Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. All complete. 

"Chanyeol oppa this is all the hand bouquet for the girl seventeenth birthday party," I said to Chanyeol my delivery guy.
"Is that all?" He asked.
"Yes. After you make sure you've sent it you could went home early today," I replied.
ChanYeol went to his truck to send all the flower bouquet to the seventeenth birthday party. 

Yes, this is my life. These flowers are my life. 

Two years ago after getting my business bachelor degree at Nottingham University, London, I opened this flower shop. 

It has been mydream since I was a little girl to have a flower shop. The reason is our little family used to have a small beautiful garden full of flowers at the back of our house in Gwangju, South Korea when I was little. I love those flowers and took care of them everyday. Since my mom's died, we have moved to London because of my dad's new wife.

After graduating, I moved to Seoul and opened this shop. Mama Flower Shop. This flowers and this shop reminds me of... My mother. I really love my mom. I never said that to my mom, I haven't got the chance to kiss her and tell her that I cared about her that I really love her more than anything in my life. I miss her a lot.

I looked at my phone and it's already 4pm. There's a lot of order lately, because it's nearly mother's day. I wish I could arrange a beautiful dandelion to my mom. I know how much she loves dandelion.

"I'll be in my office at the back, call me if there's costumer, Anna," I told Anna my assistant. I heard my phone rang so I pick it up.

"Appa, what's up?" I answered my phone.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm good. Why did you call?"
"I just wanted to know how are you."
"If there's nothing left to talk about then I'm gonna hang up. I'm quite busy"
"Uhm... Okay then, I'll call you later," he said hanguing up the phone.

This kind of relationship has been maintained by me and my dad since mom died. It's just a month after she died, my dad manage to marry another woman. I was against it at first but there's nothing I could do. Since I moved to London my life has been miserable. I don't have many friends. I have no best friends. My big brother ran away from home more than three times. I know it's all my stepmother's mistake. She doesn't love us like our mom does. She doesn't care about us. We have a stepsister, Lunna. She loves Lunna so much just like my dad. 

But the past is the past after I went to seoul everything seems better. I used the money I loaned from the bank to rent a small store and open this flower shop. In two years I have returned all my loan plus the interest.

"Boss, new stuff coming" Anna called me.
I went outside to check on the flower which just came. There's not a lot of customer lately.
"Welcome to Mama Flower Shop," my shopkeeper Ji Hye said.
"I'm looking for some yellow roses, please," the man said.
"I think we're out of yellow roses. Let me ask the boss," she said.

"Unni, is there any yellow roses left?" Asked Ji Hye.
"I thought we're run out of it," I said.
"I'm sorry. But we're run out of it," said Ji Hye to the man.
"Really? It seems like all flower shops are out of it. Can you help me find it," he asked.
"Uhm... Boss, did you know where we could find the yellow rose?" Ji Hye asked.
"I said we're run out of it, Ji Hye ya. I'm quit busy working on this new arrival," I said a bit yelling to Ji Hye. The flowers which just came was just too much. It seems like I would work overnight.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you or anything," said the man to me. I stop my work and look at the man who's really annoys me right now. I would like to throw lots of anger at him. I looked at his face and... All I can see is an angel. He has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. I hold back my anger. 
"I'm sorry. You're a florist, right. You might know where I could find the flower," he asked. He seems quite desperate.
"Yeah, wait a second," I said. 
I looked at my office and saw 3 stalks of yellow roses on my office desk.
"I have 3 stalk of yellow rose but it has been used for my office decoration."
"It's okay. I'll take it," he said.
"I'll arrange it with other flowers and some leaves to make it better."
"Ah thank you very much," he said.

I arranged the yellow rose with some other flowers and wrap it as a hand bouquet.
"Here you are," I said.
"Wow, it's very pretty. How much does it cost?"
"It's free. I used a used flower so it's free."
"Really, ah I'll just pay for it."
"No, it's okay. Take it for free."
"Wow, thank you very much."
He grab his flowers and left.

