I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

19

When Jungkook, dressed in casual clothes, arrived in the dining room, Lalisa did not look at him as she usually did.

This was because Lalisa's mind was now filled with the voice of Cornelia, whom she came across in front of Jungkook's private mansion.

Until he sat down and the attendants served him food, Lalisa only looked at the table in a daze.

"Are you not feeling well again?"

The sudden sound of Jungkook's voice brought her out of her reverie.

Turning her gaze to him, Lalisa shook her head as she looked at him sitting across from her.

"Then why don't you try some?"

At this moment, Lalisa bit her lips with Jungkook's unusually soft voice.

She wanted to remove her heart, which pounded like a habit even in this situation.

She already knew very well that he would divorce her one day. But she was trying to accept it in her own way.

Still, she felt lonely and sad at the same time that he was already planning to leave me. Even though she knew that she didn't deserve that.

After making an effort to change her expression, Lalisa started eating like it was nothing.

Meanwhile, her wounded heart was endlessly quieted.

Before she knew it, early winter was approaching. In the meantime, the garden was repaired and a greenhouse was built in the vacant lot.

Lalisa walked into the greenhouse and stared at the snowflakes dancing through the transparent glass.

"Are you sure you just want to order these?"

Bennett, standing next to her, checked the order list and asked with a questionable face. Lalisa nodded silently.

She was going to fill this greenhouse with nothing but lilies.

There was no deep meaning to it. She just wanted to leave at least one trace of her in this castle.

"Ah, Grand Duke."

As Lalisa turned at Bennett's words, she saw Jungkook entering the greenhouse.

He took a quick step forward and sat down casually on the other side of Lalisa.

Lalisa watched him in silence, but then quietly opened her mouth.

"Are you here to see the greenhouse?"

"No."

"Then..."

Jungkook looked through the window pane without replying. Lalisa carved such a profile into her eyes.

Recently, Jungkook started to be quite gentle with her.

He would casually visit her and sit in silence, or even suggest that they have dinner together once in a while.

Lalisa attributed the reason for his attitude to one last act of kindness on his part.

He was not a man who fit the word kind....but it felt good to think that way.

Lalisa decided to just enjoy the moment.

She didn't want to waste her last moment with him, crying, hurting, and resenting.

"I'm going to plant a lot of lilies in this greenhouse."

"...."

"It's my... my favorite flower."
