YOO-MI’s POV
The side of his face, his back to me as he stepped off the curb and onto the street. His hands were stuffed into the pocket of his jeans.I jumped as fast as I could, spilling the wine all over the table. My hands fumbled with the door handle as I pushed it open and raced out the door, into the cold, into the street, frantically scanning the dark night as I searched for him.Flashes of white and red, headlights, and taillights casted shadows all over the road and storefronts and sidewalks.I ran my hands through my hair, trying to figure out which way he had gone.But no matter where I looked, there was no trace of him. No sign that he had really been there.When I finally gave up searching, figuring he was just a figment of my imagination, I assumed my heart was telling me something, but my head and I were not privy to—we were not really over him.Defeated, I felt my shoulders slumped as I started to walk back to the restaYOO-MI’s POV“Can you imagine though?” Lia hummed. “Wrapping your mouth around Josh’s dick makes me wet just thinking about it.”She’s the perviest friend ever!“Lia stop!” I scoffed. “Definitely not going to happen!”She just smirked and continued eating popcorn. Then suddenly the doorbell rang, Lia turned to me, her eyes asking who could be my visitor at this hour. It was almost midnight.I hopped from the couch, treaded across the cream-colored carpet to the front door as Lia followed me with her eyes.I sneaked a peek through the peephole and saw Josh on the other side of the door.“Lia, Josh is here, behave!”I unlocked the door and swung it open.“Get that dick, girl!” Lia yelled as Josh’s brown eyes came into view.I’m pretty sure Josh heard her the way he raised a judgmental eyebrow at me. My face turned red in embarrassment.
YOO-MI’s POV“Yoo-Mi, wake up!” I felt someone gently shake my shoulder, waking me up and as I pried my eyes open, Lia’s face frowned looking at me.“What?” I asked.“You were moaning in your dreams bitch!”Shit, I was dreaming!“Am I?” I sat up and removed the blanket from me and looked around. “Where’s Josh?”“He went upstairs to check on Honey before going home. He said he misses your daughter.” she smiled. “You’re very lucky to have him Yoo-Mi,”“I know,” I said and smiled back as I made my way upstairs. When I opened Honey’s bedroom door, I saw her snuggled closer to Josh, her face buried in his chest. Josh’s arms wrapped around her small frame, his chin on top of her head looking so perfect as father and daughter. A smile crept up my lips while watching them.The poor plush was dropped on the ground and I be
YOO-MI’s POVI felt Honey lay between me and Josh and I instantly wrapped my arm around her body but she faced Josh, hugged him, and got back to sleep.Josh felt her and hugged my daughter, kissing her hair. He gave me a warm smile before closing his eyes again.Mom was making a pot of coffee when I walked into the kitchen, my eyes tired from the lack of sleep last night, thinking.I leaned on the counter with my elbows, rested my chin on my hands. “Good morning mom,”Her brown hair was pulled into a low bun at the nape of her neck. She’s wearing black slacks and a light blue blouse. She’s been at the hospital all night working.For the first time in my life, mom looked older than her age. The laugh lines were carved deeper into her creamy skin, her frown lines more prominent. She’s been through a lot lately, in work, with Honey and me.I’m just happy we’re still here living with her. she doesn’
YOO-MI’s POV“Hi,” Josh entered inside my office, straightening the business suit he wore, smiling widely at me.“Hey,” I looked up from typing something on my computer and leaned in to accept the kiss on my cheek. “What brought you here?“It’s almost lunchtime, we’re going out,” he answered. “I know a good place uptown, you love seafoods right?” he asked, sitting on top of my table and closing my laptop with his hand.“Hey, I’m not done yet!”“I’m the boss here, Yoo-Mi, you have to follow me.” he grinned and searched his pocket for his phone and dialed to reserve in The Kim’s-- a fine dining restaurant.I shook my head and smiled sheepishly as I put my things back in their proper places on top of my table while he watched me with an amused expression.“What?” I asked, standing up from my chair, stretching up my limbs.
YOO-MI’S POVI furrowed my brows and stepped into the open doorway. There was Josh sitting on the couch with one of the financial analysts, Yeji and they were having what seemed like a cozy conversation. She was talking and he was just staring at her, listening patiently.Well, how dare they flirted in my own office. If he wanted to flirt, he could just bring her inside his office and not mine.I thought I felt a little sting in my chest but I quickly shoved it down. No, since the employees here like to give me nicknames like Tigress Bitch or Bitchy Witch. Then I would show them as it is.I crossed my arm against my chest and cleared my throat loudly, leaning against the doorway. There were still a few employees working in their cubicles and I knew this would surely attract their attention.It was the norm. Whenever I walked to common areas, or I have something important to tell Josh and walked into his office, they always stop their conversations and
YOO-MI’s POVWe waited for the elevator to come, Josh's hand snaked around my waist from the side, I nearly jumped. He has never been showy to the public, and it’s bothering me. He’s making things weird.“Why? Can’t I hold you?” he questioned with a smirk and I shook my head.The elevator came and we stepped into it, his hand touched the small of my back and when I was almost ready to go straight to one corner, he held my waist and we stayed in the center.“Are you alright?” he leaned down, whispering into my ear, nuzzling it with his nose at the same time.“I’m fine,” I mumbled.The elevator stopped at a lower level and people entered, their eyes were suspicious.When we got to the ground floor, Josh led me by my waist to the main entrance. He was holding me, practically gluing me to his sides that I was starting to like.The first and basically the only thing that caught my at
YOO-MI’s POVI put down my utensils feeling even more confused when a band entered the room and started playing sweet music.I was overwhelmed and I don’t know how to react but my body acted naturally as I placed a hand in my mouth covering it.“Can I have this dance Yoo-Mi?” Josh offered his hand and I didn’t hesitate to take it.We made our way to the center and he pulled me closer with his arms around my waist and my arms around his neck. I laid my head on his shoulder as we swayed through the beat of the song.“You are so beautiful Yoo-Mi,” he whispered and I smiled not taking my face away from his chest listening to the beat of his heart.We enjoyed the music and sealed it with a kiss when it has ended. I was about to get back to my seat when he stopped me, holding my hand so tight.“I love you so much Yoo-Mi.” he rasped with his voice shaky. I opened my mouth to say it back but he cut me o
YOO-MI’ POVI realized I was all smiley after we returned to my office. We were an hour late but Josh didn’t mind at all as he always said, he’s the boss. He had planned for us to take the day off to spend our moment together, celebrating our engagement, but I insisted we should go back, for I have left many documents to sign up and to review, and submit it to him before the month ended.Josh kissed me goodbye before he made his way to his own office. and as time passed by, he invaded and took up space in my mind and it was a freaking disaster.I should be focusing on the work I had lying all over my desk, but instead, I was replaying every part of what he did to me, of how he proposed to me.I groaned out loud. I was behaving like an infatuated schoolgirl who just spent time with her crush. I couldn’t imagine if my staff walked in on me giggling to nothing. They’d probably think I completely lost.Shaking my head, I dived back
