Floriography - KhunBam

Chapter Sixteen

"Good Morning Jinsung."

"Ah, morning Kid."

Yawning as he spoke, Jinsung greeted Bam who was busy cleaning the coffee counters and equipment.

"So.... how are you feeling today?"

Taking a seat behind the florist counter, Jinsung watched Bam's reaction.

Bam froze for a moment before showing a forced smile and answering stiffly.

"I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, it's Saturday so today's the day."

"I don't know what you're referring to Jinsung. By the way I think we're running low on stock so I'll need you to put an order in."

Raising an eyebrow, Jinsung accused Bam.

"Avoiding it, huh?"

"I'm not avoiding it, it just doesn't matter to me."

"Uh huh, sure, I'll pretend that I believe you."

Silence descended as Bam continued cleaning and Jinsung started prepping the flower orders for that day. Some time had passed when Bam approached Jinsung.

"Do you need any help with today's orders?"

"Nope, I'll do them although it would be good if you could do the delivery we have later this afternoon."

"No problem, where is it?"

"It's at The Great Tower Hotel, so it's only a twenty minute walk."

His eyes narrowed in suspicion, Bam questioned the order.

"Isn't that a hotel owned by the Khun family?"

"Yup, it sure is."

"And who ordered the flowers?"

"The Khun kid did."

"Deliver them yourself."

"Come on Bam, that's not very professional. Besides, you said you were fine with what was happening today."

Jinsung used Bam's own words against him.

"Obviously you know I was lying, Jinsung. Of course I'm not fine with it but I don't really have any other choice."

"You could go in there and confess your love like a normal person and try to win him over?"

"I already told him how I felt."

"What, with all of those flowers that you know he didn't understand?"

Bam blushed, refusing to give in, he was surprisingly stubborn.

"How was he supposed to know what you were trying to say when you wouldn't even tell him the names of the flowers you were giving him."

Jinsung pointed out the obvious and Bam still refused to talk.

"And you heard him in here the other day. He clearly told me he loves you, though he didn't realise you were hiding out behind the bar at the time and could hear every word he was saying."

"But he didn't choose me. He lied to me and he chose some random girl that he doesn't even like. I just.... I don't care anymore."

Wanting to end the conversation, Bam was about to storm out the back when he picked up on something Jinsung had said.

"What do you mean all the flowers?"

"Huh... oh.... so what was the stock you needed ordering?"

It was Jinsung's turn to try and change the subject as he realised he had slipped up.
