Namjoon gave Taehyung a strange look and a shrug, "I dunno, act just like how a gardener should act like." Honestly, Namjoon just had about enough with this kid.
The younger frowned and threw his hands up in despair, "That's exactly what I'm asking! Should I be the mysterious, dark gardener who broods in the depths of the garden, who just secretly wants to be loved or-"
"Just act as yourself, that's good enough."

Minji stared at the clock tick by, resting her head against her palm. She had been stacking books in the center's library all day, and as much as she liked this job compared art therapy (which she had to admit she wasn't very good at) on a bleak day like this she found the atmosphere in the library unbelievably boring.
It was another few hours till the lunch bell rang, and since the library was always empty and all the work was done she had nothing much to do. She would sketch up some plans but then what was the use? Most of the plan was already in her head, all that was left was to tell the others at the cafeteria.
Minji needed a change of scenery.
She grabbed a bulky jacket that one of the friendly guards gave her and put it on, smart enough to not risk herself catching hypothermia in the brisk February air.
Minji carefully looked around before pushing the heavy doors open to the garden and wondered around before settling herself on a bench in a secluded part of the garden. The made a mental note to come here often.
Minji shut her eyes and exhaled, suddenly feeling an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. She used to plant alot in her old apartment. Tears started to prickle in her eyes. Just then she heard a rustle in the bushes.
"Um, excuse me? Where you the one who made that noise?"
Minji's eyes fluttered open and came to face with a male in a gardener's uniform, complete with the large shears and rubber gloves. The male's ears where red because of the cold, despite the fact he was wearing thicker clothes than she was.
"What noise?"
"That scream- It gave me a heart attack that made me almost cut off the head of my bush sculpture!" He went on and on, leaving Minji only to listen to the young gardener. Not that she minded. She was surprised when he took a short pause.
"Wait, patients aren't supposed to be out here."
"Well- I needed some fresh air, I did some reading about the facility the other day and I heard the air vents haven't been cleaned out for years." Minji raised her eyebrows for emphasis, it would be bad if a gardener out of all people reported her and ruined her so-called 'good rep'.
To her surprise the gardener just gave her a big grin and a light hearted shrug,
"Oh? I'll make sure to tell someone to get it cleaned out for you then."
