Wonwoo wasn't always a theif, you know.

These moments of stealing weren't necessarily his favorite moments, however after feeling the thrill and rush of it all, he found it hard to stop.

Not to mention, what he was taking wasn't for him, but for his sister.

He'd never steal for himself, but the flowers that he secretly snipped off from his neighbors garden were worth it for her.

It wasn't intentional, as he usually purchased flowers for her grave at a nearby flower shop, however once he caught a glimpse of the garden that his neighbor had grown, he couldn't help but take a few. 

He didn't know much about the person who lived in the house aside from the fact that the owner lived by himself and that his gardening skills were amazing.

He had no idea how this man did it, yet his flowers always ended up being the most vibrant, strong, most detailed flowers he could ever lay his eyes on. 

It started off with pulling only a few small ones off of the stems, yet eventually it turned to him taking over a dozen of the beautiful bundles of joy.

Usually things went smoothly, as the owner seemed to be at work on most days, however luck was not on his side today.

Stupidly, Wonwoo had completely forgotten that the owner of the house typically took off on the last friday of each month to catch up on work at home, resulting in him being caught red handed in the midde of his garden.

"So you're the one who'se been stealing my flowers?" The man spoke up from his porch, startling Wonwoo from below him. 

Wonwoo looked up at him, dumbfound as he stood with his mouth hanging open.

"I-I'm sorry..." He choked out, looking down at his feet. 

"...he's home today?"

"And who exactly were those flowers for?" The man questioned. "A girl?" 

Wonwoo nodded, tiptoeing around the flowers to get out of the garden.

"Yeah...a girl." He said, smiling sheepishly.

"I'm not lying..."

The man nodded, taking a moment to think about what kind of punishment he should enforce onto the man standing before him.

"Well, if you're going to be using my flowers, I think I should see this girl to make sure that she's worth my hard efforts to maintain these flowers, right?" He smirked at the expression on Wonwoo's face as he made his way down to the enterence of the garden. 

"U-Uh..." Wonwoo stuttered, figeting with his hands.

"If you don't, I'll have to call somebody on you for stealing my plants on my property." He crossed his arms, giving him a stern look. "Or, you can bring me to this girl so I can see for myself if I think she's pretty enough."

Wonwoo reluctantly nodded his head, looking down as he lead the man to his destination: The Graveyard. 

"Alright, alright." Wonwoo shook his head. "Just...follow me."

"How the hell am I getting out of this?"

After a few minutes of awkward silence between the duo, Wonwoo decided to break the tension.

"So...." Wonwoo started "What's your name?"

"Mingyu, Kim Mingyu." He said, holding his hand out for Wonwoo to shake "And yours?"

"Jeon Wonwoo." He smiled at him.

"He's not ugly to look at. How dissappinting."

"How long have you known this girl, exactly?" Mingyu asked. "Just so I know how long my flowers have been getting stolen."

"A long time." Wonwoo looked down at the ground. "A very long time."

Mingyu nodded, taking in his surroundings. "Are we close to wherever you guys meet up?"

"Uh..a few more blocks..." Wonwoo said. "I doubt you've ever been there before."

Mingyu gave him a weird look, shaking his head.

"Where do you go to school?" He questioned. 

"Why does this man care?"

"I graduated from college three months ago." He said.

"So you're around twenty-two?" Mingyu asked, recieving a nod from the other. "I'm younger, then."

"W-What?" Wonwoo asked, looking the man beside him up and down. "How old are you?"

"Twenty-one." He smiled. "I graduated early due to some family issues. It's why I'm living alone while being so young."

Wonwoo was once again dumbfound as he looked at the other man. 

He had always seen Mingyu as somebody in their mid-twenties due to his maturity, yet the man before him ended up being younger.

"Wow..." He trailed off.

"What family issues, if you don't mind me asking.." Wonwoo started.

"Uh...in summary, my family needs money but can't get it for themselves. I'd live with them if they wanted me to, but they didn't want that for whatever reason." Mingyu shrugged. "Are we getting closer to this place? We've been walking for thirty minutes now..." Mingyu rechecked his surroundings. "Don't think that i'm going to give up just because this place is far, Wonwoo. I'll walk another four hours if I have to."

