“There were two people who had been in a relationship for a long time. They broke up because the man had a new woman. The man was happy with his new woman. His longtime girlfriend? Of course, she was out of his mind. The only annoying thing was that his exgirlfriend was still lingering.”
Ha Young sighed deeply and continued the story.
“The other woman, his exgirlfriend, lived a hard life every day, feeling wronged and angry. And as if to show the man, she expressed her feelings on SNS every day.”
[I’m so hard because of you, I’m unhappy because of you.]
“But do you know? The man showed his current girlfriend the SNS where his exgirlfriend claimed she was struggling, and he laughed and said,”
[Hey, this woman can’t forget me and is doing this. I am such a great guy.]
“Ridiculous, right? But that’s the reality. The more you hold on with suffering and revenge, the more that bastard Cha Min Woo will laugh and brag with whoever that new woman is, saying you can’t forget him. Do you want that?”
Ji Yeon felt hurt by Ha Young’s hardhitting words, but at the same time, she felt grateful for her advice.
‘Who else would tell me this right now? Yes, I was a fool.’
“Do you want to live alone forever, unable to get out of Cha Min Woo’s shadow? No, right? You should also live sweetly with someone who cherishes you. You should love each other with someone who appreciates the love you give and reciprocates. Right? The best revenge is to live happily, as if to show that guy who dumped you, Cha Min Woo. There’s no better revenge than that.”
“Yeah……”
“Ji Yeon, you said the department head confessed his feelings to you. Meet him. Not that you have to do something right away, but just meet him comfortably. You said he was cool and gentlemanly, didn’t you? It’s a painful story for you, but you are officially free. You’re a free woman. You are legally unproblematic even if you meet such a great guy.”
Ji Yeon, who had been quietly listening to Ha Young’s words, slowly nodded her head.
She had thought about a complete breakup six months later, but it seemed like she would have to finish a little earlier.
This was entirely for myself, not for Min Woo or that woman.
The morning hours passed without Ji Yeon realizing it, absorbed in her work. It was almost 12 when the blinking icon of the internal messenger caught her eye.
[Do you have a lunch appointment? There’s something urgent.] [No, I don’t, Director. Is there something urgent you want me to do?] [It’s a personal matter that’s urgent, if it’s okay, I’d like your help. It’ll probably take about two hours due to an external schedule. Is that alright?] [Yes, that’s possible. Where should I go?] [I’ll let you know where to park, please come down to the parking lot. We’ll go in my car.] [Yes, understood.] Ji Yeon quickly packed her things and went down to the parking lot he had indicated.Kang Hyun was already downstairs, sitting in the driver’s seat of the car.
As soon as Ji Yeon sat in the passenger seat, he started the car.
“You came down quickly. I’m sorry if you were in a hurry because of me.”
“No, it’s okay, Director.”
“Also, thanks for sparing your personal lunch time.”
“No mention, it’s nothing. But, what is the urgent matter you mentioned…”
“You’ll find out when we get there, just wait a little.”
“There are many things I am grateful for that you have done for me, Director. This much is really nothing. Feel free to ask whenever you need.”
“Your words ease my mind a bit. Thank you. It will take about 15 minutes to get to our destination.”
As she moved with Kang Hyun, Ji Yeon kept looking at her continuously ringing phone.
It was Kang Ju Ran.
“You can answer the phone. It seems urgent since it keeps ringing.”
“No, it’s not urgent nor important. It’s okay.”
Ji Yeon sent just one text message and turned off her phone.
There was no sign, so it was impossible to tell what kind of place it was.
“Let’s get out. This is our destination.”
As they followed Kang Hyun inside, a person wearing a beautiful Hanbok (traditional Korean dress) came out and guided them inside without asking any questions.
The place they were guided to was a room with a large window, and a wellmaintained garden could be seen outside the window, making it a place with a beautiful view.
Inside the room, a large table was set, and Kang Hyun and Ji Yeon sat opposite each other on either side of it.
“Director, what is this place? It’s serene and so beautiful. Look at the garden outside that window. There are butterflies flying around. Wow….”
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, this place is so beautiful.”
“This is a Korean restaurant run by someone I know personally. It’s not a place that’s open to the public, only those who know about it can make reservations, so you might not have heard of it.”
“Really? Thanks to you, I get to visit such a place. But the urgent matter you mentioned… is it something to do here?”
Upon hearing Ji Yeon’s words, Kang Hyun chuckled and sighed briefly.
“As expected, you’re quite oblivious in this regard, Ji Yeon. Even though you’re quickwitted when it comes to work.”
“Sorry? I don’t understand what you mean.”
“I was just too eager to meet you privately. That’s why I brought you here so abruptly.”
“…..”
With a charming smile, Kang Hyun explained, but Ji Yeon found it hard to respond.
There had been no awkwardness between them since his confession last time, as both were too busy with work and Kang Hyun had not made any particular statement or action.
Therefore, she hadn’t anticipated such a sudden invitation like today’s.
“Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“No, it’s not that….”
Kang Hyun stared at her, waiting for her to continue.
“There’s something I should have told you in advance.”
“Please go ahead.”
“I was married. Not now, but I was.”
“…..”
A sudden silence followed Ji Yeon’s words.
Since she usually didn’t mention that she was married or had a boyfriend, it seemed easy for Kang Hyun to misunderstand.
Divorce was neither a sin nor a mistake, but it was something that needed to be clarified before starting anew with someone else.
Of course, Ji Yeon’s situation was a little different, but the fact that she had been married for three years was undeniable.
“You said you’re not now… so I don’t think that’s the most important thing right now.”
“Pardon?”
“What’s most important now is whether or not you’re interested in me.”
“But….”
“How about we take it slow and get to know each other a bit more, Eun Ji Yeon?”
“….”
Ji Yeon was taken aback by his words, which passed so casually over a topic that might have been difficult for others.
“We hardly know each other. All we know is each other’s stiff demeanor at work. How about we start by spending more time together and getting a bit closer to understand each other better?”
“I… I’m not ready yet. My previous marriage wasn’t easy. I’m not sure if I can feel the same way about you, Director.”
“You don’t have to be sure about anything right now. I’m not saying we should fall in love right away. That would be hard for me, too. We’ll just spend some good times together, share hobbies, and share our stories more closely. At a pace that you’re comfortable with. And you know what? Maybe you’ll end up falling for me instead?”
His sweet words were enough to make Ji Yeon’s heart flutter.
Ji Yeon was so cautious, fearing that he might hear her heart beating more intensely than usual.
“I can wait. What about you, Ji Yeon?”
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.
