YOO-MI’s POV
My head was spinning like crazy and I could hear my own heavy breathing. My eyelids flickered and when I tried to open my eyes, a sharp pain hit my head so I squeezed my eyes shut again.Before I could muster the energy to open my eyes, I was splashed with cold water on my face. I gasped and my eyes snapped open.My vision gradually came back to me. I realized now that I was trapped in a place, in a dirty warehouse and all I see were two men and a woman.I was sitting but I couldn’t move my body. Fear engulfed me and my body shuddered. I have no energy that I couldn’t move and I was tied on a chair, my wrists and legs were tied. My hands were shaking when I tried to move them, feeling the harsh rope burn my skin the more I try to free my hands from it.I snapped my head up to see the person who just splashed the water in me and I was right, it was Brittany.She ditched the can of water on the ground before turning her backJOSH’s POVThe atmosphere in Maldives was too different from Seoul. Few people walking along the way, the air is so fresh, waters everywhere.The island looked exactly like those images floating across your screen—bright sun, transparent blue lagoons, house reef teeming with fish, sand beaches that stretched out into nothing but miles and miles of turquoise waters, and blue skies.A tropical paradise indeed, but I’m not here for a vacation. I came here to fetch the person I’ve never got the chance to see for almost a year now, my dad.The car that took me from the airport pulled up in a huge hotel and I immediately climbed out and entered inside and asked the information desk for my father’s room number.I knocked three times and a lady in white opened the door, his private nurse. “Yes sir, what I can I do for you?”“I am Philip Hong’s son.”As soon as I entered dad’s roo
JOSH’s POV“Did you get her? Good,” Brittany hung up the phone and faced me. “So now that they have taken Yoo-Mi, you have to wait for the car in front of that building.” She pointed to the tall building at the back of her house. “And get inside the black car once it stopped. See you in the warehouse.”And she left me alone in the house. When I saw her drive her way out, I hurriedly ran upstairs and unlocked her room. I opened the secret vault pressing the password that dad gave me.I gathered all the documents that were signed by her and Mr. Lee with dad’s approval. The documents that they signed in merging our companies. When I got all I needed, I stormed out of the room and climbed down the stairs.I ran towards the kitchen and opened the backdoor to look for the building that Brittany ordered me to wait but my eyes darted on the beautiful view right in front of me. The whole backyard was arranged for a wedding,
YOO-MI’s POVI whimpered, tears rolling down my cheeks as I felt Josh's warm embrace wrapped around my body. He’s crying too, I could feel it the way his shoulders shook.“Josh?” I whispered and he pulled me closer. I closed my eyes and another tear fell on my cheek. This was all too painful to me, seeing him betray me made me want to slap him hard across his face.How did he do this to me? All I did was love him as my best friend. I never thought he could do something like this, to kidnap and let me abuse by a stranger. I gave all my trust and love to him that even Honey loved him like her own father.I shook my head slowly as I remembered my daughter and my eyes suddenly darted on Brittany and she was watching us murderously. “Josh!” she called out. “Get away from her!”“No!”“Get the fuck away from her, or she’ll die!” Brittany pointed the gun at my temple and I squeezed
YOO-MI’s POVI groaned softly as I felt my head and muscles ache. My eyes flickered, trying to open my eyes but the blinding light made me wince.“Yoo-Mi?”Slowly I opened my eyes again and I saw white and nothing else. But then my vision gradually became clearer.It’s a white ceiling.My gaze traveled around the surrounding, rays of sunlight coming through the window. I’m in a hospital room.My eyes widened when I remember what happened. I clutched my head hoping the pain would recede.“Josh!” I screamed, the heart monitor began to beep faster.“Babe,” Jeonghan’s hoarse voice made me turn my head, and I found him sitting beside my bed, staring at me with teary eyes. He came closer and pressed his lips into mine “You’re awake.” He broke into a smile. “How are you feeling?” he asked after pulling away from the hug.I’m still trying to absorb wha
YOO-MI’S POVThe next morning, I was back inside Josh’s room and Jeonghan was out to grab some food at the hospital’s cafeteria. As I glued myself onto the chair beside Josh’s bed, Yeri’s eyes glued at me too but I didn’t look on her way even once.I only want to be with Josh and it’s like that I couldn’t be away from him even just for a moment.I held Josh’s hand in mine, caressing it. “Josh,” I whispered. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you were hurt because of me, that you would have to go through all of this saving me.”I heard Yeri scoff but I ignored her. I watched Josh sleeping, his chest heaving up and down in a steady rhythm.Then I felt a small movement inside my hand and my heart thudded. Josh's eyes furrowed, and I immediately leaned closer to him.Yeri ran towards us and stopped at the other side of the bed, leaned closer to Josh too, her eyes glared at me.
YOO-MI’s POVI was waiting for Jeonghan in Josh’s room while Yeri went out to buy coffee. As soon as I heard the door open, I immediately turned around and was disappointed to see Yeri enter inside.“Yeri, did you see Jeonghan?” I asked her and she shook her head sadly.Where are you Jeonghan? I glanced at my wristwatch and realized he's been away for two hours already. Suddenly I got worried, thinking that something happened to him, but quickly whisked the dreadful thought and borrowed Yeri’s phone to send him a text message.I waited for five minutes but he didn’t reply. “Yeri, can I call him?” I asked and she nodded with a smile.“Sure.”I dialed his number but his voice mail answered it. Once again, I waited for another couple of minutes and almost dropped the phone when I heard the message tone, however, relief crossed my face when I saw that the text message came from him.Though it
JEONGHAN’S POV“Babe, I’ll just grab us some food. What do you want to eat?” I asked Yoo-Mi as she leaned her head on the headboard, my hands holding hers.“I don’t want anything Jeonghan.” She answered softly and I instantly got worried. She hasn’t been eating anything ever since she was brought here to the hospital.“You have to eat, or you’ll get weak.” I convinced her, she seemed indisposed.“Okay, just get anything you want.”I dropped a hurried kiss on her forehead and walked towards the door. “I’ll be right back.”“Jeonghan—“ she called out. “Can you accompany me to Josh’s room? I want to see him.”Josh again. I was very grateful that Josh saved Yoo-Mi, but the fact that she always thinks about him and didn’t want to leave his side makes my heart ripped with jealousy. I hate it! I hate it that she’s
JEONGHAN’S POVI pulled up in front of the Seoul police station and was about to climb down the car when my phone rings again. I had declined all Cheol’s calls because I knew he’s with Yoo-Mi but it was now dad who was calling me.“Dad?” I picked up his call.“Jeonghan where are you?” his voice is dangerously calm but I don’t give a fuck.“Out. If Yoo-Mi called you, tell her we had emergency errands to run in the office.”“What? But I am here in her room right now! Where are you?” he shouted, his voice was hoarse.“I don’t care, dad! Just tell her anything!” I shouted back, frustrated.“Jeonghan!”“Okay fine, I’m here in Seoul police station. I’m going to talk to Brittany.” I heaved a sigh. “Call you later dad. Bye!”“Jeonghan, don’t hang up on me! Jeonghan!”...
