My heart sank. I should say something to Jinwoo, but my lips wouldn’t part, as if glued together.
“You know how to go to a club, Nuna?”
Jinwoo, who was staring straight at Jina, twisted his lips. His firm gaze revealed no emotion.
“I don’t want to say such things, but let’s misunderstand.”
“Misunderstand?”
It felt like she became a sinner as if she had cheated on her boyfriend secretly. Jina tightly grasped the edges of her gentle clothes.
“Hygiene didn’t want to spend Christmas alone… Since she doesn’t know about my condition, there’s no excuse to refuse…”
Even though she did nothing wrong, the words got longer for no reason. In an instant, Jinwoo tightly embraced Jina.
“I’m sorry. For leaving you alone.”
In his whisper, Jina realized that he wasn’t angry or misunderstanding.
Thank goodness.
His words brought a sense of relief.
“Now we are together.”
Lowering his head, Jinwoo spoke to Jina.
“Oh? What about your work in the United States?”
“I finished everything and came back.”
“They said it would take a year?”
Even if they worked as fast as possible, it was a project that took a year.
“I did my best. Thinking about Nuna.”
Jinwoo’s eyes softened.
“I didn’t know anything about it…”
Waiting turned into longing. When she felt tired or exhausted, that longing turned into a slightly resentful feeling.
Waiting without a deadline, the life inside her stomach that she had to take responsibility for alone, in a situation where nothing was certain, Jina endured each moment with resilience.
“You’ve been through a lot. Nuna.”
Jinwoo once again hugged Jina tightly. Jinwoo, who had lowered his face to Jina’s neck, stood like that for a long time, as if intoxicated by her scent.
“But earlier, your mother…”
Jina asked cautiously, and Jinwoo looked up.
“She said she came to escort you because she was invited to the wedding.”
“Our first meeting had to be like this…?”
Jina said with a worried expression, tapping her foot.
“She seems very pretty today…”
Knowing everything but pretending not to know, Jinwoo, nonchalantly, said, making Jina bite her lips.
“It seems like a trend these days…”
Jinwoo said with a somewhat serious face.
“Stage 0.”
Glancing at Jinwoo like that, Jina rolled her eyes.
“I’m really serious…”
“Haha, don’t worry. What’s wrong with the club? It’s Christmas Eve; you can go with friends.”
Jinwoo said casually.
“No, I didn’t go.”
Jina said with an indignant look.
“Our baby, did Mom make it difficult for you?”
Jinwoo asked casually, placing his hand on Jina’s belly without any concern.
“Shall we go now?”
“Where to?”
Instead of answering, Jinwoo gently pulled Jina’s shoulder.
“You’ll know when you get there. Fortunately, we’re not late.”
Looking briefly at his wristwatch, Jinwoo smiled.
In front of the hotel lobby, a black limousine that Jinwoo had called was waiting.
“What is this?”
Jina’s eyes widened. Jinwoo, who approached the back seat, opened the door with a gesture reminiscent of a movie.
“Please, Miss.”
Jina smiled at his playfulness and got into the car. After Jinwoo closed the door and sat in the passenger seat, the car started moving slowly.
“Where are we going?”
Even though Jina asked again, Jinwoo didn’t answer. Instead, he held Jina’s hand with a more determined look.
“I want to do things with Nuna that I’ve always wanted to do.”
The feeling was still surreal. Jina still couldn’t believe it. It felt like he was by her side only in a dream.
“I don’t have anything I want to do with you…”
Streetlights beyond the moving car window cast light into the dark car.
At Jina’s words, Jinwoo’s eyebrows slightly raised.
“I’m just happy when you’re by my side.”
To her perfectly sincere words, Jinwoo looked at her quietly.
“I’m okay with doing nothing.”
Jina laughed carefreely. It was so good that he was by her side, so good that laughter kept bubbling up.
“Sigh…”
Jinwoo sighed softly. As if breaking something, Jinwoo’s jaw tightened. With a more determined gaze, he whispered into Jina’s ear.
“If you say that, I can’t resist.”
The voice filled with desire became even thicker.
“Resist.”
Jina playfully said with a mockingly serious expression. She even burst into laughter for a moment.
“I want to see what you’ve planned.”
“Haha.”
Looking at Jina, Jinwoo also chuckled softly as if unable to hold back.
“While I was in the United States for three months, I thought about things I wanted to do with Nuna. If we were together, they would have been ordinary dates.”
Still feeling regretful, Jinwoo gently kissed the back of Jina’s hand.
“It’s okay. There’s plenty of time ahead…”
A tingling sensation spread throughout her body.
“Yes, there is. I’ll never leave Nuna’s side from now on.”
Smiling at Jina, Jinwoo said, “We’ve arrived.”
Upon the driver’s announcement, Jina finally turned her gaze outside the car.
“A yacht?”
At the Han River cruise ship dock, a quite luxurious yacht was prepared.
“Haven’t you ridden a yacht before?”
Jinwoo, who got out of the car first, extended his hand to Jina.
“I’ll pick you up quickly. Miss.”
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.
