I walked in to the candy shop. I said my goodbye to my best friend as she walked away heading towards home. I looked around at all the candy and felt how suddenly I started to get dizzy. The sweetness made my head spin and heart beat stronger. Candy, my ultimate love.

I took the few lollipops, gum sticks, I was like a hurricane shoving everything from the shelves to my bag. I could easily explain my happiness. Today was my sister's birthday and I was shopping not only for myself, but for her too.

I rarely got to see my sister after she moved out, so I wanted this to be special. My head stopped working right about the moment, it was so much left to do and such a little time until guests starts coming over. I was repeating the list of things I needed to buy before the party and the kept on checking my schedule.

As I came to pay for my things a young cashier smiled at me. He was tall and his dark hair matched his eyes. At any other day I might have blushed or even started flirting with him, but today I was so concentrated on my sister I didn't even notice him smiling.

"It will be ten thirty."

He stated and I got my wallet out of the backpack. I quickly payed and grinned towards him too.

"Thank you, love you, bye."

I turned around, when suddenly the realization stroke. My face turned all red and I stopped breathing, I swear for a second I forgot what my name was, I was so embarrassed.

I looked at him again, but he was just smiling like before.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't really thinking."

I blurted out an apology, the guy chuckled and leaned in closer.

"Maybe you should first give me a chance to take you on a date and when think about love?"

He teased me and I just stood there red like a lobster heavily breathing, trying not to say something stupid again and make even bigger fool of myself if that's possible.

"I'm sorry, okay?"

I didn't want him to get any stupid ideas, since I wasn't flirting with him and my words were just an accident.

"So no date when?"

He asked looking sad and bit his lip. I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders.

"It was an accident."

"But I asked you on purpose."

He told me in serious face and now I was the one biting my lip. Why was I holding myself back? The guy was really fine and I liked the sweet slash punk style he was rocking. I couldn't even manage to understand how he balanced it out so perfectly.

"Bye."

I said laughing and I saw his reflection on the window in front of me. Our eyes didn't meet, but I saw him scanning my back as I walked out the shop.

-The next day-

"Come on, I really need some good sugar dose."

My best friend pulled me in to the same candy shop I went to yesterday. She wanted some sweets badly. And to be honest, she deserved it, her test result came back great. So I just let her take me to the shop with her.

I suddenly felt some strange feeling, like a mix of sadness and... gladness? The guy from yesterday wasn't behind the cash register and I sighted in relief. I either would have ignored him and it all would have went really awkward or... Or I might start thinking about liking him.

And it wasn't a good idea, I had to focus on my studies and I knew it.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around hoping that my friend was done with her shopping and we could have went home and studied as she promised me. But instead it was the cashier from yesterday.

He had a chocolate rose in his hands and the smile, sweeter than all of the worlds candies put together, on his face. I unintentionally smiled to him and chuckled.

"What are you doing?"

He kneeled in front of me and I heard silent gasp, I looked at the direction where it came from and my friend with bags and bags of candy where standing there with her jaw on the floor. She winked at me and stood in between the shelves few steps away from us, trying not to interfere.

"The rose for milady."

I took the rose from his hands and pretended to inhale. When looked back at him and squinted my eyes.

"I have a name you know."

I replied quite coldly considering that he just gifted me with chocolate rose.

"Well, I wasn't blessed with fortune of knowing it."

I hid my smile behind the rose and winked at him surprising the guy big time.

"Maybe it's for the best."

I seriously nodded and I could swear but he looked like I just hit him with a chair, on his head, while running him over with a truck.

"As you say, Milady."

He bowed to me and was about to walk away, but I stopped him by grabbing his wrist with my hand, which wasn't occupied with holding a rose he just gave me.

"But my I know your name?"

I asked him and but my lip again. He blinked and nodded.

"Kim Seok-jin."

"Kim Seok-jin, would you like to go out with me?"

He blinked few more times and opened his mouth to answer, but instead the gasp came out his mouth.

"But I thought-"

I came closer to him and he stopped talking.

"Want to know my name?"

He happily grinned and I took that as a yes.

"When go on a date with me."

I finished and he sort of fell backwards as I quickly backed up from him.

"I'll treat you right, I promise."

He was serious.

"Oh, I have no doubt." I waved with the rose in front of his face. „With manners like this you could treat the witch right."

It was supposed to be the compliment, but of course, my geeky side decided to show up right at the wrong moment and I blushed in embarrassment.

"If that witch was as beautiful as you, than yes."

That compliment made me feel like I was the prettiest girl in the whole entire world.

"I guess, I really do love you."

I jokingly stated and he laughed.

"First maybe try to go on a date with me, when you can decide whether you really like me that much."

I needed no dates, I knew this man was almost too perfect to handle.

"I'm sure to find out, am I not?"

"Yes, yes you are."

He came in closer and hugged me. The sweet scent of candy tickled my nose. I caught a single thought of the wish that this sweetness would keep on following us no matter how many years pass.
