YOO-MI’s POV
Josh grabbed my bags in one hand, holding my waist in the other as we leave the restaurant. He was treating me like a child, like I was a fragile thing to be taken care of.Going back to the car, Josh informed me that his friends would be joining us. He said he wants us to celebrate our engagement with his friends.I left the paper bag in his car and he carried my handbag like before. He did it without feeling embarrassing or obligated. He was genuinely willing to.The valet at Club Syndrome greeted us, as we entered the club. It was now considered a relatively high-class club, unlike the last time I went here, two years ago. It was now one of the cons for building a nightclub on the 40th story.The pros were that the view from up there was amazing, there were three floors to the club. The bar, stage, and dance floor, which was the ground with the VIP sofas, darts machines, and pool tables occupied the mezzanine floor.The rooftop barYOO-MI’s POVBoo, the manager came back with three voluptuous women, including Joy who were all in tight, revealing dresses and high heels.“Mr. Hong,” Boo announced their presence. This time, Josh waved a hand and gestured for the ladies to join us. “Please let the girls know if you need anything. They will serve your drinks.”Each lady sat beside each man, which meant one was sitting on the other side of Josh looked like just one of them too, sitting here and I tried not to be jealous.Josh still had his arm around me and I didn’t notice him blatantly ogle at them, which was a relief.Three Remy Martin was brought to our table shortly after and the women began pouring the liquor into glasses for all of us. I was expecting them to leave mine out but to my surprise, they didn’t. One of them actually smiled and slid my drink to me across the table.We did our cheers altogether, I saw the men gulping down the glas
YOO-MI’s POVSince I decided to marry her.” Josh seethed, letting go of JK’s poor shirt which was now wrinkled. He shot him another stern glare before sitting in the space between JK and I, his arm returned to my waist. “Are you okay?” he asked brushing his knuckles on my cheek as I nodded.“Hold up.” JK sat back down, wide-eyed. Seokmin scooted closer too. “This is her? This the Yoo-Mi you were talking about?”I didn’t know that Josh talked to his friends about me. Feeling a little embarrassed to be the center of the subject, I pressed further myself into Josh’s side.“Yes,” he said firmly, turning to kiss me on my lips. I gladly reciprocated despite the strong liquor taste in his mouth. This kiss was territorial, meant to put on a show to prove his point. That I was his.“Well, damn.” JK released a breath. “You never said you’re going to bring your fianc&e
YOO-MI’S POVI jolted awake, noticing that the sky was still dark. I couldn’t remember when but somehow we fell asleep. I wasn’t sure why I even woke up until I felt something poking behind my ass. I was wearing one of Josh’s big shirts and the hem lifted up, my bareback felt that thing touching me.My face turned red as a tomato when I realized it was Josh’s erection grinding against me in his sleep. Is he even aware of what he's doing in his sleep? He had me in a tight embrace, spooning me from behind.I flipped around to face him, trailing a finger down his jaw. It must have tickled him because he reached up to scratch the same spot. And I smiled teasing him again. He slightly opened his eyes and pulled me closer, kissing my temple, and closed his eyes again getting back to sleep.Nothing happened last night, and I was glad he kept his promises to wait until our wedding night. He just wanted to sleep with me, cuddle with me and wr
YOO-MI’s POVI sucked in a deep breath. I had no speech in mind. I was supposed to come up with something but my mind was blank. I had nothing. I started to wonder how my morning would’ve been if I didn’t come across his phone. I would probably have snuck back into his arms, teasing him, cuddling, and kissing each other.“Oh thank god,” I heard footsteps from behind me. Josh walked up to where I sat at the window and wrapped his arm around my waist. “You don’t know how scared I was to wake up and find you not in bed anymore.” He sighed, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck.I bit my lip. What now? I was still staring out the glass and was glancing around desperately, hoping to see a sign down there.When I didn’t respond, Josh turned me around by my shoulders to face him. I finally saw him, his hair was slightly disheveled from sleep. He had a pair of boxer briefs on, shielding his nakedness from me, hi
YOO-MI’s POV“What’s the most important thing to you?” I managed to choke out.Josh came to sit next to me concernedly. “Baby, I know something’s wrong. What is it?”But I couldn’t stay seated beside him, so closely with our knees touching, so I jumped up and moved to a corner.“Tell me Josh, do you really love me?” I asked again.“Of course, how can you even ask me that?” he ducked his head near my ear, his voice raw and husky as he spoke. “What else do you want for me to prove it to you?”I breathed.“Let me show you that I love you, that I care for you.” he moved closer. “Let me take care of you baby.” He spoke in a tantalizingly slow manner, stroking my jawbone with his index finger, his lips a fraction away from mine.I ignored the urge to close the gap, choosing rather to concentrate on the words that were running in my mind.
JOSH’s POVEIGHT YEARS AGOEight fucking years ago was the most regretful day of my life.Final exams were scheduled for next week. Yoo-Mi and I had been sleepless and cranky every night as we crammed together in our regular study sessions.My eyes fixated on Yoo-Mi, sitting behind my study table, concentrated on studying Trigonometry. Her pouty red lips moved so sensuously and her presence in my room was suffocating me, like I wanted to kiss her right here, right now.But I can’t do that. She had her full trust on me, she treated me as her best friend and she has a boyfriend, well fuck! A fucking ex-boyfriend who left her, who hurt her and made her cry repeatedly.I don’t understand how a beautiful girl like her needed to be hurt by some asshole, Yoon Jeonghan, the guy that I despised with every nerve fibre in my being, the immature, playboy narcissist who just cared about himself and every other person is a pawn in her life. The guy
Eight years agoYOO-MI’s POVI rushed down the hall feeling really out of it. Something’s wrong with me, maybe I was allergic to alcohol? I looked around for Josh but he’s missing. Where did he go?I’m itchy and my skin was on fire and I felt like I can’t even keep my body up.Just as I was about to open the bathroom, arms grabbed me around my waist. I tried to scream but a hand clutched my mouth stopping me from creating any sound. I tried to fight back but I couldn’t bring myself to move or lift up my arms.My body felt weightless and my mind was fuzzy like I couldn’t think straight, something’s really wrong with me.I felt the arms lift me up and drag me somewhere. My mind was telling me to get the hell out of here but my body couldn’t seem to move, everything was numb, everything was woozy but I could clearly see that I was in a bedroom.The door shut closed and I was turned to face the pe
Eight years agoJOSH’s POVI ran my way towards the bathroom when I heard a banging noise and a girl’s voice yelling for some help. I followed the noise and turned, finding the door and trying to open it but it was locked. I kicked the door open giving all my strength and there I saw Mark on top of Yoo-Mi who was struggling from his hold.“What the fuck?” I yelled and wasted no time as I kicked hard on Mark’s face. I saw Yoo-Mi’s head lifted and her eyes locked on mine. My jaw immediately clenched and my insides twisted with rage when I saw the blood on her lips.My eyes traveled down and saw her tank top ripped and a feeling I can only describe as fucking murder crossed me.I turned to Mark and lunged him, grabbing his collar as I punched him repeatedly, throwing all the rage and anger inside me, punching him over and over until he was unconscious. This prick needs to get what he deserved.I heard a whimper across
