It was a radio program hosted by a female DJ with a voice that suited the night perfectly. Her honeylike voice gently read out people’s stories, making sleepiness truly come. Hyeju opened her eyes slightly and looked at Juwon, who was driving.
“Oh, this is nice.”
She thought she wouldn’t be able to see him today, but it was nice to be together like this.
The very word ‘confession’ hadn’t even been mentioned, but it didn’t matter. What does it matter when I’m with my oppa, regardless of this or that?
“Should we kiss? If you feel the same way I do, let’s give it a try~”
As the car approached the corner of Hyeju’s neighborhood, a familiar song started playing on the radio. Hyeju blinked her blurry eyes.
“Oh? That song!”
The night they spent together in Shinwoldo.
She remembered the sound of waves on a rainy day. The sparkling campfire, the cozy scent from the blanket covering their knees, and…
Should we kiss?
His straightforward voice.
Although it ended up being a failure because of Hyeju’s awkwardness, the excitement she felt at that moment still lingered.
Hyeju hummed along to the familiar melody with halfclosed eyes.
“Hmm hmm hmm hmm~”
The memories seemed vivid, as if it was the second time hearing the song, yet she could roughly sing along with the chorus.
In the meantime, the car stopped in front of Hyeju’s studio apartment.
“Thank you for driving me! Thanks to you, I had a comfortable ride, oppa.”
As she unfastened her seatbelt and confidently spoke, the music ended. The voice of the DJ announcing the end of Part 1 flowed through the radio.
“This song suits a rainy day perfectly, doesn’t it? The song you just heard was ‘Confession of Spring’ by IU. I’ll see you in Part 2.”
…Huh?
Hyeju’s pupils shook.
Didn’t he clearly say “Should we kiss?” last time?
“Oppa, the title of this song…”
As she stumbled over her words, their eyes met.
The irises, filled with a peculiar tremor, shimmered in the light. If someone’s true feelings were reflected in their eyes, would it feel like this?
Hyeju finally realizes now. On that day too, he looked at her with those eyes.
“It was sincere, oppa.”
He had expressed his sincerity multiple times, even though I couldn’t understand it when he said it so openly. Yes, multiple times.
…Crazy!
As I cursed with my mouth covered, what did oppa think while casually mentioning the title of the song?
Juwon held the steering wheel for a moment without saying anything. He didn’t say anything, but with lips parting as if about to speak, he asked in a tone that seemed to be asking for a ride.
“Do you still misunderstand?”
It was a statement that implied a lot.
“Do you still think Seungwon is the person you like?”
And, even the person you’re looking at right now, is that also a misunderstanding?
“Oppa…”
Hyeju looked at Juwon with trembling eyes.
I felt like I should say something, but when I opened my mouth, it felt like my heart would jump out of my throat, so I couldn’t do it.
But one thing became clear, my heart had certainty about who it was directed towards.
Instead of answering, Hyeju covered Juwon’s cheeks with both hands. Then, she shyly kissed him.
A moment.
“!”
Juwon’s pupils widened.
When their smooth lips touched, it felt like the whole world shook. And when they separated, it felt like half of that world had been cut off. If she let go of his hand now, everything would disappear. Her throat felt dry. Her mouth was completely parched.
“Do you think it’s something you shouldn’t have learned?”
Thud. Juwon grabbed Hyeju’s wrist as she tried to run away.
“Wwhat, what are you doing!”
Hyeju lowered her burning sweet potatolike face deeply. Juwon held her cheeks with both hands, making her look at him.
“You should have learned this properly from the beginning.”
He tilted his head slightly. The tip of his nose lightly pressed against her cheek, and their soft lips touched. As he applied pressure with his thumb on her chin, her upper and lower lips gently parted.
In the moment when the sweet words flooded in, Hyeju held her breath.
“Ah…”
Her thighs tensed, and her toes tingled. Her head felt dizzy, and her breathing became shallow.
She couldn’t regain her composure from his breath, which rushed in without hesitation.
The sincerity conveyed through his tightly pressed lips was hot and intense. It was enough to make her whole body burn.
“I like you, Oh Hyeju.”
Juwon’s lips briefly touched Hyeju’s closed eyelids and then pulled away. Then they trailed along the bridge of her nose.
Juwon gently held Hyeju’s hand and once again flipped her trembling lips.
Look closely. This is what an adult’s kiss is like. As if teaching her.
“What should I do? What should I do…!”
Hyeju, back at home, trembled under the covers, covering her mouth. The lingering feeling of the kiss she shared with Juwon a while ago still remained on her lips.
“I kissed Kang Juwon? Really? Then, today is day 1 from now on?”
Wow… She had made up her mind to pretend to resist and accept his confession, but she didn’t expect to kiss him right away. It wasn’t her first kiss, but it was the first time she experienced such a sweet kiss. She felt like she needed to redefine the meaning of a kiss.
“It was so gentle. It wasn’t sticky either.”
The sensation that dominated her mind made her shiver down to her lower abdomen. Her heart felt like it would explode, but she couldn’t make any sound in the middle of the night. All she could do was hug the covers and pace her feet. That was all she could do.
It was truly regrettable that things had become awkward between Dahee and me at a time like this. If it were like before, I would have immediately called her and chatted all night long.
Hyeju fiddled with her phone, lost in thought.
Dingdong! Dingdong!
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
“Who could it be at this hour? Could it be Ohbrother?”
There was no one who would come at this late hour. Hyeju, thinking that Juwon, whom she had just parted with, had come back, quickly adjusted her hair and opened the front door.
Thud.
However, it wasn’t Juwon that she saw through the open door.
“Kang Seungwon? Why are you here at this hour…?”
“Hyeju.”
Seungwon’s face turned red.
Startled, Hyeju tried to step outside first by putting on her slippers, but Seungwon closed the door and entered instead. She heard the sound of the lock clicking.
“I just came to ask you one thing.”
Seungwon’s shadow fell upon Hyeju’s forehead.
Thump, her heart raced with a different meaning than before. An uneasy feeling swept over Hyeju as she heard Seungwon’s voice in her ear.
“It wasn’t your brother… It was me, right?”

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.
