Flowers (Zico Short Story)

Chapter One

[enjoy this short Zico story! The main character is going to be you so keep that in mind that (Y/N) means your name]

Chapter One

You spoke into the phone quickly as people started yelling orders around, "I gotta go make sure everyone's set for the cameras."

"Call me as soon as you can... And bring them home so I can see them."

"Okay, don't worry I will." You hung up the phone on your good friend, Grace. Your gaze fell once again upon the vase of flowers. 'Who sent them?' You wondered. Hopefully not some creep... But either way you felt light, happy that someone would take notice of you in a way like this- you've never been one for the dating scene and what not. But still, you had no idea at all who would've sent these to you, maybe a name would've been nice to go along with them.

You're now on your third year of working at Mnet, so they decided to have you work on Show Me The Money 4 as a head technical a manger type person. Apparently they have high hopes... You do enjoy rap and hip hop just, you weren't sure about working on the show. Luckily all your worries were diminished seeing how chill everyone was and how smoothly the show ran. People were definitely grateful to have your skills on board.

Rushing around you had to make sure everyone was set to preform in front of the Producers. You're not sure how they do it... Just having to spend a minute in front of them would be absolutely nerve wracking for you.

"Thanks (Y/N) for being so great~" one of the contestants in which you had your first encounter with said wrapping an arm around you. Boy did you wish it wasn't Blacknut. He's definitely funny, but that's probably the only trait you like about him (from what you've seen).

"Uh... Well, you're welcome... You should probably go sit and watch the others perform..." You said scuffling away. Easily you could hear some snickers behind you making fun of Blacknut. Why does he call himself that? It's really obnoxious...

"I'll see you." He winked. You just simply shook your head in annoyance. Never have you had to deal with a guy like him- oh no... Please don't be the anonymous flower sender. Immediately you felt a pit form in your gut making a sick feeling arise.

Then again, would he be able to be considerate enough to even do such a sweet gesture- nope. Probably not since he was the one who dropped his pants... (So you heard).

"Alright guys get ready!" Soon all the contestants who made it to the second round sat in the waiting room.

You went around making sure everyone knew what to do once they got out on stage. They were all nervous and just seemed to nod when you said anything... Not your fault if they mess something up.

"(Y/N)!" A certain idol rapper waved you over.

"Hey Mino what's up?"

"Not much... Sit with me?"

"Ah sure." You and Mino became friends immediately after you stood up for him back during auditions. The cameras weren't rolling and some guys started making rude comments. Being someone who doesn't like others being put down like that- the good worker in you stepped in shooing the 'no-necklaces' away, "nervous?"

"Yeah... But I'm still confident." Mino flashed a smile.

"I'm sure you'll be fine."

"I hope. Can't wait to hear how many people diss me though."

"You're tough, you can handle it- if it were me, I'd just run away crying." You chuckled.

"Now that would be quite the performance!"

You playfully slapped his shoulder, receiving some looks, "Ah rude mister!"

"Hah sorry... So have you found out who sent you the flowers? I've been trying to figure it out myself." Mino's the only one you're sure didn't send them, so you're using him as your inside man.

"I'm getting a nagging feeling it's Blacknut." You groaned.

"Now that'd be hilarious."

"If you two pass could you try to check it out?"

"If we pass? We know I am... But yeah I'll check it out. Though I don't think he's that much of a gentleman...."

"That's what I thought too!"

You two high fived, "great minds think alike!"

Eventually your guys conversation dropped and you just sat and watched the performances. Some were amazing, but then some were cringe worthy like Vernon's. How is he an idol?

Soon enough (though probably not for him), Mino's name was called.

"You got this! Fighting~" you encouraged.

"I'll see in a minute!" He beamed confidently walking towards out of the room. Everyone had gone quiet, just staring, waiting to see what he was going to do.

***

Finally, second round of Show Me The Money 4 was over... It was actually long and semi tedious- for you at least. Mino had passed (as expected by most), so that meant you got to keep a friend on the show. You did think it was strange how people would just announce that he was going to win.

Seeing as you gotten most of your work done, you decided to head home. You gathered up most of your belongings making sure you had what you needed.

Flowers...? Check. Grace has to see these.

"Ah (Y/N)-ssi, hold up."

"M-Mr. Zico!" You bowed slightly flustered. The two of you have talked in the past, but he never fails to leave such an impression on you.

"Just call me Jiho, please." Zico smiled kindly.

"Oh of course sir- Jiho!" Again you bowed.

He chuckled, "I was wondering if you could help me for the next shooting with my ear piece. It was a bit off today and Tablo said you were probably the one to have help."

"I'd be happy to." You blushed, "can't have any technical issues now can we?"

"Not at all... And the flowers?" Eventually you realized that Zico had begun walking you out of the building.

"Someone left them for me..." You smiled, "I'm very surprised, but absolutely flattered. I've never received such a sweet gesture before."

"Oh that's nice... Any idea who?"

"Well Mino and I have teamed up trying to find out... Our suspicions are on Blacknut for now."

"Him? Really?"

"He keeps flirting with me so..." You simply just shrugged. Why does he look offended?

"I'd be surprised if it was him..."

"I hope it's not. Hey thanks for walking with me." You bowed.

"Anytime. Get home safe, kay?" With a friendly wave he started walking back towards the entrance.

'He's so cute,' you thought to yourself... Yep, slowly but surely you've begun to crush on the Zico. In your opinion he's one of the best rappers in the media (besides Jay Park... Like have you seen him shirtless?!).... Apart of you really wished he had sent the gift, but that was just a school girl hope which was probably so far fetched. Oh well, a girl can dream.

But little did you know, the flowers were from the very rapper you had a crush on.
