Jin's POV

"Please explain yourself, Jin." Namjoon stared at me with his arms crossed. The new worker, Sungjae, is seated next to Namjoon, also staring at me.

The store was filled with a deafening silent. Namjoon closed the store temporarily, so "no one would disturb us". I don't understand what's the big deal; I just picked out some flowers for his shop. I woke up at 6am for that, so why is he interrogating me like I stole those flowers?

"Um... Can we just talk-" I started, but stopped once I saw Namjoon and Sungjae shake their heads at the same time.

I sometimes wonder if Namjoon is actually my boyfriend.

I guess I have no choice then. Better do this quick so I can go home.

Flashback

I forced opened my swollen eyes and glanced at the clock. It's a little over 6am. I don't know why but I just wake up at 6 naturally without an alarm clock. Well at least I don't feel sleepy despite waking up this early in the morning.

I received a text from my boss notifying me that there will be no work today. I guess I will just take a morning walk like I always do. My boyfriend would still be sleeping, so I can't text him or anything.

I headed outside and went around my house, into the forest behind it. This time I took a different path, just because I felt like it. Besides, I've walked the other trail thousands of time and it's getting boring.

As I hiked deeper into the woods, I smell the sweet scent of flowers, and it was really strong, almost as if someone sprayed perfume right next to me. I kept walking, attracted by the tantalizing aroma.

After a few minutes I came across an opening in the forest and I saw the prettiest flowers I have ever seen in my life.

End of Flashback

"Are you talking about these flowers?" Sungjae pointed to the bundle of flowers that was sold to his customer not long ago.

"Yes, and you have to agree with me right? This flower is even prettier than me!" I exclaimed.

Namjoon and Sungjae just stared at me like I was crazy. Do you know that emoji with three lines as its eyes and mouth? Well they looked like that emoji.

"What? I'm just going to continue with my story then."

Flashback (continued)

I thought maybe I could pick a bunch of these and send it to Namjoon's flower shop, but I looked around and saw a wooden house right behind the field of flowers. Maybe these flowers belongs the owner of the house, but there were tons of flowers in the garden, even if I picked some no one would notice right?

So I started picking a few farthest from the wooden house.

After 5 minutes I was about to stand up and leave when a pair of shoes landed right in front of me. I knew I was caught so I stood up quickly and bowed to apologize.

"I'm sorry I picked your flowers, it was too pretty... You can have them back, and I can pay you back too... I'm really sorry." I was a bit scared but he didn't shout at me or anything so I guess I'm fine.

"It's fine, take them, I have loads of them anyways." I straightened my body and looked at the owner. He was...younger than I expected, and he was actually good looking too.
