Jaein and Dohyuk simultaneously gulped, swallowing their saliva.
The memories of last night were still vivid for the two.
Jaein, pierced by the words, spoke with a serious expression,
“Uh, Mom! How can two people sleep together in my room?”
“Who said anything about sleeping together?” Mom added with an incredulous expression,
“Of course, your room is given to Cha Seobang (Dohyuk), and you should sleep in the opposite room. How can you ask Seojae (Jaein) to sleep in the guest room?”
“Ah, so that’s what you meant…” Overreacted for nothing. Jaein couldn’t lift his head as his face flushed with embarrassment.
In the meantime, Dad came out of the main bedroom with bedding, giving it to Jaein, and sternly advised,
“Jaein, make sure to lock the door when you sleep, understood?”
“Huh?”
“Men are all wolves. You must be careful no matter what.”
“Dad!”
With a guarded look, Dad glared at Dohyuk and then, with a tormented expression, went into the bedroom. Leaving embarrassment to Jaein.
“Why is that guy, Cha Seobang, acting so uncomfortably? He keeps making comments. Cha Seobang, do you feel upset because it seems like Dad is losing his daughter?”
“Not at all. I’m fine.”
“Well then, good night, Cha Seobang. Sleep well, Jaein.”
When Mom went into the room, an awkward silence filled the air when only the two of them were left.
“Ah, let me show you the room.”
Jaein hastily opened the door.
A simple room with a wooden desk, bookshelf, small wardrobe, and bed caught their eyes.
“Isn’t it a room that suits Seojae? I’m not good at decorating.”
“So it’s even better, isn’t it? Much better than the suite room.”
Jaein’s heart fluttered at Dohyuk’s words full of affection.
Jaein’s heart fluttered at Dohyuk’s words full of affection.
Dohyuk wandered around the room and sat on the bed.
“Seo Jaein slept here?” he asked.
“…Yes. It’s my bed.”
Seo Jaein, why are you so nervous?
The team leader just confirmed the facts.
With Dohyuk sitting on my bed, Jaein couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation.
His eyes kept going to Dohyuk’s hand stroking the mattress.
Because he knew too well how soft and warm it was.
He felt his face heating up.
At this rate, he might reveal his feelings to Dohyuk, so Jaein quickly changed the subject.
“Team leader, but really, did you come down because I said I missed you?”
“Of course.”
“Did you really take a helicopter? No way, right?”
“Yeah. I told Yeonji it’s a waste of money, so I just took the train.”
Luckily, Yeonji was next to me, being rational.
Jaein asked with a wry smile, “How did you know the location? I didn’t even mention Grandma’s 80th birthday party.”
“Seo Jaein, because I couldn’t reach you, I asked Director Kim.”
“Oh, right! I’ve had a lot of missed calls. I’m sorry. Were you frustrated?”
Busy running around for the 80th birthday celebration, I had no time to check my phone.
But there was still a question.
“Huh? But I haven’t told Director Kim, either?”
“So, Director Kim asked Yura.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Finally, the mystery was solved, but a new question arose.
“But Director Kim and Yura, have they been in frequent contact lately? When did they become so close?”
“Well…”
I see. He has no idea.
Dohyuk noticed that Director Kim and Yura were dating when they met at the stir-fried rice cake restaurant last time.
He didn’t ask for details, but it was probably the day Seojun brought the drunk Yura.
“I’ve been surprised several times today. When Ujin brought Deputy Manager Kang, I thought I was going to faint.”
“The world is small.”
“That’s right.”
Jaein asked cautiously, “Team leader, but now that Deputy Kang knows, what will you do?”
“Rumors of office romance will probably spread.”
“Are you okay with that?”
“Yeah. It might be a bit tiring, but as long as our identities are not revealed, it’s okay.”
“Well then, fortunately… I guess everyone will be shocked, thinking I’m always being mistreated by Cha Dohyuk.”
“Rather than that, why not just get married now? It sounds good to hear ‘Mr. Cha’?”
“It’s too much! I have to go to Japan, you know that.”
“Get married and then go. Taking responsibility?”
“I’ll take responsibility… someday.”
Dohyuk’s eyebrows twitched.
“What? You’re not going to drag this on until you’re old and wrinkled, are you?”
“That’s up to the team leader.”
“Seo Jaein, you’re too much.”
Dohyuk said grumpily.
Whether or not, Jaein stood up.
“Team leader, please rest well.”
“Leaving?”
As Jaein tried to leave, Dohyuk’s gaze changed.
Dohyuk stared at Jaein with eyes that seemed like honey might drip down.
“Seo Jaein?”
Jaein’s heart tingled at the soft voice that curled gently.
Thump, thump.
Jaein, worried that their conversation might be overheard by his parents, whispered softly.
“Why, why are you doing this?”
“I came all the way here because Seo Jaein said she missed me. Isn’t it too much to just leave?”
“I clearly said I’ll endure a bit.”
“Can’t you stay a little longer? We haven’t had a chance to talk because we’ve been so busy.”
Come to think of it, they haven’t had time alone to exchange a proper word.
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.
