Jin Woo and she entered any visible restaurant near their company. The restaurant was small and shabby, but that didn’t bother them.
While looking at Jin Woo’s unusually white and long fingers as he held the stainless steel water bottle provided by the restaurant owner, Ji Na cautiously opened her mouth.
“Seo Jin Woo.”
Due to the awkwardness of only calling his name, she reluctantly managed to utter his first name after much contemplation. As Jin Woo placed a cup filled with water in front of Ji Na, his warm, chestnutcolored eyes turned to her.
“Yes, Sister.”
Facing Jin Woo’s radiant smile that could melt even the glaciers of the North Pole, Ji Na briefly composed herself.
“I have a boyfriend.”
At her abrupt statement, the corners of Jin Woo’s gently curved lips stiffened slightly.
“You said you have some business at our company, so I can’t help but see you today. But we can’t meet separately in the future. That’s the right thing to do.”
They weren’t even close friends. If anything, one had confessed, and the other had refused; it was that kind of relationship.
“I’m not sure about you, but I feel uncomfortable because I have a boyfriend.”
After finishing her calm statement, Ji Na quickly raised her cup to her lips. Drinking the cold water, she felt a slight cooling down of her heated face.
Jin Woo, who had been quietly looking at Ji Na, slowly responded.
“I came to submit documents to the company today.”
“Documents to the company…?”
As Ji Na asked, Jin Woo chuckled lightly.
“Application documents. I was waiting for an interview this afternoon when I happened to see you.”
At his words, Ji Na’s eyes widened.
“You’re applying for a job?”
“Yes.”
Jin Woo slowly leaned his upper body back against the chair. Even his simple posture was elegant.
“Oh, I see.”
Ji Na murmured quietly.
Over the course of ten years, Jin Woo had definitely changed. Not only had he grown into a fullfledged man physically, but his emitted aura was also different.
To the point where it was hard to recall their first meeting ten years ago, with Jin Woo looking at her gloomily with a dark expression. Like the sun god in Greek mythology, it seemed as if a halo was shining from behind him; his face was bright.
“And.”
The gaze of Jin Woo, who was looking at Ji Na, darkened slightly.
“I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Sister. I should have been more careful, but I wasn’t thinking enough.”
When Jin Woo lowered his eyes, shadows formed along his long eyelashes. The atmosphere changed with his expression shift, as if the sun was momentarily covered by clouds. Wondering if she had been too stern, Ji Na quickly waved her hand dismissively.
“It was nice to see you after such a long time. We just need to be careful with each other from now on.”
At Ji Na’s words, Jin Woo finally managed a faint smile.
“I had a lot to say to you, Sister.”
Jin Woo stopped talking as if he was regretful. His eyes turned back to Ji Na again.
He had a lot to say judging by his expression, but Jin Woo changed the subject.
“Let’s eat first.”
“YeYes.”
Ji Na also smiled awkwardly.
Seo Jin Woo, who suddenly appeared in front of Ji Na.
He was as magnificent as she had occasionally imagined. No, he was much more amazing than she had imagined.
‘You don’t match him. People should live according to their status.’
For a moment, the voice of Min Hye from a very long time ago popped into her mind.
It lingered vividly in her ear, as if she was speaking right next to her.
“Since we met like this today, let’s enjoy our meal. The menu here is…”
Ji Na looked for the menu, speaking deliberately brightly as if to shake off the voice of Min Hye that was ringing in her ears.
Gut stew, hangover soup, bone hangover soup.
Ji Na’s eyes, which were looking at the menu to overcome the crisis, froze in surprise.
Of all things.
It was a menu she couldn’t eat. It was obvious that not only she, but also Seo Jin Woo, who had studied in the United States for 10 years, wouldn’t be able to eat it.
It was her own fault for impulsively entering without even looking at the name of the restaurant.
She couldn’t go back out… Ji Na quickly thought of a way to avoid the difficult situation in her mind.
‘Should I just leave? Saying I will return. But I even had water already. Oh… What to do.’
Then she heard Jin Woo’s soft voice.
“Auntie, please give me a bowl of hangover soup.”
At the unexpected order, Ji Na quickly turned her head to look at Jin Woo.
“And, my friend can’t eat, do you have any other side dishes by any chance?”
As the auntie receiving the order made a baffled face, Jin Woo offered her a sheepish smile.
“In fact, I insisted on coming here knowing that my friend couldn’t eat it because I wanted to eat your hangover soup.”
At Jin Woo’s words, the auntie’s attitude turned friendly.
“Oh, if a handsome young man came on purpose… We have soybean paste soup here, do you want to eat it with rice?”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Anyone would think he was a regular customer here for 10 years.
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.
