A/N: Heads up, long chapter for you!!!

|•|

Back when she was little, Lisa has surely heard a lot of sayings from a few elders regarding time. Sayings like: time is gold, time is money, lost time is never found again and many she could recall off.

But among all of the sayings she knows, she now only believes in one of them. For it is proven personally and is occurring to her right now. It is the well-known saying that time flies fast.

How could it be true for her?

Well, since the day where she was yet again left into nothing but tears and indescribable pain, the Queen was able to witness it after a few short minutes of her crying fest. Even now, she could still feel the lingering and puzzled eyes of the Queen zeroed on her.

Reluctant as she is, Lisa admitted the reason why she was sobbing sorrowfully there in the broad room. Once the Queen knew, she immediately summoned Jungkook first thing in the morning during their breakfast. And let's just say that Jungkook certainly got an earful with scoldings from not only the Queen but the King himself as well.

From then on, it absolutely became a daily hell in a quick snap.

Due to the King and Queen being enraged with Jungkook's actions, they settled him with a  punishment that would last for two long weeks. However, the punishment involves them being together the whole day, occupied with their royal lessons lasting for 6 hours, and they would also start eating meals together. Both on the gazebo located at the castle's garden, only guarded and supervised by the Queen's royal maid, Melinda; whose equally strict as the Highness herself.

So it was truly a devastating news for her when she realized that Chaeyoung won't be beside her.

To double up the torture she's in, Jungkook did the pleasure to increase her misery. During their royal lessons, Jungkook became harsher and would purposefully mess up and point accusing fingers to Lisa; causing for Melinda to reprimand her. At first, Lisa shrugged his acts off as she guess of him being bitter with his consequences. Yet as time went by, Jungkook would only make her day miserable and leave her with more lectures to come.

If you think it was bad, then Lisa wouldn't know how to describe the meals they had on a regular basis.

As per said in the rules on one of their lessons, a male should always be a gentleman and should always assist his female companion on any kind of occasions they may have. And Jungkook is definitely a gentleman.

For he would always do the honor of driving Lisa towards the way of humiliation.

Whenever Lisa would sit on her chair, Jungkook is expected to help her get situated comfortably. But it would seem Jungkook has another meaning for the word comfortable for he would move Lisa's chair further backward than the usual. And with the female completely unaware with his antics, Lisa would awkwardly fall down on her bum; earning her a few mocking giggles from the maids surrounding them.

Of course like his routine, Jungkook would act innocent and lend a hand for her to take. But as he did, Lisa didn't fail to see the devious smirk plastering his lips and depraving chuckle that haunts the maiden's ears.

There was even this time that Jungkook intentionally added strong, spicy flavors on her favorite soup. Thanks the heavens though, she was fast enough to catch on his trick and was able to evade Melinda's sharp tongue.

But despite of those things he shamelessly does to her, there's this one scenario that Lisa wouldn't be able to shrug nor forget like the past ones he did before.
