Minho is coming down the stairs for breakfast. He goes to the dining room to find his parents already seated at the table. He greets them with a smile.

"Good morning, mom, dad" Like every other morning, he kisses his mother's cheek and takes a seat beside her. It is pancakes for today. Yummy! He reaches over for his hot chocolate and takes a sip. It feels so refreshing. Later on, he pours over a great amount of syrup on the pancakes. Now he is ready to enjoy his breakfast

"Oh son, I forgot to inform you last night. The Kwon family is inviting us over for lunch at their house. Be ready, okay?" Mr. Choi stops his activity from reading the newspaper to glance at his son. Minho pauses and lifts his head up from the plate to face his father

"Huh? What, as in today?" he gazes at his father with his big, round eyes

"Yeah, we'll leave at 11. Don't be late" Mr. Choi gives his attention back to the newspaper. At 11 a.m?

"What time is it now, mom?" he turns his head to look at Mrs. Choi

"Right now? It's past 9a.m, why?" she answers after glancing at the watch on her wrist. Minho gasps and stares at the table. It's already past 9a.m? Omo, then it's less than two hours left! Without wasting another second, he rushes over to grab his fork and takes a few bites of the pancakes. He munches it as fast as he can and swallows it by drinking his hot chocolate. Mr. and Mrs. Choi pause for a moment to observe him

"Choi Minho, are you really that hungry? Eat slowly" says Mrs. Choi with her eyes still dazing at him in amusement. Minho finally puts his fork down to the table and grabs a tissue to wipe his mouth

"Mom, I have to go" he stands up from his seat and runs to the living room to grab his coat hanging on the rack. Mr. and Mrs. Choi keep their eyes on him

"Yah Choi Minho, where are you going??" she yells at him whose about to leave the main door of the house. Hearing her shout, he immediately pauses his fast tracks and runs back to the dining room to get her

"No time to explain. I'll be right back, okay? Bye!" he quickly kisses her cheek and rushes back to the door while putting his coat in. He closes the door behind him

"Aish, this kid. Where is he going in such a hurry??" she wonders to herself, still staring at the door. He hasn't even finished his pancakes yet. Mr. Choi turns to his wife and just shrugs his shoulders.

Minho is running beside the streets of Seoul. He takes a glance at his watch to check the current time. It's 9.40a.m. He stops his steps for a while to have a look around. He is looking for that one particular floral store. Minho heard that the store sells all kinds of floras and that most people would purchase flowers there for important events, but he can't remember the exact location. Where could it be? He locks his eyes to look at a couple with flowers on their hands. He keeps his pace up to take a look at a narrow alley that the couple just walked out from. There it is! On the left side of the alley! He smiles in happiness and runs over to the store.

"Annyeonghaseyo. May I help you?" a worker in a white blouse greets him when he walks in through the door

"Annyeonghaseyo" he politely bows back to her and turns his head to look at all the flowers inside the store. Wow, there's so many. Which one should I choose? He bites his bottom lip while looking at the flowers one by one. All of them are of different colors but beautiful, which makes it even harder for him

"What are you looking for?" the worker asks him after seeing his clueless expression. It's obvious that he needs help

"Yes? Oh, err..." he stutters while rubbing the back of his neck, still thinking what to choose over these hundred kinds of flowers. Since he has no experience at all and that he does not yet know what Yuri likes, he is feeling even more pressured. His eyes then caught a glimpse of red roses placed at the left side of the store. A smile occurs on his face. Of course! Red roses will do, right??

"Could you please wrap me a dozen of those red roses over there?" Minho turns to her while pointing at the roses. The worker nods to him as a reply and walks over to the flowers with Minho following behind her

"Err, excuse me. I don't really know about these kinds of things, but most girls would like roses, right?" he shyly asks her while she is picking up the flowers. She lifts her head up to look at him and she giggles to see his ears turning red

"Yes. Are you getting these for your girlfriend?" she asks him

"Well, she's my fiance-to-be" he bows his head and smiles shyly

"Oh, really? Congratulations! No worries, I'm sure she will like them" she smiles assuringly to Minho. She carries the flowers to the counter and starts to wrap them up beautifully. While waiting, Minho looks around again to keep a closer look at the beautiful flowers. He then sees a lot of white daisies next to the purple orchids. The daisies are shining brightly under the small light flashing through the store's window and it catches his attention. They are beautiful. Should I get these too? He turns back to the counter

"Errr, excuse me" he speaks out to her. The worker pauses her work and looks at Minho

"Can you also wrap a dozen of those white daisies too? Thank you" he slightly bows his head in thanks. She nods once more and goes over to the daisies. When she has done wrapping both of the flowers, Minho pays for them and walks out of the store. He closes his eyes and smells the fragrance of each flower in his hands. They smell wonderful! At least that lessens the pressure inside of him. His lips curled up. Yuri will like it, right?

*Ding! Dong! Mr. Kwon can hear the doorbell ringing from the living room. He glances at the clock hanging on the wall. It's half past 11. Could it be that they're here already? Mr. Kwon wonders in his head.

