Florabel drove her motorbike along the highway, wearing pants, poloshirt and helmet. When she ran out of gas, she stopped at the gasoline station she usually go.

She removed her helmet, got the key from the motorbike and looked at the gasoline boy. For a moment, the world seemed to stop when she saw the gasoline’s face. Then without noticing her shocked face, she asked: “What is your name?”

“H-Ha?” the gasoline boy asked over.

When Florabel realized her sudden act, she shook her head and tried to regain her pride as a girl: “100 pesos for unleaded please,” she said then put her keys to the hand of the gasoline boy.

“M-Mingyu,” the gasoline boy said as he opened the tank of Florabel’s motorbike.

Florabel blushed and calmed her fluttered heart. She watched the pretty gasoline boy named Mingyu putting the hose to her bike. MIngyu looks so nervous and shivering in front of her. So she thought that maybe, she caused Mingyu’s weird actions.

While Florabel imagining things, she took a glimpse on hose that Mingyu is holding and saw the gas flowing outside the tank of her motorbike!

“Oh my gosh! What are you doing?!” she screamed.

“My god sorry!” Mingyu apologized as he pulling the hose out, “I am so sorry. I was too focused at your face, that I didn’t realized that the gas is flowing.”

Florabel took a deep breath and decided to forgive him. But what shocked her most was to realize that the gas that Mingyu put at her motorbike was diesel! Not unleaded!

“Are you fool?! Why did you put diesel on my motorbike instead of unleaded?! Do you want to ruin my motorbike?!”

Mingyu looked around and gasped; “Aaaa, I thought I put unleaded. Sorry again, hehehehe.”

Florabel looked at him with the most pissed off expression. Then she shouted: “Called your manager!”

Mingyu quickly called the manager of that station and bring him to her.

“Are you training your staff well?! He put diesel on my motorbike?! It will break my bike! What will I do now?!” Florabel keeps on complaining.

“Sorry ma’am, we will definitely fix it,” the manager apologized, while Mingyu is hiding at the back of him.

Florabel stared at Mingyu and muttered: “Nothing but a good looking fool.”

“What did you say?!” Mingyu shouted so the manager stopped him.

“Fix it!” Florabel bawled at him.

“Okay, I will!” Mingyu shouted too.

“Are you angry?!” Florabel screamed and crossed her arms.

“No I’m not!” Mingyu answered in irritating tone.

Hours passed by and Florabel is currently watching Mingyu removing the diesel from her tank. She is getting pissed off by Mingyu’s slow movements. She wanted to stand up and help him to make it faster! After a few minutes, finally, Mingyu has done his work.

He looked at Florabel and said: “I’m done!” then he smiled.

Florabel rolled her eyes, pushed Mingyu away from the tank, grabbed the hose and put the unleaded hose to her tank personally. When she fulled the tank, she pulled the hose and give it to Mingyu. She gave money to Mingyu and ride on her motorbike. But before she drives away…

“Are you really a girl?” Mingyu asked, leaving her speechless.

“Then do I look like a boy? A gay?!”

“Ha? Hmmm,” Mingyu looked at her from head to toe, “The way you dressed the way you speak and the way you move looks so boyish to me.”

“Huh,” Florable burbled, “I’M A GIRL!” she yelled then drove away!

Days passed. Florabel couldn’t forget what Mingyu said. She is a girl in heart, but can’t dressed nor speak like one. So she made her mind up to appear in front of Mingyu with make up on and mini skirt that will revealed her girly side.

With her motorbike, she went to the gasoline station where she knew Mingyu works at. But, she never saw him.

“Thank you for coming maam, have a nice day,” the other gasoline boy who serviced her.

Looking here and there, Florabel asked the gasoline boy named Wonwoo: “Hmmm, can I asked something?”

“What maam?” Wonwoo respond with his bored look.

“Hmmm, where is the other gasoline boy who works here?”

“Who?”

Florabel can’t say his name outloud. So she just said: “Hmmm, t-that tall, dark and handsome man?”

Wonwoo looked up and think. “There was no gasoline boy here that is tall dark and handsome.”

“Oh? That is impossible. Are you sure?”

“Yes, I am not new here so I knew all the gasoline boys here. And I think, I am the only handsome here. Hehe, just kidding.”

Florabel rolled her eyes, put the helmet back on and rode her motorbike.

All of her effort was wasted! She drove her motorbike in the middle of traffic. But because her outfit doesn’t help her to feel comfortable while driving, she accidentally bumped the headlight of an expensive red car!

Her mind went black as she thinks the trouble she caused!

After a few seconds, the owner of that expensive car went out and confronts her. By her surprise, she saw Mingyu, the pretty gasoline boy, that actually was the owner of the car she bumped.

“Oh? You!” Mingyu pointed her.

“W-What are you doing here? Are you the owner of that car?!”

“Yes, the car you bumped.”

Florabel looked at him from head to toe. She is too confused! How can a gasoline boy afford this kind of expensive car?!

“But I saw you at the gasoline station!” she yelled out of frustration.

“Ofcourse!” Mingyu smiled, “I am the owner of that gasoline station too.”

“What?! Then why do you act like a gasoline boy that time?!”

“Actually, I already knew you since the first time you went to our station. From the office, I watched you from the distant every time you came. That day, when you first met me, I’ve got the chance to asked you about the thing I am confused about you.”

“About what?”

“I want to ask if you are a….” Mingyu looked at her from head to toe. Suddenly he blushed and huskily said, “You really are a girl, a very beautiful one.”

The traffic enforcer went to them and asked, “Hey, how are you going to settle this sir and ma’am? The traffic is getting worse.”

Mingyu answered like this while looking at Florabel: “We can settle this right away. If the lady in my front will agree to have a dinner with me tonight.”
