Our last night in Maldives was spent swimming on the rooftop of our suite. Opening the door to the rooftop swimming pool, Jeonghan clicked on the lights and I smiled when I found the large pool waiting for us. Jeonghan rented the pool for both of us to use in private.
The blue water reminded me of a tropical beach and without any further incentive, I walked straight towards it. Slipping off my robe, I stepped into the water and gasped lightly at the coldness.
I was wearing a skimpy black bikini, one of Jeonghan's choices when we went out shopping this afternoon. Even with a heated pool, I still needed a moment to adjust to the temperature before going all the way in.
I walked down the broad steps under the water until I could no longer reach the ground.
"Careful babe." I heard Jeonghan say as he placed down the champagne and two glasses he was holding on top of the glass table.
Taking the first stroke, I swam towards the other end, keeping my head
As soon as we got out of the airport, I called Grandma to ask where Honey was and she said she took her to school and she just went home to prepare for lunch.Jeonghan took my hand in his after we got out of the car, heading towards the building of Honey’s school. I couldn’t wait to see her again and I was too excited that my hands were shaking while Jeonghan held them tight.I could feel that he was more nervous than I was. “She’s supposed to have an English class right now," I said as we headed to the first-grade classrooms.Jeonghan squeezed my hand in appreciation, a small smile tugging at his lips. He said I was such an attentive mother, and he’s grateful that I had been a great single parent while he was away.When we reached her classroom, the English class caught our attention right away because it’s filled with more people. I noticed that the students were having a speech lesson and had invited the parents.
JEONGHAN'S POVWe walked out of the school building with Honey between Yoo-Mi and I, holding both of her hands. I've never been so happy and contented. Now that my family was complete, I will do everything to keep them, love them and cherish them for the rest of my life.I told Yoo-Mi to just wait for me at the entrance of the school building and I'll take the car. I quickly crossed the empty road and walked towards the parking lot. As I climbed inside the car, my head turned on Yoo-Mi and Honey.I watched them as Yoo-Mi bent down and a lock of her brown hair fell forward. She was talking to my Honey, my sweet Honey. I smiled when my eyes glanced at her tiny fingers curled trustingly around Yoo-Mi's hand, smiling while listening attentively to her mother.It was then that I realized how lucky I was to have these two sweet and gorgeous girls in my life.There was a strong gust of wind and it whipped their hair, so alike that my heart fluttered. They
JEONGHAN'S POV "Uncle Josh!"Honey screeched before trying to wiggle out of my hold and ran into him. "Honey," he smiled, opening his arms wide to meet my daughter with a tight embrace before he lifted her up in the air, spinning her around. Honey screamed in happiness making our hearts melt with her laughter. Josh put her down and handed her a big teddy bear with a pink bow around its neck. Honey automatically nestled into him and buried her face in the crook of his neck. I felt a sharp pain in my chest watching them. I clenched my jaw. I hated the fact that not only he had captured my girl's heart, but also my own daughter. And that was before I even knew that she was my daughter. After learning that Mr. Philip Hong was his father, I've done my research about Joshua Hong and I found out that he was the founder and owner of Rocket company. A prestigious one who was known for taking a small construction company and turning
YOO-MI's POV"Jeonghan, what was that?" I asked him as soon as he closed the door of my bedroom. My voice wasn't loud but with firm. I was worried, people downstairs might hear me nagging. I watched him as he brushed her fingers through his hair before he took a seat on my bed." I'm sorry babe, but I don't like the way he was looking at you." "My god Jeonghan, he's my best friend!" I sighed as I leaned my back on the wall. "How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to feel jealous." "I can't help it! Grandma and your mom like him. They didn't approach me the way they approached him. And Honey never laughs like that with me. Tell me babe, how could you expect me to act normally when all I think was that what am I going to do, so that your family will treat me the way they treated him." he said, having no idea how those words stabbed my heart. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he sobbed in his hands and my heart broke even more thinking
I watched Jeonghan's back as he followed Josh in the garden. They need to talk or at least clear everything, clear every misunderstanding they have. I sat on the couch, leaned my back and closed my eyes. Now that everything with Jeonghan and I was settled, we have to plan for our future. If he's planning to move us in his mansion, then I have to stop working for him. I have to focus myself on taking care of Honey. And the wedding. After all the things we'd been through, we're finally getting married. I smiled at the thought of me walking down the aisle while he's waiting for me at the altar. "What are you thinking babe?" My thoughts broke off when Jeonghan sat beside me, brushing a loose tendril of my hair, tucking it in at the back of my ear. "You're done talking to Josh?" I answered with red cheeks. He leaned back on the couch and sighed with relief. "Yeah," he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "You're lucky to have him as your best friend babe. I
YOO-MI's POVJeonghan let out a loud growl as lunged into the air. His hands yanked the stranger's hoodie away as I heard a tearing sound and I caught a glimpse of a big scar on his face.It all happened very quick and there was no slowing of time.Jeonghan could have outrun this man or downed him with a single punch to the jaw but his opponent has a knife and Jeonghan haven't.The blade sliced through the air and there was a mix of sounds like a strangle muffle, the sharp rippling of fabric as the knife pierced Jeonghan's coat, the jagged edge plunged in deep his stomach.Jeonghan's hand went to his belly, lots of blood poured out and it was stained on his coat.And before he could throw a punch at the stranger, he pushed him hard making Jeonghan fall on the ground, his head smashed on a huge rock. He squeezed his eyes shut, my heart screamed as I watched him collapse and my eyes widened at the sight of blood pouring out from his head while he lied u
YOO-MI's POVI had lost counting of how many minutes, hours, and days passed while I was here in the hospital. Night had turned into day and vice versa. Jeonghan still hasn't woken up and the longer time passed by, the more it tortured me.I walked down the hall towards the room where they treated him and halted in front of the door when I saw his mom standing beside the bed gently, stroking his hair while crying softly.That sight shattered my heart all over again. She walked towards the door startling me. I still couldn't brace myself to speak to her. Once she stepped out of the room, she found me and I gulped feeling her stare.And that glare burning fire again, I stepped back as I tore my gaze away, and then she walked off leaving me. I looked down at the floor for a while before something inside me finally snapped. "Wait," I called her.When she turned around, tears were already streaming down my cheeks. "I'm sorry." I cried."Your sorry has noth
YOO-MI'S POVWhen Jeonghan closed his eyes again, I hurriedly went home and told mom and grandma the good news. Honey doesn't know about her father's condition yet. I was planning to tell her everything when Jeonghan was totally healed.I took a shower and freshened up myself. I know Jeonghan will wake up any time soon. I have to look beautiful in his eyes.I was so happy, so excited to see him again, to talk to him, hug him, kiss him. I bought a bouquet of flowers after I left the house. The nurse called me earlier and updated me on Jeonghan's progress.The moment I entered the room, I saw Jeonghan sitting on the bed and looking at me. He's awake. His face looked so pale and I want to burst into tears again when I saw his bandage around his head."Jeonghan,"I was so surprised when he got out of bed and ran towards me. I gasped and the bouquet of flowers I was holding loosened from my hand and fell on the floor.Then he captured my lips. I was so
