The Mysterious Rose (KhunFany)

15: Taking the rose home

15: Taking the rose home.

Once their meeting was over, Tiffany quickly exited the gym and went to the rooftop garden. As she was on her way there, Nichkhun was able to catch her before she disappeared. He smiled and asked her what she was up to.

"I'm taking the Rose home." Tiffany said as Nichkhun raised an eyebrow. "But the Rose in the pot is heavy, right? Can you even carry it?" Nichkhun asked. "Of course I can. I'm a strong girl, duhh." She said while opening the door to the rooftop.

Like the old days when the two came at the top, the wind greeted them as they quietly made their way to the Rose patch.

"Y-you have a 3 hour shift at the Starry 5 cafe, right?" Nichkhun asked as Tiffany nodded but said nothing. "C-can I walk you there?" He asked, his cheeks turning red as he looked down. "I don't know." Tiffany said while taking a piece of cloth and started wiping the dirt off the pot.

"I insist to." Nichkhun said as Tiffany nodded. "Yeah, sure." She said while turning the pot. Nichkhun saw a petal that was close from falling and he decided to pull it. Tiffany saw this and she quickly smacked Nichkhun's hand.

"Don't you dare touch it." Tiffany said while scrunching her nose, not noticing how cute this had made her. Nichkhun smiled as he said, "I'm sorry." Once he said that, Tiffany rolled her eyes while continuing scrubbing the dirt off the pot.

Some moments later when the pot was clean and can be carried now, Tiffany stood up, placing the cloth away and started lifting it up.

Nichkhun, who was just by her side, quietly observed her and saw that Tiffany was having a hard time lifting it. The pot almost toppled down but luckily, Nichkhun caught it, his hands on top of Tiffany's as he lifted the pot up.

"Let me carry it." Nichkhun said as Tiffany rolled her eyes before they could notice the contact on their hands. Nickhun smiled, again as Tiffany looked down and said, "I-I think it's better if you carry the Rose." She said as Nichkhun chuckled. "Sure." He said while taking the pot away from her and placed it back to its former spot.

Tiffany stared at him for a minute before quietly taking Nichkun's backpack. "W-whatー" Nichkhun looked over his back and saw Tiffany. "What're you doing?" He asked as Tiffany looked down.

"Well, since you're going to carry my Rose, I thought that it would be nice if I carry your bag so that you'll have an easy time." She said as Nichkhun hummed. "B-but it's okay if you don't want to." Tiffany added as Nichkhun quietly took his backpack and gave it to Tiffany. "Good idea, Tiff." He said as Tiffany took it and looked away.

"You don't need to get embarrassed, Tiffany. It's alright." Nichkhun added before touching Tiffany's chin and making her look at him. "You're such a cutie." He mumbled as Tiffany gulped, her mind and body went a bit numb. She tried moving but failed to do so.

They simply stayed at that position for seconds.

Nichkhun smiled while Tiffany's eyes widen before taking Nichkhun's hand and letting it go.

"You flirt." She mumbled as Nichkhun laughed. "Aish. Come on now or if you're still going to flirt with me, I'm going to be late." Tiffany said while slinging Nichkhun's backpack at her back. "Yeah, right." Nichkhun said while carrying the Rose.

Minutes later...

"Hey there, Nichkhun." Woo Hyuk smiled as Nichkhun entered the employees room and placed Tiffany's rose on a seat nearby. "Hey, man." Nichkhun returned the smile as Tiffany blew her bangs up. "Okay, okay. Stop giving Travers some googly-eyes, Woo Hyuk. It's disgusting." Tiffany said before pushing Nichkhun out of the employees room.
