My Sweet Enemy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 3
Tae In felt strange.
It was as if someone else was speaking through her mouth.
She had thought the document was unfamiliar, but the moment her eyes skimmed over it, the contents imprinted themselves in her mind as if they had always been there.
Everything felt suspicious, yet the contents of that document didn’t seem false.
Although wary, she hadn’t felt hostility—yet the words that came out of her mouth were sharp as a finely honed blade.
Is this who I really am? she wondered. Could it be true that I really didn’t have a single friend?
“So what I’m saying is…!”
The instant Nok Hyeon told her to leave, the fear that had been lurking inside her truly surfaced.
The sharp-tongued version of herself vanished somewhere, and Tae In stood there hesitating like a helpless child.
“It’s just suffocating, that’s all. Suffocating.”
Tae In truly felt suffocated. She couldn’t remember why she’d had the accident or why she’d lost her memory—and she had no idea when it might return.
Looking up at her husband’s sharp gaze, Tae In slowly lowered her head.
Nok Hyeon wore a sullen expression Tae In had never seen before. Confused by Tae In’s unpredictable behavior, Nok Hyeon clicked his tongue.
Even as she watched Nok Hyeon’s reaction, Tae In couldn’t hold back what she wanted to say.
“If people could deliberately erase memories, nobody in the world would suffer over their embarrassing pasts.”
“Ha….”
Nok Hyeon let out a short sigh and tossed his phone to Lee Kyung. Lee Kyung caught it lightly and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She was inching backward stealthily, clearly trying to sneak away just like yesterday.
“It’s not part of my job to watch you two fight.”
Before Nok Hyeon could grab her, Lee Kyung swiftly snatched up her bag and dashed toward the front door.
“Ji Eun Seok will be here soon. Consider the work report done—just as you saw a moment ago.”
With those words, Lee Kyung vanished, leaving Nok Hyeon alone with Tae In once again.
Tae In, who had been somewhat agitated, now seemed calmer—but for some reason, she looked sulky.
Nok Hyeon silently watched her for a while, then pulled her into an embrace and seated her on a chair.
Startled by the sudden gesture, Tae In didn’t resist him.
Nok Hyeon unwound the bandage barely clinging to Tae In’s ankle and began rewrapping it carefully.
At the unexpected touch of his fingers on her ankle, Tae In felt strangely embarrassed.
“Was it really an arranged marriage?”
Nok Hyeon, uncharacteristically, hesitated for a moment—Lee Kyung’s words echoing in his mind.
“Maybe losing her memory was a blessing for Seo Tae In. Besides, he’s her ideal type, right? She’s beating you to the punch before she regains her memory and demands a divorce.”
Before the accident, Tae In had demanded a divorce.
And Nok Hyeon still needed her.
“No. We got married because we loved each other.”
Not an arranged marriage?
Then why does he look at his beloved wife like that?
Yet the way he gently bandaged her ankle seemed genuine.
Maybe he’s just bad at expressing himself.
After wrapping the bandage for a while, Nok Hyeon held out his hand.
What’s this for?
Tae In tilted her head in confusion for a moment, then placed her hand on his outstretched palm.
Nok Hyeon looked up at her.
“The tape.”
“Oh….”
Embarrassed, Tae In picked up the white tape from the table and handed it to him.
She stole a glance at Nok Hyeon as he tore off a piece and stuck it down.
His refined features and long lashes, casting shadows, held her gaze—Tae In unconsciously held her breath.
He was so beautiful it made her earlier admiration in the mirror seem foolish.
Beyond just being her ideal type, he was clearly attractive to anyone.
Indeed, this man was harmless.
‘Whatever he might have done wrong, I’ve already forgiven him.’
Tae In realized she was easily swayed by handsome faces.
And she became certain: before losing her memory, she had loved this man.
Otherwise, her heart wouldn’t race and her body wouldn’t react like this.
Wherever Nok Hyeon’s hands had touched felt intensely warm.
And it carried a sweet fragrance.
Inhaling that scent made her chest ache, as if something were on the verge of surfacing in her memory.
Once he finished wrapping and securing the tape, Nok Hyeon stood up. Tae In reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes before he could walk away.
“What do you mean I’m in danger?”
When Nok Hyeon didn’t answer, Tae In pressed on.
“Was the accident deliberate? Did someone try to kill me?”
“…Yeah.”
“Could it be… my own family?”
Tae In, who had kept her head down this whole time, finally looked up and met Nok Hyeon’s eyes.
Nok Hyeon looked unnervingly immaculate—too flawless, even.
He had no discernible flaws, appearing like a perfectionist who tolerated no weaknesses.
With a face devoid of pity or emotion, he spoke in a voice carrying no feeling.
“That’s what I think. That’s why I hid you.”
She’d only thrown out the question as a guess. Even if her family was dysfunctional, they certainly wouldn’t stop looking for her.
Tae In grimaced in pain.
Nok Hyeon watched her silently, then pulled out his phone and handed it to her.
“Search your name.”
Tae In glanced between the phone and Nok Hyeon’s face, then opened a browser and typed in her own name.
The photo next to the name “Seo Tae In” was indeed her.
Seo Tae In, businesswoman.
Deceased: June 6, 2022.
Deceased…?
After being overwhelmed by work all morning, Se Ji sank deep into her chair to catch her breath.
She hadn’t slept properly for days, yet her body felt refreshed.
She had just begun to enjoy this rare good mood when her unwelcome visitor barged in without even knocking, instantly souring her mood.
