take it or leaf it

Even on his off days, Chanyeol often found himself surrounded by plants in one way or another. One could honestly say his life revolved around them, his own apartment over run by houseplants. Not that it bothered him in the slightest, as he fancied it as his own personal jungle, several varieties of plants called him room home. While his living room also mirrored his personal bedroom in the sense there was no shortage of plants, he did keep his favorites right by his bedside.
Smiling warmly, the youth wraps up his daily chores at the park, making a bold choice to visit a flower shop not too far from his current location. He had heard the nursery owners’ speak highly of it before, even bringing up becoming a possible supplier for the shop. However that was months ago, and Chanyeol was pretty sure they never went through with it. He couldn’t recall seeing the shop’s name on the list they kept of retailers they distributed to.
Though evening drew near, the male was pretty sure he still had some time before shop closed up, quickly approaching the storefront in an attempt to get a glimpse of it at the very least. Eyes wide with excitement, he lets out a small gasp as he’s greeted with bright tulips and lilies. He gently brushes over them, smiling softly as his gaze sweeps over the vast variety of flowers. This was impressive, even for a flower shop, Chanyeol recognizing flowers even the nursery didn’t sell.
His excitement soon fades however, as he was drawn to a cluster of sunflowers that looked anything but sunny. They were only wilted slightly, but even so it was a hard sight for the empathetic male. He didn’t even give it a second thought, already in the process of bringing them back to a healthier state. It wasn’t until he was 4 flowers when he notices a presence watching him intently. He glances at the other male nervously, quickly neglecting the rest of the sunflowers, positioning himself in a way to (hopefully) block his sight. “A-Are you the owner? You have a lovely selection of flowers.” Nervous laughter following.
