Flowers and Cigarettes

Description

Shownu is a humble businessman; fixing engines for a living and smelling like gasoline 24/7. His workshop is located at the bad part of town so when a flower shop opens right beside his garage, Shownu knows he has to convince them to move. However, it doesn’t help that the young florist, Moonbyul looks as delicate as the daisies she gave him on their first meeting.

 

Foreword

Out of habit, Shownu gets out a cigarette and lighter. Anxiety forces him to smoke but once he manages to light up the end of the cigarette already in between his mouth, the cigarette suddenly flies out of his grasp. It takes a total of three seconds for the mechanic to realise that the petite woman had flicked it off with her manicured nails. She walks over and stomps out the flame with the tip of her red high heels. Shownu can only blink.

 

“No smoking,” The young woman says, flicking her finger on Shownu’s nose. “Especially in this corridor. Go inside your shop  to smoke if you need to. I can’t have my flowers smell like cigarettes.”

 

With that, she spins on her heel and walks away. Shownu stares at the remnants of his cigarette on the ground, because that was the last one. The mechanic sticks the daisies into a half filled plastic water bottle on his desk. He locks up with a frown then gets in his car. He has a family dinner to get to.

 

The mechanic tries not to peek out of his car, to see what the prim and proper florist was up to. But he does, and easily spots her bending down to water her flowers. Her hazel eyes are almost doe-like.There are brown streaks in her long black wavy hair that shone in the sunlight. The polka-dot white and red dress makes her look like Minnie Mouse. And Shownu thinks that maybe he could try to be Mickey Mouse instead.

Because the young man had never been so enamored with a woman in his entire life.


 

Author's Note:

The first fic dedicated to Monsta X's Shownu (Finally someone other than BTS oh my lord) 

I'm trying new genres with this fic and trying to stay away from gangs and guns. Think of it as an experimental romance/comedy/fluff

All I have to say about this is that. One, it was tiring to write what the i think im bleeding out my soul here. 2. Love is both dangerous and blissful. 

It's finally completed. I'm happy with how Moonbyul turned out; a feminine character who took matters into her own hands- something that we don't see alot here on this site.

Chapter 2: Awww That was such a cute story. I usually only read one chapter a day (pretty lazy and a bit busy to read more) but I couldn't stop myself from reading the entire thing in one sitting. I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for giving us this nice Shownu story.

This isn't a pairing I've seen elsewhere, so I'm excited to see how this turns out.
