2021-12-06 18:20:22YOO-MI’s POV
I woke up to the smell of Grandma cooking my favorite bokkeumbap, mixed with the smell of bacon and sausages.My head still pounding from all the crying I did last night. Honey laid beside me where Jeonghan should have been.My daughter refused to leave me, to sleep in her own room. She said she wanted to comfort me, but she said she didn’t know how, so she just stayed beside me and gave me the sweetest hug and kissed me every time.My feet touched the floor and I stretched my arms over my head and walked towards the bathroom. I untied my silky red dress as it pooled down at my feet. Red. The color of my bleeding heart.I turned on the shower knob and stepped under it. The cold water stung as I waited for it to turn warm. When I closed my eyes, all I can see was him, his eyes, his sweet smile. So gentle, so warm, like the water as it cascaded down my back.My finger slid along the tile as I think back to that evening he made lovRelated chapters

YOO-MI’s POVEmbarrassment swarmed across my body as I snatched my heels and harshly sat down on top of my bed.Josh grabbed my feet and I watched him as he put on the shoes on me with tenderness. He looked up and I felt the blood in my veins turned to ice.“I’m sorry Yoo-Mi, it’s just…” He began.He’s struggling to explain why he just felt me up, kissed me, and then stopped.“It’s okay Josh, I know you love Yeri and I shouldn’t have kissed you back. It’s wrong. It was so wrong.” I snapped before getting up from the bed and walking to my full-length mirror. “What are you doing here anyway?”“I came here to check on you,” he said, sitting down on my bed, watching me. “You looked so gorgeous in that dress.” His eyes gleamed as they raked slowly down my body.“Thank you,” I forced out a laugh. “You didn’t have to drive a

YOO-MI’s POVYeri goes through her introductions as I watched our client, Mr. Vernon Chwe sitting beside her. He was leaning back in his chair, his right legs propped up his left knee, an expensive Rolex watch strapped on his beautiful wrist. He has money obviously and he’s staring straight up to Yeri with admiration in his eyes like they’ve known each other for so long.Vernon laughed, a little too loud, a little too long. It’s so obvious from the way Yeri’s eyes lingered on him, tilting her face flirtatiously towards him.She is batting her lashes to Vernon while talking, holding his gaze and slapping his arm playfully like I wasn’t here watching them. Well, we’re five in the room and the other three were discussing on their own. I am the only one who’s observing suspiciously with these two.Her laughter rumbled, shaking her head. She never laughed at Josh like this, is she cheating on my best friend? Oh God, that

YOO-MI’s POV“Okay,” Vernon said softly and removed his shirt again throwing it back on the floor. I could see the lust in his eyes and I swallowed heavily.You can do this Yoo-Mi, for Josh.“Come here,” he said and I walked closer and stopped right in front of him.He patted his lap. “Closer,” he said, his voice a dark, dangerous timbre. Trench-deep.He reached out a hand and grasped my wrist. And then with a tug, I am on his lap.“I won’t let you fall.” He whispered a hot breath in my ear.He tilted his head and dragged his gaze slowly, languidly over me, taking his time running to my shoulder, down the sweep of my long brown hair, lingering on the shadowed cleavage between my breasts which I purposedly opened two buttons of my blouse for him to see it, for me to seduce him.My chest rose and fell madly, frantically with every pant, every rasp of my labored breaths.“What

JOSH’s POVWhen mom and dad finally reconciled, my heart felt overwhelmed but why do I feel like it was still empty. Yes, I have a girlfriend and that was Yeri but my heart shouts for another woman.I felt guilty for kissing her, like the first time I told Yoo-Mi that I’m in love with her and Jeonghan was already her boyfriend.I took another bite of pizza as I stared out the window down the Sunset Boulevard, everything glowing red and green down the street. Candy cane striped store fronts.A few tourists meander down the streets, taking in the Christmas lights. Well, Christmas is coming and I want to celebrate the most important holiday of the year with the woman I love.When Jeonghan came back into Yoo-Mi’s life, I thought I’ve lost her the second time around. I thought she was falling for me too but I was wrong.That night, I found myself in one of the famous clubs in Gangnam drowning in alcohol. And there I met Yeri. She was

