JunHyung sat at a very expensive looking restaurant in a private room. He wore sunglasses and sat at the table cover in crimson red cloth. He had very curly blonde hair with the side shaved off. He had small dark circle starting to form under his eyes. He play on his phone waiting for someone.

             “Seven years, already. HaNeul would have been seven years this year.” He admires her face, “How are you I haven’t heard from you in seven years also. I went all over the globe to look for you but it seems like you disappeared from the face of the earth.” He looked at his watch. “It already eight and this person isn’t here yet.” He whines. He starts to tap his fingers on the table out of irritation.

             B2ST just got done practicing and were exhausted. JunHyung walks into his room and lay on the bottom bunk, breathless. He turns on his phone and looks at his screen. A picture of MinSeul’s was on his phone. The picture out.

RING RING

            “Hello.” He was annoyed

            “JunHyung-sunbae,”

            “Ne, In Guk-a.”

            “Can you do me a favor?”

            “Ne?”

            “I have to go on a blind date and I don’t want to go. Can you go for me?”

            “Waeyo?”

            “Because I know that sunbae really likes girls and from what I heard she isn’t all that bad.”

            “Then why don’t you go?”

            “I like someone already.” He complained over the phone, “Jebal sunbae, I heard she has her own business too.”

            “Arraso.” He agrees after hearing that, “When?”   

            “The day after tomorrow.”

            He broke out of his trance as soon as the door behind him slid open. He slips his phone into his pocket and sat up straight.

            “I’m sorry, did you wait long.” He didn’t know why but he suddenly felt calm at the sound of her voice, but he didn’t dare look at her as she sat down in the seat across from him.

            “Finally you are here.” He act like he is irritated, “Next time please be on time, my time isn’t for you to waste. Especially people like me.”

            “Goodness I said sorry.” MinSeul wonder who this person was, he seem like a narcissist, “You know not everyone is as ignorant as you.”

            “What did you say?” he finally looks at her but didn’t even recognize her, “Do you know who I am?”           

            “No I don’t and I don’t want to know.” MinSeul smirks and glares at him behind her glasses.

            “If you knew who I was you’ll probably ask to be my friend.” He chuckles, “Then again I pick and choose my friends. And you miss aren’t one of them.” MinSeul looks up at his face and tried to figure where she heard that phrase before. “What, finally recognize who I am?” he gave her a cocky smile.

            “Aniyo.” She brushes her hair back, “It just…that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.” MinSeul smirks, “You are a real narcissist…you know that. I guess that is why your parents sit up a blind date for you.” He lean in forward.

            “What about you? Surely there has to be something wrong if you got set up also.”

            “Nothing is wrong, maybe your parent are worried about you.” MinSeul looks at her watch, “Arraso, since we already know we don’t get along lets end it here.”

            “Agree.” JunHyung stood up and walked out the door with MinSeul not too far behind him. He didn’t why he was angry, but his heart was beating. He took off his glasses and placed his hands on his waist, “Who does she think she is?” MinSeul walked up not too far away from him. She had also took her glasses off and fixed her hair.

            JunHyung’s heart beat faster and faster when he finally recognized who she was. She changed so much he could barely recognize her. She walked to her car and he followed her trying to make sure it was her.

            “OMG!” some girls screamed scaring MinSeul and JunHyung. They ran to him and crowded him, “Oppa!” MinSeul recognized his hair right away.

            “I guess you are somebody important.” She gets into her car and drives past the crowd. JunHyung tried to get to the car but was stopped.

-----

            JunHyung couldn’t sleep that night but wonder if it really was MinSeul. He tossed and turn in his bed. He wanted to figure it out. He gets up and dials In Guk’s number.

            “Sunbae-nim?” InGuk sounded tired, “Why are you calling at this hour?”

            “The girl who I went on a blind date with what is her name?”

            “Bwoh? Waeyo?”

            “I think I might know her.” He sighs, “She might be the person I have been looking for.”

            “I’ll ask my parents and send you the information tomorrow.”        

            “Thank you.”

------

            JunHyung’s car was parked outside of a café. He observe the café from inside his car. He wears his hood over his head and walks in to the café. He looks around not recognizing anyone. He walks to the counter and the barista greets him.

            “How may I help you?”

            “I want to talk to EunJi.”

            “EunJi?”

            “Ne, it very urgent.”

            “Go ahead and seat yourself and I’ll get her for you.” He walks over to a booth in the corner and sat down. He hand his hand together and making circles with his thumbs. EunJi walks over and is very curious at who asked for her. She slides into the booth. He looks up at her and is surprise to see a whole different person, “I ask for EunJi.” He stares at her through his glasses, “Who are you?”

            “I am EunJi.”

            “You aren’t the person I met last night.”

            “Last night?”

            “Yes, the blind date.” She smiles shyly

            “Oh that…I actually had my friend go for me.”

            “Chingu?” EunJi nods, “Who is your friend?”

