Is there really a reason to fall in love? . . .  I think it’s the same reason people come to my shop and buy flowers. I always see people looking for the best bouquet of flowers for their significant other.  If they only see that for their significant other, the only thing that would be the best is their simple presence.

 

PLUS! I have a life and I don’t want to spend it all, seeing people give flowers to more than one lover. These cheaters deserve to have someone use them like they use others. Then again, that would make those people be as low as them. Oh, well, people need to live.

 

As I was walking through the storage room, checking off flowers that needed to be ordered and the ones that were in full, I suddenly felt a liquid substance on my shoulder, looking up, I saw no leaking. So, I kept walking and felt the same liquid on my other shoulder. I turned around to find myself face to face with my associate.  

 

“What are you doing?” I said.

 

“Trying to catch a night-crawler” She said. 

 

“What does that have to do with me??”

 

“You do know it’s 4 pm. ”

 

“so?”

 

“what do you mean “so”, jung byunghee?”  I think I just poked the bear in the wrong spot.

 

“Today is Friday and the store needs to be ready for that company coming in on Monday morning, or did you forget, the last company didn’t like us, so, the first impression is what makes or breaks our store on monday?”

 

I seriously need stop pulling excuses out of my . Did I really come up with that just now?

 

“what, I received no memo of this.. What are you talking about?” She said walking to a stalk of boxes and sitting on it with her hand covering her face.

“when were you planning on telling me that there was more offers to expand the business? Of all the times, you could have told me, you choose now. Urgh”

 

I guess I really did pull it out of my .

 

“Well, this is the reaction I wanted to avoid at all costs, seeing you panic like this is not good for your health”  As I said the last words she looked up and walked towards me and hugged me like there was no tomorrow, I was shocked but I let go of the clipboard I was holding and wrapped my hands around her waist. She slowly started to lift her hands from my neck to cup my face. 

 

The more I stood there with her and just looking at her eyes, at how she simply needed me with her. I knew that no words were needed to be said, we both knew that we wanted to be with each other but wasn’t possible. It was like there was an invisible force field holding us apart.

 

“Minyoung, you should go home, he must me waiting for you”  Nice way to kill the mood, byunghee. Real smooth.

 

“I..I … you’re right” she stepped backwards and fixed her eyes, touching here and there, to let her small tears do the less damage to her makeup.

 

“yeah, see you on Monday.”  she giggled when I said that.

 

“I’ll only say this once, ” I’m taking a wild guess she talking about the lie I just made up about the company… like I really need an excuse to be in my own flower shop at 4 pm , knowing perfectly well that there would be no one around to do what…. Steal. Yeah, like I really want to steal from myself…

 

“If you ever tell me again that I forgot something as manners again. I won’t be easy on you” so this wasn’t about that. 

“understood but I said that because you were the one that knocked over flower juice all over the CEO’s  $100,000 suit in less than 3 minutes of their arrival.”   , way to dig your own grave.

 

“JUNG BYUNGHEE, that was a DAMN accident. You know that.”

 

“yeah, yeah, go home.”

 

“urgh”

 

“bye”

 

“urgh”

 

“bye”

 

As she glared at me for a few more minutes she reluctantly left the storage room, slamming the front door of the shop hard. Well, at least I got her out.

 

Sigh.

 

Retrieving my clipboard and going back to marking off things. I kept looking back at the spot Minyoung was sitting a few minutes ago, then over to my shoulder to see the water slowly drying away. Ah, Minyoung, I’ve known her since we were kids, doing everything until that damn day, urgh. She’s the only one that knows the real me, the one before and after that terrible day , as if it wasn’t enough already, not only was she my best friend for all the reasons out there but I always wanted to be more than her best friend. I knew she had feelings for me. But what we feel for each other will probably never happen, not until the wedding is called off and she gets over the death of her grandmother that was more than the usual “granny, stop pinching my cheeks.”

I could understand that after her grandmother died, she felt even lonelier in her family. She was so different from them, but I understood that, that wasn’t the main reason as to why she had to take care of her health because she has a wedding she has to plan and without proper care, it won’t be a fairy-tale wedding like her parents want it to be.  Out of her entire family the only one that I loved was her and her grandmother, as she used to call me “bearded man, take her somewhere nice tonight”. yeah, I liked that lady.

Coming out of my thoughts, I turned to the office in the back of the store, my office to be exact.

 

Walking towards my medium-sized office in the far back of the store. I turned the key to open the door and walking in as I closed the door closed and clicking the lock. I walked to my favorite chair and laid the clipboard down. Sighing for the 10th time that day, I looked at the picture on the wall across my desk, sighing yet again, I got it and walked towards it and moved it to the side to get the folded papers behind it. Then walking to unlock the door and grabbing my jacket and putting the papers in my pants pocket.

 

Leaving the office walking through the storage room and coming towards the front desk of the flower shop, looking at the things on display and the correct prices of some of the ornaments did I walk to the front door, opening it to come in contact with the slight cold windy breeze of the city street. This neighborhood really had a way of being creepily lonely sometimes.. Usually at this time of day, it would still have people walking their dogs or some neighborhood like thing, like that at any type of day/time.

 

Crossing a few streets here and there. I come face to face with the place I need to be at.