YOO-MI’s POV“Vernon is my husband.”“What?” my eyes widened in horror while looking at Yeri to Vernon then back at Yeri. I can’t believe she did this to Josh.“I’m sorry Yoo-Mi but when Brittany showed me pictures of Vernon and another woman together, I left him in Daegu and moved here to Seoul.” Tears crept up in the corner of her eyes while explaining everything to me.“Brittany?” I asked, surprised. “How the hell does Brittany’s name got involved here?”I felt shocked coursed through me like a punch in the gut, stealing my breath in one forceful slam. I could hear Yeri saying something but I couldn’t make out anything through the frantic swirl of thoughts as my brain struggled to piece together a story that made more sense than the ridiculous notion that Brittany was somehow involved in all of this.Brittany again! When will she stop ruining my life, it was alr

JOSH’S POVI pulled the car to a stop in the parking lot adjoining Yeri’s apartment and killed the engine. I jumped out of the car immediately and entered the building, making my way to the elevators.I waited patiently for the ride as it ascended the building, glaring at the buttons and ignoring the couple sharing a ride with me.Once the doors slid open on the 14th floor, I marched along the wide corridor and made a stop to her room. I have my spare keys but I chose to knock.And the door opened wide with Yeri looking haggard and worn in pajamas and red-rimmed eyes.“Hello Yeri,” I spoke softly, watching her eyes widening as she registered my presence.“Josh!” Yeri exclaimed, my gaze fixed on her who’d gone white with shock. “W-What are you doing here? I-I thought you’re going to spend Christmas in LA with your mom and dad?” she rasped taking a step back as though she had seen a ghost.&

YOO-MI’s POVI need a drink.I really need a drink.The Club Syndrome is a huge bar on the outskirts of town, far off the beaten path. It’s popular with tourists and a few town regulars. Different colors of lights emitted a bright glow outside its huge glass door making the whole place lighted.I gnawed on the inside of my cheek, arms over my chest, debating whether or not I really wanted to go in.I’ve never been to a bar before. I picked Josh up once after he passed out during a friend’s bachelor party. I stayed in the car while one of his friends helped him to get inside the car. Josh spent most of the drive home hurling his guts out the open back window as I laughed hysterically from the driver’s seat. I shook my head, smiling at the thought of my best friend.I didn’t know why I was here, why I drove here. Why this late at night, I was suddenly looking for something to dull the ache?But I really really need

YOO-MI’s POVSubconsciously, my fingers ran up at the back of Josh’s neck and I felt him stiffen instantly. He stopped following my moves and froze. Then he relaxed and pulled me closer to him.The side of his face rested against my hair as my face buried on his chest. I savored his warm male scent, his hard body pressing against mine, and his heart beating erratically against my palm.“What are you doing Yoo-Mi?” he spoke through his gritted teeth and I looked to his eyes full of lust and desire.“Is it bothering you, Josh?” I asked and he shook his head but he pushed me to the nearest wall in the bar, taking me by surprise. My entire body was on fire, anticipating what was about to happen next.He kept staring at me like he was trying to memorize every inch of my face and I frowned. “Josh,”“Ask for it Yoo-Mi,” he whispered.“Ask what?” I asked cluelessly. Confusion was seen

