PROTECTIVE NOONAS

Rule#4: The Encounter of Two Hearts

Kihyun was cleaning the flower shop lazily. Today he had to take over the flower shop and cafe since two of Jooheon's lazy workers were absent for almost two days in a row. Kihyun grumbled along when he saw Jooheon was waving goodbye with Changkyun by his side. That two seemed to get along well. Everything went well for Jooheon. While he and Hyunwoo ...

Kihyun sighed. He leaned on his both elbows on a counter and thought about Hyunwoo. That cold-hearted, handsome guy who secretly invaded Kihyun's mind lately. Especially after the caterpillar incident in Uncle Jedong's flower farm.

He remembered after he ran out frantically from the greenhouse, that darn caterpillar still determined to stick on his shirt. In the end, Kihyun who was shuddering internally took off his shirt and leaving him with his sleeveless. He threw his shirt and rubbed his body as if it's itchy because of that caterpillar. He was still busy rubbed his arms and kept an eye on his shirt-contemplating whether he should take it or burn it-when a pair of hands landed on his shoulder.

"Aaah!!" Kihyun screamed and jumped. He turned and saw Hyunwoo who was looking at him; squinted his small eyes on him.

Kihyun's legs felt like jelly today. His poor heart couldn't handle all these surprises.

He slumped down on the ground and frowned. Hyunwoo didn't say anything but he squatted beside Kihyun.

"That's your shirt? Is it still there?" he asked, pointing at Kihyun's shirt.

Kihyun weakly followed the pointing finger and slowly nodded. And then he realized he only wore a thin sleeveless. Suspiciously, he covered his torso the best he could while watching Hyunwoo.

Hyunwoo stared at him without expression. "What?" he asked.

Kihyun didn't say anything but kept looking at him.

In this large farm with no sign of Uncle Jedong or workers because they are having lunch, anything could happen, right? Even if he is too robotic, he was still a man, right? Wait--I'm also a man. This guy is straight, right. Ah, Kihyunnie, you think too high on your self. There is no way this man is attracted to you even if he is gay.

Feeling relieved, Kihyun shook his head. "Nothing." Then he took a glance at his shirt again.

Hyunwoo followed Kihyun's glance. "Oh," then he took off his suit and put it on Kihyun.

Kihyun widened his eyes.

What has just happened? Snow is falling in summer? This-this robot has just given his jacket suit for him?

Hyunwoo cleared his throat. "Don't think about something weird. It's too pity for you to wear that dirty shirt. Just leave it here. You can use my suit to cover you. " Hyunwoo then rose up and started walking away.

After some time, he stopped and realized Kihyun still froze in his spot.

"Yah! Come here quickly! I'm starving! In 3 seconds if you don't move, I will leave you here and you have to crawl back to Seoul! Three-two-" Hyunwoo started counting.

Kihyun abruptly stood up and ran towards Hyunwoo. Hyunwoo stared at him without saying anything. The annoyance look was clearly pasted on his face. Kihyun smiled timidly. He's not going to leave him here and crawl back to Seoul for real, right? But, he looked serious ...

"Stop thinking. The answer is no. I'm not going to leave you here. Unless you start acting annoying."

"I won't! I promise!" Kihyun exclaimed. This guy, aish!

"Follow me," said Hyunwoo sternly then after that small talk, they walked together to Hyunwoo's car and leave the farm.

Every time Kihyun remembered that he got funny tingling feeling inside his heart. That cold and flat expression he had. But why his mind couldn't stop thinking about him?
