CHAP 12: AMARYLLIS

Jungkook wouldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams, one day he would be standing in a flower store staring at the flowers he had no idea about. Yet here he was, standing at one of the stores staring at the exotic flowers chosen by his girl.

"Which one do you think would be good?" Y/n asked, as they roamed around taking a view at pastel flowers. He sighed in annoyance for the hundredth time in the last fifteen minutes.

"I still don't get why you need to gift Taehyung anything?"

"Because he's your best friend not mine. And I can't visit him on his birthday party empty handed."

He scoffed. " I don't get the point of wasting tons of money on flowers. Too materialistic and unreal." 

"Has anyone ever gifted you flowers?" She grinned, asking him while her eyes wondered at the orchids and lilies that she thought would be a perfect match to gift.

"No. Thankfully. I don't do flowers and diamonds anyways." He groaned again, feeling bored and perforated.

"Well then, Mr Jeon." She interrupted,  grabbing him by his arm. "I hope I can be your first in this one." Her fingers delicately tucked the pink coloured amaryllis in his chest pocket.

"Y/n, what are you-"

"Shh.." she placed her finger on his soft lips that she wanted to kiss so bad. "Let it stay there for a while. I know it feels foreign but atleast let it stay there. If you don't like it, you can throw it away. I won't force you, I promise."

His heart thumped so fast, he felt he was hyper ventilating. It was such a sweet, simple gesture. But that one moment made him shiver for the first time. It was pure, no seduction, only care.

"Well.." he cleared his throat, taking a step back to finally breath. "..what's this flower anyways? Haven't seen it here."

"It's Amaryllis. Well it is said that a shy maiden named Amaryllis fell in love with a shepherd by the name of Alteo, who was graced with the strength of Hercules and the beauty of Apollo. Amaryllis, obviously head over heels for Alteo , dressed in white and patiently waited outside Alteo’s door for thirty nights. Alteo fell in love with her the moment he discovered her outside his door, surrounded by beautiful amaryllis flowers. And so, amaryllis became a symbol of strength, determination, honesty and ethereal beauty."

"Hmm.." he hummed, while they walked through the rows. "You're all about love and love stories, aren't you?"

Her eyes twinkled. "Yeah. That's what I have grown up reading."

She stepped closer. Her eyes fell on his plush lips. His gaze followed hers. He didn't want to dishearten her but he couldn't kiss her as well.

"Y/n.." he called her out. "Since you have gifted me this as a symbol depicting honesty. I have a confession to make."

"What?"

"I don't kiss. I can't kiss." 

Her eyes fell down, and she took a step back, but he quickly averted her back into his arms.

"I am sorry. I should have told to you this earlier."

"No." She shook her head. "That's absolutely fine. But do you like have germophobia?" 

His lips dissolved into laughter, his voice ringing in the aisles. "Ahh, baby." He brushed her cheeks. "It's nothing like that. Kissing is just my, to speak in your words, my hard limit."

"Well if that's your hard limit then, you have my words. I wouldn't ever force you to do something you don't want to. I am happy with whatever part of yourself, you are offering to me. As long as it is complete, I don't mind it."
