"How can I help you?"

Lee Donghyuck stands in front of Mark, holding one of the flowerpots in his hand. He titled his head, beaming a smile.

"D-Donghyuck..."

Mark widened his eyes. He was in so much shock.

He clutched his chest, feeling his heart race, each beat a thunderous echo of the surprise he's seeing.

How he didn't notice the honey curls the moment he walked in; he was too dazed to even be realized.

"Yes, how can I help you?" The tanned says it so calm, he didn't react much seeing Mark presence standing frozen in front of him.

Mark breaks his trance, shaking his head rapidly. "Donghyuck, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

And Mark gotta be 100% sure he wasn't hallucinating or seeing things again. He actually subtly did slap his cheeks.

"Do you need help in finding flowers?" He asked again, this time with his brows furrowed.

"It's me... why are you behaving like this."

Mark moves closer to the tanned, he had missed him so much. He wanted to bury into an embrace and just hold him tight.

"I'm sorry Mr Mark, I'm asking you once again. Do you need help?"

Mark saw the glistened eyes of the tanned, his plump lips pursed together, avoiding the shiny tears forming in his brown orbs.

Mark heaved in; he didn't know why Donghyuck was acting up. He had hurt the tanned so much that he's even going to pretend not to know Mark, he didn't even flinch hearing Mark calling his name.

Everything seems so familiar to him; the way Yuta asked him to go. Seeing Donghyuck was the same way they had met for the first time.

And that's when he decided to go along with it, probably to see whether it's the right thing or not.

"My friend told me to come here if I needed a peace in mind..." he spoke first, clearing his throat and blinking the teary eyes away.

"What do you mean?" Donghyuck chuckled.

"They said I can find beautiful things here, and they were damn right..."

Mark tried not to utter too sadly; he took a long breath before saying it too.

Donghyuck twitch a smile on his corner lips. "Come, I'll show you my favorite flower."

Donghyuck lend his hand out for Mark to hold. Mark slowly placed it on top before the tanned usher him inside.

"Can you guess?" Donghyuck asked, swaying their hands back and forth.

"Sunflower?" Mark simpered; he never fails to maintain his fondness eyes contact for the tanned.

The tanned nodded his head, standing in front of sunflowers near the stall massive window.

"What do you like about it?" Donghyuck asked again, pulling one out from the vase, giving it to Mark.

Mark caresses it's petal, brushing off few seeds that was falling, he fiddles with the flower in circle. "I think sunflowers are ..."

"Effortlessly captivating..."

The two of them said it together, lifting their gaze for each other to meet. Donghyuck giggles again, how it was Mark's favorite melody and he love it still.

Unknowingly Mark hands move to Donghyuck's cheek. His hand was shaky even when it's still an inch away to touch the tanned delicate skin.

"Why are you doing this?" Mark asked, having his eyes flooded.
