The elevator reached the 9th floor.
After everyone else had exited, Sajun and Taehee were the last to step out.
Once again, Sajun pulled out his smartphone from his trouser pocket and looked at it for a long time.
Despite finding it odd that he was checking his phone so frequently today, Taehee patiently waited.
Once Sajun put his phone back in his pocket, Taehee finally headed for an empty seat.
However, it was Taehee who blocked Sajun from sitting next to her.
“Sajun, you can’t sit down.”
“Why can’t I?”
“Because you need to get movie tickets from the automated kiosk and buy the ‘Love Popcorn Combo Set’, right?”
Hearing that, Sajun frowned instantly.
“I don’t know how to do that. You do it.”
Taehee, who had been waiting for such a response, retorted immediately.
“How are you going to date me if you don’t even know that? Even for a pretend date, you should take such dating actions. Or are you planning to exploit me even in a relationship?”
“It’s not about exploiting; I just don’t know because I’ve never done it,” Sajun replied.
Sajun, like a frog in a well, had never stepped out of his world of absolute authority.
Those seductive lips and refined hands were only used to give orders.
He had never booked movie tickets himself, nor had he ordered anything directly.
That’s why Taehee was asking him to do it.
“If you can’t even book movie tickets, what kind of dating are we talking about? If it’s going to be like before, then don’t bother asking me out. There’s no difference.”
Taehee was playing the dominant role perfectly at the moment.
“Didn’t you say you’d be the absolute boss if we dated? Then you should do everything.”
“…”
“And usually, the one who pays is the boss, right? The one who gets treated has to make up for it physically.”
Taehee had given Sajun her precious credit card, all part of a bigger plan.
Sajun’s expression faltered for a moment under her unexpected fierce attack.
Seeing this, Taehee felt as if a weight had been lifted off her chest.
For the first time, she relished the sweet power of being the absolute boss.
If she could just keep bossing Sajun around like this, maybe dating wouldn’t be so bad.
Wait, what’s going on? Why am I, not Sajun, the one who’s getting swayed?
Collecting her scattered thoughts, Taehee spoke naturally.
“I said I’d treat you fully today, right? Use my card for everything. How you do it is up to you to figure out.”
Sajun’s expression gradually shifted at her authoritative tone.
“Min Taehee, is that all you have to say?”
“No, there’s more. If you’re not confident, it’s not too late to give up. Then I’ll move swiftly to serve the great lord so you won’t have to lift a finger.”
Sajun raised his eyebrows in a look that said, ‘Oh, really?’
So what? Taehee looked up at him with an indifferent expression, showing no fear.
Sajun’s competitive spirit seemed to ignite at her challenging demeanor.
“Min Taehee, wait here. I’ll be back with the tickets and the popcorn set.”
With a look of firm resolution, Sajun turned and strode away.
The noble young master, who knew nothing, was off to conquer his second quest.
Watching Sajun tackle the second quest, Taehee was astonished.
Who told him to use his face instead of his brain?
When Sajun asked for help, two young women eagerly assisted him with the ticket vending machine, taking their time to explain and stealing glances at his face.
Even the staff wouldn’t have been that helpful.
After acquiring the tickets and the Love Combo Set from the snack bar, Sajun sat down beside Taehee.
Both knew today wasn’t about the movie.
So, Taehee didn’t ask what movie it was, and Sajun didn’t bother to tell.
Sajun, squinting at the bustling crowd, remarked casually, “There are really a lot of people.”
The movie theater in Geo couldn’t compare to this crowd.
But feeling the crowd physically is a different experience than just observing from above.
“Seoul on weekends is crowded everywhere. Unlike you, Sajun, most people can’t rest whenever they want. I’m no different. We have to push through crowds, waste time in lines, endure discomfort. This is everyday life for most people. You wouldn’t be able to stand it, would you?”
A daily routine that the noble young master would never know or withstand.
Taehee was indirectly telling Sajun.
If you date me, you’ll face this endlessly, always picking places with no people, avoiding crowded times. You couldn’t handle it, so give up.
Sajun must have realized why Taehee suggested the day-long date.
Watching the silent Sajun, Taehee continued smoothly, “Took us 40 minutes by subway. If we’d driven, we’d still be stuck in the car. Public transport’s best on weekends. That’s why I don’t drive.”
“Just say it straight, Min Taehee. You don’t drive because you’re a bad driver, not because of traffic.”
Sajun chuckled at Taehee’s glare.
Frustratingly adorable Sajun made Taehee laugh too. She couldn’t stay mad.
But then Sajun, wiping his smile, looked straight at her.
“I don’t mind this lifestyle.”
“What do you mean?”
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.
