But the melancholy feeling didn’t last long. She had to open the door when she heard that chicken that she hadn’t ordered arrived.
When receiving two chickens in a hasty manner, Kang-woo appeared. Then, holding onto the door, he calmly watched the delivery person disappear.
“Shall we go inside?”
Kang-woo pointed at the door with his finger.
“Let’s talk outside.”
Without letting go of the door, Kang-woo nodded his head.
“Since it’s chilly, put on a cardigan and come out.”
With an expression of conceding to persistence, Se-ah sighed and put on whatever clothes. Then she put on her shoes and completely stepped outside the front door when Kang-woo closed the door.
They both walked out of the communal entrance and stood under the streetlight in front of the parking lot.
Looking closely, it seemed like he had come directly from work. Perhaps he took a flight. Since it was obvious that showing interest would be interpreted as expected, Se-ah silently observed Kang-woo.
In just one day, he seemed to have loosened up a lot. Not only was his jacket unbuttoned, but even the buttons on his vest were open, revealing the white shirt tucked into his pants.
The bow tie was not only loosely undone but also hanging down to the chest, and the cuffs were rolled up.
Kang-woo, who had been looking down diagonally, put one hand in his pants pocket. A metal watch adorned the frame that bulged slightly.
“Why on earth do you keep coming like the day is too long? Are you trying to relieve your guilt? Because you lied to Kang-woo and ran away?”
It would be right to scratch her heart with the same sharp gaze and emotionless voice as yesterday. However, he just looked down while asleep. Come to think of it, not only his appearance but also his gaze had become gentle.
“It’s colder than I thought.”
Kang-woo took off his jacket and put it on Se-ah’s shoulders. When she tried to take it off immediately, Kang-woo grabbed Se-ah’s shoulders to prevent her.
“Let go.”
“Just wear it. Don’t unnecessarily weaken yourself.”
Nodding with an awkward face, Kang-woo let go of his hand. Suppressing her emotions, Se-ah looked at Kang-woo calmly.
“Kang-woo, please don’t come looking for me anymore. I’ll probably seem shameless for saying this.”
“I’m the shameless one.”
“…What does that suddenly mean?”
Her heart pounded. It was definitely different from yesterday.
“Were you unable to tell me sooner? Couldn’t you just tell me and trust me, even if it meant deceiving me?”
“…”
“Running away might have been easier than telling the truth, for you.”
“Kang-woo, I don’t know where you heard those words”
“Why are you making judgments alone? Why can’t you believe that I willingly fight for you? Am I still that unbearable to you? You might not know how I was all this time.”
The calm tone and composed expression that continued steadily collapsed.
“I’ve tried my best, even to the point of death. I went off course once, but I wanted to catch you at any cost.”
Under the streetlight, his jawline had become so sharp that it wasn’t embarrassing. As the eyes around his reddened pupils became moist, tears also filled Se-ah’s eyes.
“But do you think leaving me, turning everything upside down, is better than speaking the truth? Are you already tired of me?”
“…Yes. Now, I’m, done. If I love Kang-woo, the more I love, the more I feel small. Sometimes… I hated myself more than my harsh father while enduring such hardships just to be with Kang-woo.”
Se-ah quickly took off her jacket and handed it to Kang-woo. Holding his hand without a flinch, she calmly took the jacket and handed it over.
“Just forget Kang-woo and go back to your place. I no longer love Kang-woo enough to endure another dreadful time. So, this time, I truly want to end it.”
Her lips might have seemed strange, possibly holding back tears and enduring to suppress her crying, but she smiled calmly, giving her best. This appearance would be the last scene left for him.
Turning away from him, she left him in a daze. Kang-woo, who had run towards her in one step, grabbed Se-ah’s shoulders and pulled her back.
“I was exaggerating when I said I had given up on life. I can do better. I promise not to let you suffer again.”
A low voice urgently grabbed her. Se-ah, still held tightly by Kang-woo, felt his lips on her neck.
“I can’t laugh, and life has no meaning without you.”
“……. ”
“It has to be you, please. Huh?”
Tears welled up, and Se-ah turned around. She released his tightly held hand and took a step back. When Kang-woo tried to hold her again, Se-ah raised her hand to stop him.
“It was the words I’ve been hoping for for nine years. The words I’ve waited for like a dream. But now… it seems too late.”
Parting words spoken in a gentle tone seemed strangely venomous, and Kang-woo stood there as if nailed, unable to move.
Leaving him alone, Se-ah turned her back.
Through the gap in the door, rain rushed in. Cold raindrops fell on Se-ah’s forehead as she writhed on the bed.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
