shuhua was in her garden, among the many pots of colorful flowers

she had carefully placed them in a cool but sunny spot during the day, so that they would survive better

soojin was hidden well enough not to be noticed as she watched the girl and her delicate movements towards the plants

shuhua had left the house with a small blue plastic jug and knelt tenderly in front of the row of pots to water them one by one

having done so, she began to caress their petals delicately, with an anxious and loving smile on her face

the sun made her skin and hair bright, intense and alive as never happened with blue

the blonde, still hidden behind the kitchen window, realized that she had stood staring at the girl and shook her head slightly to recover

what was she doing before she got distracted?
oh yes, she was studying shuhua

she uncapped the pen and took out the slip of paper in which she had written the information dhe had discovered about the mysterious girl

'lives alone with her father'
'has lived here before'
'study from home'

she added at that moment
'loves taking care of flowers'
drawing a small plant next to the information

it was actually a very useless thing to know, but you never know

soojin looked up to analyze the girl again and jumped as soon as she saw that shuhua was looking in her direction

"umh.." soojin said even though she couldn't be heard, raising her hand and waving it slightly as her cheeks went on fire

shuhua greeted her back with a sweet but amused smile at the same time, before nodding her head, inviting her to join her

the blonde was in trouble, she didn't know why but that shuhua worried her a lot

maybe it was a ghost that was going to kill her, or maybe she was just crazy

however, she decided to go down the stairs to reach the black-haired girl

"hey" soojin stammered as she got behind the smaller one

shuhua turned her head towards her and smiled, standing up and shaking her slightly soiled trousers with one hand

"how about going for a walk at the old ice house?" shuhua said, pointing to the grove
