When Josh disappeared from my sight, I gave his credit card to mom and asked her to settle our bills on the counter for I will pack Honey’s things.When mom shut the door behind her, I walked towards the window and pulled out my phone, and quickly typed Sunset Boulevard, a place in Los Angeles where I would be staying.I took a glance at Honey from time to time while on my phone and I noticed that her eyes were flickering, getting heavy ready to sleep.I managed to get Josh’s booked details this morning when he was taking a shower. I shakily booked my own flight that was scheduled the next day.When I was about to put back his phone on the nightstand, I remembered Lia, but mentally set her aside and noted that I will talk to her when I returned back from LA. But the question is, will my relationship with Josh still be the same after I come back? I hope so. I hope he will still understand me as he always does.I searched foRelated chapters

YOO-MI’s POV“What are you doing here?” I repeated my question when Cheol ignored me.He politely bowed towards mom and gently placed his hand on Honey’s head giving her a faint smile. “How are you baby? Did you miss Uncle Cheol?”My daughter stared at him blankly, and to my surprise, Honey shook her head. “You’re my dad’s brother right?”I could see the hurt in Cheol’s face when Honey said she didn’t miss him. “Yes Honey, I’m—“ he cleared his throat before he continued. “Jeonghan’s brother.”But she criticized her violently. “Why did you not visit me and check on me and my mom when dad left us?”I didn’t expect him to ask something like that. I swiftly hugged her to stop her from saying any more. “Baby, that’s a matter between adults, you are still small, don’t think about it too much. It doesn’t lo

YOO-MI’s POV“What do you mean?” I asked Mr. Park as he waved his hand dismissing me, telling me to leave.After an exhausted 12-hour flight from Seoul to Los Angeles, I took a cab and went straight here in Sunset Boulevard, in the apartment that I booked back in Seoul only to be driven away by my supposed to be landlord, Mr. Park because he gave my apartment to someone else.“I’m sorry Miss Kim, I will just return your money.” He said making me drop my head in my hands and let out a cry.“I don’t know this place,” I choked. “I just came here to find the father of my daughter. She’s sick and I—we need him. I need to find him.”“I’m sorry.” That’s what all he said before giving me back my money and leaving.I felt alone and helpless as I slid my body down on the floor, leaning my head on the wall. What would I do now?After 20 minutes of just stayin
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 153
YOO-MI’s POVTears brimmed my vision as I stared at Jeonghan storming in our direction. I couldn’t believe that someone actually came to save me and of all people, it was Jeonghan. God is still good to me, he never let anything bad happen, and even sent the man I needed right now.The sick perverted psychopath abruptly let go of me, pushing me to the wall. He wasted no time to run off, leaving me here with mouth agape, shaking on the ground.“Don’t you dare asshole!” Jeonghan was ready to run after him but when he saw me, stopped dead in his track. He froze, and I could see that he was shocked when his eyes met mine. “Yoo-Mi?”My head pulsed with sharp pain, and I winced touching my forehead. Then I found blood on my palm. My forehead was apparently bleeding from the smack against the brick wall.“Yoo-Mi, is that you?” he rasped before his jaw tightened, and I could even see his eyes burning with rage bef
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 154
YOO-MI’s POVJeonghan guided me slowly inside his apartment, acting as if his touch would break me. my arms still wrapped around my shoulder, trying my best not to collapse.I watched him as he put down my luggage and walked his way to a room, his room. My eyes looked around and I found out that there’s only one room here, well, that was indicated in the ad before I booked myself in this place.Where do I stay?“You can stay in my room.” Jeonghan answered and my eyes grew bigger. Did I just say it aloud?“I… Can I clean myself up?” I asked, wanting to get rid of whatever was left from that bastard’s touch on my body. I can even take a bath 10 times if that could make it all go away. As for the clothes I’m wearing, I will just throw them in the trash.“Come here,” he said leading the way to his room as I followed suit. “Make yourself comfortable. I’ll just call the cops.&rdquo
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 155
YOO-MI’s POV“Yoo-Mi,” Jeonghan stayed with me on the floor hugging me tight for about 10 minutes or more. I hummed and he gave me small kisses on my head. “I’m sorry.”We stared at each other for a long minute. I let out a sad whimper, my body betraying the little strength I wished I had right now.His hand found my cheek and it felt like fire as it wiped the tears from my face. I tried to swallow, tried to breathe, tried to remind my heart to beat.I always hated it when his chocolate eyes came into focus, they were shining with unshed tears.Everything inside of me cracked wide open, like the earth when molten lava poured from its core, red, fierce and angry. I looked away, smacking his hands from my face.He tilted my chin looking back at him, and the moment his lips slammed into mine, my entire world burst into flames.He kissed me softly that made my senses reel as if short-circuited. Jeonghan kissed me dev
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 156
YOO-MI’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the sun has risen. It’s morning already. It felt surreal how I managed to sleep despite what happened yesterday. My heart rate was steady, and I felt calm. Much calmer than before. I didn’t have any bad dreams which was quite a relief.The bed beside me felt cold and I sat up. Jeonghan was gone. I got up from the bed and tottered outside the room. While I’m walking down the hallway, I found Jeonghan entering the foyer.He turned to me and the scene in front of me seemed so familiar, as I’ve imagined it before in my mind.Like it’s playing in slow motion. Sweat was all over his body, his thin white shirt clung perfectly onto his body, his hands were dirtied with oil. His hair was messy and I’m not complaining. I even want to run my fingers through it.“Good morning,” he greeted me and I froze on the spot, he caught me staring at him. That familiar smirk made me blush so
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 157
JOSH’s POVHoney snuggled closer, her small hands wrapped around my neck carrying her, as I walked to the cold park today. It’s too cold to play here so we’re heading to the mall to watch a movie this afternoon.The wind was fierce and frigid as it whipped past us. Honey cowered closer to me, hid her face in the crook of my neck. “Daddy Josh, it's making my face cold.”Because of her frail body, she’s now afraid of the cold, so she always wore a lot of thick layers, a thick fur jacket, knitted hat, scarf, and gloves.“Hold a little more baby, we’re close,” I told her as I walked the remaining fifty feet to the movie theatre.“Daddy, can you sing me a song?” she then whispered, her head lying weakly on my shoulder.I started to hum her favorite song, and started singing. I couldn’t stop a tear that slipped from my eye when I remembered my last conversation with Yoo-Mi before she left
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 158
JOSH’s POVWhy did you lie to me Yoo-Mi? I swiftly wiped the tears on my face with my right hand when I finished singing Honey’s favorite song.I was so surprised when she clapped her hands weakly and gave me a warm kiss on the cheek. “You’re always my favorite singer daddy.” She beamed and I laughed softly kissing her hair. But then she noticed my teary eyes and she cupped my cheeks gently. “I know you miss mommy. I miss her too.” She rasped wiping my tears with her thumb.And I burst out sobbing. My shoulders were shaking as I pulled Honey’s head on my shoulder caging her in a tight hug. I couldn’t take the pain I was feeling inside. The ache in my chest almost seemed to explode.“You really love mommy,” she said, her tiny hands caressing my back trying to calm me down from sobbing.These lies were slowly killing me and will surely make my loved one’s hate me once they learned about th

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
