[Flower Shop]

\/\/\/\/

Jeongin was already used to seeing Hyunjin at his parents' flower shop every saturday, it was kind of a tradition already; he always bought the same flower, a daisy. 

Jeongin couldn't help but wonder to whom he gave them, if he just liked them, how would he use them or why so many.

It was morning and Jeongin have already had breakfast with his parents, they would have an appointment that day, which meant that he would have to work on the flower shop for them.

He felt a little weird just by the thought of being alone with Hyunjin, without being watched by his mom or his dad. Jeongin couldn't hold back a shy smile as he thought about the other boy's smile as he walked in the flower shop, making the little bell on top of the door sound softly around the place.

It was already the end of the day and yet no signs of Hyunjin; maybe he was busy, or he didn't have to buy any more flowers with him. Jeongin was kind of upset, he made his way to the entrance of the store, it was already time to close, he switched the sign from the "open" side to the "closed" side, then sighing one last time before looking for the keys on his pocket.

"Jeongin!" he heard Hyunjin's voice close to him, he had finally arrived, one hand was behind his back and the other one was knocking on the door.

"We're closed." Jeongin answered, fighting back the urge to open the door and be closer to Hyunjin.

"Open up just for a minute, please." Hyunjin begged, staring right into Jeongin's eyes. The door opened again and Hyunjin walked in breathing heavily, as if he was running.

Jeongin turned to the taller and stared at him as if he was waiting for him to talk.

"I know that we don't know each other very well- my name is Hyunjin, by the way." Jeongin laughed, he knew who the boy was. "Hm... I have a feeling that... shit, this isn't it." Hyunjin murmured, taking a post-it from his pocket and reading it quickly, trying to memorize the words. Jeongin laughed at the boy's nervousness, taking the post-it from his hand.

"What do you want to tell me, Hyunjin?" 

The taller boy removed his hand from his back, revealing a beautiful and big bouquet of daisies, Jeongin wondered how he managed to hide all of that behind his back.

"I know that, umm, you only sell flowers, but... how much does your heart cost?"

"So you're interested in it?"

"Y-yeah, but if you don't want it then it's o-okay..." Hyunjin said in a single breath, scared of the younger's reaction. Jeongin took the bouquet, noticing some flowers were dying.

"Oh, the flowers are almost dying, why did it take you so long?" The younger lifted his eyebrows while Hyunjin stayed quiet and tried to understand what he meant by saying that. "Looks like I'll have to teach you how to take care of flowers, I hope you don't mind staying some time with me." 

"That's what I want the most." Hyunjin answered without even thinking, then covering his mouth sheepesly.

"I'm glad that I'm not the only one." 

"Hey, but you still didn't answer my question." Hyunjin said. "About your heart."

"Why do you want to know the cost of something that is already yours?"