YOO-MI's POVMom and Mr. Yoon was standing on both of my sides while we walked at the top of the mountain. Who gave Jeonghan the idea to celebrate our wedding here? But I wasn't complaining though, it was unique and breathtakingly beautiful. The crystal blue sky was clear as the sun sets in the background, coloring everything on the horizon ombre with a mix of tangerine.The walkway was cleared of snow, hundreds of tiny candles lining the green path. I felt tears instantly sprang to my eyes as I stopped walking, placing my hand on my chest.'Are you alright, sweetheart?" mom asked in a panic.I took a deep breath and sighed. 'It's beautiful mom, I want to remember everything."Mr. Yoon chuckle reverberated in his chest as I adjusted the white faux fur wrap draped over my shoulders. 'It was all my son's ideas."I smiled at him and I felt mom touched my hair, sliding a tendril of curled brown hair off my shoulder and gave me a watery smile. 'You look so beautiful."I stopped myself from

JEONGHAN'S POVAFTER FIVE MONTHSI was standing in the living room of Yoo-Mi's house, and like a déjà vu, I went here to talk to her mother again. Like I did three years ago, when I promised to marry her. I haven't proposed to her yet. I wanted to tell her mother first but this time, I am serious, I am 101 percent sure, confident, positive that I want to spend the rest of my life with Yoo-Mi, with Honey and Hansol.'I give you my blessing, Jeonghan." Mom said. 'I give all my trust in you, my son." And she pulled me in a sweet warm hug.'Mom, after the wedding, I want you to stay with us in the mansion. I want you to stop working in the hospital and look for the coffee shop I built for you." I told her as I kissed her forehead.She nodded and burst out crying. Her shoulders shaking while hugging me.'This is what Yoo-Mi and I wanted, because you've been working your whole life for Yoo-Mi and this time, I want to return the favour. I want to return everything good you did for Yoo-Mi and
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 213
YOO-MI's POVMy eyes were sticky, crusty, and glued shut as I shifted uncomfortably on a flat, lumpy mattress and heard the distant sound of a monitor beeping. There was something on my arm. Something stiff and unbending. I tugged at the arm, felt something cool, like a tube along my fingers. Then, the distinct feeling of someone lacing their fingers with mine. I swallowed harshly.I tried to call for Jeonghan, tried to force myself to speak, tried to pry my eyes open but everything hurts. Especially my head. It was pounding in rhythm with the glaring noise in the room but then I heard someone said. 'Push Yoo-Mi!" What?Slowly, I worked to open my eyes and a tiny sliver of bright light, white, sterile. I'm in the hospital. 'Push Yoo-Mi!" and I'm giving birth! Oh god! But I'm only seven months pregnant!I knew I should be worried about the hazy, pulsating thuds ricocheting through my head, making it hard to see clearly, but all I could think about was the baby.I looked over at my righ
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 212
YOO-MI's POVIt's a fire!Scarface was going to burn this whole place down! He's going to burn us alive! No!I quickly rose onto my knees and told mom we need to get outside as quickly and quietly as possible. That we needed to work together to get out of here before the fire spread.'Stay low, baby." I instructed Honey but she's too weak to move. 'Baby, can you hear me?" I asked and she's not replying. I held her arm ready to carry her but mom stopped me.'I'll take her." she said, feeling the tension and worry oozing out of her body as mom's body shook beside me.'Mom…" I protested.'I can do it, Yoo-Mi. Go take the lead. Save yourself for your babies, sweetheart." She said and she lifted Honey up, carrying her, shielding her body from the fire, from the windows crashing, from Scarface.I let out a string of curses as I tried to push through the front door. I saw a hard metal on the ground and I didn't think twice to pick it and slammed it into the door but it was stuck. Something f
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 211
YOO-MI's POVAll I could feel was fear. It was an icy, prickly and terrorizing feeling that settled in my chest, in my blood, and in my bones. It made me hard to breathe, hard to think and hard to move. It was so hard to do anything other than slowly blinked as everything slowed down. Time slowed down, movements slowed down, my heart beating rapidly in my ears slowed down. No…no, no!'Mommy!" I heard Honey again shouted.And everything returned all at once. We're under the table, hiding. Mom's quietly sobbing while Honey's inside her arms. I felt cold hands on my cheeks and Jeonghan's dark brown eyes came into view. 'Babe, are you okay?"I nodded as I felt Honey's tiny hands hugged me. The scuffing noise of chairs against the floor, confused voices, Honey's whimpers, my heart pumping in my chest, everything echoed in my head.'Babe, I need you to call 911. Tell them we lost power and there's possibly an intruder." He was kneeled in front of me, his eyes begging me to listen to him, to

