The story of A Lonely Flower.
"The people want to know. What is your favourite flower?" She asked.
A question I dread.
What do you think of when you hear the word "Flower"?
Beauty?
Grace?
Perfection?
A sight that brings Hope?
A sight that brings Joy?
Well to me the word flower itself is a prison. A prison I can't seem to escape from. Remember all those lovely thoughts you had answering my question? Take them, step on them, chop them up, toss them in a bin and burn them. Your result is what I think.
The complete opposite of what you thought. That's what I think. So, knowing this, how could I possibly have a favourite flower. But if I said that, I wouldn't be perfect. I wouldn't be Gardenia's Brightest Flower.
But I want to be honest so I'll think about the consequences later, "Ha-ha. Ironically... I don't like flowers."
"What?" The interviewer seemed shocked. "You heard it here first folks! Rose Fleur, Gardenia's brightest flower doesn't like flowers!"
I answered the rest of the questions then the interview ended.
While leaving my elder sister confronted me, "What the hell was that?"
"What?"
"You don't like flowers!? How could the person with the nickname The Brightest Flower, whose name is Rose Flower not like flowers!?" She was upset.
But I still wanted to be honest, "It's only the truth."
"How many times do I have to tell you? You are famous! People don't care about the truth. They want to hear what is expected of you!" She scolded me.
"Yeah... My thoughts and ideas... don't matter."
"Exactly! You should have just said roses as we practised."
"What's done is done." I wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"Right, but it won't happen again."

"I think my father's right about you. You're poison." "Then I guess you're just allergic to it, because you can't seem to stay away." ........... 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻- My father calls me his beautiful rose, a flower he tries to protect from the thorns of the world he fights against. He has no idea the biggest thorn is the boy he hates, the son of his enemy. I try to hate him too, to see him as a monster, but I've learned that a beautiful boy can have an equally dark heart, and that forbidden is just another word for exactly what I want. 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿- They see the heir to a criminal empire, the monster in a designer suit. They don't see the boy who had to grow up too fast, the one who doesn't believe in a love that isn't born from blood and loyalty. But she... she sees something else. She's the daughter of the man who wants me dead, and she makes me question every rule I've ever lived by. Wanting her isn't just a sin; it's a war, and I'm ready to burn down my world just to keep her. ...... "He was the heir to everything I was raised to destroy, and yet, he was the only one who made me feel safe." "I was born to protect my family, but she was the only one I'd be willing to go to war for."Complete
Unease - Four ways to fall
She trusts everyone. She always sees the good in people. Not because she's naïve, but because she chooses to trust. Every time, she chooses to believe that people are more than their worst side. She's sensitive, emotional, radiant. And she's used to earning everything on her own. He's been burned by love. He's spent his life chasing the wrong person, skimming the surface so he wouldn't have to feel too much-because the only one who ever truly loved him left far too soon. He comes from an important family, from a world where the path is already set and choices are never truly free. She speaks with her heart in her hands, lets herself go, trusts him without knowing who he really is. And that throws him into crisis. He desires her, but he can't afford her. In his polished world, built on appearances and opportunism, Aurora is an anomaly. Almost like a magic lamp. She doesn't seek perfection. She doesn't demand excellence. She asks only for honesty. A sincerity he isn't capable of giving. Aurora has never felt interest in anyone-she's never been with any boy. Yet being close to him ignites desires and sensations she can't name. Tom is ironic, brilliant, magnetic. An arrogant show-off with freckles and a breathtaking smile. But behind those smiles there's something that doesn't add up. A shadow she senses without being able to define it. And yet she can't stop choosing him. Even when everyone around her keeps warning her.

The last TrueBlood ( Taekook )

Lissa asked "I had a mission." She looked me up and down and shook her head. "It's true! My mom and I were assigned to protect a guy over in Turkey." "Yeah okay. I guess that's why you wouldn't talk to me for four whole days then just up and disappeared!" Tears shown in her green eyes and I hated that I was hurting her so badly. "Lissa. Please.

His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.Complete
