Song Director asked Hyuk-ju, who was driving.
“Is it something Madam cherished a lot?”
“Yeah.”
Hyuk-ju nodded.
“I hope you can score some points with that.”
At Song Director’s words, Hyuk-ju let out a short laugh.
“I’ll have to do that, right?”
“Looks good.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Song Director looked at the side profile of the superior who laughed again after hearing his response. It was clearly different from the last time he saw her.
Of course, the situation Hyuk-ju faced then and now was distinctly different, so it was natural for her to have a different expression. However, in Song Director’s eyes, the overall impression of Hyuk-ju seemed completely changed, like a person who had undergone a significant transformation.
If before, she had a cold and distant image, now there was a sense of ease.
“I think I’ve been too harsh.”
While keeping her gaze on the road due to driving, Hyuk-ju spoke calmly in a low voice.
“And also arrogant. I thought Eun-su would be by my side for the rest of my life.”
With a mumbled sound like “Um,” Song Director slowly lowered his head. Then, Hyuk-ju smirked and said.
“I get it. I was arrogant.”
“I’m relieved that Madam has a broad mind.”
“Not really.”
“You can say that; I’m not good at saying empty words.”
“That’s your problem.”
At Hyuk-ju’s unexpected remark, Song Director blinked his eyes in surprise.
Turning the steering wheel on the way to the gimbap restaurant, Hyuk-ju continued speaking.
“Sometimes say empty words. If you keep telling the same old story, how will you attract any woman?”
“Didn’t you promise not to interfere with my personal life?”
“I’m thinking of trying it now.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“Okay, forget it. Wait a moment.”
After parking the car in the parking lot, Hyuk-ju went into the gimbap restaurant.
After packing the gimbap, Hyuk-ju looked at Song Director sitting in the passenger seat.
Song Director also had no interests or thoughts other than work, like herself.
Maybe that’s why her past self got along well with Song Director. But now that she had changed, it was time for Song Director to change as well.
Where to start, she didn’t know.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Hyuk-ju handed the shopping bag with gimbap to Song Director.
“Let’s eat dinner together.”
“I, you know I don’t like gimbap.”
“Didn’t we decide to stay at the resort from now on? It’s better to eat together than to go in alone.”
“I don’t want to make Madam uncomfortable.”
“Eun-su won’t feel uncomfortable.”
Hyuk-ju deliberately mentioned Eun-su’s name in case Song Director refused again.
As expected, Song Director soon nodded, understanding.
Arriving in front of the house, Hyuk-ju was about to take out the box from the back seat but stopped. It seemed better to hand it over like a gift when they were alone, rather than in front of people.
That way, Hyuk-ju could fully capture Eun-su’s delighted face in her eyes.
“Do you know that we’re living with Bugumhwa Yeosadan, who used to be Eun-su’s caretaker?”
“Oh, is that the lady you call Sangju?”
“Yeah. And today, Eun-su’s friend is here. She’s staying for a week because she has to move.”
“…I’m worried that I might be causing trouble.”
“Behave well so you won’t cause any trouble. That should do.”
Hyuk-ju patted Song Director’s shoulder with her hand as if coaxing him and entered the house first.
Before arriving home, she had already informed Eun-su that she would bring Song Director. Therefore, as soon as the door opened, as if the three people had been waiting for Song Director all along, they greeted him warmly.
“Welcome!”
“Song Director, thank you for coming.”
“Welcome to Jeju!”
Sangju, Eun-su, and Saetbyeol.
In response to the continuous greetings, Song Director was slightly embarrassed at first, then quickly lowered his head and greeted them.
“Hello.”
Hoping that Song Director would score points with Saetbyeol, Hyuk-ju lightly touched Song Director’s elbow with her hand. In response, Song Director turned his head as if to ask why he was doing that.
He used to be quick-witted at work, but at times like this, he seemed like a completely different person, somewhat awkward.
From the moment she got home, Hyuk-ju had hoped that Song Director would score points with Saetbyeol. Saetbyeol, who attended graduate school, would have a wide network, so if she could give the impression that he was a good person, she might have the chance for a blind date.
But starting with the first greeting, he appeared blunt.
Hyuk-ju had to sigh inwardly.
“Because Hyuk-ju said she’s bringing gimbap, we’re going to eat ramen together. Song Director doesn’t like gimbap, right?”
“Oh, um….”
“We’ve prepared a separate meal. You can have that.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No.”
Eun-su said, raising both hands.
As she tried to go into the kitchen, Sangju picked up her coat lying on the sofa.
“I’ll go to the neighbor’s house for a moment.”
“Mrs. Geumhwa, if you keep going like this, I’ll report you to the police.”
“Try saying that, Saetbyeol. If you disturb a healthy hobby in that way, you won’t get to use it.”
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.
