『 Gloxinia 』

❁6❁

You bit your lip while glancing down at your wristwatch, sometimes even peeking outside the window.

Ugh, 1pm..
You sighed.

You look around to start making yourself busy and spotted a watering can. You want to water the flower, but when you start watering them, you just realised that it has been done a while ago with the same reason, to keep yourself busy.

"Argh...why am I like this", you run your fingers through your hair in frustration.

I never feel so uneasy like this, what is actually happening to me?

Once again, you glance down to your wristwatch and that's the time when your brain clicked. "Why am I waiting for him?", you questioned yourself.

"But it is more than late, is he not coming? No no, it's his choice to come or not, he's only here because of Jimin.
What if he is tired with me and just ignored me? No but I didn't do anything wrong." You keep talking to yourself while pacing back and forth. Until the bell from the front door dinged, you turn your head as fast as a lightning to see who opened the door.

But your heart dropped when it's only another customer.

"Morning," you greeted her "how can I help you?".

"I want to look around first", she smiled politely. You just stand near her in case she needs another help. Suddenly the door bell could be heard again. The sound of it caught your attention so fast that you turned around almost instantly again like the first time. Your heart thump when you see the man, using a black T-shirt with ripped jeans, stepped inside while brushing his hair back. The style is simple, but with the black bracelet chained around his wrist, it's something else. You almost forgot there's a customer here until his gaze meets yours. You look away, trying to hide your face that is strangely warm for you.

"You came!" you greeted him once the customer left with another bouquet you made. He was leaning into the glass wall while playing a game on his phone before looking at her. "Of course. You think I won't?", he raised one of his eyebrows.  "Well you're a bit late, so I thought you wouldn't come today", you smiled sheepishly.

A bit? No actually, it's a lot!

"So you're waiting for me?", he chuckled, making you panic. "N-no, I mean..it's just a thought!", you mumbled while covering your cheeks that is slightly warmer. "What makes you think that way?", he tilted his head to the side and put down his phone.

"Well, you're here because of Jimin told you so. I don't want to be a burden. So I understand if you don't want to come", you uttered what's on your mind without thinking twice but then mentally slapping yourself when you realised it. "B-but I'm glad that you still want to accompany me here", you rub your nape while looking away to the other side, somehow embarrassed.

But it's me who choose to accompany you, isn't? He thought. Somehow your words makes his heart throb.

Pain?
Happy?

He doesn't know. This feeling is too complicated and new to him.

It has been four days since Jimin left, but he is somehow happy because she pays attention to the time he usually comes. But also sad that she thinks that she's a burden. He just sighed and that time, a new customer entered. Both of your attention quickly moved to the new customer. "I'll take care of it", he said and standing straight.

"Ah..okay, call me if you need help", you step away to give Taehyung a room to walk. "Sure. Also, Sunny-" Taehyung stopped next to you. The new nickname makes you flustered for a second because that nickname usually only heard from Jimin.

"Y-yeah?", why am I stuttering??

"Don't think that way, you're not a burden, I'm the one who choose to accompany you", he smiled and pat your head, before walking towards the customer. Leaving you with your warm face.

W-what did he just do??

What did I just do?!
