A Relentless Senior (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 7
Hye Ri approached the two of them.
Seeing her, Do Han stopped abruptly and said nothing, so Hye Ri avoided his gaze and explained why she had come here.
“I had dinner with some friends from school earlier. Sorry for bothering you on the weekend.”
“Wait. I’ll go get the car keys.”
“Okay.”
Do Han told Sa Rang she could head inside now and walked into the studio apartment building.
Just as Sa Rang was about to turn and head home, Hye Ri called out to her.
“Are you two dating?”
Looking into Hye Ri’s clear eyes, which held no trace of malice, Sa Rang shook her head.
“No. We just went somewhere together for a group project.”
“Oh, I see. I saw you with him last time too, so I thought you must be his girlfriend.”
Hye Ri smiled, following Sa Rang’s awkward laugh.
“You seem like a freshman. You two must be really close. He usually doesn’t get that friendly with first- or second-year girls.”
Hye Ri’s eyes landed on the cardigan Do Han had lent Sa Rang. For some reason, Sa Rang felt strange.
Though Hye Ri didn’t seem to mean anything by it, her gaze bothered Sa Rang—and her words somehow sounded sarcastic.
An inexplicable urge not to lose surfaced in Sa Rang.
“But you’re close with Do Han Oppa, aren’t you?”
She remembered from Tae Hoon that Hye Ri was a second-year.
Sa Rang couldn’t hide the irritation flickering in her expression—why bring this up now?
Hye Ri seemed to read her mood and gave a faint smile.
“Are we really that close?”
“If you came all the way here just to ask him for a ride home, that counts as close, doesn’t it?”
Hye Ri looked thoughtful for a moment, then nodded slowly.
“That’s true, but ‘close’ doesn’t quite capture it.”
Sa Rang’s heart started beating faster.
Did they used to date?
She couldn’t bring herself to ask directly about their relationship—but Hye Ri spoke first, murmuring quietly.
“We’re deeply involved.”
For a split second, one corner of Hye Ri’s mouth seemed to curl upward before instantly returning to an angelic smile.
“I think that’s the best way to put it.”
Sa Rang wondered if she’d imagined it.
That shocking remark must have scrambled her vision too—
She stood frozen, unable even to blink.
While she stood there dazed, Do Han came down the stairs of the building.
Seeing him, Hye Ri crinkled her eyes prettily and gave Sa Rang a final farewell.
“See you again sometime, then.”
Sa Rang managed to turn her head.
Do Han opened the passenger door of his car parked in front of the building, and she watched as Hye Ri got in.
He started the engine and drove off shortly after getting into the driver’s seat.
Even after they disappeared from view, Sa Rang couldn’t bring herself to leave.
***
Sunday evening traffic brought the roads to a standstill.
It usually took only twenty minutes by car to reach Kyung Chul’s place, but they’d already been stuck for thirty.
“I thought about taking the subway, but then Dad would probably call you and give you a lecture again.”
Hye Ri’s voice filled the quiet car.
She’d been chattering like this since they’d left.
Do Han hadn’t said a word, yet she kept talking softly on her own.
She explained that some friends from the military had come home on leave and gathered tonight; everyone had urged her not to leave early since it’d been so long—but she excused herself early, worried her dad would get anxious.
She hadn’t even had more than a few drinks, but if her dad found out, he’d scold her.
While she rambled on, Do Han simply drove in silence,
as if that were his only job.
“Earlier, that freshman said she was with you for a project.”
His eyes, which had been utterly expressionless until then, flickered briefly.
Hye Ri, who’d been watching him closely, instantly caught that fleeting shift.
“Why didn’t you just lend her your car? Public transport is such a hassle.”
“It’s the car Dad bought so I could drive you around.”
It was the first thing he’d said since getting in the car.
Hye Ri, who’d been talking alone nonstop, was glad to hear his voice—but the sharp edge in his words dimmed her expression.
“Sorry. If I were just a little healthier, you wouldn’t have to go through this trouble. I’ll be fine one moment, then suddenly can’t catch my breath—it’s scary not knowing when it’ll happen again. Dad must be worried sick too.”
When they reached Kyung Chul’s house, Do Han pulled over without a word.
“Go inside.”
Hye Ri opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.
She’d hoped he might come in and greet her dad—but that was a foolish thought.
“Thanks for the ride. Drive safely.”
As soon as she stepped out, Do Han drove off immediately.
To him, it was a place he didn’t want to linger in even a second longer.
After all, he’d only left that house under the condition that he attend the same university as Hye Ri.
Four years—he’d promised Kyung Chul he’d repay his debt by playing the role of an older brother until she graduated.
Because the memory of the day he’d wronged his younger sibling remained unbearably vivid.
Strangely, at this very moment, Sa Rang came to mind.
The image of her smiling brightly beneath the winter jasmine tree, which he’d captured with his phone camera, now felt like an old black-and-white photograph—something from a distant past.
Maybe it had all been a dream.
Because that kind of beauty simply didn’t belong in his reality.
Neither the vivid winter jasmine flowers nor Lee Sa Rang herself.
***
As soon as she got home, Sa Rang splashed cold water on her face and sat dazed in the middle of her room.
She didn’t know how much time had passed like that.
Ji Woo burst through the door and ran straight to her.
“Sa Rang! I have a boyfriend now!”
Jolted back to reality by the exciting news, Sa Rang pulled Ji Woo off her and asked.
She’d long known who her friend liked.
“You’re dating Tae Hoon Oppa?”
“Yeah! Turns out he liked me too.”
“Really? That’s great! Congratulations, Ji Woo!”
Sa Rang was genuinely happy, as if it were her own news.
Hope unexpectedly stirred within her about relationships with a six-year age gap—
Since she and Do Han shared the exact same age difference, maybe such love wasn’t entirely impossible after all.
