"good evening, sir! what kind of flowers will you give to your girl?" asked the worker. seokjin smiled, he already knew what to get his soon to be girl.
"a bouquet of Smeraldi, please." ordered seokjin. the worker smiled then drifted off to get seokjin's command.
(a/n: based on google, Smeraldi is the plural of Smeraldo. it just sounded wrong to write 'Smeraldo' itself idk i jUST HAD TO sOrry)
after a few minutes, the worker came back with the bouquet seokjin was asking for. he paid for it then headed out.
thankfully, the coffee shop they were gonna meet in was not too far from the flower shop. so seokjin decided to just walk.
when he reached the coffee shop, he had a lot of thoughts about going in the coffee shop or not. after a lot of unanswered questions, he decided to just wait outside.
with the bouquet of Smeraldi, seokjin waited patiently. when seokjin opened ara's journal on the second page, he saw that Smeraldo was in her bucket list. since Smeraldo is not a very common kind of flower, she wanted to at least see it.
but as seokjin really wanted to give ara that flower, he gave a huge amount of money on the flower shop. he put the flowers near his nose and took a few sniffles, he could imagine how happy ara would be.
after two months of talking, seokjin had been attached to ara already. and luckily, she is too.
after a few minutes of waiting, a voice was heard from afar. "seokjin!" he leaned towards the direction of where the voice came from and saw ara on the other side of the road. she was waving to seokjin with a smile.
seokjin was fluttered. butterflies started to fly all over his stomach up to his heart that made its thumping fast. but he managed to give her a smile and a wave back.
ara smiled and mouthed: "i'm coming, wait for me." then seokjin nodded. he can't avoid but give all his attention to her. lights from different vehicles were on, but ara was shining differently.
it was like a box of glazed doughnuts and ara was the only one who has chocolate flavored. she was wearing a printed shirt tucked in a denim skirt then she finished it off with a pair of white converse.
seokjin's smile was never erased as he was filled with bliss that in just a few seconds, he can finally see the girl he saved up close.
seokjin was too immersed in ara's beauty that he was too shocked when ara was pointed with a really bright light then was soon pushed down on the ground. blood started to flow out from her head, people started running to her.
but for seokjin, time stopped. he dropped the bouquet of Smeraldi and so as dropping of tears from his eyes. he can't believe it. both his feet were covered in ice, he wasn't able to move any muscle.
he can't believe the chance of him laughing and smiling with ara just ended there. is life supposed to be this cruel?
