Everyday just like any other day, I'm at the flower shop,
watering the flowers waiting.
Since I was a kid I've been liking flowers and have my own mini garden.
Watching them blooming everyday is just a blessing. Having a flower shop is the best achievement I've ever had.
Collecting money since 16 and having my own shop when I was 22. From a part time florist to a full time florist, not bad right?
But there's one more thing I want to achieve. Having a lover.
My mom said I need to get married before I hit my 30s. No it's not like she's pressuring me, It's just a reminder, you wanna get child and see every moment of them before you get older.
I don't wanna rush things. I never have a relationship before, so I don't really know how to deal with them. But maybe one day I will have someone to teach me how to love.
"Y/n!!"
The door bell started to make it sound when someone's entering.
"Yuna? You came here last week, what happened?"
"What are you doing~" She sounds excited and ignoring my question.
"Arranging the flowers, I have new orders." I said while arranging the bouquets.
"Well, I know this one guy from a dating app-" Her words got cutted.
"I knew it, you only came here to say something about the guy but congratulations I guess, and if he ghost you later don't come to me."
"Aww, Y/n your so mean, he's a good guy okay? I never talk to anyone that lasts this long." She said pouted.
I sighed. "Anyways, what is today's news?" I asked her.
Yuna is my best friend since middle school, she's the only person who came and approach me when I came to that school.
My mom and my dad were divorce and we move to a different city, so I have to move school as well.
Even if Yuna always pampered and act like a child, she's older than me but single af. Looking for someone from a dating app? yeah, that is her speciality. And she's also a blogger, so I know some news from her.
"Damn yeah, it's hella hot! Do you know Masaki Suda and Nana Komatsu just got married?!? they are the most attractive couple ever." She said excitedly.
They are the most hit couple in Japan. I wish to have a relationship just like them.
"Yeah? Woww." I answered her.
"Let me help you here today, Y/n." She said patting my shoulder.
Yuna helps me at the shop and I ask her to arrange the flowers and I do the listing for the orders.

It is almost Lunch time, Yuna went out to buy our lunch and I'm at my shop taking pictures of the flowers to post on my flower shop Instagram.
*Entrance door bell sounds*
"Welcome~" I welcomed the person who came to my shop.
"Hi, I would like to buy this bouquet and can you please put a note inside? simple note is fine." He's holding a bouquet of roses, tall and wearing a suit.
I mesmerized by his beauty.
"Miss?" He called for me.
"H-huh? oh sure sure come with me." I led him to the counter.
I grab two piece of paper and a pen. "Write the note and I'll rewrite it afterwards."
I hand him the sample note.
"Dear sister, I know you love note so I wrote it. Nothing much just want you to know that I miss you."
"Here, write this." He hand the note back.
Oh so it's for her sister? Hm is he gonna post this? That's a loss for me if he did that.
"Sir, if you're going to post this, I suggest you to use our service and it is much faster." I said in a friendly tone.
"Oh- no-no she.. you know, not around anymore so I decided to visit her grave a-and Rose is her favorite flower and a small note is her favorite is her favorite thing to receive."
I gasped and drop my pen. "Oh my god. I'm- I'm so sorry for your loss! I shouldn't ask that." I said and apologize.
"it's okay, I'm getting better now. And plus I think you know my sister, Tachibana Hinata. She goes to your shop in her free time sometimes right?" He said, pick up the pen and handing it back.
"Thank you, but Hinata? She's your sister? Uh she went to my shop like in her daily but until I heard the news she died in a car crash is really make my heart stopped a beat. I didn't know she has a brother." I said look at him.
Hinata is my regular customer, but I don't consider her as my 'customer' because we were so close, she asked me alot about how I taking care of the flowers and more.
"Yeah, it's a tragic story." He handed me the cash and I gave him back the the change.
"You look really tired, Sir. I think you should have a day off."
"Ahaha, I do think of having a break but these new cases just make my sleep schedule even more messy. Or sometimes I don't even sleep." He rubbed his head awkwardly.
"Really? Are you a lawyer?" I asked him, tilting head and raise my eyebrows.
"Actually I'm a detective." He said and let his Detective ID badge out and show it to me.
"Oh? I should have been more polite talking to you." I said and look at his name.
"So your name is Tachibana Naoto?" I asked him.
"Yeah, and you, miss?"
"I'm L/n Y/n, nice to meet you." I led my left hand and shake his hand.
"Yeah, nice to meet you too. He smiled.
"Ah, I gotta go now, wanna visit her before lunch break finish."
"Oh okay, wait the second I arrange them back okay?" So I did arrange the flowers and put the note inside.

He left the shop.

I left the shop and went to the Cemetery.
I arrived at the cemetery and look for my sister's grave.
"Hi sister, how are you doing up there? I bought you a roses, oh and I went to the flower shop that you always mention to me and met the owner she's really nice and, cute." I smiled as Y/n's face slide into my mind.
"She's just like you, caring. Now I know why you always came to that flower shop" I caressed the grave stone.
Suddenly I got a call from my co-worker.
𝗜𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹
"Hello? Detective Naoto? where are you?"
"Visiting my sister, why?"
"There's another report about the thefts, and I think they related to our previous report."
"Wait really? okay let's this discuss this later I'll be back."
𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱
I rushed to the police station and park my car.
The co-worker sighed "There you are, detective. I have the report with me." He showed me the report and I look at it carefully.
"Only this?" I said still focusing on the report.
"Yeah because the victim said she can't clearly see the theft's face." He said stuttering.
I gave him back the report and went to the counter where the victims make their reports and spotted the florist I met an hour ago trying to calm the girl beside her.
"Miss, Y/n? What are you doing here?" I asked her and look at her friend.
"Eh? Detective?" She said and look at me. "Well..."
