YOO-MI's POV
I was relieved, very very relieved like a thorn had been pulled out from my chest. And I was now the happiest woman in the world thinking that finally, I’ll be starting to build my own family with Jeonghan, my great great love.
“There’s a new restaurant in Malé , you wanna check it out?” Jeonghan suggested. "We can stroll and buy something for Honey afterwards.”
“Sure! I’m already a bit hungry. Wait, I’ll change my clothes first.” I stepped down on the floor ready to leave, but Jeonghan stopped me.
“No need babe, you’re beautiful no matter what you are wearing.” He gave me that very cute smile that made my heart leaps with joy.
“Okay.” I nodded and smiled back at him. He made all my insides turned into melted marshmallows as he looked at me fascinated and with admiration.
.....We had our lunch in Lemongrass FifOur last night in Maldives was spent swimming on the rooftop of our suite. Opening the door to the rooftop swimming pool, Jeonghan clicked on the lights and I smiled when I found the large pool waiting for us. Jeonghan rented the pool for both of us to use in private.The blue water reminded me of a tropical beach and without any further incentive, I walked straight towards it. Slipping off my robe, I stepped into the water and gasped lightly at the coldness.I was wearing a skimpy black bikini, one of Jeonghan's choices when we went out shopping this afternoon. Even with a heated pool, I still needed a moment to adjust to the temperature before going all the way in.I walked down the broad steps under the water until I could no longer reach the ground."Careful babe." I heard Jeonghan say as he placed down the champagne and two glasses he was holding on top of the glass table.Taking the first stroke, I swam towards the other end, keeping my head
As soon as we got out of the airport, I called Grandma to ask where Honey was and she said she took her to school and she just went home to prepare for lunch.Jeonghan took my hand in his after we got out of the car, heading towards the building of Honey’s school. I couldn’t wait to see her again and I was too excited that my hands were shaking while Jeonghan held them tight.I could feel that he was more nervous than I was. “She’s supposed to have an English class right now," I said as we headed to the first-grade classrooms.Jeonghan squeezed my hand in appreciation, a small smile tugging at his lips. He said I was such an attentive mother, and he’s grateful that I had been a great single parent while he was away.When we reached her classroom, the English class caught our attention right away because it’s filled with more people. I noticed that the students were having a speech lesson and had invited the parents.
JEONGHAN'S POVWe walked out of the school building with Honey between Yoo-Mi and I, holding both of her hands. I've never been so happy and contented. Now that my family was complete, I will do everything to keep them, love them and cherish them for the rest of my life.I told Yoo-Mi to just wait for me at the entrance of the school building and I'll take the car. I quickly crossed the empty road and walked towards the parking lot. As I climbed inside the car, my head turned on Yoo-Mi and Honey.I watched them as Yoo-Mi bent down and a lock of her brown hair fell forward. She was talking to my Honey, my sweet Honey. I smiled when my eyes glanced at her tiny fingers curled trustingly around Yoo-Mi's hand, smiling while listening attentively to her mother.It was then that I realized how lucky I was to have these two sweet and gorgeous girls in my life.There was a strong gust of wind and it whipped their hair, so alike that my heart fluttered. They
JEONGHAN'S POV "Uncle Josh!"Honey screeched before trying to wiggle out of my hold and ran into him. "Honey," he smiled, opening his arms wide to meet my daughter with a tight embrace before he lifted her up in the air, spinning her around. Honey screamed in happiness making our hearts melt with her laughter. Josh put her down and handed her a big teddy bear with a pink bow around its neck. Honey automatically nestled into him and buried her face in the crook of his neck. I felt a sharp pain in my chest watching them. I clenched my jaw. I hated the fact that not only he had captured my girl's heart, but also my own daughter. And that was before I even knew that she was my daughter. After learning that Mr. Philip Hong was his father, I've done my research about Joshua Hong and I found out that he was the founder and owner of Rocket company. A prestigious one who was known for taking a small construction company and turning
YOO-MI's POV"Jeonghan, what was that?" I asked him as soon as he closed the door of my bedroom. My voice wasn't loud but with firm. I was worried, people downstairs might hear me nagging. I watched him as he brushed her fingers through his hair before he took a seat on my bed." I'm sorry babe, but I don't like the way he was looking at you." "My god Jeonghan, he's my best friend!" I sighed as I leaned my back on the wall. "How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to feel jealous." "I can't help it! Grandma and your mom like him. They didn't approach me the way they approached him. And Honey never laughs like that with me. Tell me babe, how could you expect me to act normally when all I think was that what am I going to do, so that your family will treat me the way they treated him." he said, having no idea how those words stabbed my heart. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he sobbed in his hands and my heart broke even more thinking
I watched Jeonghan's back as he followed Josh in the garden. They need to talk or at least clear everything, clear every misunderstanding they have. I sat on the couch, leaned my back and closed my eyes. Now that everything with Jeonghan and I was settled, we have to plan for our future. If he's planning to move us in his mansion, then I have to stop working for him. I have to focus myself on taking care of Honey. And the wedding. After all the things we'd been through, we're finally getting married. I smiled at the thought of me walking down the aisle while he's waiting for me at the altar. "What are you thinking babe?" My thoughts broke off when Jeonghan sat beside me, brushing a loose tendril of my hair, tucking it in at the back of my ear. "You're done talking to Josh?" I answered with red cheeks. He leaned back on the couch and sighed with relief. "Yeah," he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "You're lucky to have him as your best friend babe. I
YOO-MI's POVJeonghan let out a loud growl as lunged into the air. His hands yanked the stranger's hoodie away as I heard a tearing sound and I caught a glimpse of a big scar on his face.It all happened very quick and there was no slowing of time.Jeonghan could have outrun this man or downed him with a single punch to the jaw but his opponent has a knife and Jeonghan haven't.The blade sliced through the air and there was a mix of sounds like a strangle muffle, the sharp rippling of fabric as the knife pierced Jeonghan's coat, the jagged edge plunged in deep his stomach.Jeonghan's hand went to his belly, lots of blood poured out and it was stained on his coat.And before he could throw a punch at the stranger, he pushed him hard making Jeonghan fall on the ground, his head smashed on a huge rock. He squeezed his eyes shut, my heart screamed as I watched him collapse and my eyes widened at the sight of blood pouring out from his head while he lied u
YOO-MI's POVI had lost counting of how many minutes, hours, and days passed while I was here in the hospital. Night had turned into day and vice versa. Jeonghan still hasn't woken up and the longer time passed by, the more it tortured me.I walked down the hall towards the room where they treated him and halted in front of the door when I saw his mom standing beside the bed gently, stroking his hair while crying softly.That sight shattered my heart all over again. She walked towards the door startling me. I still couldn't brace myself to speak to her. Once she stepped out of the room, she found me and I gulped feeling her stare.And that glare burning fire again, I stepped back as I tore my gaze away, and then she walked off leaving me. I looked down at the floor for a while before something inside me finally snapped. "Wait," I called her.When she turned around, tears were already streaming down my cheeks. "I'm sorry." I cried."Your sorry has noth
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
