Can’t say no

“It’s really not that hard to put the books back in their...” Jinwoo trails off as someone walks by, a flush creeping up the back of his neck at the thought of a student overhearing his mumbling of frustration.

He clears his throat as he wedges the book into its rightful place, turning his head to the side slightly to see if the coast is clear before mumbling out more complaints. There isn’t much he can really complain about when it comes to this job. The hours are reasonable, it feeds his two cats, he has access to plenty of materials that most students have no idea even exist, but most importantly, there is minimal physical contact with others. He can hide behind his desk at peak hours, reducing the chances of bumping into someone. He knows the ins and outs of this library, the perfect places for Jinwoo to camp out in until the crowds disperse. Being a librarian is the perfect job for someone like him, minus the glaringly obvious fact. It’s a bore. 

Jinwoo sighs as he pushes the cart in between two shelves, skimming over the codes on the bottom of the books.  

Chemical engineering, how mundane. 

As he places another book onto the shelf, he allows his mind to wander, to experience the emotions that surround him. Some are stronger than others, the typical university students stressing over their research papers, or the joy emitting from the group of girls giggling around their laptops. He lets a smile slip on to his face as he immerses himself into the variants of feelings, instinct taking over as he focuses on trying to differentiate them all. This job giving him the perfect time to practice doing what he does best, being himself.

He really tries to remain entertained on a day like today, where the blistering heat is doing no favors for the plants and himself alike. The male ultimately regretted wearing one of his longer-sleeved tees, his entire body set ablaze and what felt like being drenched in sweat as he ran around the store doing small chores in an poor attempt to cool off. Perhaps he should’ve chosen the easier way out like his coworker, who was currently basking herself in the only working fan in the entire nursery. 

He sighs lightly to himself, glancing back over at his currant task, which was sorting though small lists of requests and special orders that customers and retailers had requested the nursery set aside until pickup. Usually, he found comfort as he looked over the lists, smiling whenever he noticed a familiar name. Regulars were by far one of the highlights of his job, getting to know and befriend others who cared about plants just as much as he does. A small smile crosses his face as he notices a very frequent visitor to the nursery’s name, a man close in age to  Chanyeol. 

He seemed to stop by every week, buying various flowers in bulk each time. Yeol always meant to ask why, though his intuition told him it whatever it could be must involve some form of floristry. He starts to set aside the specific flowers requested by the male, noticing one smaller flower in a pot was starting to shrivel. He frowns slightly at this, cupping the flower in between his fingers. He quickly revives it, a sigh of relief escaping as he seemed to avoid being spotted. Just in time as well, as the youth’s head perks up at the sound of approaching footsteps. 

“Ah! You’re just in time! I just finished sorting through your list!” He chirps cheerily as the male  walks over, Yeol motioning to the cluster of flowers that were positioned off to the side.

thursday’s child

@avtjonghyun

chaeyoung breezes in, the soft chime of a customer entering sounding as the door closes behind her. today is, as always, an off day for her, and she loves the quiet and beauty of the many florist shops in incheon. it’s the one thing she she’s come to enjoy, bloodlust or not.

the company is a plus, of course - jonghyun is kind and soft-spoken, and often allows her to sit in the flower shop for as long as she wants. he’s nowhere to be seen right now, and she figures he’ll be somewhere in the back, or whatever it is he does when they don’t have customers around. usually she’d simply find her little corner and people-watch from the windows, but she wants (needs) some company, at least for today.

“jonghyun?”

he doesn’t respond immediately, and so chaeyoung walks around the shop, trying to find her friend. he is all the rounded curves of the world when she is its edges, but she cares far too much for him already. there is something soft inside of her despite herself and it is safe around jonghyun, she thinks, to let her guard down.

she finds him settled at the back of the shop, and she taps on his shoulder, smiling. “hey there,” she greets, giving him a small wave. “long time no see?”