            “Her name is Park MinSeul.” He was about to jump out of her seat at the sound of her name. “She is a florist. She arranges and sells the best flowers in town.”

            “How old is she?”      

            “She is about 25.”

            “Can you give me her address?”

            “Ne.” he took out his phone and she type it in.

            “Thank you.” He ran out as soon as she was finished. He went right into his car and drove off to the flower shop.

            MinSeul was in the back of the shop rearranging flowers and putting them in display vases. MinSeul couldn’t help but wonder who the guy was from last night. He seem too familiar for a guy that she has met for the first time.

            “MinSeul-ssi.” Her worker walked in the back room, her cheeks were as pink as pink could get.

            “Yes” MinSeul set down her tools.

            “There is a-a,” she sighs, “There is a handsome guy asking for you outside.”

            “Do you know what he wants?”

            “He wants to speak to you.” She tries to calm herself down, “He said that it is urgent.” MinSeul wipes her hand on her apron and walks out to the front. The guy was looking at flowers on the shelves. He had a tall build and spikey brown hair.

            “How can I help you?” The guy turns around

            “I would just like an opinion on what to get an old friend.” He turns around and smiles at her.

            “DooJoon?”

            “Hello, MinSeul.” MinSeul walks around and hugs him.

            “Oh my goodness. It is so great to see you.” She smiled from ear to ear as they sat down, “What have you been up to?”

            “You seriously don’t know.”

            “What?” she look confused. He chuckles

            “Then again you are a tree hugger I don’t expect you to know a lot of things going on in social media right now.”

            “What?”

            “I’m a performer now…idol actually.”

            “Wow…that probably explains why my worker was blushing like mad earlier.” They both laugh.

            “I’m sorry about that actually. I promise her a photo later before I leave. It hard trying to not draw attention.”

            “How on earth did you find me?”

            “KiKwang.”

            “KiKiwang...how on earth did he-.” She thought about it, “Never mind.” She lean into her chair and took a deep breath.

            “So why a flower shop?” DooJoon looked around, “You were never the girly type to like flowers.”

            “I always liked plants. I was never really into business like what my parents are into.” MinSeul plays around with her finger, “After HaNeul…I just thought about flowers and how precious they were, just like HaNeul. So I decided to put one and one together. And what you know flower shop.” She sighs, “Enough about me, what about you?”

            “Let just say being and idol is worse than being a Kingka.” He smirks, “more girls and that fan included and JunHyung.”

            “JunHyung?”

            “Yeah, all of us actually got into the idol world together. JunHyung became girl crazy after…” he looks at MinSeul, “Let just say he wasn’t the same and refuses to date any other girl.”

            “Some people don’t change I see.” She smile disappeared, “At least he is working and not some druggy.” MinSeul looks at her watch, “How about we go out to lunch? It around that time anyways.” DooJoon looks at his watch.

            “How about we head to the company and join the guys there?” he looks at her, “The guys would be happy to see you.”

            “Arraso…let me grab my bag and we’ll head there.”

            As soon as MinSeul and DooJoon drives off JunHyung pulls in. He runs to the front door and enters the flower shop. MinSeul’s worker turns and swear she could faint any minute.

            “I’m here to meet MinSeul.”  

            “You just missed her.” The worker said, “She left with somebody.”

            “Who?”

            “Sorry I’m not allowed to tell.”

------

            The four younger members are sitting in their dorm waiting for DooJoon and JunHyung so that they can eat lunch together.

            “Why aren’t they here yet?”

            “Hyung said he’ll be here in a bit.” KiKwang had his head on the table, “Something about a surprise also.”  

            “It better be fried chicken.” Said DongWoon.

            KNOCK KNOCK

            HyunSeung open up the door with DooJoon standing in the doorway with cans of beer. “What is the big surprise?” HyunSeung watch DooJoon walk in and was about to closed the door when he notice a small figure standing in the door way. He was flabbergasted.

            “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

            “Of course come in.” MinSeul walks in through the door with groceries.

            “HyunSeung what is taking you so long?” DongWoon walks to the door and stops as soon as he sees her, “MinSeul-noona?”

            “What?” Everyone can hear Yeosob and KiKwang run towards the door. Yeosob walks toward MinSeul and was surprise at her appearance.

            “Hello Yeosob, KiKwang.” She smiles at the boys. HyunSeung took the food from her.

            “Noona.” Yeosob grabs her and twirls her in a hug, “we missed you so much.” He finally puts her down, “You gotten so…daebak.” He put a thumb up.

            “Thank you. Why don’t we catch up over food?”

            JunHyung unlock the door with his key and walks into the dorm. He hears the boys laughing and talking about something. He notice some girl shoe and thought it was Hyuna’s. He walks towards the dining area. He sees the back of the girl.

            “Oh JunHyung, come, come.” KiKwang walks over and places an arm around his shoulder. KiKwang walks over and looks down at the girl but it wasn’t MinSeul.

