“But still, look. You can see my face. We can meet, right? I’m already looking forward to it.”
[……Yeah. That’s right. Now I can really see you, Haru.]“Yeah…”
[That comment just now meant ‘come quickly.’]Yeah, I’ll come quickly. I answered in my mind.
Even with Jun urging me why I wasn’t responding, I diverted the conversation, saying that I’m busy with work. But Jun would understand. My eagerness to rush over and be embraced by you in your arms, he would know.
While fixing my gaze on the monitor and tapping the vending machine to get my monthly salary, suddenly, the sound of a chair rapidly rolling from behind echoed. Startled by the vivid sensation of speed, I turned my back and saw a chair quickly rolling towards me.
I almost screamed. At that moment, Jung Eun sat on a chair, and like a person with wheels attached to their feet, she rolled her feet vigorously and stopped right in front of me. She’s the one who used to nag at me, saying how hard it was for her to get up from the chair.
“Ah, Seo Jeong-eun. You scared me. Why are you doing that too?”
“You followed me. Why are you so surprised?”
“That’s right. I was surprised because you followed me.”
“Ah, right.”
I turned my head back to the monitor, trying to soothe my surprised self. But then, at that moment, right away, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
“If I were Director Kim, I couldn’t date you because you’re so frustrating.”
“……Huh?”
“Look at that expression of not knowing anything again.”
“Well… I don’t know what you’re talking about because I don’t know anything.”
“I wonder how frustrated Director Kim would be every time he sees you making that expression.”
“We have no problems, so why are you saying that? We’re meeting well and beautifully.”
“The person who recently filmed ‘Sending Because I Love You’ doesn’t seem to have anything to say.”
“……. ”
Even though I quickly understood, it’s a moment when both I and Jung Eun, who convinces me well, become annoying.
“You. If the movie shooting starts in Japan this time, do you think you can see each other often?”
“……Of course, we’ll see each other much more often than now.”
“Ending the sentence with the assumption of seeing each other often is the problem with what I’m saying.”
“Then I’ll see you often. Is it okay?”
“I don’t know the meaning of the words. Haru is still not good at it. Since Kim Jun’s house will be used as a shooting location, there will be various staff members around all day. They said they would keep your relationship a secret until the end of the movie shoot. So you won’t show any signs. Moreover, the assistant director has already booked separate accommodations. It won’t be easy for you two to spend time together, as you think, right?”
“……Well, that’s true. But still, well, I’m happy just to see your face. And besides, there will be occasional opportunities. Opportunities for you two to meet.”
“That attitude of passing it off as ‘there will be’ is the source of the problem. I wonder how frustrated Director Kim must be. No, because he has much more experience in shooting. No. So he’ll probably be frustrated alone again. It’s obvious.”
Since earlier, Jung kept saying that Jun would be frustrated because of me, that he would be frustrated and upset. I looked at Jung Eun, who kept speaking incomprehensible words, with eyes filled with sadness.
“You. You should be endlessly grateful for having a good friend like me as a colleague. Understand?”
“……Huh?”
“I’m close with the assistant director, so I checked the reservation list for the accommodations in advance. But it’s totally in the countryside there. There are mainly high-end accommodations like ryokans because it’s a seaside village. Even the accommodations I booked this time are just ordinary mansions rented out for tourists.”
I still didn’t know why Jung Eun was ranting for so long or what she wanted to say.
“So what I’m saying is, the staff accommodations are scattered all over the place. Japanese houses are small, and there aren’t many crowded accommodations.”
“Ah… Yeah. But why is that?”
Even though I didn’t say anything, Jung Eun’s forehead narrowed again. Maybe she’s dissatisfied even if I add remarks.
With someone as oblivious as you, Director Kim probably hasn’t said a word until now. It turns out that the accommodation assigned to me is close to the luxurious house rented by Kim Jun. So, I swapped my accommodation with yours.”
“Ah…”
“Do you get it now? So, when you arrive, leave your luggage at that accommodation, and during the shooting period, you two can stay together at Kim Jun’s place.”
Now, the writing that I had blown onto the window seemed to hide in the warm heat, gradually revealing itself. The words Jung Eun threw with a pouty tone felt like they suddenly made sense.
Unconsciously, a smile that couldn’t openly spread across my face because of embarrassment appeared.
“Director Kim should give me an award. I’ve achieved quite a lot.”
With her lips stretched sideways, Jung Eun returned to her place.
I laughed heartily, thinking that what Jung Eun just said was so valid. Ah, it’s not the position for me to laugh. I couldn’t help but establish that achievement even if Jung Eun didn’t want it.
After work, when I arrived home, my mind was busy thinking about calling Jun. Honestly, what Jung Eun said today kept bothering me.
‘How frustrated must Director Kim be all alone.’
Ah, right. She said something else. ‘If I were Director Kim, I couldn’t date you.’
Kim Jun, just tell me directly instead of indirectly saying that I’m clueless. Since I can already imagine the situation at the shooting site, you should openly say it instead of mentioning it secretly. That’s right, Kim Jun…
A regretful feeling lingered on the fingertip pressing the green button. The dial tone began. However, Jun didn’t answer the first and second calls.
I lay on the bed in disappointment. Jung Eun’s words came to mind again. Kim Jun, are you really frustrated dating me?
The feeling of one of your emotions that I couldn’t figure out began to press heavily on my chest.
Then, the phone, which had been quiet, rang. It was Jun. A big smile began to dominate my face, overshadowing the earlier thoughts.
“Jun.”
“Yeah. So now I’m going to commute to your heart quickly.”
[Pft, sure. Lately, you’ve been too lazy at work. It makes me lonely.]Although it was a tongue-in-cheek remark, it was swallowed inside without reaching the tip of the tongue. Since Jun is well aware of the situation where we have no choice but to be apart, he must feel sorry for it.
“Yeah. So, I’m trying to make up a little.”
Jun chuckled.
[How are you going to make up for it?]It seemed to contain a bit of expectation.
“I’m planning to make it up during the movie shooting this time.”
[Yeah.]Jun’s expectation didn’t seem as high as I wanted it to be.
“How? I’m planning to stay in the same accommodation as you.”
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.
