"Sunny, are you leaving or staying behind? I don't want you to be locked inside the shop." Mrs. Mayflower asked walking to the back with her cane
"No, Mrs. mayflower I'm staying behind. I will clean the shop up for you. Besides I got to finish up my studying for exams. You get home safely." She shooed Mrs. Mayflower going back to her books
"I should tell you the same thing. I don't want to see another pretty young lady like yourself going missing." Mrs. Mayflower said with worry
"I will be fine Mrs. Mayflower."
Mrs. Mayflower went to the back exit of the shop. Sunny never heard the door close but she did hear it make that squeaky noise when it was closing.
Sunny began humming her tune again as she always did. She sighed closing her books ending her study session. She went to the back of the corner shop to water the baby sprouts.
She stopped immediately getting a weird feeling that she wasn't alone. She slowly looked behind her.
Nothing there. She breathed calming herself down, when it was completely silent she chuckled to herself.
"I am so paranoid" she chuckled to herself
She began to water the sprouts again making her hum the tune again. She put down the watering tin and turned on the special light that mimicked the effect of sunlight. She turned back around seeing a daisy sitting in the middle of the floor.
She immediately froze up looking around again. She picked up the flower and put it back in the vase of daisies......sitting all the way across the room.
She went back to the front counter seeing another yellow daisy placed right next to her stuff. Along with the misplaced flower
was , her satchel ,laying on the floor. Her keys, her id, and her school ID was shuffled around on the floor.
The fear and nervousness she had earlier made everything even more scary in her eyes.
"What the hell is going on?" She picked up the yellow daisies and put it back in the vase
She quickly grabbed her stuff and left the shop. As she left she noticed the back exit door was not closed but cracked open.
"Oh my gawd." She whispered to herself, shuffling out of the shop

The next morning she told Mrs. Mayflower about it. Mrs. Mayflower hugged her stroking her face.
"All that matters is that your safe. Did they take anything?" Mrs. Mayflower asked
"I don't know. There were just things misplaced and the back door was cracked open." Sunny said
"Well...Maybe your just paranoid. Just in case, I'll get someone to check the locks."
"Thanks mrs. Mayflower." Sunny said, "I'll go at the register."

Sunny took out her bag filled with her studying books. She began writing notes in her book. As she did ,she saw a figure come into the shop in the corner of her eye.
"Oh, hi Jaebum," she said giving a small smile , "did you enjoy the flowers?"
"Yes, Sunny I did." Jaebum came closer to her, "what's wrong, Sunny?"
"Nothing important," she shrugged it off looking down at her fidgety hands. She looked up knowing he saw through her facade.
"Come on, you can tell me anything?" Jaebum said holding her hands securely
"There was just something that spooked me last night. I'm just pretty on edge about it right now." She said not grabbing his hand back. She removed her hands from his smoothly using them rest her head on.
"What was it?" He asked
"I don't even know myself I'm just ...I don't know." She looked up at him smiling trying to change the mood, "Enough about me, what brings you back?" She said letting go of his subtly
"Actually I would like yellow sunflower?" Jaebum said
"Really? Where did the other ones magically disappear to? In the hands of a lady crush?" She winked at him playfully
"Something like that. I really think yellow matches her skin tone very well." He said looking directly into her eyes.
"Oh, Mrs. Mayflower says yellow matches mine. That's a coincidence." She commented looking down avoiding his gaze
"A big one." He said , "I was thinking of some different yellow flowers maybe a distribution of small and big flowers."
"Ah, I see......... maybe sunflowers with little yellow eyed sprouts or something?" She asked
"I guess......but I'm not much of a flower geek." Jaebum said. He knitted his eyebrows in confusion.
"Come with me." She said
Sunny shuffled from shelf to shelf collecting flowers. Jaebum watched her bounce from place to place in. He imagined her holding a child in her hands. Maybe making breakfast for him in the morning trying to get everything just the way she liked it.
She came back with a bright smile on her face and looking down at the bunch of flowers.
"You love your job don't you?" Jaebum asked as she shuffled around
"I mean.....yeah?" Sunny said giving him a quick glance
"What's so great about it?" Jaebum asked leaning on a nearby counter
"The flowers, the energy, the customers, and of course the pay." She said
"Would you like to own a shop of your own one day?"
"Ofcourse but I don't think I'm mentally or financially prepared for that." She said shaking her head, "here." She gave him the flowers
"I could pull a few strings and get you to own this shop. I could outpay the owner." Jaebum said expecting to butter her up
"NO, this is mrs. Mayflowers hard work and basically my second home. I mean , yeah, I want a shop but not this one. This one is for Mrs. Mayflower not me." She explained
"Wow.....your so kind and considerate" Jaebum smiled. She handed the flowers to him watching their hands slowly caress each other's.
"I guess..." she smelled the flowers in his hand and made a satisfying noise, "do you like the flowers?" She smiled up at him
"Of course." He pulled out a 50$, "Here-....."
"Jaebum, I really hope you want money back?" She sighed
"No, keep the rest I would love to help a hard-working yet struggling student like yourself."
"Your too kind for your own good." She said
"Me....? have you met you. You gave me a free damn flower, giving out free product like that could get you fired."
"And that's what I get for being nice." She said acting as if she was hurt
" 'to nice for your own good'" he mocked
She giggled pushing him playfully. He stopped laughing and just admired his flower.
His flower could brighten a whole room without even trying. She could make a man go crazy and that's exactly what she did to Jaebum.
"Jaebum," she snapped her fingers in front of his face, " you okay?"
"Yeah....never better." He smiled tightly
"You know your an odd guy, Jaebum" She noted looking him up and down. Jaebum was caught off guard by the statement but kept his composure.
"Really, how so?" He asked
"When I first met you, you seemed sad and just unstable-minded. And just a part of me just didn't want to see you like that." She zoning out. She looking
way back into her memory of when she first met him, " and now here you are."
"What so different from me now?"
"You grew up. You still wear black clothing, though, but now it seems like you actually care about yourself. Your mind is also seems like it's in a better place." She explained
"Yeah, I know." He thought back to that day, "I wanted to say thank you for your small act of compassion. I guess you kind of motivated me to change myself completely."
"Aww, I'm glad I could help." She said gushing
"Feel like I owe than just a thank you."
"No, no, no. A thank you is all I want."
'Well, your in for a lot more my pretty little flower.' He thought in his mind
