After A Long Time (Rooftop Prince OST) - Jo Eun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goL5goKJ1Fg) ----------------------- Narrator’s P.O.V: A small bell chimed as the door to Lilia Florists opened. Still feeling down, Hana glanced around the store. The aroma of different flowers hit her all at once as she took in the beautiful scenery. Flowers of all colours and species greeted her happily. Her stirring heart seemed to calm down, even though it was just a little. As Hana touched a petal of a nearby cherry blossom, an elderly woman came into view. Hana straightened up and bowed her head a bit in respect. The older lady smiled warmly, “Hello dear. I take it you’re waiting to buy some flowers?” “Yes.” Hana glanced at the cherry blossoms, “I’d like three bouquets please.” The ahjumma beamed, “Of course, dear. Follow me.” She led the way to the cashier as Hana trailed behind her, staring at the never-ending flowers in awe. “You’ve got a beautiful shop, ahjumma.

You still have one more bouquet.” Suddenly, the cherry blossoms from before appeared in her mind. “As for the last bouquet… Can I have one of cherry blossoms?” She softened. She gazed at Hana thoughtfully, “But cherry blossoms don’t have a long lifespan. They won’t last.” Hana took that into consideration for a second before shaking her head, “I don’t mind. Although the flowers’ beauty lasts for a short time, it’s better to have made the most of it, right? Please wrap them up for me beautifully. I’ll leave the decoration to you.” The lady grinned approvingly, “Of course. The flowers for sale are in the back room.” She typed the bouquets in and Hana paid for them.
