AUTHOR POV~

Y/N stormed off from the flower field, her emotions tangled and heavy, heading straight to Minji's restaurant. She needed to talk to someone, away from the farm and all its drama.

She found Minji and Taehyun outside, sitting on a bench, deep in conversation. As soon as they saw her, Minji noticed her sad and gloomy expression and patted the bench beside her gesturing her to sit.

"What happened, Y/N? Why do you look so gloomy?" Minji asked, her voice filled with concern.

Y/n opened her mouth to reply, but Taehyun cut her off, his voice laced with frustration. "It's Jungkook, isn't it? What did he do this time?"

Y/N, not wanting to dive into the details, sighed and said, 'Taehyun, can I just have a coffee? I don't want to talk about him right now."

Taehyun, sensing her need to escape, nodded and went inside to prepare her drink.

But Minji wasn’t ready to let it go. "Y/N we’re friends. You can tell me what's going on. Last time, you said you would. So what did Jungkook do?"

She hesitated, then finally with a small, weary smile, admitted "Jungkook took all my bank cards. He's practically cut me off because I bought some gadget." Her voice was low, eyes fixed on the ground as if trying to hide the humiliation she felt.

Minji's frustration was palpable. "What's his problem? He's acting like a child!!" she exclaimed, shaking her head in disbelief.

Just then, Taehyun returned with a warm smile, trying to lighten the mood. "Here you go, Miss. Y/N. Enjoy your coffee and this mangosteen ice cream, made by our great chef Minji herself."

Her face lit up, her mood lifting slightly. "Thank you" she said, her voice softening as she gave them both a grateful smile. Her eyes sparkled for a moment, and Minji couldn't help but smile back.

"That's the smile I want to see. It really suits you" minjj said pulling her into a side hug, patting her back like a comforting older sister.

But in Minji's mind, she had already decided that she needed to talk to Jungkook about his behavior. This couldn’t continue.

It had been a week since Y/n last talked to Minji, and now she was missing her. Deciding to reach out, she called her up.

"Hello, Minji!! Could you come by the rose garden? The plants are growing beautifully. I'd love to show you" she said her excitement bubbling in her voice.

Minji chuckled on the other end of the line, "I'd love to. I'll be there soon in the afternoon."

Feeling a wave of happiness wash over her, she headed to the rose garden. She placed her phone and wallet on a bench under the shed and started trimming the rose plants with Jun, Aod, Kaew, and Iseul helping her out.

As they worked, Iseul suddenly noticed a small boy trying to sneak off with Y/N's wallet. She shouted "Hey..!! You little guy, what are you doing?"

Jun and Kaew quickly ran over and caught the boy, bringing him to Y/N. Tensed she knelt down to his level, her voice warm and gentle "Who are you?" She wasn’t scolding him, just curious to know.

Jun stepped in "Miss Y/N this is Yun, one of the worker's kids here. But I didn't know he’d try to steal a wallet. Yun, you're in trouble now. I'll tell your mother, and she'll give you a good beating."

Yun, terrified, started to cry "No, no I didn't steal anything. Please don't tell my mother." He began rolling around on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Y/n chuckled softly, then gently held his arm, pulling him up. "Hey, Yun listen to me, you handsome little guy" she said, her tone soothing. Yun, still sniffling, looked at her with big, teary eyes.
