A/N: I’m kinda a mess with this one I hope it’s ok haha I had to rewrite it a few times lol hope you enjoy!
ok but florist! wonu is literally everything
imagine him getting up early every morning to head to his shop
and he’ll unlock the glass door and pull open all the blinds
and sunlight is just streaming into his colorful and beautiful floral shop
as the sunflowers start to wake up and face the morning light
and he ties the cutest beige apron with a simple lily embroidery around his waist as he starts retrieving the new flowers for the day
and he loves organizing them
sometimes he’ll organize by colors
so when he gets fresh flowers
he’ll sort them from reds to oranges to yellows
to greens to blues to violets
roses to daisies to carnations to forget-me-nots to lavender
so that his shop window is a rainbow that attracts any passerby's attention
and he’ll be humming to himself while he’s arranging bouquets for the day
and if you listen really closely sometimes when he has the windows to his shop open
you can hear his voice
deep and steady
like the water in a pond
slowly singing a song
because co2 is necessary for plants
and damn even the flowers would fall for his voice
as his hands gently brush across the petals
and he very carefully and concisely snips at the stems so that each flower is proudly on display
and the arrangement he was working on is perfect
not a single leaf or petal out of place
a beautiful
and almost unreal
collection of flowers
which has made his little shop the most popular in the neighborhood
even if he works there alone
just like his arrangements
he’s never missed a beat
never failed to make a customer 117% happy with what he’s made for them
and never been late for an event ever
he has a very tidy schedule
like how every thursday
he’ll put out the orchids he recently ordered out on display on the outside flower holders
because he knows
that when you pass by his shop on thursdays as you do on your way to work
you can’t help but stop and admire them
and then he gets to steal a few snatches of conversation
“Good morning y/n!”
“Oh, good morning Wonwoo!”
and he’ll have to cough or clear his throat
in hopes you don’t notice the slight brush of pink on his cheeks
that could put even the peonies to shame
“How have you been?”
“I’ve been well, thank you! And you...?”
“It’s been going well for me too.”
and he’ll give you a small little smile
that’s got your heart fluttering
“Ah one second y/n”
you wait curiously as he enters the back of his shop
standing a bit awkwardly and nervously while you wait for him to come back
and when he does
your heart does a bit more than flutter
it skips whole beats when you see what he’s holding
it’s a small pot
with the most beautiful orchids you’ve ever seen
they’re dark blue on the edges
that blue that the sky gets right after the sun sets
and as the blue travels into the centers of the flower
it gets brighter until it’s almost an aqua blue
they’re small and the pot fits into your hand
as he gently hands over the pot
fingers lingering maybe a tad bit when they brush yours
“You said you were looking for orchids to brighten up your working space.” he said smiling as he looks up from the pot to you
“...and these reminded me of you so I thought they were perfect.”
you’re kinda stunned
not even just about the flowers
or how beautiful of a blue they were
or how they reminded him of you
but also because of how lightly his hands had brushed yours
“You’re giving them to me?” you ask
still a bit out of it hey y/n get yourself together thanks
“Yea well I know how much you like orchids and these ones aren’t too difficult to care for, just add fertilizer every week and make sure you water them amply but let them dry out between waterings and they should be fine”
he shyly goes through the care tips for the plant and sends you on your way
quietly patting himself on the back for having the guts to finally do something after just short conversations every thursday morning
and when you set the little pot down on your desk
you can’t help but let your thoughts wander off to the florist shop where Wonwoo works
and think about him
when you entered that shop for the first time a few months ago
you had been surprised at how airy the shop felt despite being fairly small in size
as you waited by the counter
you hadn’t really expected someone as beautiful as the flowers like Wonwoo to be the shop owner
but when he had stepped out of the back room with a vase of orange calla lilies
you had to use every ounce of willpower you had not to stop and stare
“Hi there, how may I help you?”
“Um yes hello... it’s my first day working here, I mean not here at the shop but- um as- I’m actually new to the neighborhood and I was wondering-” stumbling over your words as he broke into a bright smile
“Ah do you need some flowers?”
“Yes please!” you laughed lightly at your nervousness
“What’s the occasion?”
“I’m throwing a house warming party actually! I just moved in.” you did your best to smile comfortably
he let out a low chuckle and set the vase down on the counter
“Alright can I get your name?”
“Oh um right it’s Y/n l/n.”
“Do you have any ideas for what colors or flowers you want for your party?”
“Actually I was hoping you’d be able to help me with that, I don’t know where to start and it’s mainly just a gathering of a few coworkers I’m friends with and some neighbors...”
