"This'll look great!" Seungmin comments, looking at the bouquet of flowers the young lady was holding.

The old lady at the cashier started teasing him, "Is this for your girlfriend?"

"Soon to be." Jisung says, putting an arm around Seungmin. "My friend's going to confess today."

"That's so sweet!" The young lady comments. Jisung eyed her carefully and noticed her fairy-like features.

"Uhm, are you from around here?" Jisung asked, seeing Seungmin pay the bill.

The old lady shook her head, "We just moved two years ago. We're from China."

"China?!"

"Yes, we wanted to start a new life here. Together with the three of us."

"The three of you?" Seungmin looked around. "I don't see anyone."

"Oh don't worry. He's probably at the back sulking."

"Why?"

"Because my daughter still hasn't said yes to his proposal." The old lady chuckled, giving Seungmin his change. "He's a little bit sensitive."

Her daughter groans, "Mom! Ugh, fine, I'll go find him." She moved towards the back of the store, "Luo Zheng you better come out or you won't be having dinner!"

"Okay then..." Jisung motions to the exit.

Seungmin nods, getting the message. He faces the cashier, "Thank you for this flowers, Mrs.?"

"Mrs. Lin. Lin Jiangli."

"Raewon's gonna love that!" Jisung says, taking a picture of Seungmin while holding the flowers.

"You sure?"

"Well, if she doesn't you can just give it to me. Haeyeon always asked for bouquets."

"Why don't you give one to her?"

Jisung scoffed, "There's no important occasion. Plus we're already in a relationship."

"Then what'd you give her for your first anniversary?"

"I gave her a teddy bear," Jisung says. "See? Girls love those stuff."

Seungmin tilts his head, "Okay, then what are you planning for your second anniversary?"

Jisung stopped in his tracks. "That reminds me. I need to get a reservation for the restaurant."

"Your anniversary isn't even until next month."

"Well this restaurant is always packed," He explains. "You have to make a reservation before a month of your desired date."

Before Seungmin could reply, Jisung was already on his phone, "I have to go, Seung. You okay on your own?"

"Yeah but—"

"Okay, good." Jisung waved at a taxi and hopped inside. "I'll see you back at home."

The taxi left to the direction of the restaurant, leaving Seungmin standing.

"Guess, I'll just have to go to Raewon's house."
