04 - Baby's breath

I woke up as soon as the sun rised. I'm not a morning person but today was an exception because today's the day Jisung arrives in S. Korea. He is not gonna meet Minho today but I gotta make friends with him for my plan to succeed.

I got ready, had my breakfast and walked towards the front door. " Where are you going? " Changbin asked as he walked downstairs rubbing his eyes. " Why are you up? " I asked pointing at him.
" I'm going to Hyunjin's house bec- wait why am I answering when I asked you a question first? " I just shrugged, " I just feel like having fresh air. "

" Dressed like that? " Changbin asked with one raised eyebrow, eyeing my pale green hoodie.
" Yes because mother nature has already seen so much trash so why not show her some beauty and bless her eyes. " I said with a smug look.

" Uhh... Are you high on something? " Changbin said with a worried look.
" I'm going for coffee! " I said as I found a genuine reason to go out without sounding suspicious. " Yeah sure! You definitely need it! " Changbin said rushing me out.

I sighed in relief and made my way towards the flower shop where Jisung is going to buy flowers for his mother.

" Hello! Welcome to Flower Shower! " An elderly woman in her late 40's met me when I entered the shop. The shop was not small but not huge either but it has all types of flowers. The air was a mixture of all the different type of fragrances giving the shop an unique aroma.

" Hello. " I replied searching for a certain bluenette with squirrel cheeks.

" Are you looking for some flowers? I may help you with that. " The elderly woman asked me. " I uh.. would like to take look around first since I'm not sure which flowers I would like to buy. " I said making an excuse. The women nodded with a small smile.

Since it was early in the morning only few people were in the flower shop. I searched for certain type of flower as I waited for him to arrive.
I heard the door bell chime indicating the entry of a customer.

I turned my head towards the door and found the guy I was looking for. He was handsome, no doubt Minho fell for him. His blue hairs and fluffy cheeks made me want to ditch the plan and crush on him instead but then again I don't want to eat wet tissue nor want to get air fried at 180° for 20 mins by Minho himself so I took a step back.

I saw him approach the counter and ask something then he looked at me. Not really, he looked at the flowers behind me. I was just standing there for decoration purposes.

He started walking towards me. I reviewed the plan in my brain keeping the nervousness at the bay. He walked right past me towards the rose section. He took the rose bouquet and went towards the counter to pay. I followed him after picking the bouquet of flower kept beside roses.

" I would like to know the name of these flowers. " I said showing the bouquet of flower to the elderly lady. " Oh nice choice! These are purple Gypsophila. " The lady replied. From the periphery I could see Jisung eyeing the flower.

"Are they in season now? Because I have never seen them before. " I asked the lady.
" Yes they usually bloom in summer. " The lady replied. The door bell chimed indicating entry of one more customer so the lady went to help, leaving me and Jisung on the counter.

'I wonder why he kept quite all this time. Doesn't he want to buy the roses for his mother? ' my thoughts were intrupted when Jisung said, " Do you know they're also known as baby's breath. " I looked at Jisung in surprise, however he continued, " They symbolize everlasting love. "

" You seem to know a lot about them. " I stated, he looked at me and said, " Yeah, I know someone who used to like them. " He was smiling looking at them but he had the kind of look you give a cheesecake when you are on dieting.

" Used to..? Are they not here anymore? " I asked but he gave me a sad smile and said, " He is here but just not with me. " With that he payed for the flowers after the lady came back and left the store.
'Oh no! He is leaving, quick! I should think of a reason to follow him. '

Brain processing...

"Excuse me you forgot- and he left. " The lady said as she called out to him but he left the shop. I looked at the lady, she was carrying a small bag. " Umm may I ask what happened? "
" The young man forgot to take the free chocolate we are giving on our 20th anniversary. " The lady replied.

Idea found!

" I'll give him that! " I took the small bag from her hand without waiting for her response, sprinted towards the door. 'Wow! What a great idea! Not suspicious at all.' Because it's normal for people to chase you if you forgot free chocolates.

I searched around the shop and spotted him walking away. I ran with full speed. " Jisung! " I called out, he stopped abruptly and looked towards me.

" Y-you forgot this. " I said panting slightly. " What is this? " He asked looking at the small bag in my hand. " Chocolates. " I said when I regained my breath.
He just gave me a confused look.

" It was the 20th anniversary of the flower shop so they are giving free chocolates. " I said giving him the small bag.

He just looked at my outstretched hand and said, " Did you run all the way just to give me chocolates? "

" You just looked sad when you were talking about the person who likes purple Gypsophila so I thought maybe chocolates will change your mood. " I replied. He smiled and took the chocolates from my hand.

" Thank you but where are the flowers?" My eyes widened when I noticed that I forgot the flower in the flower shop. "Oh no! I forgot. " I facepalmed myself. He stared at me,waiting for me to go back and retrieve the flowers. Sighing I started walking towards the shop forgetting my plan becuase if I didn't I would be a weird stranger trying to befriend a squirrel. Jisung smiled and walked away after muttering a small thank you.

" So did you find him? " The lady asked as soon as I entered the shop. " Yeah but I forgot the flowers. " I sighed and took the flowers after paying. The lady gave me the small bag of chocolates too. I muttered a small thank you and started to leave.

" Hari! "
'That's Changbin's sis- no not again' I thought and turned towards the owner of the voice. It was Seungmin. 'What is he doing here?'

" What are you doing here? " He voiced my thought. I showed him the flowers. " What are you doing here? " I asked him, he shrugged and started walking.

I looked at him confused but followed him. " You didn't answer my question. " I asked when he kept walking.

" How do you know Jisung? " He suddenly asked. " Uh.. I don't, I just saw him- wait I asked you a question first. " I said crossing my arms. " I was walking down the streets when I saw you. " Seungmin simply stated, even though something didn't feel right I just nodded. " So..? "

" As I said earlier, I don't know him I just saw him in the flower shop. " I mentally pat myself for giving a believable answer. He just hummed and kept on walking.