Walking in trough the door, I’m greeted by the sound of nothing. Nothing is playing it seems so dead. Ha!

 

Walking down the stairs, I see a few people drinking at the bar, the bartender bows at me as I wave my hand to acknowledge him, walking past a few tables. I see my target. Taking out the papers from my pants’ pocket. I waive them and see my target glance in my direction and stands up from the booth he is sitting at and walks up to me and bows slightly as I come to a halt. 

 

“jang soohyun” he said. Ah, that’s right, how could I forget. Remembering how I acted before, I quickly reply in a different voice, more of a husky feeling to it.

 

“hello, nichkhun” He smiles, leading me to where he was previously sitting. I turn to sit and see his right hand man, jang woo young. Well, isn’t he similing more than usual, or at least since the last time I saw him.

I greet him with a simple waive and he acknowledges it.

“soohyun, here is the usual reports” nichkhun says handing me the papers in exchange of the ones in my hand.  We flip though the papers as wooyoung eyes me , sitting right next to nichkhun while he is engrossed with the papers I had handed him.

 

I look to nichkhun.

 

“Well, thank you for the progress, I suppose next month it is?”

 

“yes, as for this, is this something for the club?”

 

“yes and no. I need you find people that can handle with a “no questions asked” policy. And the club, as I can see is working fine but precautions are always necessary.” 

 

Both of them looked at me and simply nodded, knowing that , that was how they were hired and has served them well with asking nothing more than expected.  They are both very cool people that have been in very much gratitude towards me for having given them jobs no one else gave them a chance to. These two have served me well, as for their paychecks, well, I don’t expect any complains since all I see now is diamond watches and couple rings from them…..

 

Wait…. 

 

Yeah….

 

Couple rings… 

 

“nichkhun, is there something I should know, that you haven’t told me about?” eying the hands.

 

As he looks at me staring at his hands and wooyoung’s, he catches what I was implying, scratching the back of his head as the previous conversation completely forgotten and wooyoung as his side blushing slightly.

 

“ahhhhhh, soohyun, I meant to tell you earlier this month since you have been well, the only person in my life that I trust, you know like more than simple co-workers, like friends as stuff..” 

Yeah, this just got weird. 

 

“continue..”

 

“well, wooandiareboyfriends” 

 

I see….

 

“repeat that?”

 

“umm, woo and I are together, together.”

 

I sat there staring at them both, as they exchanged glances with each other. 

 

I am happy for them, I really am , its just shocking. Last time I remember these two didn’t like being around each other so, now its simply explains that there was that finally and I do mean, finally got release and helped them realize their feelings…yeah, that didn’t sound corny at all.

 

“as in dating?”

 

“yeah, I .. hope-”

 

“congrats”

 

They both looked at me with wide eyes as if this wasn’t what the reaction they wanted. 

 

“Is there something wrong?” I asked.

 

“no, its just you‘re our boss”

 

“and?”

 

“well, we just said that we are gay and you are a straight man..”

 

“and your point is?”

 

“well..”

“yeah, there is nothing wrong with loving someone although society might not like it, it doesn‘t matter as long as you have the one you love on your side its all good.” 

 

That’s it. Today was corny jung byunghee day. 

 

“ah, soohyun, thanks, man. That means a lot coming from you.”

 

“hey, you’re happy, I’m happy” checking my watch I see it time to leave for my next stop of the night.

 

“as much fun it was seeing you guys, its time to go. See you next month.”

 

“so soon? Ah, well, boss, it was nice seeing you, and the people you need, by next visit you want it done?”

 

“yes, nichkhun, do what you have to do, to get it done. As for you, wooyoung.”

 

As I got out from the booth and facing both nichkhun and wooyoung, wooyoung looked up at me like a kid waiting for a new toy.

 

“are you bottom?”

 

Yeah, blushing really didn’t help his case. I knew it.

 

He’s bottom.

 

Walking to the exit, all I could hear both of them bickering and nichkhun trying to calm down the embarrassed wooyoung.

 

As  I reached the top of the stairs and looked out onto the street I couldn’t help but notice two people walking up the street , they also seemed to be bickering something about dinner, huh.

 

I’m hungry.

 

Walking a the opposite way, I walked into a convenient store to get a few snacks before heading to the next stop of places to visit tonight.

Spending enough time to pay, eat, sit, at the convenient store, I found that I haven’t been here more than an hour or two before realizing it was pretty dark.  Finally getting up from one of the chairs offered inside the place. I fixed my jacket, checked my cell for messages and headed out the door. Not even 3 feet away from the store was I blocked by some men in black suits.

 

“are you jung byunghee, a.k.a. Jang sooyoung a.k.a. lee junsu?”

 

Well this is weird? He’s obviously missing all 28 other a.k.a.s

 

“a.k.a?”

 

“as in?”

 

“are you?” these men obviously knew about what I was trying to do.

 

Delay.

 

“there is two was of coming with us?” ah! The two ultimatums

 

“the good one or the bad one?” I said.

 

“yes, your choice”

 

“HELL NO!”  I said struggling against the men that were surrounding me. There was no way in hell was I going to choice either of those options. Who do they think they are demanding me to choice.

 

Before I could try and do anything to get away…I saw stars ( out).

 

 

 

“not again” said the men in black.
