HOPELESS LOVE [CHOI SEUNGCHEOL]

CH: 34

Seungcheol

After checking out four shops already, we were on the way to the fifth one. Three shops we checked, they ran out of this flower we needed, and are not taking orders for the wedding, Shasha looked tired after getting the same reply, again and again, I can understand her. And the fourth shop had wisteria flowers but they said they won't be able to take the order for the wedding because they are not sure if they will be able to get enough flowers till the wedding and they won't be able to take up the order for wedding for sure.

I asked Shasha, what about her shop. She said these flowers are hard to find and getting the flowers delivered here is not easy and that's why she rarely keeps these flowers in her shop, another reason, she told me was she doesn't have the right amount of wisteria flower for the wedding at the point and getting that much of flower would be a little bit difficult considering the wedding is in ten days.

"It's already 6:30 pm" she spoke, thankfully we have been taking breaks in between and enjoying street food at times, I was enjoying my time with her. "Is it?" I asked focusing on the road.

"Yes" she sighed, I wanted to ask her, is she tired? Or why would she sigh? She sighed again, I opened my mouth to speak and she spoke, "you must be bored right? And I actually took your day off, all because of Soobin" I stopped the car in traffic and looked at her, she was leaning her head on the window, and a chuckle escaped my mouth unknowingly. She turned her head to look at me, "why are you laughing?" she frowned, I like the way her mood shifts from time to time.

"I am not bored and don't worry, about my day off. And thanks to Soobin, I am getting to know a lot about flowers, after all, my soon-to-be wife is a florist and I should have some knowledge about flowers or else how am I going to know about the flowers you love?" her face told me she was shocked and flustered; she looks when she is flustered and blushes because of me. I turned to look at the traffic lights and it was a green signal, so I started driving. I didn't mean to use the word wife but I didn't lie when I told her these words, I meant it. I wanted to know everything about flowers because of her because they are so precious to her and especially her favorite flowers Azaleas I want to know more about them because of them and what's the reason she loves them. I wanted to know who was the reason for Azaleas and the smile behind Azaleas, a warm feeling engulfed me, I will ask her maybe one day.

"You-you didn't have to say that" she stuttered as expected, she is just cute.

"But I meant it, anyway don't overthink and I am using my day off in a very productive way, I love to be productive." I stopped the car in the parking area, we reached the fifth shop she mentioned earlier.

"And we reached" I turned to look at her, she was looking outside, this flower shop was looking way too luxurious than the ones we visited earlier. I got out of the car and went to open the door for her. She stepped outside the car and looked at me.

"Let's go inside" she nodded; we went to the shop.

The moment we stepped inside the shop the strong fragrance of the roses hit me, it felt so good. I was always fascinated to visit the flower shops but never knew I felt so lively around flowers, they take away my worries and ease my mind a lot. "I love this place already," she told me, "let's be positive about this" she nodded.

"Hello" we went to the receptionist, "Hello ma'am and sir, what flowers do you need?" he asked looking at Shasha. He smiled so big looking at her, the feeling of protectiveness engulfed me, the way he was smiling at me... why was I feeling like this?

"Actually we need flowers for the wedding, the wedding is in ten days" he nodded and looked at her, I could tell the way he was looking at her, "Which flowers?"

"Wisteria. I need this for wedding decorations, is it possible to order?"

"Surely," Shasha smiled so big; she looked at me and then the receptionist. I could tell she wanted to jump in happiness, "but depends on whose wedding, your wedding or?" I looked at the receptionist,

"not my wedding, my sister's wedding" she laughed, and he laughed with her, "I was joking ma'am" I glared at him. I wanted to know where are the other workers. Or is he the only worker here?

"We will take your order and please do talk to our other worker who would be the in-charge of taking this order, she is arranging flowers over there, please talk to her and tell her all the details about the wedding so we could prepare according to that."

"Thank you so much, you don't know how I feel, literally like I searched other shops and no one was ready to take up the order for the wedding and I am so glad you're taking the order." He smiled at her, yes AT HER.

"there's nothing to be thankful of, we are just doing our job. Now go and talk to her, I will call her" he turned to look at the girl who was working at the other corner. "Lily please talk to this pretty lady, we are taking her order." And he gestured us to talk to Lily. Shasha smiled at him before walking toward Lily.

Soon, we took a seat opposite Lily, and Shasha was discussing about everything, how the decorations would be and how to set up the flowers and the colours, just about everything, it looked so fascinating, she looked so passionate about it while talking. I was admiring her. The way she was smiling at Lily at times just made me feel better.

After half an hour, they were done.

"Okay so, I will do the advance payment and I'll pay the remaining amount after the wedding or on the wedding day. Hope that works?" Lily nodded, please tell this to Kyung, the receptionist. Lily bowed and so did we. We walked towards the reception, "Kyung, I will do the advance payment now and will pay the remaining later"

"Okay, let me do the billing." Lily walked toward Kyung and gave the paper and Kyung typed it out and calculated, so, your name "Shasha,"

"So, Shasha I will need the card for advance payment, you can pay the remaining later either after the wedding or on the wedding day" she smiled at him AGAIN. And I could tell he was trying to be friendly. But more than friendly.

She gave him her card, and after the payment, he returned the card to her, and I saw their fingers brushing, Kyung smiled at her, more like a blush crept on his face. Was he really blushing because of Shasha? My fiancé?

"Thank you for ordering Shasha and don't worry about the wedding, we will do it perfectly." She smiled at him, "thank you Kyung"

"thankyou again, be safe on your way home" she smiled and we came out of the shop, "he was so sweet" I looked at her, with disbelief "he was clearly trying to flirt with you"

"you think too much" I am a guy Shasha, I can tell. I walked towards our car, how can she not know he was trying to flirt with her and she was being her usual self yet she was smiling so big every time she talked with him.

"Seungcheol are you mad?" I stopped, she was looking at me, was I mad? I don't think so. Or am I?

"I am not, why would you think I am mad?" I tried to be cool about it, I walked towards the driver's seat and before she got into the car, she said "no, nothing. Forget it I asked you." I got into the driver's seat.

"Finally it's done and now we can go home." She smiled brightly, "yes I am glad everything's done."

"Now I can finally go and rest, after dinner I am going to sleep directly, I am so tired by now, it's already 7 pm" I chuckled at her, I could tell she needed some good rest, "Don't laugh, you have to drive, I will just sit here. For your information, it might take more than two hours and if get into traffic then it's worse. Hopefully, we make it till 9 pm to my house"

"Yes, yes, don't worry. You can even rest now since I will be driving and if we get late we can just have dinner somewhere and go back home, is that okay with you?" she looked like she was thinking, "works with me"

"Okay then, let's go" I just had one thing in my mind, I will have dinner with her today outside, and I was so happy. I started driving the car.
