Oh dammit!!
I'm late. What kept me asleep till this time?
Gosh, I'm gonna lose my job, and dad is gonna disown me for this.
Just kidding with the last part. He's never gonna do that to me, but the first part can come true if I don't hurry right now.

After hurriedly completing the morning chores, I left for the shop. I took a cab till there, and sat inside patiently.

After around 20 minutes, I arrived at my destination. I paid the driver and entered the shop, and saw Mrs. Kim slowly arranging the flowers, which is  supposed to be my job.

"Good morning dear!" She happily greeted me as always.

"Good morning Mrs. Kim, I'm sorry I'm late." I said, letting out a nervous chuckle.

"It's ok dear, no worries. Now that you're here, please resume your job because I'll be gone for a while."

"Sure, I'll take care of the work now."

With that, she took her purse and left from there. And I started arranging the flowers, and separating some from the new stock that just arrived yesterday.

As I was busy doing it, the bell chimed signalling someone's arrival. I looked up to find a familiar face entering the shop.

"Hi Ava."
"Oh hi Jungkook. What brings you here?"

"Uh, actually I wanted some flowers. I'm gonna visit my parents' grave today, so I'll be needing the flowers."
He said, a little touch of sadness in his voice.

"Oh okay. Which ones do you want?"

" Actually I want 2 bouquets, one of orchids and the other one of Camellia. Mom used to love those flowers."

"Give me a moment Kook. I'll bring them right away."

(This is the Camellia flower, in case you wonder)

Poor Jungkook.
He has also faced very huge loss in his life.
Why do such tragedies happen with people?
All of them have the right to be happy, but why does God do such things with them?
Only God knows about this.

As I quickly made both the bouquets, I went to hand them over to him.

"Here are your bouquets." I handed them over to him.

"Thank you. How much for these?"

"No need, these are on me."

"But......"
"Now go away, I have a lot of work to do."
"I guess you won't let me pay. Bye."
"Bye Kookie. Take care."
"You too."

As he left, I did the rest of my work, and went to sit on the chair, as there were no customers.

Suddenly, a loud thud was heard inside, and I got shocked.
I looked but there was nothing. I silently got up, my senses alert, to find out what just happened.