            “JunHyung-ssi.” YeonYeon stood up, “It is great to see you again.”

            “YeonYeon if you are here where is JungHo.”

            “In the bathroom. He’ll come out eventually.” JunHyung notice the all the food on the table.

            “What is the occasion?” He asked

            “Reunion.” DooJoon pats his back, “Just a happen reunion and JungHo popped the question. So a toast to that as well.”

            JunHyung walks into the kitchen and sees another girl cooking. She looked just like Hyuna from the back. She froze as soon as he talked.

            “Hyuna so you are here too?” he asked, “I didn’t know you cook?” He looked at the dishes on the table. The aroma filled his lungs and memories were brought back to him; the time MinSeul brought food over to him.

            “Min are you done cooking?” YeonYeon enter the kitchen as well. JunHyung froze at the familiar name. She turns around and he swear he could have gotten a heart attack.

            “Yes, I’ll take them out.”  MinSeul was going to grab the last dish but YeonYeon took it.

            “No it is okay I will.” YeonYeon left the kitchen leaving only them. They gave each other awkward stares before MinSeul walks out of the kitchen to join everyone in the dining area. After lunch everyone had a free hour. MinSeul had to leave back to the flower shop.

            “MinSeul.” JunHyung ran to the door, “I’ll drop you off.”

            “Aniya I can go on my own.”

            “It okay.” He opens the door and wait for MinSeul to exit. They both exit the building and get into the car. “H-how have you been?” he could barely speak, “All these year.”

            “Great, you?”

            “Fine.”

            “I see that you are still the same.”

            “What?”

            “I pick and choose my friends.” She imitated him. He was embarrassed.

            “So it was you last night.”

            “Surprised?” she smiles, “I didn’t recognized you until the end of the night. You’ve gotten more handsome. Despite the fact that you are an idol now, your status still hasn’t change.”

            “You’re a florist.” MinSeul nods. JunHyung had tons of question that was unanswered, “When you left we never got to clear things up between you and me. I felt bad for that.”

            “There is nothing to feel bad for. The past is in the past, nothing matters anymore.”           

            “If you really have forgotten about the past then prove it to me.”

            “Arraso, how do you want me to prove it?” Minseul smiles.

            “Tomorrow,” He looks over at her, “I have the day off. Let hang out.”

            “Where?”

            “I’ll pick you up.”

            “You an idol picking me up from this shop.” MinSeul chuckles, “That will be a scandal.”

            “A scandal will be good for us.” MinSeul hits him on his shoulder and all he did was smile back, “I take that as a yes.”

            “We’ll just have to wait and see.” MinSeul alighted his car. He rolled down his window.

            “See you at 12:30.” He rolled up his window and drove off with a smile. MinSeul walks into her shop with a smile. Her worker was getting ready to close up the shop when she saw her employer.

            “So do you know them?”

            “Who?”

            “B2ST, he is from that group isn’t he?”

            “Oh, yeah.” She smiles, “We all graduated from the same school all of actually.”

            “So you know the whole group.” MinSeul nods and her worker freaks out. MinSeul was shocked as the girl in front of her screams in excitement, “Can you get me all of their autographs?” Minseul smiles.

            “For my best worker I’ll try.”

            “But I’m your only worker.” She says

            “Exactly.” MinSeul smiles at the girl and she went wild. She ran and gave MinSeul a hug.

-------------

            JunHyung woke up early the next day and got ready. He spiked up his hair with gel and put a sliver stud in his ear. He put on a grey polo with a black jacket on top. He wore denim skinny blue jeans with sneakers. He checks himself out in the mirror before leaving the bathroom.

            He grabs his phone, keys and a pair of his sunglasses and headed out of his room. He walked past DooJoon.

            “Where are you going?” JunHyung turns and looks at DooJoon.

            “Bwoh?”

            “I was asking where are you going this early in the day, you never get up this early unless you have too.” He observes JunHyung from top to bottom, “What is with the outfit?” JunHyung checks himself out, “You are going on a date huh?” JunHyung scratch the back of his neck.

            “Yea.”

            “Did you tell the manager?”

            “I have the day off today.”   

            “Still what if they come looking for you.”

            “You can fill in for me.” JunHyung grabs a snapback and places it on his head and walks out the door. When JunHyung arrives at the shop it was closed, “Bwoh?” he was looking through all the windows and every entrance and nobody was there.

            “What are you doing?” a voice came from behind him. It was an older lady that looked like she owned the place next door, “Why are you snooping around here?”

            “Umm…,” he wipes his hands on his pants, “I wanted to buy some flowers.”        

            “Oh, they don’t open today.”

            “Waeyo?”

            “I don’t know…but today is the day she usually closes.”

            “Thank you hal-eomoni.” He went back to his car and took out his phone. “I don’t have her number. Aish.” He lean his head onto the steering wheel, “I just got stood up.”

            He heard a light tap on his window. He looks up at the passenger window. MinSeul was on the other side looking at him with a smile.
