In a cafe somewhere in Seoul.
Sori had someone to meet secretly, without Hyun Woo’s knowledge.
It was Cha Na Jung.
After learning about Hyun Woo’s forgotten schedule, Sori left the lab and immediately arranged a meeting over the phone.
Although Sori initiated the contact, Na Jung chose the meeting place.
The cafe, located in a secluded area, was quiet both inside and out.
Even though she was a bit scared knowing Na Jung’s true nature, Sori walked into the cafe with composure.
Na Jung, who had arrived first, was sitting at a window table, drinking a beverage. She recognized Sori immediately and gave her a cold look.
Despite Na Jung’s sophisticated appearance, Sori couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity for her.
“It’s good to see you again.”
“We’re not exactly on friendly terms. Sit down.”
Na Jung, arms crossed, stared intently at Sori, who didn’t shy away from her gaze.
After a moment of intense staring, Sori broke the silence.
“I wanted to meet to make my intentions clear.”
“Get to the point.”
“I have no intention of withdrawing the complaint. And Professor Seo feels the same.”
“Ours?”
Na Jung’s face contorted at the unexpected focus of the conversation.
“No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much you pressure us through hospital authorities, we will not withdraw the complaint. So, stop bothering them.”
Na Jung, apparently unfazed by this, leaned back comfortably and asked.
“How about this then? I’ll spread rumors about you two living together, doing all sorts of things secretly. Can you both show your faces then?”
Sori was momentarily taken aback by this unexpected attack.
“But there’s nothing strange about a married couple living together, is there?”
“Married?”
“What. Maybe thanks to you, our secret marriage might come out.”
“Married?”
Na Jung’s eyes wavered at the mention of a legal relationship.
“We haven’t had a wedding. That can’t be.”
“Nowadays, many start living together before the wedding. We just postponed our ceremony due to circumstances.”
Na Jung seemed more shocked by the marriage claim than the refusal to withdraw the lawsuit.
“Now that you know this, I don’t need to beat around the bush.”
“You, what do you think you’re doing to me!”
“Yes, I’m just an ordinary person. But I really love a man named Seo Hyun Woo.”
Na Jung’s face reddened with anger.
“I don’t want to do anything that would make the person I love unhappy or suffer. Withdrawing the complaint under pressure from higher-ups is something my man would definitely not want.”
Manager Park singled out Sori among the residents that morning, telling her not to make a fuss. This felt like pressure to withdraw the lawsuit.
Upon hearing this, Hyun Woo explosively confronted Manager Park.
“Hey!”
“I’ve liked him for 9 years. Maybe even longer since I was very young.”
“I don’t know how much you think you like Professor Seo, but that’s not liking someone. That’s harassing and making life miserable.”
Sori wanted to say this. She had to.
“True liking means worrying every day, every hour, every moment, about how that person might be doing.”
“…”
“Liking someone is like that, Cha Na Jung.”
“…”
“You know what he wants, right, Cha Na Jung?”
“What would I know?”
“You do know. That’s why you couldn’t face Seo Hyun Woo and vented your anger on me instead.”
“There was something I didn’t understand before. Sometimes, distancing yourself is the best way to care for someone.”
Na Jung’s eyes were already brimming with tears of defeat.
“Now I understand it. It seems like the exact thing you need, Cha Na Jung.”
“…”
“I hope you don’t become someone Seo Hyun Woo never wants to remember again.”
Saying this harsh truth, Sori hoped Na Jung would naturally fade from his memory.
While Sori felt a tiny bit of sympathy for Na Jung’s obsessive unrequited love, she chose not to show it. The approach had been wrong.
Having said her piece, Sori stood up and left.
Tears fell from Na Jung’s dimmed eyes.
The cool night breeze soothed Sori’s flushed face.
It had been a while since she last walked at night.
Wandering through an unfamiliar neighborhood, Sori calmed her racing heart.
After confronting Na Jung and saying things she hadn’t even thought of, she felt surprisingly relieved.
She had never poured out her feelings for Hyun Woo so candidly to someone else.
It was a first.
The tension eased instantly, and even her legs felt wobbly.
Then, she remembered the conversation with Hyun Woo from a few hours ago.
‘I like you, Professor.’
Her playful response to his teasing question was actually a shy confession of her true feelings.
Of course, she regretted it immediately.
‘Sori, are you acting up because you don’t want to go home? You’re being quite the slippery eel these days.’
His voice still echoed in her ears, bringing a natural smile to her face and a twinkle to her eyes.
It was okay if he didn’t know her feelings, and okay if he teased her.
Strangely, everything about Seo Hyun Woo was fine with her.
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.
