YOO-MI’S POV
I groaned as my alarm screamed at me indicating it was 6 am and time to get ready for work.I rolled out of bed and walked straight into the bathroom. I washed my hair and body and stepped out to dry my hair and face.
I blow-dried my hair before smoothing and tying it into a high ponytail and began with natural makeup that covered my slightly puffy eyes.
I wore a white chiffon blouse and I slipped on black slacks and tucked it in before sliding a belt around my waist.
I picked up my black blazer and black coat and slipped my black pumps on.
Before I headed downstairs, I checked on Honey in her room and she’s still sleeping. I just kissed her goodbye and made my way to the kitchen and sat down for breakfast where grandma pushed a plate of sausage and scrambled eggs in front of me.
“Good morning grandma.” I smiled gratefully at the sight of breakfast in front of me.
“
JEONGHAN’S POV Fuck I made her cry. I stared at her broken form as she glared at me, looking like I was the worst person to ever exist in this world. My whole body was shaking. And when she pushed me and ran away, I wanted to stopped her, to apologize for what I’ve done, but no. You deserved it Yoo-mi. You fucking deserved it for hurting me like hell. . . . . . YOO-MI'S POV I washed my face with cold water and when I looked up to see my face in front of the mirror, I could see that my cheeks were swollen and my eyes were puffy. I hated myself for being a cry baby. I should know that he will never stop throwing hurtful words at me but why? Hadn’t he moved on? He’s getting married for pete’s sake! I wiped my face with a clean cloth when I saw Lia entered inside the wash room. “Hey, a
YOO-MI’S POV Josh picked me up and Honey to visit his new house that he bought a month ago. “Uncle Josh I’m so excited!” Honey squealed as Josh carry her and put her down gently in the passenger’s seat and strapped her with the seatbelt. “I’ll teach you on how to swim, Honey.” He kissed her on the forehead and settled himself in the driver’s seat. “Are you okay, Yoo-Mi?” “Yeah, thank you.” I flashed him a genuine smile. He smiled back and focused himself in driving. Josh pulled up in front of a giant house that was just one pavilion away from being a mansion. Located on a great big lawn with a long driveway, I couldn’t believe that Josh lived here now. The view was breathtaking. We passed a basketball court, and we finally came into the lobby of the house, I couldn’t stop staring at it. The s
It was already past six when Josh drives us back in the house. I stepped out of the car and Josh lifted Honey who was exhausted and her head laid on Josh’s shoulder while carrying her inside the house. I followed them but then I abruptly stopped when I found a white audi r8 that was parked right in front of the house. Shit! There was Yoon Jeonghan sitting inside the living room like a king. His eyes glared at me murderously like he wanted to kill me on the spot. “Sir.” I looked at her apologetically. Josh turned on me and I nodded at him giving a sign to leave us alone. “Sir, I’m so sorry I forgot—“ “Let’s go!” he suddenly rose up and pulled me in the hand, dragging me outside. “Sir wait—“ “We don’t have time Miss Kim! I have to meet the client at 7!” “I’ll get the keys!” before he could pr
I pressed my lips against his and he kissed me back without reservation. I couldn’t explain how he did it, but the way he calmly let me have what I wanted, yet kissed me back with a slow dominance, as if we both knew who the real one in control here was. “Yoo-Mi,” he said in a firm tone. “If we keep doing this, I won’t be able to stop.” His jaw tightened. “Then don’t,” I whispered, my voice sounding like a plea. Tears started to form in my eyes and it startled him. It surprised me too, because I’ve never thought I would need him so bad like this. “Please hold me Jeonghan. Hold me please.” Cupping my face with a large hand, he didn’t resist when I pulled him backwards on the couch, crawling up on the couch with him hinged to my lips. Our bodies only separated once when I tugged his tie loose and unbuttoned the first half of his shirt. He pulled back and made every
When I got home, I took a long shower and let the steaming hot water washed Jeonghan off of me. “I love you babe.” I could still hear him say it before I drifted off in his arms. I could still feel him, on my skin and between my legs and in my head, and I don’t know what to do about it. And slowly, as the endorphins fade away, the panic sets in. He didn’t say anything, he didn’t promise me anything and it really breaks my heart. What would I expect anyway? After I tossed on a warm pair of pajamas, I laid down on my bed. I blushed, remembering spreading myself apart for Jeonghan, that sound he made when he looked at me with undisguised, untamed, predatory lust on his face, and then what came next, Oh my god! I closed my eyes trying to calm the warm feeling that rises in my chest when I think of him, holding me in his arms and kissing my whole body and mumbling against the top of my head that I was important to him.
I quickly wiped the tears away from my face and swallowed the lump in my throat, sitting on the chair behind my desk. After taking a satisfying sip of water in a cup positioned on my table, I grabbed my phone from the top of my table and plugged my earphone into its slot. My anger abated after listening to a couple of songs from my phone. “Yoo-Mi, are you alright?” Lia asked stepping into my office through the door I left open. “Yeah,” I mumbled and she let out a little laugh. She walked up to me and peered into my face making me feel uneasy. “You’re definitely not alright, I can see dried tears on your face.” She teased and sat on a chair facing me, her fingers drawing invisible lines on my table. "Lia," I was about to tell her everything when I was cut off by JB. “Hey girls, let’s take a break. You’ve been working so hard, your face is going to be permanen
“Prepare your things for a week.” That was Jeonghan’s last words before I exited out of his office. And Friday has come so fast so I placed my suitcase on top of my bed and started packing my things. I stuffed my clothes, toiletries, shoes and books laid all around it. I haven’t been on a trip, even on a holiday so I wasn’t sure what I should bring. I ended up picking out a few sundresses and some summery clothes and of course my business attires and packed it into the suitcase. Suddenly the door burst open and a sad Honey stepped inside my room. “Baby, what’s wrong?” “You’re leaving and I feel sad mommy.” I stopped packing and put down the shoes I was holding to meet my daughter with a hug and placed her on top of my bed as I kneeled in front of her. “It’s for my work baby.” “Can I go with you?” she asked, her eyes pleading. My he
The take off went smoothly and my eyes still closed as the cabin pressure increased the higher we went. It was definitely a feeling I had never experienced before. “You can open your eyes now.” I heard him, and when I did, I found his face so close to me, staring deeply in my eyes. I looked away and turned to look out the window, seeing our surroundings shrinked and become smaller as we went up. Moments later, the jet stabilized as we reached the flying zone. The flight attendant returned with our beverages, and I drank the bottle of water Jeonghan handed me before he pulled my hand, getting up from my seat. “Wait, where are we going?” “Let’s go to the lounge.” I shook my head, “No thanks, I’m fine here.” “You’ll get bored here Miss Kim.” The jet lounge was a lowered platform at the back with a leather sofa and a padded floor. A television was place
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
