Flower Shop (k.sj)

Five

     Its become a regular thing for Jin to come to the flower shop and chill in the back. Sometimes we'd get coffee together.
Today we got coffee. It was raining so it seemed like a good day to sit by the window. We got our usual coffees and sat down. I sat next to Jin today, but by the window. Jin told me he doesn't like rain.
     "So, your mother gets out the hospital this week?" Jin asked me before he sipped his coffee. I nodded, "I'm not really excited like my siblings are. My mom always begs me to get a husband. She almost forced me to marry Johyun but I declined and I'm happy." I leaned against the window to face him.
     "I hope that car knocked some sense into her. I don't need a man to live my life." I sighed. Jin nearly spit out his coffee. He swallowed it and busted out laughing.
I joined him.
His laugh was too cute.
He's too cute overall.
     "Anyway, are you coming back to my place for dinner again?" I asked him. He was his coffee down and smiled at me.
"Of course. I'll cook this time. I don't want you to stress it." He nudged me a bit. I smiled back at him. "Thanks. Ive been stressed lately. I hope you're a good cook." I looked away from him.
     "I'm great cook." He put his arm around my shoulders.

     "How are you and your friends?" I asked Jin who was walking around my kitchen, grabbing pans and pots.
     "One of them want us all to meet soon. I don't know when." He turned to me as he put a pan on the stove.
     "What happened with you guys anyway?" I asked again. I was interested in his relationships with other people.
I want to get to know him more.
     "We were great friends, we hung out almost everyday since high school. But soon, one of them ran away. We didn't know why and that's when everyone started to argue and fight. The guy that ran away was the peacemaker, the glue to our friendship. But when he ran away, no one could make peace. Everyone dropped like flies, and finally it was only me and one person left. Next thing I knew was I was alone." He stopped everything he was doing. We fell silent. I stood up and walked into the kitchen. I hugged him from behind.
     "There's no need to worry any more, you've got Nisoo and I. Hell, even you got Bak." I smiled, wrapping my arms around his chest. I could barely touch my own arm. His chest was too big. I felt his breathing hitch.

Jin's POV

     When she wrapped her arms around me, I was ready to drop everything and risk it. Id risk it all for her. She's amazing. Im glad I made the decision to go back to the shop. I'm glad I came over for dinner the first time. I'm glad I met her.
     "Jin, you stopped breathing." I heard her muffled voice from behind me. I felt her hot breath through the back of my shirt.
     "Sorry." I quickly apologized. She removed her arms from around me and began to walk back to her living room. I mentally cursed myself.
I wanted to be in her arms.
I quickly turned around and wrapped my arms around her hips, picking her up.
     "Yah! Jin!" She shouted.
"Get out of the kitchen. The food is going to be a surprise." I marched to the living room, setting her down on the couch.
     "Am I really that easy to pick up?" She whined.
     I walked back into the kitchen, "Very." I laughed.
She's a doll.

Hyuna's POV

   Jin and I finished eating. The food was delicious and it sure was a surprise. "You were right about being a good cook." I cooed.
     "I'm always right." He smiled. His phone then buzzed and he quickly looked at it. "Holy shit." He mumbled. I looked at him with a confused expression. "What?" I asked curiously. His fingers began flying across the keyboard in his phone. I looked over his shoulder. The contact name was "kookie".
     He put his phone back down. I opened my mouth to speak but he spoke before I could. "I'm meeting them in a few. I told them I'd be a bit late since I needed to help you with the dishes." He got out of his seat and began to grab his dish. "You're meeting your old friends? And don't worry, I got the dishes." I stood up and reached to grab his dish. He quickly grabbed it before I did and ran to the kitchen.  "Yes and no. I don't want you to go through the trouble." He smiled at me. I bit my lip.
     "I love you." I smiled. He stopped moving. He slowly turned to me.
     "What?"
     "I love you. Like a friend." I grabbed my dish and walked into the kitchen. I stood next to him. He looked back down into the sink. "I love you too. Like a friend."