"Who's at the door, honey?" his wife yells at him from the kitchen

"Not sure. I'll go get it" he yells back to his wife. He goes over to reach the door

"Hey, Yoon Seung!" Mr. Choi appears in front of him the moment he opens the door, with Mrs. Choi and Minho behind him

"Hey, Mu Yeol! You're early!" Mr. Kwon greets his best friend with a smile and hugs him

"We purposely came early so that I can help Mi Sun prepare for lunch. She's busy in the kitchen., right?" Mrs. Choi asks him

"Yes, she is. Aigoo... You don't have to do that, Hee Song-ssi. Well, come inside. Make yourselves at home" Mr. Kwon chuckles, motioning his hand to lead them into the house

"Hee Song-ssi, my wife is in the kitchen. That way. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you" Mr. Kwon tells her. Mrs. Choi nods her head politely with a smile and heads straight to the kitchen to help Mrs. Kwon, leaving Minho and her husband in the living room

"Mu Yeol, how about I show you around while we wait for our wives to prepare for lunch?" asks Mr. Kwon while hitting his arm lightly

"Sounds great!" Mr. Choi chuckles. They both leave to look at the rooms upstairs on the first floor, with Minho now all alone in the living room. He is still holding two of the flowers that he just bought behind his back. He looks around the house to look for Yuri but he can't find her anywhere. Hmm, where could she be? Could it be that she's still sleeping? He pouts while peeking at every hallway in the house.

Since he still can't find her, Minho gives in and decides to go to the kitchen to meet Mrs. Kwon. When he gets to the door, he can see that she and his mother are talking to each other with their hands still busy cooking and slicing veggies.

"Aunt Kwon, annyeonghaseyo!" Minho greets her brightly with a bow, being careful not to let her notice of the flowers he's holding behind his back

"Oh Minho, annyeong!" Mrs. Kwon stops cutting the veggies for a while and waves excitedly at him

"Please come in, Minho-ah" she stands up from her seat and motions her hand, signaling Minho to come closer to her. He listens to her and goes to stand in front of the table

"Are you looking for Yuri?" asks Mrs. Kwon. Minho giggles and shakes his head

"No, I want to meet you first" he grins cheekily while Mrs. Choi can only giggle watching her son

"Me? Why?" Mrs. Kwon raises her eyebrows in confusion

"For you, Aunt Kwon..." he takes out the white daisies that he's been holding in his right hand and gives it to her while slightly bowing his head. Mrs. Kwon gasps in surprise and slowly accepts it

"Minho-ah... You don't have to" she says slowly. Even though it's just a simple matter yet it is enough to make her heart feel so touched

"No, of course I should. I just felt that I have to at least bring a gift coming into your house. I'm rather sorry if these flowers are not that satisfying to you" he slightly bows in apology

"No! I LOVE daisies. Thank you, Minho-ah! That's so sweet of you" Mrs. Kwon quickly explains to not let him misunderstand. She pinches his cheek aggressively as if he's a little kid. Mrs. Choi smiles at the sight. As expected, Minho always knows how to move the hearts of the elders

"Aunt Kwon! It hurts!" he groans while pouting. Mrs. Kwon lets go and chuckles at his childish behavior

"Okay, I get it. I'm gonna go and continue cooking now with your mother. Yuri is at the back garden. Go and see her while you're waiting for us" she pats his cheek softly. Now knowing where she is, he can't wait to meet her and smiles happily

"Okay. Thanks, Aunt Kwon!" he quickly bows and walks in a fast pace back to the hallway. Mrs. Choi and Mrs. Kwon can only smile and shake their heads of the enthusiastic Minho.

Minho is still wandering around the hallways of the house. He takes a look around with a clueless expression shown on his face. It seems like he's lost inside the big mansion. Minho smells the roses he's holding in his hands. They're still as fragrant as before. He keeps going through in and out of every passage and finally stumbled upon two young maids who are busy cleaning the vases in the hallway. He decides to approach them and ask for help.

"Excuse me. I'm very sorry for bothering you, but could you tell me where the backdoor to the back garden is? I'm kinda lost" he rubs the back of his neck with his hand. The maids look at him in astonishment. He is very good-looking. Who is he supposed to be?

"Oh, just go straight and turn to the left side. At the next hallway, you'll see at the far end that there's another corner on the right side. You'll be able to get there" one of the maids direct him the way with a smile

"I see... Please carry on with your work. Thank you!" he smiles in thanks and leaves for the next hallway. The maids get closer to each other and start to gossip

"Yah, who is he?" asks the maid who directed Minho the way just now

"Isn't he Miss Yuri's fiance-to-be? If I'm not mistaken, his name is Choi Minho!" she answers in excitement

"That's him? Wow, he is so handsome! Did you see the roses in his hands? I bet he's giving it to Miss Yuri. She's so lucky!" she says dreamily with her hands gripped together to the side of her face

"So charming! Yah, the others are on the third floor cleaning up the store room. Let's tell them! They'd be so jealous that we've already gotten to see Miss Yuri's future fiance!" she grabs her colleagues's arm. The other eagerly nods in agreement and they start to run through the hallway to get to the third floor.
