My Sweet Enemy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 15
I saw the bloodstain on your clothes and found out that Nok Hyeon’s younger sibling had died, so I said it out of concern.
It definitely wasn’t said with ill intent.
……Or was it really not?
Wasn’t I excited seeing my husband’s Adam’s apple move?
Tae In asked herself.
“Isn’t it just about sleeping together?”
Tae In avoided eye contact awkwardly and spoke vaguely.
Just thinking about what had happened in bed a few days ago made her heart race uncontrollably.
“But why are you blushing?”
Nok Hyeon lightly tapped Tae In’s flushed cheek.
“…….”
“Then I’ll get the wrong idea.”
Nok Hyeon’s lips curved into a soft, inviting smile.
Honestly, such a bewitching face.
“No, I guess I said something unnecessary.”
As Tae In tried to head downstairs, Nok Hyeon grabbed her arm.
“You said you’d do that for me—pat, pat.”
An uncharacteristically gentle word slipped from his lips.
Despite his refreshing words, his gaze felt heavy.
Where Nok Hyeon’s eyes landed—her throat—felt burning hot, so Tae In absentmindedly rubbed it with her hand.
Nok Hyeon lay on the bed and patted the empty space beside him. Reluctantly, Tae In lay facing him and placed her hand on his forehead. He still felt feverish.
“Why do you still have a fever?”
“Because I haven’t slept.”
“Why can’t you sleep?”
“Too much work?”
Their strange conversation continued.
“Shouldn’t work decrease the higher your position gets?”
“But responsibility increases instead.”
Tae In, gazing quietly into his deep eyes, parted her small lips.
“If I regain my memories, will your workload ease a bit?”
“Probably?”
If Tae In recovered her memories, she and Lee Kyung wouldn’t have come to the villa, and Lee Kyung would focus solely on Nok Hyeon, so his burden would lessen.
“Are you frustrated because I can’t remember?”
“Hmm.”
At first, Nok Hyeon had looked at amnesiac Tae In with a pained, troubled expression—clearly displeased.
So why was he giving such an ambiguous answer now?
While she was lost in thought, Nok Hyeon spoke again.
“Sometimes I even think it’d be better if you never remembered.”
Tae In didn’t immediately grasp the meaning behind his words.
“Why……?”
“……It’s exhausting—everyone around me is an enemy.”
“…….”
“So I hope you’re not one of them.”
Did he mean he hoped I wouldn’t become his enemy once I regained my memories?
She wanted to ask, but Nok Hyeon had already closed his eyes.
He must have been truly exhausted—he really hadn’t slept for days.
Tae In gently patted Nok Hyeon’s shoulder, careful not to wake him.
Had she known before losing her memory that Nok Hyeon, who always seemed so strong, could also look so lonely?
If she’d known, maybe she wouldn’t have so easily suggested divorce.
It was a night filled with countless shifting thoughts.
The next morning,
Tae In opened her eyes to sunlight pounding against her eyelids.
Nok Hyeon was still asleep.
She just kept staring at his sleeping face.
Waking up to the sight of my handsome husband’s face—
Marriage really was a good institution.
Tae In looked at Nok Hyeon as if trying to engrave his face into her memory.
“What, do you like just looking at me?”
Startled by Nok Hyeon’s sudden voice, Tae In jumped.
When on earth did he wake up?
“……No, I mean—not exactly *that* much.”
She cleared her throat awkwardly, trailed off, then glanced at him and added,
“I like you even when I’m not looking.”
At Tae In’s confident declaration, Nok Hyeon let out an involuntary chuckle.
Comparing past Tae In with present Tae In had become meaningless—he could only accept her as she was now.
“What about you?”
Tae In asked cautiously.
“Oh—never mind. I already know your answer.”
She covered Nok Hyeon’s mouth as if to say she understood without him speaking.
Nok Hyeon laughed softly.
“But hey—do you even know how old I am?”
“Of course. You’re three years older than me.”
“You used to speak formally to me without fail.”
He actually preferred this version.
Past Tae In had been famously polite—and distant.
“They say informal speech is essential if you want to get close.”
“Who says that?”
“A drama.”
After saying that, Tae In placed her hand back on his forehead.
His fever had gone down from yesterday but he still felt slightly warm.
Just as she tried to pull her hand away, Nok Hyeon gently caught it.
Their eyes met and held for several seconds.
Her heart pounded so fast it made her dizzy.
“……Don’t you have to go to work?”
“I took a vacation. I think I overdid it.”
“Why suddenly today?”
“Because I suddenly wanted to take the day off.”
Nok Hyeon released Tae In’s hand.
Feeling the lingering warmth, Tae In tightly clenched her own hand.
“You should take care of me—I’m your loving husband and I’m sick, after all.”
He didn’t actually look that sick.
But was Nok Hyeon really the playful type who’d fake illness? Not really.
“……Well, okay then. So you’re sticking with me all day?”
