『 Gloxinia 』

❁3❁

Just like the other day, you spend your time alone in this little shop, taking care all of the flowers and humming a song that randomly comes in your mind. The scent of flowers filled your nostrils, making you relaxed. Just like the name of the shop that you use.

Serene.

Peaceful.

You really love how the word itselves sound so simple. The door bell suddenly dinged, telling you a new customer has arrived. You quickly run towards the door to meet the new customer.

"Welc-",

"SUNNY!!", you saw his face for a second and noticed who it was. He jumps and hugs you. "J-Jimin??", you are shocked but also happy to see him again. "I miss you so much!", he mumbles on your shoulder. You hugged him back as he slowly swings you side to side.

"I miss you too!" You patted his back and felt your eyes started to get blurry by the tears.

You know that he will come today but you don't expect him to come this early, you were too surprised by his presence that you didn't notice the man standing behind him.

"Oh? You're the guy who bought a bouquet the other day!", you pointed at the guy and slowly parting away from the hug.

Taehyung nods slowly, "and you're the girl who helped me." He smiles.

"You guys know each other?", Jimin looked at you and then Taehyung, and back to you again.

"I came here a few days ago to buy a bouquet," Taehyung remembered the pretty bouquet you made.

"Ah then, Sunny, this is Kim Taehyung, my best friend!" Jimin's smile never leaves his face.

"Hi Taehyung, I'm Jeon Haesu.", you smiled and slightly bow at him.

Then I guess Sunny is her nickname Jimin gave. Taehyung thought as he slightly bows back.

"How are you? Why didn't you tell me that you are moving here??", he turned back to you.

"I want to surprise you! I'm good! A bit sad to leave Busan but I'm also excited to move here. Especially because I could see you again after years!", you're too happy to see him again after a lot of waiting.

You almost didn't recognized him because his face is different but the smile and the way he called your nickname never change. The longing feeling can finally leave you.

Taehyung left you guys alone to catch up with each other and walks around the shop. As his eyes wandered around the room, he founds the same flower that she choose for the bouquet. A small paper sticking in the pot with hand written

Chrysanthemum.

Mom really loves the bouquet.

He thought as he shift his gaze to you two. You're smiling widely, listening to Jimin who talks like there's no tomorrow about how he missed you. But what caught his attention isn't about Jimin's story. There's something that makes him can't stop looking at it.

"Must be very tough running this place on your own." Jimin's hand tucked down on his pocket. "Well yes, but I enjoy my time a lot in here too", you smiled softly

"Hey, what if we help you running this shop?? We will come here whenever we have free times" Jimin clapped his hands but you looked at him in shock.

We? Taehyung's eyes widened.

"W-what?? No way, it'll be a burden for both of you! Are you serious??", you looked at your best friend in disbelief, but Jimin just nod his head eagerly.

"It sounds fun! Beside, spending time with you is all I want now, for old time sake. Taehyung will enjoy it too, right Tae?", Jimin turned into him.

"What? Why are you dragging me?",
I barely know her.

"Jimin, I'm not sure if he is okay with it," you tugged on Jimin's sleeve. You don't want him to feel uncomfortable. How could Jimin ask him like it was nothing?

"I'll be here too. It'll be nice to have friends." Jimin, please...

"I'm alri—",

"Fine," when that word slipped from his mouth, silence filled the room.

"Really??", Jimin excitedly wrap his arms around Taehyung's shoulders.
"This job doesn't sound stressful",
what am I doing?

"Great!!", Jimin looks at you, trying to win your heart and let them help you. With those puppy eyes? Of course you lose.

"Fine, if you insist." you sighed but not because you hate it, but somehow happy about it too.

"Thank you", you smiled at them.

Thump

She smiled again.
