My Sweet Enemy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 4
Shocked, Tae In couldn’t continue speaking for a while.
She had simply lost her memory from an accident, yet she had become a dead person.
Does this even make sense?
At that moment, the doorbell rang in the quiet house.
“Get treated first, then we’ll talk.”
Nok Hyeon left the dazed Tae In staring into space and walked to the front door.
A moment later, Eun Seok approached Tae In and asked.
“Ms. Seo Tae In, how are you feeling today? Has your memory come back?”
Tae In glanced at Nok Hyeon, who was sitting far away on the sofa staring at her, then fixed her gaze on Eun Seok.
Is he really a doctor? What kind of relationship does he have with Kang Nok Hyeon?
Did I originally know him?
Tae In, who had been quietly looking at Eun Seok, let out a sigh.
Right after learning the shocking truth, everything felt meaningless.
“My body is fine, and I still don’t remember anything.”
“Don’t rush it too much. There’s no serious injury besides the ankle, so it’s probably temporary.”
“Yes.”
“…Shall I rewrap the bandage at least?”
Tae In looked down at the bandage Nok Hyeon had wrapped.
His hands don’t seem very skillful. I thought he was perfect, but he has a cute side.
Tae In smiled faintly and shook her head.
“No. It’s okay.”
“It looks like it’s coming loose.”
It was when Eun Seok reached out toward Tae In’s ankle.
“Ji Eun Seok.”
Nok Hyeon, who had been sitting silently, called Eun Seok. His low, sunken voice sounded like a warning.
When Eun Seok turned around, Nok Hyeon tilted his head and beckoned with his finger.
Does that mean don’t get too close?
Is he telling me to treat her or not to?
Was he always this overprotective?
Eun Seok tilted his head in confusion and then focused on Tae In again.
Without realizing it, Eun Seok brushed off some dust on Tae In’s shoulder and then thought, Oops. The back of his head stung.
“If you’re done, let’s talk for a moment.”
Nok Hyeon took Eun Seok to the study.
As soon as the door closed, Eun Seok stepped close enough as if he might grab Nok Hyeon’s collar.
He wanted to confront him right away, but worried it might be heard outside, Eun Seok calmed his excitement and spoke in the smallest voice possible.
“Hey, are you out of your mind? What’s the reason for keeping your wife, who needs to go to the hospital right now, locked up in a villa like this?”
Nok Hyeon widened the distance from Eun Seok and brushed his hair back.
“She was nearly murdered. Someone tried to get rid of her by disguising it as an accident. If I let her out now, next time she might really die.”
As he spoke calmly, Nok Hyeon frowned.
Just imagining Tae In going through that horrific accident again strangely tightened his chest.
“You could just ask the police for help.”
“It’s not the first time she’s had an accident. Each time, the suspects were different.”
“The suspects were all different?”
“Yeah. We have to catch the mastermind.”
The police never found proper evidence each time. There must be someone giving orders separately. However, none of the perpetrators opened their mouths.
Nok Hyeon slowly recalled the memories.
The day Tae In had the accident.
That day was also the day Tae In demanded a divorce from Nok Hyeon.
Tae In left their newlywed home with only a few belongings.
She said she was sick of revenge and had no reason to do it with him anymore, leaving somewhat odd words about finding her own life and left Nok Hyeon.
The Tae In that Nok Hyeon knew wasn’t someone who gave up goals easily. There must be a reason.
For example, maybe she was threatened by someone.
After Tae In woke up, Nok Hyeon thoroughly dug into everything around her.
Two months before Tae In’s accident, her grandfather passed away.
The contents of the will weren’t made public, but it was common knowledge among those in the know that the grandfather was working behind the scenes with the legal teams to pass Tae Kang to Tae In.
Then suddenly Tae In had an accident.
The one who benefited the most from it was her half-sister, Se Ji.
“…Okay. Let’s say that’s the case, but do you know this?”
“What.”
“I’m a urologist. If it’s your problem, I can look at it sincerely. But Ms. Seo Tae In’s issue…”
“You won’t ever have to look at me. There’s no problem.”
“I’m sure. Anyway, this isn’t like you. I hope you find a wise solution, please.”
Even after Eun Seok went home, Nok Hyeon stayed in the study for a long time.
A wise solution.
They married for mutual benefit, and he only intended to use Tae In.
He had no plans to give up the plan just because Tae In lost her memory.
Nok Hyeon, who had been staring at the firmly closed door while sitting in the chair, suddenly stood up due to an unexpected anxiety.
The Tae In who used to follow him around with quick steps was quiet.
Wondering if she was causing some trouble, Nok Hyeon slowly started walking.
Unexpectedly, Tae In was sitting obediently at the table. She flinched in surprise when she saw Nok Hyeon while folding paper with documents Lee Kyung had delivered.
When Nok Hyeon just looked at her without saying anything, Tae In spoke to explain.
“I guess I liked making things with my hands.”
“Yeah, you did.”
Tae In tapped the frog and flower she folded and then spoke.
