Filled with determination, her face made Jaehun instantly uneasy.
“What… is it?”
“First, can I use the refrigerator a bit?”
The refrigerator? Only then did he notice the bag in her hands.
“What’s that?”
Lajin responded with a puzzled expression.
“Oh… seafood. You like it, don’t you?”
After finishing dinner with Sunwoo.
Realizing that she had ordered takeout and was feeling bewildered about going to Jaehun’s home instead of her own, Lajin spoke with an embarrassed expression.
“Because you like it. I wasn’t sure if you had dinner or not…”
Remembering Sunwoo, who couldn’t continue speaking while looking at her, she felt even more awkward.
“We need to put it away quickly, but if you don’t like it…”
“No, give it here.”
Taking the bag from Lajin’s hands, Jaehun felt a strange sensation.
Even in the middle of the cold war, seeing Lajin packaging food for him made him unsure of what expression to wear. Something felt off. It was hard to explain.
Somehow, sayings like ‘marital fights are like cutting water with a knife’ came to mind.
Marriage. For some reason, the word made him feel warm inside. Suppressing that feeling, Jaehun cleared his throat.
“Did you have dinner?”
Trying to answer her question, Lajin looked at him. He had made chicken noodle soup for dinner. Since the moment they parted ways after work, Lajin came to mind. Scenes of her enjoying food in this house continued, and when he regained his senses, he was making noodles.
“No.”
However, hiding the fact that he had dinner, he started arranging the things Lajin brought on the table.
Feeling grateful for her consideration and not wanting to disrupt the atmosphere, which was showing signs of improvement, Jaehun couldn’t explain his strange mood.
Above all, seafood is all about freshness. If left in the fridge, it won’t taste good.
“I’ll do it.”
“It’s fine. Sit.”
With the table set with food, silence returned between the two sitting across from each other. Then Jaehun spoke first.
“Thank you.”
“Huh?”
“This.”
“Ah…”
His gaze felt like it was piercing through her, so Lajin looked away from the table and asked.
“Why didn’t you have dinner? It’s quite late.”
Unlike her, Jaehun spoke while piercing through Lajin with his gaze.
“I didn’t want to eat alone.”
Pause. Lajin widened her eyes. Jaehun was used to doing things alone and preferred it.
Feeling apologetic, her voice became softer.
“I thought you had a dinner appointment.”
“Yeah. I heard.”
“…”
“A bit late. I thought you’d come quickly.”
“Is that so? I thought it was appropriate.”
As soon as she realized she had to go to his place and kept glancing at the clock, she kept ordering food without realizing it.
Seeing Sunwoo propose having tea, she also declined and came here.
Although she felt uncomfortable seeing Jaehun again after their disagreement.
Knowing that she was the only one who could alleviate his insomnia, she couldn’t afford to be picky about that.
Even if she hid the meeting with Sunwoo, and even if she… She loved Jaehun.
“No, it’s late.”
Jaehun firmly stated.
Even if she had come back home about 20 minutes after meeting Sunwoo, he would have said, ‘You’re late.’
It’s strange. Waiting for a response from the other party across the sea for a few months to sign a contract was not difficult.
However, the two hours or so waiting for Lajin, who went to meet Sunwoo, was unbearable.
Feeling like she had to do something, she made noodles and, after eating, did the dishes herself.
Then, looking at the dishwasher, the image of Lajin widening her eyes, asking if he should do laundry, popped into her mind.
She thought of Lajin signing the contract with a blush on her face while in the study.
Even in the dressing room, the image of her wearing my large clothes with a shy expression came to mind.
Scenes of going down to the basement together to watch a movie, then carrying the sleeping Lajin up the stairs to the bedroom, vividly flashed before me.
It was driving me crazy. Lajin was somewhere else, yet her specter had been haunting me all along.
When did every corner of this house become devoid of traces of Lajin?
However, sitting face to face like this, instead of feeling disappointed, I felt more glad, happy, and relieved than disappointed.
This is not separation anxiety.
Then, feeling unfairly treated by the thought that she is hanging onto me like this, my tone became sharp.
“So, have you discussed the things that should be discussed between the two of us?”
“Ah…”
Lajin, recalling Sunwoo’s suggestion, trailed off.
Now that the time has come to prepare for a real breakup with her, after leaving the company and moving to the province, my connection with Jaehun will probably come to an end.
Once she marries Seoyoung, her existence will be erased.
“What’s with that reaction?”
“I have something to tell you.”
Suddenly, Jaehun felt an uneasy premonition in Lajin’s changed gaze.
“…About using the refrigerator.”
“That’s not the main point.”
Somehow, I don’t want to hear it. It feels like something I shouldn’t hear.
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.
