"I bet you, in one month, I will make Yeji fall in love with me."
Silence. No one dared to even say a word. Until Jeongin butted in.
"What the fuck?"
"I bet you," Yunho goes over his sentence again slowly, "in one month, I will make Yeji fall in love with me."
"How are you going to do that, Yunho?" Lia questions the boy as he looks at her.
"I have my charms-"
"We are not having this talk again," Y/n interrupts. "Yunho, don't you think that sounds kind of... forceful?"
"I'm thinking about it like this. I will try my best to be the perfect person for her, to see if she becomes interested of her own accord. If by the end of that month, I feel like nothing progressed, I will work to stop pining for her. I want to feel like i at least have a chance." Yunho finishes.
"If that is what can help you get closure for this crush of yours, do it, I don't care anymore. As long an neither of you get hurt by this," Changbin says, "Its hard watching you come to the dorm every night bummed out you didn't get to talk at all but still watching as you hang onto her."
"Damn, I didn't realize how much she had you wrapped around her finger," Jeongin says as the waiter comes by with everyone's food. Silence fell upon the group as they ate, Yunho relieved that he had finally come to a conclusion that a majority seemed okay with, after all, he doesn't want to lose his friends.

The next day Yunho found himself waking up later than he usually does for classes, and for one reason only. Work. Yunho dresses himself in his work attire before getting into his car, making his way to the local flower shop that truly stuck out like a sore thumb in the busy city.
The atmosphere was calm and took your mind off of the bustling city his campus was in the middle of. Although it was never too busy, Yunho was always excited to see the interesting personalities that enter the shop every now and then, each of them having a unique story to tell.
Turning the sign on the door to display OPEN!, Yunho begins doing small jobs to pass time, such as making sure the flowers are at their best angles, the hanging plants aren't dripping excess water, and the floors are nice and clean, no petals or leaves strewn about.
One thing that always bother Yunho about work was that it was so empty, so quiet. Yunho enjoyed talking to people, learning as much as he can about a customer before he never sees them again. Yunho liked to know things, whether it be how his friends were, what a customer did for a living, or even campus drama, Yunho liked being in the know.
He believes that is why it irked him so much that Yeji didn't really ever glance at him. He wanted to know why. Not in the "why-do-girls-always-go-for-bad-boys-I'm-so-great" way, he just wanted to know what she didn't find attractive about him so he could change.
No matter how many times Changbin tells him that he shouldn't have to change in order for someone to like him, he doesn't listen. He is willing to change if it means she will like him.
Changbin says its not good, and won't lead to a healthy relationship, the guilt will catch up wo him. Yunho knows he's right, but again, he doesn't listen.
He is brought out of his thoughts when he hears the chime of the door, his manager walking inside. "Good morning, Yunho," He says as he walks to the backroom. "I forgot my apron back here, sorry to interrupt."
"There was nothing to interrupt, don't worry. Its been empty since I got here," Yunho says, watching as his manager exits the room again, apron now in hand. Suddenly, an idea makes itself known in Yunho's mind.
"I have an employee discount, correct?" Yunho asked, catching the attention of his manager before he had left the building.
"Yeah, you plan to give someone flowers?" The manager asks, looking back at the man.
"Yeah, I have someone that comes to mind," Yunho says and his manager nods, waving at him before he exits the building.

Yunho looked around the shop, trying to find any black or dark colored flowers. Walking around, he spotted one of his personal favorites, the Queen of the Night Tulip. Although it has purple-ish undertones, Yunho believes it will be a perfect flower to start with.
Creating a small bouquet, he wraps them lightly in plastic before grabbing a small card and writing a note:
good morning, yeji !! i hope this finds you in good health. have a good day today :)
Yunho places the card in the bouquet before ringing himself up and paying. Placing them on the counter, Yunho waited for his shift to end so he can place the flowers at Yeji's doorstep the next morning.
