The atmosphere around the table had frozen over. Min Hye’s expression, which at first thought she had misheard, changed bizarrely.
“Um…?”
Both Bora and Yoon Ji blinked their eyes in surprise. Then, Ji Na, with a flustered face, quickly glanced at Jin Woo. Jin Woo, who had thrown a nuclear bomb onto the table, was actually extremely relaxed.
“I’ve been liking you all this time.”
“Re, really?”
Min Hye’s lips trembled without reply.
“Yes. Actually, I came out today to see Ji Na too.”
Min Hye’s face, which had been shocked by Ji Na’s expression, turned red. Min Hye, who was rapidly looking back and forth between Jin Woo and Ji Na, couldn’t say anything but to tremble her open lips. Then, soon, Min Hye said sharply, as if she barely came to her senses.
“You know Ji Na has a boyfriend, right?”
Ah. It was not possible to say now that the boyfriend actually didn’t exist.
Jin Woo, who came to like a girl with a boyfriend, would obviously look abnormal.
Flustered Ji Na quickly opened her mouth.
“Well, the boyfriend knows Jin Woo too.”
Huh? What does that mean. Question marks stretched on the faces of their friends.
Ji Na tried to salvage the situation while wiping cold sweat, but she could feel it was hopeless.
“The three of us have met?”
“Ah, well, not officially, but I happened to meet my boyfriend when I was with Jin Woo.”
“Whaaaat? So the two of you che”
Bora, who was about to mention cheating, abruptly shut her mouth.
Troubled Ji Na bit her lip. Ah, this is really bad.
“Cheating is when both sides are in favor, but unfortunately I’m the only one who likes it.”
Jin Woo said in a bitter voice.
“I want to steal her from him.”
How many sisters had heard such words from a handsome younger man?
Even Min Hye, who boasted a glamorous love history, probably hadn’t heard such words.
Now, the faces of Min Hye and her friends were filled with envy. Min Hye stared at Ji Na with a highly displeased face. Perhaps it was just a feeling, cursing with her eyes.
Ji Na got up from her seat with an embarrassed face.
“Ha ha… It’s been a long time since we met, but I’ll leave first. We’ll probably meet again at Min Hye’s wedding.”
Following Ji Na, Jin Woo also got up.
“I’ll also go ahead. It was nice to meet you after a long time. I’ll cover the food bill.”
At Jin Woo’s cool demeanor until the end, Bora and Yoon Ji waved with blank faces.
Only Min Hye folded her arms and bit her lip as if she didn’t like it. The friends, who had been watching Jin Woo’s back as he courteously opened and held the restaurant door, sighed regretfully.
“Isn’t Ji Na that girl scheming something?”
Min Hye muttered, cocking her head.
“Did she hire a oneday unrequited love parttime job or something?”
At Min Hye’s words, wanting to deny reality, Bora and Yoon Ji clicked their tongues.
“Ah, no way. Didn’t you see Jin Woo paying for the meal? Let’s quickly eat the remaining food.”
“Oh, darn.”
Min Hye, who was still upset, grumbled and glared fiercely at the innocent food.
“I’m not eating. It’s not good.”
“Oh, really? You were the one who booked this place, saying it’s a famous restaurant.”
“Just until a moment ago, you were saying it was delicious while eating.”
At Bora and Yoon Ji’s words, Min Hye could only pant heavily without a word to say.

The two who left the restaurant walked the quiet evening street.
The summer night wind brushing past Ji Na’s face was gentle.
“I’ve always loved summer. It’s warm even at night, not cold. It’s a season where my heart can relax endlessly.”
Unlike the winter wind that made one huddle.
At the unexpected summer story, Jin Woo tuned into her voice. The sound of Ji Na’s footsteps, the clear summer air enveloping them, a moment from somewhere in the past came to mind.
“Since the second year of high school, I hated summer. Because every summer since then, there was someone I remembered.”
That day… Probably the day Jin Woo confessed to Ji Na. As Ji Na’s gentle voice continued, Jin Woo’s steps gradually slowed. Ji Na, who had been walking ahead, slowly turned around.
“Every summer, I regretted, over and over, that I lost your heart.”
Over her faint smile, a yellow street lamp light settled down. It twinkled like a star cluster, and Jin Woo silently watched her.
“When my exboyfriend confessed, I accepted because I didn’t want to regret again.”
Not even knowing if it was love.
It was a choice I made just because I didn’t want to regret, without even weighing my own feelings.
Ji Na looked into the void with aggrieved eyes.
“That too was my choice, so it’s all my responsibility.”
Ji Na paused for a moment and continued.
“Thank you for coming today because of me. And thank you so much for standing up for my dignity in front of my friends.”
In fact, she was about to run away, but thanks to Jin Woo, she was able to leave with dignity.
Seeing Min Hye’s resentful face was like scraping out pentup emotions from years ago, it felt completely refreshing inside.
“Thank you in many ways.”
All my foul mood flew away with the bomb you threw.
“Do you still dislike summer?”
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.
