2024-10-29 19:42:56YOO-MI’s POV
“Mommy!” Honey greeted me with her arms spread wide open as soon as I entered inside her room in the hospital. She looked so weak, but still, a bright smile plastered on her lips when she saw me.I swiftly walked towards her and a tear escaped from my eye as I came closer to hug my daughter. Her body was getting paler and thinner. “Baby, how are you?”She pulled away and smiled as she looked up at me. “I’m fine now mommy, because you’re already here.”She then reached for a drawing book that was placed on top of the table and showed it to me. “Mommy, look at this, this is my drawing of you, is it look alike?I leaned over and took the sketch book from her, observing it attentively. I nodded my head. “It looks alike, baby.” I smiled looking at the sketch of my face on the paper. She loves to draw and soon became her hobby ever since she was admitted in and out of the hospitalRelated chapters
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 170
YOO-MI’s POVHow did it happen?When did it happen?Why did he hide it from me?Why did Josh keep it for a very long time?As I closed my eyes, those questions kept popping into my head, and I found it hard to breathe as my hand clutched the steering wheel.I felt like the pain I’ve been trying to bear was exploding out of my chest.How could you this to me Josh?As I parked my car in front of his mansion, I remembered mom’s last words. “Think about Honey. Please save our baby.”My sobs broke and as they’re getting worse, it’s even harder for me to move.Did Josh rape me? But I couldn’t remember anything happened like that.He wouldn’t dare to hurt me because he loves me. Or he loved me too much that he chose to keep it, for me not to get hurt. Tears streamed down my face unstoppable. I hate it that they just won’t stop from flowing.My heart hurt so bad thinking of how did he hide it from me for almost eight years. It’s like a striking pain hit my chest believing he wouldn’t hurt me,
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 171
YOO-MI's POV'You were the one who kissed me. I'm only a man Yoo-Mi, who loves you, adores you, admires you and waiting for you to love me back. I'm sorry Yoo-Mi, I'm so sorry."My hand covered my mouth as my eyes widened in shock. i had heard it from other people but to hear it from him just made me dizzy and make me want to puke every single food that I took in. My best friend, my very best friend who I trusted for a very long time did this to me."It was Jeonghan I was seeing when we did it." I whispered and he cried.Nothing could've prepared me for the devastating pain I felt when he told me everything, or for the anger that had my heart constricting, making me think that it was going to stop beating.There was an aching lump stuck in my throat, one that made it hard for me to even breathe. Not only that, but I also had to fight against my tear ducts, for I did not want to cry in front of him.But the tears that I've been trying to hold now fell one by one, rolling down my cheeks
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 172
JOSH's POVI watched her disappeared from my sight, from my living room, from my house.From my life.I didn't mean to hurt her. Didn't mean for her to see Lia. Didn't mean for her to think I was retaliating.It would be easier if I didn't know. Know that I couldn't compete with Jeonghan. I couldn't compete with how much she loved him. How much he loved her. She didn't care that we are getting married, building our own family, whatever the fuck it was. She slept with him again. How could I compete with that?She probably didn't think twice before jumping into bed with him. Didn't consider me. Didn't even think about us, about our family.She knew he's infertile, but still she slept with him, for what? For lust? When I was always here waiting for her to come back. Yes, I knew it, her mom told me that Jeonghan couldn't make a woman pregnant.I didn't know whether to feel relieved or more annoyed.I didn't want to go back and forth with her anymore. I'm ready to move on. The hole Jeongha
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 173
YOO-MI's POVMy eyes still swimming with tears when I pulled my phone out and scrolled through my contacts. My thumb hovers over his name.‘Let me have your phone." I remembered Jeonghan said.'Why?"'Yoo-Mi, just give me the phone."Reluctantly, I had handed it over to Jeonghan the night after he saved me from that psychopath.I watched him as he punched in his number, saved it under the contact information before his eyes lingered on the call log. The one that showed I had called his old number a few times over the past month, when I found out about Honey's condition. He didn't mention it as he handed me back my phone.'I put my new number in there," he cleared his throat. 'Call me if a psychopath blocks your way again," he smiled.At that time, I was lost in thought. Too lost in trying to figure out what I'm going to do.There was nothing left holding Jeonghan and I together. Only the past. And I decided I was tired of living there. Tired of being tied to that part of my life.Lia
