Why am I always late?

chapter 08.

Jiun sighs. He really wanted to hang out with Gyueum but since he and Nicky already made plans it made him just walks aimlessly at the corridors of their school until an idea popped into his head.

He didn't have anymore classes and since it was already getting late he ran out of the school. He stopped to take a breath as he reached the pedestrian lane, but while waiting he notices a shorter, but cute guy holding some bags that looks like have some groceries in them. His face was very familiar to Jiun, he beamed a wide smile as he finally recognized the little boy, he shouted for his name as he waved his hand at him.

The little boy also recognized him and waved back at him" Hi wuhyeon, how are you? It doesn't seem like you haven't grown at all" The shorter male just rolled his eyes as he was maked fun off his height again.

"I'm fine, how about you hyung? Have you finally mastered English?" He said as he smirks, but jiun wasn't though. His smile faded as it was replaced with a tired, and annoyed look.

"Look, I'm Korean. Of course I couldn't be that good at English" Jiun replied, wuhyeon looked at him suprised, "hyung, even kindergartens who are Korean can speak 'hello, my name in Jang jiun from class 2-C' "

Jiun shook his head, "no they can't"
"Yes they can, it's only you who can't even pronounce it. And besides I'm also Korean"

"Half Korean" Jiun corrects as soon as wuhyeon finished his sentence. He just rolled his eyes and spotted a beautifully decorated flowershop. Wuhyeon was so impressed of the decorations and the signage of the shop that he dragged Jiun to the door of the flowershop, as they entered they were immediately wowed at the beautiful fairy lights and how the flowers were arranged by colors.

They were startled as they heard two guys greet them, they somehow didn't notice that they were two boys in front of them as they entered the store, Wuhyeon and Jiun also greeted and bowed to them to show their respect. As Wuhyeon walled over to some yellow flowers a guy who had black hair came up to him to probably act as a consultant for when he wanted to ask questions about the flowers or some fun facts about them, leaving Jiun to stand alone the entrance and the cashier who just smiled awkwardly to him.

"Umm do you have white flowers?" He asked as he looked around the store to break the silence. Even though the arrangements made looking for flowers easy it was still hard as there were a lot of flowers with white accents or grayish colors that might look like white because of the lights. The cashier smiled and nodded happily, he left the cash register and walked a bit to the opposite side to where Wuhyeon and the other guy was.

" May I ask why you are looking for a specific color of flowers? Especially white ones" he asked as he rummaged through the flowers that were in pots. Jiun scratched his neck looking for some reasons, or excuses to give to the cashier. "Well actually... I  wanted to visit my dead grandma later in the cementery and since I'm here, I might as well buy her flowers" the cashier's smile faded as he immediately stood up and bowed to him as an apology "oh my gosh I'm sorry, I'm very sorry for asking such an intruding question. Silly me, I should have known" Jiun was shocked but chuckled at the actions the cashier made.

He shook his head and assured him that it was fine, it's not everyday that you go buy flowers from the city just to leave it at the cementery that's close to the countryside. The two boys who left them earlier heard they're commotion and Wuhyeon couldn't help but be confused as he scratched his head.

"Are you alright sir? Is there something bothering you?" The boy asks, "it's just, I'm confused" the boy tilted his head, looked behind them to glance over Jiun and his brother talking. "Do you mean this flower or what your friend just said?"

"What Jiun hyung said" the boys curiosity strucked as he couldn't help but inquire what he means. "What do you mean?" Wuhyeon became quiet for a bit, seemingly weighing the options if he tells him, he wonders if Jiun was talking about the right person. He spoke out, leaving the boy utterly shocked.
