At the suggestion to go to sleep, and even the offer of a room, Eunsoo was taken aback. On the other hand, Juhan accepted it casually.
“Again with that. If you’re going to sleep, you’ll probably bring out the alcohol right away. We have to go to work tomorrow.”
“Boring guy.”
Hwang, squinting at Juhan, waved his hand.
“Enough, you. I can’t drink today anyway. Since the day before yesterday, I haven’t been feeling well for some reason.”
That’s why, even though he smiled while clashing cookies and bread brought by me and Eunsoo earlier, he put them aside, saying he’ll eat them later. Juhan’s eyes seemed worried.
“Have you been to the hospital?”
“I would have taken medicine sooner. It’s just a bit of a cold, that’s all.”
Still, Eunsoo looked at him with worried eyes. Hwang seemed fine, smiled as if saying it was okay, and made a phone call somewhere.
“This guy won’t take it. Since my house is right below, I’ll go and see him. Don’t worry and just sit for now.”
Before I could say anything, Hwang went outside through the front door, and only Juhan, Eunsoo, Park PD, and Assistant Director remained in the house.
Assistant Director Park, who had been sitting a little apart, approached Juhan and Eunsoo, who were sitting awkwardly on the edge of the floor.
“Can we do just one interview using this opportunity?”
“Oh, yes.”
Juhan and Eunsoo, who had been sitting a little apart, straightened their backs and approached a little. Assistant Director Park adjusted the camera position and carefully brought up the conversation.
“Um… You don’t have to answer if you’re uncomfortable. You mentioned that you broke up in the middle. Could we hear a little bit about that?”
I didn’t expect to receive this question suddenly and here. Eunsoo and Juhan’s eyes met.
The time of the two turned back to the same day and place.
It was an evening when the faint smell of the end of winter mixed with the beginning of the flower bud that had just started to bloom.
Somewhere, the sound of children who had come out with their parents laughing and chatting, and not far away, boys who looked like high school students were playing basketball intensely.
On a spring night that was just floating in the air, the bench where Juhan and Eunsoo were sitting was quiet and heavy like a different world.
‘We… it was better when we were friends.’
On that day, in that place, Eunsoo uttered the words that had been buried under his tongue for a long time.
‘What are you suddenly talking about? What does that mean?’
“It means let’s stop, dating.”
The affluent house, a capable mother, a position that had been secured before graduation, and a guaranteed future.
The more Eunsoo realized what Juhan had, the more a strange distance grew in his heart. He felt unnecessary inferiority and a sense of inadequacy.
He tried hard to get rid of it, but it wasn’t easy.
Whenever he remembered that he couldn’t confidently answer any of the questions Juhan’s mother subtly threw at him, he felt like he was folding and crumpling. Such emotions accumulated and became toxic.
Eunsoo was the first to escape from the past memories.
“Just… It seems like we’ve been arguing little by little since we met over three years ago. At the time of transitioning from student to a working adult… I think part of it was due to not adapting well and becoming sensitive.”
Juhan’s gaze could be felt, but Eunsoo didn’t turn around.
“Because we were younger then, expressions were clumsy… After some time passed and I thought about it, it might not have been as serious of a problem as I felt back then. So, naturally, we met again.”
Eunsoo, who carefully chose her words and finished speaking, smiled at the camera. Juhan quietly observed Eunsoo’s profile.
‘No, I can’t. No matter what you say, I won’t understand. For what reason, no, for any reason, how can you and I become someone else?’
Being someone who knows Eunsoo better than anyone else in the world was Juhan’s pride and happiness.
But for that moment, he disliked that fact. He knew what kind of look Eunsoo had when he made up his mind, that no matter what he said, it would be useless, and that it was almost like a finished story.
‘Are you enduring staying in Korea because of that Eunsoo girl?’
Before breaking up with Eunsoo, his mother had said such a thing.
‘If it’s that much, how about getting married and going together? I think you should have a relationship strong enough to influence your future to some extent. On the contrary, if it’s not that much, I mean, boldly tidy up.’
Although the words were not convincing and he didn’t respond properly, strangely, they wouldn’t be erased from his mind. Then, when he brought up the marriage story to Eunsoo as a joke, Eunsoo made a face he had never seen before.
Embarrassed and seemingly apologetic eyes.
His heart grew cold. It felt like confirming some thoughts that had been repeated and erased from his mind.
It was natural for Eunsoo to be in his future, but it occurred to him that maybe Eunsoo wouldn’t be.
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.
