Chapter 119 - Impulsive [1] (1/2)

When Moon Jiwoo was passing by the hallway, she did not expect for Junghwa to appear out of nowhere and grab both of her hands.

Nonetheless, thinking about it, it was not all that surprising. Junghwa tend to pop up from all sorts of places these days, and instead of chasing after Sookyung, it seemed that she was going after Jiwoo.

Although Jiwoo was not able to figure out what the female was thinking, she knew that Junghwa was upto no good. There was no way that the female who picked a fight with her first was trying to make amends with her.

Jiwoo planned to tell about Sookyung about Junghwa's constant annoyance, but these days, he had been busy to the point they rarely met.

Even though Jiwoo was rarely considerate, she could see that he was overworking currently and did not want to add more to his workload.

If informed about this, Jiwoo was aware that he would try to get her out, and knowing that this would cause him to deal with both of his parents, this would merely cause trouble for him.

Despite not having a clue on what Junghwa could be scheming, Jiwoo believed that it would not be too serious.

After all, there were limited amount of things Junghwa was able to do against her, and as someone who had pulled jealousy filled tricks before, Jiwoo thought that she would be able to look past them.

Raising her head, Jiwoo saw that smile on Junghwa's face which seemed to be quite innocent— one that Jiwoo had grown to hate— and a sparkle was present in Junghwa's eyes.

”Daerinnie, are you going to the garden? Take me with you,” Junghwa stated.

Creases instantly appeared between both of her eyebrows, and Jiwoo instantly pulled her hands away from Junghwa.

Staring at her as if she was a bother, Jiwoo said, ”Why in the world will I be taking you with me? Just don't annoy me right now. Leave!”

Junghwa did not appear to be affected by Jiwoo's outburst. In fact, appearing to be more determined, she extended her hand forward to grab on to Jiwoo's hands again.

”Please, Daerin, I just want to go with you. I am really lonely at here. I won't talk to you or disturb you. Can't you reconsider it?” Junghwa pleaded.

”What the hell are you trying to play at!?” Jiwoo exclaimed, removing her hand from the female's grip.

A gasp escaped from Junghwa's mouth at that moment, and Moon Jiwoo was taken by surprise when the female fell backward. Junghwa's back hit against the wall, as she closed her eyes slightly and wince escaped from her mouth.

One more thing Moon Jiwoo knew for sure was that she did not use enough energy to send the woman falling. That could either mean that Junghwa was weak or she fell on her own.

Not understanding what Junghwa was trying to accomplish by that, Jiwoo voiced out, ”You disgust me! Just stay away from me next time around or it will be more than this.”

Letting out a scoff, Jiwoo turned her back on the female and began to walk away. Junghwa, on the other hand, had the corner of her lips curving to form a small smirk.

At that instant, Jiwoo was not aware of what trouble her actions would be leading her to.

Walking through the garden, Jiwoo stared at the beautiful flowers that bloomed throughout the palace. Most of the flowers were unfamiliar to her.

Jiwoo could see how well taken care of the garden was. The scene before her seemed to be one out of a picture. Various coloured flowers complemented each other well while a sweet scent wafted off of them.

A particular flower caught Jiwoo's eyes, and making her way over to it, she bent down to sit before it. Extending her hand towards the flower, she touched the petals of the flower. Although the petals were cold, they felt soft to the touch.

From its outward appearance, it resembled an iris somewhat. However, there were quite details about it that was different from an iris.

”That's Ereis. Although beautiful, it is quite a poisonous flower. Eating its roots can be deadly for the Red Clan.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiwoo turned back. Oh Jihoon stood before her, and a smile formed on her face at that.

The flower field behind him suited him well, and that made him seem more like a Prince in Jiwoo's eyes.

”Oh Jihoon-ssi,” she said.

He nodded in acknowledgement.
