“‘Just by holding the bowling ball, how can he look so cool?’
Jaein couldn’t take her eyes off Dohyuk’s muscular arms exuding masculinity.
Dohyuk, taking a moment to catch his breath in front of the lane, finally assumed the proper posture and stylishly cut the first tape.
‘Uh? Uh, uh, uh!’
Jaein, watching Dohyuk’s ball with her eyes, suddenly had her mouth wide open. It was because, despite the energetic momentum as if he would strike, Dohyuk’s ball went straight into the gutter.
When everyone stared at him with disbelief, Dohyuk finally shrugged and said, ‘It’s my first time bowling.’
That should have been mentioned earlier.
‘Well, you should have some flaws to be human, right? If our team leader is good at bowling too, it would be too perfect, wouldn’t it?’
Jaein, who already had a solid defense, was amazed. Even after the bowling ball went into the gutter, Dohyuk, with his confident appearance, looked like a knight returning victoriously from the battlefield in Jaein’s eyes.
However, Park Manager, who had bowled a bit in his childhood, seemed to be greatly shocked by Dohyuk’s skill.
‘Oh dear, it hasn’t been a few days since I got my nails done!’
Nahee, who had been complaining about her ruined nails, gently rolled the bowling ball with both hands. Suddenly, Park Manager’s face turned pale.
It was truly a situation of misfortune piling on misfortune. Although Park Manager passionately approached bowling, displaying a side that could not be seen during normal work, he fell short of winning the bet by himself.
At least, with the excuse of frequently going to the bowling alley, he managed to exceed 90 points, and from the middle of the game, Dohyuk also avoided the gutter and hit the pins quite well, barely maintaining his dignity.
So, the first game was coming to an end.
Above the heads of the Product Planning Team 1, there were clouds of concern.
In contrast, the Product Planning Team 2 was a gathering of skilled players.
Minwoo humbly said it was his first time in a long while, but he scored three strikes.
Especially, Kyumin, showcasing a splendid spin technique, easily surpassed 150 points.
‘Team leader, fighting!’
‘Wow, Section Chief Han, the best!’
Every time Minwoo and Kyumin scored, Jaein cheered with high-fives.
Unaware of Dohyuk’s eyes twitching each time.
In the end, the first game ended with a complete victory for Product Development Team 2.
‘I have an urgent call. Can I take a short break?’
Dohyuk, checking his mobile phone, stood up with a stern expression.
‘Snacks, Park Manager, please take care of it.'”
“Yes, I understand.”
Handing his corporate card to Manager Park, Dohyuk glanced at Jaein for about 3 seconds and then went outside.
Huh?
Jaein blinked her eyes as she watched Dohyuk’s figure moving away.
‘Certainly… a sign?’
The textbook example of office romance, sneaking out during a company dinner to meet privately? That thrilling experience she always wanted to try someday?
Suppressing the urge to burst into laughter, Jaein bit her lips.
‘Team leader is something else, doing all these things. What if the team members find out?’
But still, Jaein couldn’t help but feel excited, wanting to be alone with Dohyuk as soon as possible.
Thinking that Dohyuk would be waiting outside, every minute and every second felt like an eternity.
Tense as if conducting a spy operation, she even broke into a cold sweat.
About ten minutes later.
“Come on, let’s have a refreshing drink!”
When the table was set with drinks, beer, and generous snacks, Manager Park satisfiedly gulped down the beer.
Even though everyone had just finished a meal and exercise, their hands eagerly reached for the food.
‘Now’s the time!’
Finally, the moment to escape arrived.
“Huh? Mom called?”
Taking advantage of everyone’s concentration on eating, Jaein pretended to make a phone call and secretly slipped away from her seat.
But then.
Surprisingly, when she came out into the corridor, Dohyuk, whom she thought would be waiting eagerly, was nowhere to be seen.
‘Did I come out too late? Where could he be?’
Jaein tilted her head, wandering around the corridor.
Bang!
Suddenly, the emergency exit door opened, revealing Dohyuk.
“Oh, Team Leader, you’re here?”
In joy, Jaein raised her voice, and Dohyuk’s eyes widened.
“Shh!”
Dohyuk put a finger to his lips, grabbed Jaein’s arm, and pulled her into the emergency exit.
Thud!
As soon as the door closed, Dohyuk asked, “Seo Jaein, what’s going on?”
“Team Leader, you waited for a long time, right? I sneaked out secretly because I thought you signaled me to come out…”
“Waited? When did I?”
Dohyuk asked with a puzzled look.
Jaein’s head throbbed for a moment.
“What? You gestured to me while leaving, saying you were going to make a call…”
“Me? When?”
“Just before that, you signaled me while leaving, didn’t you?”
Dohyuk burst into laughter.
“Nope. I was on the phone with Director Kim until a while ago.”
“Oh…”
Where’s a hole to crawl into?
Jaein felt so embarrassed that her face seemed to catch fire.
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.
