CHAPTER 166
JEONGHAN’s POV
You should go home and see dad. He missed you a lot. That’s what Cheol's last message to me.Guilty, that’s all I feel.I’ve been carrying around this guilt for years. The guilt of needing to go home and tell dad that I couldn’t stay. Couldn’t look him in the face because I had this terrible secret I was safeguarding for the woman he loved. Mom, who cheated on him, for having an affair with Mr. Lee.The last part of my healing journey is going home, telling dad the truth. Finding who was Honey’s biological father, and hoping everything will be alright between me and Yoo-Mi.Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened if I stayed. If I didn’t leave. If I told her I needed help. Would she have stayed with me? Yes, because we’re family. Yoo-Mi, Honey and me.I know it might sound selfish. Selfish that I didn’t want to dump my issues on her. How could I do that to her? Ask her to heRelated chapters
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 167
YOO-MI’s POVI felt someone gently shake my shoulder while my head was stuck on Honey’s bed in the hospital as I pried my eyes open. There’s a fuzzy, white glow around the room. I sat up straight, wiped the drool from my mouth. My head was pounding. I have jetlag from my flight last night.I looked up and saw Josh’s gentle smile. If guilt was an ocean, I’d be drowning in it.“Honey is fine now, though you might want to go home first and take a rest.” Josh offered.“What time is it?” my voice was raspy and hoarse. It sounded like I haven’t had anything to drink in days.“It’s eight,” he answered. “Let’s wait for your mom and then we’ll go.” He said and I nodded.I brushed my hand over Honey’s hair who was peacefully sleeping. “Honey baby, please stay strong okay? Mommy’s here now, I won’t leave you again.” I cried and kissed
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 168
YOO-MI’s POVThe blinds were still closed as my eyes fluttered open, tears gathered in their corners. There wasn’t a sliver of sunlight beaming across the room. It must be overcast today because the clouds were dark, grey and there’s a biting of cool breeze, and a dusting of snow.I felt Josh’s arm before I remembered he was sleeping beside me. My heart sank in my chest. How could I tell him? I should tell him.Slowly, I turned over to look at him. Tiny hairs were now growing on his chin along his jawline, his jet black hair was messy, tossed atop his head while he sleeps. His mouth was slightly open, his lips red, his arm still holding onto me, his shallow breaths soothing and sobering.I should tell Josh what Jeonghan and I did. What I did. How I betrayed him. How I ruined whatever it is we’re trying to figure out here. How I ruined our family, how I lied to him about going to Monaco but I went in LA instead.I didn’t th

YOO-MI’s POV“Mommy!” Honey greeted me with her arms spread wide open as soon as I entered inside her room in the hospital. She looked so weak, but still, a bright smile plastered on her lips when she saw me.I swiftly walked towards her and a tear escaped from my eye as I came closer to hug my daughter. Her body was getting paler and thinner. “Baby, how are you?”She pulled away and smiled as she looked up at me. “I’m fine now mommy, because you’re already here.”She then reached for a drawing book that was placed on top of the table and showed it to me. “Mommy, look at this, this is my drawing of you, is it look alike?I leaned over and took the sketch book from her, observing it attentively. I nodded my head. “It looks alike, baby.” I smiled looking at the sketch of my face on the paper. She loves to draw and soon became her hobby ever since she was admitted in and out of the hospital
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 170
YOO-MI’s POVHow did it happen?When did it happen?Why did he hide it from me?Why did Josh keep it for a very long time?As I closed my eyes, those questions kept popping into my head, and I found it hard to breathe as my hand clutched the steering wheel.I felt like the pain I’ve been trying to bear was exploding out of my chest.How could you this to me Josh?As I parked my car in front of his mansion, I remembered mom’s last words. “Think about Honey. Please save our baby.”My sobs broke and as they’re getting worse, it’s even harder for me to move.Did Josh rape me? But I couldn’t remember anything happened like that.He wouldn’t dare to hurt me because he loves me. Or he loved me too much that he chose to keep it, for me not to get hurt. Tears streamed down my face unstoppable. I hate it that they just won’t stop from flowing.My heart hurt so bad thinking of how did he hide it from me for almost eight years. It’s like a striking pain hit my chest believing he wouldn’t hurt me,
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 171
YOO-MI's POV'You were the one who kissed me. I'm only a man Yoo-Mi, who loves you, adores you, admires you and waiting for you to love me back. I'm sorry Yoo-Mi, I'm so sorry."My hand covered my mouth as my eyes widened in shock. i had heard it from other people but to hear it from him just made me dizzy and make me want to puke every single food that I took in. My best friend, my very best friend who I trusted for a very long time did this to me."It was Jeonghan I was seeing when we did it." I whispered and he cried.Nothing could've prepared me for the devastating pain I felt when he told me everything, or for the anger that had my heart constricting, making me think that it was going to stop beating.There was an aching lump stuck in my throat, one that made it hard for me to even breathe. Not only that, but I also had to fight against my tear ducts, for I did not want to cry in front of him.But the tears that I've been trying to hold now fell one by one, rolling down my cheeks
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 172
JOSH's POVI watched her disappeared from my sight, from my living room, from my house.From my life.I didn't mean to hurt her. Didn't mean for her to see Lia. Didn't mean for her to think I was retaliating.It would be easier if I didn't know. Know that I couldn't compete with Jeonghan. I couldn't compete with how much she loved him. How much he loved her. She didn't care that we are getting married, building our own family, whatever the fuck it was. She slept with him again. How could I compete with that?She probably didn't think twice before jumping into bed with him. Didn't consider me. Didn't even think about us, about our family.She knew he's infertile, but still she slept with him, for what? For lust? When I was always here waiting for her to come back. Yes, I knew it, her mom told me that Jeonghan couldn't make a woman pregnant.I didn't know whether to feel relieved or more annoyed.I didn't want to go back and forth with her anymore. I'm ready to move on. The hole Jeongha
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 173
YOO-MI's POVMy eyes still swimming with tears when I pulled my phone out and scrolled through my contacts. My thumb hovers over his name.‘Let me have your phone." I remembered Jeonghan said.'Why?"'Yoo-Mi, just give me the phone."Reluctantly, I had handed it over to Jeonghan the night after he saved me from that psychopath.I watched him as he punched in his number, saved it under the contact information before his eyes lingered on the call log. The one that showed I had called his old number a few times over the past month, when I found out about Honey's condition. He didn't mention it as he handed me back my phone.'I put my new number in there," he cleared his throat. 'Call me if a psychopath blocks your way again," he smiled.At that time, I was lost in thought. Too lost in trying to figure out what I'm going to do.There was nothing left holding Jeonghan and I together. Only the past. And I decided I was tired of living there. Tired of being tied to that part of my life.Lia
MY CRUSH, MY NEIGHBOR CHAPTER 174
YOO-MI's POVI'm four days late. My period hasn't come yet, and I wasn't freaking out because Jeonghan said he was infertile. Did he lie to me again?My period hasn't been late before. I've been under a ton of stress lately and I wasn't jumping to conclusions. I wasn't, at this point. I couldn't control what happens any more than I could control the weather.I haven't seen Josh in his office for a week already. I think he'd got some business meetings to attend to, and never once had he visited me in my office for the past weeks that I came back from my vacation leave. And if he'd come to visit Honey in the house, I would always pretend I was busy.Space.I need space right now. Everything else can wait.I finished up payroll for next week and opened Google to search for early pregnancy symptoms. I sifted through the results. Missed periods, breast tenderness, frequent urination, dizziness, nausea, intuition.I knew all of this because I had experienced this with Honey.But intuition?
