I hurriedly hopped out from the bus and sped up to 17 GLOBAL and Industries at central avenue in Seoul, hoping not to be late. As I walked out of the elevator, I saw my fellow colleague Lia. She was rushing around looking busy.

“Good morning Lia!” I greeted her as I entered my own office.

 “Oh, great you’re here!” she exclaimed, looking worried.

 “Any problem?” I asked her.

 “Mr. Yoon has just arrived and he’s looking for you. He asked me to make him a coffee since you haven’t arrived yet but it seems like he doesn’t like it. He said he’ll just wait for you to arrive.”

  “Oh.. I’m glad he’s okay now.”

“Oh my god, no! It was his son that---“ Lia didn’t finish what she was saying when the door of Mr. Yoon’s office suddenly opened.

  “Miss Kim!” And I froze. “Get inside my office, now

    I walked inside the house and I saw mom watching television in the living room. Honey probably in school right now accompanied by grandma. “Hey mom!” I leaned over and kiss her on the cheek and sit beside her.“Yoo- mi? Aren’t you supposed to be working right now?” she asked.“Mom, I just quit from my job.”“What?”“I’m so sorry, I’ll just get another job or I’ll ask Josh to hire me in his company. He has been asking me to work with him and I think this is the right time.” I said as I walked to the kitchen to grab something to drink.“Wait, wait! I don’t understand. Why did you quit in the first place? I thought you love your work with Mr. Yoon?” mom said as she followed me.I poured an orange juice in the glass and drink before I speak. “Mr. Yoon has been in the hospital for 3 days now.

    I closed my mouth tightly when his tongue playfully teasing my lips. No way I’m gonna let this asshole kiss me. Never again! “I miss you babe.” He whispered huskily and he captured my lips. I moved my face away from him but he held it with his big hands. I was losing it.  He was so damn irresistible. His minty breath and lemony scent brought me back to the time that he used to climb on my window and jump inside my room.  I gasped when I felt his warm hand squeezed my ass and he took that opportunity to shove his tongue inside my mouth. I moaned involuntarily when he started touching my breast. Oh shit! I feel so hot, very very hot that I couldn’t control myself anymore.  I grabbed his neck pulling him closer and brushed my fingers through his hair. I’d been subconsciously dying to do it since we had met again for the first time 6 years ago. Throwing my inhibitions away, I responded to his hot kiss fervently.  He t

    As I entered 17 GLOBAL and Industries building, Jay greeted me and I gave him a warm smile. “ Good morning Miss Kim.”  “Hi Jay, Is Mr. Yoon already arrived?” I asked him. “He didn’t go home last night, and his fiancée arrived this morning.” He said making me stopped from entering the elevator. “Fiancee?” I turned around and asked him again to make sure that I heard him right. “Yes Miss Kim. She’s very sexy and—“ “Okay, okay! I got it. Thank you Jay.” I left him and hurriedly got to the already crowded elevator squeezing myself inside.   I walked to my table and was about to put down my bag when I heard someone moaning like a wounded animal. I stopped and listened to the sound and it was like coming from Jeonghan’s office.   I moved closer to his door’s office, putting my ear against the door, when it suddenly snapped open.   Shit! My gaze froze on a girl on top of Jeonghan eating his lips.

    I was walking my way to the bus stop when suddenly the rain poured down. Oh shit! I don’t have an umbrella with me. I looked down at my business suit and it’s getting soaked. The more I run, the worse it got.  The rain quickly turned a storm pulling everything in its powerful grip. Clashes of thunder appeared in the sky and I shuddered with fright.  The bus stop was still far and why can’t I find a cab? Oh please, I needed one.I was pulled out of thoughts when a black car pulled by the road and its tinted windows rolled down.  “Hop in Miss Kim!” I ignored Jeonghan and continued running not paying attention on him. I won’t going to step inside his car!  “Hey! You’re soaking already! Do you want to get sick?” he followed me with him driving slowly. “Get inside before I get out and drag you in!”  I turn around and run the opposite way but he’s faster than me. He o

He lifted her up from my body carrying her outside of the room while she flailed her arms and legs trying to get away from Jeonghan.  “Let me go Jeonghan! I’ll kill that bitch!” her eyes burning fire while she looks at me and Jeonghan dragged her away from the room leaving me an apologetic look.

We’re in her room, and I laid beside her and tucked her under the duvet.  “Have a good rest Honey.” Josh placed a kiss on Honey’s forehead and she gave him a warm hug, wrapping her arms around his neck.  “Thank you so much Uncle Josh. Goodnight mommy, happy birthday!” Honey smiled at me and I leaned closer and kissed her cheek.  “Goodnight baby, I love you.” I brushed my fingers through her hair one last time before stepping away from the bed.  When Josh and I reached the door, I turned off the light. We stepped out of Honey’s bedroom and I closed the door with a soft thud.  “Josh, thank you so much for being here always.” I told him as we entered my bedroom.  “Of course Yoo-Mi, you’re my very best friend and I’ll do anything to make you happy.” He pulled me close

    JEONGHAN’S POV  I picked up the lamp and smashed it against the table, sending millions of shards plummeting to the ground.  I stared at the destruction I made, completely out of breath. Beads of sweat clung unto the sides of my face and my t-shirt was drenched.  Blowing out a shaky breath, I slowly slumped unto the chair, my face red from fury.  I’ve never been this angry before.  Well…  There was that time when I saw the picture of Yoo-Mi and Josh kissing. And when I found out I was arranged to get married with Brittany.  And now that Yoo-Mi has a child.  Fuck it!  I clenched my fists tightly.  I exited my room and made my way into my mini bar. I need a drink.  I picked up the bottle of vodka and poured the liquid on my glass. I quickly down it and I squeezed my eyes shut from the sudden burning liquid in my throat.  I groaned trying to erase the t

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.

    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."

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

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
