Due to staying up all night, Taekyu scratched his stiffened eyes as he descended the hospital stairs.
It was a path to the neurosurgery department to return the information received from Heewon yesterday and to get new research data. Suddenly, between the emergency exit doors, the thoracic surgery station came into view.
Laughter that seemed joyful seeped through the door crack. It was Nalim’s laughter.
“You little rascal.”
The expression filled with anger, the trembling body. Taekyu swept away the slap he received from Nalim and smirked.
It hurt even though he dodged. She chose only words that could cause harm.
Because of a mistake for one night, I hoped that neither I nor she would take responsibility for our feelings. It might not be true feelings. Because I know too well how such meetings end. I experienced it thoroughly.
The momentarily stopped steps moved. Not toward the neurosurgery that Taekyu should go, but toward the thoracic surgery.
Let’s assume I’m a bad person who got hit and forget everything that happened. I can return to my original place. So, let’s not create an awkward situation.
When the resolute steps reached the thoracic surgery station, Taekyu’s forehead twisted.
“Hello, Professor Yoon.”
It was undoubtedly Nalim’s laughter, undoubtedly heard like that…
“Yes… Hello.”
Taekyu’s eyes, who greeted, swept through the station, not the nurse.
Nowhere to be found, Nalim was not there.
Seeing his behavior as if looking for someone, the nurse who was standing in front of him laughed and said, “Professor Yoon has the day off today.”
“Oh, I see. I was on my way to NS (Neurosurgery).”
I have to go down one more floor. Smiling coolly, Taekyu descended the stairs.
He sighed deeply, placing the pile of research papers on the station.
What’s this? Did I hear things?
“Why are you thinking like that?”
Leaning on the station, Taekyu’s side, Heewon approached. Placing a stack of papers on the station, Heewon said, “Tell everything to your brother. I’ll help with all advice, not just relationship advice.”
“…”
“Relationship… Issues? You really look like someone who experienced unrequited love. I’m a bit weak in that area, but I’ll listen.”
Ah, why are only these kinds of people around me? Heewon grumbled.
“What unrequited love… Where do I have time to date? I’m so busy that I might die.”
Furrowing his brows, Taekyu pushed the research materials he brought a while ago toward Heewon.
“The first year of residency is the most challenging, isn’t it? I wanted to escape then too. I used to talk about it with Sunwoo all the time. I wanted to run away.”
“Professor Yoon said that too?”
“Well, isn’t he human? Sometimes he doesn’t seem like one. Especially during surgery, he really seems like a robot. You’ll understand if you watch in the OR (Operating Room).”
Shoulder, which did not loosen even with the joke, Heewon patted Taekyu’s shoulder two or three times and raised a fist on the station.
“Taekyu must be happy to have such a cousin.”
“Happy? Is it good to be compared all the time?”
“Isn’t it good to be compared to Yoon Seonwoo? It means being in a position worth comparing.”
“Sigh, stop talking. Everyone in this hospital does nothing but praise Yoon Seonwoo.”
“Cheer up. You seem to be praised everywhere. Trust the director and work diligently without avoiding difficulties.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
Looking at Taekyu, who bowed nearly 90 degrees, Heewon’s lips trembled.
Taking a deep breath, Heewon said, “By the way, I don’t see that nurse.”
“Why does my brother always look for that nurse?”
“She’s cute.”
Suddenly, Taekyu recalled the images of Heewon and Nalim that he glimpsed in his mind. Nalim and Heewon, who were brightly laughing, seemed quite pleased with something. It seemed to happen quite often.
Frowning at the thought of it, Taekyu squinted.
Could my cousin be involved in this? She looks a bit tangled. If she knows about what happened between us for no reason…
With a thought that something had become more complicated, Taekyu narrowed his eyes.
“Did you go to see her again?”
“See who?”
“Yeah, Sunwoo? You always go to see that nurse.”
Why does this young woman see Sunwoo like that? Taekyu, who was grumbling, aimlessly searched through the papers on the station.
“Really… Did you go to see Sunwoo?”
“I don’t know. I’m saying it because I didn’t see her. Not because I’m interested in this nurse, but it seems like my family keeps arranging it. She’s not in such a hurry.”
“How old is this nurse?”
“You didn’t know that either? Wait and see, this nurse… Twenty-seven. She’s the same age as Professor Yoon. Why, are you interested?”
“No.”
“Why are you getting worked up like this? Right, you sometimes stare at this nurse dreamily while spacing out.”
“Me? When?”
“Well, what’s going on? This nurse is not bad—”
“Not at all?”
Asking if it’s a conference paper, without waiting for Heewon’s answer, Taekyu abruptly left his seat.
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.
