Tae Yeon felt the same. Sitting on his lap, stroking his hand.
Just as she thought it was inappropriate and tried to move away,
Do Jun, anticipating her reaction, released her hand only to firmly grasp her waist with both hands again.
Startled by the sudden movement, Tae Yeon dropped the hand cream she was holding onto the floor with a thud.
Their gazes intertwined in midair.
Do Jun’s body had always been warm, but tonight it radiated an even more intense heat.
The fact that he was only wearing a robe was concerning.
And the realization that she was sitting on Do Jun’s thighs kept preoccupying her mind.
As Tae Yeon chewed on her lower lip, Do Jun furrowed his brows.
“That habit needs to be corrected.”
He gently stroked her lips, saying,
“Your pretty lips might get bruised, and that worries me.”
Unable to look directly into Do Jun’s face from so close, Tae Yeon kept avoiding his gaze.
Do Jun reached out, cupped her chin, and gently lifted her face to meet his eyes.
Once again, their gazes crossed.
Do Jun closed his eyes and then opened them, and everything was still the same.
Tae Yeon sitting on his knees. The sweet scent emanating from her.
The inexplicable rapid beating of his heart.
Whether it was a dream or not no longer mattered.
The words of his friend Tae Hwan from the evening’s gathering echoed in his head.
“Follow what your heart, not your head, tells you.”
The lips of Tae Yeon that had increasingly caught his eye recently.
What he wanted to confirm now was whether the rapid beating of his heart was because of Tae Yeon or not.
That was it.
Observing Do Jun’s unusual behavior, Tae Yeon asked,
“Do Jun, what’s going on?”
“Nothing’s going on, just something I want to confirm.”
“…….”
“I don’t quite understand this feeling either. What this feeling really is.”
Do Jun tilted his head slightly and looked at her with a languid gaze.
“So, I want to check.”
Do Jun moved his face closer, reducing the distance between them.
“If you dislike it, you can still run away now.”
Tae Yeon remained silent, motionless.
“I will count to three.”
Do Jun’s gaze intensified.
She felt as if she was ensnared in his eyes, unable to move.
She could have easily moved away from him, pushed him back.
Do Jun waited, as if to see her reaction.
As Tae Yeon bit her lower lip, Do Jun slowly began to count.
“One.”
Is this really okay?
Tae Yeon lifted her head to look straight into Do Jun’s dark eyes that captured her entirely.
“Two.”
The fact that she was the only one in those deep eyes strangely pleased her.
Just by looking, they had the power to immobilize each other.
Captivated by his gaze, she stared back at him.
Do Jun counted the final number.
“Three.”
As if the waiting had come to an end, their breaths overlapped in a single moment.
The sensation that started from their lips gradually spread throughout their bodies.
It was curious and mysterious.
Do Jun matched Tae Yeon’s pace, not moving aggressively, gently caressing her lips with his.
That was it. He didn’t delve any deeper or play any mischievous tricks.
That made it all the more puzzling. Despite the desire evident in Do Jun’s eyes, his actions were transparent.
After their lips touched, Tae Yeon suddenly snapped back to reality and pushed Do Jun’s chest away with both hands.
Then, she got off his lap and moved away from him.
Do Jun continued to watch her with a languid gaze.
“Do Jun, about what happened today…”
“A dream.”
“What?”
“Even if it’s not, there’s nothing I can do.”
Do Jun uttered those incomprehensible words and rose from the sofa. Staggering, he grabbed the wall for support and headed into the bedroom first.
“Haah.”
Tae Yeon, staring blankly at where Do Jun disappeared, swept her fallen hair back with one hand and let out a faint sigh.
Even slapping her own cheek didn’t change the reality; it wasn’t a dream, as it hurt.
It was absurd.
“How could it be a dream? I haven’t even drunk any alcohol…”
Touching the spot where Do Jun’s lips had been, she felt a burning heat, as if scorched by fire.
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.
