For a child of Demeter, Minhyun was really starting to hate flowers. He tried his best to control whatever was going on with him, but he couldn’t. Sometimes flora around him would bloom and revive, filling everything with color and beauty, and making him hate every single bud, plant or flower that he had literally given life to, because it made everyone stop and stare at this random bursts of magic. And yet, he wondered why that happened, since none of his siblings were going through that, Minhyun even got to the point of thinking maybe his mother had set a curse on him.
“You’re so dumb” Minki laughed, “It’s obvious for everyone but you”
“What?” Minhyun frowned “Do you think it’s a curse?”
Even Jonghyun almost facepalmed himself, his friend was smart, when he wasn’t being stupid like this, or acting like he was oblivious to his own feelings. “Really?”
“Yes, really” Minhyun insisted as he sat down on the ground, looking up at his two friends.
Minki laughed again looking down the path that lead to where they were talking, you were leading your siblings to the lake, laughs erupting every few steps as you joked with them. Jonghyun sat down next to Minhyun, expecting exactly what was about to happen.
“Hey, y/n!” Minki called waving at you.
“Hey!” telling your siblings you’d catch up with them in a moment, after saying hello to these boys. “What are you guys doing?”
Minhyun was mortified as tiny flowers started growing around him when you were close enough. Jonghyun coughed to hide a laugh as Minki picked one from the ground and smirked at his friend. “Nothing” Minhyun answered your question, “We were about to leave actually…”
“Oh, I love lilacs” you cut him off as you picked a couple flowers from the ground “You must know what they mean, right?”
Minhyun shrugged, his face burning as he realized there wasn’t an exit for him at the moment without seeming rude.
“They’re supposed to be a new love blooming, or that’s what I heard” you looked at him “What do you think?”
“I like lilacs too” he muttered, getting up “These are just not on purpos–”
“SO” Minki chimed in “Where were you going? Can we go?”
“Oh, we planned on canoeing for a while, you can come too” you cheered closing your palm around the flowers, “Maybe you could tell me more about flowers, Minhyun”
“You seem to know more ab—” Minhyun stopped halfway through, as Jonghyun nudged him “Sure, yeah”
“Let’s go, then” you beamed, standing next to him to walk together, flowers following your path.
Minhyun was smart when he wasn’t acting like he didn’t feel butterflies in his stomach every time you came around, or when he didn’t pretend not to know what lilacs meant. He knew it wasn’t a curse, he was just falling in love with you and though that scared him, every time you smiled at him, he thought he could live with the flowers blooming around as the beat of his heart raced with excitement.
