Given that Kang Young-kyu is a journalist specializing in the art world, the interview with the painter Gaeul proceeded smoothly and amicably, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
Having previously conducted an interview with him, Gaeul found it easier to respond this time. However, despite the seemingly successful interview, she wasn’t sure in what state of mind she had answered. Gaeul still felt embarrassed about Kang Young-kyu discovering their relationship even before the interview began.
Observing the quick understanding of the situation, Kang Young-kyu refrained from asking any further questions about their relationship throughout the interview. His questions focused solely on matters related to the current exhibition, demonstrating his ability to maintain a witty yet respectful demeanor.
Although Kang Young-kyu did not overtly delve into the dynamics between them, it was evident that he harbored a keen interest in their relationship, thinking, ‘I get to witness Han Ki-tae, the CEO, dating as I live.’
As for the artist Yun Gaeul, having engaged in conversation during the previous interview allowed Kang Young-kyu to form a good understanding of her personality. He could sense her warm and affectionate nature, both in person and through her artwork.
While Yun Gaeul had garnered attention at a young age and was undeniably beautiful, it was surprising that CEO Han Ki-tae had taken the initiative. The more intriguing aspect for Kang Young-kyu was the apparent transformation in CEO Han Ki-tae’s demeanor. What used to be a somewhat distant and cold demeanor now seemed entirely different.
Observing Han Ki-tae’s unwavering attention to Yun Gaeul during the interview, Kang Young-kyu couldn’t help but smile. It was clear that he had not attended to offer commentary or interfere with the interview. Rather, he had subtly followed along because he wanted to observe the painter Yun Gaeul during the interview.
The unexpected change in the CEO’s demeanor prompted Kang Young-kyu to chuckle. However, being aware of the CEO’s personality, he refrained from revealing his amusement, putting all his efforts into focusing on the interview.
The kindness exhibited was undoubtedly limited to Yun Gaeul, and Kang Young-kyu wisely chose not to pry into the details. As the interview concluded, Kang Young-kyu, still somewhat embarrassed, extended his greetings to Gaeul.
“Um… Reporter-nim, I truly enjoyed the interview today. Thanks to your comfortable approach, the answers came out more easily than I had prepared for. I’m grateful for both this interview and the previous article. Thank you for always viewing things positively.”
“I enjoyed it too. Thanks to Gaeul agreeing to the interview, I was able to write the article I wanted.”
As Kang Young-kyu extended his hand for a farewell at the end of the interview, he said, “Next interview, please take good care of it.”
While doing so, he subtly hinted at anticipating the next interview. Gaeul, momentarily widening her eyes at Kang Young-kyu’s words, nodded and shook hands with him.
“Yes. I’ll rely on you for the next interview too.”
“Sure. Well then, I’ll take my leave. You’ve worked hard. CEO, I’ll go too.”
With the conclusion of the farewell from Kang Young-kyu, he left the office. Once he was out of the office, the person who had been sitting at a distance throughout the interview approached Gaeul.
“Ha…”
Gaeul sighed. Then, he asked, “What’s wrong? Were you nervous? Kang Young-kyu handles everything, so there’s no need to be nervous.”
Gaeul looked at him, thinking that he must have been nervous because of the interview. However, she corrected him, revealing what happened before the interview.
“No, it’s not that. I felt a bit embarrassed.”
“…?”
“Kang Young-kyu knew everything. About me dating the CEO.”
Reacting as if it wasn’t a big deal, he chuckled and responded, “Really?”
“Yes…”
Both of Gaeul’s cheeks turned red with the unmistakable trace of embarrassment. He embraced Gaeul, asking, “Why? Did you want to keep it a secret?”
“No, it’s not that. It’s just that I haven’t revealed it to anyone other than close friends.”
Technically, she hadn’t revealed it; it was more like she got caught.
“Well, it’s the first time I got caught, and I thought it might show because of the interview. So, I felt a bit embarrassed.”
“So what?”
Seeing him in a good mood, Gaeul asked with a puzzled expression, “But, is it okay even if the reporter knows…?”
He was kind, but he was still a reporter. Should she have told him not to say anything?
Responding as if he understood what she meant, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “Kang Young-kyu, the reporter, is discreet. If you don’t want to make it public, he won’t write such an article. He’s smart enough to judge well.”
He accurately pinpointed the concern Gaeul had. However, it seemed more like he trusted Kang Young-kyu the reporter rather than having complete faith. Gaeul, looking at him with a slightly suspicious gaze, asked, “But still, is it okay if he knows…?”
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.
