Giving up on holding on, So Yeon took a deep sigh and slumped down on the sofa. Whatever the reason for her fear, it now seemed like a destiny she couldn’t refuse.
But no matter how soft the sofa was, it was undoubtedly a bed of thorns for So Yeon. Just being in the same space with Tae Seo Jun was chaos in itself.
“Really, this doesn’t seem right. It was just a brief skinship at most, it’s strange to consider it as material for a transaction. It was too sudden, I can’t think of anything.”
“Then, while you’re sitting, take some time to think. If you think carefully, you should be able to come up with something.”
“Well, what could it be.”
“That’s what I’m curious about too. What you’ll want.”
He did as he said and thought about it. But no matter how much she racked her brain, nothing came to mind. The scene of her kissing Tae Seo Jun kept replaying in her mind.
“Honestly, what did I do. I don’t think you need to feel burdened.”
For her unsettled heart, leaving this place quickly was her top priority. So Yeon rose from her seat.
“I’m really okay, so it would be best if I leave now……”
“If you leave now, I might be in a bit of trouble.”
With a polite gesture, Seo Jun sat So Yeon back down on the sofa and persuaded her in a more calm tone.
“Ah…… I didn’t think of that.”
If she rashly left the hotel, she might catch that woman’s eye. So Yeon, who just realized the deep intention behind his bringing her here, conceded with a wry smile and a small voice that she had been shortsighted.
“So, do you want me to stay in this room a little longer?”
“If possible, I’d like your help with that too.”
“Since I’ve already helped you, I’ll stay a little longer. I have at least that much loyalty.”
Seo Jun made his request flexibly without pressuring, and So Yeon accepted his second request.
“You must have been flustered today. Thank you. I will definitely repay you. Would you like to have a drink?”
“Should I?”
The interior of the suite, complete with a spacious reception room and two bedrooms, was quite large. As So Yeon looked around the luxurious interior, Seo Jun asked.
“Your name is.”
“It’s Eom So Yeon.”
They finally exchanged basic introductions. After they kissed. Because he abruptly made a request, and she abruptly helped him, they developed a sense of camaraderie.
As So Yeon and Seo Jun made eye contact, they both snickered and laughed.
It was a smile filled with excitement.
Seo Jun, who took out a wine from the minibar in the dining space, took off his coat and glanced at So Yeon, who was coming toward him.
“Take it off too.”
So Yeon, who was about to sit at the dining table with simple food, stopped moving with a stunned face. His words were too blatant.
“Huh? What……”
His eyebrows and lips twisted. It was a sarcastic laugh as if saying how could that be.
“I’m talking about your long boots. It must be quite uncomfortable if you’ve been wearing them for a long time.”
“Ah……”
I was thinking something else.
So Yeon, whose face crossed embarrassment and relief from her startled expression, changed into the slippers Seo Jun handed her after taking off her boots.
Sitting across from Seo Jun with the dining table in between, So Yeon felt that the current situation was surreal.
But the lingering sensation of her first kiss on her lips was not. A man who could only exist in an impossible reality. The fact that she had kissed Tae Seo Jun was still proven by her lips that hadn’t cooled down yet and her heart beating rapidly.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by this fact, So Yeon took a sip of wine. However, she couldn’t shake off the touch of his lips in her head.
Why were his lips trembling? What was with that moist gaze, steeped in sorrow? Was it the pain of a heartbreak? Even though he had broken up with her, his heart didn’t want to let go? Was he trying to seem indifferent to prevent his pain from escalating, but actually, he was suffering to the point of endurance?
At the moment his lips touched hers, So Yeon strangely felt all of these emotions and wanted to comfort his sadness, even if just a little.
Even if it was just for an hour or two, she was more than willing.
The dim lighting of the chandelier and the indirect lighting accentuated the atmosphere of the winter night. Furthermore, this was a hotel room, a place that couldn’t help but be stimulating. Being alone in such an environment was the perfect condition to awaken even nonexistent desires.
Despite the somewhat chilly indoor air, as the time of sipping alcohol went on, the heated Seo Jun unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, undid the cufflinks, and rolled up his sleeves.
So Yeon suddenly felt like she had been watching him too intently, even his trivial wrist movements, as if he were a scene in a movie, and embarrassingly turned her gaze away while fiddling with her necklace.
The large painting hung on the wall was an erotic masterpiece, imbued with a golden hue that added an air of mystery.
So Yeon cautiously parted her lips that had been closed.
“Is that piece genuine?”
“Do you think it would be in an Austrian palace?”
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.
