“Hey, you bastard!”
Using a loud squawk as a signal, Dajung and Sol began throwing plastic bottles at the man in the black suit.
The plastic bottles flew like arrows and tumbled around.
“Who are you! Who sent you!”
Sol, who had launched herself at him, grabbed the collar of the man in the black suit. Dajung also joined in, beating the man’s head wildly with a plastic bottle.
The man in the black suit, on the defensive, was helplessly groaning under the fierce attack of the two women.
“What’s your purpose?! Did Seo Namsik send you? Did he tell you to kidnap our Siwoo?!”
Sol swung the plastic bottle mercilessly with a grimace. In the meantime, Siwoo, who was tucked under Dujung’s arm, was laughing out loud, enjoying the new play.
Unable to withstand the momentum, the sullen man in the black suit defended himself.
“Ouch! No, we, we were just instructed to protect, ugh!”
In front of Vice President Cha’s bedroom, the expression of Manager Min, who was pacing back and forth, was anxious.
It had been a few days since he received Chairman Park’s order to buy UCU, no matter what it took, and present it to his grandson.
From the outset, it was an absurd directive. The intention had been to buy time until Director Cha’s condition improved.
However, no matter how long they waited, there was no sign of improvement in Director Cha’s condition.
Gradually, concerns began to arise. What if Director Cha died?
While entertaining such a dire thought, Chief Min quickly shook her head. That absolutely could not happen.
If such an incident occurred, all the trust that she had managed to earn through careful manoeuvring would be in vain.
Not only that, it was clear that disciplinary action would be taken once her silence regarding UCU was discovered.
How would she handle this…
At the moment when her worries deepened, a vibration sound was heard from the pocket.
After verifying the caller, Chief Min pressed the call button with a sinking heart.
“What’s the matter?”
Upon hearing the information silently, Chief Min’s eyes widened.
“Ah… really? Ah, this… what should I do. No choice, I understand.”
A deep sigh flowed from the lips of Chief Min, who ended the call. She couldn’t ignore the situation here either.
30 minutes later.
Chief Min, who had been called to Sol’s Cafe, bowed respectfully.
“I apologize for causing you concern.”
Against her sincere apology, Da Jung shot an unpleasant glare.
“Did you order those people to watch me? Or did you follow Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk’s instructions and order those people to watch our Shi Woo?”
Chief Min’s eyes swept the cafe broadly.
About half a dozen men in indistinguishably similar attire stood in line like culprits. They were security company employees hired under the direction of Director Cha.
What a strange world it is. Initially, the instruction was to protect discreetly so as not to cause any discomfort since she could feel anxious.
However, if the two women were so easily caught, wouldn’t it be right to strip off the badge of the security company?
Moreover, it was a strange thing to have everyone follow in a row like sausages just because one was caught.
Chief Min, whose face turned pale, sighed deeply.
“Watching you? It’s a total misunderstanding. It’s just for the safety of Ms. Yoo Da Jung and Mr. Yoo Shi Woo under the special direction of the director…”
“For safety?”
At Da Jung’s counterquestion, Chief Min swallowed her dry saliva.
Forget it. It’s a complete mess.
“In fact! Director was terribly worried after hearing that Mr. Yoo Shi Woo was kidnapped.”
“That…”
Da Jung, surprised, only moved her lips slightly.
“Since we didn’t know if Mr. Seo Nam Sik would approach again, we were instructed to place manpower at your home, the kindergarten, and Ms. Yoo Da Jung’s company 24 hours a day to ensure safe protection.”
“……”
Da Jung, who became upset, looked down.
There was nothing to say when she recalled the event. She felt even worse because she had boasted that she could raise Shi Woo alone.
I was sorry and felt so shameless that I couldn’t dare to tell him, and I hoped he would pass it over if he didn’t know. But he knew.
Moreover, he had worried enough to secretly hire bodyguards. A complicated feeling filled me about how to see him from now on.
But it was too much to do this far.
“….I understand your feelings well. But this is too much. We don’t need such protection, so please withdraw those people immediately.”
“I’ll report to the executive director first. And Yoo Da Jung…”
Manager Min hurriedly cut off his sentence.
“The executive director’s health is not very good.”
Da Jung widened her surprised eyes.
“Where…is it really bad?”
“He hardly eats and can’t sleep.”
Da Jung bit her lip. Despite her efforts to ignore it, she couldn’t help but worry.
Regardless of what happened to her, he was Siwoo’s father after all.
No! No, she had to be cold and cut it off.
“What does it have to do with me? If he’s sick, he should go to the hospital for treatment.”
“I think the cure is you, Yoo Da Jung, and Siwoo.”
“…..”
As Da Jung didn’t reply immediately, Manager Min closed his eyes tightly. Then he shouted in a begging manner.
“Yoo Da Jung! Please save our executive director. If something happens to the executive director, I……”
I’ll be as lost as a dog chasing a chicken.
Manager Min’s cry continued.
“If we leave it as it is! He won’t even be able to call his father a father his whole life, sniff…!”
“Our Siwoo. You have to sleep at your aunt’s house today, can you sleep without mom?”
“Yes!”
Siwoo responded vigorously.
So earnest was Manager Min’s plea that Da Jung couldn’t ignore it and decided to visit Jung Hyuk with him.
She couldn’t judge how much of Manager Min’s words were true and how much were exaggerated.
But if it’s about saving a person, she couldn’t just dismiss it outright.
If she didn’t do as he asked and something went wrong with him, it would be too hard to handle.
Since it was past 9 o’clock, she couldn’t take Siwoo with her. She had no choice but to ask Sol and got into the waiting vehicle.
The destination wasn’t far. The hurried car swiftly transported Da Jung to his residence.
The space she entered under Manager Min’s guidance felt incredibly vast and surreal.
Only a large sofa table occupying the center of the living room was visible, there were no small household items or utilities to be seen, even after thoroughly searching.
This man. He was living in such a place.
The hollow space, silent enough to be desolate, was too cold to even feel any warmth.
Manager Min led the hovering Da Jung to a room door.
“Here it is.”
He gently knocked and cautiously opened the door for her. There were no particular words. It was just a gesture for her to enter.
The bedroom she stepped into was also excessively large. The only furniture was, as expected, a large bed placed alone in the center of the room.
The dim orange light from a lamp in the corner was the only thing illuminating the dark room, but it was enough to recognize the figure sprawled on the bed.
His usually broad shoulders were sunk down more miserably than ever. He appeared as if he were asleep, but also seemed as if he were dead.
Had she ever seen or imagined this man in such a state before? It was an image she had never contemplated.
She couldn’t tell why, but suddenly her nose felt sour.
“….Cha Jung Hyuk?”
She cautiously approached and called out, but he didn’t stir as if he were dead.
Da Jung was somewhat shocked. Only then did Manager Min’s words that he could die seem to hit home a bit.
In her surprise, she shook his shoulder slightly.
“Cha Jung Hyuk, are you okay?”
There was no response for a while. Eventually, a dry voice weakly trickled out.
“Yoo…Da Jung?”

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.
