Chapter One.

"Good morning! Can you give this to Lee Minhyung?" A blue-haired guy comes up to the reception area, holding a bouquet of roses, with a slight smile on his face.

The female dentist creases her forehead so hard, thinking if she has a co-worker named Lee Minhyung. "Oh!" Her face brightens up when she realizes. "I think you're looking for Mark. What's your name? So, I can tell him that you want to give this to him."

The blue-haired guy shakes his head, "No! There's no need of telling my name. Just give it to him. Please, I need to go." He puts the bouquet onto the counter top and bows to let her know that he's leaving. "Bye." He turns around and walks towards the exit of the clinic.

The female dentist frowns out of confusion but grabs the bouquet anyway. She sees a pack of gummy bears inside. "This is cute." She walks up to Mark's office with a smile on her face. "Hey, Mark! Someone left this at the counter. It's for you."

"Again?" Mark questions, turning to look at her on his swivel chair. "Seriously? Is that person going to send me flowers every day?" he asks in frustration.

"I don't know. But hey, it has gummy bears inside. Come on! Your admirer will be sad if you won't accept this." She grins at him and places the bouquet on his lap. "Gosh, I feel single." She sighs before leaving his office.

Mark stares down at the bouquet, pursing his lips. He grabs the pack of gummy bears and turns it to the other side. He notices a sticky note. He furrows his eyebrows while reading it.

hey, minhyung ♡

red roses means love. haha so cheesy. i also decided to put gummy bears because i don't want to just send you flowers. i really hope you like it. maybe tomorrow i'll put gummy worms next? HAHA. see you later, cutie.

He blushes upon reading the nickname. "I'm not a cutie."

He opens the pack of gummy bears, ignoring the flowers. As he grabs one piece, he puts the bouquet onto the table, and then enjoys the gummy bears.

"Whoever you are, thank you." He smiles while staring at the sticky note. "But I wish you would tell your name so I can thank you properly."

×××

After his shift, he organizes his things on his table and then grabs his bag, ready to leave his office. He glances at the two bouquets of flowers on his table and smiles slightly.

"See you tomorrow, guys!" he yells to his co-workers as he walks towards the exit.

"See you tomorrow, Mark!" they greet him back as he finally leaves the clinic.

He's walking over to the bus stop when he spots figures of a bickering couple. When he approaches the bus stop, he confirms they are his friends, Donghyuck and Renjun.

"What are y'all fighting about?" he asks, frowning at the two of them.

"This bitch had the audacity to blame me why our date was postponed when he was the one who ditched me yesterday," Donghyuck replies, rollng his eyes at his boyfriend.

"Money is money," Renjun scoffs.

Donghyuck raises an eyebrow at his boyfriend, "And money is more important than me?" Renjun didn't reply. "If that's the case, then let's break up!"

"No! Babe, I don't want to." Renjun whines and suddenly clings to his boyfriend. "I promise, I won't ditch you next time." He pouts.

Suddenly, a bus stops in front of them. Mark glances at it and glares at his friends.

He groans of annoyance. "You two are so annoying, I don't know why I'm friends with you," he complains. "Anyway, I'll be going now. Bye!"

"Bye, Mark!"

"Bye, Mark hyung!"

Mark finally gets inside the bus. He sits at the back part and takes the seat beside a male student—he figured out because he's in a school uniform—who's wearing earphones and playing with his phone.

He glances at him quickly before the conductor collects his fare.
