We made a stop at the rest area and leisurely drove, and it took a little over five hours to reach the Yeosu tollgate.
“Dear, are you too tired from driving for a long time?”
When Ina massaged Jiwon’s shoulders with a sympathetic face, Jiwon smiled and held Ina’s hand.
“No, not tired at all, so don’t worry.”
“But still… I feel sorry for making you drive alone.”
“No need to be sorry at all. I wasn’t bored because you kept talking next to me.”
“Then that’s fortunate. I’ll make a call to my mom for now.”
Ina took out her phone and called her mom.
“Hello? Mom?”
“Oh, daughter. Have you arrived?”
“Yeah, Mom. We just passed the tollgate. It’ll take about 20 minutes.”
“Really? Come quickly. I’m hungry. I’ll prepare a meal.”
“Yeah, got it.”
After hanging up, Ina’s heart started to flutter.
“I’m getting nervous for no reason. Aren’t you nervous, dear?”
When Ina asked, Jiwon smiled, raising the corner of his mouth.
“I’m a bit nervous now that we’ve arrived.”
“We’ll see when we meet, but my mom is a bit reserved. But my aunt is a bit…”
“Why?”
“My aunt is a bit talkative. Also… she might get excited when she sees you.”
“Why?”
“My aunt really likes handsome guys.”
“……Hmm.”
Awkwardly, Jiwon tapped the steering wheel.
“You know how Youngmin reacted when he saw you? How much he liked you. My aunt and her son, you know.”
“I see.”
Jiwon awkwardly tapped the steering wheel.
“You know how Youngmin reacted when he saw you? How much he liked you. My aunt and her son, you know.”
“I see.”
“Anyway, my aunt is quite chatty. Still, she’s a good person, so just go along with it.”
“Of course, she’s your aunt.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
After a while, Jiwon’s car arrived at a three-story building.
“Is this it?”
“Yeah. The first floor is a restaurant run by my aunt, the second floor is rented out, and my aunt, mom, and Youngmin live together on the third floor.”
“Anyone else? No grandpa or grandma?”
“My grandpa passed away when Youngmin was in elementary school, and my grandmother passed away three years ago.”
“Ah…”
“Let’s go up quickly. Mom prepared a meal and is waiting.”
“Yeah, sure. Just a moment.”
Jiwon, getting out of the car, opened the trunk and took out three large shopping bags.
“What’s all this?”
Ina looked at the bags with widened eyes.
“Just bought a few simple gifts.”
“Looking at the size, they don’t seem simple.”
Jiwon chuckled and held Ina’s hand.
“Let’s go up quickly. The adults must be waiting.”
“Huh? Oh, yeah.”
Holding Jiwon’s hand, Ina pressed the intercom bell next to the main door on the first floor.
“Oh? Sister! Come up quickly!”
Youngmin opened the door excitedly with a loud voice, and Ina, with a pounding heart, climbed the stairs with Jiwon.
“Jiwon, hyung!”
Before reaching the third floor, Youngmin, with a loud shout, rushed out and tightly embraced Jiwon, causing Jiwon, who was carrying luggage, to wobble.
“Hey, Kim Youngmin! Don’t you see your hyung carrying luggage?”
In response to Ina’s words, Youngmin quickly dropped his surprised expression and reached out his hand to Jiwon.
“Hyung, please give it to me. I’ll carry it.”
“No, it’s okay. Let’s go inside quickly. Are the two waiting?”
“Of course! They set up everything and are waiting impatiently.”
Youngmin eagerly took the lead, opening the door to the third floor.
As soon as Youngmin opened the door on the third floor, the enticing smell of food from the feast house vibrated through the air.
Ina swallowed her saliva and looked at Jiwon, who responded with a bright smile.
“Mom! Aunt! Jiwon hyung is here!”
Youngmin shouted loudly as he stepped into the hallway.
‘To anyone who sees us, it might seem like my brother returned after finishing his military service.’
Ina chuckled as she and Jiwon entered the hallway. The mom and aunt, who were standing in front of the hallway, were visible.
“Mom. Aunt!”
Ina greeted the two warmly, but they stared at Jiwon with open mouths, seemingly oblivious to Ina.
Feeling embarrassed by their intense gaze, Ina quickly turned to her aunt.
“Whoa, whoa… Our Youngmin wasn’t lying, huh? Who’s this handsome guy? A sculpture?”
“Aunt!”
Feeling embarrassed, Ina called out to her aunt.
“See, I was right, wasn’t I? I said our brother is incredibly handsome, didn’t I?”
Jiwon, looking awkward, coughed once and bowed 90 degrees, greeting them.
“Hello. Nice to meet you. I’m Lee Jiwon, Ina’s boyfriend.”
The mom and aunt, still with open mouths, followed suit and bowed their heads.
“Hyung, let’s go inside quickly. Right away.”
“Yeah, yeah. Let’s not stay here in front of the door. Come in quickly.”
Aunt, leading the way, energetically ushered Jiwon and Ina inside.
Ina’s mom still hadn’t said a word, her face frozen in surprise.
“You must have had a hard time coming a long way, huh? Let’s eat first since you must be hungry, right?”
“Aunt, please speak comfortably. Also, this is a small gift.”
“Whoa, whoa! What’s this?”
Taking the shopping bag Jiwon offered, Aunt looked at it with curious eyes.
“It’s nothing much. Just a small gift.”
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.
