The Florist

III

Nayeon was busy arranging flowers at her shop when a man enters.

"Hey, you gotta help me. I really need a flower. A bouquet perhaps? I need the best one." The man said.

"Okay. Any specific type?"

"Anything, please this is my last chance!"

"Your last chance?"

"I really blew it up." The man said sadly. "Only flowers can save me. Perhaps roses? What would a red rose say?"

"Red roses means love."

"Love's nice. That could work."

"Love and fidelity." Nayeon said.

"Not a rose then."

"No?"

"No, not a rose."

"If this is really your last chance, then we should really find you something spectacular."

As Nayeon and the man were conversing, she heard the store bell ring and saw Mina entering her shop.

"Oh hey, I'll be right with you." Nayeon said to Mina while smiling.

"Okay." Mina said as she look at some of the flowers.

"How about you look at some flowers to decide what's your last chance flowers?" Nayeon said to the man.

When the man nodded and looked at some flowers, Nayeon then headed to Mina.

"Hey again. How are you doing?" Nayeon said

"I've been doing great. I'm just here to uh.."

"To?"

"To say thank you. You know, with the flowers."

"Oh it was my pleasure."

An akward silence then covered the room. To get rid of the silence, Nayeon was the first one to talk.

"So.. what's your favorite flower?" Nayeon asks.

"I really don't know, maybe lillies?" Mina replies.

"Oh that's nice."

An awkward silence then again covered the room. But this time Mina was the first one to talk.

"Okay uh.. do you want to have dinner?" Mina asks nervously.

"I'm sorry?" Nayeon replied confusely.

"Dinner. With Jeno and I. I mean you don't have to-"

"I would love to!" Nayeon replies ecstatically.

"Really? How about this Friday?" Mina said while showing her gummy smile.

"Alright. Friday it is." Said by Nayeon, also smiling.

"I'll just uh.. I'll write the address. Do you have any paper?"

"Yeah." Nayeon said as she get a paper and a pen. "Here you go."

Mina then went to write the address. "I need to go. See you on Friday?"

"Yeah, see you."

As Mina went out of the shop, the man went to Nayeon.

"I finally found my last chance flowers! I'll take these please."

"Alright."

"Wish me luck."

"Good luck."
