Ultimately, I didn’t hear the response to my first confession. However, I didn’t regret confessing.
After confessing, I teased Doyul, saying I would buy him meat. Eager to meet the easily deceived Doyul, I hurried home after work. However, due to Olivia’s sudden appearance without any contact, in the end, we had to enter any restaurant.
Olivia disappeared after thoroughly extracting Doyul and me.
While eating gamjatang together, Doyul, who learned belatedly that Olivia had gotten married, seemed quite surprised.
Should have told him in advance.
With Doyul looking confused, and feeling like a conversation was needed, we entered a nearby small cafe.
As thick clouds gathered and swelled, they eventually began pouring down thick raindrops.
While explaining the inexplicable relationship between Olivia, my senior, and me, I found myself rambling with the hope that Doyul would understand, even though I had never wanted or tried to be understood before. Doyul, who had been listening without much reaction to my explanation, stared at the pouring rain for a long time.
How tormented he must be…
I don’t know what he’s thinking with that small head of his, but as soon as it seemed like he should say something, I opened my mouth.
“Hey, Jiseojun.”
Doyul called my name.
“Yeah?”
“Let’s date.”
The words that came out of Doyul’s mouth were something I had never imagined.
On the way back home,
I asked Doyul several times. Was he secretly drinking soju while eating gamjatang, and I even had reasonable suspicions.
“Does that mean we can hold hands?”
Repeatedly asked, Doyul, seeming frustrated, tightly clasped his small hand. Seeing that hand, I wanted to hold it tightly.
Doyul, who had clenched his fist as if about to punch someone, chuckled and nodded.
Doyul’s hand entered mine.
It had been a hand I had held countless times before, but today was different. Doyul’s slightly cold hand was hidden in mine.
“Was my hand always this small?”
“Small? I’ve never thought about it.”
Yeah, it’s small. So it feels like it could easily slip out of my hand at any time. That’s why it’s uneasy, yet happy.
Swallowing the words I couldn’t bring myself to say, I had to endure the strength in Doyul’s hand, which held mine. Whether he knew it or not, Doyul smiled beautifully today.
The first day back from the vacation with Doyul.
Our team’s youngest member looked at me with a meaningful expression. Ignoring that gaze, I focused on the monitor.
“Mr. Ji. You look even better today. Anything good happen?”
Our team leader, who arrived late, frowned as he put down his bag. Why does he frown when asking if anything good happened?
“No, nothing like that.”
“No way.”
As expected, the suspicious gaze of the team leader, who started looking at me with doubtful eyes, merged with the gaze of the youngest member. I quickly stood up from my seat.
“Wait, I’ll go get some coffee.”
Acting nonchalant, I headed towards the pantry. On my way, Lee Kyunghoon Researcher, who had gone to another department and just returned to the office, spotted me.
“Oh? Mr. Ji, where are you going?”
“Yes.”
Afraid of being caught by the team leader and the youngest member, I quickly left my seat.
Bubble sound
I put a capsule in the capsule coffee machine in the pantry and pressed the coffee extraction button. A quite loud sound echoed, and the fragrant smell of coffee started pouring down.
Anyway, my teammates were strangely quick to catch on.
I sent a message to Doyul on my phone.
[Are you okay?]On the way back, Doyul, who had seemed unusually tired, caught my eye.
[Now I’m okay.]There’s no way he’s okay… At that moment, Park Team Leader from the neighboring team walked into the pantry. He discovered me, and with a tired expression, raised his hand in greeting. I beckoned Park Team Leader after looking at the coffee that had just come down.
“Park Team Leader, are you here for coffee?”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
As I spoke, he gave me a wary look as if to say, ‘Why are you talking to me today.’ When I handed him the coffee, Park Team Leader, who was even more guarded, questioned why.
“Why are you giving me this?”
To avoid the wary Park Team Leader, I handed him the coffee and left the pantry.
I went to the nearest convenience store for a drink that’s good for relieving fatigue. Thinking of going to the floor where Doyul was, I hesitated, remembering his awkward expression.
“He probably won’t like it.”
Wondering how to convey the message, I coincidentally ran into Lee Kyunghoon Researcher in the hallway.
“Mr. Ji, why are you here… Oh, you went to the convenience store. You must be tired after coming back from vacation.”
Smiling warmly, Lee Kyunghoon Researcher, holding a document envelope in his hand, greeted me.
“Where are you going?”
“Huh? Oh, I’m going to the Travel Plan Team. I have some documents to submit for the business trip to Belgium.”
Lucky.
I suppressed my laughter and looked at Lee Kyunghoon Researcher.
“Could you pass this to Doyul?”
“Huh?”
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.
