Me? Obsessed? | Bbangsaz Au

You think you're so perfect?

Minji POV:

Befriending Sullyoon had been surprisingly easy. Too easy. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with her, and that made me more suspicious. No one was this perfect. 

Who does she think she is? She isn't Hanni. 

No one is as perfect as Hanni.

She had to have something, some secret, some flaw, some reason that would make Hanni reconsider her presence in her life. 

Everyone has dirt.

I just needed to dig deep enough to find it.

But so far? Nothing. It was infuriating.

"So, what do you think of this dress?" Sullyoon asked, holding up a soft, pastel pink number against her body as we browsed through the racks of the local boutique.

I smiled. "It's cute. Suits you."

Her grin was pure and unbothered, as if she had no idea that I was sizing her up, calculating every word, every move. But the more time I spent with her, the harder it was to find anything to hate. She was friendly, bubbly, and genuinely sweet. And that was the problem. I couldn't find anything wrong with her, and the fact that she was so... perfect made me hate her even more.

As we moved on to another store, I discreetly watched her interactions. She wasn't the type to gossip or say anything negative about others, which made my search for something damning even more frustrating. My patience was thinning, and I couldn't afford to keep coming up empty-handed.

"So how long are you in town for?" I asked, trying to sound casual as I shifted the conversation toward Hanni.

"A few more days," Sullyoon replied, flipping through clothes. "I'm staying with Hanni for the rest of my visit. It's been so nice catching up with her."

I felt a sharp sting in my chest at the mention of Hanni. Of course she was staying with her. She's right there, in her space, all the time.

"That's great," I said, forcing a smile. "I'm sure you two have a lot to catch up on."

"Yeah, it's been fun." Sullyoon glanced over at me. "But, you know, it's also really nice getting to know you. Hanni's mentioned you before. I can see why she likes you."

I froze for a moment, trying to keep my face neutral. What did she mean by that? Was it casual, or did she know something? Did Hanni talk about me more than I realized?

Don't panic.

 I had to stay in control. I couldn't let her see how those words rattled me. So I laughed it off, giving her a soft nudge. "Well, I like her too. She's a great friend."

Friend. Even saying the word felt like a betrayal of everything I felt for Hanni. But Sullyoon just smiled, completely unaware of the twisted mess brewing inside me.

Hanni POV: 

Dani and I were in the same area, just a few shops away, when I saw them.

Minji and Sullyoon. Together. Laughing, talking, smiling. 

Too close.

My stomach churned with a mix of jealousy and rage that I tried to suppress, but it was pointless. Seeing Minji with Sullyoon made my blood boil. She was mine. Sullyoon had no business being so close to her.

Dani was talking about something, but I wasn't paying attention. My eyes were locked on Minji as they left the store, still side by side, like they'd been friends for years. The scene was like a knife twisting in my chest, and I could feel my control slipping.

"Hey, you okay?" Dani's voice broke through my thoughts, and I turned to her, forcing a smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just keep shopping."

But I couldn't focus. Every time I tried to listen to Dani, my gaze would drift back to Minji and Sullyoon. My thoughts spiraled, a creeping sense of possessiveness sinking deeper into me. I should have been the one with Minji, laughing and smiling. 

Not Sullyoon.

We went into another store, but I couldn't shake the image of them together. My jealousy wasn't subtle anymore. It gnawed at me, making me feel anxious and desperate. 

I needed to get rid of Sullyoon.

I glanced over at Dani, still happily browsing the racks of clothes. She was completely oblivious to the storm brewing inside me, and it was probably better that way. If she knew what I was thinking—what I was planning—she'd be shocked. Or worse, she'd try to stop me.

Minji POV:

By the time I dropped Sullyoon off at Hanni's house, I was feeling more frustrated than ever. My plan to find dirt on her was going nowhere. I had nothing on her. No leverage, no reason to get her out of the way. And Hanni... Hanni was probably happy having her around, sharing old memories and laughing about who knows what. It made me sick.

Sullyoon gave me a wave as she headed inside, and just as I turned to leave, I caught sight of something someone moving in the window of Hanni's room.

Hanni. She was watching us.

For a split second, our eyes met through the glass, and I felt a jolt of something—fear, excitement, possessiveness—I wasn't sure. But I couldn't let her see how rattled I was. So I smiled, waved, and left like nothing was wrong.

Hanni POV:

From my room, I watched as Sullyoon came inside, dropping her bags near the door. She looked up, catching my eye, and smiled. I had to act normal. Casual. I couldn't let her see the fire raging inside me.

"So," I started, trying to keep my tone light, "how was your day with Minji?"

Sullyoon plopped down on the bed, oblivious to the tension in my voice. "It was fun! She's really nice, you know."

I gritted my teeth, but I kept smiling. Nice. Right. That wasn't how I'd describe Minji, but Sullyoon didn't need to know that.

"So, you and Minji seem to be getting pretty close," I said, the words dripping with faux innocence.

Sullyoon laughed. "Oh, come on, Hanni. I know you like her."

She winked at me. "You don't have to pretend with me. I'm not interested in her like that. I know she's your girl."

I could feel the heat rising to my face, but I forced a laugh. "That's not—"

"Relax," she interrupted, still grinning. "I'm not here to get in your way. You two are clearly into each other."

I didn't know whether to be relieved or more furious. But one thing was certain—I wasn't letting Sullyoon anywhere near Minji again.

Minji was mine.
