Ha Joon kept his lips tightly shut, simply listening to Su Ah’s words, showing no movement at all.
In this desperate moment, when she felt alone, there was someone who appeared before her eyes like a lie.
To Ha Joon, Su Ah seemed like a mirage found in the middle of a desert.
A mirage that seemed to disappear the moment it was touched.
“Why wouldn’t you have a place to go? I am by your side, Ha Joon. So hurry down. Otherwise, I’ll just leave.”
Su Ah twisted her body at the end of her words, as if her threat would work.
“……!”
At that moment, Ha Joon’s body flinched.
Even though it might be a fantasy, he did not want to lose her.
“You don’t want me to leave, do you?”
Ha Joon nodded silently in response.
“So, come here quickly.”
Su Ah slowly approached, stretching out her right hand, and Ha Joon’s gaze quickly reached her fingertips.
Can I really hold her?
What if the moment I grab her, Su Ah disappears too?
Although Ha Joon’s heart was filled with fear, he eventually reached out to Su Ah.
Seizing the moment, Su Ah quickly pulled his hand and, at the same time, Ha Joon fell into her small embrace.
“Really, you never listen.”
Finally, as if relieved, Su Ah opened her mouth with a faint sigh.
“You were like this in the mountains too. I told you not to climb high places because they’re dangerous. Are you going to keep worrying me like this?”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry…….”
Murmuring softly, Ha Joon buried his head in Su Ah’s neck.
Just as Ji Hoon was entering the parking lot of Ha Joon’s apartment, his phone rang.
It was a call from Su Ah.
“Ha Joon? Have you found Ha Joon?”
As soon as Ji Hoon pressed the call button, he asked urgently.
“Yes. I found him.”
“Where? Where was he? No, I’m in the parking lot right now. I’ll come up immediately. Let’s talk when I get there.”
Ji Hoon hurriedly finished parking and ran towards Ha Joon’s house.
“Hey! Min Ha Joon!”
As Ji Hoon entered the house shouting, Su Ah, who was coming out of Ha Joon’s room, put her index finger to her lips.
“Shh! He just fell asleep.”
“Asleep?”
“Yes. He kept sweating coldly and mumbling the same words until he fell asleep a while ago.”
“What was he mumbling?”
“He said he was abandoned, that he was rejected. What on earth happened at his family home?”
“Rejected?”
Ji Hoon asked, narrowing his eyebrows as if he couldn’t believe Su Ah’s words.
“I’ll go see Ha Joon for a moment.”
Leaving Su Ah who wanted an explanation behind, Ji Hoon moved towards Ha Joon’s room.
Upon entering the room, he saw Ha Joon lying on the bed, his eyebrows tightly knitted, breathing heavily.
“I’m sorry. I should have been there for you. I should have understood you who couldn’t think otherwise. I’m sorry…….”
I should have just told him.
That his uncle and I were just upset. That it was just that. I should have talked to him.
Why did he reveal his resentment that he had been holding back for so long?
He regretted his actions that must have seemed cold.
Ji Hoon carefully tucked Ha Joon’s hand, which was outside the blanket, into it, and slowly left the room.
Upon closing the door and turning around, he met Su Ah’s gaze. She was standing with her arms crossed, eyes full of curiosity.
“Tell me now. What exactly happened to Ha Joon?”
“There was a bit of misunderstanding among the family. I think I should go see my uncle quickly. I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow. Ha Joon might tell you before that though.”
“……”
Su Ah wanted to ask again, but seeing Ji Hoon’s dark complexion, she couldn’t bring herself to do it and only pouted her lips.
“Oh, right. And I have a favor to ask.”
He was suddenly asking for a favor without giving any explanations. His words sounded annoying, and Su Ah glanced away.
“What is it?”
“No matter what Ha Joon says, just understand that he could only think that way. Please tell him that.”
“What are you talking about?”
Su Ah couldn’t understand Ji Hoon’s behavior as he continued to make incomprehensible comments.
“Just tell him that. I’m sorry, but I’m asking for a favor regarding Ha Joon. If you think his condition is really bad, prevent him from going to work tomorrow. I’ll arrange for you to take a sick leave as well, so please stay with Ha Joon.”
“Okay. I’ll contact you after assessing the situation.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Leaving a pile of unanswered questions behind, Ji Hoon left Ha Joon’s house.
What on earth could have happened this time?
Dating an extraordinary man was never a smooth journey.
Left alone, Su Ah let out a deep sigh as if the ground was collapsing beneath her, and leaned against the couch in the living room.
“Uncle, I’m here.”
The gaze of the family members sitting on the couch all turned towards Ji Hoon at once.
“I see. How is Ha Joon?”
Hyun Seong hurried for a detailed explanation as he had only received a simple message that Ji Hoon had left to find Ha Joon before departing from the apartment.
“He didn’t look too well.”
Ji Hoon answered, approaching and sitting on the sofa.
“In that case, you should have brought him here.”
“I saw him sleeping on my way here. And there’s someone else who can stay with Ha Joon.”
“Huh? Someone else who can stay with him? What do you mean?”
“The person Ha Joon is in love with right now.”
“In love with someone?”
At Ji Hoon’s words, the family’s eyes widened as if they were about to burst.
In love with someone? They couldn’t even imagine such a thing.
Let alone dating, they had never seen him properly lock eyes with a woman. And now, suddenly, he was in love with someone.
“Who is that? What does she do?”
“You’ll hear that from Ha Joon later. For now, I just want to let you know that I didn’t leave Ha Joon alone.”
Ji Hoon’s expression stiffened momentarily after he finished speaking.
“And that’s not the problem right now.”
“Huh? There’s another problem?”
How should he say this? The words hesitated because it was not an easy topic to bring up.
“Ha Joon is…”
Ji Hoon cautiously started.
“He seems to think we abandoned him like his biological father.”
At the sound of those words, Hyun Seong’s heart dropped.
“What, what are you saying? Abandoned? Who? Who abandoned whom?”
“It seems that us leaving the living room was quite a shock. So, it seems like it brought back unpleasant memories from his childhood.”
At Ji Hoon’s words, Hyun Seong’s eyes widened and shook.
“That’s impossible. I just, I just…”
Hyun Seong could not continue his sentence.
He had not expected that his unintentional actions would cause Ha Joon so much pain.
“I need to see Ha Joon.”
Hyun Seong jumped up from the sofa and turned towards the entrance.
“He’s sleeping now. Let’s let him rest today, and when he calms down a bit tomorrow, we can talk carefully then.”
Hye Seon stopped Hyun Seong’s steps.
“That’s right. It would be best to just leave him alone today.”
Hyun Seong looked back and forth between Hye Seon and Ji Hoon’s faces, then reluctantly sat back down on the sofa as if he had no choice.
Soon, a heavy silence descended upon their living room.

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.