“What kind of person was I?”
Her voice was heavily subdued. Well, it was shocking.
Nok Hyeon thought for a moment and sat in front of Tae In. Tae In’s pupils trembled finely.
“You were smart. And very ambitious.”
“Anything else…?”
“You were good at everything, not just crafts. You hated losing because of your competitive spirit, and you hated having things taken from you.”
“…”
Perhaps it wasn’t the answer she wanted, Tae In pursed her lips and nodded mechanically.
“You hated losing but didn’t step on others to win, and you hated things being taken but didn’t steal from others.”
Tae In, who had been making the frog jump by tapping its butt, looked up and met Nok Hyeon’s eyes.
“I wondered if… I was so bad and terrible that someone hated me enough to kill me…”
Nok Hyeon recalled the Tae In who was the complete opposite of now.
She never confided in anyone or showed weakness.
Though small in stature, she was stronger than anyone and cold when it came to work.
She never craved affection from him or expected anything.
Nok Hyeon quite liked that Tae In back then. Because she wasn’t annoying.
Yet now, the complete opposite, he should hate it, but strangely he didn’t feel displeased or dislike it.
He didn’t mind cooking for Tae In which he avoided because it was troublesome, or answering the endless questions that sprang up like an inexhaustible fountain since she claimed memory loss.
Why on earth.
Just because Tae In was necessary for the plan?
Or perhaps…
Having thought that far, Nok Hyeon shook his head and grabbed the things Tae In had carefully folded.
Then without hesitation, he crumpled them and dropped them.
Tae In’s pupils shook left and right.
“What are you doing right now…”
“If I take everything you have or destroy it, does that make me a bad person?”
“…Yes?”
“Then will you kill me?”
“…That’s.”
“You might want to kill me, but not everyone acts on it. No matter what you did wrong, that can’t be a reason to kill someone.”
Tae In, who had been frowning at the horribly crumpled frog, seemed to realize something and nodded.
It seemed like he was saying no matter what wrong Tae In did, it wasn’t a reason to be murdered.
Is he… comforting me?
Since it was Nok Hyeon who always said colder things with a cold face, Tae In felt puzzled.
Tae In stealthily watched Nok Hyeon’s expression.
There was something she wanted to ask.
Did you love that Seo Tae In who was smart, ambitious, and hated losing?
I think I did.
Every time I see you my heart races, sometimes it hurts, and I feel upset at cold words — I wanted to say it must have been love.
However, the words that actually came out were something completely different and random.
“But did a lot of people come to my funeral?”
At the somewhat random question, Nok Hyeon’s eyes crinkled.
“Ms. Jung Yi Kyung said that. That I didn’t have a single friend. That can’t be true, right?”
When Tae In asked with an innocent face, Nok Hyeon was flustered.
Nevertheless, words came out bluntly.
“It’s entirely possible. The Seo Tae In I know would have more than enough.”
The sliver of hope Tae In held shattered.
What kind of life did I live? Besides a successful husband, I don’t even have proper family or friends?
“Stop saying useless talk and try to regain your memory.”
“No. To regain memory, I need to know first. When I read the information about people in the documents, it immediately registered as if it was in my original memory.”
Tae In made the most serious face she could.
“Mr. Kang Nok Hyeon, you need to help me a bit.”
Nok Hyeon didn’t answer. Because he had a bad feeling.
“Tell me in detail about me, and about our relationship.”
“What?”
“Ah, and one more thing. You definitely said it wasn’t a marriage of convenience, right?”
“…”
“So, that being the case, shall we share the bedroom?”
Nok Hyeon frowned. Did he hear that right?
Before Nok Hyeon could open his mouth, Tae In spoke first as if preempting.
“If we’re a married couple, shouldn’t we naturally share the same bedroom?”
Their eyes met.
It was a truly innocent statement with no intention of seduction.
Her light-colored eyes sparkled as if containing light, and giving up on being serious, a smile hung on Tae In’s lips.
“You’re dreaming big.”
At Nok Hyeon’s words, Tae In’s face crumpled.
“You’re supposed to dream big.”
“Who said that?”
“How would I remember? Anyway… I want to know about Mr. Kang Nok Hyeon. And about myself. So please cooperate.”
Thanks to her heavily shrugged shoulders, her small frame looked even smaller, but her tone was quite firm.
Nok Hyeon slowly rested his chin and raised one corner of his mouth.
“Think you’ll understand if you sleep with me?”
Tae In’s ears turned bright red.
“That’s not what I meant right now…”
Not only her ears but her entire face flushed red, and Tae In couldn’t finish her words and closed her mouth.
Nok Hyeon raised his hand and lightly tapped Tae In’s hand that was nervously biting her lip. Then he brought it to her bleeding lip. The trembling of her lips transferred to his fingertip.
“If you want to sleep with me, either build up your courage, recover your stamina, regain your memory — do just one.”
“…”
Looking at Tae In who still couldn’t meet his eyes, Nok Hyeon let out a small laugh. Her completely red, embarrassed face was cute.