Jin's POV

     I knocked on the door to the apartment. I was late. I told them I'd be late. This was stressing me out. I bet they think I hate them. I don't want them to hate me because I love them. They're like my brothers. They were my brothers.
     The door opened. My heart felt like it stopped.
     "Hi hyung." Jungkook smiled at me. I haven't heard his voice in a while. I almost smiled as I stared at his face that was once so young. Now he's mature.
     I brushed past him and into his living room where everyone was sitting. There wasn't much talking going on. Everyone was sitting awkwardly.
     "We were waiting for you." Jungkook closed the door and followed me in. I didn't respond.
       I sat down in an empty seat. I moved the chair away from the closest person to me. Jungkook sat down next to Namjoon.
     "You were 20 minutes late for a girl? I hope she was worth it." Yoongi spat from beside me. It's been years since we've talked and that's the first thing he said to me.
     "Do you have a stick up your ass or something?" I hissed. He was about to stand up before Jimin pushed him back into the seat.
      "God, the last thing we need is more fighting." Jimin growled.
      "Why'd you want us here?" Taehyung asked Jungkook.
     The only thing I know about them all is that Hoseok and Jimin stayed together, Namjoon moved away, Taehyug ran away, and Yoongi and Jungkook stayed together. I haven't got very far.
     "I want our old friendship back." Jungkook said with a sad tone, looking down, "Let's just talk out our differences.."
"Ok, I'll start. Why the hell did you guys all leave me alone?!" I barked. No one answered. They all just stared at me. They probably don't have a reason. They just left me to wither away by myself. I was so alone. They just kept staring at me.
Silent.
That's what I expected.
     "Why'd you leave?" Namjoon asked Taehyung. We all stared at him. He was hugging his knees on Jungkook's couch.
     "Abuse." Is all that he said.
I remember when he'd use to come to my house to get away from his family. I'd protect him. He'd cry into my arms as I consoled and helped him.
Then he ran away.
     "How about you?" Namjoon asked Hoseok. He looked tense. Everyone was tense. The atmosphere in here was tight. It was hard to breathe.
     "I couldn't handle the arguing. I felt useless everytime I tried to sort things out, you guys would yell at each other again." Hoseok mumbled, "Jimin came with me."
Namjoon looked over at Yoongi. We all know why he left. He told it straight to our face when he did. He didnt 'fucking like us anymore'. Jungkook followed in his footsteps.
     "I was the only one left." I mumbled, "You don't know how much I've been through these past few months. I witnessed someone die." No one said anything. They don't feel pity for me. They all hate me. That's why they left me alone.
      "Let's just start over." I mumbled. Everyone stared at me like I was crazy. I am. I'm completely nuts.
     "That's a good idea." Namjoon said. I lifted my head up to state at him.
What? I didn't mean it..
     "It'll be hard." Taehyung spoke up.
     "It'll be worth it, atleast." Jungkook continued.
     "I-" I began my sentence.
     "-don't expect us to all get along immediately." Yoongi rose his voice, "I still hate you guys." I chuckled. I missed these days. The days where we would laugh at each other. We would hang out everyday. We would sing to songs and dance like maniacs.
You know what. Let's start over. Fresh.
That's right. We'll all just start over.
     I stood up from my seat and bowed. "Hi, my names Jin."

      I knocked on Hyuna's door. I tapped my foot anxiously before it opened.
"Ho-" I hugged her before she could say anything. Her head was in my chest and her arms were squished in between us.
      "It went great. We're all starting over. I'll let you meet them soon." I smiled as I held her in my arms. We stood like that for a bit. I felt safe with her.
     "Jin, you're hurting my arm." She mumbled. I pulled away to see that her arm was positioned weirdly. "Sorry." I quickly apologized, keeping my hands on her shoulders.
      "I'm glad everything went well." She smiled up at me, "You could've texted me though."
I sighed. I could've. But I didn't. I left my phone here.
      "I sorta wanna crash on your couch." I smiled. She gave me a happy sigh, if those are a thing. She opened the door wider so I could enter.
     I basically live here now.