Wonwoo sighed, running his hands through his hair. "Relax, relax." He held his hand out to stop Mingyus complaints. "We're almost there."

Mingyu groaned as he continued to mindlessly follow Wonwoo, causing him to smirk.

"I do this walk all the time, you know." He shook his head. 

"We should've just driven if I'd known it'd be this long." Mingyu shook his head. "Does this girlfriend of yours have a car? 

Wonwoo shook his head. "She never learned how to drive." 

"What?" Mingyu's eyes widened as he looked at Wonwoo. "Is this girl just lazy, or young? And how young, exactly? Because you really shouldn't be going around with some stupid teenager." 

Wonwoo threw his head back and groaned. 

"Oh, relax. She's not lazy, she just never got around to it..."

Mingyu shrugged, deciding to drop it as he looked around once more. 

"This place is kind of glum, isn't it?" He noted. "The only thing around here is the nearby graveyard."

"I know." Wonwoo sighed. "That's where we're going." 

Mingyu chucked a little bit, amused by Wonwoo's sense of humor, before realizing that Wonwoo wasn't joking.

"W-We're what?!" Mingyu exclaimed. "What the hell are you and your girlfriend doing in a graveyard? Oh, god." He rubbed his temples out of stress. "Is this a joke, Wonwoo?"

"It's not." He said, quickening his pace as the graveyard became closer. "This is where I go to meet her."

"What the hell is wrong with the two of you?" Mingyu tensed up as they were appoaching the enterence. "Can she just come outside here, then?" 

"She can't sadly.." Wonwoo trailed off, glancing over at Mingyu, who was visibly uncomfortable with this whole situation. "You've never been to a graveyard?"

"I have, but never on a date." Mingyu muttered, scanning the gaveyard. "Nobody is here...Where is she?"

Wonwoo shook his head at Mingyus cluelessness. 

"Does he really not get it?"

"Just follow me." He grabbed Mingyus hand after he noticed Mingyu's reluctance, and lead him to his destinstion, finally stopping before a tombstone covered in withered flowers.

"We're here..." Wonwoo trailed off, bending down to carefully place down the flowers he held in his hands. 

He looked up to Mingyu, who finally understood what was happening. 

"Oh..." The last name on the tombstone explained everything before Wonwoo could even start.

"Your mother?" Mingyu asked.

"Sister." Wonwoo corrected. "I'm sorry that you can't see her, but she was beautiful. Really."

Mingyu nodded, shifting uncomfortably. 

"I'm sorry for making you bring me...I didn't know where these flowers were going." He looked down at the withered flowers and recognised them as ones that he'd once grown in his own garden.

"It's okay." Wonwoo smiled at him. "As you said, you didn't know. You have every right to know where your flowers are going."

Mingyu nodded to himself.

"Let's get out of here." Wonwoo smiled at Mingyu, retaking his hand to lead him out.

"You don't have to hold my hand, you know." Mingyu wiggled his hand free. "I'm not a baby."

"You were shaking when we came in." Wonwoo chucked. "I figured i'd comfort you."

Mingyu gave him a dirty look, but made no efforts in correcting him. 

"You can continue using my flowers..." Mingyu muttered after some time. "But if you ever take them to a girl who isn't burried six feet below, i'm going to have to meet her."

"You'll never have to worry about that." Wonwoo smirked. "You wanna here a little twist?"

Mingyu nodded in confusion. 

"I don't like women." Wonwoo said, noting the reaction that Mingyu had. 

"Wow...that makes two of us." He chucked, smiling to himself.

Wonwoo shook his head, throwing his head back in laughter. 

"Wow. Gays really do find each other, huh." 

"Well, are you free right now?" Mingyu asked. "I could got for a coffee, if you're interested."

"Woah, are you asking me out on a date? Just because i'm gay doesn't mean that i'm suddenly 'The One', you know." Wonwoo gave him a weird look.

"I'm not asking you out because you're gay, i'm asking you to get coffee because one: you took up my morning coffee time, and two: because you seem nice enough." Mingyu shrugged. "You can say no, you know."

"I'm aware...but i'm going to go ahead and say yes." Wonwoo smiled. "Because you seem nice, too."

 

And just like that, their relationship bloomed.
