“Let’s do it, Oh Hye Ju.”
“Do you happen to know? It might be much more fun than when you were hanging out with Seung Won.”
Kang Ju Won’s bombshell remark created ripples in Hye Ju’s empty heart.
“Is this a green light? What on earth does this mean?”
Hye Ju clutched a large rabbit doll and tossed and turned all night. Thoughts that she had never considered began to turn into “what ifs,” and his words started to confuse her.
And today.
Kang Ju Won, who always seemed colorless, suddenly gained vibrant emotions and a moment of hesitation. All the scenes she had casually overlooked began to blossom like layers of flowers.
“Let’s go for a company dinner.”
“Don’t get unnecessarily wet. Stick close to me. I won’t bite.”
“Do you get nervous like this too? I was thinking about that.”
“Should we kiss?”
The countless signals he had sent finally became a wave that penetrated Hye Ju’s mind. She had naturally assumed it wouldn’t happen, but now she wondered if it could. No matter how many times she questioned herself, the conclusion remained the same.
“Does Oppa like me? Oh my…!”
Hye Ju’s feet, tucked under the blanket, kicked up a storm.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, this was a major event.
Never before had someone entered Oh Hye Ju’s life so intensely. And it had been less than two months since she ended her decadelong unrequited love for Seung Won.
“But if it’s really true, what should I do?”
As Hye Ju’s blushing face wandered through various imaginations, she suddenly thought of Seung Won’s older brother, Kang Ju Won.
Of course, on the surface, there was no problem. Hye Ju never confessed her feelings to Seung Won, and it was just a onesided crush that she ended on her own.
Moreover, doesn’t Seung Won have a girlfriend now?
But still, it bothered her.
If by any chance they got married, she would be called Seung Won’s “sisterinlaw.” Just the thought of it…
“Are you crazy, Oh Hye Ju! Why are you even considering accepting?”
Thud! Thump!
Hye Ju writhed in selfreproach.
“What a fool!”
Ah, why did I imagine myself entering the wedding venue with Kang Ju Won?
It’s easy, Oh Hye Ju.
You’re too easy.
The next day.
Having spent the night tossing and turning, Hye Ju arrived at work a little later than usual.
Data Korea implemented a flexible work schedule, so everyone had different arrival times. However, usually, most people would be at their desks and starting work after 9 o’clock, but today the atmosphere seemed chaotic.
“What’s going on?”
Hye Ju made her way through the crowd of employees gathered around the business department.
“Good morning!”
“Oh, Hye Ju, you’re here? It’s not a good morning today. It’s chaos!”
“Chaos?”
“Look over there.”
Myung Ho, who loves gossip, pointed with a worried expression. Hye Ju lowered her bag from her shoulder and looked towards the gathering of employees.
“What’s going on?”
Several employees were huddled together, looking at something. Hye Ju stood on her tiptoes and peered inside. And then, she immediately blushed.
“Oh!”
They were looking at a palmsized sticker photo. A trendy black and white fourcut photo.
The problem was that the subjects in the photo were Seung Won and Da Hee.
“What’s that photo?”
“Oh, Hye Ju, you’re here? It’s not just chaos because of this. Someone found it on the office floor this morning. It’s a big deal, isn’t it?”
“Ah…”
“There are employees in the company who are secretly dating, but these two are really unexpected. I thought Seung Won would be dating Hye Ju, I didn’t know it would be Da Hee. Did you know they were dating? The three of them are close.”
“Well, I…”
Hye Ju awkwardly smiled and pretended not to know. Of course, Myung Ho didn’t believe her act.
“Well, if the three of them are always together, how could they not know? Anyway, this one photo has caused a commotion since morning.”
“Well, young men and women can date. It’s not surprising. Besides, there must be several couples dating in the company. Why make such a fuss about this?”
“When Hye Ju didn’t see the reaction of the two when they discovered this photo.”
“What kind of reaction?”
“They both looked extremely surprised. Well, it could be because their secret relationship was exposed. But Seung Won’s reaction was not ordinary. His face turned pale as soon as he saw the photo and he stormed out immediately. Anyone could tell he was angry. That’s why there’s so much talk going around.”
Ah…
Hye Ju sighed with a sense of pity. It saddened her to see the private relationship between the two people who had maintained strict confidentiality being exposed so publicly.
Although the company policy did not explicitly prohibit office romance, if it were to be revealed openly, it would inevitably become the talk of the town.
Even now.
“They must have been very shocked.”
Hye Ju let out a deep sigh.
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.
