I woke up and was confused seeing my surroundings. Then I remembered that I ran away from home. I got up and I heard people talking from the shop. I took my hood and wore it. I hid my face and went to the shop. There were people, they were buying flowers. I leaned by the door. I saw y/n happily, sell her flowers. 'She looks really happy. I wonder if there's something I can do to help.' I thought. After the people gone, I went to her.
"I didn't realize you're this busy." I said to her. "Oh! Your awake! Good morning!" She said, smiling. My cheeks got a little red, but it was unnoticeable. "Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked her. She looked at me confused for some time. Then she clapped her hands and said, "Oh! Now I remember! We were supposed to become work buddies!" I laughed at her. "Hey!! Don't laugh at me!!" She exclaimed. "You can help out at the counter." I looked at her confused. "So what do I need to do in the counter?" I asked her. "Simple. You need to, take money and if they give extra money then give it back to them!" She said. "So what'll you do?" "Oh me? I'll help them find their flowers, water them and go to the forest to find some rare flowers." She said with stars in her eyes. "Oh! You can come too, whenever I go to the forest. Since you want to explore." She said.
I nodded ok to her, trying not to look to eager. Soon people started to enter the shop again. "Let's get into our positions!" She said cheerfully." "Um uh about the flowers pric--" "Don't worry there's a list of how much each flowers cost! You can take that's help." She said. I thanked her and went to the counter. I looked for the list. By a list, she ment a whole diary of plants prices. 'She calls this a list?' I thought and looked at her. She was watering the plants. I sighed. I started what I was assigned to do. 'At least there's not too many people. It would've been hard to do it.' I thought.

It was evening and not many people came to buy plants. "I guess everyone's done buying for th--" as I was saying this to y/n a well-dressed man came into the shop. 'He must be in his 30's.' I thought. "Hello there! How can I help you?" Y/n said, smiling. The man smiled, put his hand on y/n's left shoulder and said, "I'm planning a party, at the end of this week. I need someone to decorate the halls with flowers. Will you be able to take on the task?" The man asked. "Sure! Just give me your address and the type of flower you want us to decorate with." She said. 'Wait a second. Us?! She can't possibly be referring to me. Right?' I thought. The man gave her a piece of paper, which I presume is his address. "I'll leave it up to you to decide which flowers you want to decorate with." He said, squeezing her shoulders. I saw her getting a little uncomfortable.
So I went to her, pulled her towards me by the hand. "Sure. We'll be there at the given date. And decorate it properly." I said, smiling. But I was more annoyed than happy. He looked kinda angry but he didn't say anything about it. "Alright then. Here's your advance. I'll give the rest after the job gets done." He said firmly this time and handed me the money. Then he left. I sighed. "What was that about?" Y/n said, tilting her head. I just shrugged, not really wanting to answer her.
I read the piece of paper and found he's a rich person. And lives in another village. "Oh, that's the neighboring village." Y/n said, peeking into the note, from over my shoulder. "How far is it?" I asked her. "Will take a day or a day and a half by foot." She answered. "You went there before?" "Uh-huh." "We need to take a horse then." "I don't have one. Cause I can't ride a horse." Y/n said, scratching her neck. "I can ride one." "You can!! That's so amazing!!" She screeched. "But I'll need a horse first." I said. She went into a deep thought.
After a while she clapped and said, "I have an idea! You can befriend one of the horses from the forest!" She said. "Can I even do that? Ride a wild horse?" I asked. "Sure you can!" She said, patting my back. "Let's go befriend a horse now!" "Wait, now?!!" I asked her, shocked. "Uh-huh. We'll go now since we need to start our journey tomorrow. I have a horse friend. But you'll need to befriend him or else he won't let you put a saddle on him." She said.
"But don't worry. I'll bring his favorite food. You try to feed him. If he eats from your hands, it'll mean he's ok with being your friend. And if he doesn't.... let's just hope that doesn't happen." She said, chuckling nervously. I looked at her suspiciously, but I shrugged it off. Then she took some yellow looking things. "What's that?" I asked. "Oh. It's hay. It's his favorite food!" She answered. Then we walked into the forest. My hands at my sword, ready to attack whenever threatened.

After sometime we reached the place. She pointed her finger in front her and I looked where her finger was pointing at. As soon as I saw there, my eyes widened. I saw the most majestic horse I've ever seen.

Y/n handed me the hay and told me to go and try to befriend him. "But weren't you supposed to help me?" I whispered to her. "I'm helping you by giving you the hay. But you need to do it on your own." She whispered. I rolled my eyes and went towards him.

"H-hey there, mind if we became friends. Ha ha." I said and nervously chuckled. The horse looked angry at me, as a sweat went down my forehead. Then we started to have chase. With him chasing me or him running away from me. But at the end I was successful in making him my friend. Cause now he's eating the hay.
I was laying on the grass, panting. Soon y/n came and peeked at my face. "I *pant* am *pant* so going *pant* to get *pant* you for *pant* that!" I said to her, panting. I'm extremely tired. Y/n giggled then sat beside me. "Congratulations on making another friend. He he." She said as I glared at her. The horse neighed and came to y/n And she patted his head.
"I have question. If it was your friend then why didn't you just asked it to--" "Cause he wouldn't have let you travel on his back. And like I said, I can't ride a horse." She interrupted me.
After I got normal, we went back to her house with the horse. "You should give him a name." She said to me as she put the horse in a shed. "I'll think about it later. But for now I just want to go and sleep." I replied. "Ok then! Good night to the both of you." She said and started to go away. "Just wake me up tomorrow in time." I told her. She waved her hands as to indicate that she would. I smiled at her. Then went inside and fell asleep.
