I raised the corners of my mouth, pretending to be nonchalant.
“Well, anyway, that’s enough about that. I have something else I want to talk about.”
“What is it?”
I paused for a moment and then spoke.
“Do you happen to know where Yubin went?”
At my words, Ji Seunghyun hesitated.
“…What?”
“Yubin, I mean. Somehow, I thought you might know. You two were quite close.”
Ji Seunghyun made a bitter expression.
“That’s true.”
The past tense really bothers me.
I continued my words.
“I made a promise to Yuhwa. I said I would help Yubin find whatever she’s looking for. But even after searching, there are no clues.”
In reality, Seol Yubin vanished as if she evaporated.
Seol Yuhwa claimed she even searched the house where Seol Yubin used to live, but there were no significant clues there either.
For that reason, Ji Seunghyun right in front of me was the chosen one.
“So, by any chance, did Yubin leave a letter for you?”
“A letter?”
Ji Seunghyun tilted his head with curiosity.
“She gave me a letter before leaving. So, I thought she might have given you one too.”
However, Ji Seunghyun seemed completely clueless.
“It seems Yubin didn’t leave a letter for me.”
Though he appeared to be okay, Ji Seunghyun’s words carried an unmistakable bitterness.
“Well… there’s nothing we can do about it.”
I felt a slight disappointment as I had secretly hoped otherwise. I threw another question I had prepared.
“Then, is there any place Yubin mentioned wanting to go to? Like for a trip.”
“Well… I don’t know. Recently, she didn’t talk much about that kind of thing.”
“How about when she was younger? Why, she could have had a place she wanted to visit since childhood.”
It seemed he didn’t have any specific knowledge about that either.
Ji Seunghyun looked embarrassed.
“Sorry. I want to help, but I don’t know anything.”
“No, it’s okay. I came to you because I don’t know anything either.”
I sighed.
“Well then, if you happen to remember anything later, let me know. You can tell Yuhwa directly, too.”
“Yeah, got it.”
After finishing the business, there wasn’t much else to say. I asked Ji Seunghyun if he had received a health checkup, thinking of it while sipping coffee. The reply came back that he hadn’t done it yet. I pleaded with him to please get it done.
Darn it. Happy endings are quite challenging.
“Goodbye, see you later.”
“Yeah, take care.”
That’s how I parted ways with Ji Seunghyun.
“In the end, there was no gain.”
I thought Seol Yubin would have left some contact with Ji Seunghyun. I didn’t expect even a small clue.
“Well, there’s no way things would be resolved so easily. Let’s just go home.”
I headed to catch the bus.
“By the way, I never expected the rain to continue until now.”
Back when I went to school, I thought it would stop by the time I got home.
Even after talking with Ji Seunghyun, it’s like this.
The only relief is that the raindrops seem to have weakened. It was intense enough in the morning that without an umbrella, you couldn’t walk through it. Now, it seemed fine to walk without any problems. They call this light rain, huh?
However, it doesn’t mean I won’t use an umbrella when I have one.
I opened the umbrella. As I took a step forward, raindrops pattered onto the umbrella.
I waited about 5 minutes at the bus stop and then boarded the bus.
Perhaps because of the rain, the atmosphere inside the bus felt damp. It might be just my mood, though.
After a few stops, we finally arrived at my neighborhood.
“I want to get home quickly.”
Personally, I don’t like rainy days. I dislike the humid feeling due to the rain. The gloomy atmosphere isn’t great either.
I hastened my steps, using the umbrella.
“What should I do today?”
As I spent time every day with Samdaebowi, Yoohee, and others, a weekend alone felt awkward. It seemed a bit empty…
Thinking back to when I first transmigrated, it was an immense change, especially considering I used to eagerly await weekends. Whether it was a positive change or not, I’m not sure.
“Ah, almost there.”
Now, if I turn this corner, I’ll be home. I increased my pace.
That’s when it happened.
Something grabbed my shoulder abruptly.
“Aaaah!”
Startled, I screamed.
A large shadow fell behind me. Without even properly seeing who it was, I let out a scream.
“Kyah!”
I leaped and pushed the man away as if I were crazy.
In the process, I might have hit the man’s torso a few times, but I didn’t bother to pay attention to that.
“Crazy, what is this!”
My heart raced. I felt like I was about to cry and swung my umbrella.
“Go away!”
“Ack! Ugh! Crazy! Ju Eun!”
Huh?
“Stop it! It’s me! It’s me!”
A familiar voice.
I dropped the umbrella I was swinging uncontrollably and blinked.
Only then could I confirm the man’s face.
The assailant who touched me turned out to be none other than Seong Jichan. He grimaced, clutching the place I had hit.
“It hurts like crazy.”
The identity of the intruder who touched me was none other than Seong Jichan.
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.
