“Did you really say you need more time?”
The faintly trembling voice seemed somehow soaked with wounds.
Because of that, Su-jin couldn’t bring herself to answer.
“Answer me. Did you really say that?”
Facing Su-jin, who couldn’t even lift her head, Su-yeon prodded with a rather sharp tone.
It felt so heartbreaking because she seemed genuinely hurt.
I don’t know how long I’ve waited. I’ve been waiting for Su-jin’s contact at every turn.
The waiting, which seemed to dull over time, sometimes made me look at my phone every other day, every three days, expecting a missed call from Su-jin, even though there was no reason.
But there hasn’t been a single contact from her to me. She acted so harshly, as if she could be this cruel.
Su-yeon bit her lower lip.
There were so many things she wanted to say, but not a single word came out.
It was a chronic condition. Living a lifetime only answering what others wanted made it so difficult to reveal my feelings, my thoughts.
Still, I thought I had changed a lot while living with In-ho. But it seems I’m still in the same place.
“Unni, I…”
With difficulty, Su-jin opened her mouth.
There was a mix of emotions, not knowing what to do. So, once again, Su-yeon felt hurt.
Su-jin was a child who had grown up under the protection of Chairman Choi and his wife all her life.
For Su-jin, Chairman Choi’s couple would have been her world and everything.
For her parents to be arrested by the police overnight, how much of a thunderbolt-like event it must have been.
It must have been tough. The imprisonment of Chairman Choi’s couple was undoubtedly very natural and deserved, but it was not something that could be justly applied to Su-jin.
So she should have reached out more to me. After all, the only family you have left is me.
Su-yeon tightly clenched her hands, which were weakly hanging down.
“What time did you need? Why did you need more time?”
“…”
“You said everything was okay. Wasn’t the emotion we shared that day enough? But why, why…”
At the moment when the emotions began to spill out, a momentary brake was applied. The day long past came to mind.
On that day when Su-jin came to see her to see herself recovering from emergency surgery, they had a long conversation.
After a long conversation with Su-jin, when she fell asleep, unable to overcome the power of the medicine.
At that time, Su-yeon had a dream for the first time in a very long time.
A vast field with lush green grass spread out, and a majestic tree stood tall.
That was all. Besides that, nothing else was visible.
But even so, at the moment Su-yeon dreamed that dream, her heart trembled with happiness.
A clear sky without a single cloud, a grassy field where not a speck of dust could be found, and a warm breeze blowing at just the right moment.
Everything was so perfect that somehow it seemed like my life would be happy from now on.
But when I woke up from that dream, Su-jin was gone and nowhere to be found.
“Unni…”
“Dong-hoon oppa said he encountered her. He said she would contact me. They’ve been in touch all this time. Then she should have told me too. I, I kept waiting, and…!”
A stopped feeling of bitterness poured out like a tide.
Su-yeon couldn’t control the overwhelming emotions and raised her hands to cover her face.
Tears seemed to burst at any moment.
Though I didn’t want to show such a sight in front of my long-lost sister, I bit my teeth and held back, but eventually, the tears that had been held back began to fall one by one.
Emotions didn’t seem to be in control at all.
Why did she have to disappear like that without a word? Su-jin’s choice was resented and hated, but she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
A complex mixture of sorrow and relief flooded in.
In the whirlwind of these emotions, Su-yeon, seemingly unable to sit still, stretched her legs towards Su-jin.
Step by step. The slow steps became urgent in an instant, and soon she stood in front of Su-jin and hugged her tightly.
“Well, you did well. You did well, Su-jin.”
Su-yeon instinctively uttered words that surged up.
Countless emotions surged overwhelmingly, but the conclusion was clear.
I missed Su-jin.
She was a sister I had once disliked a lot, but in the end, she became a real sister to me.
The only person who sincerely apologized for the tough and painful times of the past.
“In-ho, thank you for keeping in touch. Thank you for coming like this, even now.”
Su-jin, who willingly did what must have been so difficult, Su-jin, who finally came back to me.
Su-yeon was truly grateful.
“Did you really do all this?”
Looking at Su-jin with swollen, reddened eyes, Su-yeon asked. Su-jin’s eyes were also similarly swollen.
Su-jin nodded brightly as if asking when she hadn’t cried enough.
“Yeah, it’s true. I really did everything.”
There was no hesitation in her answer. So Su-yeon had to examine the set table placed in front of her once again.
On the rather large wooden table, there were so many plates that you couldn’t find an empty space.
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.
