My 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 backRelated chapters
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 86
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

JOSH’s POV“Did you get her? Good,” Brittany hung up the phone and faced me. “So now that they have taken Yoo-Mi, you have to wait for the car in front of that building.” She pointed to the tall building at the back of her house. “And get inside the black car once it stopped. See you in the warehouse.”And she left me alone in the house. When I saw her drive her way out, I hurriedly ran upstairs and unlocked her room. I opened the secret vault pressing the password that dad gave me.I gathered all the documents that were signed by her and Mr. Lee with dad’s approval. The documents that they signed in merging our companies. When I got all I needed, I stormed out of the room and climbed down the stairs.I ran towards the kitchen and opened the backdoor to look for the building that Brittany ordered me to wait but my eyes darted on the beautiful view right in front of me. The whole backyard was arranged for a wedding,
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 88
YOO-MI’s POVI whimpered, tears rolling down my cheeks as I felt Josh's warm embrace wrapped around my body. He’s crying too, I could feel it the way his shoulders shook.“Josh?” I whispered and he pulled me closer. I closed my eyes and another tear fell on my cheek. This was all too painful to me, seeing him betray me made me want to slap him hard across his face.How did he do this to me? All I did was love him as my best friend. I never thought he could do something like this, to kidnap and let me abuse by a stranger. I gave all my trust and love to him that even Honey loved him like her own father.I shook my head slowly as I remembered my daughter and my eyes suddenly darted on Brittany and she was watching us murderously. “Josh!” she called out. “Get away from her!”“No!”“Get the fuck away from her, or she’ll die!” Brittany pointed the gun at my temple and I squeezed
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 89
YOO-MI’s POVI groaned softly as I felt my head and muscles ache. My eyes flickered, trying to open my eyes but the blinding light made me wince.“Yoo-Mi?”Slowly I opened my eyes again and I saw white and nothing else. But then my vision gradually became clearer.It’s a white ceiling.My gaze traveled around the surrounding, rays of sunlight coming through the window. I’m in a hospital room.My eyes widened when I remember what happened. I clutched my head hoping the pain would recede.“Josh!” I screamed, the heart monitor began to beep faster.“Babe,” Jeonghan’s hoarse voice made me turn my head, and I found him sitting beside my bed, staring at me with teary eyes. He came closer and pressed his lips into mine “You’re awake.” He broke into a smile. “How are you feeling?” he asked after pulling away from the hug.I’m still trying to absorb wha
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 90
YOO-MI’S POVThe next morning, I was back inside Josh’s room and Jeonghan was out to grab some food at the hospital’s cafeteria. As I glued myself onto the chair beside Josh’s bed, Yeri’s eyes glued at me too but I didn’t look on her way even once.I only want to be with Josh and it’s like that I couldn’t be away from him even just for a moment.I held Josh’s hand in mine, caressing it. “Josh,” I whispered. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you were hurt because of me, that you would have to go through all of this saving me.”I heard Yeri scoff but I ignored her. I watched Josh sleeping, his chest heaving up and down in a steady rhythm.Then I felt a small movement inside my hand and my heart thudded. Josh's eyes furrowed, and I immediately leaned closer to him.Yeri ran towards us and stopped at the other side of the bed, leaned closer to Josh too, her eyes glared at me.
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 91
YOO-MI’s POVI was waiting for Jeonghan in Josh’s room while Yeri went out to buy coffee. As soon as I heard the door open, I immediately turned around and was disappointed to see Yeri enter inside.“Yeri, did you see Jeonghan?” I asked her and she shook her head sadly.Where are you Jeonghan? I glanced at my wristwatch and realized he's been away for two hours already. Suddenly I got worried, thinking that something happened to him, but quickly whisked the dreadful thought and borrowed Yeri’s phone to send him a text message.I waited for five minutes but he didn’t reply. “Yeri, can I call him?” I asked and she nodded with a smile.“Sure.”I dialed his number but his voice mail answered it. Once again, I waited for another couple of minutes and almost dropped the phone when I heard the message tone, however, relief crossed my face when I saw that the text message came from him.Though it
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 92
JEONGHAN’S POV“Babe, I’ll just grab us some food. What do you want to eat?” I asked Yoo-Mi as she leaned her head on the headboard, my hands holding hers.“I don’t want anything Jeonghan.” She answered softly and I instantly got worried. She hasn’t been eating anything ever since she was brought here to the hospital.“You have to eat, or you’ll get weak.” I convinced her, she seemed indisposed.“Okay, just get anything you want.”I dropped a hurried kiss on her forehead and walked towards the door. “I’ll be right back.”“Jeonghan—“ she called out. “Can you accompany me to Josh’s room? I want to see him.”Josh again. I was very grateful that Josh saved Yoo-Mi, but the fact that she always thinks about him and didn’t want to leave his side makes my heart ripped with jealousy. I hate it! I hate it that she’s
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 93
JEONGHAN’S POVI pulled up in front of the Seoul police station and was about to climb down the car when my phone rings again. I had declined all Cheol’s calls because I knew he’s with Yoo-Mi but it was now dad who was calling me.“Dad?” I picked up his call.“Jeonghan where are you?” his voice is dangerously calm but I don’t give a fuck.“Out. If Yoo-Mi called you, tell her we had emergency errands to run in the office.”“What? But I am here in her room right now! Where are you?” he shouted, his voice was hoarse.“I don’t care, dad! Just tell her anything!” I shouted back, frustrated.“Jeonghan!”“Okay fine, I’m here in Seoul police station. I’m going to talk to Brittany.” I heaved a sigh. “Call you later dad. Bye!”“Jeonghan, don’t hang up on me! Jeonghan!”...

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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 214
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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 213
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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 212
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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 211
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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 209
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,
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 208
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
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 207
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