Nok Hyeon removed his hand and stood up from the chair.
“The next time you bring that up, be prepared. I never do anything halfway.”
Lee Kyung commuted to the villa where Tae In was today as well.
Several days had passed since Tae In woke up. Her body had recovered, but she still hadn’t regained her memory.
There was no problem with daily life, but she had no memories related to relationships.
The Tae In before losing memory and after were truly different. Speech, expressions, personality, taste in food. Everything changed.
The Tae In who lost her memory was like a playful small puppy.
Not only had she perfectly adapted to the house, she was now cleverly using her situation of having lost memory.
At Tae In’s request, Lee Kyung was plating the strawberry cake she bought and gritted her teeth.
Remembering Tae In playfully saying that eating cake might bring back memories made her blood boil again.
Two days ago, Lee Kyung had submitted her resignation to Nok Hyeon, saying she didn’t know why she had to do this, but tore it up at Nok Hyeon’s outrageous salary increase offer.
“I’m doing it for the money, for the money. I’ll endure until I move to a 40-pyeong with Han River view, Jung Yi Kyung.”
After glancing once at Tae In brightly waiting for the strawberry cake, Lee Kyung let out a small sigh.
Tae In probably didn’t know, but Lee Kyung had known Tae In since high school.
The high school Tae In was actually similar to now. Bright, lots of smiles, considerate of others. So unpretentious that you wouldn’t know she was a second-generation chaebol, excellent in both friendships and academics.
Perhaps this current personality was her original one.
What kind of hell did she go through to wear a cold and harsh mask, treat people that way, and not let anyone close?
“Yay, strawberries.”
Despite plating it nicely, Tae In roughly split the cake with a fork and put it in her mouth.
“I knew you’d do this.”
Tae In mumbled while chewing the cake.
“Why, did I do something wrong again?”
“I knew I’d like cake.”
Tae In pretended to wipe tears as if moved and started eating the cake.
“Ms. Jung Yi Kyung, have some too.”
“I’m fine. I don’t like sweet things.”
Lee Kyung rested her chin and watched Tae In eat. It was fascinating since she rarely saw her eat properly.
Stupid Seo Tae In. Everything you had was taken by your greedy sisters who hated you terribly. This isn’t the time to cry over strawberry cake.
“Is there nothing that comes to mind even a little?”
“When I get hungry, I slightly remember the foods I liked.”
Let’s not talk.
“But I need to regain my memory quickly.”
Tae In, who had stuffed her mouth full of strawberries and cream, muttered to herself.
“I thought you had no worries.”
“…I now have a reason to regain my memory.”
“So what is that reason.”
“…I can’t tell you that.”
Whatever she was imagining, Tae In shook her head vigorously with a red face.
“What do you want to do once you regain your memory?”
“Share the same bedro… no, that’s not it. First, I’ll get revenge.”
“Revenge?”
“I’ll find the culprit and get revenge. I’ll make them feel exactly how frustrated and scared I am right now. No, exactly twice as much.”
After saying that, Tae In smiled brightly.
Chills ran down Lee Kyung’s spine. Even without memory, Seo Tae In is still Seo Tae In.
“That would be fair, wouldn’t it, unnie?”
“Unnie…?”
“Ah, you’re not unnie?”
Lee Kyung and Tae In were the same age. Lee Kyung had suffered a lot from stress because of her mature appearance since childhood.
The extremely youthful-looking Tae In had touched Lee Kyung’s complex.
“No. We’re the same age.”
“Ah, sorry. I thought you were older.”
Lee Kyung, who had been smiling mechanically, narrowed her eyes.
“Ms. Seo Tae In, you want to regain your memory quickly, right?”
“Yes!”
“In dramas, they say giving a strong shock makes you remember quickly?”
“…Huh?”
Tae In stood up from the chair and slowly backed away.
“Come here. Let’s do it in one go.”
Lee Kyung, Nok Hyeon’s bodyguard and secretary, quickly ran to Tae In as if showing off her reflexes and grabbed her shoulders.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea, Ms. Jung Yi Kyung.”
“Why, you said you’re frustrated.”
“Because primitive methods like that could backfire… Oh right, I discovered something amazing.”
Tae In hurriedly took out a flyer from her pocket and handed it to Lee Kyung.
“Chicken…?”
“I feel like eating chicken will bring back some memories.”
“Then we can just order delivery.”
“This place is too remote, they only do pickup.”
Lee Kyung, who had been examining the flyer, realized. She wondered how she knew this was Gapyeong, but she guessed from the flyer.
Lee Kyung looked alternately at the flyer and Tae In. Tae In with hands clasped and a pitiful expression looked like an abandoned puppy.
This is foul play.
Lee Kyung was weak to cute things.
“I’ll be back soon, so stay put.”
As soon as Lee Kyung went out, Tae In straightened her shrugged shoulders and ran to the window to confirm Lee Kyung getting in the car.
Then she took the tablet that Lee Kyung had left on the kitchen table.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
