flowers in time.

04

I had a day off from work and thought of utilising this time to go grocery shopping.

On my way back, I saw a young girl distributing leaflets to the passerby with a cheerful voice. She had blonde hair with a bob cut. She was very enthusiastic with a warm smile. I quickly to the leaflet from her hand. I turned back to look at her, she reminded me of my past...

I was a freshman that year. I had telephone phobia, an otaku girl and couldn't refuse the requirements of others. Remembering now, I guess I had a bob cut too, in those days.

I was socially awkward too. To develop my social skills, I thought of looking for a part-time job, like distributing the leaflets. My friends mocked at me, but I was firm and told them that, some people want to make a change in their lives.

Change? My ass...

On the day of distributing the leaflets, the sun shined brightly. Ever so brightly, that the temperature rose to nearly 40 degrees Celsius. But I had no troubles or problems with the temperature. My only problem was Jungkook. We were friends in those days. We were not that close with each other, but not distant enough to call us as just classmates.

That time, I never knew that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him...

He was wearing a casual outfit, T-shirt and shorts, and was enjoying the weather while having ice cream. I glared at him. He just gave a disapproving look and told, "stop looking at me. Get on with your work." This guy must have come here to laugh at me!

I was still not making any progress. Looking at the huge number of people walking from different directions, made me feel dizzy. I still don't know why I was so hesitant to hand out those mere leaflets. Jungkook was sitting right behind me, enjoying his ice cream and glancing at me from time to time.

I was hesitantly glancing from left to right when a boy voluntarily came up to me and asked for two leaflets. Grabbing the opportunity that has bestowed upon me by the lord, I silently thought is he the heaven-sent angel!?

I gladly and happily gave him two leaflets and gave him one of my warmest smiles. He took the leaflets and immediately left the place. I silently thanked him again for helping me from my social awkwardness. My eyes were unconsciously following him to see that he spread the leaflets on the bench for him and his girlfriend to sit down...

I had never seen Jungkook laughing that hard, even today.
