Sure, sure! What are the chances of meeting a man like Seong Jihun in the future?
While swallowing the words he wanted to say, Jaein smiled subtly.
“What do you want to order? Hmm… Do you like rucola pizza?”
“Anything. I don’t have an appetite.”
After seemingly regaining some strength, Yura slumped again.
“In that case, I’ll take care of the order. What do you want to drink? Ade? Coffee?”
“Team leader Cha.”
Yura mumbled with a sulky expression.
Why did she suddenly bring up someone else’s team leader while choosing a drink?
When Jaein unexpectedly heard the familiar voice in her ear, he turned around with a thumping heart.
There, with a bright smile, stood Dohyuk, who seemed to have just rushed out after a photo shoot. Beside him, looking equally stunned, was Sungjun, who had dressed exceptionally well.
How did it end up like this?
Despite the delicious food spread out before him, Jaein could only stare at it without much interest.
“Seo Team Leader? Why aren’t you eating and just watching?”
Dohyuk, sitting next to him, smiled widely and served food onto Jaein’s plate.
Perplexed, Jaein whispered, audible only to him, “Team Leader, are you going to a meeting with Director Kim?”
“I have to. Let’s eat first.”
“Why would you have that meal here, and why at the same table with me?”
“I think the food here is good. Besides, it’s more enjoyable to eat together.”
Jaein lost the will to speak at Dohyuk’s very natural response.
Jaein, still not accustomed to Dohyuk’s increasingly skillful pleading, whispered to himself, ‘Who can stop Cha Dohyuk? He probably planned this from the beginning, even giving me a ride.’
One hour ago.
Dohyuk, dismissing Jaein’s concerns, insisted on taking him to the promised location, claiming it was “on the way to a meeting with Sungjun.”
Then, he appeared with Sungjun and casually joined them, saying, “Since we’ve met like this, let’s eat together.”
Although he was smiling awkwardly as if trying to maintain peace, judging by his uncomfortable expression, it was clear that even Sungjun hadn’t expected this situation.
Next to him, Yura was pouring out her heart, trying to comfort herself with alcohol and expressing her resentment toward Sung Jihun.
Even after drinking several glasses of wine, she ordered a bottle and continued to drink. Sungjun looked quite embarrassed while dealing with Yura.
“Why does Director Kim look so much like Sung Jihun? It’s upsetting!”
“I’m sorry.”
“I try not to think about it, but the more I try, the more I remember. Just meet Sung Jihun already. I’ll break him!”
“…I’m sorry.”
What crime did Director Kim commit?
Jaein sent a pitiful gaze to Sungjun.
“Look at Director Kim being uncomfortable. What if Team Leader decides to act on his own?”
When Jaein gave a little complaint, Dohyuk, holding her ear, replied with a dissatisfied voice.
“Because Seo Jaein avoids me. Since last Friday night, she hasn’t even looked at me.”
“When did I…”
Jaein had no room for excuses.
Whenever she was with Dohyuk, she was too nervous and shaky, not knowing what to do, so she kept avoiding him.
“No, you don’t? Okay, then just look at my eyes straight for 10 seconds.”
“Fine, okay.”
“See, you can’t even do it now. Why are you like this?”
“…”
Thump, thump.
Throughout the time riding in Dohyuk’s car, Jaein’s heart tingled and felt suffocated. Now, the same symptoms were starting again.
Jaein, whose mouth was sealed, was dripping with sweat. At that moment, Yura, like a savior, spoke to Dohyuk with a bright face.
“Team Leader Cha, since we’re both men, can you talk to him once? Why does our Jihun oppa suddenly seem to have disappeared?”
“I’m sorry, but speaking frankly, he probably didn’t want to meet Yura because he doesn’t like her.”
Dohyuk immediately unleashed a second explosion without any hesitation.
Jaein and Sungjun’s eyes simultaneously widened in shock.
“Why is that?”
When Yura asked again, Dohyuk’s second explosion continued without a chance to stop it.
“Because he doesn’t like it.”
“Indeed, that’s how it is…”
Tears welled up in Yura’s eyes, as if they could burst into tears at any moment.
“This person! Who wouldn’t know that’s why I’m not saying anything?”
Poking Dohyuk’s side desperately, Jaein whispered quietly.
“What if you put it like that!”
“You have to tell her exactly. That way, she can get over it quickly.”
“Yes, understood. If Yura cries, it’s Team Leader’s responsibility.”
“What did I…”
Thud, thud.
As if waiting for it, tears fell drop by drop from Yura’s eyes.
Only then did Dohyuk seem sorry and apologized in embarrassment.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Yura. I didn’t mean to make you cry, just stating the objective facts… Oops!”
Jaein, surprised and worried, blocked Dohyuk’s mouth and shook her head vigorously.
With an intense gaze.
Team Leader, please, don’t say anything.
At that moment, Sungjun, who had been silently observing, raised his voice.
“It’s not because Ms. Choi Yura dislikes it! Absolutely not!”
All three people’s eyes turned to Sungjun.
An expression of realization briefly passed over Sungjun’s face.
Yura stared at Sungjun with reddened eyes.
“How would Director Kim know that? It’s not Sung Jihun… and he…”
“Uh, well, that’s true, but… Somehow, I thought Sung Jihun might have been like that too.”
Sungjun awkwardly laughed and emptied a cup of water at once.
Yura sniffled, pursing her lips.
“Don’t bother trying to comfort me. It’s even more pathetic when you do that.”
“I’m not trying to comfort you. Sung Jihun surely has circumstances beyond his control.”
“Right, right.”
Jaein nodded vigorously in agreement with Sungjun’s words.
Even Dohyuk, who was poked by Jaein, seemed to be sorry.
Finally, Yura chuckled and wiped away her tears.
“I’ve caused trouble for no reason on a pleasant Sunday. I’m sorry. Now that I’ve let it out, I feel a bit better.”
“No, it’s not that. Please cheer up.”
Sungjun looked at Yura with a complicated expression and said, “Right. Yura, a much better person than that strange guy will appear.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Suddenly, Yura rummaged through her bag, took out her cellphone, and made a call.
“It’s me, Mom. I’ll participate in the audition next week as you suggested.”
Audition?
Sungjun looked at Yura, surprised.
With a determined face, Yura continued, “Okay. I’ll do my best. If he’s as good as they say, we might even get married, right?”
“…!”
Yura declared bombastically.
And.
None of them noticed that Sungjun’s complexion suddenly darkened among them.
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.
