"Secrets"
It's nothing unusual for Minhyuk to see many young people sitting and reading a book, whilst spending relaxing evening in a tea shop. But it did make him giggle, when a man covered in hefty leather, ripped up t-shirt and sleeked back long, black hair sat in the middle of shop, deeply immersed in the fine literature Minhyuk's Tea-slash-Flower shop could offer. The only part, other than his very young face, were his silver, thin rimmed round glasses, that gave him a youthful and vibrant appearance. The golden hour hitting city peaks enhanced one side of the viewed man and Minhyuk couldn't deny his handsomeness. With cheeky cheek structure, powerful nose and dark eyebrows arching up on a, presumably, interesting scene of the book, Minhyuk smiled and looked back down on the kettle, that was screaming out notifications in form of hot fumes about being done with it's job.
Minhyuk poured hot water into a mug, where already a strainer disguised as a black cat clang to the mug's edges, being filled with a dried leaf mix of peppermint and lemon balm. Just how Changkyun– the focused book worm, more like a book cat– liked.
"One peppermint and lemon balm tea as always for my favorite reader," the bright shop owner chirped, placing mug with a small tray for the strainer on the table. The seated man awoke out of the fantasy that was "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and put the book down, giving a shy smile and a 'thank you' to the blond haired man.
"Why have you been ordering peppermint and lemon balm tea so much?" Sitting down with his own mug of earl grey, that warms one up during winter, Minhyuk looked at Changkyun, who was carefully blowing at his drink, looking so small despite his whole fashion.
With now fogged up glasses, Changkyun looked up, blush covering his cheeks. After a shy chuckle he responded, "In one of your botany books i read before, there was mentioned that Lemon Balm attracts bee's. It's latin name is Melissa, which means 'Honey bee'."
"And why the peppermint?"
"So Lemon Balm wouldn't be lonely~" that small smile still holding up, Changkyun's sentence ended with door's chiming and awaited familiar face coming into the shop. Minhyuk could bet this was the freshly arrived bee Changkyun was trying to attract so much, having heard the other calling Jooheon 'Joohoney' and 'Honey'. And it really suited him. Even if the newcomer of the shop was too dressed in sleek black leather, with slicked back even darker hair and sharp eyes... his cushy lips, bright attitude and, ugh, a weakness, charming dimples were all sweet and honey like.
"Minhyuk, this time he really couldn't decide on what he wants!" With apparent annoyance lacing his voice, Jooheon went to the table gently pressing down on Changkyun's shoulders. Minhyuk noticed how the latter melted into the touch. Their friendship brought him smile.
"So it's Kihyun's birthday tomorrow and boss want his flowers to be the first thing his crush see's, when he wakes up," Jooheon continued, entering the flower side of shop, that were separate aisles from the tea shop. He walked down, touching the petals of many colors, each flower pretty with their own story to tell, "He wanted something that displays both delicate affection, yet passion as well and "I will do anything for him'.. his words."
