Everything is a haze as Bom's eyes slowly close shut. Darkness engulfed her as she stood on the cold cement floor staring into what seemed like nothing. Suddenly, she smelled the familiar smell of flowers and the fuzzy and unclear voice of a lady slowly got louder and clearer. She gasped as tears filled her eyes.
In front of her was a wide array of flowers with vibrant colours that burst before her eyes. She looked down to see a familiar scene in a third person's perspective. 5 year old her was in the park with her mother. Staring at her mother with tear filled eyes, she burst into tears. She had missed her so much.
"Remember to pick the ones with bright colours!"
Her mother yelled from a few feet away as she grabbed onto her basket tightly, picking flowers. Bom wiped her tears away as she observed her 5 year old self picking flowers. However, 5 year old her bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry!"
Bom said as she looked up to see a boy of around her age. 5 year old her was ecstatic.
"It's okay!"
The boy said, smiling widely. Returning the smile given to her, Bom continued picking flowers.
"Why are you picking flowers?"
The boy asked curiously.
"My mom owns a flower shop nearby,"
Bom replied, pointing at the familiar shop at the corner. The matchmaking shop she currently ran. Bom, looking over at the shop her past self was pointing at, was hit with a wave of grief. Ever since her mother passed, she was not sure what to do with the flower shop until she decided to transform it into a matchmaking shop.
"We're using these flowers to make pretty bouquets!"
Bom exclaimed excitedly. The boy's eyes lit up before Bom asked,
"Well, why are you here?"
"My mom asked me to wait here so that she can get us ice cream but it's been a while and she still hasn't come back and I can't find her. Also, she was crying!"
The boy said, whispering the last sentence with his eyes wide. Bom shrugged, not really sure what point he was trying to make as she continued picking flowers and putting them into her basket.
"What's your name?"
Smiling proudly, Bom replied,
"My name is Bom! My mom said it means 'spring time'! What's your name?"
"Mine is Taehyung!"
