Tae In was taken aback to see Nok Hyun, who was always confident, looking out of sorts. However, she pretended not to be startled and soothed Nok Hyun’s shoulder.
“Did someone bother you at work?”
A faint chuckle could be heard.
“Hmm, will you scold them for me?”
“I haven’t been slacking off in my training just for this moment.”
After Tae In confidently replied, she raised her clumsily clenched fist.
Nok Hyun, who turned his head slightly to look at her small, round fist, burst into laughter.
At the sound of his low, pleasant laughter, Tae In felt a ticklish sensation around her heart.
Then she suddenly noticed bloodstains on the sleeve of Nok Hyun’s rolledup shirt.
Tae In grabbed his wrist to check. It was blood.
Wondering if there was more blood elsewhere, she unbuttoned his vest to check inside.
Luckily, there were no bloodstains anywhere else. Tae In wanted to check inside his shirt, but Nok Hyun’s gaze, which seemed fascinated by her hand, was too intense.
“Are you hurt?”
Unlike Tae In who asked urgently, Nok Hyun was relaxed.
“No, it’s my blood.”
“Really?”
That was strange.
Tae In made a suspicious face.
“Why don’t you check, like last time?”
Upon recalling that time, Tae In stopped her hand and looked at Nok Hyun.
Her eyes were moist, as if worry overtook her irritation at his teasing tone.
“Then whose blood is it?”
“Umm, I think it splattered when I was breaking up a fight.”
“Really?”
Tae In looked Nok Hyun up and down with a suspicious face.
Nok Hyun brushed Tae In’s long hair to one side and rested his forehead on her bare shoulder.
“It feels cool.”
His forehead on her shoulder was noticeably warm.
Tae In dragged Nok Hyun onto the sofa as if pulling him along.
“I said I’m fine.”
Despite the sleepy voice mixed with laughter, Tae In’s face was firm.
Tae In covered Nok Hyun with a blanket and rummaged through the first aid kit.
There was no fever reducer, no matter how much she searched.
Lying on his arm, Nok Hyun watched Tae In’s actions. Seeing her move around busily with her small body and the puppy following her around seemed to soothe the irritation he had felt all day.
Tae In rummaged through every corner of the house.
Even though it was getting dark, she thought there might be a pharmacy open somewhere when she received a call from Lee Kyung.
Tae In received the call with the door firmly closed.
“Ms. Lee Kyung?”
I was worried about the director. His phone was off.
“Did something happen? His clothes are bloodstained and his body is burning up…….”
The blood was from a minor accident and the fever… it’s that time. There should be fever reducers in the cabinet.
“What do you mean ‘it’s that time’?”
…..
Lee Kyung carefully held her words. Tae In felt something was off.
“Is it something you can’t tell me?”
No. Anyway, he knew before he lost his memory, and he’s going to regain his memory soon. It’s the anniversary of the director’s younger brother’s death, soon. Around that time, his condition is always bad without reason.
This time, it was Tae In who couldn’t continue speaking easily.
He had lost his younger brother.
Tae In wanted to ask when it happened and how much Nok Hyun had struggled, but she couldn’t ask.
“Thank you for telling me.”
Tae In hung up the phone and opened a web page on her phone.
There was a lot of information about Nok Hyun, but nothing about his brother.
Tae In gave up and quickly searched for Gang Mo Ra.
[Gruesome car accident scene, only the eldest son, Mr. Gang Mo, miraculously survived.]Tae In clicked on the article.
It was written that the dump truck hit the car the two were riding in from behind, and in the end, Nok Hyun’s brother died.
Tae In put down her phone and searched for the fever reducer.
While pouring water, she was lost in thought. Nok Hyun survived alone in the same car, his sibling died. She couldn’t even dare to imagine what kind of mindset he must have had.
If it was such a big shock that he fell ill every year around this time without any reason, he might have had nightmares from time to time.
Whenever he had nightmares, the pain and sorrow of that time must have vividly come to mind.
For some reason, it didn’t seem like someone else’s story to Tae In. Familiar sadness and pain were seeping from the deepest part of her heart.
Only when the water began to fill her palm did Tae In stop her thoughts.
Was it right to worry about Nok Hyun?
Her situation might have been worse.
Tae In shook her head and went to the sofa, but Nok Hyun was nowhere to be seen.
As she went up to the second floor, Nok Hyun, who had just come out of the shower wearing only a bathrobe, looked down at her.
“I brought a fever reducer……”
“Ah, thanks.”
Nok Hyun took the medicine and water from Tae In.
Tae In stole glances at Nok Hyun drinking water.
Her gaze was fixed on his moving Adam’s apple.
Just below, the distinctly defined pectoral muscles made her breath stop.
“Why.”
Nok Hyun, who sensed the blatant gaze, tilted his head slightly.
“Do you not need me today?”
“What?”
“If you’re scared because you think you’re going to have a nightmare, or if you need comforting, I can be with you.”
Tae In conveyed her sincerity.
She wanted to be with him. She wanted to find her memory quickly and be by his side as a perfect wife.
She wanted to go anywhere with him and stand by Nok Hyun’s side as if it was obvious.
And she realized anew.
‘The person I like is this person right in front of me.’
And one more thing.
“……Your words just now.”
“Huh?”
“Are you suggesting we sleep together?”
She also realized that she should be more careful with her words in front of Kang Nok Hyun.
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.
