“Yoo-Mi, wake up!” I felt someone gently shake my shoulder, waking me up and as I pried my eyes open, Lia’s face frowned looking at me.“What?” I asked.“You were moaning in your dreams bitch!”Shit, I was dreaming!“Am I?” I sat up and removed the blanket from me and looked around. “Where’s Josh?”“He went upstairs to check on Honey before going home. He said he misses your daughter.” she smiled. “You’re very lucky to have him Yoo-Mi,”“I know,” I said and smiled back as I made my way upstairs. When I opened Honey’s bedroom door, I saw her snuggled closer to Josh, her face buried in his chest. Josh’s arms wrapped around her small frame, his chin on top of her head looking so perfect as father and daughter. A smile crept up my lips while watching them.The poor plush was dropped on the ground and I beRelated chapters
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 120
YOO-MI’s POVI felt Honey lay between me and Josh and I instantly wrapped my arm around her body but she faced Josh, hugged him, and got back to sleep.Josh felt her and hugged my daughter, kissing her hair. He gave me a warm smile before closing his eyes again.Mom was making a pot of coffee when I walked into the kitchen, my eyes tired from the lack of sleep last night, thinking.I leaned on the counter with my elbows, rested my chin on my hands. “Good morning mom,”Her brown hair was pulled into a low bun at the nape of her neck. She’s wearing black slacks and a light blue blouse. She’s been at the hospital all night working.For the first time in my life, mom looked older than her age. The laugh lines were carved deeper into her creamy skin, her frown lines more prominent. She’s been through a lot lately, in work, with Honey and me.I’m just happy we’re still here living with her. she doesn’

YOO-MI’s POV“Hi,” Josh entered inside my office, straightening the business suit he wore, smiling widely at me.“Hey,” I looked up from typing something on my computer and leaned in to accept the kiss on my cheek. “What brought you here?“It’s almost lunchtime, we’re going out,” he answered. “I know a good place uptown, you love seafoods right?” he asked, sitting on top of my table and closing my laptop with his hand.“Hey, I’m not done yet!”“I’m the boss here, Yoo-Mi, you have to follow me.” he grinned and searched his pocket for his phone and dialed to reserve in The Kim’s-- a fine dining restaurant.I shook my head and smiled sheepishly as I put my things back in their proper places on top of my table while he watched me with an amused expression.“What?” I asked, standing up from my chair, stretching up my limbs.
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 122
YOO-MI’S POVI furrowed my brows and stepped into the open doorway. There was Josh sitting on the couch with one of the financial analysts, Yeji and they were having what seemed like a cozy conversation. She was talking and he was just staring at her, listening patiently.Well, how dare they flirted in my own office. If he wanted to flirt, he could just bring her inside his office and not mine.I thought I felt a little sting in my chest but I quickly shoved it down. No, since the employees here like to give me nicknames like Tigress Bitch or Bitchy Witch. Then I would show them as it is.I crossed my arm against my chest and cleared my throat loudly, leaning against the doorway. There were still a few employees working in their cubicles and I knew this would surely attract their attention.It was the norm. Whenever I walked to common areas, or I have something important to tell Josh and walked into his office, they always stop their conversations and
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 123
YOO-MI’s POVWe waited for the elevator to come, Josh's hand snaked around my waist from the side, I nearly jumped. He has never been showy to the public, and it’s bothering me. He’s making things weird.“Why? Can’t I hold you?” he questioned with a smirk and I shook my head.The elevator came and we stepped into it, his hand touched the small of my back and when I was almost ready to go straight to one corner, he held my waist and we stayed in the center.“Are you alright?” he leaned down, whispering into my ear, nuzzling it with his nose at the same time.“I’m fine,” I mumbled.The elevator stopped at a lower level and people entered, their eyes were suspicious.When we got to the ground floor, Josh led me by my waist to the main entrance. He was holding me, practically gluing me to his sides that I was starting to like.The first and basically the only thing that caught my at
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 124
YOO-MI’s POVI put down my utensils feeling even more confused when a band entered the room and started playing sweet music.I was overwhelmed and I don’t know how to react but my body acted naturally as I placed a hand in my mouth covering it.“Can I have this dance Yoo-Mi?” Josh offered his hand and I didn’t hesitate to take it.We made our way to the center and he pulled me closer with his arms around my waist and my arms around his neck. I laid my head on his shoulder as we swayed through the beat of the song.“You are so beautiful Yoo-Mi,” he whispered and I smiled not taking my face away from his chest listening to the beat of his heart.We enjoyed the music and sealed it with a kiss when it has ended. I was about to get back to my seat when he stopped me, holding my hand so tight.“I love you so much Yoo-Mi.” he rasped with his voice shaky. I opened my mouth to say it back but he cut me o
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 125
YOO-MI’ POVI realized I was all smiley after we returned to my office. We were an hour late but Josh didn’t mind at all as he always said, he’s the boss. He had planned for us to take the day off to spend our moment together, celebrating our engagement, but I insisted we should go back, for I have left many documents to sign up and to review, and submit it to him before the month ended.Josh kissed me goodbye before he made his way to his own office. and as time passed by, he invaded and took up space in my mind and it was a freaking disaster.I should be focusing on the work I had lying all over my desk, but instead, I was replaying every part of what he did to me, of how he proposed to me.I groaned out loud. I was behaving like an infatuated schoolgirl who just spent time with her crush. I couldn’t imagine if my staff walked in on me giggling to nothing. They’d probably think I completely lost.Shaking my head, I dived back
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 126
YOO-MI’s POVI felt Josh’s hands travel down me to grip my hips, pulling me tight against him, and my hands tangled into the thick waves of his brown hair, and his tongue slid across mine as he backed me roughly against the wall, pressing so close that I felt everything, felt the hard, lean muscle of his chest flushed against my soft breasts, felt his growing erection straining against my stomach, felt the demanding, powerful, consuming way he devoured my mouth, tugged at my lips, swallowed my moans and whispers.The gruff and low sounds from the back of his throat, so dark and masculine, rumbled through my skin and I could feel how wet I am, I felt a soft ache between my legs and the fire coursing through my veins.And then when we eventually pulled away, both panting, his nose brushed mine and our chests heaved against each other as our breaths creating a heavy hot mess between us.He rested his forehead against mine as his long and thick eyelashes
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 127
YOO-MI’s POVBefore we left the building, I headed to the lady’s room to see how the damage was done.As I look my reflection in the mirror, I could see my cheeks flushed. I pressed the back of my hand to my face and my skin was burning hot.My lips were swollen, my dress was skewed and my lipstick had been rubbed off.What did you do to me, Josh? I looked thoroughly disarranged, a total mess......“Where are we going?” I asked Josh as I buckled myself in the passenger’s seat. I don’t know why I craved to spend time with him and simply go wherever he wanted me to.Maybe I’m too afraid for him to leave me like what was happened two years ago, when someone left me without proper notice, without a proper goodbye.Maybe he noticed the fear in my eyes, so he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. “We’re going to The Club Syndrome.” He said, his eyes not taking off the ro

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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 214
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
