SWNOVELS Chapter 6 First Encounter,
The moment I consumed that white particle,
An absurd amount of memories flooded my mind, and it felt like these memories were now becoming a part of me.
These memories are from Ren's childhood, which he just started thinking about, and even the memories that he forgot or wanted to forget were now flowing through my mind and settling there.
"And guess what I found?"
Ren's memories revealed a secret about his and Mary's relationship and the reason he is so obsessed with her.

Past POV
(Inside a park.)
In the park, there was a boy who appeared to be no more than a six-year-old. The boy sat on the swing as he pushed himself back and forth on it.
He was very cute in appearance, as he had plump cheeks, a small stature, a round face, and pale jade skin and short dark hair.
Overall, he looked adorable, but one thing that stood out were the pair of his golden eyes; they seemed like they had flames in them, and that made the boy look a little more aggressive than he actually was.contemporary romance
Sigh
A tired sigh escaped from his lips.
"Haa, I'm so bored." Ren sighed as he said these words.
Ren's been sitting in this park for hours now, but nothing here interests him. Other kids were here sometime ago, but they also left after playing. Ren was a shy kid with an introverted personality, and due to this, he isn't close to any other kids his age, and right now he is left with no friends and is lonely.
The only people he interacts with are his parents and some close neighbours, whom he has known since the time he was born.
Ren's been sitting like this for an hour, just silently gazing around the empty park with zero interest.
"Huh?" As he looked around, something suddenly caught his eye.
Near the entrance to the park, there stood a small girl wearing a pink frock with a floral design on it. It seemed like it was her first time in this park because of the way she was curiously looking around the park.
The girl was probably the same age as Ren; she had a round face with plump cheeks and two rabbit teeth slightly sticking out of her lips; shoulder-length bright silver hair adored her crown; and she had eyes matching the colour of her hair.
"What is she doing?" Ren was a bit confused by her sudden appearance; at this time of day, no one came to the park, and this was the first time he saw this girl in this neighbourhood. He observed the girl closely.
The girl looked here and there; she then spotted the swing where Ren is, and she started to come near him.
Tudu tudu
She was a little slow with her running, but for some reason, her toddler-like walk looked cute to Ren.
"Ah,no!" Ren realised he'd been staring at her for too long, and when he noticed it, he was so ashamed that his face also started to look like a ripe tomato.
After a few seconds,
She came to where Ren was and looked at his face.
"Hhngg!!" She opened her mouth to say something only to close it again. Her face flushed to the point where we could see steam coming from her face.
To cover it up, she immediately looked down to the ground,
"So pretty." The little girl mumbled something under her breath.
"Hmm?" and Ren wasn't able to pick up on what she said there.
"Nothing. I didn't say anything. Yes, definitely, you must be hearing things." Suddenly the girl started to move her head vigorously right and left, like exaggerating her response.
which again, for some unknown reason, seemed too cute and lovely to Ren. His face started to redden again, and he went silent, trying hard not to look at her due to his embarrassment.
Some time passed like this in embarrassment, and nobody talked to each other.
"Hey, can you play on the swing?" The girl asked in a hesitating tone,and then Ren realised why she came to where he was sitting. and spoke to him.
When Ren didn't respond to her, the girl looked at him and asked,
"No?" she asked, tears forming at the corner of her eyes. That gesture made Ren's small heart ache with pain so much that he saw a little baby angel with a bow in its hand shooting a heart-shaped arrow towards his heart.
Ren was in his own world and didn't respond. The girl got more dejected and started to leave with her head cast down towards the ground.
"Hey, don't go; you can play here.". Seeing the girl try to leave, Ren tries to stop her, albeit stuttering.
Saying this, he got off the swing to give his spot to the girl.
"Really! thank you!" When she saw Ren getting off the swing, her expression immediately brightened, and she thanked Ren for his actions.
"Oh, no, that's fine." Seeing her adorable smile like that, Ren immediately got a little flustered.
"Happ." The girl then jumped on the swing and started swinging back and forth.
Ren had an unexplainable feeling inside him that grew as he kept watching this unknown girl, and he left the park and started walking towards his house.

Even after coming back to the house, he kept thinking about what happened in the park.
"Who was that girl?" Is she new here? How is she so adorable? Why? whywhy? ...." Ren asked himself,
Ding dong
With so many "whys" in his mind,the doorbell of his house rang, and he heard the voices of his parents greeting someone.
"I won't go down until they call me, so I don't have to worry about meeting guests, but I'm also curious about who is there at this hour; I'll ask Mom about it later."
After a few seconds,
"Ruu, sweety, come downstairs; there are some guests here to meet you." And to his bad luck, his mother called him down at the exact moment, and his nickname is Ruu.
Step step
He got up from his bed and came downstairs, and the moment he entered the hall where guests were, his whole world halted.
On the sofa sat the same girl that he met in the park, but now she was accompanied by a beautiful adult woman who looked like her older version.
"Maybe it's her sister." Ren thought to himself as he observed the duo,
Simultaneously, the girl also looked shocked since she didn't expect this to happen, but suddenly her expression changed, and she looked at him with a grumpy look while pouting.
"You are the same girl from a while ago, right?" Ren asked.
"Yes, and my name is not "the girl," it's Mary Kleine. Also, why did you leave the park without telling me?" She yelled at Ren, The girl said that her name is Mary.
He didn't answer because all of this was too much for our little Ren.
