At Kwon Yool’s question, Seo Yeon’s face instantly darkened and she sat quietly with her lips tightly sealed for a long time.
Did I ask something unnecessary?
“……I’m not sure.”
Breaking the long silence, Seo Yeon opened her mouth.
“Half of me wants to scold them properly, half of me feels pity…… Just like that. Now, that’s how I feel.”
Seo Yeon, who had popped a large strawberry into her mouth, said.
Contrary to her bitter voice, a sweet strawberry scent came from Seo Yeon.
After some consideration, Kwon Yool stood up from his seat and brought over his mobile phone.
“I saw it in a news article.”
“An article?”
“Just a moment.”
Kwon Yool’s fingers moved quickly. He soon found an article from a year ago and showed it.
Let’s learn about the newly changing design registration system!
For our country’s fashion, registering under the design protection law is much more advantageous than copyright!
Fake trademarks are a problem. How to be protected under trademark law.
After Seo Yeon carefully read the article, Kwon Yool went to the Patent Office and court websites and showed related items.
He then began to explain what Seo Yeon could do and the rights she could be assured of.
His words, clear and easy to understand, explaining things she hadn’t yet heard from her assigned attorney, firmly entered and stuck in her ears.
“I think prevention of recurrence is just as important as avoiding responsibility.”
“That’s true. The most important thing is to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
“It can’t be absolute, but it can serve as some sort of safety measure.”
Kwon Yool wanted to be of help to Seo Yeon, by any means.
Even if it meant patting her back as she cried, or providing a small piece of help by showing her an article from a year ago.
“Thank you. I didn’t even think there was such a method.”
“Should I talk to Seo Hee’s brother if you need help?”
When the name Seo Hee came up, Seo Yeon quickly refused.
“No, thank you. Ho Jin is a prosecutor. I’ll ask my friend for details.”
Seeing that he had been able to help even a little, the corner of Kwon Yool’s mouth rose slightly. Seo Yeon, who had been stealing glances at him, came over and asked.
“But how do you remember an article from a year ago?”
“Ah…… It’s just like a camera. Everything I see gets stored. Uselessly.”
“In your head, everything?”
As Seo Yeon, her eyes wide, tapped her own head with her index finger, Kwon Yool nodded.
“Then you don’t need to study in particular. Because you remember everything.”
“Even so, I need to study.”
Looking at Kwon Yool, whose eyes curved softly, Seo Yeon interrogated him, digging into whether he had more unusual abilities.
However, Kwon Yool only repeated that it was nothing significant, appearing embarrassed.
Unable to uncover more information about Kwon Yool, Seo Yeon, having finished her meal, picked up the plate and glass and stood up.
“But what did you intend to do when we met today?”
“That’s a secret. We definitely have to do it later.”
“Oh, I’m very curious now that you’ve said it’s a secret.”
After Seo Yeon placed the dishes on the dishwasher, she took out an artificial tear from the drawer and flopped down on the sofa. When she twisted it with her fingers and applied it to both eyes, Kwon Yool asked.
“Are your eyes dry?”
“I cried so much earlier, so now my eyes are dry.”
“Can I use the microwave?”
When Seo Yeon nodded her head, Kwon Yool warmed a towel soaked in water in the microwave. He then cooled it to an appropriate temperature.
“Do you want to close your eyes? Rest your head on the sofa. Yes, just like that.”
He placed the warm towel on the eyes of Seo Yeon, who had closed her eyes and rested her head.
The comfortable weight, and even the warmth spreading to the jawline, felt good.
“This is the first time I’m doing something like this.”
“I read an article that said applying a warm compress is good when your eyes hurt.”
“Oh. I see. Thanks for letting me know. But while I do this, tell me a story. So that I won’t be bored.”
What story should he tell? Kwon Yool, who was thinking, glanced at the clock.
Even when he entered Seo Yeon’s house, it wasn’t 11 o’clock yet, but now it was already past midnight.
Would Seo Yeon feel uncomfortable if he stayed longer?
Leaning on the sofa, Kwon Yool looked at Seo Yeon thoughtfully.
30 minutes should be okay, right? After all, it’s been just over two hours since they met.
Thinking it would be awkward if the silence lasted longer, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Sometimes, I read good fairy tale books. Would you like me to tell you one? Like an old story?”
Seo Yeon, still with her eyes closed, said ‘yes’.
On a deep night where even the darkness had settled.
Kwon Yool’s soft voice began the story. He chose a story that offered both entertainment and lessons, so the content was also excellent.
Hearing Seo Yeon’s comment that it was fun, a slightly thrilled Kwon Yool fetched another story.
Seo Yeon remained silent, just listening, until his sweet voice finished the second story.
Upon checking the time again, Kwon Yool thought it was time for him to leave.
“Seo Yeon, are your eyes okay now?”
There was no answer.
As Kwon Yool drew closer to Seo Yeon, her head, which had been leaning against the sofa, dropped weakly, along with the lukewarm towel.
Uh… what?
Before she knew it, Seo Yeon had fallen asleep, her body, tense with stress, had softly slumped against Kwon Yool’s shoulder.
Frozen in place, Kwon Yool could only swallow, unable to move a finger.
What should he do? Should he pick her up and carry her to her room?
However, it was inappropriate to enter Seo Yeon’s room without her permission.
But neither could he stay in this uncomfortable position all night.
Should he wake her? Or should he let her sleep?
While Kwon Yool hesitated, he tried to turn his upper body to wake Seo Yeon, but at that moment, her head slid down like it was on a slide and plopped down, precisely onto Kwon Yool’s leg.
“!”
Frozen like a broken robot, he could only move his eyes to check on Seo Yeon’s condition.
She had said that she hadn’t slept a wink since Friday, so he couldn’t bear to wake her now that she was sound asleep.
With pity in his eyes, Kwon Yool took the liberty of looking at Seo Yeon’s face.
He was fascinated by the fact that her distinct facial features were on a face smaller than his palm, and even measured it with his hand outstretched.
His fingers moved, tracing Seo Yeon’s side profile in the air as if drawing a picture.
“Ms. Seo Yeon. I’ll stay right here, beside you. So, tell me whenever you’re tired.”
Even though he couldn’t move or breathe properly in his position, Kwon Yool was delighted with this moment.
Unaware of his affectionate feelings, Seo Yeon rubbed her cheek on Kwon Yool’s leg and soon tossed and turned.
When her legs were perilously hanging over the edge of the sofa, Kwon Yool clenched his fist to prevent her from falling, reaching out cautiously.
Just then, Seo Yeon’s body twisted uncomfortably.
“!”
The warmth of her breath through the thin shirt, the tickling sensation every time she moved her mouth…
Looking down at Seo Yeon, who had pressed her forehead against his stomach, Kwon Yool clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
A long, long night. An unbearable time of patience had just begun for Kwon Yool.
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.
