As soon as the words about going with Isu ended, Jiho said something even more surprising.
“Mom, I visited Paris this time and plan to go to Seoul.”
Jiho took a sip of coffee and set the cup down as he spoke.
“Oh, really? When are you going?”
“I’ll depart on the 8th.”
“What? That’s in a few days. I thought you would stay for a week.”
“I’ll stay a week next time.”
Jiho chuckled at Yeonsoo’s disappointed tone.
Although he didn’t plan to come, seeing Yeonsoo made him think he made the right choice by coming for even a few days.
“Well, it’s fortunate that I can spend my birthday here this year.”
“Yes.”
Yumi and Sumin, surprised by their conversation, raised their heads.
Yumi felt her throat tighten at the thought of Isu that came to mind.
‘Could it be that they’re going together? Wasn’t the purpose of their trip from the beginning?’
She rolled her eyes and glanced to the side, but aside from the departure date, Yeonsoo didn’t have any more questions as if she wasn’t curious about anything else.
Since Jiho was used to traveling alone, Yeonsoo accepted it.
Yumi was curious, and her mouth itched with the desire to ask, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak.
“Oh, by the way, Mom, it’s my birthday. I’ll eat breakfast at home that day and then go out. I just wanted to let you know in case you’re planning something.”
“Why? To meet Isu?”
Yeonsoo said it suddenly and then, realizing it, glanced briefly at Yumi.
As expected, Yumi’s expression wasn’t pleasant.
“Yes, Mom, is that okay?”
Jiho, who was belatedly concerned about what Yeonsoo said yesterday, asked a question that was somewhat pointless.
“Oh, well, whether I’m okay with it or not, what does it matter? If you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
Yeonsoo felt a bit hurt, but she didn’t fail to understand Jiho’s desire to spend his birthday with his girlfriend.
“Yes, we planned to be together all day. If we have dinner, it might be very late.”
“Okay, understood.”
Yumi bit her lip, trying not to show her emotions, and lowered her head.
But a few days later, with the news of going to Paris and hearing that she would only eat breakfast on her birthday, Yumi couldn’t hide her feelings of disappointment.
‘I didn’t want to see this kind of situation.’
Somehow, she felt like she was watching the real-time development of their relationship.
After hoping for a week of being together in the same house, hearing such words upon returning made her lose energy, and she felt disappointed.
Yeonsoo held back what she wanted to ask, trying to understand Yumi’s feelings.
She hoped Yumi would quickly sort out her feelings and return to their comfortable relationship.
“What are you doing today? After eating breakfast, I was thinking of taking Yumi and Sumin out to see London. Do you want to come too?”
“No, you three go ahead.”
Yeonsoo, who was about to ask if they were meeting Isu today as well, held back because she caught Yumi’s gaze.
It was an uncomfortable atmosphere in many ways.
The next morning.
Perhaps due to the time difference, my eyes naturally opened at 5 in the morning.
Mom and grandmother were having a simple meal, and Isu headed to the park.
Jiho suggested meeting from the morning because he missed her all day yesterday.
He entered a park with lush green leaves and wide grass.
When leaving home, he had more thoughts about it being bothersome, but now that he was here, he thought it was a good decision.
Isu walked closer to the lake, where gracefully swimming swans and flocks of ducks were too cute to resist.
While watching the approaching swans, Jiho suddenly appeared from behind, hugging Isu tightly.
“You came early. Did you wait long?”
Jiho asked while holding Isu firmly in his arms.
A warm heat was felt where their backs touched.
Isu turned her head slightly.
Jiho’s face and Isu’s face, resting on his shoulder, seemed to touch each other.
“No, I didn’t notice the time while watching the swans and ducks. They’re too cute; I can’t take my eyes off them.”
Jiho chuckled and lightly kissed Isu’s cheek.
“Now look at me.”
As the arms holding her loosened, Isu’s body turned around Jiho’s back.
Jiho bent his waist deeply, almost as much as the more than 20cm height difference.
Jiho’s face descended in front of Isu’s face.
Jiho’s bright smiling face filled her field of vision.
“I missed you so much.”
“Me too.”
“It’s been 30 hours since we last saw each other.”
Although it was only one day, speaking in terms of time made it feel like it had been a long time.
Looking at Jiho’s smile, Isu thought, ‘His smile is so delightful that I can’t help but smile.’
With that smile, Jiho kissed Isu on the lips.
It was a light and short kiss, but even in that moment, it was sweet and tender.
In a place like this in the past, Isu might have pushed Jiho away, looking at him with narrowed eyes. But this time, she wrapped her arms around Jiho’s waist and hugged him.
“Wow, what are you saying?”
Jiho, who was prepared to be pushed away, widened his eyes and laughed.
Isu took a deep breath silently and smiled.
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.
