Happy New Year Everyone~

YOONA/YANNA

"And where do you think you're going, Yoona?"

"A-Annyeong, A-Ahjussi." I gave him a small wave with a very crooked smile.

Crap, so much for calling this garden a paradise.

And with that already thought of, I dashed out and ran on mud puddles, as if I was Flash. I don't care about the dirt! I care about not meeting that ahjussi!

"Aish this!" I said nonchantally. Yeah, I'm doomed.

My hand was already at the very edge of the garden's little gate when someone grabbed my other hand and pulled me closer, making mu bump to his chest.

"Aigoo, its raining yet you're still trying to get away from me." This ahjussi spoke, which makes me want to glare at me but he's freaking hand is on my head. Seriously, he's just annoying the hell out of me.

"Let go." I commanded and tried to push him away, only to be pulled again by him. Thank goodness I'm not on his chest this time.

"You're unfortunately under a small umbrella which can't really occupy two people right. You want to let go?"

And that's when I just noticed the umbrella above us.

"Oh," was all I could mutter. Geesh.

"You're dirty too," He gestured my legs and shoes. "Dirtier than any of  the palace dogs." He added. I glared at him.

"I'm sorry then," I spoke with full of disgust. "I was busy trying to get away from you." And I avoided his gaze after that.

Oh gosh. Someone help me, please. Jebal.

We awkwardly stood there, under the pouring rain, near the garden's small door, and us facing each other. Its as if the rain hitting on leaves and such is more interesting to listen than to hear his voice, which is true. For my sake.

"Looks like no one's around." He suddenly spoke, making my lips pressed into a thin line. Well how good fate is, hitting me with such obvious words.

"Hm, I see that." Was my only response. He clicked his tongue and grabbed my wrist, which gave me a sense of shock with his touch.

"Let's just go back to the green house." And like that, he dragged me towards the said place. I quickly walked away from him once we were inside and took a seat which I just saw while walking.

"How come you're out at this kind of time?" I heard him ask. All I just did was to ignore him and fixed my self. My jacket is in a light color and there were dirt smudges. Another long round of washing.

"Don't you know its still dangerous here even when you're inside the academy's premises?"

I checked my shoes and legs and yep, they were all dirty from the mud puddles alright. Another round of brushing them.

"You'll keep on ignoring me, Yoona?"

Oh no, my hair is also messed up. Aish this weather, making my hair as if I'm some witch. I quickly brushed it using my fingers and took out my hair band from my wrist. I have to tie this–

"Omo–Yah!!" Just when did he just got near me?! He just harshly pulled me from my seat, his one arm around my waist and our faces just inches from each other. My eyes grew large and my breathing became heavy.

What the heck is wrong with this guy?!

"If you'll ignore me yet another time, I might really kiss you for real." He said with conviction in his voice while looking deeply in my eyes. I could only just gulp and press my lips.

Omo, shouldn't have done that. He's looking down, to my lips!

Though I could feel my knees weakening with fear, I was able to push him away with my arms and gave him a not-so-strong glare.

"W-What's your problem?" I uttered and avoided his gaze. I feel like drowning if I stare at it too much. I coughed a bit and looked anywhere but him.

"I-I just wanted to g-go out because I f-felt t-too, ugh, too, uhm, h-hot! Yeah, hot," And I rubbed the hems of my jacket while feeling my face getting hot.

What a wonderful excuse, Yanna. So wonderful.

"A-And what about you? Why are you out at this kind of time, huh?" I asked him back, awkwardly acting tough, which is a fail. He just grinned at what I said.

Yeah, just laugh at how awful I've become. I'm just some fragile lady you people kidnapped from another side of the world.

"I was just heading back to my room when I saw you walking out. Since I know this place is very scary at dawn, I had to follow you." He then crossed my arms and raised hid eyebrow. "Does that satisfy you enough?"

"You don't have to follow me though. I know these pathways as much as you do so your concern doesn't make me concern about it." What the hell did my mouth just utter?

He turned his gaze at me and looked at me confused. His eyebrows were now furrowed.

"You know these paths?" He asked in a very confused voice. I could only just gulp.

