**The Dark Side of Obsession**

Part 3

Gihun's concern for the group's safety had reached a boiling point. He couldn't shake off the feeling that Daeho's sudden change in behavior was a sign of something more sinister. As they sat around the dinner table, Gihun decided to confront Daeho about his actions. "Daeho, can I talk to you for a minute?" Gihun asked, his voice firm but controlled. Daeho looked up from his gaze on Myung-gi, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Of course, Gihun. What's up?" Gihun stood up, his eyes scanning the group before focusing on Daeho. "I've noticed a change in your behavior, and I'm worried. You've been staring at Myung-gi nonstop, and it's making everyone uncomfortable." Daeho chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I'm just trying to get to know him better, that's all." Gihun's eyes narrowed. "No, Daeho, it's more than that. You're not even trying to hide it. You're fixated on him, and it's not healthy." The group around them began to take notice, their conversations dying down as they listened in on the exchange. Daeho's smile grew wider, but his eyes flashed with a hint of anger. "I'm fine, Gihun. You don't need to worry about me." Gihun took a step closer to Daeho, his voice low and urgent. "Daeho, I'm telling you, this isn't normal. You're scaring people, and you need to stop." Daeho's face darkened, his eyes blazing with intensity. "You don't understand, Gihun. You don't know what it's like to be me." Junhee spoke up, her voice hesitant. "Daeho, maybe Gihun has a point. You're acting strange, and it's making us all uncomfortable." Daeho's gaze flickered to Junhee, his expression cold. "You don't know anything about me, Junhee. You don't know what I'm capable of." The air was thick with tension as Daeho's words hung in the air. Gihun could sense the group's unease, their eyes darting back and forth between Daeho and Myung-gi. Suddenly, Daeho's face contorted, his eyes flashing with a manic energy. "Fine! You want to know the truth? I'll tell you!" The group exchanged nervous glances as Daeho's voice rose to a shout. "I'm not in debt! I'm not a marine! I'm a wealthy man, and I'm here because I wanted to be. And it's not because I'm desperate or in debt. It's because I'm in love with Myung-gi." The group's gasps and whispers filled the air as Daeho's words hung in the air. "I've been in love with him for 13 years, ever since he was 14 and I was 19. I was his superior at the office, and I couldn't help but notice him. I stalked him, followed him, watched him. And when I found out he was in debt, I knew I had to follow him here." Myung-gi's eyes were wide with shock, his face pale. "What? How did you...?" Daeho's eyes locked onto Myung-gi, his gaze burning with intensity. "I know everything about you, Myung-gi. I know where you live, where you work, what you like to eat. And I have to be with you. I have to make you mine." The group's reactions ranged from horror to disgust, their voices rising in a cacophony of shock and outrage. Thanos stood up, his face twisted in anger. "You're a sick freak, man! You need to get away from us!" Namgyu nodded in agreement, his eyes flashing with anger. "Yeah, you're not welcome here. You're a predator, and we don't need you." Hyunju stood up, her voice firm. "Daeho, I think you need to leave. You're making everyone uncomfortable, and we don't want you here." Daeho's face contorted, his eyes blazing with anger. "You don't understand! You don't know what love is! I'll show you! I'll show you all!" As the group's voices rose in a chorus of outrage and fear, Myung-gi's eyes locked onto Daeho's face, a memory slowly dawling on his features. "Wait...I know you," Myung-gi whispered, his eyes wide with shock. "You're...you're my old boss! You're the one who...who used to work in the office when I was an intern!" Daeho's face twisted into a grotesque smile. "Ah, yes. I remember now. You used to call me 'sir' and 'oppa'. And I would watch you, always watching you, waiting for the perfect moment to make my move." The group's gasps and whispers filled the air as Daeho's true nature was revealed. Gihun's eyes locked onto Daeho, his face set in a firm expression. "We need to get away from him," Gihun said, his voice low and urgent. "We need to protect ourselves and Myung-gi." As the group's voices rose in agreement, Daeho's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with a manic energy. "This is just the beginning," Daeho whispered, his voice dripping with menace. "This is just the start of our game."
