I couldn’t figure out with what mindset I got on the bus. I absentmindedly gazed out the window as the bus ran.
Throughout, the words Yoo Hyun whispered in my ear didn’t leave my mind.
[“I hate you.”] [……] [“Don’t delude yourself. I won’t give up on you. I’ll do whatever it takes to bring you back to my side.”]It was a voice I had never heard before, low and cold.
‘I thought it might be easier to hate.’
Hatred was another beginning.
‘What can I do to make my brother comfortable?’
It couldn’t end well, and it was painful even though I knew it was a relationship that could never go back to how it used to be.
It would have been nice if the breakup between lovers who once loved each other and the end of a bitter one-sided love were both beautiful farewells…
Just like human emotions that can’t be precisely cut, human relationships can’t be perfectly severed either.
As time passed, memories of good times that were fading away came to mind, stabbing at my heart.
[“This stop is Hannam Intersection for the university hospital. Please exit the bus after it has come to a complete stop.”]When the announcement for the stop played, Arin gathered her thoughts and got off the bus.
“Arin. Ha.”
Jaehyuk, who was standing in front of the house, ran and hugged her as soon as he saw her. Embracing Arin, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.
“Oppa, how did you come here?”
“I heard from Secretary Shin. So I called, but you didn’t pick up, so.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know the phone rang.”
Jaehyuk hugged Arin even tighter.
“No, it’s fine. I saw your face, so that’s enough.”
“How about work?”
Jaehyuk wordlessly hugged Arin and buried his face in her shoulder.
It’s not necessary to say where you’re going when you meet a friend.
Why was she so anxious?
In case her mother did something to Arin in a place she didn’t know…
Jaehyuk couldn’t do anything for two hours when he couldn’t reach Arin.
When he came to his senses, he was already opening the front door.
“Oppa.”
Jaehyuk’s hand, which was wrapped around her back, was trembling.
“It’s okay. Nothing happened… There were concerns, but Oppa’s worries were unnecessary.”
Arin slowly stroked Jaehyuk’s back, who couldn’t calm down even while holding her.
“I didn’t think about it. I’ll make sure to talk to you from now on, so you won’t worry, Oppa.”
He nodded slightly as she comforted him by stroking his back.
“Actually, I went to Memorium today.”
Jaehyuk looked up and stared at Arin. The shaky gaze clashed in the air.
He seemed to have many questions he wanted to ask, such as who she met and what she did.
“Is that so.”
However, he didn’t utter any other words.
‘I know Oppa will be concerned… but hiding it is even more unpleasant.’
Arin had no intention of deceiving Jaehyuk. Arin honestly revealed her meeting with Yoo Hyun.
“I met Yoo Hyun Oppa there.”
Jaehyuk’s gaze wavered, but he maintained silence with a complex expression until Arin finished speaking.
And when all of Arin’s words were done, Jaehyuk responded by holding her hand instead of speaking.
“Thank you, Oppa.”
Arin was grateful that Jaehyuk didn’t say anything.
As they walked a little holding the large hand, the figure of a director standing in front of a luxury sedan came into view.
When Arin glanced at him, Jaehyuk made a slightly awkward expression.
“Sorry for coming out suddenly…”
Arin felt strange about Jaehyuk’s words. She knew better than anyone else how significant the existence of the company was to him.
For him to rush over during work, leaving everything behind and not being able to contact her.
‘If I’m happy about something like this, I must be really strange.’
Why did her heart feel so overwhelmed?
Unable to contain the boiling emotions, Arin wrapped her arms around Jaehyuk’s waist.
“Arin?”
Jaehyuk’s surprised voice reached her ears.
“Oppa, have a safe trip. I’ll wait for you.”
Shortly after, a voice with a hint of laughter echoed in the wind.
A week later,
“Where is this?”
“I came because I missed you. Just wanted to see your face. Nothing else.”
Yoo Hyun looked down coldly at Hayeon, who had come to Memorium.
“I think I said it last time…”
He ran his fingers through his hair roughly as he spoke.
“Don’t mistake yourself for being my girlfriend again.”
“I’m not mistaken.”
“But why did you come here?”
Yoo Hyun lifted Hayeon’s chin with his hand.
“I said it, right? There’s only one thing I want. Your sister Min Yujin marrying Ban Jaehyuk. Tell her that.”
She couldn’t tell him. That she made a deal to ruin the marriage between Jaehyuk and her sister…
“Your sister is upset too. She listens well as an obedient little sister. But why are you still by that man’s side?”
“Don’t say that. People’s hearts don’t change as they wish.”
“Then… Why should I be by your side? Have you already forgotten? You’re not what I need.”
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.
