11.00 AM

"Ding-dong!" The bell rings. Today is off from school for the whole of our class because of something they call winter cleaning. I really don't know what that means. Maybe the group of janitors are all going to sanitize the classrooms and clean all of the teaching-learning equipment, ensuring they are all working in proper condition.

I run to get the person at the door. Taehyung is still on bed, the lazy ass. His snores can be clearly heard across the hallway. I giggle slowly while opening the door.

"Hey!" The bunny-faced guy at the door gives me a warm smile while bowing. I can't help but smile back.

"Hi...who are you?" I ask politely.

"My name is Jungkook. I have come from that beautiful flower shop round the corner with the flower pots you ordered." He winks at me. The guy is cute, I will admit.

I look beyond him. He has indeed come with the said pots. "Are you Yoongi's younger brother?" I put forth my gut-feeling.

"Falling for him already, are we?" He playfully raises an eyebrow. I roll my eyes. "Uff Jungkook I am just curious. I want to-"

"Ahhh yes, I am his younger brother. I help him around with the deliveries and stuff...or some chores."

"Okay..." I nod my head.

"Where can I put these at?" He points at the pots kept in resting state on the ground behind him. I open the door wider and ask him to come in. He carries the pots in.

"Leave them here." I say, pointing at the floor of the living room leading up to the kitchen. He obliges. He then straightens up and wipes his brow.

"Bye-" He says, in a passing tone of voice, walking to the main door. "It was nice meeting you, our new customer!" He bows while exiting. I smile. He is so sweet.

"Bye!" I reply as I lock the door shut from inside.

2.30 PM

"Y/N!" Taehyung calls out for me from his bedroom. I walk to it and push the door open with my leg.

"What is it?" I ask, slightly irritated because of being disturbed from my daily serious math practice sessions.

"I forgot to pay for the flowers..." He gives me a goofy smile. I shake my head.

"Don't expect me to go all the way there just to make a teeny payment. I am not going to-"

"Please Y/N! I have to do my mandatory coursework today...I will get you your favorite sundae if you agree..." He looks at me with large, pleading puppy eyes.

"Fine..." I say, suddenly realizing the twin benefits of going there. One, I would get my favorite Brownie Blast stoned sundae, and Tae will be the one paying. And the most important perk, I would get to see, meet and speak with my new interest Yoongi...wait a minute. Has he become my crush?

Whatever. I sigh. "Where is the money?" I ask him.

He points to a wad of cash kept by the bedside table. "Here."

I walk to the table and stuff the cash into my jeans pocket. He asks me to take the cash receipt with me as well. "Just in case he has forgotten who you are."

I have a gut feeling he has not.

I make my way to the main door waving goodbye to Taehyung. "Bye, Y/N!" He coos. "Don't be late...gotta get that ice cream sundae!"

"Yeah, sure Tae..." I mumble as I walk towards my parked bicycle. Cycling is among my favorite pastimes, and I am pretty good at it, sometimes having beaten even boys at the sport.

I mount the bicycle after dusting the seat with a piece of soiled cloth that is always kept by it. I am so excited at the prospect of meeting Yoongi, the florist who has stolen my heart.

The noontime breeze is unusually calming in nature.

3.15 PM

I ring the vintage copper bell while pushing the door open. Yoongi is working at his desk, probably doing some calculations.

"Hi!" I greet him. He looks up from his notepad. And gives me a sweet smile.

"Hello!" He sounds so welcoming. His tone is so pleasing!

"Do you...remember me? I am Y/N...from that day-"

"Yeah I do. How could I forget you? You're so beautiful..." He cuts my small talk off with these words spoken completely with a straight face.

Oh My God! Did he just say I am beautiful? I think I am going to die...!
