Since I decided to marry her.” Josh seethed, letting go of JK’s poor shirt which was now wrinkled. He shot him another stern glare before sitting in the space between JK and I, his arm returned to my waist. “Are you okay?” he asked brushing his knuckles on my cheek as I nodded.“Hold up.” JK sat back down, wide-eyed. Seokmin scooted closer too. “This is her? This the Yoo-Mi you were talking about?”I didn’t know that Josh talked to his friends about me. Feeling a little embarrassed to be the center of the subject, I pressed further myself into Josh’s side.“Yes,” he said firmly, turning to kiss me on my lips. I gladly reciprocated despite the strong liquor taste in his mouth. This kiss was territorial, meant to put on a show to prove his point. That I was his.“Well, damn.” JK released a breath. “You never said you’re going to bring your fianc&eRelated chapters

YOO-MI’S POVI jolted awake, noticing that the sky was still dark. I couldn’t remember when but somehow we fell asleep. I wasn’t sure why I even woke up until I felt something poking behind my ass. I was wearing one of Josh’s big shirts and the hem lifted up, my bareback felt that thing touching me.My face turned red as a tomato when I realized it was Josh’s erection grinding against me in his sleep. Is he even aware of what he's doing in his sleep? He had me in a tight embrace, spooning me from behind.I flipped around to face him, trailing a finger down his jaw. It must have tickled him because he reached up to scratch the same spot. And I smiled teasing him again. He slightly opened his eyes and pulled me closer, kissing my temple, and closed his eyes again getting back to sleep.Nothing happened last night, and I was glad he kept his promises to wait until our wedding night. He just wanted to sleep with me, cuddle with me and wr
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 133
YOO-MI’s POVI sucked in a deep breath. I had no speech in mind. I was supposed to come up with something but my mind was blank. I had nothing. I started to wonder how my morning would’ve been if I didn’t come across his phone. I would probably have snuck back into his arms, teasing him, cuddling, and kissing each other.“Oh thank god,” I heard footsteps from behind me. Josh walked up to where I sat at the window and wrapped his arm around my waist. “You don’t know how scared I was to wake up and find you not in bed anymore.” He sighed, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck.I bit my lip. What now? I was still staring out the glass and was glancing around desperately, hoping to see a sign down there.When I didn’t respond, Josh turned me around by my shoulders to face him. I finally saw him, his hair was slightly disheveled from sleep. He had a pair of boxer briefs on, shielding his nakedness from me, hi

YOO-MI’s POV“What’s the most important thing to you?” I managed to choke out.Josh came to sit next to me concernedly. “Baby, I know something’s wrong. What is it?”But I couldn’t stay seated beside him, so closely with our knees touching, so I jumped up and moved to a corner.“Tell me Josh, do you really love me?” I asked again.“Of course, how can you even ask me that?” he ducked his head near my ear, his voice raw and husky as he spoke. “What else do you want for me to prove it to you?”I breathed.“Let me show you that I love you, that I care for you.” he moved closer. “Let me take care of you baby.” He spoke in a tantalizingly slow manner, stroking my jawbone with his index finger, his lips a fraction away from mine.I ignored the urge to close the gap, choosing rather to concentrate on the words that were running in my mind.
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 135
JOSH’s POVEIGHT YEARS AGOEight fucking years ago was the most regretful day of my life.Final exams were scheduled for next week. Yoo-Mi and I had been sleepless and cranky every night as we crammed together in our regular study sessions.My eyes fixated on Yoo-Mi, sitting behind my study table, concentrated on studying Trigonometry. Her pouty red lips moved so sensuously and her presence in my room was suffocating me, like I wanted to kiss her right here, right now.But I can’t do that. She had her full trust on me, she treated me as her best friend and she has a boyfriend, well fuck! A fucking ex-boyfriend who left her, who hurt her and made her cry repeatedly.I don’t understand how a beautiful girl like her needed to be hurt by some asshole, Yoon Jeonghan, the guy that I despised with every nerve fibre in my being, the immature, playboy narcissist who just cared about himself and every other person is a pawn in her life. The guy
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 136
Eight years agoYOO-MI’s POVI rushed down the hall feeling really out of it. Something’s wrong with me, maybe I was allergic to alcohol? I looked around for Josh but he’s missing. Where did he go?I’m itchy and my skin was on fire and I felt like I can’t even keep my body up.Just as I was about to open the bathroom, arms grabbed me around my waist. I tried to scream but a hand clutched my mouth stopping me from creating any sound. I tried to fight back but I couldn’t bring myself to move or lift up my arms.My body felt weightless and my mind was fuzzy like I couldn’t think straight, something’s really wrong with me.I felt the arms lift me up and drag me somewhere. My mind was telling me to get the hell out of here but my body couldn’t seem to move, everything was numb, everything was woozy but I could clearly see that I was in a bedroom.The door shut closed and I was turned to face the pe
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 137
Eight years agoJOSH’s POVI ran my way towards the bathroom when I heard a banging noise and a girl’s voice yelling for some help. I followed the noise and turned, finding the door and trying to open it but it was locked. I kicked the door open giving all my strength and there I saw Mark on top of Yoo-Mi who was struggling from his hold.“What the fuck?” I yelled and wasted no time as I kicked hard on Mark’s face. I saw Yoo-Mi’s head lifted and her eyes locked on mine. My jaw immediately clenched and my insides twisted with rage when I saw the blood on her lips.My eyes traveled down and saw her tank top ripped and a feeling I can only describe as fucking murder crossed me.I turned to Mark and lunged him, grabbing his collar as I punched him repeatedly, throwing all the rage and anger inside me, punching him over and over until he was unconscious. This prick needs to get what he deserved.I heard a whimper across
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 138
JOSH’s POVI heaved a heavy sigh as I remembered the past.The blinds were still closed as my eyes fluttered open, tears gathered in their corners. There wasn’t a sliver of sunlight beaming across the room. it must be overcast today. Dark, grey clouds, biting cool breeze, maybe a dusting of snow.I felt her arm before I remembered she’s sleeping beside me. My heart sank in my chest.Yoo-Mi.Slowly, I turned over to look at her. Beautiful face, her brown hair messy, but that didn’t lessen her angelic beauty. Her mouth slightly open, her lips were red, her arm holding onto me, her shallow breaths were soothing and sobering.I pulled the blanket over her and covered her almost naked body, placing a long kiss on top of her head before going inside the bathroom.The water was warm cascading on my back, my hands on the cold tiles. My eyes were closed and my head bowed down.It took only a moment but I realized the water w
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 139
YOO-MI’s POVSomething’s wrong.I knew something was wrong with Josh and I couldn’t figure it out, but the way I felt how my chest rose, that I hadn’t experienced in a few years, made me scared.I’d never thought I’d love again, not after Jeonghan. I wasn’t even entirely certain if I would love another man like the way I love him, but I did, with Josh. He made me happy, incredibly happy. I could honestly just have him next to me, doing nothing and I’d be contented.But last night, I wanted to make him happy, I mean happier than he was with me before. I was willing to give him what we both wanted and needed last night but I was so shocked when he suddenly stopped. I was a bit disappointed but I didn’t show it to him. We just lay in silence, neither of us saying anything. But then he came closer and gathered me in his arms, whispered I’m sorry and I love you.I closed my eyes and leaned my head on his chest, bathed in the warmth of him, and whispered I love you too. Trying to understand

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
