The doctor said it would take at least three weeks for the leg to heal, and if she couldn’t walk until then, the efforts she had made during that time would be in vain, so Sooyoung was anxious.
“I need to practice using crutches. Let’s not go far, just walk for 10 minutes here.”
“…I don’t want to.”
It didn’t make sense to take care of a visually impaired person when she couldn’t control her own body.
“Seol Woojin can take care of me.”
What is this woman talking about? Who is supposed to take care of whom…
With an unsatisfactory expression, she spoke to Woojin as if teaching a child.
“Stop trying to be overly considerate and try taking care of other people too. Prince sickness, seriously.”
The sound of Sooyoung’s nagging made him clench his fist. Shouldn’t he have refrained from saying “Prince sickness”?
“You are…”
Woojin muttered with a sigh mixed in his words.
“You’re clueless, pretending to be clueless…”
“What cluelessness?”
“…Forget it, forget it.”
“Shall we go out, then? Let’s sit on the bench for a moment and come back. If it gets colder, we won’t even be able to sit on the bench. Oh, by the way, what are you doing for Christmas?”
It’s been ten years since Christmas, not even knowing if it’s Christmas. This year might be different with this woman…
“I’m going to spend Christmas and Christmas Eve with my friends.”
At her words, Woojin clenched his jaw. That’s right…
“Sora has a husband, so she can’t come out. Three singles exchange gifts and have dinner together.”
If you have a husband, you don’t need to come out, but if you have a boyfriend, you have to? But it’s not meeting a man, so should I understand? Yes.
Women need time for themselves too. It’s the time Kim Sooyoung has lived until now…
I have to edit the celestial manuscript…
“But this year, I can’t go out either, so we’ll meet just the two of us. What are we going to do?”
Huh? Woojin’s sharp eyes turned to Sooyoung.
“I have to spend time with Seol Woojin. Then, Mijin and Yeeun should meet alone… Shall we watch a movie? I should tell them in advance that we can’t go out.”
When Sooyoung hesitated with a voice that felt both sorry and excited, Woojin, unknowingly, opened his mouth.
“…In 10 minutes.”
“Huh?”
“Shall we go for a walk?”
Suddenly, wondering if there was another change, Sooyoung got up from her seat, saying, “Yes!”
Leaving Sooyoung, who was busy with her coat and crutches behind, Woojin, who went to get his coat, tried not to make a sound of laughter that kept popping out.
As she was clumsy at using crutches and had to hold the crutches with both hands, and since one hand had to hold Woojin’s hand, when the crutches kept slipping, Sooyoung’s body also slipped, and every time her body slipped, she stepped on the ground with the cast on her leg, causing her ankle to hurt.
She was wondering why the bench, which was so close, seemed so far away when Woojin stopped walking.
“…Because I told you not to come out…”
“Huh? Why? I’m walking well, aren’t I?”
When Sooyoung straightened up and spoke naturally, Woojin’s forehead wrinkled even more.
“Trick the ghost. I don’t miss a single sound of your breathing. It’s uncomfortable and painful now. Your footsteps are awkward too.”
But if she admitted that it was uncomfortable and painful now, it was certain that she wouldn’t come out again.
As Sooyoung hesitated, Woojin let go of her hand and came forward.
“Why are you hesitating?”
Wondering why he came forward, when Sooyoung looked up at Woojin, he suddenly turned around, showing his back, and squatted in front of her.
“Get on.”
“Huh?”
Sooyoung’s face turned pink.
In a hurry, she looked around, but somehow knowing, Woojin dryly said, “There are no people at this time,” and instructed her.
“Get on.”
“S-Sunbae, my back is broken!”
“Just because I lifted you doesn’t mean your back is broken. Don’t ignore people.”
“No, I’m not ignoring you…”
“Hurry up. It’s hard to crouch because your legs are long.”
“Hurry, get on. It’s difficult for me to crouch because your legs are long.”
Deliberately infusing annoyance into his voice, after a while, the small body awkwardly touched his back.
With a solid arm holding the crutches, it also surrounded the neck.
“I’ll carry the crutches.”
Woojin lifted the crutches, leaned his arm back, and supported her buttocks.
When her body seemed to settle properly on his back, Woojin carefully stood up.
Whether the woman on his back was nervous or the blocks on the floor bothered him, he was not paying attention, but he bravely took a step.
“If I’m going too fast or if it seems like we’re going to collide, let me know.”
At Woojin’s words, Sooyoung spoke with a tense voice.
“There’s a hole in front of us, well. Don’t you know the way better than me now?”
“Relax your body. It feels like General Ji-ha, carrying a mountain on his back.”
Why General Ji-ha… Sooyoung grumbled, sprawling her body on his back.
Although his shoulders were broad, she had only thought he was thin, but once she was carried, he was undeniably a man.
Broad, firm, and warm.
“Oh, Seol Woojin is a man.”
As Sooyoung whispered in his ear, Woojin said expressionlessly, “You too.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“You’re also a man.”
Sooyoung was wondering what he meant when she tilted her head, but soon she smacked his shoulder with her fist.
Because of that, his center shook for a moment, but he quickly regained balance.
“Ouch… Why are you so violent! You’re a man!”
“Hey, right now, I can’t feel it because your clothes are thick! I have my own charm, too, you know?”
“If you look down from above, it might seem like that…”
“Oh, really!”
“Stay still. I might drop you.”
Although he spoke calmly, his heart was pounding as if it would burst.
Regardless of whether it was a man’s body or not, the woman on his back was small and soft.
As if Woojin depended only on him, the arms around his neck were warm. Even in the dead of winter, he didn’t like anything touching his neck…
Whether it was a cardigan or a warm natural scarf, it was so cozy that he didn’t want to untie it.
A man who had been capturing the two from a distance on his phone lowered his hand, zoomed in on the screen to check the image quality.
Satisfied with the clear image quality, he nodded, turned around, and headed to the underground parking lot.
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.
