The Florist (TAEKOOK)

Wisteria and Amaryllis

Taehyung smiled brightly as he opened his shop and went inside, switching on all the lights to be greeted by all of his flowers. He removed his coat and went to his desk. He opened his register to see if there were any orders that Jimin had taken the day before which were to be delivered. He heard the sound of chimes and looked up to see his friend, Hoseok. 

"Morning Tae! Anything to deliver?" He asked with a wide smile.

"Morning Hobi! Well, you have to deliver the Dahlias and Lilacs. Just two deliveries for now. The address is attatched to the bouquets." Tae answered and handed the flowers to Hoseok.

"Oh, by the way, before I forget, Jimin will be here by 09:30 a.m, that is, after an hour. He said it has been long since he spoke to his 'bestie'." Hoseok said with a grin on his face before adding, "He's feeling guilty Tae."

"Why Hobi? What's he guilty for? For spending time with Yoongles? I told him I don't mind." He said while looking down.

"You know he won't listen Tae." Hobi replied with another broad smile on his face. Taehyung nodded a bit and watched Hobi leave his shop. He sat down and started checking for some new flowers that his brothers can get while they're out of town. He decided to give them a call and ask for some Salvias.

"Jin Hyung!" Tae exclaimed when he heard a small hello from the other side.

"Jeez Tae Baby, what's up? We will be back tomorrow." Jin said and was about to hang up when Tae stopped him. "Jinnie Hyung, tell Joonie Hyung to bring some blue and red Salvias for the shop please!" Tae said in a baby- like tone to which Jin just laughed.

"What's the meaning of those flowers, Tae Baby?" Jin asked much to his own curiosity.

"Blue Salvias mean that you're thinking of that person, while red means that you want the other to be yours forever." Tae said enthusiastically.

"Fine baby. I'll tell Joonie to get them. Anyway, talk to you later Tae Baby! Take care." Jin said and cut the phone call.

Soon after, Jimin came to the shop. Taehyung quickly rushed to hug his best friend.

"Hey Jiminie!" He said with a smile on his face while Jimin just looked at his excited best friend with a cute smile on his face.

"Hi TaTa! So, let's talk about your guy!" Jimin said with a smirk on his face.

"What guy Chimmy?" He asked with a bit of nervousness.

"Jeon Jungkook. He comes by everyday TaTa. And he doesn't even buy flowers every single day. It has been going for the past 2 months. Don't tell me there's nothing going on." Jimin said to which Taehyung shook his head slightly. "Nothing is going on Chimmy. He just..... talks about flowers and leaves. Nothing else."

"Why don't you ask him out TaTa?"

"I can't Chimmy. He will reject me. I am not even good looking." Taehyung said giving a sad smile to Jimin.

"At least tr-" Jimin started before he got cut off by the sound of the door opening and the chimes, of course the chimes.

Taehyung didn't even have to look towards the door to realise who it is. The strong scent of wisteria reached him before the person could. The smell of wisteria was intoxicating for Taehyung and he had gotten used to it. Especially, the smell of wisteria mixed with his favourite fruit, pomegranate. He had grown to love this scent so much in the past two months.

"He is here," Tae whispered so that only Jimin can hear. But, what shocked Jimin more was the fact that his best friend was so whipped for him that he could make out the smell of his cologne. Jimin smiled to himself and looked at Tae who was now looking at the boy walking towards them.

"Hi Taehyung!" The boy said, with a cute smile on his face.

"Hi Jungkook. So, which flower do you want to talk about today? Or, do you want some flowers today?" Taehyung asked with that beautiful boxy smile, his eyes shining like two bright stars while looking at Jungkook. Jungkook gave another smile and said, "What do you suggest? Why don't you tell me which flower I should know about? Or maybe, which flower would you give me?" Taehyung blushed a little before looking around his shop for a particular red flower.

He got a red flower with some white lines on its petals and looked at Jungkook. "If I were to give you a flower, I would definitely give you the Amaryllis. They look like they're so excited. These flowers symbolise pride, like they have achieved something and can't wait to share it with others."

Jungkook smiled at him and said, "What makes you think I achieved something?"

Taehyung smiled and replied, "Well, you're looking very happy and you probably published your first book because that's what you were talking about yesterday."

Jungkook chuckled lightly and nodded his head. "Could you pack them for me? A bouquet of Amaryllis flowers." Taehyung nodded and quickly packed the flowers into a bouquet and handed them to Jungkook.

"Thanks Taehyung. See you tomorrow. They're beautiful." Jungkook said before leaving the shop.

"YOU ARE WHIPPED BRO!" Jimin yelled, which made Taehyung flinch. He looked at his best friend and smiled sheepishly at his best friend mumbling, "Maybe...."