“Yeah. Like newlyweds.”
At the word “newlyweds,” Tae In’s ears turned red.
Nok Hyeon slowly sat up.
“Where are you going?”
“To shower. If you’re not going to wash me, wait downstairs.”
Tae In nodded, her face deeply flushed.
Nok Hyeon removed his bathrobe and stepped into the bathroom, turning on the water.
The lukewarm stream washed over his solid, overheated body.
How absurd—why is he so cute?
After his shower, Nok Hyeon called Lee Kyung.
Yes, Managing Director. This is Jung Yi Kyung.
“Director Hwang.”
We’ve recorded his confession about Kang Ji Un. It was indeed Kang Ji Un’s doing.
Nok Hyeon rubbed his temples with his fingers.
He’d once hinted that Ji Un had dabbled in drugs before their father collapsed.
Was this all because of that?
What should we do about Director Yoon?
“It’s time to make our move. Leave him be.”
After ending the brief call, Nok Hyeon headed downstairs.
Halfway down, he froze—ear-splitting noise was coming from the first floor.
It sounded like a war had broken out.
Nok Hyeon hurried down the stairs.
Tae In, pale with shock, raised her palms.
“It’s okay—I’m fine.”
After quickly checking on her, Nok Hyeon let out a short sigh.
“Everything except you is *not* fine.”
Behind Tae In, pots and pans were scattered everywhere—along with everything else that had been in the cabinets, now on the floor.
Nok Hyeon approached and carefully inspected her for injuries.
Once satisfied she was unharmed, he started cleaning up.
“What were you trying to do?”
“Porridge—you said you felt sick.”
Nok Hyeon looked at her with amused interest.
Tae In calmly resumed cooking.
When he tried to help, she stopped and gently pushed him back with both hands.
“Patients should sit quietly.”
Nok Hyeon had no choice but to sit down, resting his chin in his hands as he watched her.
“Sorry, but can I switch to soup instead?”
She asked with a serious look—clearly things weren’t going smoothly.
“Whatever you like.”
Nok Hyeon replied casually, then stood behind her.
He neatly retied her loosely tied hair as it slipped, then stepped lightly away.
Tae In flinched momentarily but resumed cooking.
Nok Hyeon suddenly felt an urge to bite her reddened earlobe.
Stella, who had been lazily napping near Tae In, must have sensed Nok Hyeon’s dark thoughts—she suddenly barked loudly at his feet.
Nok Hyeon pressed a finger to his lips.
Your owner’s using a knife—be quiet, okay?
Stella seemed to understand the silent signal and immediately closed her mouth.
A while later, an odd hybrid of porridge and soup that Tae In had made was placed before Nok Hyeon.
Hesitating under Tae In’s expectant, sparkling gaze, he reluctantly picked up his spoon.
“How is it? I think it turned out okay…”
“It’s delicious.”
He meant it.
And he was slightly surprised.
“I was surprised too. Guess everything I make with my hands turns out well.”
Seeing his expression, Tae In nodded knowingly, pressing her twitching lips together with pride.
Her smug little face was adorable.
Despite Tae In’s protests, Nok Hyeon washed his empty bowl himself.
Afterward, they shared ice cream and watched TV.
Since he’d said he was sick, Tae In fussed over him endlessly.
It felt like they hadn’t shared such ordinary moments—not just in a long time, but perhaps ever.
His fever had long since broken, yet for some reason, he still wanted to keep pretending he was sick.
Quietly watching TV, Tae In suddenly remembered something, went into the room, and came back out dressed oddly.
It was the outfit she’d worn the day she’d disappeared and returned.
Well—maybe the flower color was slightly different.
“I have to take Stella for a walk.”
Tae In seemed unusually excited.
Nok Hyeon glanced between Stella, sprawled asleep on the floor, and Tae In.
“You’re the one who wants to go.”
Even at his sharp remark, Tae In didn’t flinch—she just put on a cap.
At her bizarre outfit, Nok Hyeon let out a helpless laugh.
He nudged Stella, saying, “Look at your owner,” but Stella remained deep in sleep.
Cleverly, Tae In lured Stella with a treat, clipped on her leash as she approached, then picked up the bewildered dog and walked toward the front door without even looking back.
Nok Hyeon raised an eyebrow.
“You’re leaving me behind?”
“……Well, you’re sick—it can’t be helped.”
Her tone sounded genuinely regretful, but Nok Hyeon knew better.
“You said you liked me so much.”
“……Huh?”
“You wrote page after page in your notebook about the person you like…”
At that, Tae In dashed over and clamped her hand over his mouth.
Her flustered face contrasted sharply with Nok Hyeon’s playful grin.
Nok Hyeon pulled her hand away and pressed it to his own cheek.
“No more fever?”
“……Yeah, I guess not.”
At her dazed reaction, Nok Hyeon chuckled softly and ruffled her fluffy hair.
“Let’s go together.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
