OBSESSION: The RED FOX
RETURN
Incheon International Airport shimmered under clean morning light, the polished floors reflecting the procession of black-suited Jeon bodyguards. They moved in perfect formation, stern and silent, clearing a path as whispers rippled among the bystanders.
At the center of it all walked Jeon Sunoo — elegant, soft-featured, unreadable. Every step radiated quiet authority that didn’t match his delicate appearance.
??
“Who is he?” someone murmured.
??
1: “The Jeon heir? No… I heard he’s a foster child.
??
3: “Impossible. He walks like an Alpha.”
Sunoo heard everything but reacted to nothing. His gaze remained forward, expression calm yet distant, as though this country no longer held the right to touch him.
Beside him, Jeon Mingyu adjusted his earpiece.
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Security perimeter stable. Are you comfortable?"
JEON SUNOO/O
"I’m fine, hyung." Voice was soft, steady.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Has the car arrived?"
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Waiting outside. Uncle wants a briefing tonight."
JEON SUNOO/O
Hums "Of course he does.”
They passed another crowd of reporters trying to guess the identity of the “mysterious Jeon Omega,” though none dared approach.
JEON BODYGUARD
"Sir, should we block the cameras?" A guard asked.
JEON SUNOO/O
"No. Let them see." Sunoo didn’t look back.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Visibility is useful. Fear spreads faster when people have a face to attach it to."
JEON MINGYU/DA
Mingyu exhaled sharply. "Your first day back and you’re already terrifying civilians."
JEON SUNOO/O
"I’m simply existing. It’s not my fault they’re afraid."
As they stepped outside, the wind hit Sunoo gently, carrying the faint scents of Seoul—coffee, exhaust, ft early morning rain.
A place he once called home.
A place that once buried him.
JEON SUNOO/O
He blinked slowly. "It feels smaller than I remember."
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Or maybe you’ve grown bigger," retorted
Before Sunoo could reply, a man approached from the waiting line.
JEON BODYGUARD
Master Sunoo, your ride is ready.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Thank you. Load the baggage."
When the guard bowed, Sunoo’s eyes flickered with something unreadable —
Inside the car, Mingyu finally asked:
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Are you sure returning is the right decision?"
Sunoo’s gaze drifted to the passing skyline.
JEON SUNOO/O
" It's even a surprise that the old man is allowing me to step into this country."
JEON MINGYU/DA
"The Old master wasn't exactly—"
JEON SUNOO/O
"I know." Cuts him off quietly.
JEON SUNOO/O
"But that person protected me even when I didn't ask for it. And I don't forget to protect those who helped me themselves."
Mingyu watched him carefully.
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Have you spoken to Jungkook about your arrival?"
Then Sunoo whispered, almost too softly:
JEON MINGYU/DA
"So this will be a surprise for them and for my wife."
Sunoo leaned back, eyes cold.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Yeah. When are you going to have a child?"
JEON MINGYU/DA
Flushed face and an embarrassed voice "Jeon Sunoo!!"
JEON SUNOO/O
Laughs "It was a joke...half."
Somewhere across the city.
Park Sunghoon paused in his office mid-signature, unable to explain the sudden chill down his spine.
PARK SUNGHOON/E
"…Strange."
??
His secretary looked up.
"Sir? "
PARK SUNGHOON/E
"Nothing." Straightened his tie.
PARK SUNGHOON/E
[Just feels like something important arrived today.]
𝓐𝓛𝓛𝐸𝑂
Just to be clear...
This is a 50% slow burn and 50% not, so I decide which is which..
𝓐𝓛𝓛𝐸𝑂
Everything is already pre-written except for the second arc..
LATER
The Jeon Estate rose like a fortress—glass walls, steel bones, and carefully manicured gardens that whispered wealth. As Sunoo stepped inside, the staff straightened instantly. Some bowed respectfully, others kept their eyes lowered, uncertain of the soft-spoken newcomer who walked like a shadow wrapped in silk.
??
Butler: Master Sunoo, welcome home.
??
Butler: Your room has been prepared. Dinner will be served whenever you wish.
Sunoo offered a polite nod but no smile.
JEON SUNOO/O
Thank you. Please continue with your duties.
When they dispersed, Mingyu leaned closer.
JEON MINGYU/DA
You know they’re terrified of you already, right?
JEON SUNOO/O
Why? I simply breathed.
Before Sunoo could respond, the sharp click of heels echoed from the hallway.
Jeon Dong Wok, tall and commanding, approached with a calculating smile.
JEON DONGWOOK/TBA
"Sunoo. You’ve arrived earlier than expected."
JEON SUNOO/O
"I prefer efficiency, sir," Answered with a diplomatic bow.
JEON DONGWOOK/TBA
"It's father young man and I hope you also prefer cooperation. There is… much to discuss".
JEON SUNOO/O
"I assumed as much."
Dong Wok’s eyes softened for a moment.
JEON DONGWOOK/TBA
"You look well. Italy suited you."
JEON SUNOO/O
"It taught me discipline. That is all."
JEON DONGWOOK/TBA
"Come to my office in an hour. Bring your older brother, his in his office. "
JEON SUNOO/O
"Understood."
As Dong Wok left, Mingyu sighed.
JEON MINGYU/DA
"He’s tense. The market is unstable. Imperium Capital is pushing competitors harder than usual."
JEON SUNOO/O
"Park Sunghoon... Was it? "
Sunoo’s voice cooled several degrees.
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Everything in this country seems to trace back to him."
