have my wife waiting for me to come home," he answered sincerely. What he said seemed to melt my heart. Do I deserve him?
"Taehyung."

He faced me while his arm was still on my waist. He's suppressing his smile but I can still see it.
"Did you miss me? Did you miss your husband?" He asked softly before starting to kiss my forehead. I closed my eyes.
What should I say?
I didn't know what to say so I didn't answer. He looked disappointed for a while.
"W-have you eaten yet?" I hesitate to ask. He shook his head while staring at me.
"Let's go together then," I answered and looked at his necktie.

My hand went there spontaneously and slowly loosened it. He stared at me while I was doing that.
"Get dressed first," I said and turned around slowly. He hugged me again from behind.
"I love you," he said. It made my heart beat fast. I bit my lip because I didn't know what to answer.
"I'm going to get dressed," he said and let go of me. I immediately felt the cold when he separated from me and started walking towards the stairs.
Did I do something wrong? I shrugged and ran to him. I held onto his arm and he looked at it.
"Look, if you're being sweet because of me thinking about letting you go to work, then stop it," he said coldly.
My mouth fell open. I didn't even think of that. He went up again first. I chase after him.

"Taehyung, it's not about that-"

"Shhh... I'll just pretend that your sweet actions were real. Go to the dining room first," he said plainly. I just stopped walking and watched him enter our room.
That wasn't what I meant.
