Standing in the flower shop, SEOL HAEUN smiles softly as she waters the plants, the sun light trickling in.

She was happier that she had ever been. Bliss and joy runs through her system with every thought she has of him. She never knew that someone could make her so happy for no reason, without having someone to talk or tell a joke but instead with just a small smile.

Haeun never knew that a person could be so happy when they're in love.

"Haeun-ah!"

The girl snaps out of her daze, looking up to see a short old woman at the door frame, smiling. Haeun puts down the watering can, running over to her grandmother and hugs her tightly.

"Grandma! You were gone for so long~", she mopes, jutting out her lower lip. "You were gone for almost three weeks!"
"I'm sorry, but my friends wanted me to stay longer. I was going to come back earlier this week, but because of the snow I couldn't", Ms.Seol apologizes, stroking her granddaughter's hair. "And it looks like my baby is better now, right?"

Haeun nods, smiling. "Let me take your bags, it must be heavy", she insists, reaching over to take the suitcase.
"Haeun, you don't need to. I'm still strong, I got it. You go wait for your boyfriend", Ms.Seol responds, going over to the door and trots up the stairs. The girl blushes, holding her pink cheeks in her hands as her heart begins to thump wildly.

"'Boyfriend'? Is that what I am now?", she hears a voice ask behind him.

Haeun's heart skips a beat, trying to calm down her heated cheeks as she turns around. A small hint of disappointment lingers in her system to find out that it wasn't Kenta but Daniel.
"No, not you. And guess what!", she exclaims.

"What?"
"You're suppose to guess"

Daniel groans, leaning his head back. "God, I hate when people do that"

"Whatever. I guess you won't find out", she hums, walking behind the counter.
"I'm okay with that", he chuckles, walking next to her.

"Oh, hi Daniel", Ms.Seol greet him. Daniel turns around, bowing at her.
"Hello, Ms.Seol", he smiles. "Is that what you wanted me to guess?"

Haeun shakes her head, hearing the store's bell ding. She looks up, a smile forming on her. Kenta waves, a small small grin on his face as he approaches the three of them.

Her heart starts to pound against her chest as butterflies flap around her stomach. She's seen him many times before, seen his face all the time now but that doesn't stop her from falling for him over again. She doesn't understand why people hate butterflies because that feeling was truly magical to her. Before it was such a foreign feeling but now—
It always happened when Kenta came to her.

And she doesn't hate it one bit.

"Hello, Ms.Seol. Hi Daniel", Kenta greets, bowing.
"Hi Kenta", Ms.Seol says, smiling at him. Daniel waves, still in shock that the Takada Kenta is talking.

"And hello, 私の花", he smiles at Haeun. She tilts at him confused, not understanding his Japanese.
"He said, 'my flower'", her grandmother translates.

"You know Japanese?", Haeun asks, baffled.
"I lived in Japan with my family when I was a little girl", the old woman shrugs, grinning mischievously.

Daniel stays oddly silent as the three of them talk, his eyebrows furrowed together as he thinks to himself. He was confused, no doubt there.
"'My flower'? That sounds like a nickname a boyfriend would give to his lover", Daniel thinks out loud, tilting his head.

Haeun blushes once more and Kenta chuckles, ruffling her hair.
"You didn't tell them yet?", he tilts his head, pouting cutely. "What am I to you then, hmm?"
