The flowers you see

blooming in the sunshine were once hidden

seeds waiting patiently for the rain."

You kept yourself occupied helping Chiji with the wedding arrangements after your most embarrassing encounter with the charming Mr Kim. The Kim wedding will be the most gorgeous with pastel pinks, lilacs, and white blossoms. You even constructed a tiny basket for your grandmother and filled it with her favourite dry fruit snacks. The two teenagers had finished their work for the day and had left. You and Chiji were the only ones working on Mr Kim's basket in the workshop. You apologised to your grandmother multiple times.

She could only smile and give you a warm hug. You commit to behaving, but everyone in the shop knows it'll be wishful thinking.

You can't help but react in your unique fashion to things. Unfortunately, your way is not the best, making you popular with people.

You and Pablo exchanged text messages. You smile as you consider how much he missed you. You're having trouble forgetting about the intriguing man in the shop after your altercation with your grandmother. You couldn't take his face out of your mind. He had you enthralled. You're itching to get home and draw him. You wished you had taken a picture of his face.

When you inquire about him with Chiji, you are astounded to learn that he is a well-known novelist whose works have been made into blockbusters. He appeared to be very humble. You were even more surprised to learn that he is the President of a well-known publishing house. Chiji thought it hilarious when she told you about the wealthy Billionaire, how he and his friends graced themselves on many magazine covers and financial news publications.

You took a big breath and sighed, knowing that you'd never be in that young man's league. She mentioned the 7 Bangtan Elite club to you. Three of them are already married, have kids, or expect kids. In addition, he only dates gorgeous, sophisticated, wealthy women in his league.

As you stuffed the snacks into the floral basket, you shook your head dejectedly.

"Please take my sincerest apology, Chiji...Grandma has almost lost it all because of me. I should probably apologise to... Mr Kim. I'm curious about his name. Grandma said I needed to make an apology card, so I did. Grandma also advised that I write a letter of apology." You made a sad face with your lips pursed. You've never been so hesitant to show your face before.

Softly, Chiji smiles. "He has a good face. Kim Namjoon's full name is Kim Namjoon. I understand why you'd feel that way. However, super-wealthy people must either marry into super-wealthy families or be well-known. I was convinced you were expected to jump on him...the chemistry between you two was unmistakable." She gushed, her eyes twinkling with delight as she looked at you.

With a shake of your head, you expressed your unhappiness with your current situation. "What possessed me to do it in the first place? Chiji. Now I'm humiliated. It wasn't like I could blame it on the devil. I had a deep desire to kiss those luscious lips. I'm not sure how I'll apologise to that hot guy now. If he sees me, he will file charges or obtain a restraining order against me.,don't you want to give me my letter, Chiji? I'll get you the best facial items available. Please, don't tell Grams, do it for me!" You closely grip her warm, chubby body, appealing and begging her to assist you.

"Sorry, my cousin, but your grams wants footage that you truly made the apologies," Chiji chuckled as she patted your tiny shoulders.

Chiji is looking forward to meeting up with your 'hot man again. Mr Kim Namjoon had Y/n captivated, she realised.

Grams wants me to grovel on the floor, so you groan as you let your hands fall at your side." Is there any way I can go any lower? .. Grams may have been deployed to the military. She's more fierce than a general's viciousness." You click your tongue, suggesting that you have finally succumbed.

You and Chiji began with Mr Kim's flower basket after finishing with your grandmother's baskets. You have no idea what kinds of flowers he prefers.

"Chiji, could you help lookup Mr Kim's favourite flowers on his social media accounts?" I don't want to succumb to temptation and download all his images on my phone. Please." You're well aware that you may end up as a hopeless stalker.

Chiji guffawed, "No worries, cuz. I'm going to phone his office. I believe your grandmother has his PA's number.

You relax, "Please accept my thanks. It could be in my grandmother's address book, or you could ask your dad if he got it."

A nod from Chiji "Please give me a moment to grab it. We're going out to dinner tonight, according to your grandma."

"I can't wait to have some Korean BBQ. Let me quickly select a catalogue arrangement." You browse through the VIP flower gift sets as Chiji rushes to the office to acquire the number. You grams were adamant that it had to be a high-priced item. You scoff internally; the smallest flower box in that range costs 300,000 won. You're not as wealthy as your grams. You don't even get a lot of money from your mommy. You only have a tiny sum of money from the art studio.

You groan as you slam your head against the workshop's wooden pillar. Why did your hormones betray you in such a manner? You'll need to phone your mother and ask her to transfer money to your soon-to-be-empty bank account.

There will be a significant dent, and you will still need to bribe Chiji with cosmetics. Although Chiji is dating a paramedic at a local hospital, you don't have a boyfriend. He is quite attractive and a little older than her, but he intends to marry her.

You occasionally feel envious of her romantic life, knowing that Pablo's the only man who could love you enough, but your mother wants you to marry a native Korean.

You bit the inside of your cheek and shook the negative thoughts away.

"Tada!" Chiji exclaimed as she entered, flashing a small piece of paper in her hands. When the object of your affection came in this afternoon, my dad wrote it down," She will tease you mercilessly.

You're hoping your grandmother doesn't tell your mother about your embarrassing behaviour. When you turn 23, you may never get a car from your mother.

"He's not the 'object of my affection,'" you said, scrunching up your nose. He is just exceptionally handsome. Enough with the nonsense. Please call and find out." you breathe it out. Fanning yourself inwardly as your thoughts drift to Mr Kim.

