The Flower Boy

A week went by so quickly and I had spent it nearly entirely with Seungcheol and Seokjin. Even though I had seen them for the entire day and evening, going to bed without having Seungcheol next to me to talk to made me feel even more lonely then I had felt the day before. I was scared to leave him, and I could tell he was scared as well under the big front he put on in front of me. Seokjin was so good in distracting me, making me laugh or smile at how stupidly, cute he was.

“Wonah,” he said to me one day when we were walking down a market street one evening.
“Seokjin-ah,” I said in reply looking at the tables I past as we walked.
“I love you,” he said in an aegyo voice. I turned to him showing my disgust at his cute voice with the furrowing of my eyebrows. He smiled back at me as we continued to walk.
“Seokjin it’s been a good month since you’ve confessed. Do we have to go through this again?” I looked worried at him.
“No I mean I love you because you are such a good friend,” his smile shed a little and his eyes drooped, “you’ve taught me so much about people, thank you.” Seeing his sincere confession made my heart drop and my eyes fill to the brim with tears almost immediately.
“Come on Seokjin… you sound as if i’m leaving right now,” I scoffed and looked away blinking out the tears so I could see clearly. Wiping them from my cheeks I looked back at Seokjin, seeing him standing with his arms open. Without words I flopped into his arms tightly hugging his waist feeling my true emotions pour out of my mouth and eyes and I cried in the middle of the busy street. Feeling his hands softly patting my back, I smiled through my tears feeling more happy than sad. I was glad I met him that day in the hallway, even if he was rude to me. There’s a lot more to someone than how they appear...

Seungcheol kept nudging me to ask my dad for a time for them to meet. Getting so tired of him asking me, I organised it with my dad. Seungcheol turned up to the door with flowers in his hands, and look of worry. “Is he home yet?” He whispered to me. I suddenly grew a smile on my face. This boy had brought me so much joy and he kept me smiling every time I saw him.
“What are the flowers for?” I looked questioning at the the bouquet of flowers he was holding in both his hands.
“Your father?” He looked at me confused. I let out a little laugh. Why flowers? Hanging with him more and more his little habits started to show, and his weirdnesses which were surprisingly not weird but more just cute. Getting flowers for your girlfriend’s father… so cute.
“Yeah he’s home. He’s been waiting anxiously for a bit,” I said whispering to Seungcheol taking the flowers from him smiling at them. Stepping back, I let him come into the foyer of the house, letting him take his shoes off. Sudden worry came over me. Did I force him into this? I mean he means the world to me, but i’m not the only one in the relationship. I looked at Seungcheol, “are you sure you want to do this?” He looked up at me hearing my question. He finished taking of his shoes and held onto the flowers, his hands softly resting over mine.
“Do I love you?” he looked me in the eyes seriously.
“Wh-what?” Startled by the question I blinked at him, feeling my heart racing.
‘Do I love you?” He repeated himself.
“Yes, I mean you’ve said it before so-“
“Then i’ll do anything for you, including this.” He said holding my shoulders softly, pulling me closer and kissing my forehead.

[On a date with Seungcheol]
My phone started ringing, so I pulled it out of my pocket to see who it was. I looked at Seungcheol sadly before answering the call. “It’s my dad, I gotta take this.” Sliding my thumb across the screen, I worried about why he was talking. He had to call right when me and Seungcheol were out, when I was finally forgetting about having to move. “Hey dad, what’s up?” I sighed out into the phone.
“I have some news for you,” he said in a slightly upbeat mood.
“Oh no, dad not right now. Are we moving pretty far away this time?” I said preparing myself for the worst. It’s happened all before, us moving.
“No Wonah, we’re not moving,” he said calmly. I couldn’t believe my ears.
“What…” My heart had started to speed up.
“I managed to do well recently and the company really wanted me to stay here. I knew you wanted to stay badly, and so did Wonwoo.” I smile started to grow slowly across my face. My once thought to be rude father had just worked his butt off to get something his children wanted. I had grown to respect him fully, and love him.
“Dad thank you… and I love you!”
“I love you too Wonah,” he said softly through the phone. I quickly ended the call and turned to Seuncheol grabbing his arm.
“Seungcheol! I’m not moving!” I happily cheered at him. He looked back at me in disbelief.
“What?!” His eyes widening in disbelief.
“I’m not going anywhere!” I said shaking his arm back and forth excitedly. He slowly smiled back and hugged me tightly. We let go and looked at each other happily. I would be seeing this adorable face for as long as I possibly could. I grabbed his face and pulled it towards my mine, placing quick little kisses on his lips. “I could kiss you forever!” He laughed at me and I joined him.

The thing was, nearly moving across the country made me realise how much Seungcheol meant to me. If he wasn’t there anymore, it left a big spot in myself empty and lonely. I had learnt so much about people from nearly losing them. Yonghwa School taught me that me, myself and I was perfect the way I was. That if people hated on you, there would always be people who love you for you. For me Seungcheol had become one of those people. I had learnt things about my father that I would have never been able to see without Seungcheol. My stupid friend Seokjin is one of those people too. Now settled with being my best friend, he’s assigned himself as he called it, “the older brother I never had.” Basically he warded off any boys that looked at me in public, not allowing me to talk to any other boys besides him, Seungcheol and Wonwoo. After finding Seungcheol, things in life became a lot clearer. I decided to study in becoming a multi lingual scientist. Chemistry jargon became my mother tongue. And I got to live with my mother for a while after I finished school. Seungcheol even came with me, meeting her.

And I continued life like this, happy.

It's over! I had so much fun writing this last chapter, yet so much sadness! I get way too attached to these stories...
Hope this last chapter is able to tie things off and made a nice ending ^^ Endings are one of the most difficult things, but sometimes necessary. Let's make them happy! I'll leave this with my favourite quote,
