YOO-MI's POV
The next morning, I woke up in bed with Jeonghan’s arm wrapped around me. I tried quietly getting up, slowly removing his arm from me.
“I’m already awake Yoo-Mi.”“Why did you wake up so early?” I asked as I sat down on the bed.“Your mom called, you were peacefully sleeping so I have no choice but to talk to her, I don’t want to disturb you,” he said, stretching his limbs. “Dad sent bodyguards in your house to protect them, to protect our daughter.”I nodded as I pulled the blanket away from my body. “I hope they’ll find Brittany and scarfaced man soon so that I could get back to my daughter. I miss her so much.” I blinked my eyes to stop the tears from threatening to fall.I stood up from the bed and stormed into the bathroom. I removed my clothes, suddenly in need of a warm shower.I stepped into the stream, enjoying the warm water for about 5 secoYOO-MI's POVAfter talking to Honey, I went back inside the room and found out that Jeonghan was still inside the shower room. What’s taking him so long?I put my battery emptied phone on the nightstand and walked towards the shower room’s door when it suddenly bursts open revealing Jeonghan with just a small white towel wrapped around his hips.Water dripped down from his wet and tousled hair, looking so sexy with his well-defined body. I couldn’t help but run my hands on his wet body from the contour of his chest to his washboard stomach. And I felt him gasp. “Yoo-Mi,”He stopped my hand from exploring and I looked at him.“Don’t, or you’ll regret this in the morning?” he said, walking past me.What does he mean? “What are you talking about?” I asked following him as he sat on top of the bed.“Your wound is still fresh and I don’t want to hurt you,” he said look
JEONGHAN’s POV“Yoo-Mi?”I woke up feeling disappointed that the other side of the bed was empty. Where did she go?She left the room without waiting for me to wake up. This is the first time she’s not here beside me. I would always love us to wake up together in the morning, cuddle while talking about plans, then make love in the shower.I exhaled heavily and sat up, leaning my back against the headboard. I looked for her phone on the bedside table but it’s not there, only the gun was left.She mentioned to me last night that her phone had been drained from the battery. She might have gone to ask for a charger in the receptionist, but it’s too dangerous for her to leave the room. She should have called them and asked for a charger.I stood up from the bed and put on my clothes immediately. I grabbed the gun and slid it in my waist, I could use it in case of emergency.I stormed out of the room and ran my way int
JEONGHAN’s POVI woke up and realized that I was in a hospital room. I sat up immediately when I saw the IV line attached to my left arm. What happened to me? I look around and I saw nothing.“Yoo-Mi? Honey? Where are you, baby?” I asked, then I saw a dark figure of a man sitting in the armchair. “Dad?”“Jeonghan, it’s me, Cheol.” He stood up and came near me.I looked at him blankly, trying to figure out what had just happened. I looked at my surroundings and there’s no one else but him. Cups of coffee and food boxes on the table near him proved that he had been with me for quite some time.“Are you okay?” He asked, with a concerned expression.“Yeah, I’m okay. What happened?” I sat up on the bed slowly and leaned my back against the padded headboard.He settled on the chair beside the bed and I saw my brother’s face clearly. His puffy eyes, the tiredness on
JEONGHAN’s POV“Daddy?”I rushed to her and engulfed her in a hug, sobbing. “Honey my baby.” I cried hugging her small frame, and she was crying too. Her tiny arms wrapped around my neck, her small sobs made me cry even more.We pulled away and I wiped the tears in her eyes. Honey sniffed and I can still see the sadness in her eyes.“Dad, do you remember me now?” Honey rasped.“Of course baby, of course.” And I hugged her again, tighter this time. “I love you, baby, I love you so much.”Tears pooled again in her eyes. “Daddy, where’s mommy?”I choke in my tears and I swallowed the lump in my throat. How could I tell her? How could I tell her that Yoo-Mi was kidnapped without hurting her so badly?I looked at Yoo-Mi’s mom and grandma and they were watching us with tears in their eyes. Grandma looked away and left, she walked towards her bedroom and closed
JEONGHAN’s POV“Brittany,” I gritted my teeth, my voice filled with anger. I was trying my best to control the fire burning inside me so that I can get her to fill in the information we needed first.Brittany scoffed. “So baby boy, I just want you to know that your precious girl is here with mine."“Fuck Brittany! Where is she? What did you do to her?” I hollered, unable to control it the moment she confirmed she was with her, my loud voice echoing in the room, my hands gripped the side of the table like I’m able to topple it any moment.Bitch!Mom looked like she was about to have a heart attack after hearing Brittany say the fact herself, her favorite person, the daughter-in-law she always wanted.Brittany laughed in a way that made the temperature in the room drop significantly. She was like a madman who was possessed by another madman. A psychopath.“Relax baby,” she said, “You can get
YOO-MI’s POVI quietly got up from the bed and kissed Jeonghan’s lips before I walked inside the shower room and took a quick shower. The wound on my side is almost healing so I didn’t have to put a bandage on it anymore.I put on the pink sundress that Jeonghan bought yesterday morning. My long brown hair was styled in loose waves.I walked towards the nightstand and picked up my phone but it was dead bat, I remember telling last night Jeonghan that we needed to recharge it so that his dad could contact us once he arrives to fetch us here in the hotel.I felt so excited about going home. I missed Honey so much.I take a look at Jeonghan and a smile touched my lips as I remember how we spent our last night here in the hotel.He was so sweet and passionate, so wild and hungry like he wouldn’t want to stop from our lovemaking. I told him I would pass out if he won’t stop and he just gave me a wicked smile but stopped eventual
YOO-MI’s POVMy head was spinning like crazy and I could hear my own heavy breathing. My eyelids flickered and when I tried to open my eyes, a sharp pain hit my head so I squeezed my eyes shut again.Before I could muster the energy to open my eyes, I was splashed with cold water on my face. I gasped and my eyes snapped open.My vision gradually came back to me. I realized now that I was trapped in a place, in a dirty warehouse and all I see were two men and a woman.I was sitting but I couldn’t move my body. Fear engulfed me and my body shuddered. I have no energy that I couldn’t move and I was tied on a chair, my wrists and legs were tied. My hands were shaking when I tried to move them, feeling the harsh rope burn my skin the more I try to free my hands from it.I snapped my head up to see the person who just splashed the water in me and I was right, it was Brittany.She ditched the can of water on the ground before turning her back
JOSH’s POVThe atmosphere in Maldives was too different from Seoul. Few people walking along the way, the air is so fresh, waters everywhere.The island looked exactly like those images floating across your screen—bright sun, transparent blue lagoons, house reef teeming with fish, sand beaches that stretched out into nothing but miles and miles of turquoise waters, and blue skies.A tropical paradise indeed, but I’m not here for a vacation. I came here to fetch the person I’ve never got the chance to see for almost a year now, my dad.The car that took me from the airport pulled up in a huge hotel and I immediately climbed out and entered inside and asked the information desk for my father’s room number.I knocked three times and a lady in white opened the door, his private nurse. “Yes sir, what I can I do for you?”“I am Philip Hong’s son.”As soon as I entered dad’s roo
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