“Ah how about we start with a color scheme then?”
you nodded enthused by how friendly he seemed as he led you to the rows of flowers and pointed out warmer and more pastely tones compared to the bright flowers and asked you which you perferred
time passed a bit too quickly as you watched him work after you had chosen the flowers you wanted
how deftly he placed each flower as if they had always belonged in this arrangement
and when he handed the carefully wrapped vase with the final masterpiece
the flowers seemed to glow as you thanked him
“They’re absolutely beautiful thank you!” you said as you held them
“So how much do I owe you?” you laughed setting the flowers down carefully to reach for your purse
“Ahhh no it’s fine! Consider it a welcome to the neighborhood gift.” he smiled
and that had been your first encounter with Wonwoo
you had to admit he more than captivated your interest
and with every passing week you felt that interest grow a bit more with your small conversations
sometimes about what recent books you had read
or books he had read
or sometimes just about how nice the weather had been lately
or about the latest project you were working on for work
or his latest event he had to prepare floral arrangements for
it kind of naturally began to be a habit
to stand by the flowers every thursday and just discuss whatever small little topics passed by your mind
“Oh I’ve been meaning to ask, Wonwoo...”
“Yea..?”
“How did you decide to open your floral shop?”
i’m sorry but wonu is a garden fairy
“I’ve always liked gardening and plants haha and I guess I always wanted to explore the more artsy side of my personality. So while at school for business I kind of just thought what’s a good way to incorporate all the things I want to do and this sort of came to mind.” he looked fondly around at the flower shop
“It must be nice.” you reply with a smile
“It is.” he chuckles
you look down at your watch and realize its time to go or you’ll be late to work
“I’ll see you next time then Wonwoo.” you grin and wave as he waves goodbye as well
and you’re almost at the street corner when you hear your name
“Y/n!”
with Wonwoo calmly jogging up to catch up with you
“Hey so...” he begins
“I was wondering if maybe you wanted to catch a movie with me tonight? I’ve been meaning to see it and haven’t had time but I do today but only if you also have time...” he quietly stumbled about the sentence as you felt your cheeks burn up
“I’d love to.”
“So that’s settled then?”
“Yea I’ll see you tonight!”
the urge to scream is strong while writing this sorry
you basically made a big fuss asking your boss if you could leave just a tad bit early from work
as you raced home to prepare for your
what was this
was it a date?
did you want it to be a date?
your head raced a million miles per hour as you turned your closet upside down looking for an outfit
did Wonwoo even consider it a date?
or was he asking you as a friend?
you shook your head out of excitement
panicking slightly at the thought of seeing him
your stomach churning a bit in it’s anxiety
you decided to choose a simple outfit, casual and comfortable but nice
as you walked along the street to the movie theater
it was a bit chilly but the street was decorated with string lights
twinkling like fireflies on a summer night as you walked up to the theater to see Wonwoo standing there
wearing jeans and a black jacket
holding calla lilies in his hands
the same lilies he held when he first met you
“Y/n!” he said waving walking up to you
“Did you bring these for me?” you asked looking at the flowers brightly
“Ah yea haha, they’re pretty just like you.” he laughed not letting his cheesy line deter him
you felt your cheeks burn up again and accepted them
“Thank you wonwoo they’re beautiful.”
“Shall we go in?”
“Yes let’s.”
honestly you had no idea at all what kind of movie it was you watched
all you can remember is the way his arm gently rested on the armrest between the two of you
elbows brushing
as he slowly reached out a pinky to entwine yours
before he ended up just holding your hand through it
and when the movie was over you walked out of the theater
hands still held as he pointed to a frozen yogurt shop across the way
“My treat?” he laughed quirking an eyebrow and giving you a sideways glance
you both ordered your frozen yogurts and sat discussing the fuzzy plot points of the movie you could still remember and laughing at the story line
“I’m sorry but the main male lead is a dumb ass.” you say spoon scooping up some melted yogurt to finish the night
“I agree he seems to lack common sense... If the writers were going to make him out to be this stupid I would have reconsidered watching it.” wonwoo laughed before helping you toss out the empty cup and cleaning up the table
and too bitter sweet an end
“I’ll walk you back home” he chuckled taking your hand in his again as you both set off down the street
the street lamps glowing
when you reached your street
you didn’t really want to let go of his hand
“So just so we’re clear...” Wonwoo said pulling you to a stop and looking you in the eyes... a teasing little glint in his dark brown irises
“This means we’re officially dating now, in case this didn’t make it clear” he smirked pointing out your interlaced fingers
“...and just so we’re extra clear...”
he reached for your cheek with his free hand
before pulling your lips to his
softly his lips on yours
smiling you could feel
before he cheekily pulled away and gave you a wink
“I hope I’ll be seeing you more than just on thursdays at the shop.”
god i’m crying
