Rose

Y'all, I am so sorry for not updating recently. I've been facing writer's, Im-writing-too-many-stories-block. Well, I hope that this is worth it for the wait. Also, I have a mini series on the way! Be on the lookout! But, you'll have to read the Lilac one-shot for context. Well, hope y'all enjoy reading! (Thank you for over 260 reads!)

Up above the clear blue sky, like a cloud following the wind, he hopes that she doesn't go too far away. He hopes that she'll stay where she is.

Aiden Archaya, a hard working and busy photographer is going to the local coffee shop by his apartment. He used to go there only a few times a week, but ever since he saw that girl, he's been going there everyday, just to see her. He goes there by bike, and when he makes it there, he locks his bike and goes inside, inhaling the sweet aroma of the shop.

He goes up to the counter and orders the usual, and takes his seat by the window. He looks around for a moment and then he sees her. Her face stayed in his heart every day, and today, he decided that this was the day he's going to go talk to her. She's like a spring day, pretty and he loves it. He gets up, taking his drink with him and sits next to the girl, who's talking with someone.

"Hey," he manages to say.

She stops talking and looks behind her, her eyes going wide. "H-hi," she stammers.

"How are you?"

"Okay, and you?"

"I'm fine."

She mumbles something under her breath. "What's your name? I Apollo-gize for my manners."

She chuckles. "My name's Aru. What's yours?"

"I'm Aiden."

"I've heard about you before, you're that well known photographer right? You sometimes take photos of idols, correct?"

"Yes, why?"

"Because my sister-like best friend is debuting in Korea, and she's told me about you."

"Mini, right?"

She nods. "She's part of the group-"

"Immortality?"

"Yep."

"Are you just going to ignore me, Aru?" her friend asks.

Aru turns around and her friend gets up from her seat and whispers something in her ear. "Seriously, sis?" Aru blurts as her sister walks away, a sly grin on her face.

"What was that about?"

"She was just teasing me."

"Oh, okay."

There's an awkward silence for a little bit. All those days of thinking of how he could approach her, even though he looked shy and cheesy from a distance, he couldn't help it, because he loves her.

"So, want to see some pictures Mini and I took together?"

She perks up. "Sure!"

He pulls out his phone and goes to his gallery, and scrolls until he finds the pictures. "Here they are," he says, handing the phone to Aru.

She looks at the pictures, chuckling once in a while, and sighing. "You miss her a lot don't you?"

"Yeah,"

"I miss my Mom every day, but she's in a better place now."

"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss."

"It's okay, Aru."
