YOO-MI's POV
I 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 nothYOO-MI'S POVWhen Jeonghan closed his eyes again, I hurriedly went home and told mom and grandma the good news. Honey doesn't know about her father's condition yet. I was planning to tell her everything when Jeonghan was totally healed.I took a shower and freshened up myself. I know Jeonghan will wake up any time soon. I have to look beautiful in his eyes.I was so happy, so excited to see him again, to talk to him, hug him, kiss him. I bought a bouquet of flowers after I left the house. The nurse called me earlier and updated me on Jeonghan's progress.The moment I entered the room, I saw Jeonghan sitting on the bed and looking at me. He's awake. His face looked so pale and I want to burst into tears again when I saw his bandage around his head."Jeonghan,"I was so surprised when he got out of bed and ran towards me. I gasped and the bouquet of flowers I was holding loosened from my hand and fell on the floor.Then he captured my lips. I was so
YOO-MI's POVHoney fell asleep in my arms after an exhausting cry. I put her on the bed gently and kissed her forehead before I exited her room.After taking a quick shower, I came back to her room and she was already awake, sitting on the floor, painting with watercolor.When I looked at her work, my heart clenched. She was painting her dad. I knew it was Jeonghan because he was playing basketball."Mommy!" Honey beamed when she saw me walking in.I bent down next to her, watching as she resumed her work again. "Do you want to see dad tomorrow?"Honey stopped and turned to me, clueless."Can I really see him? You said he doesn't remember anything. Even me mommy?"I nodded, can't hold the tears that were threatening. "I'm sorry baby," I whispered. "Your dad hasn't recovered from his sickness." my voice was hoarse because I was holding my pain because this was too much to ask for. "Will you promise me not to overwhelm him and let him remember
BRITTANY'S POV"Please Philip, let me go," I begged at him but he didn't listen to me. He was deaf to everything that I say.He gently put me down on the bed and kissed my forehead "I'm sorry baby, but I can't. I love you and I won't let go of you. You belong with me, baby." Then he crashed his lips with mine, kissing me deeply. I pressed my lips together, not giving him access inside my mouth.But he bit my lips making me gasp from pain and he took that moment to enter his tongue inside my mouth while his hands roamed around my body. I moaned when I felt the pain change into a sweet pleasure and as soon as his hand touched my hot mound, I lost myself and burned in a heated flame......My eyes were still open while Philip is already sleeping beside me snoring loudly. I can't sleep, I gripped the blanket tightly as tears streamed down my face. I need to get out of here. I don't want this rotten old man here to ruin my life. I only wan
YOO-MI's POV"Mommy, let's go!" I hurriedly descended down the stairs when I heard Honey calling me from the living room. She was very excited to see Jeonghan, her eyes twinkled, and beamed with a beautiful smile.She held my hand and looked up at me, but before I could even open the door, there was a knock behind it. When I looked into the peephole, I was so surprised Cheol was standing right in front of the porch area. I opened the door and he gave me a small smile."Cheol?""I'm sorry Yoo-Mi, but did I disturb you?" he asked, his face was weary, lines etched under his eyes."We were supposed to visit Jeonghan today," I answered, looking down at Honey. Her face showed disappointment. "What can I do for you Cheol?"Cheol turned his head and I saw two strangers who were leaning on a car that was parked in front of our house. A man and a woman. I have never seen a woman before, but the man...Cheol signaled them to come nearer. "Yoo-Mi, are you ok
YOO-MI's POV"Of course Princess." Mr. Yoon held Honey's tiny hand and before they walk towards the door, my boss ruffled Cheol's hair and smiled at him. "Cheol," he greeted and he bowed his head down at Mr. Yoon.He turned his focus back to Honey and together, they walked inside the room but Brittany doesn't want to give up. Cheol and I looked at each other, he was still pissed off with her and so was I."Dad, You cannot enter inside!" she said, blocking their way. Panic was evident on her face."And why is that Brittany?" Mr. Yoon asked, his brows furrowed.She looked down, her hands fiddled with the hem of her dress. "Jeonghan didn't know about this girl." her finger pointed at me. "He thought she was just his assistant and he doesn't know he has a daughter. Do not confuse him or everything will get complicated!""Wait, what?! I don't understand! Who the hell planned all of this?!" Mr. Yoon started shouting making the people waiting on the bench tu
JEONGHAN'S POVThe following day I felt much better. My headache was gone, as well as the sore in my shoulder and back.Brittany was feeding me at 8 in the morning when the doctor came. He looked so familiar but I couldn't remember his name. He removed the bandage around my head and put a medical plaster on the wound at the back of my head."Don't worry Jeonghan, in three days, your wound will be totally healed." He said."Thank you, doctor --""Mingyu." He chuckled "I'm Doctor Kim Mingyu, you will remember me in time Jeonghan." he said as he tapped my shoulder gently."I hope so." I leaned back on the bed and said to him. "I really hope my memory comes back soon. All I know are my name and my face. And my girlfriend who is always here beside me." I smiled pulling Brittany with me and kissing her on the hair. Her arms wrapped around my torso and leaned on my chest.Mingyu cleared his throat, his eyes rolled."I'll get going," he said when he was sum
JEONGHAN's POV"Are you okay, son? Why did Yoo-Mi leave?" Dad asked me after I heaved countless sighs while I leaned on the headboard of my hospital bed. He put the two iced coffee on the table before walking towards the bed, sitting beside me.I pressed my lips together, deciding if I had to open up for him. I don't know if our relationship as father and son was fine before the accident happened but I think it's not a big thing if I open up to him, right?"Dad, I kissed Yoo-Mi." I said, heaving another sigh as I massaged my temple. "That is why she left."He clicked his tongue, then answered." That's a big problem, you have a girlfriend Jeonghan.""Yeah, I know." I stood up and slowly walked towards the window and stared outside blankly, very irritated by my reckless behavior earlier. How could I be so weak to not be able to control this crazy unwanted ache for her?"Seems like you don't have feelings for Brittany anymore.""I don't know dad."
YOO-MI’s POV“I don’t know if she’s still here in the hospital Josh, she left a while ago with Mrs. Yoon,” I answered Josh who was still on the other line as I heard the slamming of a car’s door closed.I hoped Brittany didn't go home yet. She have to pay for everything she did.“Where did she go?” he asked, muffled voices were heard in the background.“I don’t know Josh. I think I’ll go and ask Mr. Yoon, I’ll call you later.”"Yes please Yoo-Mi, but we're on our way there. They have to get Brittany as soon as possible. We may never know what else she can do.""Actually Josh, she was also the main suspect for stabbing Jeonghan." I said, my voice was shaking from nervousness. "But she's still under investigation.""What? Why didn't you tell me before?"I heaved a sigh. "I wasn't sure at that time, but now that you have your proof that she can do anything for the sake
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
