@nana Oh, I get it. I see season 1 a little differently.
I could be wrong, so this is just my opinion, but it seemed to me that the entire 1st season showed us the development of his obsession, how it intensified (i.e., worsened) with each passing day.
Spoiler!
There's just a big difference between the 1st and 2nd seasons: the object of his obsession (Nanjo) was lost, whereas in the1st season, I don't think Mok-yeon even fully realized he would actually lose Nanjo.
So, his obsession began from the very first meeting.
1) He decided to "steal" his friend's boyfriend (yes, Mok-Yeon and Sunhwa cheated on their partners, but I don't think they slept with/stole each other's partners; that's not usually done with friends).
2) He decided to lie to Sunhwa.
3) He manipulated Nanjo to get not just s*x from him, but relationships and dates.
4) He was jealous because of Sunhwa.
5) He ripped out his ear piercing.
6) He slept with Sunhwa just to keep him from going to Nanjo.
7) He found out everything about Nanjo's company and his family.
8) He ran to Nanjo's work out of emotion.
9) He decided to reveal their relationship right in the middle of s*x with Sunhwa.
If you take each of these events separately, it’s like, “Well, ok, it happens,” but if you take them all together, it’s the development of an obsession.
He said different things out loud and in his head, like that confident "he'll get bored quickly." But he was just a big talker. That's let him down too. He realized too late that he was hooked.
Of course, such obsession and dependence doesn't seem healthy. Mok-Yeon probably has psychological issues, otherwise he would have dealt with it more easily and calmly. (Perhaps the first chapters of Season 2 about his childhood weren't just shown to us as a simple "feel sorry for the top", but as an explanation for his psychological problems.)
