“Oh you are here again. Here are the flowers that you wanted.” The toothy guy smiled warmly to the old lady. Granny had noticed this friendly young man coming to her garden at least twice a week since a month back and always ordered 2 bouquets of flowers consisting of roses and forget-me-not with baby’s breath respectively, through the small counter catered for direct buyers. Granny was used to the lean guy of not speaking much and often with a small voice of thank you. She thought he could be a foreigner who could not speak Korean well when he showed a note with written names of the flowers he wanted to order on the first visit to the garden counter. The guy had a thick line of healed scar on his forehead which the old gardener was concerned but refrained from asking. She had grew a liking towards the honest looking chap who always seemed so polite. “Hey wait young man! Here…I’ll give you some lilies. Thank you for coming over so frequently and buy flowers from me.” Granny beamed. The guy bowed and accepted the flowers.

Follow your heart.” Minyeon was quiet and just rearranging her stuff aimlessly with her mind in a mess. She told herself that she should not harbour any hope of getting love from Woohyun. She reminded herself that she should not entertain the thoughts of having Woohyun by her side. She deserved to be alone. She should not be living a happy life when her sister did not get to enjoy it. But she missed Woohyun. A lot.

“Are you hiring?” A seemingly weird pitch husky voice floated into granny’s ears. The stranger was pointing at the white board written “Delivery helper needed”. The old gardener recognised the toothy non-local looking customer and clapped her hands. “Oh yes! Do you want to apply for the job?” The smiley guy nodded. “So young man, can you start work tomorrow?” The guy thought for a moment before nodding his head again. “Gr
