Yoon, feeling troubled for one reason or another, directed her steps to the seaside where Oksoon resided.
“Our Yoon is here. What brings you here?”
Oksoon greeted her warmly.
“I came to dye my hair.”
“You can dye it over the weekend. Don’t you have work tomorrow?”
“There’s a retreat tomorrow, so I have no lessons to prepare for. That’s why I just dropped by. Is grandfather on the night shift this week?”
“Yes, he is. You must be hungry. Please wait a moment.”
A while later, a modest meal set by Oksoon and Yoon was ready, and they both sat across from each other, engaged in a lively conversation.
Oksoon, while pleased to see Yoon, who had arrived without any prior notice, noticed a certain gloominess in her expression and felt concerned.
“What’s the matter?”
“Hm? Nothing.”
Yoon, feeling a bit embarrassed by Oksoon’s query, forced a brighter smile.
“Speaking of Mr. Cha, his drama’s a success, and everything seems to be going in his favor. It’s fortunate that things got even better after marrying you.”
“Yes.”
Thankfully, Oksoon seemed unaware of Kang Hyun’s scandal.
“But, as things go better, the number of envious people also increases. Thus, you should always be by his side, Yoon.”
“…Yes.”
“To Mr. Cha, you are family. Family always supports.”
“Yes, grandma.”
At Oksoon’s words, Yoon nodded her head.
“I’ll dye your hair.”
After cleaning up, Yoon meticulously dyed Oksoon’s hair, which was already showing a lot of white, to a vibrant shade with a hint of red.
Oksoon looked very satisfied as she checked her reflection from various angles in the mirror. Yoon, seeing such a pleased Oksoon, couldn’t help but hug her tightly.
“Grandma, I love you.”
“What? Have you turned into a child again?”
Since her childhood, Yoon had always clung to Oksoon. She had always been by her side, even sleeping while holding Oksoon’s hand.
Oksoon and Hosik, with their abundant love, made Yoon never feel the absence of her parents. To Yoon, the two were like her real parents.
“I’ve always been your little one, grandma.”
“Yes, that’s true. My dear, I also love our Yoon very much.”
Today, Yoon looked unusually downcast, and Oksoon comforted her by patting her back.
Yoon entered the dim and empty house. When she switched on the lights, the same desolate house greeted her. Slowly, she climbed the stairs.
“Kang Hyun must be late. He said his flight is at 11 am tomorrow.”
Kang Hyun was scheduled to visit Japan for the promotion of ‘Brutal Killer’ for 4 nights and 5 days, starting from tomorrow.
‘No matter how busy he is…’
Yoon felt hurt about Kang Hyun. After the scandal broke out, she thought he should have at least sent her a message.
Especially since this scandal was related to his ex, Jung Hana.
‘Maybe I’m just being too sensitive.’
Her husband was the best actor in Korea. Perhaps, now, he might even become a global actor.
But if her heart got heavy with just one such article, she doubted her ability to stand by him in the future.
With this thought, the position of being a top star’s wife felt intimidating. He was someone who always made the headlines. Could she really stand by such a person?
Whenever she was with him, he always seemed ordinary, so it didn’t deeply register that he was a star. But due to the recent scandal, he seemed like someone from a different world.
Although Yoon usually dealt with situations rationally, this time, concerning Kang Hyun’s scandal, she found it hard to stay composed.
All day, the scandal wouldn’t leave her mind, and the sparks of doubt only grew larger. Yoon didn’t like feeling this way.
‘I can’t go on like this. I need to ask him directly.’
It would be better to have a conversation sooner rather than later to clear up any doubts rather than boiling in uncertainty.
Then she heard someone coming up. Opening the door, she saw Kang Hyun drinking water in the kitchen.
“You’re back?”
“Yes, I thought you were studying, so I entered quietly.”
Having been hassled all day by the scandal news, Kang Hyun seemed irritable and exhausted, but seeing Yoon appeared to ease him a bit.
As Yoon approached, Kang Hyun pulled her into his embrace with one arm, and she nestled into him.
“Your flight is at 11 am tomorrow?”
She looked up and asked.
“Yes.”
“It seems like a long schedule.”
“I have an appointment with the BSK chairman in between.”
Lately, Kang Hyun had been completely focused on his meeting with the BSK chairman.
“Yes.”
Yoon wondered if she should ask after Kang Hyun returned from Japan, and felt momentarily hesitant.
“There won’t even be a moment to breathe. The schedule is quite packed for each day.”
Kang Hyun sighed, already feeling the weight of the packed schedule.
“That busy?”
Seeing his struggle, Yoon gently stroked his back.
“There might not even be time for a call.”
“I see.”
Yoon looked at him, deliberating. Seeing his tired face, she hesitated.
However, the growing feeling of doubt urged her to clear things up sooner.
“Um, Kang Hyun…”
“Hm, what?”
Kang Hyun, who had been burying his face in her soft hair, mumbled.
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.
