After finishing the laser treatment, Chaewon returned to her seat and looked up at the sound of a knock.
Nurse Oh peeked in.
“Dr. Kim, the 2 p.m. appointment with Han Jisook has been rescheduled.”
Sitting down, Chaewon looked perplexed and asked, “For when?”
“Next week.”
“That won’t work….”
Chaewon pondered, then looked up at Nurse Oh.
“I’ll make a call. And could you update the list with all the changes for this week’s appointments and send it to me?”
“Sure, I’ll let Yeonseo know right away.”
“Thanks.”
Nurse Oh, about to leave, stood with a strange expression.
“What’s up?”
“It’s not that, Dr. Kim. You know about our hospital dinner tomorrow evening, right?”
“Oh.”
Chaewon had started to dread these dinners.
It seemed everyone hired loved drinking excessively, and their level of fun was hard to handle.
She tried switching to lunch gatherings, but the staff strongly opposed, saying it didn’t leave enough time for conversation.
“Yes, I’m aware.”
With excuses, she had been delaying these dinners from monthly to quarterly and then just once or twice a year.
Knowing the staff would be displeased if she missed or postponed this eagerly awaited event, she planned to show up and leave early.
“You’re not planning to postpone it or not attend, right?”
“I won’t cause trouble, don’t worry.”
“Okay. Since it’s also close to vacation, we had a hard time scheduling it, so please make time for this dinner, Dr. Kim.”
Nurse Oh repeated her request several times before leaving.
Chaewon realized her vacation was approaching and suddenly thought of the plans she had made with him.
‘Spend a day with me.’
His expression and tone didn’t hint at any ulterior motives.
That’s why she agreed readily, but now she kept thinking about yesterday’s incident.
“…Yesterday, I misunderstood.”
Remembering his whisper that she mistook for a kiss, her ears tingled.
His bold actions of offering his shoulder and holding her head, and the look in his eyes when they met again, were hard to forget.
It was just a whisper in a movie theater, and he offered his shoulder because she was sleepy, but the more she thought about it, the more her heart fluttered.
“It feels like a dangerous virus has infiltrated.”
Staring into space with a serious expression, Chaewon pressed her lips together and murmured as if making a resolution.
“There’s no way, right, heart? You’re not that easy, are you?”
As she nodded ‘yes’ to herself, Heeju’s phone vibrated with a message.
[Let’s meet today. Jaemin ]Chaewon replied with an expressionless face.
Thunk. She set the phone down, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her arms.
He must feel like he left without wiping properly.
He was quite clumsy yesterday.
“How predictable.”
Whether Jaemin’s heart is as malleable as she anticipates is something she intends to find out.
Once moved, a heart can surely be moved again, she thinks.
And somehow, it doesn’t seem too difficult.
Sitting in a cafe in the bustling city center, Jaemin tapped his foot and looked around.
“When is she coming?”
He tried to deny and make excuses yesterday, but he felt awkward, as if his nervousness was apparent.
“Who is this friend who said they saw me and where are they staying? Today, I need to question and take an aggressive stance.”
It was necessary to eliminate any doubt about himself.
“I shouldn’t leave any unnecessary sparks.”
Jaemin, who had been slurping his coffee, stopped as his gaze fell on a woman visible from the window.
His mouth fell open slowly.
“… Kim Heeju?”
She wore tight skinny jeans with a white blouse revealing her shoulders, holding a red clutch bag, her long hair flowing. She usually preferred oversized t-shirts, training pants, or loose elastic skirts.
Before their marriage, she enjoyed decorating the house or cooking more than dressing up, always smiling with a gentle expression.
Although trying to change her style as a form of rebellion against the divorce, there’s a limit.
“Why is Kim Heeju like that?”
… She looked pretty.
Despite the crowd outside, Jaemin’s eyes were fixated on his wife.
Rubbing his eyes to regain focus, he realized he wasn’t the only man looking at her.
As she disappeared from the window view, Jaemin’s head automatically turned towards the cafe’s entrance.
“Welcome.”
With the employee’s greeting, Chaewon entered.
Chaewon, holding her bag up to her waist, turned as her eyes met his.
Captivated by her every move, Jaemin soon faced his wife sitting in front of him and held his breath.
“You’re not late. Have you been waiting long?”
Regaining his composure at Chaewon’s question, he managed a neutral expression.
“No, not really.”
Chaewon, putting down her bag, swept her hair with her fingertips.
Jaemin, staring at her, soon adopted a serious look.
“You’ve really changed a lot lately?”
He knew she was trying something new to rekindle their relationship, but he didn’t expect such a drastic change.
Her shoulders, usually stooped, were now confidently upright.
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.