YOO-MI's POVJeonghan's pacing in the driveway, his hands inside his pockets. Mom was sitting at the porch area, Honey on her lap. Josh took me back home because that was what Jeonghan ordered after we called him and he too, left his meeting. The two police officers took Jackson to the police station.The convenience store owner told me to take the items free of charge when I tried to pay for them. But Josh paid for it, anyway. My limbs felt heavy and slow as I forced myself out of the car and into Jeonghan's waiting arms. His heart was beating practically as I laid my head against his chest.'I'm fine. Jeonghan." I reassure him.'No, you're not." he shook his head with a shaky breath.He pulled away but his arms still wrapped around my shoulder. 'Mom…"Mom cried and pulled me in a tight hug, pulling me away from Jeonghan. Honey brushed my hair with her little hands soothing me. 'You scared us, Yoo-Mi." mom said.'I had Josh with me." I weakly responded as mom arms let me go.'It's no
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 209
YOO-MI's POVJosh helped me climb into his car before he walked around and settled himself in the driver's seat and started the engine. It was officially the first day of fall and the cold mountain air means the first snow should arrive any day now.We let the car warm up as I laid my head back, taking deep breaths. The fresh air eased me as I took in deep gulps, let it filled my chest, exhaled through my nose.I took a look on the side mirror and an unmarked police car was ready to follow us, guard us. I liked knowing they were closed by, but I hate remembering why.'Does that Dr. Alison knew you have an appointment today?" Josh interrupted my thoughts and I shook my head. 'What?"'My appointment was supposedly yesterday, but I forgot about it. Can you call her for me, Josh? I'm still feeling dizzy." I told him as I pulled out my phone inside my bag and handed it to him after unlocking it with my finger's sensor. 'You haven't met her yet?"'Not yet."Yeah, I remembered the other day,
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 208
YOO-MI's POVMy teeth sank into my lower lip as I tried to keep from moaning. My hands found Jeonghan's arm on both sides of me on the bed supporting his weight, careful not to crush me. And I ran my fingers through his silky locks, yanked at the ends when he hit that spot. The one that made me see stars and sparks, made my body shudder and spasm.'Jeonghan…" I moaned. 'We should…" I breathed heavily. 'Stop."But he didn't. "I can't, babe." He said panting, and pounding into me, slowly and deeply. This was okay. Dr. Alison said we should do it because sex released prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that are like the medications used to induce labor.I touched his face and I let out a throaty gasp, then a laugh before remembering we're not in the house alone.'Josh," I clenched my teeth as I cupped Jeonghan's face. 'Is in the other room."Jeonghan smirked at me. 'You better be quiet then."His action became faster and I reached for a pillow and clamped it over my head, hoping Josh
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 207
JEONGHAN's POVI sat in the driveway inside my car staring at Yoo-Mi's house as I felt my heart heavy in my chest. I had plans, so many plans. Big plans for her, for Honey, for our family.Propose to her…Marry her…Move in with her…Build a family with her…Now, I have to tell her we have to wait a little longer. That is, if she still wants me.Slowly, I opened the car door and grabbed the cup of hot chocolate I picked up for her. The walk I was taking was slow. The cool September breeze was slow. The chirping sound made by a bird close by was slow. My heart rate was slow. Everything felt like it's in slow motion, even my hand reaching to turn the door handle.The house was eerily silent as I padded down the hallway upstairs careful not to make too much noise. Yoo-Mi's not in her room and Josh's door was closed, the muffled sounds of his snores seeping through the wood. I took a peek inside his room and his mouth was slightly opened from snoring, his arms wrapped around Honey, her fa
