Hoseok hummed to the tune of the song the radio was blaring to. He had no idea what he was humming to but, the song was just very catchy. As he hummed, Hoseok continued to water his plants that were on sale inside his flower shop.

Hoseok's flower shop: Sunshine's Flower, didn't really get much attention from the people living around the area of his store location. It was a busy street after all, filled with people roaming around, carrying their briefcases and bags, on their way going to their own work place.

Hoseok didn't mind that at all, he just wanted to sell the flowers that he had grown with his own hard work, pouring his passion towards flowers and hoping that people in the street would one day, come to his shop regularly to share the same passion.

Usually, people would just drop in the store once in a while to buy flowers for a special occasion, like an anniversary or a birthday and such. There were a small number of people who actually bought flowers to grow them.

While Hoseok worked in the flower shop, he was never alone. His younger brother; Jimin would take care of the flower shop with Hoseok too. Jimin never really wanted to take care of the flower shop at first because he had other plans for life since he was still going to school. But the flower shop has been passed on from generation to generation, so every part of the member must have the initiative to take care of it.

Hoseok was the main caretaker as he worked full-time at the flower shop, while Jimin was just helping him before going to school and after he went to school.

Jimin wasn't really horrified by the fact that he had to take care of the flower shop. At least, he had something to do rather than to go to school. Plus, looking at the bright side (according to Hoseok), he'll earn some work experience along the way.

Jimin was currently applying pressure fertilisers on the plants.

"Grow my little one!" Hoseok exclaimed to the plant that had just developed into a seedling and watered it.

Hoseok then looked at Jimin and pointed at the young plant. "Look! It's growing already! We need extra care for the young ones here."

Jimin chuckled to his brother's enthusiasm. He loved the fact that his brother's passion towards plants and flowers was overflowing and he expressed it well. Hoseok didn't earn that degree in Botany for nothing.

Jimin applied the organic fertiliser to their final plant and after that, he looked at the hanging wall clock.

6.00 p.m, closing time.

"Oh would you look at that, it's closing time already," Jimin pointed to the wall clock, to remove the rubber gloves from his hands and his brother responded by looking at it.

Hoseok pouted for a while and patted the young seedling.

"It's really sad how we can literally count the number of customers going in and out of this shop, you know," Hoseok said sadly.

"Maybe they don't like our flowers or something," Jimin shrugged.

Hoseok gasped in horror and hugged the potted plant to then shake his head.

"Don't say that to them! Plants have feelings too, you know," Hoseok retorted.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I didn't mean it that way," Jimin apologised. "I just think that, not all has great tastes in flowers and flower shops in general too."

Hoseok smiled and approached his younger brother to ruffle his hair.

"I know you don't mean it that way, Jimin. Don't apologise," Hoseok chuckled. "We're done for the day, you can go wash up now."