What pit have I just fallen into?

"U-Uhm, the academy gate is just near this garden. The cafeteria is in the far left from here, and a soccer field of some sort is behind this. A lake was also there too." I tried telling him in my most acknowledgeable tone. I noticed these places while getting here so that's enough evidence, right?

I'm awful. I know.

"Oh, you do know." I heard him mutter, but I could hear disappointment in his voice. I just shrugged that one off.

"Oh, a Carnation." I said, walking towards the white flower. The silence is killing me so, I had to talk. "I like these kinds of flowers." I added.

"You like Carnations?" I heard him ask behind me. I don't know if he has gotten near me or whatever but this conversation has to go on. To avoid awkward situations.

"Uh yeah, specifically the pink and white ones. I heard the white ones represent luck and purity while the pink ones represent admiration of some sort." I answered him while touching the petals.

"You search about flowers?" I let out a small awkward smile. "Does that mean you like them very much?"

"Uhm, you could say that. I just happen to like each and every flower's meanings and how deep they are, especially those kinds of flowers with meanings I can relate." I don't know why I'm telling him this stuff but let me just get on with it.

But this is the first time I opened up to someone a conversation about flowers, and to think that someone is this Luhan ahjussi.

"This flower's petals seem to be withering though," I exclaimed, seeing some brown linings on it. I looked down and furrowed my eyebrows. "The soil is even very dry. Where's the gardener of this place?"

"The gardener is currently sleeping," I tensed when he unexpectedly placed his hand on my shoulder and his chin on the other. "If you want, we could just take care of it." He said, his breathing already by my ear. I feel my hands getting colder by the minute.

Gosh, this is so uncomfortable! He is making me uncomfortable!

"W-What on earth are you doing?" I asked, my voice raising up though I tried to stay calm. Who wouldn't feel this awkward when someone suddenly puts their chin on someone's shoulder?!

"Correction, "What on SMTown" is the right phrase because we're in SMTown," And I could feel him turning his head a bit to me, and I tried my best not to look back. "Another, I'm just doing what I always do." Is that even reasonable?!

"Get off of me." I told him, and hurriedly put both his face and hand away from me. Thank goodness I didn't stutter. "We're not close enough to be doing these so stop it."

"You tensed because of it?" I coughed unexpectedly and looked at the other side. "Looks like you are." Geez, I could feel his smirk behind me.

"Gosh seriously—" I got cut off when he suddenly pulled me down, a crash of a pot followed after. My eyes became wide and I didn't move an inch.

What just happened?

"Tch, you and your clumsy hands." I turned around and saw him just beside me. He showed a grin. "You didn't notice that you just hit a small pot beside the plant when you turned around to face me." I literally gaped at him.

That happened?

"That would land just beside us. Why do you have to push me and cover me?" I asked, our positions still not changing. My body is faced on the floor while ahjussi's hand was wrapped over me and half-laid down beside me. I saw his grin becoming wider.

"I guess I cared for you too much?" And with that guys, I blushed.

Still blushing, I quickly took his hands off me, yet again, and stood up abruptly. With the situation getting even more uncomfortable for me, I can't just stay here and endure this any longer.

"Looks like the rain has stopped. I better get going," And I walked, more like ran, towards the door and went out. I have to go back to the dorms because the night is getting deeper.

And I can't stand this heart of mine beating loudly. Why does it do that?!

"Yah!" My eyes went wide again when I felt ahjussi pulling me close to him again. I'm freaking centimeters near the gate and he just did that?! "Can't you just let me go for once?!" I couldn't help but shout this time.

"Your name and most of your mannerisms may have changed but you still are Yoona." I stopped whining and looked accidentally at his eyes. I gulped my nervousness inside me.

His eyes. They are familiar.

His face was serious and I could do nothing but press my lips and look at him back. The silence overcame us and his eyes looking at mine intensely is just making me even more familiarized with it. Have I seen those eyes before?

"You.." I spoke, the nervousness obvious in my voice. "Who are you?"

He smiled and his face turned gentle.

"Prince Luhan of Song Kingdom. Once, I was the guy who liked you. Now, I'm a man who wants you."
