Best white and black openings to onetrick as a beginner?

Hi everyone, im currently trying to learn chess (200 elo) and have been watching some content on youtube and have noticed people talk alot about certain openings and to be honest ive been trying to avoid memorizing because I hate memorizing but I think it would be best if I have a reliable opening for white opening and black defense just so I can learn the game properly because right now im just making alot of accidental blunders and hanging pieces

If you have suggestions for openings on both sides for learning the game and ideally is also versatile and can be taken to higher elos, I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks
