 she perked up, watching him exit the building and walking straight to her. he had a huge grin on his face as he approached her and leaned in for a hug which she immediately dodged, leaving him confused.

"wha-" he started, concern laced in his voice but she put her hand up, stopping him from speaking any further.

"save it for the group chat, steven" she spat out and he looked taken aback by her sudden harsh words but he realised that her posture was very rigid and she looked very pissed off.

"babe, what are you talking about?" he asked, a nervous chuckle escaping his lips, stepping closer to her and tried to hold her hand, she immediately swatted his hand away before glaring at him.

"don't act so innocent, babe. maybe set a new password for that goddamn phone of yours" she seethed, venom dripping from her words and he finally started to get a small idea of what was happening.

"you saw the texts?" he asked, his voice was small and he looked away, clearly guilty.

"did i see them? well, let's go through some facts here, so i'm just a 'cheap bitch' who you will have around for 'another tiring month' and all i do is 'bore the fuck out of you' or 'annoy you' and you 'don't know' how to end things with me. now you tell me, did i see the fucking texts?" she almost screamed and he took it, he deserved it, hell, he probably deserved more than that but she knew arguing with him was just a waste of her precious time.

"babe, please listen to m-" he pleaded but she wasn't having any of it, cutting him off once again.

"no, you listen to me steven, since you 'don't know' how to end things with me, i'm gonna make this real simple for you. i don't want to spend another 'tiring' minute with you, i honestly feel bad for whoever you'll date next, i hope they enjoy their 'two minutes in hell' in bed with you" she spat out and he just stared at her, stone shocked.

"also, i almost forgot, you were a florist right? have a good time figuring out what this means" she smirked, throwing the bouquet into his arms and taking one last look at his dumb face before turning and walking in the opposite direction, head held high and a slight bounce in her step.

steven stood there, dumbfounded before bringing the bouquet closer to inspect the flowers, he immediately understood what they meant and a slight scoff left his lips as he dropped the bouquet to his feet and stomped on it, again and again, like a child.

she sashayed her way home and closed the door, leaning on it, letting out a light sigh before a smile formed on her lips for two reasons,

1. she was finally not with that man-child anymore and she never felt more relieved in her life.

2. she also remembered the very cute boy from the flower shop, his delicate features and his comforting words, how he spoke about flowers so passionately even when they had an unpleasant meaning, he intrigued her and she didn't have to mention the fact that she was attracted to him, she was pretty sure everyone who met him was.

she put her shoes away, hung her coat and walked into her apartment which she shared with her best friend.

speaking about above mentioned best friend, celeste park walked in at that moment and immediately started bombarding her with questions on how everything went.

she just let out a soft huff before slowly walking into her room with celeste hot on her tail, she shut out whatever surely nonsense her friend was spewing and quickly excused herself to shower and change.

after she was in more comfortable clothes, she joined celeste on the couch who sat with a small pout on her face, clearly annoyed that she wouldn't tell her anything.

she just cuddled into her friend's arms and started narrating about how it all went down with steven, celeste continued to throw around snide remarks about her ex-boyfriend the entire time, and by the end of it, both of them were giggling before celeste tightly hugged her.

"i am so proud of you and happy that you are not with him anymore, god knows how many times i told you he wasn't worth your time" celeste snickered, brushing her friend's hair softly.

"yeah, you sounded like a broken record. i should have dumped him right then." she giggled as celeste hit her with a soft pillow.

"also, i forgot to mention, i met this guy," she said with a cheeky smile, wandering off and leaving celeste with wide eyes who started to follow the girl around as she made dinner.

"who is it? and damn, who knew you would find someone else literally the day you break up with your boyfriend?" celeste said with a smirk on her face, sitting on the chair near the counter.

"shut up cel, i barely know the guy, hell, i don't even know his name except for the fact that he works at the flower store but let me tell you, he was probably the finest man i've met in my life" she explained, carefully mixing the spices to make kimchi fried rice.

"that's what you said about steven" celeste interjected with raised eyebrows, not really trusting her friend's words on this as she shook her head violently.

"steven was fine but almost in a childish way, this guy was all man, his voice was deep and raspy, you wouldn't believe how good he sounded when he started speaking about the flowers. ugh, he sounded so smart and looked so handsome" she blabbered away, tasting the food as celeste listened on, finding her best friend's description of a guy and dazed expression clearly amusing.

"so you find him interesting?" celeste asked, knowing the answer already while she thought for a while before nodding.

"you could say, very interesting" she said with amusement laced in her voice.

"come on, stop thinking about how he sounds in bed already, at least talk to the guy before you do that" celeste teased, giggling at her interested-correction-very interested best friend.

"alright alright, cut it out now!" she whined before serving the fried rice for the both of them. they both started eating before celeste started speaking again.

"so you're gonna go back to the flower shop right?" celeste spoke with her mouth full, and she looked away, poking her plate.

"i don't know about that cel, like what would i do even if i did go back?" she stammered, uncertainty clear in her voice.

"dude, you're obviously interested in him and if he is fine as fuck as you say, just go in there, ask about random flowers or buy random flowers, or even better, try to explain why you asked for such a peculiar bouquet" celeste shrugged after she was done suggesting ways to approach the flower boy.

she just nodded along, her eyes slightly twitching with nervousness and excitement before celeste rolled her eyes.

"i know that look, you're going back, aren't you?" celeste asked, and she smirked at her.

"hell yeah"
