After showering, Sun Woo stepped into the living room, gently stretching his neck. Only then did he remember he hadn’t eaten dinner yet, prompted by the hunger pangs from his empty stomach.
Having left the food to gaze at the night view, it was inevitable that he’d be hungry.
He picked up a cookie and plopped down on the sofa, then heaved a deep sigh halfway through opening the package. He thought about how long the day had been.
He deliberately left without looking back, but he felt uneasy thinking about Hye Ji, who must have been sitting alone there.
If what he had seen was right, if what he felt was right, he couldn’t maintain the same relationship with Hye Ji as now.
Why hadn’t he known?
Although he had known her for 13 years, he hadn’t realized her feelings. She had maintained the boundaries too well.
Nevertheless, whenever another emotion flickered across her face, he rationalized it to be similar to his feelings, thinking it couldn’t be.
It was true that he cared for her as a friend, or a colleague, but he had never seen her as anything more. If he had known this would happen, he would have clarified his position a little more.
“Clarify what?”
He had no memory of doing anything right for her.
He prided himself on not having done anything to cause a misunderstanding.
“Should have finished the meal and talked.”
He unnecessarily disturbed people.
Looking up at the clock on the wall, the hands were nearing midnight.
Then suddenly, at the end of the hallway,
he remembered the existence of a woman he had temporarily forgotten.
Had she eaten dinner?
“She must have eaten.”
Recalling the motel room that was not equipped with even basic cooking tools, Sun Woo took big strides towards the room where Eun Jae was.
Then he lightly knocked on the guest room door.
“Ms. Ji Eun Jae, are you not hungry?”
The room was silent. Wondering if she was taking a shower, he turned to look, but the slightly open bathroom door revealed darkness inside. The floor was completely dry, showing no signs of use.
Sun Woo turned his body again and knocked on Eun Jae’s door.
“Have you eaten dinner? You haven’t, right? Do you want to eat something?”
Knock, knock. Even after knocking two or three times, it was quiet beyond the door.
“Are you asleep?”
Out of curiosity, he slowly turned the doorknob and the door opened without resistance. Pushing the door open, Sun Woo saw Eun Jae sleeping in the most uncomfortable position, hugging a robe and a towel. He gave a bitter smile.
Really, when did I start worrying about someone else’s meal?
Standing stiffly at the door, Sun Woo quietly muttered.
“Ms. Ji Eun Jae, please sleep properly. Do you know how much strain it puts on your spine to sleep like that?”
Standing in front of the bed, Sun Woo reached out from a distance and tapped Eun Jae’s shoulder with his finger, but the woman showed no sign of stirring.
“She must be really tired.”
Scratching his brow, Sun Woo turned around and left the room. Before closing the door, he pressed the switch to turn off the light.
Sun Woo, who had carefully closed the door, wavered back and forth for a while in front of the closed door.
Her neck will hurt when she wakes up from sleeping like that.
“What does it matter to me.”
Stop caring. Why are you trying to do something you’ve never done before? What, are you going to help her lie down properly?
Sun Woo, who had returned to his own room in small steps, flopped down on his bed.
He had definitely felt a bit hungry a while ago, but strangely, he wasn’t hungry anymore.
He wasn’t hungry and was extremely tired, but why couldn’t he fall asleep?
Lying on the bed, Sun Woo tossed and turned for a while. The image of the woman sleeping uncomfortably kept floating in his mind.
Sun Woo, who had just finished surgery, was heading towards the station. The nurses around the station bowed their heads towards him.
“Good day, Professor.”
“Good morning.”
As Sun Woo approached the station, the faces of the nurses who had been watching him all changed to the same expression.
Their eyes were about twice as large, and their mouths were wide open.
Unfazed, Sun Woo approached and meticulously looked through the charts of patients he would be seeing that day. Then, a man who seemed to be a colleague from afar asked as he walked up.
“This nurse! What happened to the guy you’re seeing?”
It was Jung Hee Won, a neurosurgeon. Hee Won was Sun Woo’s university classmate and colleague.
“Oh, Professor Yoon is here too?”
“Did he come?”
Sun Woo gave Hee Won a brief greeting and turned his attention back to the chart. Hee Won, leaning on the station, continued to ask the nurse about her romantic interest.
“He was so considerate. The menu was chicken ribs, and do you remember him carelessly handing me the apron? That’s when my heart fluttered. I was wearing a white blouse.”
“Men tend to show as much interest as they have. Men never make such useless gestures towards women they’re not interested in. It’s just instinct. That guy must definitely like this nurse. What about the afterdate request—”
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.
