Lisa sat with a serious face on a garden chair in Hwaniwon. The sunlight that day was quite strong, but the air under the shadow of the zelkova tree was cool.  Even under the bright blue sky and the beautiful field of wildflowers, her heart still felt uneasy.

Jungkook had not contacted her since the incident that day. Was he really busy with his work as usual? Or was there another problem?

Lisa played with the necklace that Jungkook put on her last week. It was really a romantic ring with the symbol of the woman he loves.

Jungkook's father was looking for his wife like crazy. Although many things were incomprehensible in this world, Lisa really didn't understand why the two people who still loved each other had to separate.

What secrets were hidden between them?

Despite the love of his playboy father and the wishes of his careless mother, in Jungkook's eyes, his parents were still parents who didn't really love their own children.

His father always ignored him, while his mother traded him for money. However, even though they had acted like that, the reason why they had kept this secret for life remained a question. Maybe one day Jungkook would find out the answer.

"Lisa?"

"Oh, Shin Hee."

Lisa who was daydreaming just noticed Shin Hee's gaze who had been looking at her. Shin Hee still looked perfectly beautiful as always. The woman wearing orange overalls with a short jacket looked good with the beautiful wild flowers in Hwaniwon.

"The person at the cafeteria told me to look for you in the greenhouse or here, but you were right here. If you were in the orchard, I would have given up already."

"What were you looking for me for?"

"I just met with the dean. Starting this semester, I'll be teaching at this college. I suddenly thought of you and stopped by to see you. It's okay, right?"

"Ah, yes."

So, now this woman was a lecturer who would be teaching at this university. Her family background was good, her looks were attractive, and she's also friendly and kind to her ex- boyfriend's new girlfriend. The woman who had everything was now in front of Lisa. God really doesn't seem fair.

"This is a present for you. You like flowers, right? I also gave this to the dean and because I thought of you, I prepared another one for you. Do you like it?"

"Yes. It's very pretty."

Lisa gratefully accepted the handful of chrysanthemums Shin Hee handed over. The yellow chrysanthemums wrapped neatly in dark colored felt looked simple yet beautiful.

Shin Hee, who put her bag on the chair next to Lisa and sat down beside her, looked happy.

"You know, Jungkook really likes this place too. Oh, yeah, I forgot. We first met at this place, right. When you were with Jungkook."

Shin Hee looked around Hwaniwon which was now filled with wildflowers and thick green grass.

"When he was little, he loved coming to this place. Do you know why he liked this place so much?"

"Not really..."

"I understand. That person won't tell you about himself. Because in the past, every time we came here, Jungkook's father was always in this place. Even though he didn't say anything to me, I immediately knew why he liked this place. That's why I always took him to play in this place every day. And, even though he pretended to be unwilling at first, Jungkook always followed me to this place."
