Visible Love (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 7
The tteokbokki was probably getting cold, but since he said he doesn’t eat hot food well anyway, it should be fine even if it cools down, Su Young thought leisurely as she entered the upscale apartment complex where Woo Jin lives.
Just as she was about to get off the elevator, the front door suddenly opened and that man who’s supposedly the representative came out. When he saw Su Young, his face lit up and he shouted.
“Huh? Ju Young!”
Who’s Ju Young… Su Young smiled awkwardly and answered.
“It’s Su Young. Kim, Su, Young.”
“Ah, Su Young, Su Young. I misspoke. Sorry about that.”
He answered cheerfully and glanced at his wristwatch.
“You’re here early today? If you’re not busy, would you mind chatting with me for a bit right over there?”
“Huh? Oh, yes……”
The tteokbokki was already cold and probably getting soggy, but she couldn’t refuse because of the tteokbokki, so she got back on the elevator she had just descended with Ji Hyun.
Taking a seat on a bench in the park in front of the apartment, Ji Hyun pulled an energy drink from his briefcase and handed it to her.
“Want one? It’s good.”
“Oh! This is the one my grandma always gave me when I went to her house as a kid. They still make this?”
“Yeah. It works like magic when your blood sugar drops.”
“Do you ever get low blood sugar?”
“I always feel drained after meeting the landlord……”
Even without him explaining why, Su Young somehow understood the feeling, so she didn’t ask further. He opened the drink, took a big gulp, then smiled brightly and said.
“I heard you ate ramen with Woo Jin yesterday?”
“Huh? Oh, yes……”
She suddenly worried she might get scolded for feeding him that, but Ji Hyun said something unexpected.
“Are you okay where you got burned?”
“Huh? How did you know I got burned?”
At Su Young’s words, the person who asked sounded even more surprised.
“Oh, so you really did get burned? Woo Jin said he thought you might have, are you alright?”
Before going home yesterday, Woo Jin had casually handed her a T-shirt and said, if broth splashed on her, she could change if she wanted. When Su Young said she was fine, she had been a little surprised watching him turn away with an “okay.”
He spoke bluntly, but like with the slippers, he was unexpectedly considerate about clothes too. But she thought he hadn’t noticed the burn.
“He has some kind of sixth sense……”
Muttering to herself without realizing, Su Young heard Ji Hyun reply playfully.
“He really seems like he can see, right? That guy’s super smart. It just doesn’t show because of his temper. Anyway, is the burn really okay?”
“It’s just a tiny one. Really tiny. It was fine after one night.”
“Did you put any ointment on it? It’s a girl’s body…… I’ll apologize on his behalf. Sorry.”
“Oh, didn’t you hear? It was my fault. I was shoving the ramen bowl around.”
“Oh, really? Woo Jin didn’t tell me the details…… Anyway, sorry.”
As Ji Hyun kept apologizing with drooping eyes, Su Young smiled awkwardly and rubbed her stomach.
“It’s really not that big a deal…… I can’t exactly show you……”
At that, he glanced briefly downward following her hand, then raised his eyes again and said carefully.
“Um…… if you come without having lunch, would you eat lunch with Woo Jin? I eat dinner with him, but somehow I can’t manage his breakfast or lunch.”
“But would Seol Woo Jin even want to? Honestly, just getting him to eat one bowl of ramen yesterday was incredibly hard.”
“He’s really shy around strangers, that’s why. But he keeps telling you to come and eats with you…… How did you manage that in just four days? Teach me your secret.”
He was genuinely curious. Even family couldn’t do it, yet Su Young had in just a few days. How?
Ji Hyun was utterly amazed, but Su Young answered surprisingly calmly.
“Well, maybe it’s my beauty?”
At Su Young’s words, Ji Hyun looked dazed for a moment before bursting into laughter. Still, just in case, he asked.
“You know…… about Woo Jin’s situation, right?”
He wondered if she thought Woo Jin could see even a little. After all, anyone who saw that eye contact would be convinced he was looking at the other person.
But Su Young answered seriously.
“I saw on YouTube that visually impaired people can roughly guess someone’s appearance from their voice. They did experiments and it was pretty accurate.”
“……You looked that up?”
“Oh, yes……”
When Ji Hyun’s voice grew calm, Su Young glanced at him, worried she had said something wrong.
But Ji Hyun just stared intently at her face for a while before giving a soft smile.
He wasn’t quite on the landlord’s level, but this man was really good-looking too.
