Delusional Love

Lee Sa-heon, Managing Director of Hyeongang Group, the country's largest defense-industry firm.
The likeliest heir at the center of the succession, he always seizes the upper hand in the bloody power struggle with his half-brothers. He is Ji-an's brilliant boss.

"Managing Director, are you awake? Are you all right?"

When she heard about Sa-heon's car accident, Ji-an felt as if her heart had dropped out from under her.
For a moment her chest clamped down so hard she couldn't even breathe.

"…Honey."

But the man who has just opened his eyes is acting a little strange.

"Pardon? M-Managing Director, I'm Secretary Han Ji-an."
"Honey, my head hurts."

Her perfect boss has lost his memory.
Worse, he has woken up taking her for his lover.

"Don't do something you'll regret tomorrow. Get out."
"…You son of a bitch."

Hah. Sa-heon laughed as if he were lost for words.
Ji-an glared at him, her eyes full of resentment.

"You were the one who said you liked me first. You asked me out."
"…"
"You mistook me for your girlfriend from the very start, all on your own! You told me you thought you'd liked me even before you lost your memory!"

Ji-an cried and beat wildly at his shoulder.
Her heart was torn to shreds and hanging in tatters, and it ached, and there was no stopping it.

"I don't remember that."

His answer was short and firm, and she felt as though the world were caving in.
Her heart gave way completely. Ji-an wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and pleaded in a trembling voice.

"Sa-heon, this is really hard for me… so stop this and come back. Please…."

Sa-heon swept his hair back with a low sigh.
Then he spoke coldly, as if handing down a sentence.

"Think of me as dead."
"…What did you say?"

Ji-an stared at him, unable to believe such cold-blooded words.

"I'm telling you to think of the man called Lee Sa-heon as dead."

A tear dropped from her wavering eyes and ran down her cheek.
It was the moment her last hope snapped clean off.
