MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 198
JEONGHAN's POVIt was Senior year of high school and I was leaning against my locker after school, watching Joshua Hong flirted with Yoo-Mi. They said they were best of friends, but the way he looked at her? I don't think so.Yoo-Mi innocently slipped a strand of brown hair behind her ear as he stepped closer. She tightened her grip on the textbooks in her arms and gazed up at him smiling. My fists clenched at my sides.Josh said something funny and Yoo-Mi threw her head back laughing. It hurt more than it should have. That he could make her laugh, could flirt with her, stood close to her without a care in the world while I just satisfied myself from looking at her through my window, from afar.But I smirked when I remembered her wifi password. It was my name.'You're drooling." I heard someone talked.I glanced to my right and saw Cheol watching them, too.'You know I'm not." I rolled my eyes.'Might as well be," he smirked. 'Every time you lay eyes on her, you salivate like a dog lo

JEONGHAN's POVMrs. Kim looked me straight in the eye, the same look her daughter gave me in the high school hallway, a decade ago. There was a flash of emotions I couldn't quite make out before she finally took my hand and climbed out of my car, lips pursed.'There's a ring that Yoo-Mi loved. Please buy that for her." Mrs. Kim said and I smiled, nodding.'Of course."My breath getting caught in my lungs when she showed me the ring she chose for her.'It's beautiful." I beamed, eyes widened as I inspected the ring. A princess cut diamond on a white gold band, tiny diamonds embedded on either side. It was so perfect for Yoo-Mi.'Years ago," Mrs. Kim chuckled. 'Yoo-Mi and I were helping my nephew chose a ring for his fiancée and she stared at this one for a minute longer than all the others. I don't know why, but the look of this ring never left my mind." She smiled.I twirled it between my fingers, watched as the light caught the cut and it sparkled. 'I'll take it." I said, placing it
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 200
JOSH's POVI had no clue why I was so hung up over a woman I had a one-night stand with. It was so ridiculous. I couldn't help but shook my head. I was acting so juvenile I'd be mocked at, if I were to tell JK and Seokmin about it. They would likely laugh at me if I ask them to help me look for a woman I met at a bar.With no plan in my mind, I decided to retreat and brainstorm. Maybe I could go back to Club Syndrome again because the last time I went there, I met a stranger named Jackson Wang, and forgot about finding that woman, my woman. Yes, I am claiming her as mine.But Club Syndrome only opened on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. And today was Thursday. I would have to wait until tomorrow to try my luck and what if she doesn't come? I have no such patience. If only there's a CCTV camera here in Yoo-Mi's house. It would be easy for me to find her. I would only give her photo to the private investigators and boom! I know they will surely find her.I wasn't going to just stand ba
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 201
YOO-MI's POVI felt Jeonghan slid into bed behind me. It was gentle and sweet. How his body enveloped mine. The way his arm settled on my waist, on my baby bump. The sigh of relief that left his mouth as he held me. Just for a few quiet moments before his lips found my ear.'Babe," he whispered. 'We have to leave in an hour."His voice reverberated through my body, making me smile, my eyes still closed. Tomorrow, Mr. Yoon will be getting married to Karen and there will be a little party to be held tonight in his father's mansion. 'But I'm still sleepy."'It's three in the afternoon." His breath tickled my ear and I leaned back into him.'I laid down about an hour ago." I groggily explained. 'Couldn't keep my eyes open."My hand found his and our fingers interlaced and interlocked as my body relaxed in his embrace.He kissed my cheek before pulling me closer. 'Are you okay, babe?"I nodded. 'Yeah, just tired. I worked pretty late last night." I replied. And waited for Josh to go home.
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 202
I was staring at a flute of champagne in front of me on the table when suddenly Josh appeared at my side. He grabbed the champagne and downed it in a single gulp.'Hey! What happened to you? Where's Honey?" I asked, my eyes widened while looking at him. He looked worried, disturbed.'Honey's with your mom. I have a problem." He whispered loud enough for the room to hear.'What is it?"'I bought Club Syndrome yesterday."'You did what?" I gaped at him with wider eyes, shocked at his abrupt revelation.'I know, I know. Don't start a grand speech crap on me Yoo-Mi. I'm inlove, that's why." He rolled his eyes, crossing his legs as he laid back on the chair with another flute of champagne in hand.'No, no, no. You're telling me you own a club now?" I guffawed about it. I couldn't believe he bought a club because he's in love? What the hell was he talking about?'Yeah." he answered. 'And it's a big problem because I haven't told dad about this. I don't know how to manage that club and the c
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 203
YOO-MI's POVI laid my head on Jeonghan's shoulder, deeply sighed on his neck.'Are you feeling alright?" he asked me as I closed my eyes and leaned onto him.'Yeah." I nodded my head, then looked up at him. 'Do you know that Josh bought a club?"'What?"'He bought a club because he's in love! What kind of reasoning is that?" I frowned as I peered around at all the other dancing couples. My eyes landed on Josh. Honey's feet were on top of his and they're moving around the dance floor in big circles, Honey's hazelnut eyes twinkling like the stars above us. She kept throwing her head back laughing, the sound carrying over the tempo of the music.'He really loves that little girl." Jeonghan said quietly in my ear.'I know. Josh never did that to me." I whispered.'You're jealous of Honey?"I didn't move from leaning on his chest, still watching Josh and Honey. 'No. Josh didn't buy a million worth of property for me. It means, he didn't really love me."'Now you're jealous with that girl.
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 204
YOO-MI's POV'The baby's fine. You're both fine." Dr. Alison said after Jeonghan took me to the hospital and he used my phone to call her for an emergency.I was currently lying on the hospital bed, a white blanket draped over my body as she checked up on my baby and me. I was trembling, nervous, worried that I might lose my baby. And the chance to save Honey.'Thank you, Dr. Alison." Jeonghan said. She smiled and squeezed my hand before she walked out of the room, leaving me alone with Jeonghan.When I was with him, I felt safe, comfortable and happy. It always had. But now, I only felt one thing.I was furious. I was furious when the officers arrived after we had been followed. I was furious when they walked inside the room and placed pictures of me topless, having sex with Jeonghan, on the table inside the room, labelled evidence. Furious when Jeonghan told me the same person who followed us tonight had burnt down Josh's house almost five months ago. Furious that he had hid this fr
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 205
YOO-MI's POV'I can open my own door," I told Jeonghan the moment he tried to reach around me and grabbed the handle of the car door.It was six in the evening and I was discharged from the hospital. Mom and Honey rode with Josh in his car and they left ten minutes earlier.'Yoo-Mi…" he said as he took a wounded step back when I yanked the door open and hopped inside. I angrily buckled my seatbelt and crossed my arms over my chest.The drive was uncomfortable and silent. As endless array of emotions swirled between us. Anger, betrayal, confusion and disappointment.I was hurt for him lying to me. How could he do this? I asked him not to lie again, but he did. I just—I was tired of him always thinking the best way to protect me was to stand in front of me, keep me in the dark. I was on my own for years. I handled things just fine without him. I knew he'll do whatever he could to keep me safe, but I'd rather stand beside him and deal with things head on, together than him doing it alone

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
