The doctor, who was about to enter the room, stopped abruptly at the sight of the two sturdy men confronting each other.
“Young Master? And on this side…….?”
“I’ll leave for today.”
It seemed that Ijoon, who appeared to be immovable in the face of the doctor’s entrance, easily stepped back more than expected.
Walking briskly, Ijoon grabbed the doorknob. Xiwoo asked him.
“Do you plan to report this to the Association?”
Ijoon knew that Eunha had been admitted to the hospital. Even before Xiwoo.
That means, in other words, there is a high possibility that Ijoon also knows the fact that Eunha ignored the suspension and entered the Busan Unknown Gate.
If the current association member Ijoon knows about it, Eunha had to calculate the potential disadvantages of returning to her.
Having grabbed the doorknob, Ijoon turned around subtly.
The ashy eyes that suddenly met curved into a faint smile.
“Well.”
Thunk.
Leaving only an ambiguous answer, Ijoon disappeared like that.
“Excuse me, Representative. It’s Park Jehwi.”
“Come in.”
Upon Xiwoo’s permission, Jehwi quietly opened the door to the hospital room. It was right next to Eunha’s room, Room 810.
“I heard that you’ll be staying at the hospital with this Hunter for a while, so I brought some things you might need.”
“Just leave them there.”
Xiwoo gestured toward the table next to the sofa. Somehow, he seemed not in a good mood. Jehwi cautiously placed the belongings on the table while keeping an eye on Xiwoo.
“Uh… Representative.”
Instead of leaving the room, Jehwi subtly opened his mouth.
“How is the Hunter doing?”
“…….”.
Swiftly, the blue gaze turned towards Jehwi. As if there were thorns embedded there, Jehwi shivered.
Watching Jehwi, who looked like he had killed someone, Xiwoo withdrew his gaze and dryly opened his mouth.
“For someone who has fought in two major battles, surprisingly unscathed.”
“R-really?”
“The injuries all over the body have miraculously healed without a single scar.”
At Xiwoo’s words, Jehwi let out a relieved sigh. Truly… it was really fortunate.
Was it because the feeling of relief surged like a flood, or for some other reason? Xiwoo, looking at Jehwi who was wiping his reddened eyes, tossed a question.
“How’s my sister?”
“……Huh?”
Sitting cross-legged, Xiwoo looked at Jehwi sideways with his chin resting on his hand.
“How’s my sister doing?”
“Ah.”
Jehwi blinked his eyes slowly.
‘Sister’ probably refers to Jerim. It’s likely he’s asking about her.
“She’s perfectly fine with not a scratch. Now she’s looking for a part-time job to prepare for a full-fledged life in Seoul.”
“Oh?”
Seemingly uninterested, Xiwoo turned his gaze away as if swishing it aside.
Without leaving the room, Jehwi, looking at Xiwoo’s profile, slowly opened his mouth.
“Representative… are you okay?”
“What.”
“Staying here. If it’s uncomfortable, I can stay on behalf of the Representative.”
Soo Hospital had Gu Hoon on long-term admission. Of course, it was a different ward.
If it was because of Eunha’s concern, it would be reasonable for Jehwi to stay here and take care of her on behalf of the representative, who, for some reason, decided to stay despite disliking it.
“If you’re going to do that, why did you resign?”
Xiwoo threw a cold remark.
“…….”.
With nothing to say, Jehwi, with a complex expression, averted his gaze.
“I’ve known Senior for not that long, but I’ve learned one thing.”
Xiwoo, who was tapping his toe, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Senior is someone who knows how to return what he receives. Whether it’s something bad or good.”
“…….”.
“Surely, there must have been something you received from me. Something you wanted to return. Despite the punk on the recording and jumping into the gate. So, this time, it’s your turn again.”
Saying that much, Xiwoo lifted his head.
“But are you still going to end it with a resignation?”
Silence settled.
Xiwoo didn’t say anything more. He just kept his blue gaze fixed on Jehwi, waiting for his response.
“I…”
After a while, Jehwi subtly clenched his fist. His shoulders were faintly trembling.
“I… continue to want to serve you, Hunter. In the future, continuously… yes.”
Somewhere, a muffled, deflated laughter was heard. When Xiwoo raised his head slightly again, his expression seemed to have softened a bit.
“Do as you wish.”
“……Representative.”
Sniffing, Jehwi, with teary eyes, was about to say something, but Xiwoo firmly added.
“But while you’re in the hospital, I’ll be by Senior’s side. It won’t be for long, just about a week, so it shouldn’t be a problem. And…”
For a moment, Xiwoo, who had drawn out the end of his words, lifted his chin thoughtfully.
“Having Father here is the real reason I’m better off staying here.”
Moreover, during Senior’s hospitalization, he didn’t know what would happen. For example, if unwanted guests like Maestro visited again.
“……Yes, Representative.”
Jehwi didn’t object to Xiwoo’s words.
“Then, go out.”
“Ah.”
“Why? Do you still have something more to say?”
Jehwi scratched the back of his neck and hesitated without meeting Xiwoo’s eyes.
Though he wondered if he could tell the Representative about this, with the determination to grasp at straws, Jehwi finally awkwardly opened his mouth.
“Actually, during the battle with the Great Sage, there was an incident where this Hunter’s bracelet got broken.”
“Bracelet?”
Xiwoo tilted his head slightly.
“Yes. A bracelet that the Hunter always wore on the left wrist. I don’t know the details, but it seemed like something very precious to him.”
The moment the bracelet broke, Eunha’s attitude changed dramatically. Even the gaze she held onto the broken bracelet during the return journey to Seoul.
“I want to find the same one for him, but no matter how much I search through accessory shops or online shopping malls, it’s really not easy. So… I was wondering if the Representative might know a place where I can get the bracelet.”
“I don’t know. I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”
“Well, you probably wouldn’t be. I apologize. I mentioned something unnecessary.”
Jehwi smiled awkwardly.
Indeed, Xiwoo wouldn’t know a place to buy a bracelet. It would probably be faster to ask his younger sister.
“But do you really need to buy the same thing?”
Xiwoo, who seemed to be thinking about something, mumbled as if talking to himself.
“W-well, even if I try to find the exact same one, it probably won’t be exactly like the cherished bracelet… but still…”
“No.”
Xiwoo raised his head and looked at Jehwi.
“Isn’t it faster to make it yourself?”
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.
