Hyuna inquired. At that moment, the detective, who seemed about to say something, was interrupted as the door to the interrogation room suddenly opened.
Looking at the face that appeared through the door, Hyuna was momentarily surprised and jumped out.
“Oppa! What brings you here, oppa? Did you come to see Hyuna?”
Jung-hyuk’s indifferent gaze turned toward her, his arms tightly wrapped around her.
“Just came.”
Nonchalantly gesturing, he lightly brushed off Hyuna’s hand. Despite his indifferent attitude, Hyuna didn’t back down.
“Detective. We need to talk privately for a moment.”
“Yes, I’ll stop the recording. I’ll be outside for a while, so feel free to have your conversation.”
As the detective left, seemingly avoiding some prior discussion, Jung-hyuk leaned against the vacant seat across from Hyuna.
“Did you really just come? You didn’t come because you wanted something?”
As if it’s obvious, Hyuna looks at him with curiosity. Jung-hyuk played along, “Well, maybe.”
Slowly clenching her fist, Hyuna tilted her chin slightly, adopting a defiant posture. A triumphant smile played on her lips.
“Sorry, but it’s difficult to accommodate what you want, oppa.”
“What do I want?”
“Well, it’s obvious. You came to have that woman released.”
Jung-hyuk curled the corner of his mouth subtly.
“Right. I hope Yuda-jeong gets released. But saying it as if you’re the one who put that woman in jail?”
“Uh…?”
Hyuna showed a perplexed expression. Jung-hyuk leaned back comfortably on the backrest.
“No, it feels like you’re confessing that you’re the one who falsely accused that woman.”
“W-what are you talking about? Don’t make things up!”
“By the way, what has your boyfriend been up to lately?”
“B-boyfriend?”
Hyuna’s face turned pale in genuine confusion.
“Oh! Wasn’t he just a friend and not a boyfriend?”
“Oppa, why are you like this? I really don’t understand what you’re saying.”
It wasn’t easy to hide the moments of confusion and excitement, but Hyuna gathered herself to not be caught off guard.
A mischievous smile played on Jung-hyuk’s lips. Leaning forward, he whispered casually, “Why are you so serious? There are more surprising things to come.”
“S-surprising things…?”
Jung-hyuk leaned in a bit more and whispered softly in her ear.
“So, Oh Hyun-ah, don’t confess anything with your mouth. I’ll reveal everything you’ve done, starting now.”
Hyuna’s breath stopped, and her pupils trembled significantly. What could possibly come out? It couldn’t be true.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, as Jung-hyuk was straightening up, Hyuna’s handbag slipped under the table, brushed by his elbow.
“Oh.”
Jung-hyuk bent down, and then began picking up various cosmetics like lipstick and compact that had spilled out of the open handbag. In the process, he reached out and picked up a small medicine bottle.
He narrowed his eyes at the inscription on the medicine bottle.
“……Sleeping pills?”
In an instant, with a gulp, Hyuna grabbed the medicine bottle from his hand. It was a sleep aid she always carried in her bag.
“Is this yours?”
Looking at her, still stunned, Hyuna hesitated and then started to weave a pre-emptive excuse.
“W-well, it’s just that things have been really hard lately… You know. It’s because of you, oppa, that I’m struggling.”
“Oh, I see.”
Jung-hyuk nodded. Then, he leaned back deeply into the chair.
“By the way, I have something to show you.”
With a rustling sound, Jung-hyuk took out a small plastic bag from his pocket. Inside it were bright red artificial nails.
Hyuna, taken aback, nervously rubbed her tense fingertips. Although her nails had been freshly done, she knew better than anyone that the bright red artificial ones were hers.
“W-what’s that?”
Feigning innocence, Jung-hyuk chuckled while looking at her face.
“What is it? It’s the fake nail that fell off when you pinched my son and ran away.”
Hyuna let out a forced laugh. Her anxious pupils unconsciously glanced at the mirrored wall. It felt like someone was watching her.
Hyuna swallowed dryly, trying to stay calm in such situations.
“It seems like you’re misunderstanding, oppa. That’s not mine. Look, my nails are perfectly fine…”
Hyuna raised both of her hands. Seeing her nails, completely different from a few days ago, Jung-hyuk widened his eyes.
“That’s true.”
“And do you have evidence that it’s mine?”
“Yeah. But when I picked this up, I remembered something. I have a few strands of your hair from back then when I plucked it. Remember?”
With a kick at the end of his words, Jung-hyuk let out a laugh and took out another plastic bag from his pocket. Inside were a few strands of red, thread-like hair tangled together. Hyuna remembered when he forcibly pulled her hair the other day.
“S-so what! Don’t pin this on an innocent person!”
“Yeah, you shouldn’t falsely accuse innocent people. That’s why I’m thinking of requesting a few tests. What can you do when you’re so unfairly treated? You need to clarify your innocence.”
“What…?”
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.
