MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 181
YOO-MI's POVWe need to talk.The words of Jeonghan echoed through my mind as an icy shiver trickled down my spine.He heard. Jeonghan heard the voicemail Josh left for me. The voicemail I never should have listened to.I deleted it. I deleted it so he wouldn't worry, wouldn't question me, wouldn't doubt what we have.Whatever was going on with me and Josh was over. For good.Jeonghan was standing in the doorway wearing a pair of light blue boxers, with two cups in hand, his face was fallen and frozen.I reached for my cup of chocolate from his hand and put it on the table. I swallowed nervously as I clutched the sheet to my chest. I felt my lower lip quivered, shook and trembled. Tears filled my eyes as we stared at each other for a long moment.I don't want to do this again. I don't want to feel like I have to prove myself. Prove that I love him more. That I'd choose him over and over again even if I had a million other choices.'It's not what you think," I said quietly.His eyes dr
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 182
YOO-MI's POVThe drive to Josh's house was long and quiet as I stared out the window, my chin resting on my palm. The dense pines passed by, deep green as golden sunlight filtered the pine needles, dancing across the ground.I don't want to do this. I don't want to tell Josh that I don't see the future with him that he sees with me. I don't want to tell him that he's too late. That we just never got our timing right. That even if Jeonghan leaves me again, my heart will leave with him. That I don't want to play games or hurt him.I already made my choice and that was Jeonghan and it was unfair of me to start something with Josh if my heart belonged to Jeonghan.'Jeonghan, watch out!" I screamed when a deer crossed the road and suddenly he stepped on the brake that caused my body to push forward. Thankfully, I got my seatbelt on.'Shit, babe. Are you okay? I'm sorry—' his hand reached up to touch my head.'I'm fine Jeonghan," I said as I leaned back on my seat, feeling a bit dizzy.'Our
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 183
YOO-MI's POVThere was a room full of eyes on us as Jeonghan looked down at his feet. I could see guilt and regret weighing down on him.'You get to be the asshole and coward who leaves," Josh continued. 'and I stayed here for Yoo-Mi, took care of her, loved her. And she's the only fucking I want but you took her away from me... Again!"Jeonghan clenched his fists, his jaw twitched, ready to attack Josh but I stopped him. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it, telling him to calm down. 'How about you, Josh?" he asked sternly. 'Weren't you the asshole here who hide everything? Didn't you keep to yourself everything you did to Yoo-Mi?"'Jeonghan....' I tried to stop him but he ignored me.'You made us believe that Honey was mine. Weren't you the coward here who was scared to tell us the truth? Huh, Josh!" he yelled. 'You have all the time to fucking tell us the truth! You ruined everything! You destroyed our relationship! You were telling us that you were the hero here when in fact, you're
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 184
JOSH's POVJeonghan was standing on the curb with his hands shoved into his pockets when I walked out of Yoo-Mi's house, my heart stuck in my throat. I brushed my face with my hands, swiping away at the few angry tears that slipped out during my confrontation with Yoo-Mi.Looking at him standing there makes my skin crawled, my blood boiled, my tears threatening to fall.He got her. He always got her. It doesn't matter that he left her. Doesn't matter that I love her. He always got her.'Let's talk over here." I said as I walked past him, heading across the parking lot to the edge of the pines.One showdown in front of Yoo-Mi's mother and Cheol and his girlfriend was more than enough for today. I don't want any physical fight with him anymore.Jeonghan followed quietly behind me, his footsteps lighter than mine.When I whipped around to face him, he doesn't bother stopping the verbal attack I immediately landed on him.'You're a fucking piece of shit!" I exploded. 'I have been angry wi
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 185
YOO-MI's POVI stared in the bathroom mirror, my eyes were swollen and puffy. The tip of my nose was bright red and there were pink splotches around my temples, splayed across my cheeks from the long cry I had in the stall. On the cold, hard floor.My hand dove into my purse, searching for something to cover up the agony and hurt and pain that was plastered all over my face.The pain of hurting Josh. Of hurting myself.‘Choose me, Yoo-Mi. Just this fucking once... choose me.'Those words nearly broke me into two. Those words made me want to tell him that I would choose him. That I would do anything to keep his heart from breaking.But, if I did that, I would just end up hurting him more than I already am.I always thought love was supposed to be simple. That falling in love was rainbows and butterflies and magic. But it was not. It was complicated and chaotic. No matter how many times you attempt it.I love Josh. Not the best friend who took care of me. I love who he was now. The fath
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 186
YOO-MI's POVMy heart began thumping as my eyes locked with mom. Her hazel eyes darted to Jeonghan. I watched as she rolled them dramatically. Anger, hostility, and revulsion flaring in the chocolate and coffee specks of her irises.'What are your plans, you two?" she started.Jeonghan cleared his throat. 'Firstly, I want to thank you for accepting me again—'Mom held her hand up to stop him. 'Don't mistake this talk as acceptance. I think history is just going to repeat itself where you two are concerned. I don't support whatever it is you two are doing."I felt my heart dropped all the way to my toes. 'Mom!'What?" she feigned innocence, her eyes widened.My blood felt like it's boiling as I balled my fists that was wrapped around Honey's body, who fell asleep on my lap. 'That's completely unfair and out of line."'I love you, Yoo-Mi," mom meekly stated. 'But I don't want to lose my daughter again."'You never lost me," I defended myself. I was never lost. I was just…hurting. Lonely
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 187
YOO-MI's POVI bit my lip while I mulled over whether or not it's a good idea to talk to Josh. We used to be best of friends. We're still, right? But I doubt we'll ever be friends like we were, but there's history and memories, a bond that's never been easily shaken. And Honey, connecting us.'Josh, can we talk?"His head lifted and he looked surprise to see me approaching him. 'About what?"'Are you okay?" I asked, his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at me expectantly.He laughed bitterly. 'You're unbelievable, Yoo-Mi." I took a step back, wounded. 'I lost my home, my life, and you. It's all gone and I'm rooming here, with you and your mom. I can't believe you have the fucking audacity to ask me if I'm alright. How the fuck do you think I'm doing?"I swallowed hard. He never talked to me like this before.'Don't worry, I'm leaving tomorrow." He continued.'No please…and I'm sorry. But I thought we're okay now?? You can stay here as long as you want. We're best friends, Josh."‘How a
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 188
YOO-MI's POVI couldn't sleep. My bed was lumpy and uncomfortable as I tossed and turned, trying to find a relaxing position. I snuggled closer to Honey, inhaling her sweet-smelled hair.Josh brought someone back tonight and it was loud and…hurtful. I grabbed my pillow and covered my ears, as my hands covered Honey's, so she wouldn't hear the creaking headboard and the moans leaving his closed guest bedroom door.I was just thankful mom's got out for work before Josh arrived. But I thought, he woudn't do this if he knew mom was just in the other room.I couldn't help to stop the tears that was swimming in my eyes. There were mostly angry tears. Why would he do this? That he would be so reckless and vindictive. Especially when all I was doing was trying to help. But I didn't know how much longer I'd be willing to. Not after last night.Deciding sleep was futile, I walked down silently to the kitchen and started to make hot chocolate. It's roar to life was a painful reminder that even t

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