"For free? Are you crazy, unni? Even though it's a used flower you still have to charge it. We've been working like crazy here," Ji Hye protested.
"It's because that man has an ulzzang face, right?" Asked Anna.
"It's a used flower, I can't took charged of it. Back to work!" I shouted.
"Unni, it's already past my work time. Are you making me work overnight?" Asked Ji Hye.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"It's 6," anna replied.
"Fine, you could go home, I'll just take care of the rest," I said.
"But, it's too many. Can we continue tomorrow?" Ji Hye asked.
"It will get rotten by tomorrow, Ji Hye ya. I'll do it. You must have a date with Se Hun, don't you?" I asked.
"Yes, that's why I can't work overnight today," she said.
"Then go I'll take care of it. It's still a little left," I replied.
"Okay, I'll come early, tomorrow. Thanks, unnie ƪ (^o^)ʃ " Ji Hye said.
After Ji Hye and Anna left I have to take care of the flowers and put it on some kind of refrigerator which temperature's has been set to prevent flowers from getting rotten.
But Anna was right, that man sure is handsome. It's not like I never saw handsome men. Seoul has plenty of it. It's just reminds me of my life. There are no men in my life. I never dated anyone. I'm not really pretty. I'm not outgoing. I'm hard to guess.

I managed to finish the work at nine and went home. I passed a chicken store. I used to eat chicken with my mom late at night. She really love chicken. She likes the spicy one. She could eat spicy food unlike me. I grab my necklace. It's the necklace my mom gave me. It looks like a drop of water with some decoration inside. My mom said she likes water, especially the ocean. The ocean will hear your problem and it will never judge you. It will hear your entire problem and sometimes give you some imagination that could solve your problem.

"Unni, you came late today," said Ji Hye.
"I overslept. I'm sorry. Is there any costumer already?" I asked.
"No. Anyway, when did you go home yesterday?" She asked.
"Not too late. It's okay. I'll be in my office," I replied.

I just got an order for an 50th wedding anniversary party. I sometimes doubt that I could get married to 50 years. These day, divorce seems so easy. People could get together and separate easily. Just like mom and dad.

"Unni, the man from yesterday came," said Ji Hye opening my office door.
"Ya,  you could learn to knock. Then just ask what he wants. Did I have to teach you how to deal with costumer."
"I thought you would like to meet him. ;) Come out, unnie. He's really nice."
I came out as she requested. I can't deny that I would like to see his angel face.
"Hey, thank you. She really likes the flower," said the man.
"Really, you're welcome. If your girlfriend likes anything just request it by phone. We could deliver it to her house directly. Here's my card," I said.
"Nah, she's not my girlfriend, yet. Actually she's a hard thing to get. Do you know any present I could give her rather than flowers?"
"We only sells flower, here," I said.
"Anyway, I need dandelion, for my mom, did you have some?" He asked.
"Well, is there any dandelion left, Ji Hye?" I asked.
"Yes," ji Hye answered.
"Can you make a flower bouquet with it just like you did yesterday?" He asked.
"Sure. It's for your mother, right?" I asked.
"Yeah. Is that any different?" He asked again.
"Yes, there's quite different. If you give it for your mom, it has to show your affection to her. But if you give it to a girl it has to show loves and sincerity," I explained.
He looks a little confused. "You must not understand what I mean," I said a with a little smile and he replied with a smile. God, that's the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen.
"Here you go," I said.
"Did you have cards or stuff?" He asked.
"Here you go, it's for mothers," I replied.
I looked on what he wrote. 

To mom, who I loved so much.
Miss you so much.
Your son, joon myeon.

