"What did you just say?" My best friend Josh said, nearly spitting out the coffee while listening to my story.
We were sitting at the table in the cafeteria and we were having our morning break, me telling him everything that happened last night. He knew all along that Yoon Jeonghan was my handsome neighbor and he knew that I have been liking him since I transferred here."But I didn't let him kiss me, duh!" I rolled my eyes, telling him.Yes, I didn't let Jeonghan kiss me last night because I was so nervous and that made me regret it. I should have got my very first kiss last night and as a bonus, it was Jeonghan! Oh, I know I was stupid.Josh smiled, making his eyes disappear. "But you gave him your password which is HANNIE. As in his name!" he exclaimed.I gave him my password because I didn't want him to kiss me. I still remember how my face turned beetroot last night while giving him my password. Jeonghan was grinning the whole time and even after he got out of my room, he still had this breathtaking smile that made my heart melt and didn't let me sleep the remaining hours."Yeah, and I was thinking of changing it but what if he barged into my room again and he'll kiss me this time?" I said as I took a small sip of my coffee.Josh rolled his eyes. "Really Yoo-Mi? Isn't it that this was all you've ever wanted since the day you liked him?""Yes, he's just so perfect," I admitted and I sighed heavily, still thinking what would happen if he kissed me last night? And what would be the taste of those red lips of him.I was smiling wide when I saw from the corner of my eye that Jeonghan and his friends were walking towards our table. "Oh my god, they're coming!"I took a glance at him as they passed by our table and I saw the corner of his lips turn into a curve when he looked at me. I stopped breathing when my eyes met his. He's so beautiful. My face turned red as I hid my face covering it with my hair."Oh my god, Yoo-mi, did you see that? He smiled at you!" Josh was getting giddy beside me and I couldn't contain my happiness."Shut up Josh, he might hear us." I warned him because Jeonghan and his friends were just two tables away from us. I don't want him to know that we were talking about him.Seconds later, a girl just sat on his lap and gave him a sloppy kiss. Bitch! My heart clenched and I felt like I was going to cry. I felt jealous. I felt pain. That girl was no other than Brittany, the team's flirty cheerleader. "Oh great! That bitch just couldn't control her raging hormones." Josh rolled his eyes as he watched them kissing in front of many students inside the cafeteria.I couldn't take watching him kissing another girl so I harshly stood up. "Let's go, Josh!" I declared and pulled his hand as we headed our way out of the cafeteria. I hate him!.....I was reading my book inside my room when I heard a moan of a girl from my neighbor's window and when I looked up, my heart stopped beating when I saw Jeonghan kissing Brittany on the lips.Oh great! Just great! I knew it was so wrong to watch but my feet wouldn't move and my head was spiraling wildly. What the fuck am I watching?He then pinned Brittany on the window and Jeonghan was now facing me. My eyes got wider when he looked up and he smirked like he was teasing me while he kissed Brittany's neck.I felt panic as I walked backward until the back of my knees hit my bed. I let myself fall on my bed pulling the covers right up to my chin. Why he's so mean to me? I know he already knew that I liked him but why was he doing this to me?As I lay on my bed, I felt something burn and when I focused properly, I knew it was my heart that was burning. I wiped the tear that was escaped from my eyes and stood up, closing my window and shut the curtain without taking a single glance at my neighbor's window.Stomping my feet, I decided to change the password of my wifi to 'Asshole'. I got back to my bed with a wicked smile before I drifted off into a victorious sleep......I woke up in the middle of the night because my throat felt dry. I think I needed some water. I mentally noted that starting tomorrow, I will set a glass of water on my table before going to sleep.I slowly got up from the bed but I froze halfway when I saw someone's silhouette was clear through my curtains.I held my blanket tightly to my chest when Jeonghan suddenly jumped into my bedroom. He looked angry, very angry. I could see how his lips pressed together and his hands clenched."What do you want?" I swallowed hard.He didn't answer me. Instead, he sat on my bed pulling me closer as he crashed his lips onto mine. I was so shocked and my heart froze in place. Butterflies went crazy inside my stomach.He started to move his lips but I was still starstruck that I didn't even know what I was going to do. It just told me how inexperienced I am.I think I've already got the water I needed for my dry throat. He then pulled away and I looked at him. His eyes glint with amusement but not as much as the desire he's been showing to me."Now give me your new password!""You what?" This time around, Josh spat his coffee on the table. I reached for the tissue to wipe it but he held my hand and stopped me from wiping the wet liquid from the table. "Why did you change your password in the first place?" he asked curiously."Because I saw him kissing Brittany!" I exclaimed.Josh laughed at me. "But they always kiss here in school! You don't have the right to feel jealous, he's not yours!""I know! I know! Oh my! They're coming!" I pretended I was drinking my cola and when Jeonghan and his friends passed by our table, I looked up. I waited for him to take a glance at me like he used to do but he didn't. What was his problem this time?He kissed me last night and now he was acting like nothing happened? Like he didn't know me. Was he always like this to other girls? But he always kissed Brittany even though they're not a thing. The whole school knew that Brittany slept with almost half of the guys on the campus."
