Chapter 3:Peony (Good health)
Okay I don't know why but I just can't stop writing this story so yeah here's the third chapter only some hours after the second hehe.^^
Okay let's start~
It's already been three days since the last Monday Chanyeol came to the flower shop.That day we exchanged numbers.I really don't know why but this man makes me wanna be closer with him.He's funny,full of joy and I'm glad he thinks of me as a friend.But I don't want to lie to him.I will tell him soon that I'm a girl.I can't lie to him for much longer.It's not right.
"Hey Mr. Son."I said as I entered the flower shop.I got no answer.I walked in and left my jacket and bag with some manga in it on the chair behind the cash table.On my way here I brought some of the manga I read but I didn't have the time to leave them at my apartment.
Suddenly my phone vibrated.I got it out of my pocket and saw that Chanyeol has sent me a message."Finally."I said and read the message.
~Hey Nick.Are you free this Saturday afternoon?
-Chanyeol~
"Why are you grinning at your phone?"I almost jumped from my seat.
"Mr. Son.I-I wasn't grinning."I said and rubbed the back of my neck.
"Haha don't be shy boy.Are you talking with your girlfriend or something?"He hit my back and laughed.
"Aha not really."
"Don't lie son.You're all red."I touched my cheeks.Am I really blushing?Why?
"Ah haha."I laughed awkwardly and looked at my cell again.Mr. Son went back to the back garden.He really likes to take care of the flowers and trees there.After awhile I replied to Chanyeol.
~Why do you ask?
-Nick~
I got up from the chair cause a costumer came in the shop and left my phone on the table."What would you like?"I asked and the little girl,not older than 7, looked at me.She seems really bothered by something.
"I want...a flower for my mother.She is in the hospital.Which is the cheapest one?"She said all shy.
"Do you like peonies?"I smiled at her and she looked at me in wonder.
"I don't know this flower."She said and I gave her my hand.She took it and I lead her where the peonies are.I knelt down.
"Aren't they beautiful?"I asked her and she nodded with a cute smile."Peony is the flower of healing or better of good health.I think that if you get it to your mom she will get better soon."
"Are you sure?But I don't have much money.If it's expensive I can't buy it."She looked down with a pout.I patted her head and she looked at me.
"You can get it for free.It's okay."I smiled and her small eyes widened.
"Is that okay?"She asked and I nodded.I cut one peony and gave it to her."Thank you so much."She said and bowed.
"It's okay.I hope your mother will be okay soon.Give it to her and tell her what this flower means.It will cheer her up."
"Thank you so much."She smiled and left.I stood up and turned around.I saw Chanyeol leaning against the wall and my eyes widened.
"Hey."He smiled and waved at me.
"What are you doing here?"I asked him and walked back to the cash table.He followed me.
"You weren't replying to my message and I was nearby so here I am."
"Oh you answered?Sorry I left my phone here and I was with that little girl."I said and he chuckled.
"It's okay.This girl.Her family is really poor and her mother was diagnosed to have cancer recently.Poor her."
"How do you know that?"
"She is in the same hospital with my sister."I looked in his eyes not knowing what to say in heard of his words.
"Why is your sister at the hospital?"
"Leukemia."He said.He doesn't look sad though.He must be really strong.
"I'm sorry."I said and he patted my head.
"Hehe it's okay dude.Well about Saturday afternoon.Wanna go watch a movie with me?"He is full of smiles again.
"Sure,monkey ears.Hehe."I giggled and he frowned.
"Yahh.Stop calling me that."He complained with a pout.
"Nope."
"Then I'm calling you shortie.Shortie."He raised his eyebrowns.
"I'm not short,monkey ears."Well I'm 1,73 and I'm a girl.This is not short.But he thinks I'm a guy so it's a given.
"Yes you are,shortie."He insisted and I couldn't but laugh.He acts like a child."Don't laugh.Anyway.Saturday at 8 p.m..At the cinema neardy.Don't be late,shortie."
"Okay."I said and he nodded.
"I'm leaving.And oh you said that peonies symbolize good health right?Can I get a bouquet of them?"
"Yeah why not.And wait,since when have you been here to have listened to that?"I wondered.
"Won't tell you,shortie."
"Aigoo,okay."I prepared the bouquet and enfolded it with more ribbons than usual.Now that I know that is for his sister I think making it more girly will be nice.He paid for it and I gave it to him.
"I always give her white flowers cause it's her favorite flower.Do you think she will like this one?"He asked while observing carefully the bouquet.He is holding this simple bouquet like it's so precious.
"I think she will love them.Tell her the meaning of this flower and I think she will like them even more."I smiled and he looked at me weirdly with eyes wide open."What?"I asked and he looked at the flowers again.
"Nothing.Don't be late to come on Saturday."
"I won't.See you."I waved at him and he left.So he has a sister in the hospital.He is so caring.Buying for her every week her favorite flower.I opened the door to the back garden and looked around for Mr. Son.I walked towards him and he looked at me the moment he realized I was there.
"I didn't see you coming Nick.Hey,why are you smiling like that?Something good happened with your girlfriend."He said and I felt my cheeks becoming hot.
"No.It's nothing."I muttered.
"Hehe be careful of women.They are as sweet as scary.Like Anagalis.Such a cute but poisonous flower."He continued pruning the small tree.
"You don't have to tell me that hehe."If only he knew he is talking to a woman.I don't know why but I'm really excited about this Saturday.
Hehe I hope it was good and you enjoyed reading it guys.I don't know when will I update next though.
Okay see you next time~^__^~