His eyes, nose, mouth—nothing out of place. And considering he put up with the landlord’s temper, his patience must be incredible.
“Then, you’ll have lunch together from now on? Only if Woo Jin doesn’t hate it, no need to force it.”
He said as he stood from the bench. Su Young stood up too.
“Yes.”
“Looks like tteokbokki today. Smells killer.”
“Huh?! You can smell it? They wrapped it up really tight in plastic……”
“Yeah. Your bag probably smells now. Enjoy it with Woo Jin. It’s been ages since he had that, he’ll probably love it.”
As Ji Hyun got up, Su Young stood too and bowed her head politely. Watching her hurry back into the apartment entrance, Ji Hyun smiled lazily.
– What a strange woman. She’s on my mind.
Woo Jin had once said to Ji Hyun, who was amazed they ate ramen together.
There’s someone who concerns me…… It felt like somewhere in the egg Woo Jin had locked himself in, a crack was starting to form.
[This is the timeline separator]Su Young poured the tteokbokki onto a large plate and waited for Woo Jin to come out. He came out for the smell of ramen, so maybe he’d come for tteokbokki too.
But even after ten minutes, there was no sign of life from his room. Su Young cautiously approached his door and started pacing back and forth.
It would be embarrassing to knock and drag him out just for tteokbokki. It’d be perfect if he came out on his own.
After pacing about five times, the door suddenly flew open and he said irritably.
“What?”
“Huh? Oh, no……”
Seeing the sharply protruding collarbone and surprisingly firm chest inside the deep V-neck knit, Su Young unconsciously swallowed hard.
His body…… seems even better than I thought.
“What is it?”
At his cold tone, she shook her head slightly to snap out of it and muttered.
“Nothing, just…… if you haven’t eaten lunch, want to have tteokbokki together?”
“I’m not eating.”
As he started going back inside, Su Young lightly grabbed his arm, then quickly let go and said.
“It’s super delicious! I carried it all the way from the library for Seol Woo Jin.”
Honestly it wasn’t heavy, but to show off, she deliberately thumped her arms with her fists so he could hear.
Woo Jin turned his body back and looked down at her.
In the shimmering air between the light, her scent gently spread. Where had he smelled that fragrance before?
“Why did you want to eat it with me?”
Because I want to eat together—did that need a reason? Su Young widened her eyes and said.
“Because I want to eat with you.”
“So why?”
“To be honest……”
Ah, this needs a reason too? She quickly racked her brain.
Truthfully, even before the representative mentioned it, she had already decided to start eating lunch with him from now on. She hadn’t thought about why.
“I…… can’t eat alone! Mom leaves early in the morning so I skip breakfast, and after the library I come here, so when I get here I’m starving, but if I have to eat alone again I’ll starve all day! For employee welfare, could you please eat with me?”
Pathetic, so pathetic. As she spoke, she realized she bought it with her own money to give him, yet here she was begging like this.
But he was so quick-witted she worried he’d see through her, so she quickly laughed “ho ho ho.”
“Weird.”
He frowned and said.
“Huh?”
“That laughing sound of yours.”
Ugh…… Should I have just laughed my usual “puhaha”? If I did, he’d probably call that weirder.
Woo Jin slowly closed the door, passed by her, and headed to the kitchen. He went straight to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Su Young hurriedly took the seat across from him, scooped some tteokbokki onto a small plate for him, and said.
“There’s a fork on your right, Seol Woo Jin, water on your left. Thank you for eating with me.”
After that unnecessary greeting, Su Young quickly put some tteokbokki on her own plate and took a bite.
As expected, it was soggy. Not inedible, but it would have been several times tastier if eaten right away.
She had begged him to eat it, so she looked at Woo Jin anxiously, afraid he’d complain it wasn’t good, but he just quietly chewed the tteokbokki.
No, why are his lips sexy even while eating tteokbokki? Especially the way he lightly licked his red lips with his tongue to avoid spilling sauce—it somehow looked obscene.
All the steamy scenes from webtoons she had seen flashed through her mind, and Su Young’s ears turned red. Afraid he might notice, she bowed her head deeply. What’s wrong with you, Kim Su Young. Get a grip!
“It got too soggy, right? I shouldn’t have brought it.”
Trying to hide her dirty thoughts by pretending to be nice and apologizing, Woo Jin calmly said.
“It’s delicious.”
“Huh?”
“Better than lunchboxes. Bring it again.”
His voice was dry as could be, yet somehow it felt like flowers were blooming in his words. Fluffy white lily-of-the-valley.