My breathing eased and soon panic attack was gone as Jeonghan laid down beside me and wrapped his arm around my waist. He pulled me closer to him and whispered soothing words to comfort me, gradually sipping the warmth into me. "You're safe now Yoo-mi. Sleep, I won't leave you alone." His words sent butterflies to my stomach. I closed my eyes feeling safe in his gentle embrace. Sleep got to me at that point to half-consciousness and half-unconsciousness, I spoke. "I miss you, Jeonghan." I whispered before I closed my eyes. I felt his warmness as he cuddled closer towards behind me. I felt a soft kiss behind my head and then a quiet whisper into my ear. "I miss you too, Yoo-mi." A tear fell from my eye, hearing this words. A sign of relief. It's unbelievable that being this close here with him could erase all of those horrible moments in the dark alley, even just for a while. And I hav
Jeonghan took my face in between his hands to deepen the kiss. "Open your mouth babe." I gave him access and the next thing I knew was that he shoved his tongue into my mouth and our lips moved in synchrony. Our breathings accelerated and I melted at his touch. His tongue teased mine and explored inside my mouth so slowly that it made me moan. Everything felt so good and sweet. I brushed my fingers on his hair and pulled him closer. I could feel him smirk against my lips. "You like this?" he asked but I was too breathless to speak. I just nodded my head and he smiled victoriously. He continued attacking my lips, slightly biting my bottom one, sending chills through my body.What he's doing to me was all new but I liked it. I continued kissing him and pulled his bottom lip with with my teeth, nipping it and he groaned and growled when I put my tongue inside his mouth but he pulled away.&nb
Jeonghan pulled me as he sat on top of my bed and I stumbled on his lap facing him. I felt my heart beating so fast inside my chest, blood rushing to every vein in my body. He touched my chin with his two fingers and I had no choice but to look at him straight in the eyes. Those intense and attractive eyes that melts my heart everytime he looks at me. And before I can even think of something to say, he locked his lips with mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back trying to mirror what he's doing. He put his hands on my back and nape. "Yoo-mi, I've been longing to do this." He pulled me into another kiss and I circled my arms around his neck. The kiss sent me all kinds of sparks through my body and I could no longer hold my moan. "Don't hold it babe. Moan for my name. I want you to moan for my name over and over again." And I moaned seductively. "Jeonghan please, I want more." I felt him smiling in our kis
YOO-MI's POV"Can you take me home now? I'm not feeling well." I looked away trying to hide the tears that were ready to fall down."Are you sure? You have to tell your boyfriend first.""He's not my boyfriend! I mean, there's no need to tell him. Let's just go Josh, please!" I pleaded as I pulled his hand heading our way to his car.When I arrived home, I removed my make-up and took a quick shower. I stepped out of the bathroom only to be shocked when I saw Jeonghan sitting on top of my bed. I held the towel that was covering my body tightly...... "What the fuck Yoo-Mi! What is wrong with you! Why did you just leave me like that?" I flinched as his voice booms inside my room."Really Jeonghan? You're asking me this after everything that you've done?" I shouted back at him. "What? What did I do?""Oh really"! You don't know what you did? Are you embarrassed of me or someth
I haven't seen Jeonghan this weekend. He told me they will teach kids with disabilities on how to play basketball down at the community center. I walked down the empty hallway to go to class when I spotted Hoshi running towards me. "Hey Yoo-Mi! Are you coming with us tonight?" "Tonight? Where?" I asked him as I continued walking. "There will be a party tonight at Minghao's house. We won again!" He cheerfully said. "Oh wait, Jeonghan didn't tell you?" "Nope, maybe he forgot?" I told him."Okay! See yah!" He said and tapped me on my shoulder before he ran out of my sight.When finally it was lunch time, I saw Josh in our usual table and I slumped my butt on the chair infront of him."Hey! Are you okay?" His voice was friendly and soothed some of my anxiety over Jeonghan."I haven't seen Jeonghan since Friday night and I saw Hoshi this morning. He said they'll be having a party at Minghao's house again toni
How did he do this to me? I should leave, I don’t belong here and I don’t want to cry in front of these people. I watched as Brittany put her hands over Jeonghan's neck but he moved it away.But then Jeonghan put his hand on her hip, squeezed it playfully and she giggled. I tried to move, to run, to do anything to get me out of here but my eyes were locked on the guy I’m in love with, while his eyes locked on her.“Yoo-Mi! I thought you cannot come?” Hoshi called me! Jeonghan’s head snapped up and his eyes met mine.I felt Josh on my back ready to attack Jeonghan but I stopped him. “Josh please, don’t!”“But-““For me Josh, please.” I said, pleading.I saw Jeonghan’s eyes went wide with shock and Brittany looked my way and leaned further onto him. His lips parted as if he was going to say something but he doesn’t.“Hoshi, I think I’ll
“Yoo-Mi…” Josh grabbed my hand and squeezed it lightly. I squeezed it back telling him I was okay. I rolled down the window a little and lean my head against the window.“Do you want to come back to my house or you’re going home?” Josh asked. I wanted to go home to curl into a ball on my bed but I am afraid that Jeonghan will show up.“Your house. I am so sorry for asking you to drive me all over Josh.” I told him.“You’re my best friend Yoo-Mi and I don’t want anything happened to you. And you know that you haven’t asked very much of me.” he said sternly. He was the best person ever and I felt so lucky to have him as my best friend.When we got to Josh’s house, it was 2am. I was exhausted and hungry. Josh put a pizza in the oven for us to eat. “Your dad hasn’t arrived yet?” I asked him while I grabbed a slice of pizza from the box.“He&rsqu
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
