Do Han silently observed Sa Rang, whose gaze had fallen to the floor.
“Do you think so?”
She slowly raised her head.
A fleeting smile appeared on her lips, but there was a hint of moisture in her eyes.
Do Han felt his heart drop to the floor.
It was a creepy feeling he never wanted to experience again.
“Should I meet up with Yoon Jae?”
Sa Rang gave a slightly bigger smile.
Whether it was because of the fleeting moisture, her eyes sparkled.
“I’ll think about it. I don’t know if Yoon Jae really likes me.”
Do Han’s heart didn’t seem to have any intention of returning to its place.
Given that he couldn’t even respond and was just standing there in a daze.
“I’ll look into the project more and make a decision. We still have time. So, I’ll go first.”
Sa Rang, who had class in the engineering building, left him behind.
Without getting angry, crying, resenting, she just smiled beautifully as always.
Do Han almost collapsed right there.
His heart that fell on the ground was rolling around on the rough concrete.
Her invisible wounds and tears hurt him.
((())) ((())) ((()))
After having lunch with Ji Woo at the student union building, Sa Rang dashed home.
She had forgotten to bring the assignment due in the next class.
If she didn’t hurry, she would be late because her house was far.
While running as she was sweating, she thought she should move to a oneroom near school when she became a sophomore.
As soon as she got home, she grabbed the assignment and ran again without even catching her breath.
She managed to reach the classroom in time, but to her surprise,
There was no one.
Then she recalled that the professor had announced in the previous class that today was a day off.
Sa Rang’s legs gave out, and she plopped down onto a chair.
She had been forgetting many things these days as if she were absentminded.
Probably, it had been since she told Do Han that she would consider meeting Yoon Jae.
She hadn’t meant it.
It was something she said out of anger because she resented him for trying to pass her onto someone else.
At that moment, she decided to erase Do Han from her mind.
She vowed not to hold onto a person who didn’t like her any longer.
But why was it that he was still there, and everything else was forgotten?
Sa Rang sighed deeply, feeling lost as she looked at the empty classroom.
“Now what?”
If it was the last class of the day, she would have gone home, but there was one more left.
She decided to drink something first, so she struggled to get up.
She was parched because she had run without resting.
As she walked to the end of the hallway and turned the corner, a vending machine appeared.
Sa Rang bought a cool beverage and sat on a bench.
She gulped it down to quench her thirst when she heard two people’s voices coming from the direction she had come from.
It was a man and a woman.
They did not come any closer but stood there, exchanging words.
Sa Rang paused her drinking for a moment.
It sounded like Do Han, and then she heard the woman call his name.
“Do Han, will you go out with me?”
Surprised by the woman’s confession, Sa Rang inadvertently gripped the beverage can tightly.
She didn’t move in case they heard her.
“You don’t have a girlfriend now.”
The woman was quite assertive.
Sa Rang didn’t have the courage to hear Do Han’s response. She was going to quietly get up and go down the opposite staircase.
But she couldn’t move her legs.
Despite her uncertainty, she wanted to hear.
Sa Rang anxiously waited for his voice.
“I’m not thinking of dating anyone right now.”
Sa Rang felt a gust of wind in her chest at Do Han’s firmness, even as she felt relieved.
She felt like she had been rejected at the same time as the woman.
“When will you think about dating then? I’ll ask you out then.”
The woman seemed unfazed by the rejection.
She seemed to speak with a smile.
Sa Rang understood what Do Han had told her, listening to the woman’s response.
‘First boyfriend, first love, first kiss. It’s daunting if it’s the first time for the other party.’
Her head filled with nothing but Do Han, she had forgotten even her break, a freshman with no right to be his girlfriend.
There was a slight possibility if she passed it off as lightly as this woman.
“I don’t know either.”
“What the. Someone talks so annoyingly as if they’re scared of being bad.”
“Then what’s with asking me out while saying it’s bad.”
“Because such a man is attractive.”
Feeling Do Han chuckle, Sa Rang’s heart froze.
She was envious of the woman who could make him laugh at a time like this.
“Don’t you get hurt? Don’t you feel bad?”
“Over this? Why, did a child who got dumped by you get hurt? Did they swear because they feel bad?”
Do Han let out a small sigh, thinking of Sa Rang.
The sight of her trying to hold back her tears and smile in front of me a few days ago was haunting him, making him miserable.
“I hate that kind of thing. I hate women who make people uncomfortable by showing they’ve been dumped on their face. Don’t they have any pride?”
At the woman’s words, Sa Rang’s face flushed hot.
It felt like she was talking about herself.
She was so ashamed to have only shown such a side to Do Han until now.
They exchanged a few more words after that, but they couldn’t be heard mixed with the voices of passersby.
And she thought they had left the quiet hallway.
“What are you doing here?”
Surprised at Do Han’s voice heard right in front of her, Sa Rang raised her head.
The woman was gone and she was alone.
That was a relief.
If he had been with the woman, she would have looked more pitiful.
“Because it’s a day off.”
“Did you come without knowing?”
“I heard but forgot.”
“Are you going to stay here?”
“No. I’m about to go now.”
“Where to.”
Sa Rang could not answer.
Her mind was not free enough to think about where to go.
She stood up from her seat and met Do Han’s eyes.
“I’ll go see.”
“Where are you going.”
“I don’t know, me either.”
Sa Rang passed him by and turned the corner.
Do Han was at a loss as she seemed to have heard all the conversation just now.
He couldn’t hold her back and ask, nor could he explain.
He frowned in annoyance at being helpless when suddenly Sa Rang came back.
He watched her, looking angry with surprised eyes.
“Please relay something to that lady from before.”
“What?”
“Tell her it’s not because I don’t have any pride that I show on my face that I’ve been dumped. Even if I don’t want to show it, I like the man who dumped me so much that every time I see him, the lingering feelings unavoidably show. When you truly like someone, emotions don’t go the way you want. Please make sure to tell her.”
Sa Rang vented her pentup emotions and turned around.
On the other hand, Do Han was trembling as if the message was for him.
It was no different from another confession that she still liked me.
His heart understood first and raced like crazy.
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.
