Days later, the atmosphere in the flower shop was filled with the sweet scent of blooms and bursts of laughter. The chime of the doorbell rang frequently as customers came and went in a steady stream. The shop that once-quiet had come alive, buzzing with energy.
The renovations of the shop seemed to have worked better than expected. Business was booming, leaving Fan Jam with barely any time to catch her breath.
Amid the chaos, Ploy Napphan had started spending nearly every day at the shop. She helped Fan Jam arrange flowers, greet customers, and even made her coffee during the busiest times.
The way they looked at each other, the gestures they exchanged, it was clear to anyone watching that their relationship had grown into something far beyond just "acquaintances".
Even the shop employees, such as Lubpad and Veena, couldn’t help but notice and start speculating.
“Hey, Veena,”
Lubpad whispered softly while they were arranging a bouquet.
“I think... I think Fan and Ploy are... more than friends.”
Her voice was low, her cheeks turning pink.
“I’m kind of ship them,”
She added with a shy laugh.
Veena glanced up from the rose arrangement she was working on and followed Lubpad’s gaze toward Ploy Napphan and Fan Jam, who were arranging a floral vase together on the other side of the shop.
The two were giggling and exchanging sweet smiles. Veena’s heart skipped a beat; she knew exactly what Lubpad meant.
“You think so too?”
Veena asked quietly, trying to suppress a grin.
“It’s so sweet it’s like ants are going to swarm the shop. No way they’re just regular friends.”
Lubpad nodded in agreement, her face flustered.
“Totally! When Ploy arrived earlier, Fan’s smile was so wide it practically split her face,”
She said excitedly.
“And Ploy takes such good care of Fan Jam, handing her things, making her coffee, it’s like they can read each other’s minds.”
Her voice filled with excitement.
“Right?!”
Veena said with equal excitement.
“Yesterday, when Ploy brought snacks for Fan, I swear I saw Fan blushing so hard. It was adorable.”
She glanced at Fan Jam again.
“Honestly, I think Ploy is just perfect for Fan,”
She said confidently.
“She’s here at the shop almost every day.”
Lubpad nodded enthusiastically.
“Yeah, Ploy really cares about Fan,”
She continued.
“Do you remember that time when Ploy helped lift those heavy flower pots?”
“I saw P’Fan looking at P’Ploy with that kind of gaze... oh, it could melt anyone,”
Lubpad said.
“Melt how? Melt how?”
Veena asked eagerly, her curiosity piqued.
Lubpad made a dreamy expression.
“Like... like the whole world stopped spinning, and there was only P’Ploy,”
