If she had to go somewhere, wouldn’t it be better to go to a place she was familiar with rather than somewhere unknown?
She had visited Busan a few times for business trips to the factory.
Reading Taeyeon’s thoughts, Yunji tapped on the phone on the table and said,
“Let’s not tell my parents that you’re my friend.”
She added that it would be nice for sorting out her thoughts since the guesthouse was spacious and quiet.
“How many days should we stay there?”
“As long as you’re comfortable.”
Reading Taeyeon’s messenger window, Yunji sent the address of her parents’ guesthouse and smiled.
“Jin Taeyeon, I’m always on your side. You know that, right?”
She was too grateful to express her thanks.
When I open my mouth, it feels like the emotions I’ve been holding back are about to burst out. So, after taking a sip of coffee and suppressing the emotions with a gulp, Taeyeon finally opened her mouth.
“Thank you…….”.
“Why are you making a fuss over something like this?”
In fact, she felt somewhat relieved. The fact that she had a friend with whom she could finally release the words she had always kept inside was comforting.
With that, Taeyeon got up, as if finishing lunch and leaving her seat. When she was about to return to the company, a message arrived on her silent phone.
[Can you meet me today?]It was sent by Taejin. As if resigned, Taeyeon quickly replied.
The way back to the company was quite cold. The season had come where a thin trench coat couldn’t ward off the cold anymore. Spring, summer, and fall spent with Dojun. The winter season seemed irreplaceable with him. With that thought in mind, Taeyeon shrugged off her trench coat and hurried her steps towards the company.
Dojun mentioned that he would be late to leave due to an executive meeting to report on the reaction to the new product. Thanks to that, Taeyeon could comfortably meet Taejin. As they entered a private bar, the dim atmosphere welcomed Taeyeon. Taejin was sitting at a table in the corner.
“You came? Sit down.”
Taejin, who had splendidly dressed up, raised her adorned hand and gestured to the empty seat.
“Do you want a drink too?”
“Sure.”
“Yeah. It’s better for you to drink today.”
As soon as the drinks arrived, Taejin stared at the tense-faced Taeyeon.
“Why do you think your mom and dad were so obsessed with you all this time?”
At the sudden words, Taeyeon’s eyes flickered.
She thought Taejin might scold her for suddenly leaving after the agreed period with Dojun. Why was he suddenly talking about Chairman Jin and Hyesuk?
“I don’t know, really.”
Upon hearing Taeyeon’s resigned voice, Taejin spat out in a harsh tone.
“Because they’re not your biological parents.”
“…….”
Taeyeon wondered if she misheard something. Then, a moment later, she asked hesitantly.
“Sister, what are you talking about?”
“Just what I said.”
Taeyeon thought. Finally, what had happened to Taejin’s head after sitting in front of her like this. Or, if not that, was she making up an unreasonable story to tease her? She thought about it.
When Taeyeon showed an expression of disbelief, Taejin, as if expected, took something out of her bag. Then, she casually placed a piece of paper on the table.
“What is this?”
“You’ll know when you look.”
Taeyeon’s hazel eyes read the large letters written on the document.
Genetic test result report.
It couldn’t be true.
Instinctively, she knew that if she opened this report, she would find out if what Taejin said was true or false. So, she couldn’t easily peruse it.
And she placed a piece of paper on the table.
“What’s this?”
“You’ll know when you look.”
Taeyeon’s hazel eyes read the large letters written on the document.
Genetic test result report.
Unbelievable.
Instinctively, she knew that if she opened this report, she would find out if what Taejin said was true or false. So, she couldn’t easily peruse it.
Watching Taeyeon hesitate, Taejin impatiently uttered.
“What are you doing? Don’t you open it.”
She couldn’t open it.
Because if she did, even the remaining sanity she had barely held onto might shatter.
Taeyeon closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
“Fine. If you don’t want to check, then don’t.”
“No.”
When Taejin tried to take the report again, Taeyeon stopped her.
Yes, having heard this story from Taejin, if she didn’t confirm it, her curiosity would persist until the end.
With trembling fingertips, Taeyeon slowly opened the report.
“…….”
She was speechless at the last words visible.
Looking at the shocked Taeyeon, Taejin laughed as if finding it amusing.
“Hey, I had the same expression when I first found out, you know?”
“……. ”
“Your mom and dad planned to hide the fact until they died.”
Taeyeon read the sentence over and over again.
[Since there are three or more incompatible alleles, the biological relationship is not established.]“Unbelievable…….”
“That’s right. We looked so alike that there was never a single doubt.”
Taeyeon slowly raised her head and stared at Taejin.
The trembling eyes quickly regained composure.
Therefore, they looked even colder.
“When did you find out?”
“What? That you’re not our parents’ biological daughter?”
“Yeah.”
“I don’t know. Quite some time ago, I guess?”
As if she really had no interest in someone else’s story, Taejin answered casually.
“How did you find out?”
“It wasn’t even a secret. I accidentally overheard Mom and Dad talking in the living room.”
“Sigh.”
Taeyeon touched her forehead with one hand and closed her eyes tightly.
The world she had been living in seemed completely false.
Her heart crumbled down like a landslide.
Looking at Taeyeon like that, Taejin, as if finding it amusing, silently lifted the corners of her mouth.
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.
