Chapter 1: Peonies

Ignore the mistakes plz :)

Third Person POV

"I've made sure the the room above the shop is clean and well equipped but Mom's quite angry at you, Tae."

Taehyung chuckles as he hears his hyung's voice through the phone while making his way out of the train station and stops for a while to talk to his cousin properly.

"Thanks. I know auntie must be very angry at me but I had no other choice. I'll call her myself and tell her it's more than enough that she offered to stay with you guys in Seoul." Taehyung sighs.

He looks around and makes sure he has all his belongings. He has a big suitcase and a small one and sling bag around him.

He's about step into Seoul and this time, he's here to live and not go back after a few days.

His parents were very emotional when he was leaving but they knew it was his dream to go to Seoul and have his own flower shop.

It was him and his grandparents who were interested in this profession by heart. While his grandparents lived in Seoul already and had the shop, his father had moved to Daegu because of his job and decided to start the family there.

Otherwise he'd be in Seoul already if his father hadn't moved.

His grandfather died and his grandmother was the one running the shop until she passed away seven months ago.

At that time, Taehyung was in his last program of floral designing and had a few months before he could take over the shop.

As his grandparents already gave the shop to him officially, the shop and the room above it are already his and he couldn't be more happy to take the small business to bigger endeavors.

"Well, it's you and your aunt now. You're the only one who can calm her down just like your mother." His aunt's son, Hyungsik utters, making his smile a little.

"I'll handle her. Only I can calm down these two over emotional sisters." Taehyung laughs. His aunt and his mother are sisters.

She lives a good thirty minutes away from the flower shop and he honestly didn't want to be a bother no matter how amazing of a woman she is.

"Good luck with that. You didn't even let me pick you up from the station but please let me know if you need anything, alright?" Hyungsik says and Taehyung hums.

"Will do. I gotta call the cab now. I'll make sure to visit soon."

"You better."

"Okay, okay. Now bye." Taehyung giggles as the phone call ends.

He takes a deep breath and smiles, calls the cab and tucks his phone inside his pocket. He leaves the train station, pulling both his bags behind him and stops himself from skipping on his steps in excitement.

This is going to be a good time!

Taehyung thinks as he happily helps the driver put his bags in the car, looking up at the sky which is darkening with clouds, meaning it will rain soon.

Taehyung loves rain.

He texts Hyungsik and his parents that he's in the cab and will be at the shop soon so they can stop worrying.

Seoul life passes around him as the car moves to the busiest road. Taehyung's flower shop is in the neighborhood where there cozy are cafés, a restaurant and a library as well. It's adjacent to the wealthiest parts of Seoul at one side and the middle economy on the other one.

Best of both worlds, he thinks. It'll be a good business too.

It's the twilight hour but the dark clouds have taken reign today but it's not like Taehyung hates it.
