Late afternoon, a little past 3 o’clock.
After Sangcheol, who was causing a commotion outside Kiyeon’s office, disappeared, Kiyeon continued to lie on the sofa, procrastinating work by talking on the phone with Yoo In. He was resorting to forced excuses.
“The weather is bad, I miss Nam Yoo In, I don’t want to work. Do I really have to stay in the office like this?”
-It’s the first time I’ve heard you say you don’t want to work.
“That’s right. Can’t you see how tough it is for me right now? I’m not even worried about Nam Yoo In.”
-It’s not like that.
In a troubled tone, Yoo In sniffled. After a moment of silence, she spoke again.
“You postponed work because of me yesterday. At this rate, the secretary might really hate me.”
Listening silently, Kiyeon, who had been lying down for a long time, suddenly sat up, frowning slightly. The unexpected intrusion of Jinseok into the conversation was unpleasant.
“Why is Nam Yoo In bothering with this secretary? It’s been strange since last time. Are you two secretly becoming close?”
-No. We’ve only exchanged greetings a few times. When could we have become close?
Although the man who leaned his head on the back of the sofa knew that Nam Yoo In wouldn’t do that, he felt upset and muttered in a small voice.
“Don’t greet this secretary in the future. No need to. Even if the secretary does, just ignore Nam Yoo In.”
On the other side, Yoo In, who heard the provocative remark, let out a soft laugh.
-How can you ignore someone who’s greeting you? It’s not like we’re not on speaking terms at all.
“As if we’re not on speaking terms… Shall I make it like that, then?”
At that, Yoo In, seeming truly helpless, laughed and said,
-CEO. You shouldn’t include personal emotions in official matters. You know that, right?
“No. I don’t know.”
-I’m sure you do.
“Nam Yoo In still doesn’t know me well. I might even make this secretary unemployed right away.”
Kiyeon and Jinseok had a somewhat longstanding personal friendship.
Even though their personalities didn’t match, and their tendencies were completely opposite, they had never been close. However, since entering the entertainment industry, Sangcheol unexpectedly assigned them to work together as a secretary, which was quite surprising.
Now, there might be no one who knows Kiyeon as well as Jinseok, but that doesn’t mean there’s no reason to make someone unemployed.
If Nam Yoo In causes trouble, he should handle it, no matter what.
“If Nam Yoo In agrees to play with me today, I won’t fire this secretary.”
When the sound of a faint laugh, like a gentle breeze, transparently stimulated the sense of hearing, Kiyeon’s lips also curved smoothly upwards.
Kiyeon liked it when Yoo In laughed. It had been that way since their first meeting. He went to great lengths to see her smile, and it was still the same.
Although crying would be pretty too, the crazy thought of wanting to make her cry was long gone.
Of course, crying is also insanely beautiful, but it’s too pitiful and heartbreaking, so much so that he doesn’t want to see it again.
-Then, what should we do for fun?
The kindly asked question carried a different meaning, and his heart tightened. My kind, gentle, and affectionate Nam Yoo In.
Kiyeon, who drew a deep smile, responded in a low voice:
“Nam Yoo In, come with me alone.”
“Could you have told me in advance that you were coming here? You dressed too casually.”
Yoo In, lowering her eyebrows and pouting, complained to Kiyeon’s back. The man, turning around and looking back, smiled in response.
“That’s enough. You look pretty anyway.”
“It’s not enough. You’re in a suit, and look at me, what is this?”
“What do you mean?”
“You dressed up nicely, CEO.”
“No, not that.”
Kiyeon, instead of finishing his sentence, called out the name of an employee at the entrance of the lounge bar.
Following the guide, walking on the carpet while making sure the employee ahead couldn’t hear, Kiyeon leaned close to Yoo In and whispered.
“Jagi, I said.”
“What are you talking about?” Yoo In widened her eyes. Kiyeon, curious, lightly tapped the brim of Yoo In’s white ball cap with his index finger.
“Try it again, jagi.”
Biting her lip and nodding, Yoo In, who tightly closed her mouth, pouted, and her cheek puffed up in dissatisfaction. There’s a lot she doesn’t like.
Kiyeon’s playful and elegant gaze, mixed with mischievousness, sparkled like that of a child.
“It sounds good. Rather than calling me CEO stiffly. Come on, try it, jagi.”
“…I don’t want to.”
The private room left for the two was cozy and comfortable.
Above the city where the silence of darkness began to descend, neon signs and lights bloomed like flowers, and sitting on top of that, Nam Yoo In, like a delicate butterfly, perched on a soft velvet chair, her lips curved into a slight smile.
Pulling out a plush velvet chair for Yoo In, Kiyeon burst into cheerful laughter.
“Now, take off your hat. Let me see your face properly.”
“But my hair is a mess.”
“I’m the only one here, so who cares?”
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.
