I stayed inside my car crying my heart out. I let out a deep breath and exhaled heavily letting out the dread, the emotion, the uncertainty, and confusion.I’m numb but on fire. I’m in shock but I’m lucid.Yoo-Mi is mine! She’s mine! She’s mine!I reached for my phone when it went off. I quickly grabbed it from the stand, hating the loud noise it made. I looked at the display and I sighed when I saw it was my mom who was calling me.I cleared my throat and swallowed the lump in my throat before I speak. “What do you want mom?”“Is that how you greet your own mother Jeonghan?” she asked and I felt irritated with her voice. “I’ve been spamming you with texts for over an hour!” she practically yelled through my phone causing me to roll my eyes.“I haven’t been using my phone for the last few hours. What is it that you want this time?” I askedRelated chapters
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 95
JEONGHAN’S POV“You what?!” I shouted. My heart is pounding out of my chest as I gripped the cup of tea in my fist and sat down on the chair, my breath is panting out in gasps like I’ve just run twenty laps up and down the block.She flinched. “I’m sorry Jeonghan, I did that because I don’t want that girl for you!”I breathe in and breathe out. I stared at the woman in front of me with burning rage. She was still crying, head bowed down.I pulled out my phone in my pocket and pressed something before putting it back inside. “And you want that criminal for me! Huh, mom?! What kind of mother are you! Why did you order Brittany to kidnap the woman I love!”I stood up and knocked the box of plants in front of her making them crash to the ground. Her face turned pale, her eyes widened. I know how she loved these plants so much but this is the only way I could do to tell her how much I hate her.For
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 96
YOO-MI’s POV“What did he say?” I asked Cheol as soon as he got back from answering his phone. I knew it was Jeonghan, I overheard it even though he tried to lower his voice.“He’s…uh--- Jeonghan has something to do..in the office. Yes—he’s in the office right now.“ he stuttered.I can’t help but frown as Cheol tried to lie to me. He’s a bar top notcher lawyer who tends to be investigative, which means that they are quite inquisitive and curious people that often like to spend time alone with their thoughts. Lawyers are smart people who can construct a sentence or paragraph in one seat. That was what I thought but watching Cheol right now makes me want to change my perspective about them.“Get out Cheol,” I said softly.“What? But I—““I said get out! I want to be alone!” I screamed but he stayed still, he looked at me pitifully.“No Y
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 97
YOO-MI’s POVI ran towards Josh and flung my arms around his torso, my face on his chest. He’s breathing heavily. He winced as the pain from the wounds struck him back.“You’re still wounded, Josh,”“I’m fine Yoo-Mi, and you’re not,” he said, his voice hoarse. ‘What’s wrong?”He grabbed my hand and I squeezed it with tenderness. “Nothing Josh, I just feel so worried about you.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah,” I answered and smiled at him. “I’m going home now. I will just visit you here some time okay?”“Okay, say hi to Honey for me.” he said and I nodded.“Thank you Josh, Thank you for saving my life. I thought you betrayed me, I thought you were one of Brittany’s accomplices and I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I suspected you as a bad person.” I paused. “I think, I don’t seem to kn
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 98
YOO-MI’s POVI don’t know what to do. What would I do for him? How do I help Jeonghan when I don’t even know what was his problem?He’s always been the strong one. The one who doesn’t break. It was me, I was the one who’s always needing him. Could I be what he really needed? Was I the person he really needed this time?“I love you Jeonghan, I love you,” I told him. I just keep repeating it, hoping he came back to me, hoping he knew I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere.By the time his breathing slowed and his body was no longer twitching with grief, he sucked a lungful of air and exhaled heavily.“I’m sorry Yoo-Mi, I think you deserve to know what was happening.” He said. “Can you drive?” he asked and I nodded.Josh taught me how to drive when he got his new car from his grandfather. He even helped me to get my driver’s license even though I didn’t ha
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 99
YOO-MI’s POVThe last five days have been torture. Pure tortureJeonghan had kept himself busy at the office. Got up early and came home late. He made me quit as his personal assistant to focus on Honey.We never talked about the wedding again and I am so bothered, so worried, and troubled. He doesn’t want us to move into his mansion because he wanted us to get married first, but how? When?Yesterday, I was finally fed up with whatever he was doing so I barged into his office and threw his lunch down in front of him.“Talk to me Jeonghan,” I begged him.“I’m fine Yoo-Mi,” he shook his head, started to open the plastic container. “Just stressed.”“Stressed?” I shot back. “You won’t even look at me, and Honey.”He heaved a heavy breath before I watched him flick his eyes up to mine. “I have a lot going on here. Meetings, major corporate decisions, managing
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 100
YOO-MI’s POVI stood up and pulled away from Jeonghan, walking towards the closet. I am still wearing my red silk robe. He got up from the bed and followed me quickly.Jeonghan leaned in and kissed me forcefully, his lips claiming mine. Before I knew it, everything in the bedroom ceased to exist, except for the feel of his mouth against mine. The feel of his tongue sliding past the seam of my lips to duel with mine.“Where did you go, babe? I was waiting for you but I fell asleep. You should’ve woken me up.” He breathed as he pulled away, a hand cupping the curve of my breast.I shrugged out of my robe, the swathe of silk falling to my feet. “You looked tired,” I teased, fingering the waistband of his boxers.He shut me up by his lips taking firm control over mine and his hands slid up from my waist to grip my hair, holding me against his body.I held in every moan that threatened to spill out, not wanting to give him
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 101
YOO-MI’s POVI woke up in Jeonghan’s arms, exhausted but completely sated.“Good morning babe,” he mumbled, his voice was thick from sleeping.“Good morning,” I replied, rolling over so I could face him. He kissed my forehead and ran his fingers through my hair. “How are you feeling Jeonghan?” I asked, worry in my voice. I reached up and stroked his cheek, running my finger down his chest.“I’m always fine.” He said looking away.“Okay. I should probably go and check on Honey. I sat up and stretched, the bedsheet fell to my waist exposing my breasts. Jeonghan reached up and squeezed them, tweaking my nipples.“I think you should stay here with me.” he whispered huskily and I swat his hands away before he can change my mind.“As tempting as you are, I have to help her to prepare in going to school.” I told him and slipped on my bra and his shirt.&ld
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 102
JEONGHAN’s POVThe night before the wedding has finally come and I was standing in the living room, surrounded by dozens of pictures of Yoo-Mi over the years.There’s one of her when she was five years old dressed in a Cinderella costume. Another one of her sitting on her dad’s lap eating ice cream.A picture of her and Josh on the prom night, he was probably her escort.Her high school graduation—where I chose to break her heart. Josh was standing right next to her. There are images of her sledding with her mom, sitting on a sandy beach beside—Josh.A recent one of her with Honey, their resemblance uncanny. The other photos were Yoo-Mi, Josh, and Honey.Her whole life is splayed out in front of me on the mantle, on the walls. I’ve known her for more than half of her life but I have never been there for her. She’s been the most important person in my life since the moment I first saw her in her room 12 years ago

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
