Each day a petal falls, making my life shorter.

I stand behind the counter at my grandmas flower shop. 'Who will take the shop after I leave?' The bell rings, signaling that someone walked through the door.

I quickly bow. "Hello, sir." I spot the boy that comes in on a regular bases.

"Do you have any roses?" I nod pointing over to the little amount of roses I have. They die so quickly.

Instead of going to the roses he comes over to the counter. He was tall, had wide shoulders, and was overall handsome.
I gulp as he leans on the counter. "Why are you closing?"

"Um, I- I.. am leaving." I say looking into his eyes.

He stares at me in the eyes. "15 years I've been coming here." He says looking down at the counter.

"Yet I've never talked to you, just admired you from afar."
He looks back into my eyes, studying me.

"Grandma saw me staring at you all the time."

"Aish" he curses under his breath, standing back up and tears start to form in his eyes. I just stare, stared into his teary eyes.

You said you admired me from afar. I've always did the same, Kim Seokjin. I always watched you pick a rose from the shop. Why do you like roses so much?