“Thanks! I feel bad for having a boyfriend before you, though.”
“What’s there to feel bad about? I’ll find someone soon too.”
“Do you like someone?”
Ji Woo, who’d been beaming just seconds ago, suddenly stopped smiling.
Seeing Sa Rang hesitate, Ji Woo realized she really did have someone in mind.
When Ji Woo insisted on hearing it, Sa Rang finally gave in.
“…Do Han Oppa.”
Ji Woo blinked slowly, then tilted her head in confusion.
“Do Han Oppa?”
“Yeah.”
“You don’t mean Tae Hoon’s friend—Ji Do Han from Computer Science, second-year?”
“Yes.”
After Ji Woo repeated it several times in disbelief, she froze for a moment, then raised her voice.
“No way! Why Do Han Oppa of all people?”
“Then why Tae Hoon Oppa for you?”
“He’s thoughtful! Kind and warm-hearted!”
“Do Han Oppa is like that too.”
“Who is? Are you really talking about the Ji Do Han I know?”
Even as Sa Rang nodded firmly, Ji Woo couldn’t believe it.
The Do Han she knew never spoke unless necessary and always wore an icy expression.
Thoughtful? Kind? Warm-hearted?
None of those words fit him at all—what on earth was Sa Rang talking about?
“Sa Rang, that nickname ‘relentless’ isn’t for nothing. People call him that for a reason.”
Ji Woo went on to repeat rumors she’d heard from senior girls, tearing Do Han down.
He was a playboy who accepted every confession.
A jerk who never once said “I love you” during a relationship.
And when his girlfriend finally left from exhaustion, he never tried to hold her back—truly relentless.
“You remember what Tae Hoon Oppa told you before, right?”
“Yeah—that Do Han Oppa isn’t a playboy.”
Frustrated that Sa Rang only remembered that part, Ji Woo nearly shouted.
“I mean the other part! That he never tells his girlfriend ‘I love you’—ever!”
“Maybe he has his reasons.”
“What?”
“Maybe there’s a good reason for it. And does he really have to say it out loud? Can’t you just feel it without words?”
Ji Woo was speechless.
Sa Rang clearly meant it—she was defending him.
What was she going to do with this naive Lee Sa Rang?
In dramas, kind-hearted girls always ended up falling for the wrong guys.
She never imagined her own friend would become one of them.
“Don’t worry. Even if I like Do Han Oppa, he has zero interest in me. To him, I’m just a freshman—not even a woman.”
“That’s a relief, then. If he saw you as a woman, he’d be a real piece of work with no conscience.”
While Ji Woo grumbled, Sa Rang thought back to Do Han, whom she’d just parted from.
Naturally, Hye Ri’s face—whom she’d met right in front of her house—flashed before her eyes.
Her words were etched into Sa Rang’s heart and wouldn’t fade.
“Hey, Ji Woo.”
“What now? What else?”
Worried something even more shocking might come, Ji Woo asked with anxious eyes.
“I just ran into that senior.”
“What senior? Who?”
“You know—the literature major second-year Do Han Oppa knows. We met her in front of the engineering building before.”
“You mean Senior Park Hye Ri?”
“You remember her name too?”
“Well, it’s pretty. Anyway, you met her?”
“Yeah.”
Sa Rang couldn’t shake the image of Hye Ri smiling at her from her mind.
The scene of her getting into Do Han’s car seemed burned into her vision—she saw it even when she closed her eyes.
“Today, that senior told me something.”
“What did she say?”
“That she and Do Han Oppa are ‘deeply involved.’”
Ji Woo’s mouth fell open.
“What could that possibly mean, Ji Woo?”
Ji Woo couldn’t form words for a long time.
But when Sa Rang kept waiting stubbornly for an answer, Ji Woo reluctantly shared her cautious guess.
“Maybe… you know… something like that?”
“Like what?”
Meeting Sa Rang’s pure, expectant eyes made Ji Woo hesitate again.
“Well, you know… like sleep partners?”
“Huh? P-partners?”
“Yeah. Something like that.”
“No way. We’re university students!”
“We’re adults—it’s possible.”
Sa Rang’s heart raced as if she’d heard something scandalous.
She’d assumed “deeply involved” meant they loved each other—
That they couldn’t officially date due to some hidden, tragic reason.
She’d never once considered Ji Woo’s interpretation: that they were sexual partners.
But now that she’d heard it, it seemed closer to the truth.
“Sa Rang, just give up on Do Han Oppa.”
Ji Woo had already disliked Do Han, but now that Hye Ri was involved, she felt her goodwill vanish entirely.
“No matter how I look at it, he’s just wrong for you. Aren’t there plenty of other guys at our school?”
“Don’t you remember what you said on the orientation day—that you’d approve if I dated a guy like Do Han Oppa?”
Ji Woo instantly recognized him as that very guy when Tae Hoon introduced them.
She’d even recommended Sa Rang try dating someone that handsome, if she had the chance.
“Well… that was just based on looks!”
Unable to take back her words, Ji Woo cleared her throat awkwardly.
“You’d be better off with that sports major.”
“Why’s Yoon Jae suddenly coming up now?”
“Because anyone’s better than Do Han Oppa!”
“Fine. Let’s just go to sleep.”
“Seriously, why Do Han Oppa of all people—and as your first love, too?”
Sa Rang didn’t even have the energy to sit up straight.
As she changed clothes to go to bed, she suddenly remembered that today was important for Ji Woo.
“Don’t get worked up over me. Today’s your Day One with Tae Hoon Oppa. Congratulations again, my friend.”
Ji Woo felt sorry for Sa Rang, who was forcing a smile.
Still, she desperately hoped—again and again—that things between Sa Rang and Do Han would never work out.
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.