JEON MINGYU/DA
Hesitates "Should we investigate discreetly?"
JEON SUNOO/O
"No. Thoroughly... "
JEON SUNOO/O
"If he wants control, we cannot afford half-measures."
They headed toward the east wing. The estate staff whispered behind their hands.
Maid 1: He’s the Jeon foster child?
Maid 2:.He looks so fragile… but the aura—
Maid 1: Shh! He’ll hear you!
Sunoo did hear, but only murmured,
JEON SUNOO/O
"People see what they want, not what’s real."
JEON MINGYU/DA
Chuckled softly. "You know, most Omegas dream of being adored by the public."
JEON SUNOO/O
"I do not need adoration, hyung."
JEON SUNOO/O
Paused by a tall window overlooking Seoul. "I need results. And answers."
A maid approached timidly.
Maid: M-Master Sunoo… your luggage has been placed in your room..
JEON SUNOO/O
"Thank you. You’ve done well"
She flushed—surprised by his gentle tone.
Maid: Y-Yes sir!
When she hurried off, Mingyu nudged him.
JEON MINGYU/DA
"See? When you’re soft, people melt."
JEON SUNOO/O
Blinked "Do you want me to melt them?
JEON MINGYU/DA
"That’s not what I meant—!"
The corner of Sunoo’s mouth curved.
Before Mingyu's could protest further, a guard was marching up to them urgently, whispering into Mingyu's ear.
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Sunoo, Jungkook... wants to see you"
Sunoo’s breath stilled—barely noticeable.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Really now."
The guard handed him a sealed envelope.
JEON MINGYU/DA
Whispered, "Do you want to open it?"
Sunoo traced the familiar handwriting with a cold finger.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Maybe later, I'll see him first."
He folded the letter once, slid it into his pocket, and said quietly:
JEON SUNOO/O
"You should go to your room as well, I already told your wife."
JEON MINGYU/DA
Sighs, lips curved to a small smile "See you later."
I'LL MAKE THEM
The briefing room was dim, lit only by a long digital screen displaying data streams and corporate symbols. Jeon Jungkook stood in front, arms crossed, expression carved from stone. Sunoo took the seat beside him, quiet, composed, unreadable.
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
Broke the silence first.
"We’ll begin."
A guard cleared his throat nervously.
JEON BODYGUARD
Park Sunghoon’s movement logs for the past six months… all accounted for, sir.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Show me" Voice soft but commanding
Lines of schedules and financial patterns appeared.
Meetings. Mergers. Hostile takeovers.
JEON SUNOO/O
"Here. Imperium’s pressure in quarter three — he escalated aggressively. Why?"
The analyst, Sim Jaehyun spoke up, eyes fixed on his laptop as he explained.
SIM JAEHYUN/A
"We believe he was targeting small firms like Kim Dong Min networks—"
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Belief isn’t enough. Give me certainty."
JEON SUNOO/O
"Park Sunghoon… was it intentional?"
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Highly." replied.
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Imperium’s pattern shows strategic strangulation. He wanted our family business to collapse."
SIM JAEHYUN/A
"And almost succeeded. ALMOST"
Jungkook studied Sunoo carefully.
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Does this change your intention to meet him?"
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Good. I’ll be beside you the entire time."
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Park Sunghoon sent a formal request. He wants a direct meeting with the Jeon clan."
Sunoo’s lashes lifted slightly.
SIM JAEHYUN/A
"That's Fast."
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"His timing is suspicious," Added.
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Almost like he sensed your return."
JEON MINGYU/DA
"We did made a scene at the airport, maybe that counted. "
JEON SUNOO/O
"Analyze the place. And ensure the room is under our control."
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Working on it."
A guard approached with a folder.
JEON BODYGUARD
Master Jungkook, we recovered transactions between Imperium and two shell syndicates in Italy.
JEON BODYGUARD
Yes sir. Matching dates from the… ambush.
JEON SUNOO/O
Looks up sharply.
"Show me. 𝐍𝐎𝐖."
Documents displayed encrypted payments.
Jungkook’s jaw clenched, a rare crack in his control.
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"This isn’t coincidence, Sunoo."
JEON SUNOO/O
"No, it’s not."
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"If Park Sunghoon or his father funded anything—"
Sunoo interrupted quietly.
JEON SUNOO/O
"We do not assume. We verify."
Jaehyun stepped back as the tension thickened.
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Sunoo… if he is truly linked to his death—"
Jungkook’s glare sliced him in half.
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Watch your mouth. Don’t speak that name here."
JEON MINGYU/DA
"A- I'm sorry. "
Sunoo touched Jungkook’s arm lightly.
The cold warrior stilled immediately
JEON SUNOO/O
"It’s fine," Said
JEON SUNOO/O
"But we move carefully. Park Sunghoon may be a pawn. Or the blade."
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Then we test him. See which role he plays."
JEON SUNOO/O
"When is the scheduled meeting?"
JEON MINGYU/DA
"Tomorrow evening. Imperium Estate, Blackthorn Mansion."
Jungkook smirked — cold, lethal.
Jaehyun spoke up, cold and calculative.
SIM JAEHYUN/A
"He chose his territory. Bold."
JEON SUNOO/O
"Let him be bold. I don’t mind walking into a lion’s den."
Jungkook’s eyes softened for one second.
JEON JUNGKOOK/E
"Just remember — lions die too."
JEON SUNOO/O
"They kneel."
JEON SUNOO/O
"I'll make them."
