Silent Heart (Lisrene Adaptation)

Devilish Princess

An embrace so tight, a feeling of uncertainty haunted her, and a stroke of fear knocked down on her. The blood dripping down on her head was nothing but at that very moment, Irene felt everything to her. She felt confused as to why she held Irene in her arms so tight that the pieces of her wouldn't break nor fall. Finally, she found her voice that sums up her feelings.

Lisa: Don't you ever make me worry again...

Irene's arms were already wrapped around her, gripping tight on Lisa's shirt, and sobbing on her chest. She was that close to danger and if it wasn't for Lisa, she knew she would be dead by now. Irene could feel Lisa's tight embrace that refused to let go of her, her shivering of fear became stable and those words she heard, words that felt real, felt sincere, made her ease up and feel safe the most. In between her sobs, she spoke.

Irene: Lis--- thank---

But Lisa cut her off.

Lisa: Shh... It's okay Irene... She broke her embrace and quickly held Irene's face with both of her hands

Lisa was trying to see if Irene was injured, checking Irene's head to see if there would be any signs of scratches visible. Indeed, her heart was pounding a fast beat.

She locked her gaze on Irene's piercing blue eyes and another flash of images came to her. What she saw was the sky covered with leaves, the sound of howling wolves, and an image of her climbing down a certain tree. But her hand suddenly stopped by another. It was none other but Irene, how her tears of concern mirrored her face.

----------------------------------------

Lisa: I have to do this Irene... I'll meet you back at camp...

Irene: Promise me...

Lisa: I promise... (she smiled)

-------------------------------------

When Lisa reached the ground, she looked up to where Irene was and gestured to Irene not to make a sound. Eyes of concern looking down on her and the very eyes and emotion she is currently seeing. She couldn't speak for a moment, it seemed she had lost her words, stunned she was. In that span of seconds, Lisa realized that she had made a promise, a promise never to a stranger was made. She gave those words to the girl in front of her, feeling she was everything to her.

Irene: Lisa... hey...

Lisa was snapped back to reality when she heard a gentle and soft voice of Irene.

Lisa: Uhm... Irene-----

???: Irene!!!!

A man screamed with such a high pitch. It was Irene's father, Commander Bae came rushing in, and in an instant, Lisa distanced herself from Irene. She quickly stood up and took a step back to give way to Commander Bae.

Commander Bae: Irene!!! Are you okay?... Are you hurt? He said with such concern as he embraces his daughter

Irene: I—I'm okay dad...

It wasn't just Commander Bae who came rushing in towards Irene, her friends also came rushing in. Indeed, they are all worried for their friend, they thought she in a glimpse of danger was killing them. Seulgi sighed in relief that Irene is safe, she places her gaze on Lisa who was just standing beside Irene, and Commander Bae acted cool with blood dripping down her head. She took her steps forward towards Lisa.

Seulgi: Bro... thank you... for saving Irene... we should get that head of yours checked by the medic.

And for the first time, Seulgi thanked Lisa and showed concern for her, all the hate she felt for Lisa years before really did fade. She was more understanding and accepting.