I looked at his name. Joon Myeon. 
"How much should I pay?" He asked.
"7500 won," Anna replied. 
"Thank you very much,... What's your name?" He asked me.
"Oh... It's--------"
"I'm Kim Joon Myeon, you could call me suho. I'll call you later," he said.
"Call?" I asked.
"For flower delivery," he replied with a smile.
"Oh yeah, we can do that. Thank you," I said.
"Unnie, did your heart just pop out of your body? You seems speechlees," said Ji Hye with a big smile on her face.
"What the hell? Ji Hye ya, you have to work hard, if you said nonsense things I will deduct your salary," I threatened Ji Hye.
"Unni, how dare you? We built this store together, you, me and Anna unni."
"I still am the one who have this store."
"I was just kidding, unni. He even said he likes a girl," ji hye said.
"But, unnie. He must be a nice guy, he looked everywhere to find a yellow rose just for that girl. Ah if se hun oppa acts a little romantic, I would already marry him."
"Did he asked you?" I asked her curiously.
"No, he never asked things like that. But I wished he did," ji hye murmured.

"Ji young-sshi, are you free tonight?" asked suho.
"I'm sorry, suho oppa. I promised Jongin oppa to go with him tonight," Ji young answered.
"Okay, when will you be free?" Suho asked.
"Suho oppa, I really thank you for giving me the flowers. It really is nice. I really like yellow roses. But... I think... You and me are like brother and sister relationship. I... I really like you, oppa. As my big brother," ji young explained on the phone.
"I see... I get it. I'm sorry I have bother you," suho said.
"Oppa, it's not like that, let's talk... Can we meet..."
"Ji Young ah, it's okay. I'm hanging up okay,"
Suho hanged up the phone. Why bother trying if you already know she'll reject you like this, Joon Myeon. Why did you do this! How can you did this? You're not suppose to catch after the girl who's madly in love with your best friend. Is it how you feel if someone rejects you? Is this how broken heart really felt.

"Oppa, it's time to deliver the flowers to the 50th anniversary party," I said.
"Oh, should we dress formally?" Chanyeol asked.
"Wae?" I asked back.
"Wasn't we invited inside the party? They requested us to arrange the flower by ourself.
"Really? How can't I miss that information?" I asked.
"Asked Anna-sshi. She knows everything."

"Anna, did we invited to the party to arrange flowers?" I asked.
"Oh, about that. I forgot to tell you. We did asked to arrange every flower on the table and some wall decoration."
"But we never receive that kind of service."
"It's a good thing. They paid 150000 won each person for the service. We need extra money. We haven't got many order since the seventeenth birthday party."
"Ah... Really? Can you two go and I just stay here?"
"About that. Ji Hye refuse to go. She and Se Hun oppa have something to do."
"I mean by you two is Chanyeol oppa and you."
"It's not gonna finished by the time. ChanYeol oppa couldn't arrange any flower and you work quite fast and satisfying, we could get extra tip."
"Fine, I'll go. It's tonight the party? What should I wear?"
"Anything comfortable. And no killer heels, we're working not partying."
"Okay."

+++ 

"Is everything done, oppa?" I asked ChanYeol oppa who is putting the flowers on the truck.
"Yes, I've doubled checked everything," ChanYeol replied.
"Let's go then,"

+++

"Hi, I'm Anna we are from the Mama Flower Shop. We came to arrange the flower and decoration," Anna said to the hotel receptionist.
"Ah, the madam is waiting for you. Come with me," the receptionist said.
The room was quite big. Chanyeol oppa and the hotel staff was busy moving the flowers from the truck to the room.

"Anyeonghaseyo, we're from the Mama FlowerShop," said Anna to a mid aged lady.
"Ah, you came. I have a special request. I would like those fifty tables filled with a vase of flower each and..."
"I'll take care of the order, you just fill every table with a vase of flower," anna said to me.
I arranged the flower to every table.

"Omma,  is everything alright?" asked a man who seems like the madam son.
"Yes, we're arranging the flower right now," said the madam.
"Uh, I can see. I'll just go around and check if there's something wrong. And hyung said he has landed and he'll be here in an hour,"
"Great. Okay then, anna-sshi, could you..."

