“Yeah, I lived without knowing anything. But back then, I really felt like I was going to die. Living without memories made it easier.”
It was true. Living without knowing anything about Minhyuk, she didn’t cry every day, lose her appetite, or suffer.
However, when she tried to recall the past before meeting Minhyuk, her chest would tighten, and she felt uncomfortable. She only realized now that it was because her memories didn’t completely disappear.
“By the way, it must have been surprising. When you returned to Korea and met me, I didn’t know anything.”
“I was surprised, to be honest.”
“Chan, why didn’t you tell me? You could have just told me. You could have said to pull myself together.”
When he returned to Korea and met her, how did Chan see her when she didn’t know anything? He observed her like he was prying, but he didn’t seem very surprised.
Perhaps Chan was so good at managing his expressions.
Usually, if the people close to oneself don’t remember the time spent together, it would be surprising or sad. However, Chan showed no signs of that.
Chan noticed that Dahyun had visibly lost weight since the last time he saw her, but her complexion brightened as soon as she shed the pounds. Dark shadows under her eyes and dry, cracked lips suggested she hadn’t been sleeping well. If he hadn’t come, she would have been left alone in distress.
Chan recalled Dahyun, who used to brightly smile in the cafe before. He remembered her shy face as she laughed, cheeks flushed, announcing her marriage to Minhyuk. Yes, she was as happy as she was back then when Minhyuk sincerely liked her.
So, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything.
“Why should I tell you when you look happy?”
“…”
“You forgot, so I let you continue to forget.”
Chan said indifferently, reminiscing about Dahyun, who used to happily jump around in joy. He couldn’t ask what was so good about that darn kid. He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable by ruining her happiness.
Although he hadn’t known Dahyun as long as Minhyuk had, time wasn’t crucial when it came to where people’s hearts leaned.
Well, now he simply wished for her happiness.
He didn’t want to see her leave the house and suffer like before.
Chan’s gaze darkened.
Dahyun lost her words at Chan’s remark that she seemed happy.
A beep sounded in her head.
I was happy.
Not knowing anything, she willingly received Minhyuk’s love.
“…Yeah, I was genuinely happy not knowing anything.”
Dahyun also smiled bitterly as she recalled her appearance. Her nose felt chilly and numb.
She was delighted, thinking she would spend her future with Minhyuk, not knowing that Kim Yoonhee had given birth to his child.
“By the way, what are you going to do now? Did you leave home on purpose? Are you going to stay away?”
Dahyun picked up the handle of a water glass on the table. She was thirsty. She couldn’t easily answer Chan’s question.
“There’s a child in my stomach.”
Chan’s gaze was drawn to Dahyun’s belly as she raised the water glass.
A child. It was the cause and result that finally made him give up his unrequited love.
“…I’m thinking of raising it alone.”
“What?”
Chan, who had shown little expression until now, raised his eyebrows and blinked when Dahyun mentioned raising the child alone.
“Is it complicated?”
“Are you divorcing because your memory came back? Planning to deceive me and marry again?”
As expected, Chan straightforwardly asked instead of beating around the bush.
“No. There is deception, but more than that.”
Dahyun sniffled once and then mumbled hesitantly.
It was very awkward. If she explained the truth, she felt like she would appear too pathetic. She had shown a pitiful sight to Chan in the past, and she couldn’t repeat it now.
As Dahyun rolled her eyes around in embarrassment, Chan sighed and raised his head when she awkwardly mumbled the end of her words.
“Never mind. Don’t say it if it’s awkward.”
“Sorry.”
When she apologized sincerely, Chan burst into a wry smile. Anyway, she apologized well.
“Do you remember what you said to me before?”
“What did I say?”
Looking at her innocent eyes in a naive face, Chan felt a slight regret.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t become a complete bastard. He had no interest in others, but he knew how to maintain his dignity, and he had exceptional respect for humanity.
As it turns out, he couldn’t be a complete bastard. He had no interest in others, but he knew how to maintain his dignity, and he had exceptional respect for humanity.
Chan, as Dahyun’s friend, wished for her happiness and a path filled with flowers.
“You mentioned that Kang Minhyuk has an important woman, right?”
Her calm eyes trembled significantly. The gentle waves surged violently with a strong wind and then calmed down again.
“Do you remember that?”
Dahyun felt once again that Chan had an impressive memory. Even though two years had passed, Chan remembered every detail.
“Unlike others, my memory is intact.”
Dahyun looked at Chan as if he were amazing, but then her mouth curved downward, and a sad expression appeared.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Could it be that you’re still around your husband? Is that why you packed your bags and left?”
This time, Chan cautiously brought up the topic. Even if she regained her memory, it didn’t seem like she left just because she felt deceived.
She was pregnant, and leaving with her bags packed, planning to raise the child alone, indicated there was a significant problem with Minhyuk.
A woman issue.
Dahyun stopped breathing at Chan’s sharp observation, as if her heart had been stabbed.
Not missing her stiffening, Chan’s face quickly hardened.
Ding-dong
The bell rang. Dahyun turned her head toward the intercom screen at the sound. However, the intercom screen was not clearly visible from the direction she was sitting.
“Chan, someone is here. Shouldn’t we check who it is?”
“Leave it. No need to bother.”
Without bothering to find out who rang the doorbell, his face remained cold and unmoved.
Ding-dong Ding-dong Ding-dong Ding-dong
The bell continued to ring incessantly, but Chan didn’t even flinch.
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.
