Eun Jae, who had found the deluge of greetings while accompanying the man just as uncomfortable as last time, asked to be dropped off first as the hospital neared.
“Please drop me off here.”
Sun Woo readily let Eun Jae out without asking any questions. Eun Jae watched his car slowly shrink in the distance before she entered the hospital entrance.
While waiting for the elevator in front of the lobby, Eun Jae looked down at her burning heels.
The shopper she visited today insisted she try them on, but she stubbornly refused, saying it was fine. As a result, her heels were sore in that short time due to the shoes that came out too big despite being the same size.
Eun Jae’s steps towards the patient room felt like a million pounds. She couldn’t speed up at all. She hadn’t given it any thought, and suddenly facing it made her mind go blank.
Could she tell her mother the whole fabricated story without changing her expression once? Could she not be caught?
“Weren’t you going to tell my mother?”
Yes, she didn’t want to! Could you say it if you were me? Shouldn’t you tell me something like this in advance?
“Anyway, everyone does as they please.”
Yet, she had no strength to voice her own opinion.
Eun Jae, who had been grumbling in front of Mi Ran’s patient room for quite a while, seemed to have made up her mind, taking a deep breath in and out.
Just as she was about to put her hand on the door handle of the patient’s room, a large hand gently climbed up her shoulder and held it softly.
Startled, Eun Jae turned around to see Sun Woo, who had since parked and come up, looking down at her with a slight smile.
‘He came up quickly.’
Despite the man’s faint smile, her face responded quickly. Feeling the heat on her cheeks, Eun Jae quickly turned her head to hide them.
It felt like a waste of time to even deny that she was beginning to develop feelings for the man.
Please let it just be a crush.
Hoping it wouldn’t go any deeper than this.
“Stop unnecessary physical contact.”
Eun Jae, who was looking up at Sun Woo, seemed to be trying to hide her unsettled emotions, narrowing her brow.
While watching Eun Jae twist her shoulder to push his hand away, Sun Woo, who raised the corners of his mouth diagonally, pressed his index finger against Eun Jae’s forehead and whispered quietly.
“Relax your face. How can you get permission like this?”
“I told you to stop unnecessary physical contact.”
“You said to trust, but I can’t.”
“I never said that.”
All I did was nod my head to your words asking if you could trust me.
“Let’s go in for now.”
As Sun Woo moved ahead of Eun Jae to open the door of the patient room, Eun Jae quickly grabbed his hand. Eun Jae, looking up at him with wide eyes pleading, was slowly reflected in Sun Woo’s pupils.
“Wa, wait a moment. It’s so sudden that I don’t even know what to explain right now……”
“You’ve practiced.”
Yes, she had, practiced.
Before going to the man’s house to say hello tomorrow, they had synchronized their words by summarizing the precautions and basic things that would be asked in advance. For instance, where they first met, how long they have been dating, etc.
“Is this the same as that?”
“Why is it different?”
“My mother is just as sharp as your grandfather. She’s the type of person who can tell whether something is true or false with a single look into my eyes.”
Eun Jae explained, citing a trivial lie she told her mother when she was a child. Sun Woo, who had been listening to Eun Jae’s explanation with an impassive expression, suddenly dropped his gaze to meet Eun Jae’s.
When Eun Jae locked eyes with Sun Woo, her previously chattering mouth snapped shut.
“If you can’t do it, let’s just go.”
“Yes… I guess today’s not the day. I’m not fully prepared, and…”
“Okay.”
As always, Eun Jae was uneasy at his incongruous agreement and looked up at Sun Woo with trembling eyes.
“Let’s start by packing Ms. Ji Eun Jae’s stuff when we get home.”
Eun Jae followed Sun Woo as he moved briskly in the opposite direction and asked.
“Why should I pack?”
“Cancel the contract, pay double the contract money. It’s easier to pretend it never happened, isn’t it? You wouldn’t have to lie.”
“Excuse me…?”
“I can look for someone else.”
As Sun Woo, who spoke nonchalantly and paused momentarily, started walking again, Eun Jae quickly blocked his path.
“Woah, you talk so lightly because it’s someone else’s problem?”
“Because it’s someone else’s problem.”
Didn’t you say we were a couple before? Eun Jae glared at Sun Woo with wide, surprised eyes.
“Sheesh…”
“It’s not Lee, it’s Yoon.”
Why are you changing the family name as you wish? Frustrated by Sun Woo’s endless wordplay, Eun Jae glared at him with narrowed eyes. Sun Woo simply looked straight at Eun Jae, tilting his head as if he had done nothing wrong.
“Article 3, if damage is caused to party B due to party A’s fault, party B may request a refund of the incurred expenses paid to party A―”
Sun Woo’s lips, which had been speaking, slowly descended and touched Eun Jae’s ear.
“Party A shall return this amount, converted to double.”
“……”
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.