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 174
YOO-MI's POVI'm four days late. My period hasn't come yet, and I wasn't freaking out because Jeonghan said he was infertile. Did he lie to me again?My period hasn't been late before. I've been under a ton of stress lately and I wasn't jumping to conclusions. I wasn't, at this point. I couldn't control what happens any more than I could control the weather.I haven't seen Josh in his office for a week already. I think he'd got some business meetings to attend to, and never once had he visited me in my office for the past weeks that I came back from my vacation leave. And if he'd come to visit Honey in the house, I would always pretend I was busy.Space.I need space right now. Everything else can wait.I finished up payroll for next week and opened Google to search for early pregnancy symptoms. I sifted through the results. Missed periods, breast tenderness, frequent urination, dizziness, nausea, intuition.I knew all of this because I had experienced this with Honey.But intuition?
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 175
YOO-MI's POV'He still took advantage of you. You're under the influence of drugs." Jeonghan told me as we settled ourselves inside his car. 'He could've stop you or left you."I told him everything that happened eight years ago and he couldn't believe it. He still wanted to sue Josh. 'I won't do it Jeonghan, for the sake of Honey. And he's my friend, still my best friend who took care of us when you left."'I know," he gulped nervously. 'I just wanted to do something nice for you."I wished he wouldn't say things like that. It made my heart ache, long yearn for him. I wish my head would tell my heart to chill out, get it together, stop reaching for him. It's exhausting.I buckled my seatbelt when he turned the ignition. I placed my purse on my lap and felt my heart started thumping wildly in my chest.Everything smelled like him, his cologne. My senses felt like they're in overdrive as I tried to breathe. Every breath tasted like him, taking me back to a different place, a different
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 176
YOO-MI's POVWe saw a pharmacy and decided to buy a test first and checked it on my own. The bathroom in Seoul Hospital was too bright. Jeonghan turned his back to me as I awkwardly straddled the toilet and slid the white stick between my legs.I hold my breath as I peed, pushed the stick back, tried not to splatter my hand.It's weird doing this with him three feet away. He told me he would wait outside the door, but fear icily crept in and I started to panic. What if he's not there when I opened the door? What if he ran again?I'm sure that made me sound irrational, but there's a part of me that needed him here. I didn't want to be alone when I found out.I pulled my jeans up, sit the stick on the edge of the white, porcelain sink and flushed the toilet. I washed my hands, set the timer on my phone for two minutes.Jeonghan didn't turn around until my hand reached for his.Dangerous Yoo-Mi. Touching him was too dangerous for you.I ignored my head and let my heart lead. I didn't kno
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 177
YOO-MI's POVI sat there and let out all the emotions I've been holding in for the past years. Emotions that have been building and collecting and piling up. Excitement, fear, stress, and sadness.But, most of all.Heartbreak.My heart was begging, longing, yearning to be with Jeonghan. And now that he's here with me, I couldn't be happier.Somehow, I managed to slow the tears and focused on the task at hand. Seeing my baby with Jeonghan for the very first time.When Dr. Alison walked into the room, she gave Jeonghan and I a big smile. Her dark brown hair was pulled into a ponytail at the top of her head and her bright scrubs made the otherwise dark room felt bright.Jeonghan attempted to leave me, to go back to his chair, but I wrapped my hand around his and silently asked him to be with me. He answered by lacing our fingers together as the doctor looked over my chart.'It says here that your last period was May 9th," Dr. Alison noted as she scanned my chart.'Yes, I nodded my head.

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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 210
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
