Two more minutes.
He’s pretending to check on his workers on the seventh floor when in reality, he’s actually waiting for something to arrive.
Seventh floor is where Jungwon’s cubicle is and he’s making sure that he’s present when the delivery arrives because he’s feeling extra brave today and he decided to confess publicly. Where all Jungwon’s close friends and workmates could hear and see. He’s ready to risk everything today.
“I have compiled all the files the other teams have sent too,” Taeyong said after stapling the last set of whatever it is that he printed.
“That’s good,” he replied calmly although he is far from being calm inside.
His eyes kept looking at the entrance and it’s making Taeyong send him some strange looks as if he’s weirded out by their boss who currently looks like Dracula because the man is as pale as the papers he’s compiling.
He tore his eyes away from the door and walked to Geonu’s cubicle instead, ready to feign interest on his work when a knock resonated in the unusually quiet room.
A tall man holding a large bouquet of red roses and blue irises entered, “For Mr. Yang Jungwon,” he announced before walking up to the said man.
A chorus of ‘woah’s’ and cheers erupted in the office, some are teasing the guy and poking him at the sides while the others are congratulating him. Jay smiled smugly as he felt a little bit proud of himself.
I think I made the right choice—
Jungwon received the flowers with a warm smile on his face and Jay’s about to approach him when the younger suddenly walked to the door with slight hurry on his steps. The bouquet was immediately shoved on Sunoo’s smiling face as soon as he entered the room making him yelp and gasp at the sudden contact.
“I’m sorry!” Jungwon said before sneezing.
—or not.
Jay looked at the scene with confusion, same as the other workers, as well as the delivery man.
“What,” Sunoo observed the flowers that were shoved on his face, “the hell is this?”
“A bouquet,” Jungwon rolled his eyes before smiling at the bouquet that Sunoo’s holding.
The dimpled man looked at it with a fond smile on his face but not touching it, “It’s really pretty and all and I really do appreciate it a lot because you know, efforts,” he said, “but I think you will love it more since you’re not allergic to it.” He sneezed again right after saying that.
Jay’s eyes widened as soon as he heard that and he’s sure he heard Hanbin gasped near him. How could he not know that? He spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of flowers he should give Jungwon before ultimately deciding on red roses for love and blue irises for hope, not knowing that the other is allergic to it.
He feels stupid.
All the extra courage and the confidence he felt earlier went down the drain and he swear he could hear Sunghoon saying “You’re an idiot!” to him on loop.
If he had picked up the flowers and presented it himself like he had originally planned, he would have been a total clown. The whole floor would either be taking pity on him or mocking him silently. He flinched and cringed at the thought.
Now that the worst had happened, there is no way he’s admitting that he’s the one who sent those. As much as he felt proud of himself for making Jungwon smile fondly like that, he had also triggered the younger’s allergy.
He mentally slapped himself.
Jay quietly excused himself while the people in the office are busy with the sudden surprise. He looked at Jungwon, who was currently laughing at Sunoo who is busy taking pictures with the bouquet, before sighing; he messed up this one on his own. Maybe it’s another sign that says that I need to ask for someone’s help or opinion?
He doesn’t really believe in signs and stuffs like that but he’s sure that he’s going to run out of positivity soon and it’s the only thing he could hold onto right now.
