“…That would be great. I can focus on the food.”
Do Hyuk’s eyebrows raised in surprise.
“Does that mean… you treat me as if I don’t exist?”
Oh, our team leader has quite a high level of comprehension, it seems.
Jae In chuckled and made a face as if to say, “When did I ever do that?”
At that moment, an employee brought a new plate.
“Oh, this is autolada! Team leader, please try it quickly.”
Wrinkles formed on Do Hyuk’s forehead, whether he liked it or not.
In this moment, when the oily tuna meat melted softly in her mouth, Jae In was completely happy without any distracting thoughts.
Do Hyuk, without even thinking about eating, gazed at Jae In with gentle eyes.
“I guess it’s okay now that you’re not scared anymore because of the ghost.”
“A ghost?”
Ah.
I completely forgot about Yura and Director Kim.
“Team leader, excuse me for a moment. I need to use the restroom.”
Jae In hastily got up from her seat and went to the restroom.
As soon as the restroom door closed, she called Yura.
After a long time had passed since the bell rang, Yura answered the phone with a cheerful voice.
Oh, Jae In!
“Yura, are you okay? I’m sorry. Because the team leader suddenly came…”
It’s fine. It can’t be helped. But where did you go?
“…!”
Oops.
Jae In felt a pang of guilt for pushing her friend into the dim multipurpose room and eating delicious sushi alone.
“Uh, the team leader wanted to have a talk while drinking tea… Are you on your way home?”
No. I’m still inside the house.
“What?”
Of course, I thought she had gone outside.
Jae In’s expectation was off the mark.
“What have you been doing there? What about Director Kim?”
She’s right next to me.
“That’s good. Please apologize to her for me. We’ll treat her to a meal next time. And since it’s late, go home quickly.”
Okay, I’ll eat jokbal before I leave.
Ah, right. I also ordered jokbal.
“You’re going to eat it there?”
I just arrived. Since I already ordered it, I’ll eat it before I go. I’m too hungry to go home. I’ll clean up and leave.
“Just take it with you!”
No, I have to eat it with Seong Jun. I shouldn’t act petty over food, right?
“Seong Jun, hey, you shouldn’t say strange things to Director Kim!”
Jae In, don’t worry. Let’s talk later anyway since I’m hungry.
Click.
The call ended.
Why am I more worried even though she told me not to worry?
Jae In was overwhelmed by anxiety.
“Surely, she’s not talking about what happened with the team leader, right?”
And another worry arose.
“I hope Director Kim is safe.”
Jae In fervently hoped that Yura wouldn’t bring up the topic of fate again.
“Oh! I just remembered why Seong Jun looked familiar!”
Yura shouted as she placed the pork trotters on top of the lettuce.
Seong Jun, who was filling in the gap by crying and eating mustard, looked at her with surprised eyes.
“He looks a lot like someone I know!”
“…Is that so?”
“I met this person for the first time yesterday, and their facial features are similar to yours under the eyes.”
“Hmm. There are many people who resemble each other in the world.”
“To be honest, I’m a bit embarrassed, but I fell for that incredibly handsome man at first sight.”
Yura finished speaking and shyly smiled, lowering her gaze.
Then, suddenly, she stood up from her seat and bowed deeply on the dining table.
Seong Jun was taken aback and moved as far back as possible in his seated position.
Yura looked closely into Seong Jun’s face and playfully mumbled, tilting her head.
“They really look alike. Anyone would think they are the same person.”
“…!”
A tremor ran through Seong Jun’s pupils.
“Well, it’s unlikely though.”
Yura sat back down and finished wrapping the lettuce wraps, popping them into her mouth.
“Of course. There are many people who resemble each other in the world.”
Seong Jun smiled wryly and played along.
Then, he looked back on his first encounter with Yura last night.
.

“I’ll be waiting sitting on the bench, so take your time and come out!”
What’s this? Why does that casual voice sound like someone I know?
Startled by an unexpected intruder, Seong Jun jumped into the room, his head throbbing.
“What should I do? The woman outside is Jae In’s friend. If by any chance she hears that I live here, it could be troublesome….”
Two weeks ago.
Seong Jun signed a contract for Jae In’s rooftop apartment at Do Hyuk’s request.
When Do Hyuk asked him to take care of Jae In’s rooftop apartment, Seong Jun sang a little song in his mind.
It was because he had received a final warning from his mother.
“If you’re not going to get married, pack your things and leave within a week!”
Seong Jun had chosen to remain a free soloist, enjoying the life of a single person. He had planned to continue living with his mother, who had been left alone.
However, his mother, who had recently been stimulated by her friends’ grandchildren, became the driving force behind her independence.
She had been persistently nagging Seong Jun to get married, saying she wanted to see her grandchildren, and he had been searching for a way to escape from that pressure.
He had expected his mother to give up if he actually moved out of the house.
So, with the intention of staying for only a few months, Seong Jun moved into Jae In’s rooftop apartment, only to encounter an unexpected problem within a few days.
“If Jae In realizes that her work is related to a nobleman, things will become complicated.”
In a situation where the success or failure of an important project was at stake, he couldn’t afford to cause trouble to Do Hyuk.
He had no choice but to pretend not to know and handle it well.
Seong Jun put on the shabby, light green tracksuit he had planned to throw away to conceal his identity, messed up his hair, and went outside.
When he appeared, Yura was slightly startled and lowered her head.
“I’m sorry if I surprised you. It’s my fault.”
“Well, it could be. Just wait a moment.”
Seong Jun, with his carefully arranged steps and casual tone, looked around and appeared to be the epitome of a perennial jobless person.
Seong Jun transferred the contents of the icebox from the green bowling bag he was carrying and handed it to Yura.
“Be careful not to trip again when you carry it.”
“Oh, thank you. But your way of speaking seems a bit different…”
“What’s wrong with my way of speaking?”
Yura smiled playfully at Seong Jun’s curt reaction and said.
“It’s nothing. Ah, I’ll definitely return the bag next time.”
“It’s okay! I was going to throw it away anyway.”
“Well, thank you. Then, how about having a meal together next time…”
“It’s alright. I’m fasting these days.”
“…”
There was no wall that could compare to this wall.
Yura, with a darkened complexion, bid her farewell in a listless voice.
“…Yes. Then, take care.”
“Goodbye.”
Just as I thought it was all over and was about to wipe my chest, Yura suddenly staggered and sat on the floor.
Seong Jun hurriedly ran to Yura.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes. But my ankle… Ouch! I think I sprained it when I almost tripped earlier.”
“Does it hurt a lot?”
“If I rest in a warm place for a while, I think it’ll be okay…”
Yura glanced at the rooftop apartment with deerlike eyes, as if she had fallen into a trap.

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.
