“Argh, frustrating! It would be better to talk while facing the wall. No wonder you’re still a virgin.”
“What do you mean…”
Jae In pursed her lips.
“Enough. But don’t you have any interest in the handsome Team Leader Cha at all?”
“Hey, don’t say scary things.”
“Why? He’s incredibly handsome! Plus, he’s from a conglomerate! Isn’t it strange not to be attracted to him based on common sense?”
“Because you haven’t spent time together. It makes you forget about that extraordinary handsomeness in an instant.”
“Oh, by the way, an important question was missing.”
“What is it?”
“When you two were living together, nothing happened?”
Jae In shivered at Yura’s sulky voice.
“Nothing happened! We were working like crazy. Yesterday, he even made me work until 1 a.m. because I couldn’t finish my tasks during the day.”
“Nothing else happened?”
“We only ate and slept, besides work! Between the team leader and me, if you take away the business, it’s like being between corpses.”
“Is that so? Hm.”
Yura paused for a moment and then spoke.
“About Team Leader Cha… is there some kind of issue on his side after all?”
“His side? What do you mean?”
“Oh, his side, you know.”
“What do you mean by ‘his side’?”
Yura burst out with an exasperated voice.
“Argh! Maybe… do you like men?”
At that moment, Jae In felt as if her head had been struck by a hammer.
“Men… men?”
“No matter how I think about it, it’s strange. He definitely seemed to have a liking for you, but even when you were alone, he only made you work. Don’t you have any interest in women at all?”
“You’re so noisy! The team leader and I have nothing more or less than a contractual relationship, and that’s why we live together in the same house, that’s all!”
“Okay. Since you insist so much, let’s leave it at that. I’ll keep an eye on it from now on.”
“What are you keeping an eye on? Anyway, it’s a real secret, so only you should know. Got it?”
“I got it. But what about Gyumin? What are you going to do about him?”
Suddenly, when Gyumin was mentioned, Jae In was at a loss for words.
“He’s a close friend, what can I do?”
Note: Translated names will be consistent throughout the story.
―Speaking of my glorious love life so far, it’s certain that Gyumin likes you! Just to be sure, I observed yesterday, and it was quite obvious.
“What…?”
―Even when he contacted me, I made sure if you were seeing someone.
“Well, there’s no way…”
―Well, it’s a problem for you two to solve, but it seems like you’re completely clueless, so I’m giving you a heads up.
With Yura’s voice devoid of laughter, Jae In was at a loss for words.
She had never once considered Gyumin as a potential love interest, so she was simply perplexed.
―I’m telling you, if you catch Gyumin, it’s a jackpot.
“…That’s absurd.”
―I discreetly asked around when I went out yesterday, and the household in that area knows Gyumin. Good family, good character, even better personality. He’s the epitome of an ideal husband.
Absolutely.
Even from a thirdparty perspective, Gyumin had nothing to fault.
Jae In’s heart was in turmoil now that she knew Gyumin’s feelings, which she had never been aware of before.
By the way, Han Gyumin, did you engage in such a confrontation with Team Leader Cha because you trusted me?
Suddenly, she remembered Do Hyuk’s chilling gaze as if he was going to devour Gyumin.
At that moment.
―Why are you silent? Were you thinking about Team Leader Cha?
Wow, Choi Yura, are you trying to play matchmaker?
Caught off guard by Yura’s unexpected attack, Jae In slumped her shoulders.
“No, it’s not like that.”
―No, it’s not. Even I would be concerned if I were you. Both Team Leader Cha and Han Gyumin are great.
“Enough. Can you stop meddling with Team Leader Cha? Since you have no interest in me.”
―…
Once again, Yura fell silent. It was frightening.
―Jae In, if someone else said that, I would have called it pretentious, but since it’s you, I understand. Fine, let’s assume that’s the case and lock the door at night.
“But it’s not like that! Come on, let’s go inside. It’s cold.”
―Me? Am I lying in my room bed?
Yura’s nonchalant response struck Jae In like a blow to the back of her head.
“What? In front of our house?”
―You’re so innocent. I was just testing, but you took the bait. You’re still far from being like your sister.
Hee hee hee. With a laughter resembling a mischievous imp, the phone abruptly disconnected.
“Choi Yura, youuuu!”
Jae In’s hand trembled as she tightly gripped her mobile phone.
“I fell for it!”
It was after lunch, having eaten the delicious bibim guksu prepared by Sung Joon after finishing work in the morning.
Suddenly, Do Hyuk spoke up.
“Well, let’s wrap up work here for today. Thank you for your hard work.”
Jae In doubted her ears.
Did Cha Do Hyuk just say that he would stop doing the work he loves? Did he really say that?
If he was going to do that, he should have said it before we enjoyed our meal, feeling regretful.
But still, what a surprise!
“Thank you all for your hard work! Manager Kim, I’ll take care of the dishes.”
Jae In’s movements of putting dishes into the dishwasher were lively.
Without even realizing it, I even hummed a little tune.
They say humans are adaptable creatures.
In the past, even spending the whole weekend relaxing wouldn’t have satisfied me.
But now, in just half a day of freedom, Jae In felt an immense sense of happiness.
Back then, when she was excited about finally having time to relax.
Do Hyuk, who was sitting at the dining table, suddenly called her name.
“Seo Jae In…?”
Jae In’s hand holding the dish trembled.
That sound was like the prelude to a horror movie.
“…Yes?”
“……”
He called out to her.
Do Hyuk silently gazed at Jae In without saying a word.
“Why is he acting like this? What does he want now?”
Jae In, tensed up, quickly finished washing the dishes.
Then, she walked briskly towards her room and said,
“I’ll just go in now.”
“Just a moment.”
Do Hyuk called Jae In again.
Team leader, why are you making me so nervous!
Jae In asked with a heavy heart.
“Why?”
“……”
Do Hyuk only pursed his lips and remained silent as ever.
When Sung Joon looked at him with frustration, Do Hyuk raised an eyebrow and averted his gaze.
Frustrated by Sung Joon’s unhelpfulness, he spoke up.
“The sunlight is nice, so why don’t you two go and get some fresh air? The work finished early for once.”
“Oh, no! You must be tired too, Team Leader. You should rest well. What’s the big deal about a little breeze? Then, I’ll go now.”
Just as Jae In was about to make a quick escape, showing her back, a gruff voice suddenly grabbed hold of her.
“Stay.”
“Yes? Well…”
Do Hyuk stood up with his tall figure.
It was a situation where Jae In couldn’t help but get involved with Do Hyuk.
However, she couldn’t spend the golden Sunday afternoon with Do Hyuk.
Jae In collected herself and decisively expressed her intention.
“Team Leader, I’m too tired, so I’ll rest at home today.”
“That’s inconvenient… It’s a market survey.”
Market survey?
Oh, right. I thought I could rest for once.
A bewildered Jae In hastily looked at Sung Joon.
“Well, then, Manager Kim, are you going with them?”
“I’m sorry. I have an urgent matter to attend to. You two enjoy your time together.”
He lowered his head and a strange smile appeared on Sung Joon’s lips as he apologized.
“Enjoy your time together?”
Jae In sent Sung Joon a resentful look.
“Manager Kim, is this how you’re going to act?”

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.
