『 Gloxinia 』

-Taehyung's POV-

Why am I so nervous? I did it before with Jimin, everything will be okay right?

I keep debating with myself as my legs bring me to the front of her shop. I stop on my track for a second and staring at her from outside . She is so focus on watering the flower, am I bothering? Once again I keep thinking until finally I give up and enter the shop.

She quickly turned around and meet my eyes. "Good morning!", she smiled softly. For some reason, all of my thoughts disappeared and I let go of my breath that I didn't know i was holding earlier. I just smiled back at her with a relieved sigh, "Morning".

"Thank you, please come again," she handed the bouquet she just made, before the customer excuse herself to leave. "Aren't you tired?", I ask her as I notice her tired eyes. "A little, I can't sleep properly last night", she chuckled before taking a seat to the garden chair in corner. I joined her and sit across from her. "Thank you", she suddenly said making me looked at her questionably. "For what?", "Accompanying me", she smiled innocently. Once again, her smile makes my chest hurts.

What is this really?

"No problem", I look away. There's a silence between us that is somehow making me uncomfortable as every second passed by. I steal a few glances at her. She just blankly look outside the window, all calm and empty somehow. What's inside her head?

"Why does Jimin called you 'Sunny'?", the question slipped from my mouth unconsciously and I mentally face palmed when she turned to me with widened eyes. "Pft.", she suddenly laughed making me staring at her confused. "W-what?", "Nothing, I thought you're a very cold person, but I guess you're very random", she holds her laugh by covering her mouth.

Somehow her laugh sounds cute..no wait what???

"I..I was just wondering", why am I stuttering? "Jimin called me Sunny because he said I always smile back then. Whenever he feels sad, he said that I'm like the sun who create a new happiness for him." She stopped and laughed again, "I'm sorry it's so weird, I don't know either, but I'm used to that nickname", she looked at me still with the smile that become her characteristic

"That is cute", I said as I imagine the cute little Jimin whinning at her with his plump lips forming into a pout.
Another bell from the door could be heard as a new customer stepped inside. She quickly stand up and greeted her. I just stand behind her, watching her smiling sweetly to the customer while asking about the flowers. She's such a hard worker.

"I'm going home now, are you okay by yourself?", I ask her while wearing my jacket. "Of course, you helped enough today", she nodded surely. I wish I could stay longer to accompany her but I can't, I have to go home now because my mom is alone at home, I don't wanna leave her.

"Okay then, I'll be back tomorrow", I smiled to her and walk out of the shop, "Sure! Be careful on your way home", she leaned against the door frame. I answered with a thank you but then suddenly I stopped on my track and looked back at her.

A step closer won't hurt right?

I thought to myself before smiling at her who is waiting for me to say something.

"Bye..Sunny."
