YOO-MI’s POV

When 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

    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

    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

As I exited the bedroom, my feet found the kitchen and there was Yoon Jeonghan sitting at the table, his hands were on his face.He glanced up a second later, his eyes instantly locking onto mine. The smell of coffee and bread hit me and made my mouth water. I was in dire need of some coffee and breakfast.He quickly stood up and pulled a chair for me. Once I sat down, I noticed there already were two coffee cups at the table.“I’m sorry, I don’t have a chocolate with me.” he took a seat next to me, his chair perfectly close yet far enough away it didn’t feel crowded.I don’t like chocolate anymore Jeonghan.“It’s alright.” I eagerly grabbed the cup and brought it to my lips.

How dare you decline your own daughter just like that!” I screamed, the tears just can’t stop falling down my face. I gritted my teeth and clenched my hands so tightly while looking at him murderously. “And to tell me that you’re infertile is too much! This is too much Jeonghan!”“Yoo-Mi, please listen to me—““Damn you! You are Honey’s father! Why can’t you just accept it!”“Yoo-Mi—“ he tried to hold me but I stepped back. “This is painful for me too, but I’m not her father. Listen--”I shook my head slowly. “No! No! No! I will not listen to you! I will never listen to you!” I screamed as I slumped on the floor sobbing. I clenched my fist so hard that my nails dug my palms painfully.“Yoo-Mi, I am telling the

I heard him rummaging around in the closet as the sun sets over the mountains. The night has fallen.I felt his fingers graze my skin as he removed the towel on my body. He put on his shirt on me, something with long sleeves covered my body as I laid back down. It smelled like him. Just like him. He pulled out the towel and threw it in the basket together with his dirty clothes.My hands reached for him as soon as I felt his side of the bed dipped. He’s warm, feverish. I could feel the weight on his shoulders as I scooted closer. I wanted to be closer to him, right next to him.The moment my head found his chest, it felt like every broken piece of my heart was instantly healed.“We need to talk,” I exhaled as his hand rubbed the back of my head.

I couldn’t believe this was happening.The first man that I loved, my first kiss, my first heartbreak, my first in everything was setting me free.“Why?” my voice broke. I shouldn’t be asking him but I want to know.“Why?” Jeonghan repeated. His voice was shaky and trembling. “Why not Yoo-Mi? You’re happy now with Josh. You’re happy without me, you can live without me and I am too. I had lived without you. You don’t need someone like me who’s coward, useless, and mentally unstable.”“You had lived without me, but were you happy?”“It doesn’t matter if I was happy or not. I’m alive, see? Without you.”It’s different now that he was saying goodbye in front of me. it’s different and it means more and hurts more, it hurts like hell.“I

I closed the remaining space between us and kissed his lips. They still tasted like him. Minty, dark, and dangerous.This is dangerous. Too dangerous for my heart. We should stop.But I don’t want to.His arms wrapped around my waist and he walked me backward until my calves hit the bed and I fell back, floating through the air, finally landing somewhere warm and soft. I think I’ve been falling for a long time.I felt his hands wrapped around my knees as he spread me wide open. I felt another tear escape as he settled between my legs, kissed each hip bone, my inner thighs, my lower stomach before his breath fell on my center, my core, the place only he’s ever been.I shuddered, shivered, felt my body sing for him as the wiry hair of his beard tickled my skin.

He was smiling as he stared up at the ceiling.My hand drifted across the cool, stiff comforter in search of his skin. The moment my fingertips connected with his arm, a prickling sensation overtook my entire body. I rolled onto my side and gazed at him.Jeonghan looked at me, the smile still plastered all over his handsome face. He’s really the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, even with dark circles around his eyes.“I’ve missed doing that with you,” he said.I knew I should feel hurt that he didn’t say he missed me. Maybe it’s because I felt the same way. Knowing that no one will ever make me feel the way he does.My hand found the rise and fall of his chest, his abdomen, his hips.It’s been a long time since I’ve felt him.

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.

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.

    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

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

    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

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

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,

    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

    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