Is this guy actually nice or mean?
[This is the timeline separator]The moment the clock hit 4, as she was slinging her bag over her shoulder, she heard the door open.
“Leaving?”
At Woo Jin’s question, Su Young answered nonchalantly.
“Yes. It’s 4 o’clock.”
Wondering if he was going to see her off, she stared at him, but he said nothing. Leaning against the doorframe, he somehow looked like a kid who lost his mom at an amusement park.
“Should I stay longer?”
When Su Young quietly asked, Woo Jin’s amber eyes sparkled as he looked in her direction.
“……Coffee……”
He muttered softly, and Su Young perked up her ears.
“Huh?”
“Make me coffee. Iced.”
After saying it, Woo Jin flinched. What am I saying? Am I trying to keep her here when she’s leaving?
[This is the timeline separator]An unplanned tea time happened for both of them. Sitting across from each other at the table, they just sipped their coffee in silence.
“Do you like coffee?”
After a long while, Su Young cautiously asked.
“No.”
An unexpected answer.
“Then why drink it?”
“To stay awake.”
“Are you sleepy?”
“Yeah.”
“Then just sleep?”
“Then I can’t sleep at night.”
“You have insomnia?”
“Yeah.”
“Ahh……”
For Su Young who falls asleep the moment her head hits the pillow, it was an incomprehensible illness.
Is that why he’s so slim? But if you don’t sleep, your skin should be dull, yet his is like porcelain. What’s with this inconsistency?
Above all, sitting face-to-face drinking coffee with a guy this prickly…… it really was tremendous progress.
More than anything, sitting across from him like this and looking at that face felt like an automatic eye cleanse.
Woo Jin, for his part, found the situation of sitting like this with her absurd. Holding back a woman who was trying to leave, what is this……
Yet he was somehow grateful that she didn’t think he was weird and kept talking to him casually. Her pleasant low voice felt comfortable and nice.
“Oh right, thanks for the slippers.”
Su Young thanked him belatedly. At her thanks, Woo Jin deliberately answered even more gruffly.
“Seol Ji Hyun bought them. I don’t know anything.”
As if—he had personally asked while showing the size by touching her foot.
Order slippers around this size. And get ones that stick to the sole so they don’t slip off.
He couldn’t see the pattern or color, but the shape and feel when he touched them were satisfying. Even the band at the heel.
“They…… fit well?”
He asked a bit hesitantly, and Su Young answered with laughter in her voice.
“They’re like custom-made slippers. How did you buy ones that fit so perfectly?”
“I felt it last time.”
She smiled silently watching him explain how he knew the size even after saying he didn’t know.
“But Seol Ji Hyun, Seol Woo Jin…… how do you have the same family name? Seol isn’t a common surname……”
“We’re cousins. Seol Ji Hyun is two years older.”
Then he’s the hyung, yet he talks informally like that. His personality is no joke…… She felt like falling for the representative’s humanity all over again.
“You……”
When Woo Jin started to say something and then closed his mouth, Su Young quickly spoke instead.
“Me what?”
“Is housekeeping your actual job? You seem young……”
“Of course not. I graduated the year before last, and now I’m preparing for employment.”
“For three years?”
“I used to teach kids at a cram school. Part-time instructor. But Mom kept telling me to get a proper job, so I took TOEIC late and everything, but my scores weren’t good so I kept failing the document screening.”
“What kind of work do you want to do?”
What do I want to do. She always got stuck here. What do I actually want?
“Don’t you have something you want to do?”
“I just vaguely thought I wanted to be a writer.”
“A writer?”
Woo Jin’s expression turned quite serious.
“Why do you want to be a writer?”
“Just writing my thoughts and having other people read them seemed so attractive…… I wrote a lot of novels in middle and high school too. In notebooks. My friends would pass them around and write their thoughts at the back…… I had tons of fans.”
“Don’t you write now?”
“I don’t even know how one becomes a writer, and since my major was Korean language education, I naturally ended up in teaching.”
“Writing has nothing to do with your major. You can write even if you majored in math.”
“I know. I just…… never had the chance, I guess……”
“You probably didn’t look for it. Opportunities come to those who seek them.”
He was right, but getting hit with facts kept making her secretly annoyed. Anyone can talk. This time it was her turn to attack.
“What does Seol Woo Jin do in his room all day? Practice poses in front of the mirror?”
“……No mirror.”
“Ah……”
She thought it was a killer blow, but she got knocked out in one hit.
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.
