Hyeju, upon returning home, changed her clothes and sprawled on the bed.
The more she thought, the more melancholic she became.
She hadn’t even had dinner, and she had been waiting only for Kang Ju Won’s return from work, but she had seen him for just a few minutes in the elevator.
“I’m craving alcohol…”
Hyeju mumbled as she clutched her pillow.
Thinking of alcohol brought to mind spicy appetizers. She remembered the face of Ju Won as he leaned his chin on his hand in front of them.
The habitual gaze he used to fix on her when they clinked glasses. Even before the alcohol entered her system, her stomach would start churning.
“Ah… It’s so frustrating. I should watch a movie and go to sleep.”
Hyeju turned on the TV, pulling the covers tightly around herself as if she were embracing Kang Ju Won.
Of all things, the only movies in sight were all romance films. When she saw the poster of the two protagonists embracing affectionately, that thought crossed her mind again.
“I want to lie down together and watch a movie… Hng.”
With a cold can of beer in hand, she wanted to lie down side by side and relax. The snacks were caramel popcorn.
Of course, the prerequisite was Kang Ju Won.
“Phew, it’s severe, severe.”
Now, Kang Ju Won followed her no matter what she did.
Hyeju tilted her head and randomly started playing any movie.
Whether it was having a meal, aimlessly wandering around with nothing to do, or feeling melancholic like she did now, Ju Won came to mind. She wanted to eat anything with Ju Won, and she wanted to do anything with Ju Won.
Although it was clear that Ju Won had confessed first, somehow, it felt like the tables had turned. Her feelings were so intense that it almost felt like unrequited love.
In Hyeju’s perception, the emotions of the two seemed to precisely trace an inverse curve. When Hyeju was blazing with passion, Ju Won felt cooled off.
The turning point was precisely after the workshop.
Since the day they had ignited each other in the hotel room, Hyeju’s emotions had exploded.
“[Sigh] This is something I want to do only with you for a lifetime. Just the thought of you lying with another guy makes me want to go crazy.”
He rushed in like a wave, forceful and passionate. It was almost as if he was expressing his sincerity with his entire body.
When the atmosphere was abruptly interrupted by Team Leader Wook’s call and they met the next day, Hyeju had some expectations.
She had hoped that he would discreetly communicate with her, even if it was just a secret glance among the staff.
However, on that particular day, Ju Won, who seemed unusually exhausted, immediately returned to Seoul as soon as the official schedule was over.
Since then, the atmosphere remained calm. Ju Won seemed perplexed, as if his mind was occupied by something, and Hyeju was busy watching his every move.
She had even seen him skip lunch and collapse at his desk, looking completely drained.
Seeing him lying there, as if he hadn’t slept a wink, she couldn’t bring herself to wake him up and quietly left only the packed lunch.
“I know exactly what this feeling is like. It’s like stopping in the middle of taking a dump.”
Hyeju muttered as she absentmindedly fiddled with her phone.
It had been a long time since she lost her concentration on the movie. As she lay on the bed, using the sounds from the movie as background music, Ju Won’s face came to her mind once again.
She wanted to hold him, kiss him, and spend the night together. She wanted to lie on his bed together, taking in his scent. Just thinking about his tender touch and the breath that warmed her ear, making her whole body feel languid, made her heart race once more.
“Is this what desire feels like…”
Thinking about his well-defined six-pack abs, she blushed and smacked her own cheek.
“Oh Hye Ju, get a grip!”
Even if she was hungry, this wasn’t the way to handle it!
Even if Ju Won had an incredibly tempting body, she shouldn’t be imagining things like this!
Buzz[Dash]
“Oh, what a surprise!”
Hyeju was startled by her phone vibrating at just the right moment. She quickly reached for it and, upon seeing the name on the screen, answered with excitement.
“Oppa!”
It was Juwon on the line.
Hyeju, who had been eagerly awaiting his call for some time now, was overjoyed, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
[Dash]I’ve just arrived and took a shower. What are you up to?
“I was watching a movie by myself. It’s not very interesting.”
[Dash]What’s the name of the movie?“Um, let’s see. The title is… ‘Rugged Man’?”
She blurted out, and it felt quite strange as soon as she said it. Just then, an unusual moan reached her ears, and when she looked at the screen, there was a colorful spectacle unfolding.
[Dash] So, Hyeju, that’s your taste, huh?A soft chuckle came from the other side of the phone.
“No, it’s not like that. I just randomly picked a movie among the new releases. I haven’t really watched it.”
[Dash] I see.“I mean, seriously, I’m not into those 19+ things.”
[Dash] Well, I am.“Uh… I see. Got it.”
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.
