Snow ❄️ and Fire 🔥

Part 11 - Flashback

Flashback:

Little Lisa went to visit her favorite place in the palace - The Royal Garden . She loved the place and would visit it almost everyday . That particular day , March 13  , 2005 , when she was four years , turning five in a few more days , she went to visit the garden after she finished her homework and studies . She really loved the fountain in the center and mostly used to go there , that day was no different . She went there but as she was getting closer ( Alexa play Getting Closer by Seventeen 😜😜) to the fountain , she heard some sniffs . 

Lisa was an intelligent girl . Her brain was way more developed than people of her age . So she quietly started moving towards the direction from where the sound was coming . At a hidden corner of the garden , sat a boy around her age with tears streaming down his breath - takingly handsome face . Lisa felt her heart hurt at how pitiful he looked . She went and stood in front of him .

" Hey !! Why are you crying ? Are you hurt ? Did you fall down while playing ? " There seemed no end to her questions as to why the boy in front of her was crying . Hyunjae was startled when he heard a familiar voice . He looked up to see Lisa pouting while looking at him . Lisa sensed his stare and looked into his eyes . Soon after , a bright smile replaced the pout on her face . " Here " she said as she handed him her hanky . But Hyunjae just furrowed his brows and looked away , not really liking her presence .

 Lisa saw this and was shocked - she just wanted him to smile but he ignored her . While looking at his perfectly - sculpted side profile , she suddenly realized that he was no stranger , she had seen him in the palace quiet a few times but have never really spoken because he looked so unapproachable and cold . Thinking about it , she suddenly broke into a fit of small giggles .

Hyunjae was by this time irritated by her . He just glared at her , shooting her some of his famous cold stares . Lisa sensed it and looked down only to be met with such a cold pair of eyes shooting daggers to her . Shivers ran down her spine , but she never gave up easily and nor was she going to do it now . 

She placed her hand under his chin , bringing his face closer to hers so that she could wipe his tears . Sensing her face becoming increasingly closer to his , he harshly held her hand before removing it from under his chin . His grip on her wrist was harsh and tight and it hurt Lisa but she was sometimes very stubborn and she promised she was not going until he let her wipe his tears . 

With the harshness of his grip , tears started lining her eyes but she was still determined . Hyunjae was baffled by her . He never thought that she would be this stubborn and determined . He stood up , dusting his clothes but the grip on her hand never wavered . He looked straight into her eyes before giving her his infamous cold smirk . 

Hyunjae was known to be ruthless and merciless , just like his uncle and that's why he was his uncle's favorite nephew .

He spoke for the first time since they met earlier in an equally chilling voice , " Hey , whoever you are , stay away from me . I don't like you nor do I like your presence . I hate your presence next to me . " Lisa who was never treated like this ever before , felt knives stabbing her heart . The tears which ere lined along her lower lids , finally started flowing down her cheeks . Seeing this , Hyunjae smiled knowing his plan had worked . 

Lisa spoke in a shaky voice " Can y - you please r - repeat the last s - sentence ? " Hyunjae replied it again as her wish . " I  H.A.T.E  Y.O.U.R  P.R.E.S.E.N.C.E . Did you understand it or should I repeat it again ? " Her tears flowed down like no tomorrow . She forcefully removed his grip from her wrist before storming off . While leaving the garden , she looked back him before saying , " Know that even I hate you starting from today ." She went to the palace without turning back even once . 

Hyunjae was left alone again after she left . He was regretful that he spoke to Lisa so harshly , but didn't understand why . He just shrugged and went inside . At night , when everyone was asleep , he was probably the only one awake , still disturbed by the scenario which took place earlier . 

He couldn't sleep no matter what . He carefully went towards his father's chamber . Knocking on the door twice before getting an answer . He peeked inside cautiously before before going inside . " Hyunjae ??!!?? Why are you here son ? Did something happen ? " He addressed his dad monotonously before proceeding to explain everything that happened . His father listened to him without interrupting even once and when he finally finished telling him , he spoke " Ok , so it seems like you feel bad for treating Lisa like that , right ? So should we treat her to something or present her things which she like ? Hmm... ? " 

Hyunjae opted for the latter one and decided to do it the very next day . He wished his father night before returning to his chamber with a light heart . As his father looked at his retreating small frame , a warm smile stretched across his face . He sighed " Why did you change so much Hyunjae ? " he thought before resuming his work and going to bed . 

A small cliff - hanger . He He ~~

So what do you think he's giving to her ? My fingers hurt as it's the longest chapter I've written until now - 1089 words *Sigh*

Anyways , have a good day / night

Love you guys
