Desirability- Seokhoon x Rona ✔️

28 Desire is...a rule unbearable

"You mustn't let Yonghwa know you're married." Joo Dan Tae spoke as he sipped on his black coffee. 

He had summoned Seokhoon to his office right after Yonghwa had left. 

"Why?" Seokhoon argued. "Rona now bears a child, she has every right to be publicly announced as Mrs Joo to me." 

"I make the rules here, Seokhoon." Joo Dan Tae spoke sternly. "Rona still hasn't delivered the child yet. Everything is still unsteady. Not yet." 

Seokhoon got impatient. "Why? What is to worry about? And why can't I tell Yonghwa that I am married? It's not like she has anything to do with me." 

"She has much to do with you. Her father is an important business partner. We must not lose their support in our development." 

Seokhoon scoffed. "So it's just strict business. So what is to worry?" 

"Do as I say, or I can't be sure, Rona will get through this child bearing." 

Seokhoon stood in anger, sweeping the things off the coffee table. "JOO DAN TAE!" He yelled startling the staff outside. "You were the one that wanted an heir. We've done it. And now you are trying to destroy my marriage and hurt my wife and child? You bastard!" He gripped onto Dan Tae's collar. 

"I am just saying. She is merely someone I have brought in to marry you, give us an heir. She can be replaced. Just be reminded of that." 

Seokhoon pushed Joo Dan Tae down on his chair. 

"She is irreplaceable." Seokhoon spoke with determination. "She is my wife and if you dare to touch her, I swear I will kill you." 

"Whatever you say, will not make a difference. You still have to be present for the tea time tonight." 

Seokhoon bit his lips and scoffed. "I will be there, but..." He stared into Dan Tae's eyes. "If you touch Rona, and hurt her like you did to my mother, you will see what hell taste like." 

Dan Tae scoffed. "You know nothing, boy. You won't be able to escape my hands or anything I have made a decision of." 

Seokhoon released his grip on Dan Tae's shirt helplessly. 

Thoughts ran back to Seokhoon now, who was standing outside the main house. 

He touched the ring on his finger, still contemplating. 

"Why...why am I still under his control..." 

But he had no choice. He couldn't risk it. 

A swift move, he took the ring off and kept it safe in his inner pocket. 

As he entered the tea room, Dan Tae, Mina and Yonghwa were already discussing happily over tea and desserts. 

"Ah, son!" Dan Tae was overjoyed to see Seokhoon's arrival. 

"Annyeonghaseyo, Joo Seokhoon." Yonghwa got up and held her hand out to shake his. 

"Annyeonghaseyo, Yoon Yonghwa-ssi." He shook her hands courteously. 

"Yonghwa-ssi?" Yonghwa laughed. "You really forgotten about me..." Yonghwa pouted, teasing Seokhoon. But Seokhoon had no response to her tease. 

"Yonghwa was your childhood playmate, you forgot about her? You guys were friends until teenage, when she had to leave for the US with her father." 

Seokhoon tried to search his mind for Yonghwa's presence, but nothing came up.
