Baby Bunny

1

A new day, the sun was shining and although I was alone, I unlocked the door of my store with a smile. I looked at the sign hanging above the front door "Sewing Dreams Baby Clothes and more". This store was my pride and joy. My parents had only recently returned to Germany, but I stayed in Seoul because I was born and raised here and my parents' home country was foreign to me. They had emigrated to Korea long before I was born, but shortly after my 22nd birthday, 3 months ago, they told me that my father would be taking over my grandfather's business and asked if I wanted to come with them.

Of course I didn't want to. My father and I had just finished converting the lower floor of our house into my store, where I sold baby and children's clothes that I had designed and made myself. The front, largest room was the sales area, where I also had a sewing corner. Behind it was a small office with a kitchenette, a guest toilet and a storage room where I stored my fabrics, sewing materials and unfinished blanks.

One floor up, there was our apartment, which I now lived in alone, kitchen, living room, bathroom, my bedroom and my parents' now empty room. On the flat roof, which is typical for Seoul, I had a wooden pavilion with a seating area, a barbecue area and lots of herbs and vegetables grown in raised beds. My parents had given me the house when they moved out so that I didn't have the pressure to be so mega successful with my self-employment and it was only important to earn enough for food, electricity and water.

Contrary to all expectations, my store went quite well, I opened an online store at the same time and became quite popular in a short time. I couldn't complain about a lack of orders. My favorite pastime, apart from sewing, was watching dramas. My laptop stood next to my sewing machine and I combined the two, constantly watching series while I sewed.

I still enjoyed my independence and didn't feel lonely. I didn't have a boyfriend either, I used to have a relationship when I was at school, but he was a trainee at an entertainment company and when we were caught by his manager, we were banned from being together and he had to change schools. That was 4 years ago and I didn't even know if he had debuted in the meantime because I wasn't that interested in music. I listened to what was on the radio and it was good. I was way too caught up in my drama world and didn't have time to listen to bands.

Since my time with Dongmin, I had stayed single, focused on my fashion design studies and now real life was finally starting.

Humming to myself, I sat down at my sewing station and switched on my laptop. I looked up the patterns for the garments I wanted to sew today and went to get the fabric I needed. After cutting out the pieces of fabric with the rotary cutter, I pinned them together and laid them out on the sewing machine.

While I was sewing, I kept glancing at the laptop, where orange jam was playing. Just as I had finished sewing the third pair of baby trousers that morning and was about to take them to the ironing board in the store, the little bell rang to let me know that customers had entered the store.

I turned around with a smile and saw 7 young men who seemed to take over the whole store with their presence.

"Welcome, how can I help you?" I greeted them.

One of them, he had dark blond hair and an infectious smile, stepped forward to me and bowed slightly.

"Hello, my sister is having a baby in three weeks. This store was recommended to me and that's why I'd like to order a complete first kit," he said kindly.

"That's no problem, is it a boy or a girl?" I had grabbed a notepad to write down the necessary information for the order.

"A girl." His smile widened, he seemed very happy about his little niece. I looked at him for a moment, he was very attractive, he could have easily been in one of my favorite dramas.

"Okay, I'll show you a few fabric samples and patterns, then I'll get straight to work." I put the book with the fabric samples and a book with pictures of garments I had designed in front of him.

While he leafed through it, I took a closer look at his companions for the first time, who were scattered around my store looking at the displays. Holy shit... they were all so incredibly good-looking.

One with dark, wavy hair was holding up a little purple dress and talking to one of his friends, also black-haired and broad-shouldered.

"Makes you want to have kids yourself. That's so mega cute," whereupon the man nodded enthusiastically. A tall blond man put his hand on his shoulder and grinned.

"You'll have to wait a few more years, none of us can do that at the moment."

A slightly shorter blond man held out a small stuffed bunny to a taller brown-haired man, who smiled at it and oh my God, he had the sweetest smile I'd ever seen on anyone. He kind of looked like a bunny himself. When he noticed my gaze, he gave me that sweet smile, which I shyly returned.

One of the boys had sat down on the little sofa I had in the corner in case anyone wanted to wait for their sewing order. He had closed his eyes and seemed almost asleep while he waited for his friends.

I turned back to my customer, who had made his selection.

"All right Sir you can come and pick up the clothes next week." I confirmed the order.

"Oh no, you don't have to call me Sir... Just call me Hobi."

"Ok, Hobi. I'm Y/N. Then I need your full name and a contact phone number."

He wasn't the only one who looked at me in surprise, but he made a note of the information.

"See you next week then." He said goodbye and I bowed slightly. Together they walked out of the store and the one with the bunny smile turned to me again and waved as he spoke to this Hobi.

"Have you seen how cute she is?"

"Yes, I did and she didn't recognize us..." I heard him say, whereupon the tired guy turned around again and looked at me with interest.