“You redid the whole interior, huh?”
It was her younger sister, Se Young. Se Young scanned the office, clearly transformed from its previous state, and gave a slight wave of her hand.
Secretary Im, who had been waiting nearby, hurriedly placed refreshments on the table.
Se Young popped both a macaron and a dacquoise into her mouth at once. After taking a sip of her latte, she scrunched up her face.
“Hey, this is low-fat milk, right?”
“Ah… No. Since you didn’t specify, I didn’t change it. Should I—”
Before Secretary Im could finish, Se Young splashed the latte onto her face.
“Why are you the only one who doesn’t know I’m on a diet? Why!”
At Se Young’s outburst, Se Ji straightened her back.
“Seo Se Young, what do you think you’re doing in someone else’s office? Secretary Im, that’s all for now.”
“I’m sorry, Department Head.”
Once Secretary Im left, Se Young cleared her throat with an awkward cough, glancing at Se Ji’s expression.
“Hyung, I’ve been thinking…”
Wondering what nonsense she’d spout next, Se Ji frowned.
Se Young brushed off the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and spoke.
“You can have the company. I’ll just take the real estate under Tae In’s name.”
Se Young spoke as if bestowing great generosity, prompting Se Ji to burst out laughing.
“Did this company—Tae Gang—ever belong to you? ‘Giving’ something implies you once owned it.”
Se Ji stood up and walked closer to Se Young.
Her face, which had been struggling to suppress a laugh, suddenly turned serious as she continued.
“You never even dared to try taking it, let alone actually owning it.”
Se Young’s mood hit rock bottom. It was always like this. Just because she was smart enough to earn their stepfather’s trust, she looked down on everyone.
But Se Young couldn’t talk back to Se Ji. She knew better than anyone how cruel and vicious Se Ji could be.
When Se Ji wanted something, she’d stop at nothing to get it.
“So I’m saying I won’t be greedy for anything else.”
At Se Young’s subdued tone, Se Ji let out a faint scoff.
“You mean you can’t be greedy.”
“Then are you saying you’ll keep everything for yourself?”
“I’ve already taken everything worth taking. Those earrings, necklace, bracelet, bags—you took all of Seo Tae In’s, didn’t you?”
“So what if I wear them? There’s no one left to use them anyway!”
Unable to hold back any longer, Se Young shouted.
“You were already rummaging through her room like a rat before Seo Tae In even died—why act so sanctimonious now?”
While Se Ji scrambled for honor and power, Se Young busied herself with satisfying her material desires. She always craved more, and even possessing things never felt enough.
After all, they’d been desperately poor before their mother remarried.
“Are we really going to act like this, as family? Even if Father dotes on you now, he’s still an outsider. We should stick together.”
“I don’t trust people who call themselves ‘family.’ They’ve got zero ability but constantly scheme to latch on and suck you dry.”
Se Ji patted Se Young’s shoulder and gave a sweet smile.
Se Young slapped her hand away.
“Fine, let’s say that’s true. What about Secretary Im? Are you planning to keep dragging around that girl Seo Tae In used to have?”
“Half-baked loyalty, principles, or a sense of duty—they all vanish if you double their pay. Do you know what offer truly tempts the money-hungry?”
What nonsense was she about to spout next?
Se Young bit down hard on her lower lip.
Ever since Seo Tae In died, Se Ji had been acting as though she were queen—pathetic and infuriating.
Se Ji picked up a macaron and shoved it straight into Se Young’s mouth.
“Oh, how could you possibly understand? Just cram another macaron into that mouth of yours and be quiet.”
Se Young chewed and swallowed the macaron roughly, then widened her eyes.
“…Hyung, are you done talking?”
“No, I’ve been holding back quite a bit—punishment for being stuck with someone like you as a sister. I’ve been holding my tongue.”
“Yeah, right. If you ever irritate me enough, I’ll just kill you, won’t I?”
Se Ji laughed at Se Young as if she were ridiculous—until Se Young spoke again.
“So did you kill her? Our Tae In?”
“What?”
“You benefit the most from Seo Tae In’s death, don’t you? Isn’t this position one you climbed over her body to reach?”
Se Young openly provoked her, but Se Ji remained completely unmoved, staring back with her usual empty eyes.
“You’re wrong. Only losers like you step on others to climb up. Not me. The only person I compete against is myself.”
Se Ji glanced down at Se Young’s trembling fists and continued.
“Go ahead—take every house, plot of land, and building under Seo Tae In’s name. Your small, pitiful satisfaction with those things is just adorable.”
“Hey, Seo Se Ji!”
Se Ji burst into amused laughter, prompting Se Young to shout immediately.
“But couldn’t you at least take off that ridiculous necklace? It doesn’t suit you at all.”
Se Young hadn’t dared call her by name or say “hey” ever since Se Ji held a knife to her neck—but now, she’d completely lost her composure.
“Stop interfering with my work and get out.”
Se Ji ordered coldly.
Se Young couldn’t press further and turned away.
That expression—that moment from childhood when she’d held a knife to her throat.
After leaving the office, Se Young turned and glared at the door.
Then she snorted a laugh.
Se Ji’s alibi was false. She claimed she’d been with Woo Je Ha from Legal, but Woo Je Ha had been with someone else.
Moreover, Se Ji’s unusually agitated reaction today clearly proved she’d killed Tae In.
Se Young grabbed the necklace choking her neck and yanked it off. Pearls scattered in every direction.
“Fucking bitch.”