I count each vases that Chanyeol oppa brings inside. Ah, some of it is broken. I wonder if he brought extras. 
"ChanYeol opp-"
"Wah, ----sshi. Did my mom order from you guys?" Suho asked.
"Suho-sshi. I don't know it's your mom's party," I replied.
"Oh, you're work must have been satisfying. Is that something wrong?" He asked.
"Yeah, the vase. It seems like some of it are broken,"
"Really, it doesn't look likes it cracks. But this one is. We need to change this one," he said pointing at a very bad broken vase.
"Yeah, I'll have to ask ChanYeol oppa if he brings any," I said.
"Oh, ChanYeol oppa. Is there any extra vase?" I asked.
"Yes, I brought five," he replied.
I counted the broken vase. "I need 6 more, oppa. Can you go back and take it from the shop?" I asked.
"I haven't finished bringing all the stuff from the trucks. it'll be finished in 30 minutes," he said.
"The party will start in an hour. I don't think I could manage to arrange all of it by the time the party started," I said.
"Let me drive you to your shop. I know where it is," suho offered.
"Oh, no. It's okay, I could just..."
"We need to manage the time, ----sshi. The party will start in an hour."
"Yeah, you also need to move those flower from the broken vase. His offers really help us a lot," ChanYeol said.
"Okay, then," I said. I couldn't find any reasons.

"You really did a great job arranging the flower," suho said in the car.
"Thanks," I said shortly.
"Is your shop kinda new, because I never saw your shop,"
"It's been two years. The store used to be located on the second floor  of the store but we manage to expand it and bought the first floor,"
"Ah, the first floor used to be a shoe shop wasn't it? Did it go bankrupt or something?"
"It seems like that. The tenant can't pay the rent, I could so the owner rent it to me,"
"Wow, you'e quite good at business, don't you?"
"Ah, you could say that I'm quite lucky,"
"Is that your boyfriend, the guy?"
"Who? ChanYeol oppa? No, he's the delivery guy,"
"Oh, I see. Did you graduate from some kind of flower arranging class or something? You really is good at it,"
"I'm actually graduated from London. I took business."
"Ah, really? That's why you're really good at it."
"No, it's not. It's just a small shop,"
"You're quite great you started everything from the bottom, unlike me."
"Really? What did you do?"
"My family owns a hotel. I looked after that hotel."
"Wow, it must be exciting."
"You don't know how stressful is that. Since my hyung decided to become a doctor, I'm the one who suppose to look after the hotel."
"Ah, I have an oppa too. He's a lawyer. He stays in London."
"Did you come from London?"
"No, my parents are from Gwangju, we used to lived there, but we moved to London."
"Why don't you live in London? Why did you comeback?"
"I really love South Korea better than London. The people here is nicer."
"Really?"
"Uhm.."
We arrived at the shop. 
"I'll just bring 8 of it in case something happens," I said.
"Here let me help you put it in the car," suho offered.

+++
"Is everything's okay?" Asked anna.
"I have to go back and bring some vases since oppa break some of it," I replied.
"Ah, it's good already, wasn't it?"
"Uhm..."
"The madam invite us for dinner at that table. I think we should stay for dinner."
"Are you sure? I feel like going home."
"Yeah! Stay for dinner. It'll be fun," suho suddenly came.
"Ah, okay. Thanks by the way for inviting us," I replied.

"What have you two done?" Asked anna.
"Nothing, he was just giving me a ride," I said.

The party was going very well. 
"Thank you for inviting us to the party," said Anna to the madam.
"You're welcome. I really loves the flower especially the dandelion on my table. You arranged it well," said the madam.
"We're leaving then. Thank you very much," said Anna.
"Leaving already?" Asked suho.
"Uhm... Thank you for everything," I said.
"Let me give you a ride home," said suho.
"Ah, it's not necessary. Chanyeol oppa will drive us," I said to him.
"Oh okay then, see you then."
