Friday. It was the day of the afterparty for the MT.
As soon as Lee Soo sat in the classroom, her phone rang. It was from Ae Ra.
They had only parted a few minutes ago after lunch.
“Hello?”
[Lee Soo, I totally forgot to tell you earlier that we should meet and go to the afterparty together. Your class ends at 5, right?]“Yes.”
[Then let’s meet in front of the student center after your class and go together.]“Okay, got it. See you later.”
Throughout their lunch together, Ae Ra had been talking passionately about the blind date she’d had the day before.
‘She really has energy. She went out for that date and drank so much, and yet she’s not going to miss the afterparty today either.’
“You’re early.”
At that point, Ji Ho came and sat down next to her.
It was the first class they were attending together since the MT.
There had been many times in the past when she had intentionally avoided seeing his face, but today, Ji Ho and Ha Jun came to the front of the class together.
With a knowing smile, Ha Jun looked at Lee Soo, who blushed without realizing it.
“Is it okay if I sit here?”
Ji Ho asked in a cheeky way, as if asking for permission after he’d already sat down.
“It’s okay, as long as you don’t whisper too close like this.”
Lee Soo said with a small smile to Ji Ho, who had completely turned towards her and was leaning in close.
Ji Ho, who had said he would do his best for their secret relationship, was cooperative enough.
As promised, they kept a reasonable distance in school.
Other than bumping into each other by chance, there were no times when she deliberately met Ji Ho in school.
Thanks to that, meeting Ji Ho was not as burdensome as Lee Soo had worried, and it was possible to live the same daily life as before.
Their shared class, Understanding Cinema, was the only time when Lee Soo and Ji Ho could naturally meet within the school.
“You’re going to the afterparty today, right? I think I’ll be a bit late because of my group project.”
“Really? How late will you be?”
“I guess I’ll know once I meet them, but I’ll try to finish as quickly as possible.”
“Ha Jun, are you going to be late too?”
“No. I’ll go right after it ends.”
“I’m meeting Ae Ra at 5 and we’re going together, do you want to join?”
“Sure.”
“Don’t drink too much. I’ll come as soon as I can.”
“Okay, okay.”
As if it was a habit, Ji Ho lowered his head close to Lee Soo and spoke.
Even though he said he would be careful, he found himself constantly turning towards Lee Soo.
He would whisper close to her ear when it wasn’t necessary, and he couldn’t stop smiling when he looked at Lee Soo.
As if trying to make the most of the only time they had permission, he sat very close to Lee Soo.
Unable to stand it any longer, Lee Soo spoke up.
“If you’re going to be like this, I’ll have to switch seats with Ha Jun next time. From the back, anyone would think something strange was going on.”
As soon as Ji Ho entered the classroom, he attracted everyone’s attention, and she didn’t want to attract any more attention with his suspicious behavior.
“What did I do? I’ve been behaving.”
Ji Ho shrugged his shoulders, looking wronged.
“If you’re worried about being seen from the back, how about sitting in the back next time? Then we won’t have to worry about people behind us. It seems like a great idea.”
“No, I don’t like sitting in the back.”
She had no intention of giving up her seat for Ji Ho’s subtle gestures of affection.
Despite acting nonchalant, whenever Ji Ho sat next to her and treated her affectionately, Lee Soo’s heart would still flutter and tickle.
She thought she might have to give up on the class altogether if she sat in the back like Ji Ho suggested.
Today’s lecture was followed by a film viewing after a brief theoretical lecture.
Just like in the first class, only the light from the screen lit the classroom, as all the lights were turned off.
As the movie began, Ji Ho’s large hand tightly held Lee Soo’s hand, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
Surprised, Lee Soo looked at Ji Ho with shocked eyes.
What are you doing? She mouthed silently.
When she tried to pull her hand away, he held on tighter.
With a gentle smile, Ji Ho mouthed back, Watch the movie, and pointed to the screen with his chin.
From that point on, not a single detail from the movie entered Lee Soo’s head.
All her senses were focused on the hand that Ji Ho was holding.
His hand, which had momentarily loosened, slid between Lee Soo’s fingers.
With his hand clasped and thumb spread wide, Ji Ho gently stroked Lee Soo’s hand.
Each time, Lee Soo felt as though a small bug was crawling somewhere inside her body.
Her heart pounded fast.
Her face heated up from the secret, soft touches that nobody knew about.
“Haah…. When will I ever get used to this.”
Ji Ho had held onto Lee Soo’s hand for two hours straight without letting go.
((()))((()))
Apart from Ji Ho and Dong Woo, who said they would be late, everyone attended the afterparty.
They sat together at several tables lined up next to each other.
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.