Chiji laughed at your sour tone, "Ok--" she said grinning with a teasing glint in her eyes,as she picked up her phone and dialled the number for Kim Publishing's secretary. She was able to reach the PA. She informed Mr Kim's PA, Yeji, that Mr Kim had received a gift from Kwon Petals, that you required his favourite flowers, and that it was a surprise not to reveal it to Mr Kim.

"Purple wisteria and white, pink roses are his favourite flowers."She chuckles.

"Wisteria? Is he terrified of demons? Some people think that these flowers may ward off demons. Isn't it true that some of them are poisonous to dogs and cats?" You make a scowl. Mr Kim has an odd sense of taste. However, some Kims' wedding centrepieces will use white wisteria blooms.

Chiji laughs. "For the arrangement, we can use a few purple pieces. He'll receive a bottle of champagne and chocolates with custard filling."

"My cash flow is a little problematic. Please only use red wine." You plead with her.

"Not on your grandmother's watch; she'd already put the champagne. Come on," She beckoned you to the work table, which already had a basket on display.

It took you at least 10 minutes to complete the task. It was a gigantic arrangement, complete with his favourite roses. It will be delivered by you and Ch6 pm in the morning tomorrow.

When your grandmother left the workplace, it was almost 6 p.m. It was time to taste the cuisine of the area.

You all got in your grandmother's car and drove to the BBQ Buffet. You were giddy and hungry at the same time. You didn't wait for an invitation to enter the restaurant when you got there. You and Chiji were the first to arrive at the buffet and select your grilling meat. She like beef, so you go with black pork. Your grandmother will pay the bill. You'd better hope she doesn't insist that you pay the bill as compensation. On the Italian black market, she and Mr Kim's bouquets cost almost as much as your liver.

Your grandmother appears to be a little relaxed after the altercation, and the talk is enjoyable. The Kims love the sample, and you and Chiji will give it your all to make all of the lapel bouquets for the wedding party's men.

You and Chiji will deliver the gift to the Kim House of Publishing, and you're worried that if you send a staff member with the bouquet, your grandmother will find out. Your cheeks flushed once more from the shame you brought on yourself, and you wondered how Mr Kim would react. But, yeah, he's "hot," and you'll continue to be unapologetic about it.

You secretly wish you had a picture of him. You can download all of his images from his Instagram or Facebook pages, but you'll be tempted to stalk him daily, so to stay sane, politely ask him sweetly for a photo. If he refuses, tell Chiji to take a picture of his face secretly. . Why gives yourself a headache? You'll screenshot it or steal one from his social media account. He can't sue you because he's a celebrity, for goodness sake.

"Why are you spacing out so much,--it seems like you're in your universe," Chiji inquired, his brows raised.

"Just thinking," you say with a small smile and a head shake as you try to finish your meat."

"Oh....about Mr Kim Namjoon," she says jokingly as she looks at your grandmother.

Yes--no! "But after the mess I've made, I'm scared to walk up and see him face to face," you cutely pout as you bite into a piece of meat.

"Well, he can't be furious at you...he stayed transfixed as you --lovingly touched his face-I'm sure our Frosty Fairy turned him on!" As your cheeks got hotter than ever, she teased you. You've never dated before and have no social cues about how to behave in the presence of a very handsome man. It makes you feel hot and bothered.

"This isn't funny. Chiji! You have a boyfriend, and I've never kissed a boy before. I'm so pathetic. It's no surprise that I'm disliked. I'm not sure why my mother brought me here to look for a suitable man. The Korean guys aren't interested in me. Instead, I could just marry Pablo and live with him on his boathouse, selling his lovely artwork "with a sorrowful expression, you wistfully say

"Come on, Y/n, you're one of our family's most beautiful cousins. You stand out from the crowd. Your platinum silver hair is natural, and your eyes shift from a dazzling blue when you're happy to a stormy grey when you're unhappy or melancholy. I'm sure you're aware of my admiration for your beauty. Are you looking at me?" As she indicated her figure, Chiji grimaced.

"Well, Chiji, you've always been a foodie since elementary school. You were three times your current size. But you have someone who appreciates your chubbiness. Who will like my weird looks? Do you realise how often the name Elsa from Frozen has been used to tease me at school? Frosty--Whity - Albino - Ice Queen - Icicle - Polar Bear - White Mouse - and now I'm Frosty Fairy, which is easier for me to swallow. My father is somebody I've never met. My mother recently told me that I resemble my paternal grandma. But, according to Momma, they despise us, so it doesn't count." Your grandma notices that you've suddenly become depressed.

"Don't be such a cynical child. Pay some attention to Chiji. You are one-of-a-kind, and every pot has a lid. As a result, you are still too young to get married. Your mother is an idiot for forcing you to choose a type. Wait for the perfect man to come along, and he'll love all of you. Even that bluntness," Your grandmother gives you a friendly pat on the shoulder. You shook your head. You're not sure.

"If you don't eat your dinner, I'll let you pick up the bill," your grandmother said, smiling. Your eyes widen, and you immediately stuff some vegetables into your mouth as she kicks you under the table. Chiji sniggers. As all of you begin to appreciate the rest of your dinner. Your uncle laughs highly intoxicated by soju's.

After ten o'clock, you all departed. You ate, drank, laughed, and sang as a family, especially with your Uncle. He was singing loudly because of his excessive drinking.

Your grandmother couldn't take your uncle's embarrassing behavior any longer, so she took the father and daughter home a few blocks away.

You and Chiji will work furiously on the wedding arrangements tomorrow, after the dreaded first delivery.
