Yoongi nearly froze again but realised quickly that this was a customer so he couldn't afford act like an idiot, he quickly descended down the tiny step ladder and faced the boy.
He had dark brown hair which was slightly curly and long-ish, he had big doe eyes and a little bunny smile as he held the flower that had dropped in front of him. He was tall and in good shape which made Yoongi bite down on his lip slightly. Jimin was completely right, even about the all black clothing. He was exactly Yoongi's type.
"Oh umm, t-thank you." Yoongi said in a small voice, he didn't know how to handle such an attractive man talking to him.
"No problem, are you the guy your colleague was talking about? The one who can help me with my project?" Jungkook asked remembering what he was there for.
"Ah well you see, m-my f-friend never informed me there was a customer in the shop. I apologise. What did you erm need help with?" Yoongi was fiddling with his hands not knowing what to do.
Jungkook giggled because he found it endearing, and Yoongi's cheeks filled with a pink blush.
"I needed some help with my art project at college. It's called 'floral pieces and naturalistic forms', I was thinking of using flowers that have personal meaning as a topical point." Jungkook said.
Yoongi didn't mean to stand there and not saying anything but he was a bit of a loss for words, he was just about to speak before Jungkook interrupted.
"For instance like my birth flower is important to me it's a tiger lily and it means—-"
"Please love me." Yoongi blurted and clamped his hand to his mouth. "I don't mean it like that but I-just because t-that's what it means"
"I know" Jungkook giggled "it's good to know you know your flowers."
"It's my job." Yoongi smiled. The first thing he said calmly with ease. He decided he wanted to help.
"I can make you a small bouquet, as like a starting point, maybe with different meaningful flowers?" Yoongi suggested, he wanted to sound impressive but now he realised he had to do it and hope the boy liked it.
"That's sweet of you. I'm Jungkook by the way." Jungkook stuck out his hand.
"Y-Yoongi. Min Yoongi." Yoongi said shaking his very soft hand, he didn't want to let go but did before it got weird.
"So uhh, we can start with a tiger-lily. You know if you want specifics it is said to mean 'I dare you to love me'. There was a myth about a tiger who was struck by an arrow, a hermit found him and tried to save his life, the tiger died but promised their friendship would live on. Then he turned into a tiger-lily flower." Yoongi was gathering pieces to make his bouquet, he had picked out a bunch of other flowers and brought them to the table. Jungkook stood on the other side.
"Love sometimes needs sacrifice." Jungkook added but was intrigued by the way Yoongi knew so much about just one flower.
"If you want you can smell them?"
"Oh yes of course." Jungkook knew he was sensitive to smells but he also wanted to do anything the cute florist asked, he brought the tiger-lily to his nose but his face scrunched up a bit and Yoongi noticed.
"I-I'm sorry, do you not like it?" Yoongi's face fell.
"No no no no, I'm just sensitive to smells that's all!" Jungkook quickly said. Yoongi's heart tightened a bit, that means he stayed in the shop this whole time despite it having a strong scent.
"So these are winter cherries, kind of similar to cherry blossom. They grew on the trees where my parents got married." Yoongi explained holding up a small branch of flowers, they were white but pink around the edges and yellow in the middle.
