“The couples we filmed yesterday had lots of couple items like rings, necklaces, phone cases, etc.”
“Oh, we…….”
As Eunsoo hesitated, Juhan responded.
“We do have couple rings, but I actually lost mine last month. So, we plan to get new ones soon.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Park PD, who had appeared beside them at some point, brightened up.
“Then, how about we include a segment of you two getting new couple rings in the filming? It’d be fun to have a variety of situations. What do you think?”
“That’s…….”
“It could bring out a romantic and tingling episode, right? And a jewelry shop would make a beautiful background. Sounds great, doesn’t it?”
Park PD and the other staff members nodded in agreement, making it really hard to say ‘no’ in such an atmosphere.
“Yeah, okay…. We’ll do it.”
Juhan answered with a forced smile, and Eunsoo reluctantly followed suit.
After changing clothes and exchanging farewells with the promise to see each other at Vida on the first day of shooting, they left the studio. Eunsoo poked Juhan’s side.
“You should’ve just said we don’t have things like couple rings! You could’ve said you can’t wear rings because of your work.”
“Oh……!”
Juhan’s expression, as if he hadn’t thought of that at all, made Eunsoo sigh.
“What are we going to do now?”
“What else can we do? We’ll just go and buy them. I was worried about what else we’d have to do besides work during the shoot, but this solves it. I’ll buy it.”
“…….”
Eunsoo stared at Juhan’s profile for a while and then silently turned her head away. Something twisted inside her.
They never had couple rings, even when they were actually dating. Around their first anniversary, Juhan had casually brought it up, but Eunsoo postponed it, wanting to buy them together when she was more financially stable. She didn’t feel comfortable accepting it from Juhan either, so she avoided it. Then, the timing never aligned, and they ended up not getting them.
The last time they talked about rings was a few months before breaking up, amidst a heated argument.
Juhan was dealing with unspeakable stress working at his mother’s company, and Eunsoo was extremely sensitive due to her struggles with permanent employment.
When Juhan came to pick up Eunsoo after a company dinner, one of her male colleagues made a stupid comment about not knowing Eunsoo had a boyfriend because she didn’t wear a ring.
“I know you wouldn’t have given him a chance. I’m not blaming you. It’s the situation that’s infuriating! If you had just worn a ring, he would have backed off long ago.”
“Why are you turning this into a ring issue? Is this really about me not wearing a ring?”
“It’s not just about that. We’ve been together for over three years. But people still say they didn’t know you had a boyfriend. I just feel like……”
“We’ve been together for three years. And now you’re making a fuss over a ring?”
“……A ring? Is that necessary? You should have just said no from the beginning.”
“When did I say no?”
“You didn’t say it. I just felt it. Maybe you never really…… No, forget it.”
If I knew it would come to this, I should have just agreed to it back then. What was the point of arguing so fiercely over such a trivial thing?
Eunsoo quickened her pace, passing Juhan.
“Yeah, you buy it. I’ll use it and return it, and you can do whatever with it later.”
Eunsoo’s voice had noticeably cooled compared to before. Juhan’s eyes widened slightly, noticing the change.
“Seon Eunsoo.”
E
“I was just going to gloss it over, but it turned into a big deal. I can’t admit that I got a little excited thinking it might not be so bad after all. And that I casually said it to hide that feeling.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Eunsoo gently withdrew her hand and smiled.
“It’s just a concept and a prop, let’s not give it too much meaning. If we have to do it, we’ll just do it.”
A slight tension appeared between Juhan’s eyebrows. He felt a heaviness in his chest, an old wound seeming to reopen.
Juhan took a shallow breath and reached for Eunsoo’s hand again. Looking into her wide eyes, he lied again.
“The staff from earlier are over there. Let’s hold hands until the parking lot.”
Eunsoo silently relaxed her hand in his.
At that time, Yoonbin was also at the broadcasting station. Wearing a cap that half-concealed his slightly tired face, he stopped walking through the lobby when his manager pointed out something.
“Isn’t that Eunsoo over there?”
Yoonbin turned his head slightly at his manager’s pointing.
“……Looks like it.”
Juhan and Eunsoo were standing hand in hand, seemingly in conversation.
“She’s here for the broadcasting station? Oh, she’s appearing on a program with that furniture shop owner.”
“How did you know?”
Yoonbin’s response was a bit cold, but the manager didn’t notice.
“I heard it when I was driving you to your house. The schedule’s a bit tight, but do you want to greet her?”
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.
