The sandwich that seemed quite small when he held it looked just the right size in Chae Yoon’s hands.
Furthermore, her mouth, as she took a bite of the sandwich, appeared smaller than he had expected. Jae Oh found it fascinating as he watched Chae Yoon take a bite of the sandwich with a soft “ahh” sound.
This one has small hands and a small mouth, everything seems so small about them.
With that size, can they even properly eat anything?
As doubts crossed Jae Oh’s mind, the adorable tongue poked out of those lips, and a tiny grin appeared.
Suddenly, what had been revealed was the sauce stuck on the lips, which was quickly swiped away. Jae Oh, who had been looking at it, unintentionally swallowed his saliva.
Ah…
Thinking about her face that seemed to have become incomplete because of that, and her empty stomach, the desire that had been momentarily forgotten surged back.
At that moment, Chae Yoon’s lips, which had been catching Jae Oh’s attention, twitched.
“Do I have something on my lips?”
“Huh? What? No?”
Seeing Jae Oh’s reaction that seemed to suggest he shouldn’t have looked, he quickly turned his gaze away and took a sip through the straw.
However, Chae Yoon’s gaze stayed fixed on him.
‘Why is he acting like this?’
Perplexed, Chae Yoon continued to observe Jae Oh’s reaction.
Jae Oh, who had now captured Chae Yoon’s attention, turned his gaze elsewhere and continued to suck on the straw.
Thanks to that, the coffee, which was the only thing that could somewhat calm his burning insides, quickly hit the bottom. However, Chae Yoon’s gaze was still fixed on him.
At this moment, Jae Oh, who was feeling the weight of Chae Yoon’s attention, spoke with determination.
“Stop staring at me and eat properly.”
His eyes still couldn’t meet Chae Yoon’s, and her bewilderment didn’t seem to diminish anytime soon.
Suddenly, Chae Yoon, who had been staring at Jae Oh strangely, sighed heavily and looked away when she thought he might not look at her.
Then, she took another bite of the sandwich she was holding, but the sandwich that had tasted delicious just a moment ago now seemed strangely tasteless.
‘Is it because it’s not much different from eating alone?’
So she mechanically chewed the sandwich, and Jae Oh’s voice reached her.
“How does it taste?”
Chae Yoon replied without looking at Jae Oh, “It’s delicious.”
The responding voice was dry.
The moment Jae Oh heard the voice devoid of emotion, he felt a tightening in his chest.
He quickly moved his eyes to look at Chae Yoon.
She had been smiling just a moment ago. But why was she suddenly like this?
‘What’s wrong? What’s the problem?’
Jae Oh rolled his brain as quickly as possible to figure out the cause of Chae Yoon’s emotional change, but he came up empty.
Then, Chae Yoon put down the sandwich she was holding.
Jae Oh’s eyes grew more anxious.
“Why… why are you putting it down?”
“Maybe because I’m too full. I ate well. I’ll go out.”
Chae Yoon finished speaking and got up from her seat.
“No, you should finish eating at least…”
Jae Oh tried to stop Chae Yoon as she stood up, but she gave him a gentle smile as if to reassure him, then turned her back and walked away.
Jae Oh couldn’t understand why Chae Yoon was suddenly acting this way, and he couldn’t bring himself to stop her.
There was a sound as the door closed with a thud.
As Chae Yoon disappeared from his sight, Jae Oh fell into deep contemplation.
“What is it? What did I do wrong?”
While calmly replaying the recent situation in his mind, the internal phone rang, but Jae Oh’s contemplation remained undisturbed.
How long had it been like that?
“Director.”
Before he knew it, Woo Jong’s voice approached Jae Oh, and when he looked at him as if to ask what was going on, Woo Jong spoke.
“The Vice Chairman is requesting your presence.”
A crease formed on Jae Oh’s forehead.
What important matter is it this time?
Jae Oh turned his attention with an annoyed expression.
“They want you to come up right now,” Woo Jong conveyed, but his words didn’t reach Jae Oh’s ears.
[Star icon]The door to the Vice Chairman’s office opened.
“Director Oh has arrived.”
More than an hour after the call, Jae Oh finally revealed himself, and a sigh escaped from Jung Woong’s lips as he watched him.
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.
